The idea of rain making is almost as old as man, but it was not until 1964 that man succeeded in making rain. In ancient times, rainmakers claimed to be able to bring rain by many methods: dancing, singing, killing various kinds of living creatures (including humans), and blowing a stream of water into the air from a kind of pipe.
More recently, some rainmakers claimed to make rain by shooting guns, causing explosions, or burning chemical, the smoke of which was supposed to cause rain to fall. These rainmakers asked for as much as 1,000 dollars to make an inch of rain. One was so effective that he was almost hanged. He was believed to have caused a twenty-inch rain in southern California that flooded that land, killed several people, and did millions of dollars’ worth of damage.
Before 1946, rainmakers were either liars or honest people who have good luck. Scientific rain making was started in that year by Vincent J. Schaefer, a scientist at the laboratories of the General Electric Company in New York State. His success was the result of a lucky accident that changed years of failure into victory.

44. Who was the first rainmaker succeeding in making rain?

If I ever end up in a police missing-persons report, it will be because I went out to run some errands (跑差事) for my wife and never returned.
My adventure begins when I announce that I am going out to get a haircut, or to pick up my suit at the cleaner’s, or to do something that shouldn’t take very long.
As I look for my car keys, my wife utters (说出) those terrible words: “While you’re out …” This is a signal for me to make sure the car has enough gas for a cross-country trip because God knows when I will come back.
Of course my wife runs 95 percent of the errands, or that she is the one who keeps the household running smoothly. If it were up to me, the whole family would come to an end. The simple reason is that I am not good at doing anything more complicated than going out to get a haircut.
Here is what often happens:
“I’m going out to get a haircut,” I announce.
“While you’re out,” my wife says, “can you drop off the movie we rented last week? It’s due back today and I don’t want to pay a late charge.” “Sure,” I say.
Then she adds, “And stop at the post office for a book of stamps.” At last, I become nervous. I can handle a haircut and two errands. One more errand and I’m finished.
“And stop at the vet’s to pick up a bag of dog food.”
It doesn’t matter if all of these places are in the same shopping center (they aren’t). Three errands are more than my brain can process (处理). So I write them down.
“You mean you can’t remember three little errands?” my wife asks unbelievably.
Sadly, I can’t. I can remember to return the movie because it will be in the car. But with no visible reminders of my other two errands, I will almost certainly forget one of them.
I have to figure out where to go first. Should I get a haircut and then run my errands?
Should I stop at the post office first, get a haircut and then go to the video store and the vet’s on my way home?
Later in the day, I return home. With no small amount of pride, I hand her the book of stamps and the bag of dog food. She holds up a small box and says, “You forgot to give the movie back.”
It’s the story of my life: In one ear and out of the other.
53. The use of the word “terrible” in paragraph 3 shows that the writer ______.
A. does not love his wife
B. has deep hatred for his wife
C. gets frightened by his wife’s voice
D. is anxious about his wife’s request
54. The wife asks her husband to do three things after his haircut because ______.
A. she thinks they are easy errands
B. she likes to do housework at home
C. she is not satisfied with her lazy husband
D. she does not want to do these things herself
55. Why does the husband write down the three things?
A. He is serious.
B. He is joking.
C. He is forgetful.
D. He is foolish.
56. When the husband returns home, he is ______.
A. rather tired
B. very happy
C. rather proud
D. very nervous

It is well-known that when an individual joins a group, he tends to ac cept the group’s standards of behavior and thinking. Many illustrations(事例)could be given of this from everyday life, but what is of particular interest to psychologists is the extent to which people’s judgments and opinions can be changed as a result of group pressure. Asch and others noticed that people in a group will agree to statements that are contrary to the evidence of their senses. It would be a mistake to think that only particularly docile(听话的)people are chosen to take part in experiments of this type. Usually highly intelligent and independent people are used. In a typical experiment, this is what may happen.
The experimenter asks for volunteers to join a group which is investigating visual perception (视觉).The subjects are not, therefore, aware of the real purpose of the experiment. Each volunteer is taken to a room where he finds a group of about seven people who are cooperating with the experimenter. The group is shown a standard card which contains a single line. They are then asked to look at a second card. This has three lines on it. One is obviously longer than the line on the first card; one is shorter and one the same length. They have to say which line on the second card is the same length as the line on the standard card. The other members of the group answer first but what the volunteer does not know is that they have been told to pick one of the wrong lines. When his turn comes, he is faced with the unanimous(全体一致的)opinion of the rest of the group----all the others have chosen line A but he quite clearly sees line B as correct. What will be done? According to Asch, more than half of the subjects chosen will change their opinion. What is equally surprising is that, having interviewed about their answers, most explained that they knew the group choice was incorrect but they gave in to the pressure of the group because they thought they must be suffering from an optical illusion(视错觉), or because they were afraid of being different.
57.The psychologists are particularly interested in .
A.the changes in the attitudes of the people
B.the degree of changes of people’s opinions
C.the result of the experiment
D.the difference in people’s characters
58.People who are usually chosen to take part in the experiments are . A.independent B.easily guided C.foolish D.capable of reasoning 59.Which of the following statements is true?
A.The experimenter and all the members of the group except the subject know the purpose of the
experiment.
B.All of them know the purpose of the experiment.
C.Only the experimenter knows the purpose of the experiment.
D.Only the subject knows the purpose of the experiment
60.More than half of the subjects changed their opinion because .
A.someone in the group changed their opinion
B.they thought their eyes must be cheated
C.they thought the group choice was correct
D.they had been told about the answer

My uncle will never forget what happened to him yesterday.
Towards the evening, he was invited to an inn. He enjoyed his dinner with his friends, drinking a lot of beers. As a result, he got drunk. He insisted on driving home after the meal, although his friends tried to persuade him not to.
A few minutes later, he was winding his way on the street. And then his car ran into a tall tree. Fortunately, he was still alive, though seriously injured. The police came to the scene, and he was taken to hospital. Naturally, he had to stay in hospital for several days. Worse still, his driving license was revoked. How he regretted what he had done!。
