Yesterday I was shopping with my 5-year old daughter a group of punk rockers walked by with orange spiked hair and tattoos much of their bodies .

Actually , I was pretending to be an anthropologist . Anthropology（人类学）is a science which deals with man and his social habits . I think of anthropology here as “ being interested , without , in the way other people choose to live and . ” – When you are curious about the way someone behaves or the way they feel about something , it’s that you will be annoyed .
When someone acts in a way that seems to you , rather than react in your usual way , such as “ I can’t believe they would do that , ” say something to yourself like “ I see , that must be the way they things in their world . Very interesting . ” In order for this to help you , you have to be genuine as I tried that day . I my perspective from the bottom of my heart . And that made me .
When you are interested in other perspectives , it doesn’t mean you’re them . I certainly wouldn’t choose a punk rock lifestyle or it to anyone else . At the same time , however , it’s really not my to judge it either .

How to describe the rising philosophy of the day ? I’d say it is data-ism . We now have the ability to gather huge amounts of data . This ability seems to carry with it certain cultural assumptions—that everything that can be measured should be measured ; that data is a transparent and reliable lens that allows us to filter out emotionalism and ideology ; that data will help us do remarkable things—like foretell the future . At the outset let me celebrate two things data does really well .
First , it’s really good at exposing when our intuitive（直觉的）view of reality is wrong . For example , nearly every person who runs for political office has an intuitive sense that they can powerfully influence their odds of winning the election if they can just raise and spend more money . But this is largely wrong .
After the 2006 election , Sean Trende constructed a graph comparing the incumbent（在任的）campaign spending advantages with their eventual victory . There was barely any relationship between more spending and a bigger victory .
Likewise , many teachers have an intuitive sense that different students have different learning styles : some are verbal and some are visual , some focus on details and some on whole . Teachers imagine they will improve outcomes if they tailor their presentations to each student . But there’s no evidence to support this either .
Second , data can clarify patterns of behavior we haven’t yet noticed . For example , I’ve always assumed people who frequently use words like “ I , ” “ me , ” and “ mine ” are probably more self-centered than people who don’t . But as James Pennebaker of the University of Texas notes in his book , The Secret Life of Pronouns , when people are feeling confident , they are focused on the task at hand , not on themselves . High-status , confident people use fewer “ I ” words , not more .
In sum , the data revolution is giving us wonderful ways to understand the present and the past . Will it transform our ability to predict and make decisions about the future ? We’ll see .
1. What do people running for political office think they can do ?
A. Use data analysis to predict the election result .
B. Win the election if they can raise enough funds .
C. Manipulate public opinion with favorable data .
D. Increase the chances of winning by foul means .
2.Why do many teachers favor the idea of tailoring their presentations to different students ?
A. They think students prefer flexible teaching methods .
B. They will be able to try different approaches .
C. They believe students learning styles vary .
D. They can accommodate students with special needs .
3.What does James Pennebaker reveal in The Secret Life of Pronouns ?
A. The importance of using pronouns properly .
B. Repeated use of first-person pronouns by self-centered people .
C. Frequent use of pronouns and future tense by young people .
D. A pattern in confident people’s use of pronouns .
4.Why is the author skeptical of the data revolution ?
A. Data may not be easily accessible .
B. Errors may occur with large data samples .
C. Data cannot always do what we imagine it can .
D. Some data may turn out to be outdated .
It’s the worst event in human being’s nautical（航海的）history , six times more deadly than the Titanic . When the German cruise ship Wilhelm Gustloff was hit by torpedoes（鱼雷）fired from a Russian submarine in the final winter of World War II , more than 10,000 people – mostly women , children and old people fleeing the final Red Army push into Nazi Germany – were packed aboard .
An ice storm had turned the decks into frozen sheets that sent hundreds of families sliding into the sea as the ship tilted and began to go down . Others desperately tried to put lifeboats down . Some who succeeded fought off those in the water who had the strength to try to claw their way aboard . Most people froze immediately . “ I’ll never forget the screams , ” says Christa Ntitzmann , 87 , one of the 1,200 survivors . She recalls watching the ship , brightly lit , slipping into its dark grave-and into seeming nothingness , rarely mentioned for more than half a century .
Now Germany’s Nobel Prize-winning author Gtinter Grass has revived the memory of the 9,000 dead , including more than 4,000 children-with his latest novel Crab Walk , published last month . The book ,which will be out in English next year , doesn’t dwell on the sinking : its heroine is a pregnant young woman who survives the catastrophe only to say later : “ Nobody wanted to hear about it , not here in the West ( of Germany ) and not at all in the East . ”
The reason was obvious . As Grass put in a recent interview with the weekly Die Woche : “ Because the crimes we Germans are responsible for were and are so dominant , we didn’t have the energy left to tell of our own sufferings . ” The long silence about the sinking of the Wilhelm Gustloff was probably unavoidable – and necessary .
By unreservedly owning up to their country’s monstrous crimes in the Second World War , Germans have managed to win acceptance abroad , marginalize the neo-Nazis at home and make peace with their neighbors .
Today’s unified Germany is more prosperous and stable than at any time in its long , troubled history . For that , a half century of willful forgetting about painful memories like the German Titanic was perhaps a reasonable price to pay . But even the most politically correct Germans believe that they’ve now earned the right to discuss the full historical record . Not to equate German suffering with that of its victims , but simply to acknowledge a terrible tragedy .
1.Why does the author say the sinking of the Wilhelm Gustloff was the worst event in nautical history ?
A. It was attacked by Russian torpedoes .
B. Most of its passengers were frozen to death .
C. Its victims were mostly women and children .
D. It caused the largest number of casualties .
2. How does Gunter Grass revive the memory of the Wilhelm Gustloff tragedy ?
A. By presenting the horrible scene of the torpedo attack .
B. By describing the ship’s sinking in great detail .
C. By giving an interview to the weekly Die Woche .
D. By illustrating the survival of a young pregnant woman .
3.What’s the meaning of the underlined word “ marginalize ”
A. highlight B. weaken
C. strengthen D. fasten
4.It can be learned from the passage that Germans no longer think that
A. they will be misunderstood if they talk about the Wilhelm Gustloff tragedy
B. the Wilhelm Gustloff tragedy is a reasonable price to pay for the nation’s past misdeeds
C. Germany is responsible for the horrible crimes it committed in World War II
D. it is wrong to equate their sufferings with those of other countries
