After months of speculation about what would
do with its mysterious search-engine company, A9, Web surfers finally got their first taste on Apr. 14.
Yet despite of some intriguing new features not yet found on leading sites such as Google and Yahoo! , the site
-- still in test mode -- rises as many questions 2_______________ as it answers. The biggest question remains is whether Amazon, through A9, would clash into Google more directly.
Google itself is testing a search engine for products called Froogle that's starting to appeal Web shoppers. At the same time, Amazon clearly isn't looking to limit A9's horizons. How directly A9 eventually goes up against the reigned 6. _______________ search champion, it faced lots of challenges. For one,
it may run into some of the same privacy issues that recently have plagued Google. A9's privacy policy points out that information provided through entering search term
or by signing into one's Amazon account could supply the company with information that could personally identify the searcher.
Those may be somewhat less intrusive(打扰的,冒犯的) than Google's upcoming Gmail free e-mail offering, which could search
the contents of messages to pitch personalized ads. But comments posted on some sites already indicate some people are uncomfortable with Google's potential threats privacy. 六
The European Union had approved a number of genetically modified crops until late 1998.

As more studies have been completed on the effects
of GM crops, the greens’ case for them has weakened.
Much evidence has emerged of health risks from eating _______________
them. And, overall, the studies have shown that the
environmental effects on modified crops are not always as serious as the greens claim. Nevertheless, environmentalists
continue to find fault of such studies and argue that they are inconclusive.
While Americans seem happy enough to consume food made from GM crops, opinion polls continue to show that European
consumers dislike the idea. Europeans seem be taking the attitude _______________

Many Americans mindlessly oppose hunting. They do so even in
cases where animal populations are dangerous high. In
some areas of Alaska, wolves have become so rare that they 2________________
are running out of hunting ground and prey heavily on moose, deer, and occasionally dogs.

parts of California threat to starve themselves out. Seaotter 8_______________ colonies, booming in the Pacific coast, are fast running 9________________ out of food, too, as good as putting commercial fisher- 10____________ men out of business. 八
Many describe Freud as the most influential psychologist of all time. Yet not everyone recognize the profound effect of psychoanalytic theory in the way most of us look at human
behavior, regardless of any formal exposure to Freud’s works. For example, most adults in Western society accept the idea that behavior can be influenced by an unconscious part of the mind.
We say things like “I must have done that consciously” or “Even though I didn’t realize it consciously, maybe unconsciously I did.” Although Freud was not the first to talk about the unconscious, no one ago, or probably since, has placed
so many emphasis upon unconscious processes in explaining human behavior.
Do you believe that dreams hold important psychological information, revealing inner fears and desires? If so, you are backing on an idea that Freud popularized. As people had been interpreting dreams for thousands of
years, Freud was the first to incorporate dream interpretation
into a larger psychological theory. When we talk about our dreams and try to figure it out, we are informally following a therapeutic procedure outlining by Freud at the turn of the century.
Numerous examples of Freudian thought can be found in our
daily language, as well as in modern literature and in motion pictures. Thus, an understanding of Freudian psychology
is part of a good liberal arts education; it can aid the observant student to appreciating subtle and not-so-subtle references 九
Learning does not happen passively. It is an activity which a person does. It is a task which can be attempted in various of ways, some of which are
more appropriate than others. When the material to be learned is
a brief and simple kind which is familiar with the person and of intense
interest to him, effective learning usually proceeds automatically. In the first place, the person at once relates the material to other
material which has already securely learned. Subsequently, the relevance
of the newly learned material to his interests assures its being recalled on many occasions; and one repetition minimizes
the likelihood of remembering. Furthermore, the subsequent use
of the new material is likely to take place in a variety of contexts
and, so, the material becomes related to a narrower range of other material.
Because of all this, the material is rapidly learned, long retained, and recalled with increasingly readiness in a variety of
contexts. Without really trying, the person had fulfilled a few important conditions of effective learning.
