you can t help looking through shopping websites in the meantime You re having lunch alone in the dining hall but it only feels right when you start playing a show on your phone as if it s a necessary side dish We re now living in a world that is filled with information It seems unnatural to do only one thing at a time It s as if we re all suffering from a recent article called multitasking OCD With news reduced to 140 characters and communication increasingly by emojis we have developed the ability to focus our attention on several activities and devices at once Sabry Otmani founder of Pulpix website once wrote We need something exciting to keep us interested and to fight off boredom But perhaps fighting off boredom is not the only reason 第 6 页 共 12 页 My own obsession with multitasking mainly comes from the fact that everyone around me seems to study all the time Each minute I m not taking in something new feels like a waste of time So I always have my headphones on whether I m commuting exercising or walking in the park I m forever listening to something a course on classical music or on new media management and heaven knows what else just so I can keep up with the world People who can t stay away from social media are known by FOMO fear of missing out They have to be updated about what their friends are doing and saying But I d guess that FOFO better describes me fear of falling out No matter what reason you re doing it for multitasking is already a part of the modern lifestyle Just make sure you make the most out of it 1 In the first paragraph the author wants to A show how busy today s life is B show that people today often feel lost C explain what multitasking OCD is like D say people like to compare with each other 2 According to Sabry Otmani people today like multitasking because A it can help them to communicate their ideas B it can help them out of being bored C they are impatient to finish one thing at a time D they are more able than the past generations 3 The underlined word obsession may mean A interest B knowledge C understanding 第 7 页 共 12 页 D worry 4 Which of the following is correct about the writer A She wants to stay ahead of her friends B She wants to have something to show off C She doesn t want to get left behind by others D She thinks it is boring to do one thing at a time 4 6 分 It can be hard to meet people from another culture From the beginning people may send the wrong signal 信号 Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship Different cultures emphasize 强调 the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree For example business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust Even with people at work it is necessary to spend a lot of time in small talk usually over a glass of tea before they do any job In many European countries like the UK or France people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants rather than at the office Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures I once made a speech in Thailand I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion instead there was an uncomfortable silence The people just looked at me all the time and smiled After getting to know their ways better I realized that they thought I was talking too much In my own culture we express meaning mainly through words but people there sometimes feel too many words are not needed Even within Northern Europe cultural differences can cause serious problems Certainly English and German cultures share almost the same values however Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly We think that they are rude In fact this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly People from different parts of the world have different values and sometimes these values are quite against each other However if we can understand them better a multicultural 多元文化 environment will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other 第 8 页 共 12 页 1 In some countries eating together at restaurants may make it easier for people to A develop closer relationship B share the same culture C get to know each other D make a successful speech 2 The writer mentions his journey in Thailand to show that A too many words are of no use B the English prefer to make long speeches C even talk and silence can be culturally different D people from Thailand are quiet and shy 3 What would be the best title for the passage A Multicultural Environment B Cross Cultural Differences C How to Understand Each Other D How to Build Up a Relationship 三 三 补全对话补全对话 共共 1 1 题 共题 共 5 5 分分 5 5 分 David Sally I m reading a
