6．Biologists believe that love is fundamentally a biological rather than a cultural construct，because the capacity for love is found in all human cultures and similar behavior is found in some other animals．In humans the purpose of all the desire is to focus attention on the raising of offspring．Children demand an unusual amount of parenting，and two parents are better than one．Love is a signal that both partners are committed，and makes it more likely that this commitment will continue as long as necessary for children to reach independence．But what does science have to say about the notion of love at first sight？
In recent years the ability to watch the brain in action has offered a wealth of insight into the mechanics of love．Researchers have shown that when a person falls in love，a dozen different part of brain work together to release chemicals that trigger feelings of euphoria，bonding and excitement．It has also been shown that the unconditional love between a mother and a child is associated with activity in different regions of the brain from those associated with pair-bonding love．
Passionate love is rooted in the reward circuitry of the brain-the same area that is active when humans feel a rush from cocaine．In fact，the desire，motivations and withdrawals involved in love have a great deal in common with addiction．Its most intense forms tend to be associated with the early stages of a relationship，which then give way to a calmer attachment form of love one feels with a long term partner．
What all this means is that one special person can become chemically rewarding to the brain of another．Love at first sight，then，is only possible if the mechanism for generating long-term attachment can be triggered quickly．There are signs that it can be．One line of evidence is that people are able to decide within a second how attractive they find another person．This decision appears to be related to facial attractiveness，although men may favor women with waist-to-hip ratio of 0.7，no matter what their overall weight is．（This ratio may indicate a woman's reproductive health．）
Another piece of evidence comes from work by a psychologist at Ben-Gurion University，who found in a survey that a small percentage （11%） of people in long-term relationships said that they began with love at first sight．In other words，in some couples the initial favorable impressions of attractiveness triggered love which sustained a lengthy bond．It is also clear that some couples need to form their bonds over a longer period，and popular culture tells many tales of friends who become lovers．
One might also assume that if a person is looking for a partner with traits that cannot be quantified instantly，such as compassion，intellect or a good sense of humor，then it would be hard to form a relationship on the basis of love at first sight．Those more concerned with visual appearances，though，might find this easier．So it appears that love at first sight exists，but is not a very common basis for long-term relationships．
62．When a person falls in love，C．
A．he feels as if he were addicted to cocaine．
B．he will be committed to the beloved as long as necessary．
C．he will experience complex feelings brought on by different regions of his brain．
D．he will experience a calmer attachment form of love before he feels the extreme love．
63．We can infer from the passage thatD．
A．pair-bonding love comes from a long stable friendship．
B．the mechanism for creating long-term attachment ensures love at first sight
C．it is impossible for those ordinary-looking people to fall in love at first sight．
D．men may be attracted by a girl whose figure suggests her admirable reproductive capacity．
64．The underlined word"traits"in the last paragraph probably meansC．
A．characteristics
B．something typical in your temper
C．particular quantities in your personality
D．a(chǎn)ttitudes that show your moral standards
65．Which of the following may be the best title of the passage？B
A．The stages of passionate love
B．The science of love at first sight
C．The biological construct of pair-bonding
D．The mechanism for generating long-term love．

13．When did you last visit a shopping mall？In many places，the answer would be"last weekend．"Some people go even more often．Why？Shopping malls offer goods and services all in one place：food，clothing，things for their houses，entertainment，even medical services．So，are they one of the highlights of modern civilization？Environmental activists would say no and would go even further，arguing that consumer behavior is causing a huge environmental disaster．They cause consumers'ignorance of the side effect of their shopping----urban sprawl （蔓延）．
Social scientists agree that patterns of development have changed the landscape a lot．Before 1950，most people lived in towns or cities and either walked to work or took public transportation．Only very wealthy people had automobiles．Farmers lived in rural areas or far-away villages and came into town only when they needed things they couldn't produce themselves．If you stared at the landscape you would see towns surrounded by the countryside．
Now automobiles become affordable and people are quick to make use of them．Ambitious workers could live in suburbs，just outside cities，which have started to grow rapidly．As long as there is lots of cheap land there，no one pays much attention to the usage of that land．Malls，fast food restaurants，cinemas，and such spread out in large，flat buildings．These one-storey buildings and their parking lots take up too much space．Many farmers think they are better off selling their land than growing crops．No one has realized once the land is built up in urban sprawl，the good farming land will be ruined forever．There is no way to preserve it．
Only in recent years have people come to miss the old way of life as they have looked into the problems of unconditional growth．Now people realize that urban sprawl has come with serious environmental problems．The bad effects that sprawl brings about include air and water pollution，loss of agricultural land，traffic jams，and so on．Many scholars think it's time to analyze the problems better so we can develop proper policies to control further sprawl．Some think the best way to do is to educate citizens．
（Note：Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS）

78．What does the underlined word"They"refer to in the first paragraph？Shopping malls
79．In the past，farmers in the countryside only went to towns or cities tobuy things they couldn't produce themselves．
80．Besides the mobility made possible by automobiles，what other two factors have led to the unconditional growth？．Cheap land/Wrong （Wasteful） land usage and farmers'selling their （farming） land
81．Now people come to realize the importance of protecting environment and dealing with the serious problem brought about by（further） urban sprawl．

3．When I was growing up，I was embarrassed to be seen with my father．He was severely lame and very short，and when we would walk together，his hand on my arm for balance，people would stare．I would feel ashamed at the unwanted attention．If he ever noticed or was bothered，he never let on，nor did he say anything about it．
It was difficult to coordinate（協(xié)調(diào)） our steps-his pausing，my impatience-and because of that，we didn't say much as we went along．But as we started out，he always said，"You set the pace，I will try to adjust to you．"
Our usual walk was to or from the subway，which was how he got to work．He went to work sick，and despite bad weather．He almost never missed a day，and would make it to the office even if others could not．A matter of pride．
When snow or ice was on the ground，it was impossible for him to walk，even with help．At such times my sisters or I would pull him through the streets of Brooklyn，NY，on a child's sleigh to the subway entrance．Once there，he would grasp the handrail until he reached the lower steps that the warmer tunnel air kept ice-free．In Manhattan the subway station was the basement of his office building，and he would not have to go outside until we met him in Brooklyn on his way home．
When I think of it now，I wondered at how much courage it must have taken for a grown man to subject himself to such indignity and stress．And at how he did it-without bitterness or complaint．
He never talked about himself as an object of pity，nor did he show any envy of the more fortunate or able．What he looked for in others was a"good heart"，and if he found one，the owner was good enough for him．
Now that I am older，I believe that is a proper standard by which to judge people，even though I still don't know precisely what a"good heart"is．But I know the times I don't have one myself．
My father has been gone many years now，but I think of him often．I wonder if he sensed my unwillingness to be seen with him during our walks．If he did，I am sorry I never told him how sorry I was，how unworthy I was，how I regretted it．I think of him when I complain about incident，when I am envious of another's good fortune，when I don't have a"good heart"．
At such times I put my hand on his arm to regain my balance，and say，"You set the pace，I will try to adjust to you．"

56．What wouldn't the author like others to see？（No more than 10words）His father was crippled，short and couldn't keep balance．
57．What's the meaning of the underlined phrase"let on"in the first paragraph？（No more than 5words）Showed his feelings/Told others his feelings．
58．According to the third paragraph，what conclusion can you get about the father's attitude toward his work？（No more than 8words）He loved his work/He took his work seriously．/Hewas strict in his work．
59．Find an example in the passage that shows the father was a man with a"good heart"．（No more than10words）He subjected himself to indignity and stress．/He never talked about himself as an object of pity/He didn't show any envy of the more fortunate or able．
60．What does the author learn from his father？（No more than 15words）To be a man with a good heart．
