11、 in these even numbered lessons. The features in textbooks are 【B5】 into the following three categories. Front matter is the 【B6】 -numeral paginated section at the front of most books.

In the 【B6】 of television, however, the commentator sees everything with the viewer. His role, therefore,

Based on this story, a famous political cartoonist for the Washington Star drew a

A survey conducted recently in Beijing by a market survey company 【33】 that about 33 percent of the 1,300 surveyed families in Beijing said they have 【34】 plans to have children. It is est

37、imated there about 600,000 DINK families in large cities like Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Chongqing. Why they choose such a lifestyle is concluded in 【35】 reasons. Some are showing great worry for the rapid growth of population; some are indulged in building a more well-off family; some

38、 are showing sharp 【36】 to get themselves free from the obligation of raising children. 【37】 , most people still believe it is necessary to bear a child to keep the family line on. As an old Chinese saying goes: There are three aspects in failing to be a filial son and the 【38】 serious one is to hav

39、e no heir for the family. So, childless couples will suffer discrimination 【39】 family members and neighbors.

42、the roots of our habits and skills are to be 【B2】 in our past experiences, which are brought into the present 【B3】 memory. Memory can be defined as the capacity to keep 【B4】 available for later use. It includes not only “remembering“ thing like arithmetic or historical facts, but also any change in

43、the way an animal typically behaves. Memory is 【B5】 when a rat gives up eating grain because he has sniffed something suspicious in the grain pile. Memory is also involved when a six year old child learns to swing a baseball bat. Memory 【B6】 not only in humans and animals but also in some physical o

44、bjects and machines. Computers, for example, contain devices for storing data for later use. It is interesting to compare the memory storage capacity of a computer 【B7】 that of a human being. The instant access memory of a large computer may hold up to 100,000 “words“ ready for 【B8】 use. An average

45、American teenager probably recognizes the meanings of about 100,000 words of English. However, this is but a fraction of the total 【B9】 of information which the teenager has stored.

When the work is well done, a 【B3】 of accident-free operations is established 【B4】 time lost due to injuries is kept at a minimum. Successful safety programs may 【B5】 greatly in the emphasis placed on certain aspects of the prog

49、ram. Some place great emphasis on mechanical guarding. Others stress safe work practices by 【B6】 rules or regulations. 【B7】 others depend oh an emotional appeal to the worker. But, there are certain basic ideas that must be used in every program if maximum results are to be obtained. There can be no question about the value of a safety program; From a financial stand-point alone, safety 【B8】 . The fewer the injury 【B9】 , the better the workmans insurance rate. This may mean the difference between operating at 【B10】 or at a loss.
