18、with this treatment, and the usual response is “This is the right color and may be the right size, but I shouldnt be 47 my time and yours by trying it on.” For a woman, buying clothes is always done in the 48 way. Her shopping is not often 49 on need. She has never fully decided what she wants, and

19、she is only “having a look round”. She is always 50 to persuasion, willing to try on any number of things. Deep in her mind is the thought of finding something that 51 thinks suits her. Most women have an excellent sense of value and are always on the look-out for the unexpected 52 . Faced with a ro

Inuit（因纽特人） families going off on snowmobiles to prepare their summer hunting camps have found themsel

25、ves cut off from home by a sea of mud. There are also reports of sea ice breaking up earlier than usual, carrying seals beyond the reach of hunters. Climate change may still be a rather abstract（抽象的） idea to most of us, but in the Arctic it is already having great effectif summertime ice continues t

26、o shrink at its present rate, the Arctic Ocean could soon become almost ice-free in summer. The knock-on effects（连锁反应） are likely to include more warming, cloudier skies and higher sea levels. Scientists are increasingly eager to find out whats going on in the Arctic. For the Inuit the problem is ur

27、gent. They live in unsteady balance with one of the toughest environments on earth. Climate change, whatever its causes, is a direct danger to their way of life. Nobody knows the Arctic as well as the locals, which is why they are not content simply to stand back and let outsider experts tell them w

28、hats happening. In Canada, where the Inuit people are trying hard to guard their hard-won autonomy（自治权） in the countrys newest land, Nunavut, they believe their best hope of survival in this changing environment lies in combining their ancestral (祖先的 ) knowledge with the best of modern science. This

29、 is a challenge in itself. The Canadian Arctic is a vast, treeless polar desert thats covered with snow for most of the year. Adventure into this area and you get some idea of the hardships facing anyone who calls this home. Farming is out of the question and nature offers few pickings. Humans first

30、 settled in the Arctic a mere 4,500 years ago, surviving by taking advantage of sea first. The environment tested them to the limits: sometimes the settlers were successful; sometimes they failed and disappeared. But around a thousand years ago, one group appeared that was uniquely well adapted to d

Many things can c

35、ause allergies. The most common cause is pollen (花粉 ), which is usually produced by trees in the spring, grasses in the summer and weeds in the fall, as part of their reproductive process. Other causes include organisms, chemicals, plants and dead skin particles (微粒 ) from dogs and cats can also cau

36、se allergic reactions. So can insect stings and some food. The most common kind of allergic reactions is itchy (痒的 ), watery eyes and a blocked or watery nose. Allergies can also cause red, itchy skin. Some reactions can be life-threatening, for example, when breathing passages become blocked. It is

37、 not always easy to avoid allergies. Drugs may offer an effective treatment. Another treatment used in some cases is called immunotherapy (免疫疗法 ). A patient is injected with small amounts of the allergy-causing substance. The idea is that larger and larger amounts are given over time until the patie

38、nt develops a resistance in his body. In the United States, experts estimate that up to 8% of young children have food allergies. Every year these allergies cause about 30,000 cases with severe reactions that require immediate treatment. It can result in breathing trouble and in some cases death. It

39、 is said that about 100 to 200 people will die. It says most of the reactions are caused by peanuts and tree nuts like walnuts. People can also be allergic to medicines. The American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology says about 10% of bad reactions to commonly used medicines are allergic. In

40、 other words, a persons immune system overreacts and produces an allergic reaction.

He believes that physical appearance is often culturally progr

44、ammed. In other words, we learn our lookswe are not born with them. A baby has generally informed face features. A baby, according to Birdwhistell, learns where to set the eyebrows by looking at those aroundfamily and friends. This helps explain why the people of some areas of the United States look

45、 so much alike. New Englanders or Southerners have certain common face features that cannot be explained by genetics (遗传学 ). The exact shape of the mouth is not set at birth, it is learned after. In fact, the final mouth shape is not formed until well after new teeth are set. For many, this can be w

46、ell into grown-ups. A husband and wife together for a long time often come to look alike. We learn our looks from those around us. This is perhaps why in a single country area where people smile more than those in other areas. In the United States, for example, the South is the part of the country w

47、here the people smile most frequently. In New England they smile less, and in the western part of New York State still less. Many southerners find cities such as New York cold and unfriendly, partly because people on Madison Avenue smile less than people on Peachtree Street in Atlanta, Georgia. Peop

48、le in largely populated areas also smile and greet each other in public less than people in small towns do. 【小题 1】 Ray Birdwhistell believes that physical appearance _.

A as soon as ones teeth are newly set B sometime after new t
