27、 room is small but quite pleasant. I must get some posters for the walls, though. I met a few fellow students at supper (The food was awful). They all look much younger than me. They are, of course! Oct. 07 Lectures began last Monday. So far they havent been very interesting (except for the man who
28、gives lectures on drama). Personally, Id rather go to the library and read, but I have to attend ten lectures a week. Those are the “rules”! Well, at least you meet people there.

34、ike was up Mount Annapurna, in Asias snow-capped Himalayas. At 26, 545 feet, its peak is the 10th highest in the world. It is the mountain that inspired him to start climbing. “It tends to be the trickiest, the most dangerous, ” said Viesturs, “Theres no simple way to climb it. There are threatening
35、 avalanches (雪崩 ) and ice falls that protect the mountain.” In high school, Viesturs read French climber Maurice Herzogs tale of climbing the icy Annapurna. Herzogs story was of a lot of difficulty and near-death experiences. Viesturs was hooked right away. Viesturs got his start on Washingtons Moun
36、t Rainier in 1977, guiding hikes in the summer. Fifteen years ago, he set out to walk up to the worlds highest peaks. Finally, hes done. The pioneering climber talks about mountains as if they were living creatures that should be treated with respect. “You have to use all of your senses, all of your
37、 abilities to see if the mountain will let you climb it,” said Viesturs. “If we have the patience and the respect, and if were here at the right time, under the right circumstances (情况 ), they allow us to go up, and allow us to come down. ” Whats next for a man who cant stop climbing “Im going to hu
38、g my wife and kids and kind of kick back and enjoy the summer. ” says Viesturs. But for a man whos climbed the worlds 14 tallest mountains, he will probably soon set off on yet another adventure. 59. What record has Ed Viesturs set A.

42、ture. 答案： 59-62 BCBC C It is a lot of trouble to learn a new language. When we go to all that trouble, we certainly want to be understood. But understanding is based on more than speech. Sometimes misunderstanding comes not from the wrong words, but from the wrong style. In our own country, we learn
43、 the style for politeness. But this polite style may be misunderstood in another country. This can cause unexpected difficulties. Since you have spent so much effort learning this new language, it is sensible and practical to learn the politeness rules also. Even if you think some of the customs are
44、 foolish, learning them can help you to be clearly understood. In your country, is it considered polite to listen quietly to other people without any change of expression on the face If this is the style you have learned, perhaps you should watch two Americans talking. Notice how the person who is l
45、istening will have frequent changes of expression. The listener may also make little remarks while the other person is talking. These little remarks may be one word, like “Really ” or they may just be a little sound, like “Uhhuh” or “Mmm.” This is the way American listeners show that they are listen
46、ing in a friendly way. This is why Americans get uneasy when the listener is silent and shows no change of expression. In the American style of speaking, an unmoving face often means that the listener is unfriendly, or perhaps even angry. Sometimes people from two countries are uncomfortable with ea
47、ch other for very small reasons. Here is an example: Americans think that perspiration odor is not polite. In fact, they worry so much about this subject that they spend a great deal of money on deodorants (除臭剂 ) and dry cleaning and washing their clothes. If a foreign student does not follow the sa
48、me rule, Americans may be disturbed and think the foreigner is not nice. The problem can be especially troublesome because Americans are so embarrassed about this subject that they do not even like to talk about it, so they are not likely to tell that person why they are uneasy. 63. If you want to be clearly understood in another country, besides the language, you should also learn _. A. its common knowledge B. its style C. its wrong words D. how to make a speech 64. Which of the
