The term culture now is used to describe everything from the fine arts to the outlook of a business group or a sports team. In its original sense, however, culture 41 all identifying aspects of an ethnic(民族的) group, nation, or empire: its physical environment, history, and traditions; its social rules and economic structure; its religious beliefs and arts.
The central beliefs and customs of a group are handed down from one generation to another. It is for this reason that most people regarded culture as 42 rather than inborn. People acquire a culture; they are not 43 with one. The process by which a person develops a 44 for regional foods, or an outlook on the world over time, 45 , is known as enculturation(文化适应).
Cultures are often identified by their 46 - images that are familiar and have meanings. Totem(图腾) poles carved with animal and creative figures suggests aspects of the Native American peoples of the Pacific Northwest but more accurately 47 specific families. In Asia and India, the color of yellow is identified with Buddhist and Hindu priests; in ancient China it was a color only for the family of the 48 . Thus, different cultures may respond to a symbol quite 49 . For example, to some a flag may represent pride, historical accomplishments, or ideals; to others, 50 , it can me an danger or oppression.
To individuals unfamiliar with cultures outside their own, the beliefs, behaviors, and artistic expression of other groups can seem 51 and even threatening. A society that 52 all other cultures with its own standards is said to be ethnocentric(民族优越感的). A strongly ethnocentric society assumes also that what is different from its own culture is likely to be 53 and, possibly, wrong or evil.
All people are ethnocentric to some degree, and aspects of ethnocentrism, such as national pride, 54 a well-functioning society. An appreciation for one's own culture, however, does not preclude(排除) acceptance and respect for another culture. History documents the long-term vigor and success of multicultural groups in which people from numerous and diverse cultural backgrounds live and work together. Ethnocentrism, 55 , can lead to racism---the belief that it is race and ethnic origin that account for variations in human character or ability and that one's own race is superior to all others.

One of the greatest contributions to the first Oxford English Dictionary was also one of its most unusual, In 1879, Oxford University in England asked Prof. James Murray to serve as editor for what was to be the most ambitious dictionary in the history of the English language. It would include every English word possible and would give not only the definition but also the history of the word and-quotations(引文) showing how it was used.
This was a huge task, so Murrary had to find volunteers from Britain, t ho United States, and the British colonies to search every newspaper, magazine, and book ever written in English. Hundreds of volunteers responded, including William Chester Minor. Dr. Minor was an American surgeon who had served in the Civil War and was now living in England. He gave his address as“Broadmoor, Crowthorne, Berkshire,” 50 miles from Oxford.
Minor joined the army of volunteers sending words and quotations to Murray. Over the next17 years, he became one of the staff's most valued contributors.
But he was also a mystery. In spite of many invitations, he would always decline to visit Oxford. So in 1897, Murray finally decided to travel to Crowthorne himself. When he arrived, he found Minor locked in a book-lined cell at the Broadmoor Asylum (精神病院) for the Criminally Insane.
Murray and Minor became friends, sharing their love of words. Minor continued contributing to the dictionary, sending in more than 10,000 submissions in 20 years. Murray continued to visit Minor regularly, sometimes taking walks with him around the asylum grounds.
In 1910, Minor left Broadmoor for an asylum in his native America. Murray was at the port to wave goodbye to his remarkable friend.
Minor died in 1920, seven years before the first edition of the Oxford English Dictionary was completed. The 12 volumes defined 414,825 words, and thousands of them were contributions from a very scholarly and devoted asylum patient.

A peer is a person who is about the same age as you. Peers affect your life, whether you know it or not, just by spending time with you.
Peers can have a good effect on one another. Maybe another student in your science class taught you an easy way to remember the planets in solar system. Maybe you got others excited about your new favorite book and now everyone's reading it.
However, sometimes peers affect one another in another way. For example, one kid in school might try to get another to cut class with him, your soccer friend might try to persuade you to be mean to another player and never pass her the ball, or a kid in the neighborhood might want you to steal things with him.
Some kids give in to peer pressure because they want to be liked, to fit in, or because they worry that other kids may make fun of them if they don't go along with the group. Others may go along because they are curious to try something new that others are doing. The idea that“everyone’ s doing it' may influence some kids to leave their better judgments or their common senses behind.
Peer pressure can be extremely strong and hard to get rid of. Experiments have shown how peer pressure can influence someone to change her/ his mind from what she/ he knows for sure is a correct answer to the incorrect answer—— just because everyone else gives the incorrect answer! That holds true for people of any age in peer pressure situations.
It can be hard to walk away from peer pressure, but it can be done. Paying attention to your own feelings and beliefs about what is right and wrong can help you know the right thing to do. Inner strength and self-confidence can help you stand firm, walk away and resist doing something when you know better.
63. The writer will NOT agree that .
A. only children change their correct answers under peer pressure
B. Peers will believe in themselves if other peers agree with them
C. peers have effect on each other whether the effect is good or not
D. Peer pressure is very strong and difficult for people to get rid of
64. The writer intends to by writing the passage.
A. encourage people to follow others' opinions
B. warn people to stay away from their peers
C. tell people it is hard to be away from peer pressure
D. advise people to do the right despite peer pressure
65. All of the following aspects are concerned in the passage EXCEPT .
A. The definition of the peer and how it affects life
B. The reason why kids have stronger peer pressure
C. The way peers influence each other in daily life
D. The way peer pressure influences our judgment
66. What is the passage mainly about
A. Peer pressure has a good effect. B. Peer pressure is hard to resist.
C. Children give in to peer pressure. D. Peer pressure always does harm.

Suffering from chronic fatigue(慢性疲劳) Read on to know how to deal with it.
Let your brain waves relax before sleep. If you want to feel energized in the morning, you need to change your evening and bedtime routines. 67 Besides, stay away from your phone, laptop, TV and any device that gives off the blue light.
Never skip your meals. No matter how busy or depressed you are, never ever skip your meals. Have a wholesome breakfast, a light lunch, healthy snacks and a delicious dinner every single day. 68
Take a nap: If you are suffering from chronic fatigue and you have trouble surviving the afternoon, taking a short nap(15-20 minutes) is a healthy way. Ask your co-workers not to disturb you for 15 minutes. Or let your boss know that you need to take a short nap every afternoon due to health issues.
Give tea a try. 69 However, since it has poor energy-boosting properties, it is time to try something new. Earl Grey tea or black tea is a better option when it comes to energy-boosting drinks.
70 Taking a cold shower in the morning is an excellent way to wake yourself up and! give yourself plenty of energy. However, if you have a weak immune system, this method is not for you. Drinking a glass of cold water as soon as you wake up is a safer way to pump up your energy levels.
