They moved in a couple of months back and although I never felt that they were a strange family, Ive always hated the way they get “too close” to me, my house, my garden, and even my garbage cans.One day, my neighbors were mowing their lawn (草坪). My garbage cans were near their lawn. For some strange reason, I found the wife looking through my garbage cans. I felt angry but since they were from a different culture, I thought that maybe it was “normal” from their ideas.That afternoon, the couple knocked on my front door. When I opened, they gave me a plastic bag. Inside were my old daily bills, credit cards and bank statements, and an old birthday card that my old uncle sent. They said that they were returning them to me because these documents contained very private information that may be used by others.Ive heard it before. I asked them how those documents can be used by others and they started telling me their very own experience, which forced them to leave their home and move next door to us. The wife told me that she never destroyed the bills. They also had a “nosy neighbor” who looked through their garbage cans which they actually thought was pretty strange. Little did they know that this “nosy neighbor” was collecting their personal information from their rubbish. Then all their money was taken out from the bank by their neighbor. It was a very painful experience for all of them and they wanted to leave them all behind so they left. I was very thankful. They were not nosy neighbors. They simply didnt want us to experience the same thing that they did.56. What made the author angry?A. His neighbors wife was looking through his rubbish.B. His neighbors were mowing their lawn one morning.C. His neighbors got too close to his own home.D. His neighbors came to knock at his door at night. 57. Why did the couple come to the authors home?A. To introduce themselves to the author. B. To get to know each other better.C. To return the documents to the author. D. To borrow some money from the author.58. The neighbors came to live next door to the author because _.A. they no longer had money to live in their former homeB. they didnt want to live in such a noisy home as beforeC. their personal documents were used by their former neighborD. they thought the author was much better than their former neighbor59. Which of the following can we infer from the last paragraph?A. The author was kind and helpful to the neighbors.B. The neighbors had to move from place to place.C. The neighbors didnt have enough money. D. The author changed his idea about his neighbors.BMany of us feel uneasy when someone stands too close to us, talks to us too loudly or makes eye contact (接触) with us for too long. But have you ever wondered why those things make you uncomfortable?Its all about personal peace, which means not only an imaginary space around the body, but also the space around all the senses. People feel that their space is being violated (侵犯) when they meet with an unwelcome sound, smell or look. This is probably why a man on a crowded bus shouting into his mobile phone or a woman next to you putting on strong perfume (香水) makes you feel angry.Whether people have had a stronger wish to protect their personal space in recent times is hard to say. Yet studies of airlines show that people have a strong desire (渴望) to have space to themselves. In a survey(调查) by Trip Advisor, a travel website, people said that if they had to pay more for some extra service, they would rather have larger seats than extra food.Although people may need their personal space, some hardly realize it. For example, people on a bus who hold newspapers in front of their faces to read in fact keep a distance from strangers.Go and watch a library table. You will notice that one of the corner seats will usually be taken first, because they are the farthest way. What if someone sits opposite to you? Maybe you will pile up books as if to make a wall.Preference(偏好) for personal space are different from culture to culture. Scientists have found that Americans generally prefer more personal space than people from other cultures. In Latin(拉丁人的) cultures, however, people are more comfortable standing close to each other.60.Thewritermainly_inthisarticle.A.tellsushowtoachievepersonalspaceB.explainswhatpersonalspacepeopleneedisC.introducessomeknowledgeaboutpersonalspaceD.arguesfortheimportanceofkeepingpersonalspace61.Whomightfeelhispersonalspaceissafeaccordingtothepassage?A.Apersonwhohastositnexttoaladyputtingonstrongperfume.B.Apersonwhohasbeenwatchedbyastrangerforalongtime.C.Apersonwhohearsstrangenoiseswhenreadingathome.D.ALatinboywhoischattingwithafriendsittingclosetohim.62.WhatcanweknowfromthesurveybyTripAdvisor?A.Peopleneedasmallerpersonalspaceinrecenttimesthanbefore.B.Peoplehaveastrongdesireforpersonalspaceinrecenttimes.C.Therearenotenoughseatsontheplanetomeetpeoplesneeds.D.Foodserviceisbetterprovidedthanseatsontheplane.63.WhichofthefollowingisTRUEaccordingtothepassage?A.Thespacearoundthebodyismoreneededthanthataroundallthesenses.B.Ifyouholdnewspapersonthebus,yourpersonalspacewontbeviolated.C.Peopleusuallychoosethecornerseatsfirstinalibraryforpersonalspace.D.Differentculturessharethesamepreferencesforpersonalspace.CIf Confucius（孔子）were still alive today and could celebrate his September 28 birthday with a big cake, there would be a lot of candles. Hed need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out. While many people in China will remember Confucius on his special day, few people in the United States will give him a passing thought. Its nothing personal. Most Americans dont even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes. But this doesnt mean that Americans dont care about Confucius. In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China. In the past two decades, the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities. More recently, the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries. These schools teach both Chinese language and culture. The main courses of Chinese culture usually included Chinese art, history and philosophy. Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantage of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks of Westerners philosophy. Students in the United States, at the same time, are racing to learn Chinese. So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States. Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers. So the old thinkers ideas are still alive and well. Today China attracts the West more than ever, and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West. As for the old thinker, he will not soon be forgotten by people in the West, even if his birthday is. DLose yourself in the sights and sounds of Madrid a three-night break from 175 per person.
