is this an important 21 in the failure of personal relationships? how often does it 22 broken homes? how often do we hear of a married couple who 23 to have communication ? it seems 24 must have gone wrong.differences in the opinions of two people give rise to 25 , and ways to reduce them are not easy to be 26 , but it is equally true to say that there should be a solution to every problem. part of the solution to human conflicts is to 27 misunderstanding.misunderstanding often arises from a 28 of communication. curiously enough, in a modern society where many means of communication such as the mobile phone have been developed, people are 29 faced with this problem. while there are more chances for personal contact, 30 through verbal（口头的）communication, many people find their listeners do not listen to them. it is 31 that something is wrong with their listening ability.people may wonder 32 their listening ability is not satisfying when their hearing ability is physically good. this is a basic mistake we often make. believing that hearing comes to us naturally, we think that listening does not require much 33 . however, experts in the field of communication are quick to 34 this belief. in their view, listening requires hard work and energy. when people are listening, they have quicker heartbeats. so they think good listening is not as 35 as it might seem. to become a good listener begins with concentration. if not, sometimes the listener tends to 36 part of what is being said. since each person has his own interests, when the speaker talks about something that is 37 no personal interest to him, he would “ 38 the talking”. 39 he might respond with gestures, his mind is wandering. this automatic control has its effect especially when the topic is 40 . 21. a. cause b. belief c. way d. opinion22. a. appeal to b. contribute toc. refer tod. belong to23. a. try b. preferc. fail d. manage24. a. anything b. nothingc. everything d. something25. a. conflictsb. solutionsc.

group discussion or stage program. therefore, inever knew what stage fear was.around four years ago,i receivedacall from theprincipal of our school to ask me to speakat a weekly“parents view”talk in the assembly（集会）thenext morning. after the call, my whole body became feverish and panic. the whole night, i could not sleep. many negative thoughts were coming. one of them was to callthe principalwith regret,and told him that i could not come. finally, i gathered some courage. i thought, if i missed this opportunity, surely,the school would never invite me again to any oftheir programs. so,i decided to go and speak.the next daywhen my turn came, my legs started shaking andmy mouth went dry. i was not aware of where i was standing andwhat i was reading. that was the day when i realized my biggestweakness: public speaking.after my speech, i met with the principal and explainedwhat happened to me. he told me that this happened to everyone. these symptoms were very common. even great speakersfaced the same things when they started. hesuggestedme comingagain to give a presentation for the teachers.for one month,i prepared and practiced for my presentation again and again. this time i was feeling comfortable. i gavethe presentation and it was appreciated by the principal as wellas the teachers. theyencouraged and praised my efforts.after a few months, our school organized a principals conference where 120 principals participated. our principal waskind enough to invite me as a guest speakeragain. i prepared andpracticed for this presentation day and night. my topic of thetalk was relationships. luckily,this went very well and was appreciated by the audience.after delivering this presentation successfully, i becamemore confident. i said to myself,“if i can speak in front of sucha learned audience, like principals who educate others, i can nowspeak in front of others too.”i started giving presentations in my firm, on various topicslike self motivation, personality development, personal excellence and presentation skills. now i alwayslook forward to the opportunity to give presentations. this hasbecome a passion for me.i learned that everything is possible if we have courage totake the first step. the saying goes:the journey of a thousand miles begins with one first step. take a risk to take that firststep.41. why didnt the author know what stage fear was? a. he was braveenoughby nature. b. he was used to speaking in public. c. he hadnoexperienceon the stage. d. he had attended many stage programs.42. how did the author feel after he received the principalsinvitation? a. confident. b. nervous. c. embarrassed. d. excited.43. after making a speech at the “parents view”talk,the authorcame to realize that _. a. he was not good at

tell people to be confident whatever happens d. encourage people to take the first step bravelybwhen travelling abroad, your safest bet is to limit gestures as much as possible. however, you may find that your gestures happen out of habit. understanding appropriate gestures of the country youre visiting may prevent you from communicating the wrong message. in north america, eye contact communicates to the speaker that youre interested and listening. in asia, people look away to concentrate on what the speaker is saying. taking the time togetyourselffamiliarwith the gestures of the country youre visiting will help you connect with the people of the foreign environment.gestures in brazilmuchlike the italian culture, a brazilian snaps his fingers（打响指）and uses exaggerated（夸张的）hand movements when stressing a statement. the sense of warmth and friendliness with each other is shown through the gesture of eye contact when communicating and standing close together in lineups or when talking to each other. communicating a greeting is more than the gesture of a handshake, but also involves the touch of the forearm.gestures in chinachinais affected by confucius way of thinking, which is reflected through its reserved culture. you communicate a greeting in china with the gesture of a slight nod and bow. to communicate respect, you keep your head lowered. in china, the gesture of standing close during a conversation prevents having to communicate with a raised voice. a person will communicate his surprise during a conversation with the gesture of breathing in air loudly, rather than a loud outburst.gestures in russiagestures considered common to americans may be considered rude in russia. the american gesture to communicate “okay”, with the forefinger and thumb touching and three fingers up, is considered rude in russia. looking at your watch is a rude gesture communicating impatience. russians also feel upset about the gesture of communicating directions by pointing.gestures in indiagestures usedin india represent its traditional culture. in india, the gesture of holding out the hand to communicate giving or receiving must be done with the right hand as a person in india uses his left hand for washing. the gesture of communicating respect at a religious ceremony is done by removing your shoes. the proper way of communicating direction is to use either the whole hand or by using your chin. the proper form of communicating a greeting is to press the palms（手掌）together with fingers upward and say, “namaste”.46. in china people stand close while talking to _. a. avoid a loud voiceb. show their surprise c. exchange greetingsd. express their respect47. which of the following is considered bad manners in india? a.receiving gifts with the left hand. b. using the whole hand to show the way. c. removing shoes at religious ceremonies. d. pressing the palms together upward while greeting.48. in which country is looking at the watch considered impolite during communication ? a. brazil.b. russia.c. india.d. china.49. the passage is mainly about _. a. some traveling tips for visitors b. the advantages of using body language c. some gestures in communicationd. the comparison between different culturescbusiness is often seen as the “bad guy” in environmental matters because people feel that businesses will do anything to make a profit. unluckily, this is too often the case. many business people, in fact, believe that they cannot make a profit and be kind to the environment at the same time. however, it does not necessarily have to be this way. using common business strategies, companies have found ways to become environmentally friendly, or “green”, and increase their profits at the same time.one such strategy that businesses use is known as “product differentiation.” this term means that a company advertises the fact that its product is different from other similar products. a number of environmentally friendly companies have done this successfully. for example, in marketing their products, organic food companies emphasize the organic aspect. that is, they highlight the fact that no chemicals have been used to grow the food, and so it is better for consumers health and for the environment. these days, many consumers are looking for products that have no negative health or environmental effects.another “green” business strategy that has been successful is waste reduction. many companies have regarded waste and pollution as a necessary part of the production process. they have done little to prevent either waste or pollution, unless there are laws that force them to. however, other companies have realized that there are surely some advantages to reducing waste and pollution. less waste and less pollution means a more efficient production process. the 3m company in the united states is a good example of this. in 1975, it started a program that rewarded employees for successful ideas about how to reduce waste and prevent pollution. this program has helped the company pollute much less and save more than half a billion dollars.some companies have taken the idea of waste prevention even further and have become“zero-waste” companies. that means they produce no waste at all because everything from the production process is used or recycled. asahi breweries of japan, for example, sends the waste from its beer production to farms to be used as animal feed. the plastic and cardboard pieces left over from packaging are all recycled, too.finally, companies can become “greener” by planning for a “greener”future. for example, two energy companies, royal dutch/shell and british petroleum, have started to invest in renewable energy sources, such as solar, wind, or hydrogen energy. shell is also working with daimler-chrysler, an automobile company, and the government of iceland on a special project to make iceland the first country with a hydrogen-based economy. other multinational companies have also realized that global warming and climate change could hurt their business, and they have decided to cut down the amount of harmful gases that their factories produce. of these, dupont is one of the leaders. it aims by 2020 to reduce harmful gases by 65 percent from the2010 amounts. it also plans to limit its energy use to2010 levels and to use renewable sources of energy for 10 percent of all the energy it uses.50. how can businessmen make profits without doing much harm to the environment? a.by carrying out some strategies. b. by marketing their products. c. by competing with other companies.d. by advertising the strengths of products.51.which of the following statements is true according to paragraph 3? a. many companies care little about reducing waste despite the laws. b. all companies actively participate in the waste reduction campaign. c.some companies have realized that they can benefit from less pollution. d. employees in the 3m company are rewarded for any idea about pollution.52.asahi breweriesis an example of companies that _. a.use animal feed to make beerb.make no profits c.have reduced waste and pollutiond. produce no waste at
