26、ay.” As smile is a facial expression showing pleasure, affection, and friendliness, it is the commonest way to show our good will perfectly without saying anything. A Chinese saying runs: “never hit a person who is smiling at you.” It is a time-proven fact that the smile is a language all its own a

27、universal languageunderstood by the people of every nation in the world. We may not speak the same tongue as our foreign neighbors, but we smile in the same tongue. We need no interpreter for thus expressing love, happiness, or good will.One day while shopping in a small town in southern California,

28、 it was my misfortune to be approached by a clerk whose personality contradicted mine. He seemed most unfriendly and not at all concerned about my intended purchase. I bought nothing, and marched angrily out of the store. My anger toward that grew with each step. Outside, standing at the corner, was

29、 a dark-complexion young man in his early twenties. His expressive brown eyes met and held mine, and in the next instant a beautiful, dazzling smile covered his face. I gave in immediately. The magnetic power of that shining smile drove away all bitterness within me, and I found the muscles in my ow

30、n face happily responding. “Beautiful day, isnt it?” I remarked, in passing. Then, suddenly something inside me sent me turning back. “I really owe you a debt of gratitude,” I said softly. His smile deepened, but he made no attempt to answer. A Mexican woman and two men were standing nearby. The wom

31、an stepped forward and eyed me inquiringly. “Carlos, he no speak English,” she volunteered. “You want I should tell him something?” In that moment I felt transformed. Carlos smile had made a big person of me. My friendliness and good will toward all mankind stood ten feet tall. “Yes,” my reply was e

32、nthusiastic and sincere, “tell him I said Thank you!” “Thank you?” The woman seemed slightly puzzled. I gave her arm a friendly pat as I turned to leave. “Just tell him that,” I insisted. “Hell understand. I am sure!” Oh, what a smile can do! Although I have never seen that young man again, I shall

33、never forget the lesson he taught me that morning. From that day on, I became smile conscious, and I practice that diligently, anywhere and everywhere, with everybody. When I got excited in traffic, taking the rightofway (公路用地) from the other car with my stupid mistake, Id smile and shrug my shoulde

34、rs apologetically. This action on my part would always draw a goodnatured smile in return. If the other fellow was at fault and if I could remember my resolution in time! hed get a broad smile of understanding. This took a bit of doing at first. Ill admit it wasnt always easy, but it was fun. The re

35、sults were sometimes amazing. Many times, a broad, friendly smile would completely turn aside illfeeling and tension. Im wondering now how many tragic accidents could be avoided on our overcrowded highways, if every driver remembered to smile!59. The author got angry while shopping one day because .

36、A. of the clerks unfriendliness and lack of concern B. of her misfortuneC. she failed to purchase what she intendedD. a darkcomplexion young man laughed at her60. From the conversation between the author and the Mexican woman, we can infer that the woman .A. was welleducated but unwilling to help ot

37、hersB. was able to speak EnglishC. knew some English and was ready to help othersD. was familiar with the young man61. In the authors opinion, if all people remembered to smile when driving, .A. many traffic accidents could be avoidedB. they would receive a good natural smile in returnC. they could

38、get a broad smile of understandingD. they wouldnt feel any tension62. The best title for this passage could be .A. The Art of SmilingB. The Universal LanguageC. The Power of LoveD. The Magic Power of FriendshipCWhen we worry about who might be spying on our private lives, we usually think about the

39、Federal agents. But the private sector outdoes the government every time. Its Linda Tripp, not the FBI, who is facing charges under Marylands laws against secret telephone taping. Its our banks, not the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), that pass our private financial data to telemarketing firms.Consu

40、mer activists are pressing Congress for better privacy laws without much result so far. The legislators lean toward letting business people track our financial habits virtually at will.As an example of whats going on, consider U.S. Bancorp, which was recently sued for deceptive practices by the stat

41、e of Minnesota. According to the lawsuit, the bank supplied a telemarketer called Member Works with sensitive customer data such as names, phone numbers, bank-account and credit-card numbers, social security numbers, account balances and credit limits.With these customer lists in hand, Member Works

42、started dialing for dollars-selling dental plans, video games, computer software and other products and services. Customers who accepted a “free trial offer” had 30 days to cancel. If the deadline passed, they were charged automatically through their bank or credit-card accounts. U.S. Bancorp collec

43、ted a share of the revenues.Customers were doubly deceived, the lawsuit claims. They didnt know that the bank was giving account numbers to Member Works. And if customers asked, they were led to think the answer was no.The state sued Member Works separately for deceptive selling. The company denies

44、that it did anything wrong. For its part, U.S. Bancorp settled without admitting any mistakes. But it agreed to stop exposing its customers to nonfinancial products sold by outside firms. A few top banks decided to do the same. Many other banks will still do business with Member Works and similar fi

45、rms.And banks will still be mining data from your account in order to sell you financial products, including things of little value, such as credit insurance and credit-card protection plans.You have almost no protection from businesses that use your personal accounts for profit. For example, no fed

46、eral law shields “transaction and experience” information-mainly the details of your bank and credit-card accounts. Social Security numbers are for sale by private firms. Theyve generally agreed not to sell to the public. But to businesses, the numbers are an open book. Self-regulation doesnt work.

47、A firm might publish a privacy-protection policy, but who enforces it?Take U.S. Bancorp again. Customers were told, in writing, that “all personal information you supply to us will be considered confidential.” Then it sold your data to Member Works. The bank even claims that it doesnt “sell” your da

48、ta at all. It merely “shares” it and reaps a profit. Now you know.63. Contrary to popular belief, the author finds that spying on peoples privacy _.A. is practiced exclusively by the FBIB. is more common in business circlesC. has been intensified with the help of the IRSD. is mainly carried out by m

49、eans of secret taping64. We know from the passage that _.A. the state of Minnesota is considering drawing up laws to protect private informationB. most states are turning a blind eye to the deceptive practices of private businessesC. legislators are acting to pass a law to provide better privacy pro

50、tectionD. lawmakers tend to give a free hand to businesses to inquire into customers buying habits65. When the “free trial” deadline is over, youll be charged without notice for a product or service if _.A. you happen to reveal your credit card numberB. you fail to cancel it within the specified per

51、iodC. you fail to apply for extension of the deadlineD. you find the product or service unsatisfactory66. Businesses do not regard information concerning personal bank accounts as private because _.A. it is considered “transaction and experience” information is not protected by lawB. it has always b

52、een considered an open secret by the general publicC. its sale can be brought under control through self-regulationD. its revelation will do no harm to consumers under the current protection policyDEvery fall, like clockwork, Linda Krentz of Beaverton, Oregon, felt her brain go on strike. “I just co

53、uldnt get going in the morning,” she says. “Id get depressed and gain 10 pounds every winter and lose them again in the spring.” Then she read about seasonal affective disorder, a form of depression that occurs in fall and winter, and she saw the light-literally. Every morning now she turns on a spe

54、cially constructed light box for half an hour and sits in front of it to trick her brain into thinking its still enjoying those long summer days. It seems to work.Krentz is not alone. Scientists estimate that 10 million Americans suffer from seasonal depression and 25 million more develop milder ver

55、sions. But theres never been definitive proof that treatment with very bright lights makes a difference. After all, its hard to do a double-blind test when the subjects can see for themselves whether or not the light is on. Thats why nobody has ever separated the real effects of light therapy from p

56、lacebo(安慰剂) effects.Until now. In three separate studies published last month, researchers report not only that light therapy works better than a placebo but that treatment is usually more effective in the early morning than in the evening. In two of the groups, the placebo problem was resolved by t

57、elling patients they were comparing light boxes to a new anti-depressant device that emits negatively charged ions. The third used the timing of light therapy as the control.Why does light therapy work? No one really knows. “Our research suggests it has something to do with shifting the bodys intern

58、al clock,” says psychiatrist Dr. Lewey. The body is programmed to start the day with sunrise, he explains, and this gets later as the days get shorter. But why such subtle shifts make some people depressed and not others is a mystery.That hasnt stopped thousands of winter depressives from trying to

59、heal themselves. Light boxes for that purpose are available without a doctors prescription. That bothers psychologist Michael Terman of Columbia University. He is worried that the boxes may be tried by patients who suffer from mental illness that cant be treated with light. Terman has developed a qu

60、estionnaire to help determine whether expert care is needed.In any event, you should choose a respectable manufacturer. Whatever product you use should emit only visible light, because ultraviolet light damages the eyes. If you are photosensitive, you may develop a rash. Otherwise, the main drawback
