4、red to as the Third World. They have special problems. Often their land is too poor to grow anything on. The land can be improved.

11、n be aware how deeply a finger is thrust into water at body temperature, even if the finger is enclosed in a rubber glove that keeps the skin completely dry. Many other animals with highly sensitive skins, appear to be able to learn still more about their environment. Often they do so without employ

12、ing any of the five senses. By observing the capabilities of other members of the animal kingdom, we come to realize that a human being has far more possibilities than are utilized. We neglect ever so many of our senses in concentrating on the five major ones. At the same time, a comparison between

13、animals and man draws attention to the limitations of each sense. The part of the spectrum(光谱 )seen by color-conscious man as red is non-existent for honey-bees. But a bee can see far more in flowers than we, because the ultra-violet(紫外线 )to which our eyes are blind is a stimulating part of the inse

18、ronment. 10 What is exactly a lie? Is it anything we say which we know is untrue? Or is it something more than that? For example, suppose a friend wants to borrow some money from you, you say: “ 1 wish I could help you but I m short of money myself. “In fact, you are not short of money, but your fri

19、end is in the habit of not paying his debts and you don t want to hurt his feelings by reminding him of this. Is this really a lie? A scientific study of lying shows women are better liars than men, particularly when telling a white lie such as when a woman at a party tells another woman that she li

20、kes her dress when she really thinks it looks terrible. However, this is only one side of the story. Other researches show that men are more likely to tell more serious lies, such as making a promise which they have no intention of fulfilling. This is the kind of lie politicians and businessmen are

21、supposed to be particularly skilled at; the lie from which the liar hopes to profit or gain in some way. Research has also been done into the way people s behavior changes in a number of small, apparently unimportant ways when they lie. It has been found that if they are sitting down at the same tim

22、e, they tend to move about in their chairs more than usual.

27、 it s very possible that you 11 be interested in England. That s where the language was first spoken. But England is often called by other names. This often confuses people and I wonder if you know what these names mean. So, now I would like to tell you about this matter of names. 1 believe that you

28、 have heard people use the names England, Britain or Great Britain. Let s see what each of these names means. If you look at a map of Europe, you 11 see a group of islands one larger island off the northwest coast, one smaller and many tiny ones. These make up what is called the British Isles. The l

29、argest island of the British Isles is Britain. It is also called Great Britain. The smaller island is Ireland. Britain is divided into three parts: Scotland, Wales and England.

30、ee different countries. People in these different countries spoke different languages. Over many years the three countries became one. England is the largest and richest of the three and it has the most people. So the English people take it for granted that their own name stands for the whole island

31、. Theres another thing that confuses people; sometimes you may hear people say “the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland“. That is the official name of the country. Northern Ireland is only one sixth of the island of Ireland. The rest of the island is an independent state, called the

32、 Republic of Ireland. So we have the names of “England“ , “Britain“ , “Great Britain“ , and “the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland“.
