22、 the twentieth century look back at the fifteenth century and say, Maehiavelli was the first political scientist in history.

23、 together very often, but he studied ideas of right and wrong, along with politics; government leaders, he wrote, could use these ideas to get and keep power.In Maehiavellis opinion, the nature of human beings is usually evil, so a good person must always fail.

24、tical leader to know how to be bad. In fact, Maehiavelli saw leaders of government as people above ordinary human beings; so he believed they are also above ordinary morality. Good and evil, he said, are only ideas that weak people use to excuse weakness; powerful people use these ideas to keep othe

25、r people weak. They can lead because they want power and because they fight for it. Also these leaders are not usually afraid to leave morality behind, so they dont have ideas of right or wrong to stop them. They think only of power. It is nice, Maehiavelli said, if political leaders can also be goo

26、d people, but they must know how to be bad when the time comes.Maehiavelli said that it is natural to fight for power and that there are two methods people use: law and physical force. The first method is the way of human beings. They do this to get and keep power.People are evil, in Maehiavellis op

27、inion, so war and fighting are always in the world; they are a natural part of it.

33、the misunderstandings between them. They have always complained, more or less justly, that their parents are out of touch with modern ways: that they are possessive and dominant; that they do not trust their children to deal with crises; that they talk too much about certain problem-and that they la

34、ck sense of humor, at least in parent-child relationships. I think it is true that parents often underestimate their teenage children and also forget how they themselves felt when young.Young people often irritate their parents with their choices in clothes and hairstyles, in entertainters and music

35、. This is not their motive. They feel cut off from the adult world into which they have not yet been accepted. So they create a culture and society of their own. Then, if it turns out that their music or entertainers or vocabulary or clothes or hairstyles irritate their parents, this gives them addi

36、tional enjoyment. They feel they are superior, at least in a small way, and that they are leaders in style and taste.Sometimes you are resistant and proud because you do not want your parents to approve of what you do. If they approve, it looks as if you are betraying your own age group. But in that

37、 case, you are assuming that you are the underdog; you cannot win but at least you keep your honor. This is a passive way of looking at things. It is natural enough after long years of childhood when you were completely under your parents control. But it ignores the fact that you are now beginning t

38、o be responsible for yourself.if you plan to control your life, cooperation can be part of that plan. You can charm others, especially your parents, into doing things the way you want.

43、time in your life you may have a strong desire to do something strange or terrible. However, chances are that you dont act on your impulse, but let it pass instead. You know that to commit the action is wrong in some way and that other people will not accept your behavior.昆明理工大学2011年硕士研究生招生入学考试试题(A卷

44、)Perhaps the most interesting thing about the phenomenon of the behavior is how it can change over the years within the same society, how certain behavior and attitudes once considered taboo can become perfectly acceptable and natural at another point in time. Topics such as death. for example, were

45、 once considered so upsetting and unpleasant that is was a taboo to even talk about them.
