Education today is not just

26、 a high school diploma or a college degree. Many adults are not interested in going to college. They are interested in other kinds of learning.

27、to learn about a new field. It also gives them a chance to improve their old skills or to learn new ones,Secretaries, mechanics, and barbers can take classes to improve their work skills. Nurses can take classes to increase their knowledge of nursing. If they know more or learn more, then they can g

28、et a better job or earn more money.Continuing education classes give some adults the chance to learn new skills. There is usually a large variety of classes to choose from, typing, foreign cooking, photography, auto repair, furniture repair, or swimming. These are only some of the classes available.

29、Some adults take classes for fun or because the class will be useful for them. For example, they can choose a class in almost any language, Chinese, Spanish or English as a second language. There are classes in first aid or classes in sewing. There are also many other type of classes to choose from.

30、Other adults take continuing education classes to improve their own lives because they want to feel better about themselves. Overweight people can find exercise classes. Others can learn how to be good parents, or how to get along with other people.There are many opportunities for adults to continue

31、 their learning. Almost any community college or public school system has a continuing education program. There are classes in schools, community buildings, or churches. Most classes are in the evening, so working people can attend. The classes are usually small, and they are inexpensive.Thousands o

32、f people register for continuing education classes each year. They receive no diploma or certificate, and no grade for most of the classes they attend.

This is particular true of personal space needs.Donald Keene notes the fact that in the Japanese la

37、nguage there is no word for privacy. To the Japanese, privacy exists in terms of his house. He considers this area as his own ,and he dislikes invasions of it.Dr. Hall sees this as a reflection of the Japanese concept of space. Westerners, he believed, see space as the distance between objects; to t

38、hem, space is empty. The Japanese, on the other hand, see space as having as much meaning as their flower arrangement and art.In public the Arabs are crowded together. In privacy, they prefer a great deal of space. The traditional or wealthy Arab house is large and empty, with family often crowded t

39、ogether in one small area of it. The Arabs do not like to be alone, and even in their spacious houses they will huddle together.The Arabs like to touch his companion. To deny a friend ones breath is to feel ashamed. The Japanese, in their closeness, preserve a formality and cool dignity.Along with t

40、his closeness, there is a pushing and shoving in the Arab world that many Westerners find uncomfortable, even unpleasant. To an American, for example, there are personal boundaries even in a public place. When he is waiting in line, he believes that his place there is his alone, and may not be invad

41、ed by another. The Arab has no concept of privacy in a public place, and if he can push his way into a line, he feels perfectly within his rights to do so.Hall points out that an Arab needs at times to be alone. To do this, he simply cuts off the lines of communication. He retreats into himself, men

42、tally and spiritually, and this withdrawal is respected by his companions. If an American were with an Arab who withdrew in this way, he would regard it as impolite, as lack of respect, even as an insult.（分数：10.00）(1).We can learn from the passage that _.（分数：2.00）A.Japanese society is very closeB.We

43、sterners and Japanese have the same concept of spaceC.Westerners and Japanese have different idea with regard to personal spaceD.Japanese have no idea about privacy(2).According to Para. 4, Arabs_.（分数：2.00）A.like a large house, so that each individual can have plenty of spaceB.dislike a large house,

45、en talkingB.two Arabs talking to each other tend to stand very closeC.both Arabs and Japanese tend to crowd togetherD.Japanese, in their closeness, like to maintain formality(4).If an Arab wishes to be alone, he usually _.（分数：2.00）A.unplugs the telephoneB.hangs off the telephone suddenlyC.goes into

47、rences in personal space needs can lead to misunderstanding between people of different culture九、Text 3(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Women are quite often competent drivers, but they are very seldom consistently first-class. At best they are a mild hazard, at worst potentially lethal. A wise male driver will alwa

48、ys give them plenty of road and still be on the look-out for the unpredictable to happen. This deficiency has nothing to do with their lack of ability to cope with the mechanical complexities of the vehicle; it is due to an inherent, characteristic which, in certain other circumstances, may be highl

49、y desirable, but which, behind the wheel, is deadly. It is their lust for talking. Women together in a car succumb to this need and when they talk they look into each others faces. Simple words are insufficient. It is necessary for them to see the expression of their partners and so read the meaning the words leave unsaid. When talking instead of listening, they look to estimate the reaction their words have had. Thus two women in the front of a car repeatedly distract each others attention from the road and represent a
