than react in your usual way, such as “i cant believe they would do that,” 26 say something to yourself like “i see, that must be the way they 27 things in their world. very interesting.” in order for this 28 to help you, you have to be genuine (真诚的).recently i was at a shopping mall with my six-year old daughter29a group of punk rockers walked by with orange spiked hair and tattoos (纹身) covering much of their bodies. at the sight of them, my daughter immediately asked me, “daddy, why are they 30 like that?” years ago i would have felt very 31 with such young people. i would have given a judgmental explanation and passed along to her my 32 . pretending to be an anthropologist, however, has 33 my perspective (看法) a great deal, so its made me 34 .i said to my daughter, “im not really sure, but its interesting how 35 we all are, isnt it?” she said, “yeah, 36 i like my own hair.”when you are interested in other perspectives, it doesnt mean youre 37them. i certainly wouldnt choose a

television allows viewers(观众) to receive tvprograms that they can not pick up with their ordinary antenna.television signals (信号) do not follow the curve(曲线) of the earth. they travel in straight lines in all directions. signals from a tv station move towards the horizon(水平线) and then go into space. if you live only a few miles from a tv station, you may get a good picture on your set. but if you live more than 50 miles from a station, you may not get any pictured at all.catv began in 1948. people in places far from tv stations had to pay for putting up high antennas. a community antenna was usually placed on a hill, a mountain or on a high tower. the antenna picked up tv signals and fed them into a small local(当地的) station. from the station, thick wires called cable ran out to nearby homes. each person using the cable paid a monthly charge(费用).catv worked well, and soon new uses were found for it. local stations could feed programs into empty channels that were not in use. people along the cable could have local news, weather report, and farm and school news at no extra charge.toddy, cable television has moved into cities. it brings in extra programs that city viewers with ordinary antenna can not see. it is also used in many classrooms throughout the country.根据短文内容，选择正确答案。41. from the first paragraph we know that _.a. most people use cable television b. “community

2050 there may be 12. 5 billion. this is a lot of people to feed. we need more food. one way to produce more food is by growing stronger plants. for thousands of years, farmers have made plants better. every season, they pick the best plants for the next season. it works very slowly. since 1983, scientists have been able to change plants more quickly by changing their genetic material (遗传物质). foods from plants grown in this way are called genetically modified foods(转基因食品), or gm foods. by changing the genetic material of a plant, it is possible to make new plants. they make plants which are strong against plant diseases. they can also help in our diseases: a kind of rice is being prepared(准备) ,for example, which stops people from becoming blind. rich countries produce gm foods because they are easy to grow and bring in more money. poor countries are interested in them because they help produce more food,gm plants are not natural. no one knows how good or bad they are. making gm foods is only one way of feeding people in 2050. there are strong feelings against them, because they are unnatural . they may feed people, then hurt them or their children later. but, both rich and poor countries are very interested in their use, and they are not going to go away. in 2050 we may think differently about them. 56. gm foods are made by_. a. farmers b. workers c. scientists
