5. Thus，the anthropological concept of “culture” ，like the concept of “set” in mathematics，is an abstract concept which makes possible immense amounts of concrete research and understanding。
2002年：1. One difficulty is that almost all of what is called behavioral science continues to trace behavior to states of mind, feelings, traits of character, human nature, and so on 。
2. The behavioral sciences have been slow to change partly because the explanatory items often seem to be directly observed and partly because other kinds of explanations have been hard to find 。
3. The role of natural selection in evolution was formulated only a little more than a hundred years ago , and the selective role of the environment in shaping and maintaining the behavior of the individual is only beginning to be recognized and studied。
4. They are the possessions of the autonomous self governing man of traditional theory , and they re essential to practices in which a person is held responsible for his conduct and given credit for his achievements。

2. Children will play with dolls equipped with personality chips ， computers with in built personalities will be regarded as workmates rather than tools ， relaxation will be in front of smell television， and digital age will have arrived。
3. Pearson has pieced together the work of hundreds of researchers around the world to produce a unique millennium technology calendar that gives the latest dates when we can expect hundreds of key breakthroughs and discoveries to take place 。
4. But that，Pearson points out，is only the start of man machine integration : “It will be the beginning of the long process of integration that will ultimately lead to a fully electronic human before the end of the next century ”。
5. And home appliances will also become so smart that controlling and operating them will result in the breakout of a new psychological disorder—kitchen rage 。
2000年：1. Under modern conditions ，this requires varying measures of centralized control and hence the help of specialized scientists such as economists and operational research experts 。
2. Furthermore ，it is obvious that the strength of a country’s economy is directly bound up with the efficiency of its agriculture and industry ，and that this in turn rests upon the efforts of scientists and technologists of all kinds 。
3. Owing to the remarkable development in mass communications ，people everywhere are feeling new wants and are being exposed to new customs and ideas， while governments are often forced to introduce still further innovations for the reasons given above 。
4. In the early in industrialized countries of Europe the process of industrialization —with all the far reaching changes in social patterns that followed—was spread over nearly a century ， whereas nowadays a developing nation may undergo the same process in a decade or so 。
5. Additional social stresses may also occur because of the population explosion or problems arising from mass migration movements themselves made relatively easy nowadays by modern means of transport 。
2014年：46. It is also the reason why when we try to describe music with words， all we can do is articulate our reactions to it and not grasp music itself.
47. By all accounts he was a freethinking person， and a courageous one， and I find courage an essential quality for the understanding， let along the performance， of his works.
48. Beethoven?s habit of increasing the volume with an extreme intensity and then abruptly following it with a sudden soft passage was only rarely used by composers before him.
49. Especially significant was his views of freedom， which， for him， was associated with the rights and responsibilities of the individual； he advocated freedom of thought and of personal expression.
50. One could interpret much of the work of Beethoven by saying that suffering is inevitable， but the courage to fight it renders life worth living.
2013年：46. yet, when onelooks at the photographs of the gardens created by the homeless, it strikes onethat, for all their diversity of styles, these gardens speak of various otherfundamental urges, beyond that of decoration and creative expression。
47. A sacred placeof peace, however crude it may be, is a distinctly human need, as opposed toshelter, which is a distinctly animal need。
48. The gardens ofthe homeless, which are in effect homeless gardens, introduce form into an urbanenvironment where it either didn?t exist or was not discernible as such。
49. most of usgive in to a demoralization of spirit which usually blame on some psychologicalconditions, until one day we find ourselves in a garden and feel the oppressionvanish as if by magic。
50. It is thisimplicit or explicit reference to nature that fully justifies the use of theword garden, though in a “liberated” sense, to describe these syntheticconstructions。
2012年：46）In physics， one approach takes this impulse for unification to its extreme， and seeks a theory of everything — a single generative equation for all we see.
47）Here， Darwinism seems to offer justification， for if all humans share common origins， it seems reasonable to suppose that cultural diversity could also be traced to more constrained beginnings.
48）To filter out what is contingent and unique from what is shared might enable us to understand how complex cultural behaviour arose and what guides it in evolutionary or cognitive terms.
49）The second， by Joshua Greenberg， takes a more empirical approach to universality， identifying traits （particularly in word order） shared by many languages， which are considered to represent biases that result from cognitive constraints.
50）Chomsky?s grammar should show patterns of language change that are independent of the family tree or the pathway tracked through it， whereas Greenbergian universality predicts strong co-dependencies between particular types of word-order relations.
2011年：46) Allen?s contribution was to take an assumption we all share--that because we are not robots we therefore control our thoughts-and reveal its erroneous nature.
47) while we may be able to sustain the illusion of control through the conscious mind alone, in reality we are continually faced with a question: “Why cannot I make myself do this or achieve that? ”
