In studying both the recurrence of special habits or ideas in several districts, and their prevalence within each district, there come before us ever—reiterated proofs of regular causation producing the phenomena of human life, and of laws of maintenance and diffusion conditions of society, at definite stages of culture. But, while giving full importance to the evidence bearing on these standard conditions of society, let us be careful to avoid a pitfall which may entrap the unwary student. Of course, the opinions and habits belonging in common to masses of mankind are to a great extent the results of sound judgment and practical wisdom．But to a great extent it is not so.

That many numerous societies of men should have believed in the influence of the evil eye and the existence of a firmament, should have sacrificed slaves and goods to the ghosts of the departed, should have handed down traditions of giants slaying monsters and men turning into beasts－all this is ground for holding that such ideas were indeed produced in men's minds by efficient causes, but it is not ground for holding that the rites in question are profitable, the beliefs sound, and the history authentic. This may seem at the first glance a truism, but, in fact, it is the denial of a fallacy which deeply affects the minds of all but a small critical minority of mankind. Popularly, what everybody says must be true, what everybody does must be right.

There are various topics, especially in history, law, philosophy, and theology, where even the educated people we live among can hardly be brought to see that the cause why men do hold an opinion, or practise a custom, is by no means necessarily a reason why they ought to do so. Now collections of ethnographic evidence, bringing so prominently into view the agreement of immense multitudes of men as to certain traditions, beliefs, and usages, are peculiarly liable to be thus improperly used in direct defense of these institutions themselves, even old barbaric nations being polled to maintain their opinions against what are called modern ideas.

As it has more than once happened to myself to find my collections of traditions and beliefs thus set up to prove their own objective truth, without proper examination of the grounds on which they were actually received, I take this occasion of remarking that the same line of argument will serve equally well to demonstrate, by the strong and wide consent of nations, that the earth is flat, and night—mare the visit of a demon.

The author develops his writing mainly by means of_____.

A record number of people are out of work in Westfield County due to the recession. And that means a record number of Westfield County residents are looking for a job, sometimes in a field utterly different from the one they have been trained for. This is exactly what Angelina Caruthers, founder and director of Westfield Bee Services, is counting on.

"If you're out of work and looking for a way to start with a clean slate, beekeeping is likely the perfect answer," Caruthers says. "The market for domestic honeybee pollination services among Westfield farmers is healthy, and it's nowhere near to being adequately filled. That's a recipe for business success."

To capitalize on this scenario, Caruthers's company has announced a series of beekeeping workshops, to be held every Wednesday and Saturday at the office of Westfield Bee Services in Becksburg. After attending just three sessions and successfully completing a certification exam, anyone who chooses to can become a licensed beekeeper, purchase a colony, and launch their very own bee service startup. The cost of the three-class course is $220, paid up front and in full, and registration forms are available from the Westfield Bee Services website.

"It's really a win-win situation," Caruthers continues. "The unemployed get an opportunity to create and run their own business, county farmers get access to more pollination providers, and the general public gets an increase in the amount of fruits and vegetables grown in Westfield."

The cost of the three-class course is $220, paid up front and in full, and registration forms are available from the Westfield Bee Services website.

"It's really a win-win situation," Caruthers continues. "The unemployed get an opportunity to create and run their own business, county farmers get access to more pollination providers, and the general public gets an increase in the amount of fruits and vegetables grown in Westfield."

The word "counting" in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to（　）.

A record number of people are out of work in Westfield County due to the recession. And that means a record number of Westfield County residents are looking for a job, sometimes in a field utterly different from the one they have been trained for. This is exactly what Angelina Caruthers, founder and director of Westfield Bee Services, is counting on.

"If you're out of work and looking for a way to start with a clean slate, beekeeping is likely the perfect answer," Caruthers says. "The market for domestic honeybee pollination services among Westfield farmers is healthy, and it's nowhere near to being adequately filled. That's a recipe for business success."

According to the article, what is NOT a benefit of the beekeeping course?（　）

Modern scientists divide the process of dying into two stages—clinical or temporary death and biological death. Clinical death occurs when the vital organs, such as the heart or lungs, have ceased to function, but have not suffered permanent damage. The organism can still be revived. Biological death occurs when changes in the organism lead to the disintegration of vital cells and tissues. Death is then irreversible and final.

Scientists have been seeking a way to prolong the period of clinical death so that the organism can be revived before biological death occurs. The best method developed so far involves cooling of the organism, combined with narcotic sleep. By slowing down the body's metabolism, cooling delays the processes leading to biological death.

To illustrate how this works, scientists performed an experiment on a six-year-old female monkey called Keta. The scientists put Keta to sleep with a narcotic. Then they surrounded her body with ice-bags and began checking her body temperature. When it had dropped to 28 degrees the scientists began draining blood from its body. The monkey's blood pressure decreased and an hour later both the heart and breathing stopped; clinical death set in. For twenty minutes Keta remained in this state. Her temperature dropped to 22 degrees. At this point the scientists pumped blood into its body in the direction of the heart and started artificial breathing. After two minutes the monkey' s heart became active once more. After fifteen minutes，spontaneous breathing began, and after four hours Keta opened her eyes and lifted her head. After six hours, when the scientists tried to give her a penicillin injection, Keta seized the syringe and ran with it around the room. Her behavior differed little from that of a healthy animal.

One possible benefit of the experiment discussed in the passage is _____.

I've loved my mother's desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as mother sat writing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the more wonderful thing in the world. Years later, during her final illness, mother kept different things for my sister and brother. "But the desk," she'd said again, "it's for Elizabeth."

I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed it in action. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter. They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was "too emotional". But she lived "on the surface".

As years passed I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive me. I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came. My hope turned to disappointment. then little interest and, finally, peace-it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn't be sure that the letter had even got to mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.

Now the present of her desk told, as she'd never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside—a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded and refolded many times. Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose. Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.
