But one in

18、sidious form continues to thrive: alphabetism. This refers to discrimination against those whose surnames begin with a letter in the lower half of the alphabet.It has long been known that a taxi firm called AAA cars has a big advantage over Zodiac cars when customers thumb through their phone direct

19、ories. Less well known is the advantage that Adam Abbott has in life over Zoe Zysman. English names are fairly evenly spread between the halves of the alphabet. Yet a large number of top people have surnames beginning with letters between A and K.s predeces three top cThus the American president and

20、 vice-president have surnames starting with B and C respectively; and 26 of George Bush had surnames in the first half of the alphabet against just 16 in the second half. Even more striking, six of the seven heads of government of the G7 rich countries are alphabetically advantaged. The world banker

21、s are all close to the top of the alphabet, even if one of them really uses Japanesec haracters, as are the world fisv e richest men (Gates, Buffett, Allen, Ellison and Albrecht ).Can this merely be coincidence？ One theory, dreamt up in all the spare time enjoyed by the alphabetically disadvantaged,

22、 is that the rot sets in early. At the start of the first year in infant school, teachers seat pupils alphabetically from the front, to make it easier to remember their names.

23、tive teachers. At the time the alphabetically disadvantaged may think they have had a lucky escape. Yet the result may be worse qualifications, because they get less individual attention, as well as less confidence in speaking publicly.The humiliation continues. At university graduation ceremonies,

24、the ABCs proudly get their awards first; by the time they reach the Zysmans most people are literally having a ZZZ. Shortlists for job interviews, election ballot papers, and lists of conference speakers: all tend to be drawn up alphabetically, and their recipients lose interest as they plough throu

What can we infer from the first three paragraphs?A ) In both East and West, name

26、s are essential to success.B ) The alphabet is to blame for the failure of Zoe Zysman.C) Customers often pay a lot of attention to companies names.D)Some form of discrimination is too subtle to recognize.C45.

27、tsB)alphabetically disadvantaged students often escape from classC)teachers should pay attention to all of their studentsD) students should be seated according to their eyesightB46.

30、urce of the stimuli of the dream in question by any sort of plastic symbolism. Indeed, Scherner holds that the dream-phantasy has a certain favorite symbol for the organism as a whole: namely, the house.

31、; it may also employ a whole series of houses to designate a single organ; for example, very long streets of houses for the intestinal stimulus. In other dreams particular parts of the house may actually represent particular regions of the body, as in the headache-dream, when the ceiling of the room

32、 (which the dream sees covered with disgusting toad-like spiders) represents the head.Quite apart from the symbol of the house, any other suitable object may be employed to represent those parts of the body which excite the dream.
