10、on. The efforts of the authorities to get the peasants back to work, as they had slacked off (松懈) a great deal the previous year during independence celebrations, largely contributed to it. Also, rains were well spaced, and continued through the whole month of October. If the 1961-1962 total is back

11、 to the region of 45000tons, it is mostly because efforts slackened again and sowing was started too late. The average date of sowing is about July 1st. If this date is simply moved up fifteen or twenty days, 30000 to 60000 tons of cotton is gained, depending on the year. The peasant in Chad sows hi

12、s millet(小米)first ,and it is hard to criticize this instinctive priority given to his daily bread. An essential reason for his lateness with sowing cotton is that at the time when he should leave to prepare the fields he has just barely sold the cotton is that at the time when he should leave to pre

13、pare the fields he has just barely sold the cotton of the previous season. The work required to sow, in great heat, is psychologically far more difficult if ones pockets are full of money .The date of cotton sales should therefore be moved forward as much as possible, and purchases of equipment and

14、draught animals encouraged. Peasants should also be encouraged to save money, to help them through the difficult period between harvests. If necessary they should be forced to do so ,by having the payments for cotton given to them in installments(分期付款).The last payment would be made after proof that

15、 the peasant has planted before the deadline ,the date being advanced to the end of June .Those who have done so would receive extra money whereas the last planters would not receive their last payment until later. Only the first steps are hard, because once work has started the peasants continue wi

16、llingly on their way .Educational campaigns among the peasants will play an essential role in this basic advance. Each peasant will remain master of his fields. One could, however, suggest the need for the time being of kind but firm rule, which, as long as it cannot be realized by the people, shoul

17、d at least be for the people.41. In 1960-1961, Chad had a good harvest of cotton because_. A .the government greatly encouraged peasants B. rains favored the growth of cotton C.

22、s.Dreams involve little logical thought. In most dreams, the dreamer cannot control what happens to him. The story may be confusing, and things happen that would not happen in real life.

23、color. But persons who have been blind since do not see at all in dreams.Dreams are a product of the sleepers mind. They include events and feelings that he has experienced.

When

30、a person feels like running away from something he thinks will hurt him, we call this emotion fear. If the person wants to remove the danger by attacking it, we call the emotion anger. The emotions of joy and love are aroused when we think something can help us. An emotion does not have to be create

31、d by something in the outside world. It can be created by a persons thoughts.Everyone has emotions. Many psychologists believe that infants are born without emotions. They believe children learn emotions just as they learn to read write. A growing child not only learns his emotions but learns how to

32、 act in certain situations because of an emotion.Psychologists think that there are two types of emotion: positive and negative. Positive emotions include love, liking, joy, delight and hope.

Even a skilled writer probably could not describe all the features that make o

39、ne face different from another. Yet a very young child or even an animal, such as a pigeon can learn to recognize faces. We all take this ability for granted.We also tell people apart by how they behave. When we talk about someones personality, we mean the ways in which he or she acts, speaks, think

40、s and feels that make that individual different from others.Like the human face, human personality is very complex. But describing someones personality in words is somewhat easier than describing his face. If you were asked to describe what a nice face looked like, you probably would have a difficul

41、t time doing so. But if you were asked to describe a nice person, you might begin to think about someone who was kind, considerate, friendly, warm and forth.There are many words to describe how a person thinks, feels and acts.

42、ords characterizing differences in peoples behavior. And many of us use this information as a basis for describing, or typing, his personality. Bookworms, conservatives, military types-people are described with such terms.People have always tried to type each other. Actors in early Greek drama wore
