The time may vary from place to place, but usually it is held from four to seven. After the workday is finished, office workers in large cities and small towns take a relaxing pause and do not go directly home. They head off instead for the nearest bar or pub to be with friends, co-workers and colleagues. Within minutes the pub is filled to capacity with businessmen and secretaries, office clerks and stock executives. They gather around the bar like birds around a fountain or forest animals around a watering hole and chat about the trifles of office life or matters more personal. This is their desert garden, the place to relieve the days stress at the office.At these happy hours, social binding occurs between people who share the same workplace or similar professions. They may chat about each other or talk about a planned project that has yet to meet a deadline. In this sense, these places become extensions of the workplace and constitute a good portion of ones social life.11.

People exchange work experiences at happy hours.Question 16-20 are based on the following passage: We use both words and gestures to express our feelings, but the problem is that these words and gestures can be understood in different ways.It is true that a smile means the same thing in any language. So does laughter or crying. There are also a number of striking similarities in the way different animals 3show the same feelings. Dogs, tigers and humans, for example, often show their teeth when they are angry. This is probably because they are born with those behavior patterns.Fear is another emotion that is shown in much the same way all over the world. In Chinese and in English literature, a phrase like “ he went pale and begin to tremble” suggests that the man is either very afraid or he has just got a very big shock. However, “he opened his eyes wide” is used to suggest anger in Chinese whereas in English it means surprise. In Chinese surprise can be described in a phrase like “they stretched out their tongues!” Sticking out your tongue in English is an insulting gesture or expresses strong dislike.Even in the same culture, people differ in ability to understand and express feelings. Experiments in America have shown that women are usually better than men at recognizing fear, anger, love and happiness on peoples faces. Other studies show that older people usually find it easier to recognize or understand body language than younger people do.16. According to the passage, _.a. we can hardly understand what peoples gestures mean.b. we can not often be sure what people mean when they describe their feelings in words or gestures.c. words can be better understood by older peopled. gestures can be understood by most of the people while words can not17. Peoples facial expressions may be misunderstood because_.a. people of different ages may have different understandingb. people have different culturesc. people of different sex may understand a gesture in a different wayd. people of different countries speak different languages18. In the same culture, _.a. people have different ability to understand and express feelings.b. people may have the same understanding of somethingc. people never fail to understand each otherd. people are equally intelligent19. From this passage, we can conclude_.a. words are used as frequently as gesturesb. words are often found difficult to understandc. words and gestures are both used in expressing feelingsd. gestures are more efficiently used than words20. The best title for this passage may be_.a. Words and Feelings b. Words, Gestures and Feelingsc. Gestures and Feelings d. Culture and UnderstandingQuestions 21-25 are based on the following passage.The growth of population during the past few centuries is no proof that population will continue to grow straight upward toward infinity and doom. On the contrary, demographic(人口统计学的 ) history offers evidence that population growth has not 4been at all constant. According to paleo-ecologist Edward Deevey, the past million years show three momentous changes. The first, a rapid increase in population around one million B.C., followed the innovations of tool-making and tool-using. But when the new power from the use of tools had been exploited, the rate of world population growth fell and became almost stable.The next rapid jump in population started perhaps 10,000 years ago, when men began to keep herds, plow and plant the earth. Once again when initial productivity gains had been absorbed, the rate of population growth abated.These two episodes suggest that the third great change, the present rapid growth, which began in the West between 250 and 350 years ago, may also slow down when or if technology begins to yield fewer innovations. Of course, the current knowledge revolution may continue without foreseeable end. Either way to popular belief in constant geometric growthpopulation can be expected in the long run to adjust to productivity.21. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?a.

What is found to have close relationship with rapid increase in population?a. War between 2 countries.b. Ways discovered to increase productivity.c. Migration from a continent to another continent.d. A new religion beginning to be accepted by people.24. What can be concluded when the current tide of knowledge revolution recedes?a. Productivity will rise.b. Productivity will receive no impact.c. Population growth will slow down.d. Population growth will become accelerated.25. What is the concept most people have on population growth?a. The population is always in constant geometric growth.b. Rapid growth is followed by a decline.c. Decelerated growth is followed by a decline.d. No growth at all.Questions 26-30 are based on the following advertisements.Male advertisers Female advertisers1 MALE, aged 25, WLTM female, n/s, 20-30 for friendship, possible romance.
