Have you ever seen a moon that looks unbelievably big？ It hangs over the horizon like

a huge？ pale hot-air balloon. Many people think of the bright full moon of autumn or the harvest moon that way—like a huge？ pale hot-air balloon. But can you always trust your eyes？

The harvest moon is the full moon on a day nearest the first day of autumn. Full or nearly full, it rises early in the evening for several nights in a row. It brings farmers well-lit evenings to harvest their crops.

The harvest moon can look huge. But does it really fill more of the sky than an ordinary full moon？

Why does the moon look bigger when it is near the horizon？ Our brains compare the size of the moon with the size of the objects we see on the horizon. We know that the distant mountains？ homes？ or skyscrapers are really very large. And？ since the moon is much farther away than is the distant landscape？ we “see the moon as being larger than it would otherwise look.”

Most of us grow up taking certain things for granted. We tend to assume that experts and r

eligious leaders tell us" the truth". We tend to believe that things advertised on television or in newspapers can't be bad for us.

However, encouragement of critical thinking in students is one of the goals of most colleges and universities. Few professors require students to share the professors' own beliefs. In general, professors are more concerned that students learn to question and critically examine the arguments of others, including some of their own beliefs or values. This does not mean that professors insist that you change your beliefs, either. It does mean , however, that professors will usually ask you to support the views you express in class or in your writing.

If your premises (前提) are shaky, or if your arguments are not logical, professors personally point out the false reasoning in your arguments. Most professors want you to learn to recognize the premises of your arguments, to examine whether you really accept these premises, and to understand whether or not you draw logical conclusions. Put it this way. Professors don't tell you what to think; they try to teach you how to think.

On the other hand, if you intend to disagree with your professors in class, you should be prepared to offer a strong argument in support of your ideas. Arguing just for the sake of arguing usually does not promote a critical examination of ideas. Many professors interpret it as rudeness.

In the first paragraph, the writer tries to tell us that people______.

A．easily accept certain things without a second thought

B．grow up through learning certain things in life

C．are forming their views during their growth

D．have strong beliefs in authorities while getting old

听力原文： Ask the average American,"What is freedom？"You will probably hear,"It's being able to do what I want to do." When Americans think of freedom, they often think of individualism.They see themselves more as individuals than as members of a family or social group.

In American culture.freedom means equality.The Declaration of Independence states that"all men are created equal."That does not mean equal in abilities or status.For Americans,equality refers to equal worth and equal opportunity. Every individual should have an equal chance to improve his life.True,America has not always lived up to that ideal.For many years,Native Americans,African Americans and immigrants have protested their unequal treatment. But American culture still teaches that people can work hard and fulfill their dreams.Whether this idea is true or not,people hear rags-to-riches stories often enough to confirm it in the minds of many people.

Freedom arouses strong feelings for Americans.The idea of liberty binds people together in this"land of the free." However,problems still exist.One individual's freedom can conflict with the rights of others. Someone once said,"You have the freedom to swing your fist around if you want.But your freedom ends where my nose begins."People can also become too concerned about their own rights.They might demand special treatment.However,the path to freedom is not completely smooth.Even so,for Americans,no other road is really worth traveling.

What do Americans often think of when thinking of freedom？

A．Collectivism.

B．Equality.

C．Social group.

D．Individualism.

第11题

Are you really in love？ How do you know the difference between love and infatuation？ This

is often difficult to determine, for there are no set rides surrounding the definitions of love or infatuation. Roman tie love is very much a part of the American way of life and many expect that some day "it" is going to hit them and they will know they are in love.

What are some of the differences between love and infatuation？

1. Genuine love is more likely to involve a process of "growing" in love rather than "falling" in love. This may sound terribly unromantic to some who are used to hearing talk about "falling in love" or being "head over heels in love." This "falling" is often infatuation, and the sheer emotion of "falling" in love often blinds a person to the imperfections of the loved one. We tend to think of the loved one as "perfect", "ideal", or some other divine image. Real love sees the total person—both the "perfection" and the imperfection. Infatuation, then, is a sudden, emotional sense that one has discovered the "perfect" lover. On the other hand, love realizes imperfections and grows with he acceptance of those imperfections.

2. Love leads a person to a feeling of security and trust in the loved lone. It usually involves a feeling of mutual benefit arising from the new relationship. "We are able to solve our problems together" is the feeling of love, rather than "Please love me because I need you."

3. Infatuation often entails feelings of insecurity whenever the "lovers" are separated; feelings of doubt, fickleness, uncertainty, and fear of loss often accompany infatuation. "What will I do if I lose him？" and "I wonder of she really means it when she says she loves me？" express the feelings of infatuation. In such a setting a lasting love does not have a chance to develop.

4.Infatuation tends to be more manipulative than love because a lasting feeling of relationship probably has not developed, so that the individuals are still concerned mainly about their own needs and satisfactions. Conversely, in love, the feeling of relationship is genuine and sincere so that concern for the other person evolves naturally.

5. Physical attraction is an important part of both infatuation and love, but the superficial attraction is less important in love, for the couple experiencing love usually will build their relationship on a broader base than mere physical attraction.
