adult visitors from abroad.59. when you go off-piste skiing, the following is necessary except _.a. a shovel b. a medical box c. a gps locatord. a guideb its what people who dont know each other talk about on elevators. and not about the weather at all. chatting about the weather with strangers is about emotional comfort (舒适，安慰).when someone says “beautiful day today, isnt it?” as you settle into that narrow elevator space, or at the bus stop, or waiting in line at the supermarket, the conversation is about feelings. the person is speaking to feel more comfortable with you and offering you a chance to feel more comfortable with him or her.being in close proximity with strangers creates interpersonal tension. we cant help it. tension automatically seeks resolution. what will you do? do you notice the person now only a short distance away, or pretend not to notice? avoidance is one strategy: never make eye contact and act as if nobody is there, even when your feelings tell you. in a supermarket checkout line you might leaf through a magazine. on elevators, we often avoid others by looking up at the floor numbers.the other strategy is to break the tension by noticing the other person. it starts with eye contact. then we have a choice: smile, nod, make a remark or strike up a conversation. if we choose to talk, the most non-controversial (非争议的) subject to talk about is the weather. a remark about the weather evokes (唤起) agreement and feelings of sympathy. “what a nice day!” shares a tiny sliver of happiness. “i wonder if this rain will ever end.” shares the bad feelings with each other. both ends of the mini-conversation feel a tiny bit more connected by experiencing this emotion of liking or disliking the weather at the same moment.60. what would be the best title of the text?a. chatting with strangers b. the importance of small talkc. an interesting topic d. talking about weather with strangers61. when we chat about the weather with a stranger, we actually intend to _.a. draw his or her attention to us b. feel comfortable with each other c. remind him or her of the changeable weather d. know more about him or her 62. when we meet a stranger on elevators, we _. a. cant avoid eye contact with him or her b. should always pretend not to notice him or her c. can avoid him or her by looking up at the floor numbersd. should start talking first 63. we should first _ when we meet a stranger in close proximity. a. make eye contact b. turn our eyes away c. give him or her a smiled. give a nod to him or her c poems are essential to human beings. we cant live without them. we need poems, and the fact that we consider them not worth our time, is something that leaves us impoverished (贫困). if we dont read poems we are denying ourselves something important. poems can help us get in touch with our- selves. in one of those fragments (片段) of poetry which many people know, john donne wrote “ no man is an island”. he means we all live connected to one another. but, at the same time, we all actually are islands, each occupying a consciousness different from everyone else. how do we really know what someone else is thinking or feeling? and, to turn it around, we should keep most of what we think and feel deep inside us, away from the scrutiny (注视) of others. this is the province (领域) of poetry, for it reveals what is inside a fellow human beings heart and mind. in some cases what they have to say will be important, maybe so important that it will alter your life or transform your sense of who you are and what you are capable of. but poems are not infallible (完美的): sometimes they can seem silly or just plain wrong. we dont have to bow down in reverence (敬畏) to a poem: if we dont like what the poet is saying or how he or she is saying it, there is no reason to hide our own feelings. if a poem doesnt seem to speak to you or me and we have made a serious attempt to listen then we are surely justified in deciding you have better things to do than to read that poem again. 64. which of the following describes the authors opinion on poems?a. poems are an important part of our life.b. we can live without poems.c. its a waste of time to read poems.d. poems are becoming less and less important in modern society.65. by saying “no man is an island”, john donne really means _.a. humans tend to separate from each otherb. poems can keep people close c. we should focus on our inner feelings d. we cant be separated from each other 66. which of the following is true according to the third paragraph?a. poems are just a way of leisure. b. poems even have the power to change our lives.c. poems can help us keep in touch with others.d. poems can give us strong ability to do things. 67. what kind of attitude should we have towards poems?a. we should always read poems with respect. b. we should only read poems that speak to us. c. we should point out the silly mistakes in poems.d. we should put other important things above poems.donce upon a time, a doting mother asked albert einstein what she should read to her son to help him grow up as brilliant and intelligent as the famous scientist.“fairy-tales,” he said, wisely nodding his head.why? why would albert einstein the nobel prizes winning physicist recommend reading fairy-tales? was he joking? all the evidence suggests he was deadly serious. he also said, “when i examine myself and my methods of thought, i come to the conclusion that the gift of fantasy has meant more to me than any talent for abstract, positive thinking.”childhood is one of the factors that blur (使变模糊) the distinctions between the self and other objects. thus fantasy stories appeal to children and appear to make sense to them. there are several commonly accepted genres (流派) of fantasy, “animal fantasy” which centers around the lives of lovable talking animals and “modern fantasy” which focuses on adventures in other worlds and magical events. i am inclined to add a third genre “human and animal fantasy”, which mixes human and animal characters. another genre of fantasy may be “high fantasy” which features heroes who combat evil and save the world from destruction. fantasy feeds a childs imagination and encourages creativity. the enjoyment that the genre engenders (产生) promotes reading and enhances literacy. moreover, the fantasy genre may be used for teaching purposes. for example: a story about cruelty to animals would limit appeal to a child; however a fantasy celebration of closeness between the children and their pets may give an element of excitement as the children are able to save animals from someone with cruel intentions. children love the harry potter series, and if they only see the movies they miss a great opportunity to develop their reading skills by spending time with the lovable young wizards and witches (巫婆)of the hogwarts community. 68. albert einstein recommended reading fairy-tales because _. a. he was just joking with the mother b. he contributed his gift of fantasy to reading fairy-tales c. he got some scientific ideas from fairy-tales d. the gift of fantasy equals to the talent for abstract, positive thinking69. a student who likes re
