and pausingsara tried to befriend her old friend steves new wife, but betty never seemed to have anything to say. while sara felt betty didnt hold up her end of the conversation, betty complained to steve that sara never gave her a chance to talk. the problem had to do with expectations about pacing and pausing.conversation is a turn-taking game. when our habits are similar, theres no problem. but if our habits are different, you may start to talk before im finished or fail to take your turn when im finished. thats what was happening with betty and sara.it may not be coincidental that betty, who expected relatively longer pauses between turns, is british, and sara, who expected relatively shorter pauses, is american. betty often felt interrupted by sara. but betty herself became an interrupter and found herself doing most of the talking when she met a visitor from finland. and sara had a hard time cutting in on some speakers from latin america or israel.the general phenomenon, then, is that the small conversation techniques, like pacing and pausing, lead people to draw conclusions not about conversational style but about personality and abilities. these habitual differences are often the basis for dangerous stereotyping (思维定式). and these social phenomena can have very personal consequences. for example, a woman from the southwestern part of the us went to live in an eastern city to take up a job in personnel. when the personnel department got together for meetings, she kept searching for the right time to break in - and never found it. although back home she was considered outgoing and confident, in washington she was viewed as shy and retiring. when she was evaluated at the end of the year, she was told to take a training course because of her inability to speak up.thats why slight differences in conversational style - tiny little things like microseconds of pause - can have a great effect on ones life. the result in this case was a judgment of psychological problems - even in the mind of the woman herself, who really wondered what was wrong with her and registered for assertiveness training.bnew technology links the world as never before. our planet has shrunk. its now a “global village” where countries are only seconds away by fax or phone or satellite link. and, of course, our ability to benefit from this high-tech communications equipment is greatly increased by foreign language skills.deeply involved with this new technology is a kind of modern businesspeople who have a growing respect for the economic value of doing business abroad. in modern markets, success overseas often helps support domestic business efforts. overseas assignments are becoming increasingly important to advancement within executive ranks. the executive stationed in another country no longer need fear being “out of sight and out of mind.” he or she can be sure that the overseas effort is central to the companys plan for success, and that promotions often follow or accompany an assignment abroad. if an employee can succeed in a difficult assignment overseas, superiors will have greater confidence in his or her ability to manage back in the united states where cross-cultural considerations and foreign language issues are becoming more and more common. thanks to a variety of relatively inexpensive communications devices with business applications, even small businesses in the united states are able to get into international markets. english is still the international language of business. but there is an ever-growing need for people who can speak another language. a second language isnt generally required to get a job in business, but having language skills gives a candidate the edge when other qualifications appear to be equal.the employee posted abroad who speaks the countrys language has an opportunity to fast-forward certain negotiations, and can have the cultural insight to know when it is better to move more slowly. the employee at the home office who can communicate well with foreign customers over the telephone or by fax machine is an obvious asset to the firm. c. technical know-how. d. business experience. 【小题4】62. the advantage of employees having foreign language skills is that they can _. a. fast-forward their proposals to headquarters b. better control the whole negotiation process c. easily make friends with businesspeople abroadd. easily find new approaches to meet market needs 【答案】【小题1】d 【小题2】d 【小题3】a 【小题4】b【解析】试题分析：cone scientist recently came up with a way to explain this ant behavior. dong-hwan choe is a biologist, a scientist who studies animals and plants. he found that ants have a chemical on the outside of their bodies that signals to other ants, “im dead-take me away” when it is dead.but theres a question to answer: as we know, if an ant is dead, it stops moving. but when an ant is sleeping or knocked unconscious, it is also not moving. however, other ants dont move the living ant out of the nest. how do they know this ant is not dead? choe found that ants have another chemical on their bodies, which tells nearby ants something like, “waitim not dead yet” when it is not dead. choe suspects that when an ant dies, the chemical that says, “wait im not dead yet” quickly goes away. when other ants detect the “dead” chemical without the “not dead yet” chemical, they move away the body.d. ants often use chemicals to communicate with each other.【小题4】66. which of the following descriptions about dong-hwan choe is right?a. choe did this study in order to stop ants from invading new places.b. choe is a biologist who is only interested in animals, especially in ants.c. choe first came up with an idea to explain this ant behavior，and then did some tests to prove his theory.d. choe did the research on this ant behavior on his own.号告诉它们“它已经死了”。故选b。其他三项与文章内容不符。【小题4】c考查推理判断。根据文章第二段中的one scientist recently came up with a way to explain this ant behavior. dong-hwan choe is a biologist, a scientist who studies animals and plants. he found that ants have a chemical on the outside of their bodies that signals to other ants, “im dead-take me away” when it is dead.可知，choe先提出理论，然后证实了他的理论。故选c。考点：考查科普类文章。deach time i see a balloon, my mind flies back to a memory of when i was a six-year-old girl. it was a rainy sunday and my father had

happened in a story i had read. for a few minutes it was as if dad were still alive. i gave the letter to mom. she read it over, and a smile crossed her face. she made a hole in the corner of the letter where she looped the balloon string. we went outside and she gave me the balloon. it was still raining. okay, on the count of three, let go. one, two, three.the balloon, carrying my letter, darted upward against the rain. we watched until it was swallowed by the mass of clouds.later i realized, like the balloon, that dad had never let his sickness get him down. he was strong. no matter what he suffered, hed persevere, dart up, and finally transcend this cold world and his sick body. he rose into sky and became something beautiful. i watched until the balloon disappeared into the gray and white and i prayed that his strength was hereditary. i prayed to be a balloon.【小题1】67when the girl asked her mother if they could write to her father, her mother _.afelt it hard to answer

absorbed in your work but found yourself distracted by e-mail, the internet and other things throughout the day?people often lose their concentration when they are bored, of course, but also when they

connected to the brains emotional center. any strong emotionquarrels with colleagues, problems at homecan interrupt our attention. studies over the last decade have shown that too much work to do at a time can easily lead to distraction.refocusing is hard for many people. robert epstein suggests the following, stop and listen to music for a few minutes. go for a short walk or take a deep breath, where you breathe in deeply, count to five slowly, hold it and breathe out very slowly. this can blow out all the tension and the unwanted in your mind to restore your focus.take more control by
