The measure of helping was whether the individual who found the envelope actually mailed it or not. Results showed that people were more likelyto___59___the application if the person in the photo was physically attractive.The degree of___60___between the potential helper and the person in need is also important. For example, people are more likely to help a stranger who is from the same country rather than a foreigner. In one study, shoppers on a busy street in Scotland were more likely to help a person wearing a(n)___61___T-shirt than a person wearing a T-shirt printed with offensive words.Whether a person receives help depends in part on the "worth" of the case.

The question is：Is economic globalization___50___for all?According to the World Bank, one of its chief supporters, economic globalization has helped reduce___51___in a large number of developing countries. It quotes one study that shows increased wealth___52___to improved education and longer life in twenty-four developing countries as a result of integration (融合) of local economies into the world economy. Home to some three billion people, these twenty-four countries have seen incomes___53___at an average rate of five percent—compared to two percent in developed countries.Those who___54___globalization claim that economies in developing countries will benefit from new opportunities for small and home-based businesses.___55___, small farmers in Brazil who produce nuts that would originally have sold only in___56___open-air markets can now promote their goods worldwide by the Internet.Critics take a different view, believing that economic globalization is actually___57___the gap between the rich and poor.

For example, Indian craftsmen who currently seem to benefit from globalization because they are able to___60___their products may soon face fierce competition that could pot them out of___61___.

Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Research has shown that two-thirds of human conversation is taken up not with discussion of the cultural or political problems of the day, not heated debates about films we've just watched or books we've just finished reading, but plain and simple ___51___.Language is our greatest treasure as a species, and what do we ___52___ do with it? We gossip. About others' behaviour and private lives, such as who's doing what with whom, who's in and who's out-and why; how to deal with difficult ___53___ situations involving children, lovers, and colleagues.So why are we keen on gossiping? Are we just natural ___54___, of both time and words? Or do we talk a lot about nothing in particular simply to avoid facing up to the really important issues of life? It's not the case according to Professor Robin Dunbar. In fact, in his latest book, Grooming,Gossip and the Evolution of Language, the psychologist says gossip is one of these really___55___issues.Dunbar ___56___ the traditional view that language was developed by the men at the early stage of social development in order to organize their manly hunting activities more effectively, or even to promote the exchange of poetic stories about their origins and the supernatural. Instead he suggests that language evolved among women. We don't spend two-thirds of our time gossiping just because we can talk, argues Dunbar—___57___, he goes on to say, language evolved specifically to allow us to gossip.Dunbar arrived at his cheery theory by studying the ___58___ of the higher primates（灵长类动物）like monkeys. By means of grooming--cleaning the fur by brushing it, monkeys form groups with other individuals on whom they can rely for support in the event of some kind of conflict within the group or___59___ from outside it.As we human beings evolve from a particular branch of the primate family, Dunbar ___60___ that at one time in our history we did much the same. Grouping together made sense because the bigger the group, the greater the ___61___ it provided; on the other hand, the bigger the group, the greater the stresses of living close to others. Grooming helped to ___62___ the pressure and calm everybody down.But as the groups got bigger and bigger, the amount of time spent in grooming activities also had to be ___63___ to maintain its effectiveness. Clearly, a more ___64___ kind of grooming was needed, and thus language evolved as a kind of vocal（有声的）grooming which allowed humans to develop relationship with ever-larger groups by exchanging information over a wider network of individuals than would be possible by one-to-one ___65___ contact.51.

Life for ancient people’s earned to center on hunting and gathering wild foods for meals.In modern times, when food is available in grocery stores, finding love is more___52___in people’s lives.

An endless number of books and movies qualify as love stories in popular culture.Researchers are studying whether love, a highly valued emotional state, can be___54___. They ask, what is love? Toothpaste companies want us to think attraction is all about clean teeth, but clean teeth go only so far. Scientists wonder how much the brain gets involved. You have probably heard that opposites attract but that___55___attract, too. One thing is certain: The truth about love is not yet set in stone.First ImpressionTo help determine the___56___of attraction, researchers paired 164 college classmates and had them talk for 3, 6 or 10 minutes so they could get a sense of each other’s individuality. Then students were asked to___57___what kind of relationship they were likely to build with their partners. After nine weeks, they reported what happened.。
