if this is the style you have learned, perhaps you should watch two americans talking. notice how the person who is listening will have frequent changes of expression. the listener may also make little remarks while the other person is talking. these little remarks may be one word, like “really?” or they may just be a little sound, like “uhhuh” or “mmm.” this is the way american listeners show that they are listening in a friendly way. this is why americans get uneasy when the listener is silent and shows no change of expression. in the american style of speaking, an unmoving face often means that the listener is unfriendly, or perhaps even angry. sometimes people from two cultures are uncomfortable with each other for very small reasons. here is an example: americans think that perspiration (sweat) odor is not polite. in fact, they worry so much about this subject that they spend a great deal of money on deodorants (除臭剂) and dry cleaning and washing their clothes. if a foreign student does not follow the same rule, americans may be disturbed and think the foreigner is not nice. the problem can be especially troublesome because americans are so embarrassed about this subject that they do not even like to talk about it, so they are not likely to tell that person why they are uneasy.1. a if you want to be clearly understood in another country, you should learn _. a. its common knowledge b. its language and style as well c. its wrong words and politeness d. its culture and expressions2. a the underlined word “odor” in the last paragraph here means_. a. an unpleasant smell b. a good style of talking c. an unfriendly way d. a polite expression3. a what would be the best title for the text? a. eye contact b. different peoples, different cultures c. body language d. you and your culture (b) like many of my generation, i have a weakness for hero worship. at some point, however, we all begin to question our heroes and our need for them. this leads us to ask: what is a hero? despite differences in cultures, heroes around the world generally share a number of characteristics that instruct and inspire people. a hero does something worth talking about. a hero has a story of adventure to tell and people who will listen. but a hero goes beyond mere fame. heroes serve powers or principles (道德规范) larger than themselves. like high-voltage transformers (变压器), heroes take the energy of higher powers and step it down so that it can be used by ordinary people. the hero lives a life worthy of imitation (模仿). those who imitate a real hero experience life with new depth, enthusiasm and meaning. a sure test for would-be heroes is: what or whom do they serve? what are they willing to live and die for? if the answer or evidence suggests they serve only their own fame, they may be famous persons but not heroes. madonna and michael jackson are famous, but who would say that their fans find life more abundant (丰富的)? heroes are catalysts (催化剂) for changes. they have a vision from the mountaintops. they have the skill and the charm to move the masses. they create new possibilities. without gandhi, india might still be part of the british empire. without rosa parks and martin luther king jr. , we might still have segregated (隔离的) buses, restaurants and parks. it may be possible for large-scale change to occur without leaders with magnetic personalities, but the pace of change would be slow, the vision uncertain, and the committee meetings endless.4. b although heroes may come from different cultures, they_. a. generally possess certain inspiring characteristics b. probably share some weaknesses of ordinary peoplec. are often affected by previous generationsd. all unknowingly attract a large number of fans5. b according to the passage, heroes are compared to high-voltage transformers because _. a. they have a vision from the mountaintops b. they have warm feelings c. they can serve as examples of noble principles d. they can make people feel stronger and more able6. a madonna and michael jackson are not considered heroes because _. a. they are popular only among certain groups of people b. their performances do not improve their fans morally c. they only care for their own interests d. they are not clear about the principles they should follow7. a gandhi and martin luther king are typical examples of outstanding leaders who _. a. are good at showing their noble characters b. can move the masses with their forceful speeches c. are able to meet all challenges and hardships d. can provide an answer to the problems of their people8. b the author concludes that historical changes would _. a. be delayed without leaders with inspiring personal qualities b. not happen without leaders with inspiring personal qualities c. take place if there were heroes to lead the peopled. produce leaders with attractive personalities课外作业iv书面表达（共22分） b 根据下面表格所给的内容，发一个电子邮件。发送日期： 2008年11月30日对方电子邮件：helen1991 你的电子邮件：qidong_t邮件的主题：对网上聊天的看法。反对者支持者我的观点1.浪费时间、精力和金钱2.虚拟空间，真实性不可靠1.是一种新的娱乐和放松的方式2.可以自由地倾吐个人感受？注意： 1. 词数：100左右 2. 邮件开头已给出，不计入总词数。datefromtosubjectwith the development of it, online chatting is becoming increasingly popular with many people. however,_答案i. 1. a new an old 2. none some 3. tv radio 4. dancing telling jokes 5. two people only one person, two people, three people or more 6. part of a story a whole story7. sometimes never 8. do not need to mustii. 1. well-known 2. art 3. take 4.
