27、ty of their products The answer is quite simple, yet profound. 52 on years of statistical analysis, Deming was able to validate(证明 ) that 94 % of all failures are not because people dont want to do a good job.

32、cover what personality characteristics go along with success in intercultural experiences. Their findings have often been unclear or incomplete. But three characteristics stand out in their reports: patience, a sense of humor, and the awareness of being unclear. Patience, of course, is the ability t
33、o keep calm even when things do not go as one wants them to, or hopes they will, or has even been sure they will. Impatience sometimes brings improvements in relations with other people, but usually it does not. A person with a sense of humor is less likely to take things too seriously and more read
34、y to see the humor in his own reactions than a humorless person. The value of a sense of humor really needs to be paid more attention to. “The awareness of being unclear” is a more difficult concept than patience or a sense of humor. Foreigners often find themselves in situations that are unclear to
35、 the newcomers. That is, they do not know what is happening in the situation. Perhaps they do not understand the local language well enough, or they do not know how some system or organization works, or they cant be sure of different peoples roles in what is going on. “Its like I just got here from
36、the moon,” a Chinese graduate student who newly arrived in the United States said, “things are just so different here. ” 56. The passage mainly tells us_. A. some problems about communication. B. humor- an important thing in communication. C. some characteristics in communicating with foreigners. D.
37、 three useful ways of communicating with foreigners. 57. From the third paragraph, we can infer that a humorous person_. A. tends to treat everything carelessly B. is optimistic about things. C. likes making fun of others. D. is an impatient one . 58. The underlined part “The awareness of being uncl
38、ear” refers to “_”. A. knowing the meaning of an exact situation. B. not stating clearly what happens. C. realizing the possible misunderstanding D. being aware of the unclear situations. 59. What can we know from the passage A. It is necessary to learn a language before you go abroad. B Americans a
39、re used to the culture of other countries. C. Patience usually improves the relationship with others. D. To live in a foreign land, one should get fully prepared. 答案： B As I was reading a recent story in Slate on 20-somethings complaining about how the economy was ruining their life plans, I couldnt
40、 help but think the 20-somethings sounded like a bunch of spoiled children who grew up expecting everything to be easy for them. As a 20-something myself, I certainly share their disappointment: my husband and I probably wont be able to buy a house until were in our 40s, and we too are burdened by s
41、tudent loans (贷款 ). But why should it be any different Being young persons in America, shouldnt they take up all of the challenges and opportunities that this country offers Consider some of these views shared in the Slate story: Jennifer, 29, owner of a two-bedroom apartment with her husband, worri
42、es that she wont be able to have children for at least a decade because they cant afford to buy a house yet. I read that, and I thought, what planet is she living on where you need to own a house in order to have kids Has she ever visited a developing country, or even downtown areas in this one Home
43、 ownership is a luxury (奢华 ), not a fertility requirement. A 26-year-old in the story despairs that he cant afford to get a Ph.D. in literature. Well, that sounds a bit like expressing disappointment that no one will pay you to write poetry on the beach in Thailand for five years. Yes, its sad that
44、these young people feel so lost. But I think the problem is their extremely high expectations, not economic reality. Beth Kobliner, author of Get a Financial Life: Personal Finance in Your Twenties and Thirties, says that she thinks peoples expectations are slowly adjusting, but todays 20-somethings
45、 grew up at a time when everyones wealth appeared to be expanding. Their parents probably saw their home values rise along with their investments. “So you have people who have grown up in an environment where people had great expectations of what living well means,” says Kobliner. This recession (衰退
46、 ) will certainly play a role in forcing those expectations into more realistic group. In the meantime, it seems a lot better for our mental health to focus on being grateful - for our one-bedroom apartments, for living in modern cities, or perhaps just for being able to eat three meals a day - than
47、 on longing for some kind of luxury life. 60. What makes the author think the 20-somethings sound like a bunch of spoiled children A. They expect everything to be easy for them. B. They complain that the economy is spoiling their life plans. C. They are reluctant to face all of the challenges. D. Th
48、ey are burdened by student loans. 61. The underlined word “fertility” in Paragraph 3 probably means _. A. baby production B. pleasant C. baby comfort D. essential 62. Whats the authors attitude towards the 20-somthings with high expectation in Paragraph 5 A. Intolerant. B. Negative. C. Unbelieving. D. Understanding. 63. What is the best title for this passage A. How Young People Afford to Continue Their Study B. Why Young People Cant Afford to Buy a House C. When Young Peoples High Ho
