A
Gestures are the silent language of every culture. We point a finger or move another part of the body to show what we want to say. It is important to know the body language of every country or we may be misunderstood.
In the US, people greet each other with a handshake in a formal discussion. The handshake must be firm. If the handshake is weak, it is a sign of weakness or unfriendliness. Friends may place a hand on the other's arm or shoulder. Some people, usually women, greet each other with a hug .
Space is important to Americans. When two people talk to each other, they usually stand about 2.5 feet away and at an angle, so they are not facing each other directly. Americans get uncomfortable when a person stands too close. They will move back to have their space. If Americans touch another person by accident, they say, "Pardon me." or "Excuse me."
Americans like to look at the other in the eyes when they are talking. If you don't do so, it means you are bored, hiding something, or are not interested. When you stare at someone, however, it is not polite.
For Americans, thumbs-up means "yes", "very good" or "well done". Thumbs-down means the opposite. To call a waiter, one might put up one hand to head level or above. To show you want the check, make a movement with your hands as you are signing a piece of paper. It is all right to point at things but not at people with the hand and index finger(食指). Americans shake their index fingers at children when they scold them and pat them on the head when they admire them.
Learning a culture's body language is sometimes confusing(困惑的). If you don't know what to do, the safest thing to do is to smile.
31. When you shake hands with an American, you should _______ .
A. shake his / her hand firmly
B. put your hands on his / her shoulder
C. shake his / her hand gently
D. give him / her a hug afterward
32. In the US, people usually _______ if you stand too close to them.
A. feel friendly B. get uncomfortable
C. keep still D. hit you angrily
33. If you talk with an American friend, it's polite to _______ .
A. stare at him / her B. look at the ground
C. look at him / her in the eyes D. look here and there
34. When an American gives you the thumbs-up, he, in fact _______ .
A. means that you are number one B. wants to please you
C. needs to call a waiter D. expresses his satisfaction to you
35. What's the main idea of this passage
A. People greet each other by shaking hands in America.
B. Every country has their own gestures.
C. Learning a culture's body language is very important and necessary.
D. It is all right to point at things but not at people with the hand and index finger.

1970 was World Conservation Year. The United Nations wanted every one to know that the world is in danger. They hoped the governments would act quickly in order to “conserve” nature. Here is one example of the problem. At one time there were 1,300 different plants, trees and flowers in Holland, but now only 866 remain. The others have been destroyed by modern man and his technology. We are changing the earth, the air and water, and everything that grows and lives. We can’t live without these things. If we continue like this, we shall destroy ourselves.
What will happen in the future Perhaps it is more important to ask “What must we do now ” The people who will be living in the world of tomorrow are the young of today. A lot of them know that con servation is necessary. Many are helping to save our world. They plant trees, build bridges across rivers in forests, and so on. In a small town in the United States a large group of girls cleaned the banks of 11 kilometers of their river. Young people may hear abut conservation through something called “No one’s going to change our world, which was made by the Beatles, Cliff Richard and other singers. The money from it will help to conserve wild animals.

Some years ago industries had more freedom than they have now,and they did not need to be as careful as they must today.They did not need to worry a lot about the safety of the new products that they developed.They did not have to pay much attention to the health and safety of the people who worked for them. Often new products were dangerous for the people who used them,often conditions in the work place had very bad effects on the health of the workers.
Of course sometimes there were real disasters which attracted the attention of governments and which showed the need for changes.Also scientists who were doing research into the health of workers sometimes produced information which governments could not ignore.At such times,there were inquiries(调查)into the causes of the disasters or the problems.New safety rules were often introduced as a result of these inquiries,however,the new rules came too late to protect the people who died or who became seriously ill.
Today many governments have special departments which protect customers and workers. In the U.S., for example, there is a department which examines new planes and gives warnings about possible problems. It also makes the rules that aircraft producers must follow.Another department controls the foods and drugs that companies sell. .A third department looks at the places where people work , and then reports any companies that are breaking the laws which protect the health and safety of workers. Of course, new government departments and new laws cannot prevent every accident or illness,but they are having some good results.Our work places are safer and cleaner than before.The planes and cars which we use for travel are better.Producers are thinking more about the safety and health of the people who buy and use their products.
41.The main topic of the passage is ________________.
A.conditions in the work place.
B.the freedom of industries in the past.
C.changes in industrial production.
D.the safety and health of workers and customers.
42. We can infer(推断)from the passage that in the past _____________.
A. workers often got ill because of the poor working conditions.

D. industries were as careful in management as they are today.
43. It is said indirectly in the passage that _______________.
A. governments and companies had different opinions about the safety of products.
B. governments paid little attention to the safety of products.

阅读下列短文,根据短文内容回答问题。
American Thomas Schelling and Israeli-American Robert Aumann will share the 2005 Nobel Prize in economics. Both men have greatly influenced the way conflict and business negotiations(谈判) are carried out.
The two men are being honored for their work in developing an economic idea. It is called game theory.
Game theory began as the study of decision-making in competitive situations, like games. John von Neumann and Oskar Morgenstern linked the theory of games with economic activities more than sixty years ago.
In the nineteen fifties, John Nash developed an idea ___________ the Nash equilibrium(平衡). The Nash equilibrium is the point where all sides in a competitive situation believe they have been given the best offer they will ever get. He proved this with mathematical methods.
Mr Nash won the Nobel Prize in economics with two other men in nineteen ninety-four.
Mr Schelling used the idea of game theory to study real-life problems, such as the arms competition between the United States and the Soviet Union forty years ago. He was interested in what influenced negotiating groups. He showed how one side might decide to harm its interests for a short period of time to make gains over a longer period. Mr Schelling also used game theory to show how people become divided by race. He found that divided societies can result even among persons mostly willing to live near people of another race.
Mr Aumann developed game theory mathematically so that it can be useful for different areas of study. He showed that peaceful cooperation can provide good results for all competitors in a game over a long period. This is true even among competitors with a temporary conflict of interest. Mr Aumann also considered how reasonable decisions are made among groups. He showed that knowing what competitors know is important to decision-making.
The work of both men has influenced areas of study other than economics. International negotiators, military planners, business leaders and biologists use methods developed by Mr Schelling and Mr Aumann.
Mr Schelling , an American, is a retired professor of the University of Maryland. Mr Aumann is a citizen of both the Untied States and Israel. He is a retired professor of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

Some think it necessary to do so. Firstly, it's more effective to study with a teacher's help than by themselves. Secondly, you can have more chances to communicate with teachers(there are more interaction between students and teachers.) . Besides, you can make up for what you miss or fail to understand in classes on weekdays.
Others think it unnecessary. For one thing, students can easily form the habit of dependence. For another, students need time for rest and recreation at weekend. What's worse, attending training classes or hiring tutors even causes some students not to listen attentively in their regular classes.
In my opinion, whether a training class or tutor is needed just depends. If you are really very weak at or interested in a certain subject, maybe it's OK for you. But be sure to choose a good and suitable class or teacher, otherwise it would be a waste of time and money.
