31、A.emotional B.indifferent C.puzzled D.hopeful Passage 2 We have seen that the pesticides now contaminate soil,water and food,that they have the power to make our streams fishless and our gardens and woodlands silent and birdless.Man,however much he may like to pretend the contrary,is part of nature.
32、Can he escape a pollution that is now so thoroughly distributed throughout our world?We know that even single exposures to these chemicals,if the amount is large enough,can cause acute poisoning.But this is not the major problem.The sudden illness or death of farmers,spraymen,pilots,and others expos
33、ed to large quantities of pesticides is tragic and should not occur.For the population as a whole,we must be more concerned with the delayed effects of absorbing small amounts of the pesticides that invisibly contaminate our world.“Men are naturally most impressed by diseases which have obvious mani
34、festations,”says a wise physician,Dr Rene Dubos,“Yet some of their worst enemies creep on them unobtrusively.”For each of us,as for the robin in Michigan or the salmon in the Miramichi,this is a problem of ecology,of interrelationships,of interdependence.We poison the caddis flies in a stream and th

36、 the poison traveled,step by step,through the now familiar elm leaf-earthworm-robin cycle.These are matters of record observable,part of the visible world around us.They reflect the web of life or death that scientists know as ecology.A British experimenter who applied DDT in acetone solution to his
37、 skin reported heaviness and aching of limbs,muscular weakness,and“spasms of extreme nervous tension”.He then spent three weeks in bed,made miserable by constant aching in limbs,insomnia,nervous tension,and feelings of acute anxiety.On occasion tremors shook his body.There is some evidence that wome
38、n are more susceptible to the pesticides than men,the very young more than adults,those who lead sedentary,indoor lives more than those leading a rugged life of work or exercise in the open.Damage to the nervous system is not confined to acute poisoning;there may also be delayed effects from exposur
39、e.Longlasting damage to brain or nerves has been reported for methoxychlor and others.It was perhaps inevitable that these insecticides would eventually be linked with mental disease.That link has been supplied by investigators at the university of Melbourne and Prince Henrys Hospital in Melbourne,w

45、actions among seven or eight major civilizations.These include Western,Confucian,Japanese,Islamic,Hindu,Slavic-Orthodox,Latin American,and possibly African civilization.The most important conflicts of the future will occur along the cultural fault lines separating these civilizations from one anothe
46、r.Why will this be the case?First,differences among civilizations are not only real;they are basic.Civilizations are differentiated from each other by history,language,culture,tradition and,most important,religion.The people of different civilizations have different views on the relations between Go
47、d and man,the individual and the group,the citizen and the state,parents and children,husband and wife,as well as differing views of the relative importance of rights and responsibilities,liberty and authority,equality and hierarchy.These differences are the product of centuries.They will not soon d
48、isappear.They are far more fundamental than differences among political ideologies and political regimes.Differences do not necessarily mean conflict,and conflict does not necessarily mean violence.Over the centuries,however,differences among civilizations have generated the most prolonged and the m
49、ost violent conflicts.Second,the world is becoming a smaller place.The interactions between peoples of different civilizations are increasing;these increasing interactions intensify civilization consciousness and awareness of differences between civilizations and commonalities within civilizations.E
50、nhanced civilization-consciousness of people,in turn,invigorates differences and hates stretching or thought to stretch back deep into history.Third,the processes of economic modernization and social change throughout the world are separating people from longstanding local identities.They also weake
