Some societies, such as America, are mobile. People change jobs and move quite often. Therefore, they need to get to know people quickly, so its normal to have friendly conversations with people they have just met.In less mobile societies, long-term relationships are more important. A Malaysian businessman, for example, will want to get to know you well before he feels happy to start business. But when you do get to know each other, the relationship becomes much deeper.To Americans, Asians seem cool and formal at first. However, for a Asian, its no fun sitting several hours beside a stranger who tells you all about his life and asks you all sorts of questions.Cross-cultural differences are also a problem for the flights. All flights want to provide the best service, but ideas about good service are different from place to place. Some societies have universalist cultures. These societies strongly respect rules. Particularist societies also have rules, but they are less important than the unwritten ideas about what is right or wrong for a particular situation or person. So the normal rules are changed to fit the needs.This difference can cause problems. A traveler from a particularist society, India, is checking in for a flight in Germany, a country with a universalist culture. The Indian has too much luggage, but he explains that he has been away from home for a long time and the suitcases are full of presents for his family. He expects the check-in official will understand this and change the rules. The official explains that if he was allowed to have too much luggage, it wouldnt be fair to other passengers. But the Indian thinks this is unfair because other passengers dont have his problem.31. Often moving from one place to another makes Americans _.A. like traveling better B. easy to communicate with C. difficult to make real friends D. have a long-term relationship with neighbors 32. Malaysians prefer to do business with those _.A. who will tell them everything of their own B. who want to do business with them C. they know quite well D. who are good at talking 33. A person from a less mobile society will feel it when a stranger keeps talking to him. A. boring B. friendly C. normalD. rough34. In particularist societies, .A. they have no rules for people to obey B. people obey the societys rules completely C. no one obeys the societys rules though they have D. the societys rules can be changed with different persons or situations 35. The writer thinks Indians and Germans have different ideas about rules for different _.A. interests B. cultures C. habits and customs D. ways of life BIn October, 1961, at Crowley Field in Ohio, an old deaf gentleman named William E. Hoy stood up to throw out the first ball of the World Series. Most people at Crowley Field on that day probably didnt remember Hoy because he had retired(退休) from professional baseball 58 years earlier. However, he had been an outstanding baseball player. Born in Ohio, in 1862, he became deaf at two. After graduating from the Columbus Ohio School for the Deaf, he started playing baseball while working as a shoemaker.Hoy began playing professional baseball in 1866. He was very good at stealing bases. In the 1888 season, he stole 82 bases. He was also the leading hirer in 1888. The arm signals used by umpires(裁判) today to show balls and strikes began because of Hoy. The umpire lifted his right arm to show the pitch was a strike, and his left arin to signal that it was a ball.For many years, people talked about Hoys last game. He was playing for Los Angeles. It was a very foggy night. In the ninth inning, with two men out, Hoy managed to catch a fly ball to make the third out. Los Angeles won the game.Hoy married Anna. Since they could not hear a doorbell, Hoy put a baseball in a groove (槽) by the door bell. The pulling of the bell knocked the ball onto the floor, and the vibrations announced the visitor.After he retired, Hoy stayed busy. He became a public speaker and traveled giving speeches. Until a few years before his death, he took 10 mile walks several mornings a week. On Decembe 15, 1961, William Hoy died at the age of 99.36.

Hoy had very bad eyesight D. Hoy stopped taking exercise shortly before he died 38. The underlined word “vibrations” in Para. 5 probably refer to .A. postmen B. men servants C. door bells D. shaking movements of the ball39.

Hoy became deaf.A. d c b a B. c d b a C. d c a b D. b d c a 40. The passage mainly tells us about _.A. the rest of the life of a deaf baseball player B. the development of the umpires hand signals C. the great effect on baseball by a deaf player D. the greatest American sport played by nearly everyone CIn ancient Greece, athletic festivals were very important and had strong religious associations.The Olympian athletic festival, held every four years in honor of Zeus, later lost its local character, became first a national event, and then, after the rules against foreign competitors had been waived, international. Nobody knows exactly how far back the Olympic Games go, but some official records date from 776 B. C.The Games took place in August. Slaves, women and dishonored persons were not allowed to compete. The exact order of events is uncertain, and events included gymnastics, horse racing, field events and the very important foot races. There were also boxing and wrestling. The evening of the third day was devoted to sacrificial offerings（祭品）to the heroes of the day, and the fourth day, that of the full moon, was set aside as a holy day.英才苑On the sixth and last day, all the victors were crowned with holy garlands（花冠）of wild olive. Although Olympic winners received no prize money, they were, in fact, richly rewarded by their state authorities. The public honor made the strict discipline of the ten month training period worthwhile, but runners were known to drop dead from tiredness.After an uninterrupted history of almost 1,200 years, the Games were stopped in A.D. 394 because of their pagan（异教的）origin. It was over 1,500 years before there was another such international athletics gathering.The Greek institution was brought back in 1896 and the first small meeting took place in Athens. After the 1908 London Olympics, success was reestablished and nations sent their best athletes. In times of peace, the Games have taken place ever since at four yearly intervals.41.

Workers from the power company soon arrived on the scene. One of them asked if I had touched the tree, and when I told him I had, his face turned pale. “You should have been killed,”he said. So why am I still alive? It was my boots that saved my life.B) One bitterly cold day, a snowstorm blew into our area. Needing firewood, I quickly set out with my best friend, Bruce, to look for a tree to cut down. Cutting down a tree in a snowstorm can be dangerous. So it was important to have a friend who could warn me of dangers.C) Within two hours, the workers removed the tree. Soon the snowstorm calmed downbut not my mother.
