    The possibility that pleasant smells might reduce pain has recently been suggested by new research. In a scientific study, doctors asked 20 men and 20 women to keep their hands in very hot water for as long as possible while breathing in different smells.
    As people believe that strong smells can affect the senses, volunteers were asked not to eat or drink for eight hours before the experiment began. During the experiment, volunteers were asked to take in pleasant smells such as vanilla (香草), and unpleasant smells such as durians (榴莲). The volunteers kept their hands in the water until it became too hot for them. When they could not bear the pain any more, they took their hands out of the water.
    Scientists are interested in whether the senses or smell is related to pain and whether men and women have the same senses. Now, the study has proved that for women, pleasant smells reduce pain. For men, there is no change.
    Dr Finkelstein has been studying smells since 1999. He says that scientists already have data from 40 volunteers. He adds that this year, scientists will test another 60 volunteers and will be in a better position to explain the results.
    One explanation is that women’s sense of smell developed long ago, and is linked to recognizing the smell of babies. Scientists used to believe that mothers recognized their children by sight only. Now, they have started to believe that the sense of smell also helps, but why pleasant smells do not reduce pain in men is a question still to be answered by scientists.
    【小题1】Before the experiment, volunteers ______.

    A．are gathered and take a training
    B．cannot eat or drink for several hours
    C．must wash their hands carefully
    D．will be interviewed by Dr Finkelstein
    【小题2】If both men and women are asked to keep their hands in hot water while taking in some pleasant smells, ______.
    A．women may stand the pain of the hot water longer
    B．men may keep their hands in the hot water longer
    C．they will probably take their hands out at the same time
    D．we are not quite sure who will take their hands out earlier
    【小题3】From the passage we learn that _________.
    A．the reason why women are sensitive to smells is clear
    B．the experiment for the sense of smell has come to an end
    C．unpleasant smells affect men’s senses more than women’s
    D．scientists have not totally explained the result of the study
    【小题4】Now scientists believe that _______.
    A．mothers recognize their children only by sight
    B．men’s sense of smell developed a long time ago
    C．strong smells have a great influence on people’s senses
    D．smells are helpful for mothers to spot their children
    【小题5】The writer wrote the passage in order to ________.
    A．supply some entertainment to us
    B．show women’s sharper senses than men’s
    C．inform the readers of some knowledge
    D．call for volunteers for the experiment

    There is much discussion today about whether economic growth is desirable. At an earlier period, our desire for material wealth may have been justified. Now, however, this desire for more than we need is causing serous problems. Even though we have good intentions, we may be producing too much, too fast.
    Those who criticize economic growth argue that we must slow down. They believe that society is approaching certain limits on growth. These include the fixed supply of natural resources, the possible negative effects of industry on the natural environment, and the continuing increase in the world’s population. As society reaches these limits, economic growth can no longer continue, and the quality of life will decrease.
    People who want more economic growth, on the other hand, argue that even at the present growth rate there are still many poor people in the world. They believe that only more growth can create the capital needed to improve the quality of life in the world. Furthermore, they argue that only continued growth can provide the financial resources required to protect our natural surroundings from industrialization.
    This debate over the desirability of continued economic growth is of vital importance to business and industry. If those who argue against economic growth are correct, the problems they mention cannot be ignored. To find a solution, economists and the business community must pay attention to these problems and continue discussing them with one another.
    60. According to those who argue against economic growth we must slow down for the following reasons EXCEPT that___________.
    A. our natural surroundings are in danger of being destroyed by industry
    B. the fixed supply of natural resources marks a point beyond which economic growth cannot continue
    C. the world population is ever increasing
    D. more efforts should be made to improve the quality of our material life
    61. Those who want more economic growth believe that continued economic growth ________.
    A. is essential to the well-being of society as a whole
    B. can provide the solution to many of our social problems today
    C. can protect our environment from being polluted by industry
    D. can provide us with more natural resources for industrialization
    62. The passage is mainly about___________.
    A. the contradiction between economists and the business community
    B. the present debate on economic growth
    C. the advantages and disadvantages of economic growth
    D. the importance of the debate on economic growth
    63. We may infer from the passage that ___________.
    A. the author describes the case as it is
    B. the author is for economic growth
    C. the author is against continued economic growth
    D. the author is very much worried about the problems caused by continued economic growth
