Protests (抗議) at the use of animals in research have taken on a new and fearful character in

Britain with the attempted murder of two British scientists by the terrorist (恐怖分子的) technique of the pre planted car bomb.

The research community (社團(tuán)) will rightly be alarmed at these developments which have two aims: to draw public attention and to frighten people working in research with animals. The scientists insist that everything should be done to identify those responsible for the crimes and to put them on trial. The Defense Research Society has taken the practical step of offering a reward of ￡10,000 for information leading to those responsible, but past experience is not encouraging. People are unlikely to be attracted by such offers. The professional police will similarly be challenged by the problem of finding a needle in a haystack.

That is why the intellectual (知識分子) community in Britain and elsewhere must act more strongly in its own defense. There are several steps that can be taken, of which the chief one is to demand of all the organizations that exist with the declared aims of defending the interests of animals that they should declare clearly where they stand on violence towards people. And it will not be enough for the chairman and chairwoman of these organizations to make placatory (安撫的) statements on behalf of all their members. These people should also promise that it will be a test of continuing membership in their organizations that members and would-be members should declare that they will take no part in acts of violence against human beings.

68．The words “these developments” (Line 1, Para.2) most probably refer to          .

       A．the use of animals in research

       B．the acts of violence against scientists

       C．the techniques of planting bombs in cars

       D．setting up of new animal protection organizations

69．Which of the following is true according to the passage?

       B．The terrorists escaped with the help of their organization.

       C．The attempted murder caused great anxiety among British scientists.

       D．People supported the animal protectors in spite of their extremist acts.

70．The author’s purpose in writing this article is to demand that animal-protecting organizations         .

       A．give up the use of violence

       B．declare their aims clearly

       C．continue the dialogue with the scientific community

       D．help to find those responsible for the attempted murder

71．In the author’s opinion,           .

       A．a(chǎn)nimal-protecting organizations should be declared illegal

       B．the scientists should take effective measures to protect themselves

       C．since people can lie, the problem about the rights of scientists can’t be solved

       D．a(chǎn)nimal-protecting organizations should help the police to fight against the acts of violence against scientists

    In our culture, the sources of what we call a sense of “mastery” feeling important and worthwhile and the sources of what we call a sense of “pleasure” finding life enjoyable are not always the same. Women often are told “You can’t have it all.” Sometimes what the speaker really is saying is: “You chose a career, so you can’t expect to have closer relationships or a happy family life.” or “You have a wonderful husband and children―What’s all this about wanting a career?” But women need to understand and develop both aspects of well-being, if they are to feel good about themselves.

Our study shows that, for women, well-being has two dimensions. One is mastery, which includes self-esteem, a sense of control over your life, and low levels of anxiety and depression. Mastery is closely related to the “doing” side of life, to work and activity. Pleasure is the other dimensions, and it is composed of happiness, satisfaction and optimism. It is tied more closely to the “feeling” side of life. The two are independent of each other. A woman could be high in mastery and low in pleasure, and vice versa(反之亦然). For example, a woman who has a good job, but whose mother has just died, might be feeling very good about herself and in control of her work life, but the pleasure side could be damaged for a time.

The concepts of mastery and pleasure can help us identify the sources of well-being for women, and remedy past mistakes. In the past, women were encouraged to look only at the feeling side of life as the source of all well-being. But we know that both mastery and pleasure are critical. And mastery seems to be achieved largely through work. In our study, all the groups of employed women rated significantly higher in mastery than did women who were not employed.

A woman’s well-being is enhanced when she takes on multiple(多項的) roles. At least by middle adulthood, the women who were involved in a combination of roles-marriages, motherhood, and employment were the highest in well-being, despite warnings about stress and strain.

64．It can be inferred from the first paragraph that          .

       A．for women, a sense of “mastery” is more important than a sense of “pleasure”

       B．for women, a sense of “pleasure” is more important than s sense of “mastery”

       C．women can’t have a sense of “mastery” and sense of “pleasure” at the same time

       D．a(chǎn) sense of “mastery” and a sense of “pleasure” are both necessary to women

65．The author’s attitude towards women having a career is          .

       A．negative              B．positive               C．neutral (中立的)  D．realistic

66．One can conclude from the passage that if a woman takes on several social roles,         .

       A．it will be easier for her to overcome stress and strain

       B．she will be more successful in her career

       C．her chances of getting promoted will be greater

       D．her life will be richer and more meaningful

67．Which of the following can be considered as a source of “pleasure” for women?

       A．Family life                                           B．Multiple roles in society

       C．Regular employment                            D．Freedom from anxiety

    But I wonder about my Momma sometimes, and all the other Negro (blacks) mothers who got up at 6 a.m. to go to the white man’s house with sacks over their shoes because it was so wet and cold. I wonder how they made it. They worked very hard for the man, they made his breakfast and they scrubbed his floors and they took care of his babies. They didn't have too much time for us.

I wonder about my Momma, who walked out of a white woman's clean house at midnight and came back to her own where the lights had been out for three months, and the pipes were frozen and the wind came in through the holes in the wall. She's have to make deals with the rats: leave some food out for them so they wouldn't bite the doors or the babies. The roaches(蟑螂) Oh, hey were just like part of the family!

I wonder how she felt telling those white kids she took care of to brush their teeth after they ate, to wash their hands after they finish bathroom. She could never tell her own kids because there wasn't soap or water back home.

I wonder how my Momma felt when we came home from school with a list of vitamins and pills the school nurse said we had to have. Momma would cry all night, and them go out and spend most of the rent money for pills. A week later, the white man would come for his eighteen dollars' rent and Momma would beg him to wait until tomorrow. She had to lie to him that she had lost her wallet or the relief check was coming soon or the white people had some money for her. Tomorrow I'd be hiding in the closet because there was only supposed to be two kids in the flat, and I could hear the rent man shout at my Momma and call her a cheat. And when he finally went away, Momma put the sacks on her shoes and went off to the rich white man's house to dress the rich white kids so their mother could take them to a special baby doctor.

       D．White people have special baby doctors.

My grandfather grew up in war torn Europe. When German soldiers occupied his hometown, the thriving city of Tarow, Poland, he refused to obey them and eventually joined the Soviet army to fight for his country’s freedom. “Stand straight, stand tall,” he told himself.
