50) merely signs of the system's failure, of opportu-nity denied or not taken, of things to be elimi-nated. We have no pride in our growinginterdependence, in the fact that our system can serve others, that we are able to help those in
55) need; empty boasts from the past make us ashamed of our present achievements, make us try to forget or deny them, move away from them. There is no honor but in the Wonderlandrace we must all run, all trying to win, none
60) winning in the end(for there is no end).

这个应该是要选可以做到以下这些事的人吧

所以选了c

第一及第九题分别选了B跟E,似乎是因为我误以为该篇作者并未加入态度,再讲新与旧观念的差别,并介绍新观念的影响,后来仔细瞧瞧,好像在LINE20的BUT是作者态度的转折点,不知是不是这样呢?请NN们帮我们看看,先说声谢谢啦!

第五及第六题真费解,只能喊救命了!!
