39、tsuzawa wanted to find out why quite healthy in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and reason at a rather early age,and how the speed of getting old could be slowed down.With a team of researchers at Tokyo National University,he set about measuring brain volumes of a thousan

47、everal weeks I went completely to the wolves.I took a tiny tent and set it up on the shore of bay.The big telescope was set up in the mouth of the tent in such a way that I could observe the wolves by day or night.Quite by accident I had pitched(set up)my tent within ten yards of one of the major pa
48、ths used by the wolves.Shortly after I had taken up residence one of the wolves came back and discovered me and my tent,but he did not stop or hesitate in his pace.Later,one or more wolves used the track past my tent and never did they show the slightest interest in me.I felt uncomfortable at being
49、so totally ignored.The next day I noticed a male wolf make boundary markers by passing water on the rounds of his family lands.Once I had become aware of the strong feeling of property rights which existed among the wolves,I decided to use this knowledge to make them at least recognize my existence.
50、One evening,after they had gone off for their regular nightly hunt I staked out a property of my own,including a long section of the wolves path.In order to ensure that my claim would not be overlooked,I made a property mark on stones,dumps of moss,and patches of vegetation with a lot of tea.Before
51、the hunters came back,task was done,and I retired,somewhat exhausted,to observe results.A few minutes later,the leading male appeared.As usual he did not bother to glance at the tent,but when he reached the point where my property line intersected(cut across)the trail,he stopped as suddenly as if he
52、 had run into an invisible wall.Cautiously,he extended his nose and sniffed at one of my marked bushes.After a minute of hesitation he backed away a few yards and sat down.Then,he looked directly at the tent and at me.His glare seemed to become more fierce as I attempted to stare him down.The situat
53、ion was becoming intolerable.To break the impasse I turned my back on the wolf.Then quickly and with an air of decision,he turned his attention away from me and began a systematic tour of the area I had staked out as my own.As he came to each boundary marker he sniffed it once or twice,then carefull

59、 instances in which a country has achieved higher levels of income(growth)with little or no benefit coming to most of its citizens(development).In the past,most development policies were aimed increasing the growth rate of income per capita.Many still are,based on the theory that benefits of economi
60、c growth will come to all members of society.If this theory is correct,growth should promote development.By the early 1970s,however,the relationship between growth and development was being questioned.A major study by the World Bank in 1974 concluded that it is now clear that more than a decade of r
61、apid growth in underdeveloped countries has been of little benefit to a third of their population.The World Bank study indicated that increases in GNP per capita did not promise important improvements in such development indicators as nutrition,health,and education.Although GNP per capita did indeed
62、 rise,its benefits come down to only a small part of the population.This realization gave rise to a call for new development policies.These new policies favored agriculture over industry,called for domestic redistribution of income and wealth,and encouraged programs to satisfy such basic needs as fo
63、od and shelter.In the late 1970s and early 1980s,the international macroeconomic crises of high oil prices,worldwide recession,and third world debt forced attention away from programs designed to get rid of poverty.However,the lesson remains:economic growth does not promise economic development.Effo

65、elopment is not necessarily the result of growth.D.Growth and development refer to the same thing.【小题 2】According to the study by the World Bank in 1974,economic growth in some background countries brought A.benefit only to a third of their population.B.almost no benefit to a third of their populati

67、 programs with new development policies.D.was busy solving other more serious economic problems.【小题 4】If the passage continues,what is the author most likely to discuss in the next paragraph?A.How to turn growth into development.B.How to remove poverty from society.C.How to decrease third world debt

70、since 1990,an achievement that makes it the envy of many other Third World countries.Martine puts it down to,among other things,soap operas and installment plans introduced in the 1970s.Both played an important,although in direct,role in lowering the birth rate.Brazil is one of the worlds biggest pr
71、oducers of soap operas.Globo,Brazils most popular television network,shows three hours of soaps six nights a week,while three others show at least one hour a night.Most soaps are based on wealthy characters living the high life in big cities.“Although they have never really tried to work in a messag
