Salesmen depend 11 the person-to-person approach in trying to persuade consumers to buy. Advertising, 12 , has to reach consumers indirectly through messages on radio and television, in the newspapers, or even on handbills(传单) given to you in the street. Once again, the purpose of advertising is to sell goods. This means that the advertiser is going to try to make you think you want something his something 13 you need it or not. 14 , the advertiser is creating a(n) 15 for his product. This is fine. Remember, all the goods being produced today have to be sold. And you cannot buy something if you do not know about it. All consumers are influenced by brand names. Advertisers try to get people 16 to a brand because they know that, in later years, many of the consumers will 17 to this brand. Therefore, commercials are repeated over and over again on radio and television. We soon get to know them by 18 . Some advertisers stay with particular radio or television stars, and consumers come to 19 a product with a famous person.

If one person gets too close, the other person will back up. If the first person invades the others space again, the other will back up again. The person who finds himself or herself backing up is trying to increase the distance of the comfort zone. The person closing in is trying to decrease that distance. Most likely neither person is fully aware of what is going on. In the 1960s American anthropologist (人类学家) Edward T. Hall was a pioneer in the study of human behavioral use of space. His field of study became known as proxemics. Hall said that personal space for Americans can be defined as having four distinct zones: the intimate zone within 18 inches of your body for whispering and embracing; personal zone of 18 inches to four feet, for talking with close friends; social zone of four to 10 feet, for talking with acquaintances; and the social zone of 10 to 25 feet, for talking to strangers or to a group. Historians say that our standards of personal space began with the Industrial Revolution in the 18th century. In cities such as London and New York, people of different social and economics classes were suddenly crammed (塞满，塞进) together, so they unconsciously developed a commonly understood rule of polite behavior and space to restrict the area around them. People exhibit nonverbal messages of discomfort when their zones are violated. Invaded people might pull at their hair, become rigid, or even become angry. As Hall noted in his work, a comfortable conversation needs to include the range of human personal space. 21.This passage is mostly about _. what nonverbal communication is human conversation the life of Edward T. Hallhuman behavioral use of space22. Edward T.

Halls field of studya definition of personal space The word “dynamics” means _. difficulties forces or influence that cause changelargeness explosions so large that they are beyond beliefPassage Two How often one hears children wishing they were grown up, and old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets. Youth is a time when there are few tasks to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. In addition, life is always presenting new things to the child things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known. But a child has his pains: he is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is continually being told not to do things, or being punished for what he has done wrong. When the young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the great happiness of building up for himself his own position in society. People can experience happiness if they _. always think of the past and regret itvalue the presentare no longer youngbecome old and have much experienceWhen people were young, they used to _. be in charge of many businesseshave few things to think about and take on look after their younger sisters and brothersface a lot of difficulties The pains of children lie in the fact that _. no one helps them make right decisionsthey are often beaten by their parentsthey can not be accepted and praised by othersD. they are not allowed to do what they like to doChildren are usually happy because _. old people lose interest in them they are free to do wrongthey are familiar with everything going on around themthings are new to themWhich of the following is NOT needed for a young man to be happy?A.

Learning these skills changed your life forever and opened up new horizons. Learning about computers can be like learning how to ride a bike or drive a car. Once you have invested the time to master the skills, you will never go back to the old days. The new technology is simply too convenient and too powerful.

It has the ability to cut us free from some activities, but it can also cut deeply into profits, personal privacy, and our society in general.
