A year after graduation I was offered a position teaching a writing class Teaching was a profession I had never seriously considered though several of my stories had been published I accepted the job without hesitation as it would allow me to wear a tie and go by the name of Mr Davis My father went by the same name and I liked to imagine people getting the two of us confused Wait a minute someone might say are you talking about Mr Davis the retired man or Mr Davis the respectable scholar The position was offered at the last minute and I was given two weeks to prepare a period I spent searching for a briefcase and standing before my full length mirror repeating the words Hello class I m Mr Davis Sometimes I would give myself an aggressive voice Sometimes I would sound experienced But when the day eventually came my nerves kicked in and the true Mr Davis was there I sounded not like a thoughtful professor but rather a 12 year old boy I arrived in the classroom with paper cards designed in the shape of maple leaves I had cut them myself out of orange construction paper I saw nine students along a long table I handed out the cards and the students wrote down their names and fastened them to their breast pockets as I required All right then I said Okay here we go Then I opened my briefcase and realized that I had never thought beyond this moment I had been thinking that the students would be the first to talk offering their thoughts and opinions on the events of the day I had imagined that I would sit at the edge of the desk overlooking a forest of hands Every student would yell Calm down you ll all get your turn One at a time one at a time A terrible silence ruled the room and seeing no other opinions I instructed the students to pull out their notebooks and write

Many of us use them several times a day without really noticing And yet the way we behave in lifts or elevators as they are known in the US reveals a hidden anxiety Passengers seem to know instinctively 本能地 how to arrange themselves in an elevator like the dots on a die With each additional passenger the bodies shift going into the open spaces On your own you can do whatever you want it s your own little box If there are two of you you take different corners creating the greatest distance When a third person enters you will unconsciously form a triangle And when there is a square with someone in every corner a fifth person is probable going to have to stand in the middle Why are we so awkward in lifts You don t have enough space says Professor Babette Renneberg a clinical psychologist at the Free University of Berlin Usually when we meet other people we have about an arm s length of distance between us And that s not possible in most elevators so it s a very unusual setting It s unnatural But perhaps there is more to it than just social awkwardness In the back of our minds we are a little anxious says Nick White an officer in New York who was unfortunate enough to be trapped in a lift for 41 hours We don t like to be locked into a place We want to get out of the elevator as soon as possible you know it s a frightening place to be During his terrible experience he began to think of another enclosed space a tomb Dr Lee Gray agrees that a sense of powerlessness is the main cause of lift anxiety You re in a machine that s moving over which you have no control You cannot see the elevator engine you don t know how it s working he says 66 Which of the following best shows how passengers arrange themselves in 10 lifts 67 Professor Babette Renneberg

following is true of Nick White A He had been kept in a tomb for some time B He was trapped in a lift for 41 hours C He discussed lift anxiety with Dr Lee Gray D He was a scientist studying people s lift behaviors 69 The last paragraph best explains A hidden anxiety B lift anxiety C sense of disempowerment D social awkwardness 70 What does the text mainly talk about A People s behavior in lifts B Accidents in lifts C The function of lifts D Differences between lifts and elevators D D You are given many opportunities in life to choose to be a victim or creator When you choose to be a victim the world is a cold and difficult place They did things to you which caused all of your pain and suffering They 11 are wrong and bad and life is terrible as long as they are around Or you may blame yourself for all your problems thus internalizing 内化 your victimization The truth is your life is likely to stay that way as long as you feel a need to blame yourself or others Those who choose to be creators look at life quite differently They know there are individuals who might like to control their lives but they don t let this get in the way They know they have their weaknesses yet they don t blame themselves when they fail Whatever happens they have choice in the matter They believe their dance with each sacred 神圣的 moment of life is a gift and that storms are a natural part of life which can bring the rain needed for emotional and spiritual growth Victims and creators live in the same physical world and deal with many of the same physical realities yet their experience of life is worlds apart Victims relish 沉溺 in anger guilt and other emotions that cause others and even themselves to feel like victims too Creators consciously choose love inspiration and other qualities which inspire not only themselves but all around them Both victims and creators always have choice to determine the direction of their lives In reality all of us play the victim or the creator at various points in our lives one person on losing a job or a special relationship may feel as if it is the end of the world and sink into terrible suffering for months years or even a lifetime Another with the same experience may choose to first experience the grief then accept the loss and soon move on to be a powerful creative force in his life In every moment and every circumstance you can choose to have fuller richer life by setting a clear intention to transform the victim within and by inviting into your life the powerful creator that you are 71 What does the word they in Paragraph 1 probably refer to A Victims and their sufferings B Opportunities and problems C Creators and their choices D People and things around you 72 According to paragraph 2 creators A handle ups and downs of life wisely B possess the ability to predict future life C have potential to create something new 12 D seem willing to experience failures in life 73 What can we learn from Paragraph 3 A Creators and victims are masters of their lives B Victims can influence more people than creators C Compared with victims creators are more emotional D Creators and victims face quite different things in life 74 The examples mentioned in Paragraph 4 show that A one s experiences determine his attitude toward life B it takes creators quite a long time to get rid of their pains C people need family support to deal with challengers in life D strong attachment to sufferings in life pulls people into victims 75 What is the author s purpose in writing this passage A To define victims and creators B To evaluate victims against creators C To suggest the transformation from victims to creators D To explain the relationship between victim
