There are two methods of fighting, the one by law, the other by force; the first method is that of men, the second of beasts; but as the first method is often insufficient, one must have recourse to the second. It is, therefore, necessary for a prince to know well how to use both the beast and the man. This was covertly taught to rulers by ancient writers, who related how Achilles and many others of those ancient princes were given to Chiron the centaur to be brought up and educated under his discipline. The parable of this semi-animal, semi-human teacher is meant to indicate that a prince must know how to use both natures, and that the one without the other is not durable.
A prince, being thus obliged to know well how to act as a beast, must imitate the fox, and the lion, for the lion cannot protect himself from traps, and the fox cannot defend himself from wolves. Those that wish to be only lions do not understand this. Therefore, a prudent ruler ought not to keep faith when By doing so it would be against his interest, and when the reasons which made him bind himself no longer exist. If men were all good, this precept would not be good; but as they are bad, and would not observe their faith with you, so you are not bound to keep faith with them. Nor have legitimate grounds ever failed a prince who wished to show colorable excuse for the non-fulfillment of his promise. Of this one could furnish an infinite number of examples, and show how many times peace has been broken, and how many promises rendered worthless, by the faithlessness of princes, and those that have best been able to imitate the fox have succeeded best. But it is necessary to be able to disguise this character well, and to be a great feigner and dissembler, and men are so simple and so ready to obey present necessities, that the one who deceives will always find those who allow themselves to be deceived.
The author of the passage does not believe that ______.
A.people can protect themselves
B.the truth makes men free
C.leaders have to be consistent
D.princes are human
听力原文:M:Do you think women are generally better at certain things than men?
W:Well,it seems to me women are much better at dealing with more than one thing at a time.I don't know whether this has to do with the difference in their brain or whether it's just how they have to cope more often with more than one thing.For example,it is usually women who work,have babies.look after the babies and take the main, responsibility for looking after the home.And maybe it's practicing all that makes women be better able to do more than one thing at a time.Men,it seems to me,can only concentrate on one thing at a time,including boring domestic things like washing the dishes.If a friend of mine who is a man washes the dishes he'll find it quite difficult to conduct a conversation at the same time.whereas if I'm doing the dishes I'm always talking to someone.probably cooking something as well,and finding that not too stressful.
M:Do you think women are more interested in personal relationships than men?
W:Generally,yes,though again I don't know if this is because that from an early age they are taught to please other people,whereas men are always taught to please themselves.I think relationships are more central to most women's lives.For example.I think men don't have very good conversations with each other.whereas women do.If you listen to women talking,often they will be having,after a relatively short time of knowing each other,fairly personal and truthful conversations,whereas men have conversations not about what I'd call real things.They will talk about their work in a very superficial way,or their interests in a very superficial way,for example,and football is me—um—just a sort of way for men to relate to each other without actually saying anything important,it appears to me.
According to the woman,why women are much better at dealing with more than one thing at a time?
A.She doesn't know the reason exactly.
B.Because women are smarter than men.
C.Because women have more things to deal with than men.
D.Because men always refuse to deal with more than one thing at the same time.

By the looking-glass self, Cooley meant the self-image that each of us develops according to the messages we receive from others; we think and behave according to our understanding of those messages. If, for example, a young girl is repeatedly told that she is pretty, she will come to believe that: (1) she is in fact pretty, and (2) being pretty is an important thing in her life. Similarly, if she is told that she is not good (or not expected to be good) at certain things such as math, she will come to believe that she is not good at such things and would be better off working at things she can be successful at. The likely product is a young woman who devotes a great deal of attention to her appearance, regards being pretty as a key to success in life, and who is intimidated by anything connected with numbers.
Since we know that young girls are given messages like these, and that young boys are given different messages, we can see a good part of how sex roles are taught. There is little or no evidence of differences in what young girls and young boys can do, but the older children become, the greater the differences in the areas in which boys and girls are interested.
According to the passage, if one is given a certain message about himself or herself time and again, he or she will ______.
A.regard it as important in all his or her life
B.pay much attention to his or her appearance
C.find it believable and then behave accordingly
D.make it known to others to see whether it is true
