27、NSLATION SECTION A CHINESE TO ENGLISHTranslate the following underlined part of the text into English. 文化并不限于语言那么简朴，它涉及了思想、感情和我觉得特别重要的一环感官反映。要懂得自己的文化倾向，最精确的指标可以说是我们的直觉反映。语言固然是其中一种指标，由于没有多少人会用第二语言来体现突如其来的痛楚或快感；但同样我们也有非常明显的非语言指标，其中一项很重要的就是对食物的偏爱，特别是身体不舒服的时候想吃什么。上面所说的种种，大概可以概括地称为本能感觉。正由于这些反映完全不受我们自己或别人

28、的但愿支配和伪装，因此精确性很高。我的两个世界不仅有不同的声音，并且有不同的气味、质感，更以不同的节奏运作。如此具体的分别，令当年的我感到很奇妙，那种感觉就像同步看着两幅画，一幅是老式中国山水画，另一幅是欧洲印象派作品。但有一种很重要的分别：我不是在看画，而是同步生活在两幅画里面。PRACTICE 2SECTION A MINI-LECTUREWeighing Research MethodsTwo types of research methods: - Secondary Research uses secondary sources, i.e. (1)_ (1)_ - Primary R

51、ESEWhether work should be placed among the causes of happiness or among the causes of unhappiness may perhaps be regarded as a doubtful question. There is certainly much work which is exceedingly irksome, and an excess of work is always very painful. I think, however, that provided work is not exces

52、sive in amount, even the dullest work is to most people less painful than idleness. There are in work all grades, from mere relief of tedium up to the profoundest delights, according to the nature of the work and the abilities of the workers. Most of the work that most people have to do is not in it

53、self interesting, but even such work has certain great advantages. To begin with, it fills a good many hours of the day without the need of deciding what one shall do. Most people, when they are left free to fill their own time according to their own choice, are at a loss to think of anything suffic

54、iently pleasant to be worth doing. And whatever they decide on, they are troubled by the feeling that something else would have been pleasanter. To be able to fill leisure intelligently is the last product of civilization, ant at present very few people have reached this level. Moreover, the exercis

55、e of choice is in itself tiresome. Except to people with unusual initiative it is positively agreeable to be told what to do at each hour of the day, provided the orders are not too unpleasant.
