The idea of being able to walk on water has long interested humans greatly. Sadly, biologicalfacts prevent us ever accomplishing such a thing without artificial aid--we simply weigh too much,and all our mm pushes down through our relatively small feet, resulting in a lot of pressure thatmakes us sink.

      However, several types of animals can walk on water.  One of the most interesting is thecommon basilisk Basilicusbasilicus, a lizard (蜥蜴) native to Central and South America. It canrun across water for a distance of several meters, avoiding getting wet by rapidly hitting the water'ssurface with its feet. The lizard will take as many as 20 steps per second to keep moving forward.For humans to do this, we'd need huge feet that we could bring up to our ears in order to create

adequate "hitting. “

      But fortunately there is an alternative: cornflour. By adding enough of this common thickeningagent to water (and it does take a lot), you can create a "non-Newtonian" liquid that doesn't behavelike normal water. Now, if the surface of the water is hit hard enough, particles(微粒) in the watergroup together for a moment to make the surface hard. Move quickly enough and put enough force intoeach step, and you really can walk across the surface of an adequately thick liquid of cornflour.

      Fun though all this may sound, it's still rather mess进步网y md better mad about in theory than carriedout in practice, if you must do it, then keep the water wings handy in case you start to sink--and takea shower afterward! 来源进步网www.szjjedu.com

      One moment it was quiet and calm in the forest, the next, the air was charged with tension. Theelephant had heard the distant alarm calls of animals and her mood suddenly changed. I urged theelephant deeper into the forest. We sounded like a forest fire-crackling, snapping, trailblazing. Butthrough all the noise came a sharp wanting cry. The elephant stopped and we heard it again—thetell-tale call of a spotted deer.

      I looked quickly mound the shadows of the forest. Rays of sunlight shone through tree branches,beneath which the patchwork (交错) of green plants and shadow-within-shadows would make tigerstripes (条纹) look more attractive. Apart from an occasional noise from the elephant's stomach, theforest wins silent.

      Gradually, the tension slipped from our bodies. The elephant seized a nearby branch and put itinto her mouth. I roached forward and gently moved my hand over the elephant's neck; there was asoft part, free of wrinkles and hairs, behind her ear. 来源进步网www.szjjedu.com

      It's generally believed that people act the way they do because of their personalities and attitudes.They recycle their garbage because they care about the environment. They pay $5 for a caramelbrulée latte because they like expensive coffee drinks. 来源进步网www.szjjedu.com

      It's undeniable that behavior comes from our inner dispositions (性情), but in many instanceswe also draw inferences about who we are, as suggested by the social psychologist Daryl Bern. Byobserving our own behavior. We can be strangers to ourselves. If we knew our own minds, why wouldwe need to guess what our preferences are from our behavior? If our minds were an open book, wewould know exactly how much we care about the environment or like lattes. Actually, we often need tolook to our behavior to figure out who we are.

      Moreover, we don't just use our behavior to learn about our particular types of character—weinfer characters that weren't there before. Our behavior is often shaped by little pressures around us,which we fail to recognize. Maybe we recycle because our wives and neighbors would disapprove if wedidn't. Maybe we buy lattes in order to impress the people around us. We should not mistakenlybelieve that we always behave as a result of some inner disposition.

      Whatever pressures there can be or inferences one can make, people become what they do,though it may not be in compliance (符合) with their true desires. Therefore, we should all bear inmind Kurt Vonnegut's advice: "We are what we pretend to be, so we进步网must be careful about what wepretend to be. “

     B. A kind person will offer his seat to the old.

     C. One recycles plastics to protect the environment.

     D, One buys latte out of true love of coffee.

54. What can be inferred from the underlined sentence in the passage?

     A. We fall to realize our inner dispositions.

     B. We can be influenced by outside pressures.

     C. Our behavior is the result of our true desires.

     D. Our characters can shape our social relationships.
