21、   That easterners and westerners think in different ways is not mere prejudice. Many psychological studies conducted over the past two decades suggest Westerners have a more individualistic, analytic and abstract mental life than do East Asians. Several hypotheses (假设) have been put forward to explain this.

One, that modernization promotes individualism, falls at the first hurdle: Japan, an ultra-modem country whose people have retained a collective outlook. A second, that a higher rate of infectious disease in a place makes contact with strangers more dangerous, and causes groups to turn inward, is hardly better. Europe has had its share of plagues; probably more than either Japan or Korea.

That led Thomas Talheim of the University of Virginia and his colleagues to look into a third suggestion: that the crucial difference is agricultural. The basic West crop is wheat; the East's rice. Before the mechanization of agriculture a farmer who grew rice had to spend twice as many hours doing so as one who grew wheat. To organize labour efficiently, especially at times of planting and harvesting, rice-growing societies as far apart as India, Malaysia and Japan all develop co-operative labour exchanges which let neighbors stagger their farms' schedules in order to assist each other during these crucial periods. Since, until recently almost everyone alive was a farmer, it is a reasonable hypothesis that such a collective outlook would dominate a society's culture and behaviour, and might prove so deep-rooted that even now, when most people earn their living in other ways, it helps to define their lives.

Mr. Talheim realized that this idea is testable. Large areas of Asia, particularly in the north, depend not on rice, but on wheat. That, as he explains in a paper in Science, let him and his team put some flesh on this theory's bones. The team gathered almost 1,200 volunteers from all over Asia and asked them questions to assess their individualism or collectivism. The answers bore little relation to the wealth of a volunteer's place of origin. There was a striking correlation, though, with whether it was a rice-growing or a wheat-growing area. This difference was marked even between people from neighbouring counties with different agricultural traditions.

Undoubtedly, Talheim's hypothesis has pointed to a direction worth further exploration. Viewing the message from modernized countries such as Japan, Korea and Singapore, which still hold on to collectivism, perhaps we can say: Asian values-with their principles of mutual support and collective action-are only "Asian" because back in ancient times, farmers in many parts of that continent found rice a more suitable crop to grow than wheat.

【1】According to the second paragraph, which statement does the author most probably agree with?

A.The first hypothesis fails to justify Japan's ever-keeping collectivism as well as the second.

B.The exposure to plague outbreaks increases the probability of the Europeans to turn back to individualism.

C.Modernized Japan stays close to collectivism as firmly as Europe maintains individualism in the times of plague.

D.Neither modernization, as with Europe, nor the once prevailing plague, as with Japan, gives any evidence that promotes individualism.

【2】What does the underlined word “stagger” probably mean?

A.arrange events so that they do not happen at the same time

B.help something to develop more strongly because it's about to collapse

C.plan or organize something in advance to make it neat or attractive

D.offer something to somebody and receive something in return

【3】Mr. Talheim studied the Asian volunteers growing wheat in order to find out   .

A.whether growing wheat results in more sharing behavior.

B.whether growing wheat leads to more prosperous community.

C.whether the local crop affects the local economy positively.

D.whether the local crop is related to local people's mental life.

【4】Which of the following can serve as the best title for this passage?

A.A good beginning makes a good ending.

B.The grass is greener on the other side.

C.As you sow, so you will reap.

D.You are what you eat.

23、   Can creativity be taught? That’s a question without a simple yes or no answer. Creativity may not be able to be taught directly, but what you can get better at is frequently targeting at the circumstances of life which bring up the greatest chances for true creative expression. 【1】, but more like something which manifests （显现） itself inside those who learn to develop it and create the right conditions for it.

Limit your selection of tools to only the most vital. 【2】. You’ll be sharper than someone who merely fights with a larger set of tools.
