13、Eng(总题数：1，分数：20.00)The behavior of individuals is influenced by heredity, environment and culture. Culture includes rules of (31) an individual is expected to behave in a particular society. Sometimes rules for behavior differ (32) one culture to another, and sometimes the rules are (33) .The Englis
14、h and Mexican golden rules are very similar, if not in words, in sentiment. The English golden rule,“ Do unto others as you would have them do unto you,“ instructs people how to (34) with others inside and outside the home. The Mexican golden rule, “Between individuals, as between nations, respect (
15、35) other peoples rights means peace, “likewise instruct people how to behave with others. Perhaps because all cultures are equally concerned (36) their childrens manners, we find many (37) similarities than differences in the way Mexicans and Americans teaching children the golden rule.In the (38)
16、of strangers, the golden rule is applied similarly and differently in the two countries. In America, the family emphasizes independence and teaches children how to take (39) of themselves. This lesson often includes a warning (40) they cant believe everyone and should be wary of strangers. Children
17、are taught what to do, how to use the phone, and (41) to call for help in (42) of emergency or trouble with a stranger.

Science is a method of answering theoretical questions, technology is a method of solving practical problems (and sometimes creating new problems
21、out of the “solutions“). Science has to do with discovering the facts and relationships between observable phenomena in nature and with establishing theories that serve to organize these facts and relalionships; technology has to do with tools, techniques, and procedures for implementing the finding
22、s of science. Another distinction between science and technology has to do with the progress in each.Progress in science excludes the human factor. And this is justly so. Scientists, who seek to comprehend the universe and know the truth within the highest degree of accuracy and certainty, cannot pa
23、y heed to their own or other peoples likes or dislikes or to popular ideas about the fitness of things. What scientists discover may shock or anger peopleas did Darwins theory of evolution. But even an unpleasant truth is more than likely to be useful, besides, we have the option of refusing to beli
24、eve it! But hardly so with technology, we do not have the option of refusing to hear the sonic boom produced by a supersonic aircraft flying overhead, we do not have the option of refusing to breathe polluted air, and we do not have the option of living in a nonatomic age. Unlike science, progress i
25、n technology must be measured in terms of the human factor. Technology must be our slave and not the reverse. The legitimate purpose of technology is to serve peoplepeople in general, not merely some people, and future generation, not merely those who presently wish to gain advantage for themselves.
26、 Technology must be humanistic if it is to lead to a better world.We are all familiar with the abuses of technology. Many people blame technology itself for widespread pollution, resource depletion and even social decay in gereralso much so that the promise of technology is obscured. That promise is
27、 a cleaner and healthier world. If wise applications of science and technology do not lead to a better world, what else will?Pioneers in technology, such as Buckminster. Fuller see the extension of science and technology in our sapcefaring activities of the last 2 decades as marking a major stage in
28、 our evolution. As little Jenny suggests in the photo at the beginning of this chaper, perhaps we are like the hatching chicken who has exhausted the resources of its inner egg environment and is about to break through to a whole new range of possibilities. This is an exciting time.（分数：5.00）(1).Acco

37、 ends in Plaza de Espana. As you wander its wide lawns or bicycling along the sidewalks in the late afternoon, it is easy to imagine the wives of Spanish governors serving hot chocolate to their guests on the terrace of the aptly-named Chocolate House.Less imposing, though just as defiant against th
38、e sun and humidity, are the remains of the Casa Gobierno, the Governors Palace, which stand beneath a vast banyan tree.

45、 modem society has changed peoples natural relations, loosened their responsibilities to kin and neighbors, and substituted in their place superficial relationships with passing acquaintances. However, in recent years a growing body of research has revealed that the “obvious“ is not true. It seems t
46、hat if you are a city resident, you typically know a smaller proportion of your neighbors than you do if you are a resident of a smaller community. But, for the most part, this fact has few significant consequences. It does not necessarily follow that if you know few of your neighbors you will know
47、no one else.Even in very large cities, people maintain close social ties within small, private social worlds. Indeed, the number and quality of meaningful relationships do not differ between more and less urban people. Small-town residents are more involved with kin than are big-city residents. Yet
48、city dwellers compensate by developing friendships with people who share similar interests and activities. Urbanism may produce a different style of life, but the quality of life does not differ between town and city. Nor are residents of large communities any likelier to display psychological sympto
