14、East Asia are often surprised and puzzled by how Asian cultures and customs differ from those in the United States.

15、gin a conversation with a stranger by asking personal questions about family, home or work. Such questions are thought to be friendly whereas they might be considered offensive in the United States. On the other hand, people in most Asian cultures are far more guarded about expressing their feelings
16、 publicly than most Americans are. 31Openly displaying annoyance or anger, yelling, arguing loudly and so forth is considered ill-mannered in countries such as Japan. Many East Asians prefer to hold their emotions in check and instead express themselves with great politeness. They try not to be blun
17、t and avoid making direct criticisms. In fact, they often keep their differences of opinion to themselves and merely smile and remain silent rather than engage in a confrontation. By comparison, Americans are often frank about displaying both positive and negative emotions on the street and in other
18、 public places. Americans visiting Asia should keep in mind that such behavior may cause offense. A major difference between American culture and most East Asian cultures is that in East Asia the community is more important than the individual. 32Most Americans are considered a success when they mak

21、fect how the body works. No substance that has the power to do this is completely safe. 33Drugs are approved only after tests have demonstrated that they are relatively safe when used as directed and when their benefits outweigh their risks. Thus some very dangerous drugs are approved because they a
22、re necessary to treat serious illnesses. Many people suffer ill-effects from drugs called side-effects even though they take the drugs exactly as directed. 34The human population contains a great variety of genetic variation. But drugs are tested on just a few thousand people. When a particular drug

28、t least one group of happy commuters. These are the people who travel under the bridge instead of on it.

29、 the morning they can have breakfast in the coffee shop. And in the evening they can order a drink in the bar while looking at the beautiful scenery.

34、m activity. 32The restful state not only allows the body to repair and restore itself, but it has a calming effect on the consciousness. How to achieve this state of relaxation, however, is a matter of opinion. 33A recent report by Dr. David Holmes of the University of Kansas in the journal American
35、 Psychologist said that simply sitting in an armchair has just as many beneficial characteristics for the body as meditation does. Researchers of other relaxation techniques disagree. 34These experts believe that more structured techniques, such as meditation, lead to a condition of deep relaxation.
36、 The debate goes on, but one thing appears to be clear: the relaxation response can be reached by a number of methods, and the methods themselves are not as important as getting there. One day, one method may work best; on another day, an alternative method may be more appropriate. 35Once you are aw

What will happen when a person is in a state of deep “relaxation”? 33. What did Dr. David Holmes say about “relaxation” in American Psychologist? 34. What do the opponents o
39、f Dr. David Holmes believe? 35. What does the speaker think of “relaxation techniques” such as meditation? 10 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 细节题。短文列举 了 relaxation给身体带来的一系列变化，然后总结说： “这种放松状态 ?还能对意识起到镇定的效果。 ”因此 D为答案。 【知识模块】 听力 11 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 细节题。短文提到，堪萨斯州大学的 Dr. David Holmes最近在发表于 American Psychologist上的一篇报告中说： “

Sue, on the other hand, had a more difficult time satisfying her first client and she took several additional months to actually complete the project. However, she just laughed when she heard that the boss had made the assignments purposely. Over th
45、e next two years John worked reluctantly with each assignment and problem that he encountered. 28Sue accepted each assignment cheerfully and when problems arose she responded with her characteristic, “No problem, I can handle it.” Although Sue took longer to complete her projects than John and both
