16、eriments with electronic instruments. First, a human“guinea pig”is tested using a regular tool. Measurements are taken of the amount of work done, and the buildup of heat in thebody. Twisted joints and stretched muscles can not perform as well, it has been found, as joints and muscles in their norma
17、lpositions. The same person is then tested again, using a tool designed according to the suggestions made by Dr. Tichauer.All these tests have shown the great improvement of the new designs over the old.One of the electronic instruments used by Dr. Tichauer, the myograph（肌动记器）, makes visible through
18、 electrical signalsthe work done by human muscle.Another machine measures any dangerous features of tools, thus proving information upon which to base a new design. Oneconclusion of tests made with this machine is that a tripod stepladder is more stable and safer to use than one with four legs.This
19、work has attracted the attention of efficiency experts and time-and-motion-study engineer, but its value goes far beyondthat. Dr. Tichauers first thought is for the health of the tool user. With the repeated use of the same tool all day long onproduction lines and in other jobs, even light manual wo
20、rk can put a heavy stress on one small area of the body. In time, suchstress can cause a disabling disease. Furthermore, muscle fatigue is a serious safety hazard.Efficiency is the by-product of comfort, Dr. Tichauer believes, and his new designs for traditional tools have proved his point.21. What

25、olled by information thatexists only inside computer memories. Anyone clever enough to modify this information for his own purposes can reap bigreward. Even worse, a number of people who have done this and been caught at it have managed to get away withoutpunishment.Its easy for computer crimes to g
26、o undetected if no one checks up on what the computer is doing. But even if the crime isdetected, the criminal may walk away not only unpunished but with a glowing recommendation from his former employers.Of course, we have no statistics on crimes that go undetected. But its disturbing to note how m
27、any of the crimes we do knowabout were detected by accident, not by systematic inspections or other security procedures. The computer criminals whohave been caught may have been the victims of uncommonly bad luck.Unlike other lawbreakers, who must leave the country, commit suicide, or go to jail, co
28、mputer criminals sometimes escapepunishment, demanding not only that they not be charged but that they be given good recommendations and perhaps otherbenefits. All too often, their demands have been met.Why? Because company executives are afraid of the bad publicity that would result if the public f
29、ound out that their computerhad been misused. They hesitate at the thought of a criminal boasting in open court of how he juggled (诈骗) the mostconfidential （保密）records right under the noses of the companys executives, accountants, and security staff. And soanother computer criminal departs with just
30、 the recommendations he needs to continue his crimes elsewhere. 26.

35、iminals mange to get good recommendations from their former employersD) why computer crimes cant be eliminatedQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.In a family where the roles of men and women are not sharply separated and where many household tasks are shared to agreater or lesser e
36、xtent, notions of male superiority are hard to maintain. The pattern of sharing in tasks and indecisionmakes for equality and this in turn leads to further sharing. In such a home, the growing boy and girl learn to accept equalitymore easily than did their parents and to prepare more fully for parti
37、cipation in a world characterized by cooperation ratherthan by the “battle of the sexes”.If the process goes too far and mans role is regarded as less important and that has happened in some cases we are asbadly off as before, only in reverse.It is time to reassess the role of the man in the America
38、n family. We are getting a little tired of “Momism” but we dont want toexchange it for a “neo-Popism”. What we need, rather, is the recognition that bringing up children involves a partnership ofequals. There are signs that psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, and specialists on the family
39、are becoming moreaware of the part men play and that they have decided that women should not receive all the credit nor the blame. We havealmost given up saying that a womans place is in the home. We are beginning, however, to analyse mans place in thehome and to insist that he does have a place in
40、it. Nor is that place irrelevant to the healthy development of the child.The family is a co-operative enterprise for which it is difficult to lay down rules, because each family needs to work out its own ways for solving its own problems.Excessive authoritarianism（命令主义）has unhappy consequences, whet

46、ching children to read well from the start is the most important task of elementary schools. But relying on educators toapproach this task correctly can be a great mistake. Many schools continue to employ instructional methods that have beenproven ineffective. The staying power of the “look-say” or
47、“whole-word” method of teaching beginning reading is perhaps themost flagrant example of this failure to instruct effectively.The whole-word approach to reading stresses the meaning of words over the meaning of letters, thinking over decoding,developing a sight vocabulary of familiar words over developing the ability to unlock the pronunciation of unfamiliar words. Itfits in with the self-directed, “learning how to learn”activities recommended by advocates（倡导者）of “open”classrooms andwith the co
