The Influence of Western Movie
Whv does the Western movie especially have such a hold(影响)on our inclination?Chiefly,because it offers serious insights into the problem of violence such as can be found almost nowhere else in our culture.One of the well—known peculiarities of modem civilized opinion is its refusal to acknowledge the value of violence.This refusal is a virtue.but like many virtues it involves a certain deliberate blindness and it encourages hypocrisy(虚伪).We train ourselves to be shocked or bored by cultural images of violence,and our very concept of heroism tends to be a passive one.We are less drawn to the brave young men who kill large numbers of our enemies than to the heroic prisoners who endure torture without surrendering.And in the criticism of popular culture,the presence of images of violence is often assumed to be in itself a sufficient ground for condemnation.
These attitudes,however,have not reduced the element of violence in our culture but have helped to free it from moral control by letting it take on the air of“liberation”.The celebration of acts of violence is left more and more to the irresponsible.The gangster(匪徒)movie,with its numerous variations belongs to a cultural“underground”which praises violence aid sets it against all our higher social attitudes.It is a more“modem”style. than the Western movie,perhaps even more profound,because it confronts industrial society on its own ground—the city and because,like much of our advanced art,it gains its effects by a coarse insistence on its own narrow logic.But it is anti-social resting on fantasies of irresponsible freedom.If we are brought finally to concede to the denial of these fantasies,it is only because they have been shown to be dangerous,not because they have given way to higher values of behavior.
In war movies,certainly,it is possible to present violence within a framework of responsibility.But there is the disadvantage that modem war is a co-operative enterprise in which violence is largely impersonal and heroism belongs to the group more than to the individual.The hero of a war movie is most often simply a leader supposed to be brave;you are supposed to get the job done and stay alive(this too,of course,is a kind of heroic posture,but a new and“practical”one).At its best,the war movie may represent a more civilized point of view than the Western,and if it were not continually spoiled by ideological sentimentality we might hope to find it developing into a higher form. of drama.But it cannot supply the values we seek in the Western.

This phenomenon came to be known as the Hawthorne effect since the experiments were conducted at the Western Electric Hawthorne Plant. This was the first documented and widely published evidence of the psychological effects on doing work, and it led to the first serious effort aimed at examining psychological and social factors in the workplace. Further experiments were continued for five years. Generally, the researchers concluded from their experiments that economic motivation (pay) was not the sole source of productivity and, in some cases, not even the most important source. Through interviews and test results, the researchers focused on the effects of work attitudes, supervision, and the peer group and other social forces, on productivity.
Their findings laid the groundwork for modem motivation theory, and the study of human factors on the job, which continues to this day in such common practices as selection and training, establishing favorable work conditions, counseling, and personnel operations. The contributions of this experiment shifted the focus of human motivation from economics to a multifaceted approach including psychological and social forces.
What is the passage primarily about?
A.The first widely published development in modem motivation theory.
B.Shifting the focus of human motivation from economics to a multifaceted approach.
C.The importance of careful research.
D.The results of a pioneering study at Western Electric.

阅读下面短文,从[A](Right)、[B](Wrong)、[C](Doesn't Say)三个判断中选择一个正确选项。
In the world there are different forms of family groups. In modem western societies(社会), a family group is usually small, made up of a man, his wife, and his children. About a hundred years ago, it was usually a little larger than this. Unmarried(未婚的) sons and daughters were part of the family even after they were grown up. Now unmarried sons and daughters do not always live with their parents after they begin to work. They often live in their own houses or rooms.
In other societies, family groups are quite different. In some places, a man may have more than one wife. When two or more wives live together with their husband in the same home, brothers or sisters (or both) have the same father but different mothers. In these families the younger children sleep in their mother's rooms, but all the older boys may sleep together in a large room and all the older girls in another.
The first wife often has a special(特殊的) place in this kind of family. Her husband asks for her suggestion when he takes his other wives, and she tells them what work they must do.
A modem western family is usually made up of a husband, a wife and their children.
A.Right.
B.Wrong.
