It was my mothers idea. She wanted me to “make something” of myself, and decided I had better start young if I was to have any chance of keeping up with the competition.With my load of magazines I headed toward Belleville Avenue. The crowds were there. There were two gas stations on the corner of Belleville and Union. For several hours I made myself highly visible, making sure everyone could see me and the heavy black letters on the bag that said THE SATURDAY EVENING POST. When it was supper time, I walked back home.“How many did you sell, my boy?” my mother asked.“None.”“The corner of Belleville and Union Avenues.”“What did you do?”“Stood on the corner waiting for somebody to buy a Saturday Evening Post.”“You just stood there?”“Didnt sell a single one.”“My God, Russell!”Uncle Allen put in, “Well, Ive decided to take the Post.” I handed him a copy and he paid me a nickle (五分镍币). It was the first nickle I earned.Afterwards my mother taught me how to be a salesman. I would have to ring doorbells, address adults with self-confidence, and persuade them by saying that no one, no matter how poor, could afford to be without the Saturday Evening Post in the home.One day, I told my mother Id changed my mind. I didnt want to make a success in the magazine business.“If you think you can change your mind like this,” she replied, “youll become a good-for-nothing.” She insisted that, as soon as school was over, I should start ringing doorbells, selling magazines. Whenever I said no, she would scold me.My mother and I had fought this battle almost as long as I could remember. My mother, dissatisfied with my fathers plain workmans life, determined that I would not grow up like him and his people. But never did she expect that, forty years later, such a successful journalist as me would go back to her husbands people for true life and love.26Why did the boy start his job young?AHe wanted to be famous in the future BThe job was quite easy for him.CHis mother had high hopes for him.

BThe early success of a journalist.CThe happy childhood of the writer.DThe important role of the writer in his family.BOver time, the custom of kissing developed as a way for adults to express their love and affection for one another. The roots of this form of affection can be traced back to primitive times, when mothers fondled their children, much as mothers do today.Much later, in the sixth century, society apparently accepted the custom of kissing between adults as expression of their affection. Not surprisingly, France first accepted kissing in courtship (求爱).There, figure dancing was popular, and each dance was sealed with a kiss.The custom of kissing swept from France through Europe to Russia, where Russian nobility loved to imitate the French. Eventually, the kiss was incorporated into marriage ceremonies, and today lip locks couples into sweet matrimony.The custom of kissing today, as well as in ancient times, serves to pay homage to another. For example, early Romans kissed each other on the mouth or on the eyes to greet one another in a manner they thought to be dignified (valued and respected). One Roman emperor even ranked a persons importance by the body part he was allowed to kiss. He allowed important nobles to kiss his lips, less important ones to kiss his hands, and the least important ones to kiss his feet.In Russia, the highest sign of recognition from the Crown meant kiss from the Tsar himself. Today, natives of many African tribes pay homage to their Chief by kissing the ground over which he has walked.31Whats mainly talked about in the passage?AThe way to express love and respect.BThe expression of affection.CThe custom of kissing.DThe function of kissing.32Which of the following can best explain the word “homage” in the fourth paragraph?ARecognition.BRespect.CImportance.DAppreciation.33It can be learned from the passage that kissing .Ais a widely accepted way to show love and affectionBused to be a proper way to show love on wedding ceremoniesCis a universally accepted way of greeting in the worldDfrom the Tsar is a sign of being accepted from the Grown34Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?AIt was Russia that made the custom of kissing go to the whole world.BEarly Africans kissed each other on the mouth or eyes to greet one another.COne Roman emperor allowed important nobles to kiss his nose.DRussian nobility followed the custom of kissing from the French.35We can infer from the passage that .Amother developed the custom of kissing.Bkissing means differently on different occasionsCfigure dancing was usually sealed with a kiss in RussiaDsociety found it hard to accept kissing in public in the sixth centuryCWhile many modern forms of communication like phone calls, e-mail, and letters, are extremely convenient. In my opinion, nothing beats speaking to another person face to face.The first and most obvious advantage that a face communication has over a letter and e-mail is that there is the ability to interactively(相互作用地)converse. If the sender of a letter or an email does not write clearly, then much time must be spent to clear up the misunderstanding. In a face-to-face conversation, misunderstandings are easily dealt with because of the interactive nature of it.I would still argue that the face-to-face conversation is better because you can see the other person. Not all communication is verbal; the meaning of much of what we say depends on our body language and the tone of voice. Joking and irony are particularly difficult to express and enjoy without seeing the expression on someones face, or watching the movements of their body.Finally, if the goal of communication is to maintain or deepen the relationship(关系)with someone, the face-to-face communication offers the choice of communication by touch even if we could communicate by the video. Trust and respect between business partners can be established with a firm handshake. No amount of body language can convey the excitement of a high five between friends, and no number of words can communicate the comforting embrace of a loved one. Touch is the first basic method of our human relationships, before spoken language, and it is only available when people communicate face to face.36. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. How to communicate more effectively(有效率地)B. The importance of using body language in communicationC. Face-to-face communication, the best way of communicatingD. Comparison(比较)of different communication forms 37. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?A.

Traditional ways of communication are out of date and should fall into disuse.C. Face-to-face communication can only be used among strangers.D. Face-to-face communication has advantages over the other ways of communication.40. What does the underlined word “maitain” in last paragraph mean?
