Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. 45 That afternoon Molly almost danced along the street, as she walked home with her father from the station. They had s
27、een Mrs. Gibson and Cynthia off to London. She wished her stepmother would take herself off to London much more often. “Well now, Dad,“ she said, “Im going to have you all to myself for a whole week. You must be very obedient.“ “I hope you arent going to boss me, Molly. Youre walking me out of breat
28、h already. We mustnt pass Mrs. Goodmays in our hurry. “They crossed the street to speak to Mrs. Goodmays, one of the Doctors patients, “Were just been seeing my wife and her daughter off to London. Theyve gone up for a week.“ “Dear me, to London, and only for a week!“ Said Mrs. Goodmays, with surpri
29、se. “It seems hardly worth the packing. Itll be lonely for you, Molly, without your stepsister.“ “Yes,“ said Molly, suddenly feeling as if she ought to have taken this view of the case. “Ill miss Cynthia.“ “And you, Dr. Gibson, I hope you wont feel like widower once again. You must come and have sup
30、per with me one evening. What about Tuesday?“ Dr. Gibson felt a sharp blow on his leg from the toe of Mollys shoe, but even so he accepted the invitation, much to the old ladys satisfaction. A moment later Molly said to him, “How could you go and waste one of our precious evening! Weve only got five
31、 now. Ive been planning all sorts of things for us to do tonight.“ “What sort of things?“ “Oh, I dont know. Things you used to like. “she looked at him boldly. “Forbidden things now.“ Her fathers eyes lit up, but his face remained serious. “Im not going to be pulled down, Molly. With hard work and s
32、ensible guidance Ive reached a very fair height of civilized behavior, and there Im going to stay.“ “Oh, no, youre not. Were having bread and cheese for supper tonight, in armchairs in front of the TV ! And you shall wear your dressing-gown at breakfast tomorrow and every morning for a week ! And yo

37、nonverbal communication is one that you might not think about: space. Every person perceives himself to have a sort of invisible shield surrounding his physical body. When someone comes too close, he feels uncomfortable. When he bumps onto someone, he feels obligated to apologize. But the size of a
38、persons “comfort zone“ depends on his cultural ethnic origin. For example, in casual conversation, many Americans stand about four feet apart. In other words, they like to keep each other “at arms length“, People in Latin or Arab cultures, in contrast, stand very close to each other, and touch each
39、other often. If someone from one of those cultures stands too close to an American while in conversation, the American may feel uncomfortable and back away. When Americans are talking, they expect others to respond to what they are saying. To Americans, polite conversationalists empathize by display
40、ing expressions of excitement or disgust, shock or sadness. People with a “poker face “, whose emotions are hidden by a deadpan expression, are looked upon with suspicion. Americans also indicate their attentiveness in a conversation by raising their eyebrows, nodding, smiling politely and maintaini
41、ng good eye contact. Whereas some cultures view direct eye contact as impolite or threatening, Americans see it as a sign of genuineness and honesty. If a person doesnt look you in the eye, American might say, you should question his motives or assume that he doesnt like you. Yet with all the concer
42、n for eye contact, Americans still consider staring especially at strangers to be rude. 51 What the author discussed in the previous section is most probably about? （ A） Classification of nonverbal communication. （ B） The reasons why people should think about space. （ C） The relationship between com
43、munication and space. （ D） Some other cultural aspects of nonverbal communication. 52 How far people keep from each other while talking is closely associated with their （ A） origin （ B） culture （ C） custom （ D） nationality 53 When an Italian talks to an Arabian on informal occasions? （ A） He stands
44、about four feet away. （ B） Comfort zone does not exist. （ C） Keeping close enough is preferred. （ D） Communication barriers may emerge. 54 A “poker face“ in the second paragraph refers to a face which is _. （ A） attentive （ B） emotional （ C） suspicious （ D） expressionless 55 In a conversation betwee
45、n friends, Americans regard it as sincere and truthful to _. （ A） maintain direct eye contact （ B） hide emotions with a deadpan expression （ C） display excitement or disgust, shock or sadness （ D） raise their eyebrows, nod and smile politely 55 Attention to detail is something everyone can and shoul
46、d do especially in a tight job market. Bob Crossley, a human-resources expert notices this in the job applications that come across his desk every day. “Its amazing how many candidates eliminate themselves,“ he says. “Resumes arrive with stains. Some candidates dont bother to spell the companys name
47、 correctly. Once I see a mistake, I eliminate the candidate,“ Crossley concludes. “If they cannot take care of these details, why should we trust them with a job.?“ Can we pay too much attention to details? Absolutely. Perfectionists struggle over little things at the cost of something larger they w
48、ork toward. “To keep from losing the forest for the trees,“ says Charles Garfield, associate professor at the University of California, San Francisco, “we must constantly ask ourselves how the details we are working on fit into the larger picture. If they dont, we should drop them and move to someth
49、ing else.“ Garfield compares this process to his work as a computer scientist .at NASA. “The Apollo 1I moon launch was slightly off-course 90% of the time, says Garfield. “But a successful landing was still likely because we knew the exact coordinates of our goal. This allowed us to make adjustments as necessary.“ Knowing where we want to go helps us judge the importance of every task we u
