For decades developed countries have poured large quantities of dollars into developing countries through foreign aid. Some people think that aid from developed countries to developing countries is not having the desired effect. 1.. They argue that foreign aid makes developing countries lazy to develop for themselves. They also argue that a lot of these aids have conditions attached, which enables developed countries to reap (收获) from developing countries more than they sow. As a Hungarian economist once said, “Aid money is money taken from the poor in developed countries and given to the rich in developing countries.”
2.. In their opinion, even though foreign aid isn’t having the desired result, it is better than not providing aid at all. “Over half of the world’s population lives in less developed countries.”
Many of them are rather poor. “3.,” said one volunteer in Africa. They argue that most 5developing countries still need aid before they move away from dependency to self-reliance.
4.. However, it is also true that there are certain things which foreign aid can’t do. Experience has shown that foreign aid can’t solve every economic problem of a developing country. It can’t bring about instant progress. 5.. If we really want to help those less developed countries, we need to seriously consider the types of aid we are sending over there.
A.I do believe that no one should be doing nothing
B.Foreign aid may not produce large economic benefits
C.Many other people, however, are against the arguments above
D.Thus, foreign aid is of little importance in promoting development
E.It is true that aid plays an economically useful role in poor countries
F.A country’s economic development depends, eventually, upon its own people
G.In certain cases, foreign aid to developing countries is causing more harm than good
Intelligent people are more likely to trust others, while those who score lower on measures of intelligence are less likely to do so. Oxford university researchers based their findings on an analysis of the General Social Survey.
The authors say one explanation could be that more intelligent individuals are better at judging characters and may spend more time building relationships with people they can trust. Another reason could be that smarter people are better at weighing up situations and assessing whether or not the other person will keep his or her side of a bargain.
“Intelligence is shown to be linked with trusting others,”said the study’s lead author, Noah Carl of Oxford University. “This finding supports what other researchers have argued, namely that being a good judge of characters is a distinct part of human intelligence.”
In addition, the study shows that individuals who are more trusting are also happier with their lives and have higher levels of physical health. The Oxford researchers found, however, that the links between trust and health, and between trust and happiness, are not explained by intelligence. The findings confirmed that trust is a valuable resource for an individual, and is not simply a measure of intelligence.
The authors say the research is significant because the study of social trust could have far-reaching implications for public welfare, as social trust contributes to the success of important social institutions, such as welfare systems and financial markets.
According to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, trust is in increasingly short supply in the current generation. This decline threatens world leaders’ability to handle some of today’s key challenges like global warming, and the political systems. There are good reasons to think that governments should try to develop more trust in society.
“Distrust usually causes friction in personal relationships, careers and politics among people,” says Stephen Covey. Although the majority of people say that trust can never be restored once it’s broken, Stephen feels it can be brought back. “It’s not easy, and it takes time, but you do it through your behavior, not just things you say.”
1.It can be concluded from the analysis of the General Social Survey that ______.
A.intelligent individuals spend less time on interpersonal relationships
B.judgment of characters determines the level of intelligence
C.intelligence accounts for the connection between trust and health
D.intelligent people tend to show more trust in others
2.What does the underlined phrase in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.make the best of a situation.
B.stick to one’s promise as agreed.
C.figure out the true value of a bargain.
D.make an assessment of a deal
3.According to the research, higher level of social trust is _______.
A.a contributing factor to successful public institutions
B.a basic step to deal with global warming
C.a decisive basis for stable political systems
D.a complete solution to interpersonal conflicts
4.When it comes to rebuilding trust, Stephen is most likely to agree that _____.
A.behavior is a mirror in which everyone shows his image
B.actions always speak louder than words
C.behavior is largely determined by mind
D.action is the proper fruit of knowledge
One afternoon while preparing dinner in her kitchen, Anne Peters, a 32-year-old American housewife, suddenly had severe pains in her chest accompanied by shortness of breath. Frightened by the thought that she was having a heart attack, Anne screamed for help. Her husband immediately rushed Anne to a nearby hospital where her pains were diagnosed (诊断) as having been caused by panic, and not a heart attack.
More and more Americans nowadays are having panic attacks like the one experienced by Anne Peters. Studies discover that approximately 1.2 million adult individuals are currently suffering from severe and recurrent (重复发作) panic attacks.
There have been a lot of explanations as to the causes of panic attacks. Many claim that psychological stress could be a logical cause, but as yet, no evidence has been found to support this theory. Recent reports have shown there are at least three signs that indicate a person is suffering from a panic attack rather than a heart attack. The first is age. People between the ages of 20 and 30 are more often victims of panic attacks. The second is sex. More women suffer from recurrent panic attacks than men. The third is the variety of symptoms. A heart attack victim often experiences only pain and shortness of breath while a panic attack victim usually suffers more symptoms than the two mentioned.
It is generally agreed that a panic attack does not directly endanger a person’s life. All the same, it can negatively affect a person’s life by making him or her so afraid of having a panic attack in at a public place that he or she may refuse to leave home. Dr. Crocker’s advice to anyone who thinks he is suffering from a panic attack is to consult a doctor for a medical examination to rule out the possibilities of physical illness first. Once it has been confirmed that he or she is, in fact, suffering from a panic attack, the victim should turn to psychologists and doctors.
1.What happened to Anne?
A.Her heart failed. B.She hurt her chest.
C.She had a panic attack. D.Her breath stopped.
2.What can we learn from Paragraph 3?
A.Panic attacks go hand in hand with heart attacks.
B.Old people are more likely to have panic attacks.
C.Panic attacks involve a wider range of symptoms.
D.It is psychological stress that causes panic attacks.
3.What is Dr. Crocker’s advice to victims of panic attack?
A.To have a thorough medical check.
B.To rule out the possibilities of illness.
C.To examine the symptoms on their own.
D.To seek psychological and medical help.
