It took me hours to get there and I took great trouble to find aproper spot to park my car. As I was already three quarters of an hour late, I parked my carquickly. At noon, just as I was leaving my friends office, it suddenly struck me that I had noidea where I had parked my car. I could hardly go up to a policeman and tell him that I hadlost a small green car somewhere. Walking down street after street, I examined each car closely and was very happy to see a small green car just behind an old car. But howdisappointed I was to discover that though the car was exactly like my own, it belonged tosomeone else! Feeling quite tired now, I went off for lunch. Some time later, I left therestaurant and walked down the street. Turning the corner, I nearly jumped for joy: my carwas right in front of me-and there was no problem this time.

They were both very surprised to see a man seeking deerwithout a gun. So when he reached them, they stopped him and asked him whether anything waswrong and whether they could help him. The man sat down beside them, accepted a cup of coffeeand told them his story. Like them, he had gone deer-hunting that morning with a friend.

The amount of space a person needs around him is a cultural difference, not an economic(经济的) one. Knowing your own psychological(心理的) space needs is important because they strongly affect your choices, including, for example, the number of bedrooms in the home. If you were brought up in a two-child family and both you and your sister or brother had your own bedrooms, the chances are if you have two children or more, that you also will offer separate bedrooms for them. In America, for example, they train people to want to have their own rooms by giving them their own rooms when they are babies. This is very unusual in the world. In many other countries, the baby sleeps in the same bed with his parents or in bed near them.The space in the home also shows a lot about psychological space needs. Some families gather closer to each other and the size of their house has nothing to do with it. Othershave separate little corners where family members go to be alone.Although it is true that psychological space needs are not decided by economic reasons, they sometimes have to be changed a little because of economic pressure（压力）. It is almost impossible, however, to completely change your psychological space needs.67. The first sentence in Paragraph 1 “Not everyone in the world requires the same amountof space” means “_”.A. Not two people need exactly the same amount of living spaceB. Living space requirements are not always the sameC. The world requires the same amount of living spaceD. Nobody needs a required amount of living space68. Some families gather closer to each other at home than others because _.A. they have limited living spaceB. they are brought up in a large familyC. it satisfies their psychological space needsD. the children in the family sleep in the same bed with their parents69. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Americans are trained to live in the large rooms at birth.B. Economic situation decides ones amount of space needs.C. People in different countries demand different psychological space.D. Knowing your psychological space needs is important, as it has effect on your future.70. The best title for this passage is _.A. American Way of LivingB. Psychological SpaceC. Space Needs in Different CountriesD.
