And their charm comes from an apparent contradiction in the national character. They are extremely conservative in social relationships, within the family and when meeting friends and business acquaintances, their conduct is governed by strict social patterns. At the same time, they are one of the most intellectually progressive peoples in the world. They are always open to new ideas.All social occasions in Sweden are regulated by rules and tradtions. And these tradtions are expressed in a specific ritual made up of formal bows, handshakes, and greetings. When a vistor enters a Swedish home, he is invariably received with a “Welcome”; when he leaves, his host will tell him “You will be welcome again.” These charming phrases are an indestructible part of Swedish social life and they give it an old-world flavor of good manners.Equally attractive is the Swedish acceptance of modern technological equipment. A traveler never needs to search for a telephone in Sweden: telephone booths are placed at regular intervals along the main streets and highways. And in church, for example, long benches are fitted with hearing aids for worshippers who may be hard of hearing. Swedish homes are among the best equipped in the world and travelers in Sweden find their journeys made easy by the use of the most efficient modern devices.The Swedes are an efficient and most capable people. Punctuality is more than a virture to them---it is a rule of life originating from the most attractive characterisitc of this northern people. This is their respect for their friends and acquaintances and especially for the visitors to their country. At whatever cost to themselves, they take care not to give another person the slightest degree of discomfort.This respect for human rights runs through the whole Swedish social system. It makes politicians and bureaucrats, indeed anyone with social power, courteous in dealing with citizens and visitors. Courtesy thus has been developed into a social instinct in Sweden. It is part of the spirit of the life based on a national culture which is wholly Scandinavian.41. What makes the Swedes one of the most charming peoples in Europe?a.

In some regions, temperature rose several degrees in less than a century. Sea levels shot up nearly 400 feet, flooding coastal settlements and forcing people to migrate inland. Deserts spread throughtout the world as vegetation shifted drastically in North America, Europe and Asia. After driving many of the animals around them to near extinction, people were forced to abandon their old way of life for a radically new survival strategy that resulted in widespread starvation and disease. The adaptation was farming: the global-warming crisis that gave rise to it happened more than 10,000 years ago.As environmentalists convene in Rio de Janeiro this week to ponder the global climate of the future, earth scientists are in the midst of a revolution in understanding how climate has changed in the past--- and how those changes have transformed human existence. Researchers have begun to piece together an illuminating picture of the powerful geological and astronomical forces that have combined to change the planet’s environment from hot to cold, wet to dry and back again over a time period stretching back hundreds of millions of year.Most important, scientisits are beginning to realize that climate changes have had a major impact on the evolution of the human species. New research now suggests that climate shifts have played a key role in nearly every significant turning point in human evolution: from the dawn of primates some 65 million years ago to human ancestors rising up to walk on two legs, from the huge expansion of the human brain to the rise of agriculture. Indeed, the human history has not been merely touched by global climate change, some scientists argue, it has in some instances been driven by it.The new research has profound implications for the environmental summit in Rio. Among other things, the findings demonstrate that dramatic climate change is nothing new for planet Earth. The begign global environment that has existed over the past 10,000 years---during which agriculture, writing, cities and most other features of civilization appeared---is a mere bright spot in a much larger pattern of widely varying climate over the ages.In fact, the pattern or climate change in the past reveals that Earth’s climate will almost certainly go through dramatic changes in the future----even without the influence of human ativity.46. Farming emerged as a survival strategy because man had been obliged .a. to give up his former way of lifeb. to leave the coastal areac. to follow the ever-shifting vegetationd. to abandon his original settlement47.

Earth’s climate is bound to change significantly in the future.d. Earth’s climate is unlikely to undergo substantial changes in the future50. The message the author wishes to convey in the passage is that .a. human civilization remains glorious though it is affected by climatic changes.b. mankind is virtually helpless in the face of the dramatic changes of climatec. man has to limit his activities to slow down the global warming processd. human civilization will continue to develop in spite of the changes of natureIV.
