Although he did manage to make the schools golf team, he lost the only important match of the season. Throughout his youth, Sparky was awkward socially. He was surprised if a classmate ever said hello to him outside of school hours.Sparky was a loser. However, one thing was important to Sparky drawing. He was proud of his artwork. Of course, no one else appreciated it. In his senior year of high school, he sent some cartoons to the editors of the yearbook. The cartoons were rejected (拒绝). Despite this particular rejection, Sparky was so confident of his ability that he decided to become a professional artist.After completing high school, he wrote a letter to Walt Disney Studios. He was told to send some pieces of his artwork, and the subject for a cartoon was suggested. Sparky drew the cartoon. He spent a great deal of time on it and on all the other drawings. Finally, the reply came from Disney Studios. He had been rejected once again. Another loss for the loser.So Sparky decided to draw his own autobiography (自传) in cartoons. He described his childhood a little boy loser. The cartoon character soon became famous worldwide. For Sparky, the boy who had such lack of success in school and whose work was rejected again and again was Charles Schulz.

They often stand close when talking and it is common for them to touch the person on the shoulder. People often greet each other (particularly women) with light cheek kisses. Schedules tend to be flexible, with business meetings sometimes starting later than planned. But to be safe, be on time. Meals can stretch for hourstheres no such thing as rushing a meal in Brazil. Lunches also can start in the mid to late afternoon. Brazilians are social, preferring face-to-face communication over mails or phone calls.In SingaporeSingaporeans shake hands when they meet and often also greet each other with a small, polite bow. Business cards should be offered and received with two hands. Arriving late is considered disrespectful. So be on time. Efficiency(效率) is the goal, so meetings and dealings often are fast-paced. Singaporeans are direct in their discussions, even when the subject is about money. Rank is important and authority is respected. This determines both people interact in meetings. For example, people avoid disagreeing outright with someone with a higher rank.In the United Arab EmiratesIn the UAE, status is important, so the most senior or oldest should be greeted first with their titles. The handshake seems to be longer than elsewhere. So, do not pull away the handshake. Women should cover themselves when it comes to dress. Men also tend to be covered from neck to elbows(肘部) and down to the knees. People do not avoid entertaining in their homes, but they also hold business meals at restaurants. Touching or passing food or eating with your left hand is to be avoided. When meetings are one-to-one, if your host offers you coffee, you should refuse. It might seem odd, but it is a cultural tradition. Coffee should only be accepted if it is always set out or presented.In SwitzerlandThe Swiss tend to be formal and address each other by last name. They also are respectful of private lives. You should be careful not to ask about personal topics. Punctuality (守时) is vital, something that comes from a deep respect for others time. Arrive at any meeting or event a few minutes early to be safe. They also have clear structure in their companies. Higher-ups make the final decisions, even if others might disagree. Neat, clean dress is expected. The Swiss follow formal table manners. They also keep their hands visible at the table and their elbows off the table. It is polite to finish the food on your plate.1.

McAlister, a behavioral scientist and an author of the study. “The hurricanes had an emotional effect on the teenagers and we need to recognize that and give them the help they need. Otherwise, they will use tobacco as a crutch (精神支柱) and then become addicted.”Almost 38 percent of students who reported they had a family member hurt or killed in the 2005 hurricanes also reported that they now are smoking, according to the study. In comparison, 13 percent who did not have a death or injury in the family said they smoke.Smoking rates were also higher among Jefferson County students whose homes were damaged or destroyed, or if they had family or friends with damaged or destroyed homes, according to the study.Students who are still living in temporary housing and who were absent from school for more than two months due to the hurricanes are more likely to smoke.About 22 percent of American teenagers smoke, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.“Raised stress levels lead to more smoking,” McAlister said. “It was not shocking to find that relationship after the hurricanes.”72.According to the study, teens turned to smoking to _.A. have fun B. show they were grown-upsC. cope with stress D. show their anger at their parents73. According to McAlister, _.A. people should lend a hand to the youths who suffered in the hurricanes B. people who survived Hurricanes Katrina and Rita were luckyC. hurricanes are the most serious natural disaster in TexasD. most youths lack confidence to overcome difficulties74.There are more students smoking in Jefferson County because _.A.the government didnt provide enough support for themB.their homes or their friends homes were destroyedC. they are afraid that hurricanes will strike againD. they are facing heavy study burden75. Whats the passage mainly about?A. The effects of Hurricane Katrina. B. How to fight teen smoking.C. The links between hurricanes and teen smokers. D.
