before i was ten months old. some say its a gift while others simply think i talk too much.as my thirties came to a close, i found myself reflecting on my life. im very happy and have no significant regrets. however, when i looked back on those times of difficulty, i saw a clear common denominator(特征); i didnt seem to know when to stop talking. whether it was hurting someones feelings, or having carelessly told a secret, the incident could have been avoided had i closed my mouth sooner. so i decided to practice the power of quiet.to take this step, i needed to understand how people could sit comfortably in a group and not talk. why does my husband feel completely content to say nothing in a conversation? hes highly intelligent and has wonderful opinions but hell sit quietly and just listen. even when hes asked a pointed question, hell answer with few words while still communicating effectively. what a talent!can you imagine being happy just listening? in surveying those i know who talk less than i do, i got two answersthey either didnt feel confident enough to speak up, or they just didnt feel the need to participate in the conversation. of course there were other reasons for not talking, but these were the two most popular answers.the first one didnt work for me. im just fine letting people know what i think about them, and hopefully it will make the conversation much more interesting. the second one didnt work either. i do feel the need to participate. i feel it physically like an electrical pulse through my body; sometimes its so strong that it causes me to behave badly in the form of interrupting or speaking in an unusually loud voice. i had to look further.an interesting thing happened on this journey to the power of quiet. during my weekly yoga class, it came to me like an answer so clear that the words rang in my head like soft, heavenly bells.i talked too much so people would know i cared about them. it was my way of taking care of those i love. i decided before my fortieth birthday, that from that day forward, those around me would know i loved them, and cared what they thought and felt, but i was going to practice the power of quiet. as my forty-second birthday approaches, i can say that deciding to talk less has been more about focusing on quality rather than quantity. ive found that listening more shows those who i care about that i really do care how they feel. now when i break in, it means more to them. oh, sure, i still have my short periods of talking too much, but for the most part this has been one resolution that i can call a success.41. the writer was determined to practice the power of quiet because of _. a. other peoples criticisms b. her reflections on her past life c. her mothers advice d. her age42. in paragraph 3 the writer mentions her husband mainly _. a. to show how one communicates effectively b. to explain the reason for his silence in a conversation c. to give her high opinion of his

the power of quiet b. try harder to prevent herself from talking too much c. find out other reasons why she should talk less d. survey people in other areas who talk little44. which of the following best describe the writers character? a. kind but pessimistic. b. selfless but proud. c. loving and active. d. stubborn and sensitive.45. the writers main purpose for writing this passage is to tell readers _. a. the importance of participation in conversation b. the reasons for communication problems c. the need to be concerned about other people d. the difficulty in achieving her goal of

study of families in the united states and china. the most frequent example was parents threatening to leave children alone in public unless they behaved. persuasion ranged from mentioning the support of the tooth fairy to telling children they would go blind unless they ate particular vegetables. another example was: “that was beautiful piano playing.” the study, published in the international journal of psychology, examined the use of “instrumental lying”-and found that such tactically-deployed falsehoods（策略性谎言）were used by a majority of parents in both the united states and china-based on interviews with about 200 families.the most commonly used lie-popular with both us and chinese families-was parents pretending to a child that they were going to walk away and leave the child to his or her tantrum(耍性子). “this wide-spread lie may relate to the universality of the challenge parents face in trying to leave a place against their childs wishes,” say the researchers. another lie that was common in both countries was the “false promise to buy a requested toy at some indefinite time in the future”. there were “untrue statements related to misbehavior”, which included: “if you dont behave, i will call the police,” and: “if you dont quiet down and start behaving, the lady over there will be angry with you.” and there are also some more astonishing lies recorded. under the category of “untrue statements related to leaving or staying” a parent was recorded as saying: “if you dont follow me, a kidnapper(绑架者) will come to kidnap you while im gone.” there were also lies motivated by protecting a childs feelings-labeled as “untrue statements related to positive feelings.” this included the optimistic: “your pet went to live on your uncles farm where he will have more space to run around.” a rather self-serving untruth was used for a quick getaway from a toy shop: “i did not bring money with me today. we can come back another day.” there was also a selection of lies relating to “fantasy characters”, also used to enforce good behavior, such as in the run-up to christmas.the study found no clear difference between the lies used by mothers and fathers, according to researchers, who were from psychology departments at the university of california san diego in the us, zhejiang normal university, jinhua in china and the university of toronto, canada. although levels of such “instrumental lying” were high in both countries, they were highest in china. the study found there was an acceptance of such lies among parents when they were used as a way of strengthening desirable social behavior. for example, the lie told to children that they would grow taller for every bite of broccoli（花椰菜）was seen as encouraging healthy eating habits. the study raises the longer-term issue of the impact on families of such lies. it suggests it could influence family relationships as children get older. the researchers, headed by gail d. heymana, anna s. hsua, genyue fub and kang leeac, concluded that this raises “important moral questions for parents about when, if ever, parental lying is justified（证明正当）”.50. the third paragraph is written to _. a. list different kinds of lies parents often use b. show how effectively parents lies work c. warn children of telling lies to parents d. offer advice on how to lie to children wisely51. the example of broccoli (paragraph 4) is used to _. a. tell theres no difference between lies used by fathers and mothers b. prove chinese parents tell more lies than american parents c. show some parents think “instrumental lying” is acceptable d. explain why “instrumental lying” is useful in helping kids behave52. which group does the lie “if you keep being rude, a policeman will come and put you into prison.” belong to? a. “untrue statements related to positive feelings.” b. “lies relating to fantasy characters.” c. “untrue statements related to leaving or staying.” d. “untrue statements related to misbehavior.”53. it can be inferred form the last paragraph that _. a. parents lies will do children good instead of harm b. parents should be cautious when they decide to lie to their kids c. the relationship between parents and children is now worse than before d. children from different family backgrounds have different attitudes toward lying54. this article is mainly about _. a. the phenomenon that american and chinese parents lie to children b.
