Researchers identified the most typical gesture of embarrassment as a downward stare to one side while partially covering the face and either smirking (假笑) or making faces.The same subjects then participated (参加) in a “dictator game,” which is used to measure altruism (利他主义). Each participant was handed 10 raffle tickets (兑奖券) and asked to keep a share of the tickets and give the rest to a partner. Those who gave away more of their raffle tickets turned out to be the ones who had displayed greater levels of embarrassment in their videos.The findings showed that embarrassment levels reflected a persons tendency to be pro-social, and that participants viewed embarrassed people as more trustworthy. “Our data suggests embarrassment is a good thing, not something you should fight,” said study researcher Matthew Feinberg.Embarrassed people are viewed as more trustworthy and therefore more likely to be better friends. Therefore, “you want to work with them more,” Feinberg said. “You feel comfortable trusting them.”The researchers noted that the shy, moderate type of embarrassment that they studied should not be confused with a social anxiety disorder. It also should not be confused with shame, which is associated（联系）with serious moral（道德）wrongdoings.24. If a person feels embarrassed, he may _.A. look sideways and downwardsB. cover his face completelyC. smile in a pleasant wayD. burst into laughter loudly25. In the “dictator game,” embarrassed people proved to be more _.A. emotionalB. generousC. friendlyD. easygoing26. Which of the following does NOT cause embarrassment according to the passage?A.

But these lessons are among the most difficult to teach.Enter KidZania, an internationally praised and truly unique childrens theme park that makes life a little easier for parents.KidZania is not a traditional theme park in almost any sense of the word there are no roller coasters (过山车) or merry-go-rounds in sight. There are, however, plenty of attractions and activities that will keep children busy, active, engaged and excited all day.What makes it so much fun is that its a kid-sized city complete with restaurants, banks, grocery stores（杂货店) and hospitals where the kids get to be adults, doing the things most of us do on any normal day.They start by picking one of nearly 100 “careers” and learning about it. Then, they put on their uniform and are ready to work and earn KidZania dollars (“Kidzos”).Most activities are universal but some are localized to reflect the distinct flavors and personality of the country and region where the park is located and to keep it real for the kids.Kids get paid for every job they do, which helps them explore the mysteries of managing money. Kidzos in hand, they can spend it or save it. If they run short of money, theyll have to find a way to earn some.Each KidZania city is planned in amazing detail, even including real world brands that help sponsor (赞助) the city and keep it running. I was a littlewaryof all the popular corporate (公司的) logos, but the brands werent pushed at all. They are there to reinforce (加强) the “real city” feeling by mixing it with things kids recognize.KidZania employs senior citizens who give the park a homey feel and help put children at ease. Management also employs the disabled, whether blind, deaf or wheelchair-bound. Besides making for a more realistic city, this teaches children about those with different abilities and gives them an opportunity（机会) to spend time with people they might otherwise have stared at or treated less than kindly.Socialization(社会化) is an important part of KidZania, just as it is throughout childhood. The KidZania experience empowers kids, giving them the confidence to be their best selves, and the inspiration to be great global citizens. And its part of what makes KidZania such an amazing place for families and children.28. KidZania is unique in that _.A. it has no entertainment (娱乐) facilitiesB. it includes lots of localized activitiesC. it offers kids chances to learn through workingD. it employs many seniors and disabled people29.

Childrens theme park KidZania is set up to _.A. prepare them to be good citizens in the futureB. provide them with a place to have a good timeC. make them aware (意识) of their parents hardshipD. assist them in building a good relationship with parents31. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. Children Do Part-time Jobs at a Theme ParkB. A Theme Park Pushes Kids to Be Grown-upsC. KidZania Theme Park Makes Aadults Life EasierD. Kids Get to Be Adults at KidZania Theme Park D About 30 years ago, I left Cuba for the United States with my son. After getting settled finally in Brunswick, New Jersey, I enrolled (注册) my son in kindergarten. Several weeks later, my sons teacher asked me to meet him at his office. In the teachers office, and exchange of greetings was followed by his questions: “Is your son mentally retarded (弱智的)？Does he suffer from any kind of mental disability?” Was he talking about my wonderful Scola? NO, no, it cant be. What a helpless, lonely moment! I told him that Scola was a quiet, sweet little boy, instead.I asked him why he was asking me all these questions. My son could not follow the teachers directions, he told me, and thus, Scola was disrupting the class. Didnt he know my son did not speak English yet? He was angry; “Why hasnt your son been taught to speak English? Dont you speak English at home?” No, I didnt speak English at home, I replied. I was sure my son would learn English in a couple of months, and I didnt want him to forget his native language.Well, wrong answer! What kind of person would not speak in English to her son at home and at all time? “Are you one of those people who come to this country to sav
