Museums work constantly to improve their collections and ways of displaying them. All museums are always on the watch for new additions to their collections. Works of art are bought from art dealers and private collectors or at auction (拍卖) sales. Museums also accept gifts and bequests (遗物), but the large museums no longer accept everything that is offered to them. They accept only objects or collections that meet their high standards.
What is to be gained from visiting museums? Museum exhibits can teach us about the world in which we live--the materials it is made of, the trees and plants that cover it, and the animals that have lived on it since its beginning. We can learn about the activities of man--his history and development and his accomplishments in arts and crafts.

SECTION C NEWS BROADCAST
Directions: In this section you will hear everything ONCE ONLY. Listen carefully and then answer the questions that follow. At the end of each news item, you will be given 10 seconds to answer the questions.
听力原文: Pakistan's southern Baluchistan and Sindh provinces are used to heavy rains during the annual monsoon season. But, this year, the floods are much worse than normal. The United Nations estimates more than 2.5 million people are. affected. It says up to 400 people are dead and more are missing. It reports that nearly 400,000 people are homeless. U.N. Emergency Relief Coordinator, John Holmes, says the biggest slice of the $38 million appeal will go toward restoring peoples livelihoods as quickly as possible. That means bringing the devastated agricultural sector back to normal. The next biggest need is for shelter. He says hundreds of thousands of homeless people are living with friends or relatives. Many are living in school buildings or in makeshift roadside shelters. He says this is particularly unpleasant, as people are forced to endure scorching heat and dust storms. Holmes says health is another important consideration. "So far, we do not have any reports of outbreaks of communicable diseases, but the risk is obviously very high given the conditions of hygiene in the affected areas and the monsoon season very high heat and humidity conditions."
According to the United Nations, nearly ______ people are homeless because of the floods in Pakistan.
A.4,000
B.140,000
C.400,000
D.40,000

Twenty-five million Americans wake up every day in just such a sorry situation. They are one in ten of us who are left-handed and must face the world designed for the right-handed majority.
Why we are left or right-handed remains one of the greatest unsolved mysteries of science. We know that nearly two out of three lefties are men and that left-handedness runs in families. According to one study almost half of the children of two left-handed parents will be left-handed. The Scots-Irish family Kerr produced so many left-handers that in 1470 the family built its house stairway with a reverse twist.
On the other hand, heredity (遗传) alone cannot explain lefties. At least 84 percent of them are born of two right-handed parents. And in 12 percent of twins, one will be right-handed, the other left.
Perhaps the greatest puzzle of all is not why some people are left-handed, but rather why so few are. In fact, almost equal numbers of individuals will favour either the right or the left. However, scientists are trying to set things right and they are beginning to study the many ways left-handers differ from right-handers by considering how their brains work.
How many of the Americans are left-handers?
A.10%.
B.12%.
C.50%.
D.84%.
The motion of the sun along the ecliptic is, of course, merely a reflection of the revolution of the earth around the sun, but the ancients believed the earth was fixed and the sun had and independent motion of its own, eastward among the stars. The glare of sunlight hides the stars in daytime, but the ancients were aware that the stars were up there even at night, and the slow eastward motion of the sun around the sky, at the rate of about thirty degrees each month, caused different stars to be visible at night at different times of the year.
The moon, revolving around the earth each month, also has an independent motion in the sky. The moon, however, changes it position relatively rapidly. Although it appears to rise and set each day, as does nearly everything else in the sky, we can see the moon changing position during as short an interval as an hour or so. The moon's path around the earth lies nearly in the same plane as the earth's path around the sun, so the moon is never seen very far from the ecliptic in the sky. There are five other objects visible to the naked eye that also appear to move in respect to the fixed background of stars on the celestial sphere. These are the planets Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. All of them revolve around the sun in nearly the same plane as the earth does, so they, like the moon, always appear near the ecliptic. Because we see the planets from the moving earth, however, they behave in a complicated way, with their apparent motions on the celestial sphere reflecting both their own independent motions around the sun and our motion as well.
The ancient people believed that ______.
A.the earth was spinning on the axis of the sky
B.the sky was a hollow sphere spinning around the earth
C.the patterns of stars on the sky would never change
D.the stars around the sky were not stationary
"Psychological, social and cultural studies pertaining to virtually everything that people treat as a problem in our civilization," the committee writes, "play a large role. "Paradoxically, one would think these would be times when social science research would be riding high. Yet even though governments are more than alarmed about a variety of social problems, they are inclined to deal with them by trial and (often) error. The abuse of drugs is a widely-spread concern, but governments seem to concern themselves with the qualifications of teachers and their salaries.
If we lack an adequate understanding of drug abuse and educational processes, are we flying blind attempting to deal with these behaviors.? What domains of your life could benefit from social and behavioral science research? For instance, are we concerned about crime? Consider that recent sociological research reveals that nearly half of all urban dwelling American males can expect to be arrested for some non-traffic offense during their lives. However, a very small group of career predators are responsible for a grossly disproportionate share of all crimes committed. What does this in sight suggest to you about American criminal justice and prison policies? Sociological work also shows that most criminals halt their careers by age 25 to 30. Does this finding have policy implication? If a 29-year-old burglar whose criminal career is nearly over is imprisoned for ten years, may many years of that imprisonment be wasted on expensive and unnecessary confinement?
According to the author, social and behavioral sciences are losing federal financial support chiefly because some people ______.
A.don't see the seriousness of the present situation
B.don't quite see the use for these sciences
C.only consider natural sciences as true sciences
D.are unable to solve social problems with them
