14、 all zoologists know, experiments can only tell you so much. eventually, you have to look at natural populations.and that is what mr. pollet and dr. nettle have done. they have examined data from the 1910 census of the united states of america and discovered that marriage is, indeed, a market. moreo

20、e most controversial issue across the united states today is the death penalty. many argue that it is an effective deterrent (威慑)to murder, while others maintain there is no convincing evidence that the death penalty reduces the number of murders.the principal argument advanced by those opposed to t

21、he death penalty, basically, is that it is cruel and inhuman punishment, which is the mark of a brutal society, and finally that it is of questionable effectiveness as a deterrent to crime anyway.in our opinion, the death penalty is a necessary evil. throughout recorded history there have always bee
