第三章第六节测试题

题数：5

1.Shyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people. Shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are excessively concerned with their own appearance and actions. Worrisome thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: What kind of impression am I making? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattractive clothes? It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must affect people adversely. Ａperson's self-concept is reflected in the way he or she behaves, and the way a person behaves affects other people's reactions. In general, the way people think about themselves has a profound effect on all areas of their lives.Shy people, having low self-esteem, are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others. They need reassurance that they are doing "the right thing". Shy people are very sensitive to criticism; they feel it confirms their inferiority. They also find it difficult to be pleased by compliments because they believe they are unworthy of praise. A shy person may respond to a compliment with a statement like this one:" You're just saying that to make me feel good. I know it's not true." It is clear that, while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful. Can shyness be completely eliminated, or at least reduced? Fortunately, people can overcome shyness with determined and patient effort in building self-confidence. Since shyness goes hand in hand with lack of self-esteem, it is important for people to accept their weaknesses as well as their strengths. For example, most people would like to be "A" students in every subject. It is not fair for them to label themselves inferior because they have difficulties in some areas. People's expectations of themselves must be realistic. Living on the impossible leads to sense of inadequacy. Each one of us is a unique, worthwhile individual. We are interested in our own personal ways. The better we understand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our full potential. Let's not allow shyness to block our chances for a rich and fulfilling life.1. The first paragraph is mainly about ().
A：the characteristics of shy people

B：the cause of shyness

C：the questions in the minds of shy people

D：the effect of shyness on people

4.Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A：Shyness helps us to live up to our full potential

B：Shyness enables us to understand ourselves better

How is your family doing when it 1 to manners at the dinner table? Dr. Alex Packer, psychologist, recommends these nine steps: Look for the good. Instead of 2 out all the things your child does wrong, point out what she does 3 . Don't turn dinner into an unpleasant "lecture time." That will turn kids off not only to manners, but to dinner, and to you, too. Don't show up for dinner in just your underwear unless you want your kids to do the 4 . Approach manners as a game. One night a week, try to have a somewhat more formal dinner. Try dressing 5 , serve a special meal, and expect more 6 manners. That will help improve your kids' social graces. Make kids part of the tradition. Invite guests over and let kids help to serve guests. This helps them indirectly learn about the ___7___that surround eating. Try dining out once in a while. Fast food restaurants don't count; dining over Styrofoam doesn't bring out the 8 in manners. And you can't pull someone's chair out for her if it's bolted to the floor.

1.Read the passage and then fill in the blanks by choosing the statements. If women are mercilessly year after year, they have only themselves to blame. Because they tremble at thought of being seen in public in clothes that are out of fashion, they are always taken advantage of by the designers and the big stores. Clothes, which have been wore only a few times have to be put aside because of the change of fashion. When you come to think of it, only a woman is capable of standing in front a wardrobe packed full of clothes and announcing sadly that she has nothing to wear. Changing fashion are nothing more than the intentional creation of waste. Many women spend vast sums of money each year to replace clothes that have hardly been worn. Women who cannot afford to throw away clothing in this way, waste hours of their time altering the dresses they have. Skirts are lengthened or shortened; neck-lines are lowered or raised, and so on. No one can claim that the fashion industry contributes anything really important to society. Fashion designers are rarely concerned with vital things like warmth, comfort and durability. They are only interested in outward appearance and they take advantage of the fact that women will put up with any amount of discomfort, as long as they look right. There can hardly be a man who hasn't at some time in his life smiled at the sight of a woman shaking in a thin dress on a winter day, or delicately picking her way through deep snow in high-heeled shoes. When comparing men and women in the matter of fashion, the conclusions to be drawn are obvious. Do the constantly changing fashions of women's clothes, one wonders, reflect basic qualities of inconstancy and instability? Men are too clever to let themselves be cheated by fashion designers. Do their unchanging styles of dress reflect basic qualities of stability reliability? That is for you to decide.1. Designers and big stores always make money ( ).

第七章第六节测试题

题数：5

1.Passage 3 Throughout human history there have been social prohibitions concerning watching other people eat or eating in the presence of others. There have been attempts to explain these social prohibitions in terms of inappropriate social relationships either between those who are involved and those who are not simultaneously involved in the satisfaction of a bodily need, or between those who already had their meals and those who appear to be shamelessly stuffing themselves with food. Undoubtedly such elements exist in the social prohibitions, but there is an additional element with a much more fundamental importance. In prehistoric times, when food was so precious and the on-lookers so hungry, not to offer half of the little food one had was unthinkable, since every glance was an eager request for life. Further, during those times, people existed in nuclear or extended family groups, and the sharing of food was quite literally supporting one's family or, by extension, preserving one's self.4. If the argument in the passage is logical, social prohibitions against eating in the presence of others who are not eating would be LEAST likely in a society that ( ).

A：emphasized the value of privacy

B：emphasized the need to share personal possessions

C：discouraged yielding too much to one's desires
D：had always had a plentiful supply of food

I sat by a fellow about my own age, 24. He told me his name was Karl Packer, but he told me hardly anything else. He disappointed me because he had so little to say. No opinions, no memories, no tales to tell. Has his home, his education, the war and so on left no mark at all on him? It was very puzzling. The next time I went to Fairburn was in 1974. By plane of course. The President was going to "open" the new town, which had taken 26 years to build. I sat next to a man of about fifty, whose face was a book. The face was brown and lined. There were lines of worry and of fear perhaps. But over them I saw --- success and power. I guessed he was the boss of something. Perhaps he hadn't expected the big job or hadn't wanted it. He had done it well, no doubt. The thing had clearly taught him the power of decision, command. We started to talk... The next two hours were for me the most interesting, even exciting. He kept me silent, open-mouthed with wonder. Our plane landed at Fairburn, I shook his hand and thanked him for making the journey so pleasant I mentioned my name. "The pleasure was mine," he said.

81.Part 3: Reading Comprehension (20%)Passage 1 This is an open letter to the three people who stole my handbag from the department store I am employed as a shop assistant. When you took my bag, I don't know what you thought you were going to get. With my wages, there's not much left on a Tuesday. I hope the ￡5 was useful to you. I have informed the social security office so you won't be able to cash the child benefit next week. I hope that won't leave you too short. But if you really need a couple of pounds, I suppose you could always cash one of the two checks left in my check book. Of course, I phoned the bank right away and the check-cashing card is no longer valid, so it won't be much use to you. Actually I don't mind about the money too much. We single parents who work to support our families understand only too well what it means to be short of cash. However, I don't suppose it went very far among the three of you. Sorry about that! I wish you had left the bag behind and just taken the wallet and check book. There were all kinds of papers in it, and notes and things that I really need. I really think that was very inconsiderate of you. I mean, how would you like something like that to happen to you? Well, perhaps the bag will turn up. It wasn't even an expensive one, just a plain, old brown leather shoulder bag. You probably dumped it in the nearest rubbish bin or threw it into the bushes. We've looked around, of course, but no one saw which way you went after you left the shop. I'm not really angry with you. I know how the pressures of modern living can affect us, but I am sad at the loss of my personal things. I feel violated and helpless. The police were very icy, and they just shrugged their shoulders. "It happens all the time," they told me. Some small comfort, I suppose. But I've lost just a little more faith in human nature. And as my young son said when I told him what had happened, "Why? Mummy, why us?" I couldn't answer that question. I wonder if you can. (384 words)81. The writer wrote this letter probably because she wanted to _____.

86.Passage 2 "When you come back to England from any foreign country, you have immediately the sensation of breathing a different air. Even in the first few minutes dozens of small things conspire to give you this feeling. The beer is bitterer, the coins are heavier, the grass is greener, the advertisements are more blatant. The crowds in the big towns, with their mild knobby faces, their bad teeth and gentle manners, are different from a European crowd. " Orwell was right; England is different, too. In England even the policemen are polite. The English don't like anyone who has bad manners, although they can be very rude themselves at times. They are very friendly -- and yet they are famous for their reserve. You might find English conversation deadly dull, while others find the English the wittiest nation under the sun. One thing you will notice straight away: perfect strangers will say "good morning" to you and start talking about the weather. When you walk into a shop in England, the shopkeeper will say "Good morning" or "Good afternoon" and when you go he will say "Goodbye". By the way, I don't think the local newsagent has fallen in love with you if he calls you "dear" or "love". He is just being friendly. As a rule people are not hostile or aggressive towards strangers. If you bump into someone in the streets, he or she is bound to say "Sorry". It's as if the English were terribly afraid of offending. So even if it's not your fault, they will say sorry -- just to be on the safe side. "Sorry" is one of the few words you can not do without in England; you will need it at least twenty times a day. Apart from "sorry", the two most important words in the English language are "please" and "thank you". You must know them and use them -- unless you want to be thought rude. English people enjoy talking. Wherever you are, you won't find it hard to get talking to people. If you want to start a conversation, start talking about the weather. The weather is the Englishman's favorite topic of conversation. After discussing the sun and rain, people can then move on to other topics -- if they want to. (378 words) 86. According to the writer, most English people ____.

A：never show their feelings

91.Passage 3 Behind the phrase, "keeping up with the Joneses", lies a human story that is found, in one form or another, in every country of the world. In the United States many have been told that anyone can become rich and successful if he works hard and has some good luck.Yes, getting rich creates some problems. When one becomes rich, he wants people to know it. And even if he does not become very rich, he wants people to think that he is. That's what "Keeping up with the Joneses" is about. It is the story of someone who tries to look as rich and as successful as his neighbors. The expression was first used in 1913 by a struggling young American by the name of Arthur Momand. He told the story about himself: He began earning $125 a week at the age of 23. That was a lot of money in those days. Young Momand was very proud of his riches. He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighborhood on Long Island, outside New York City. But just moving there was not enough. For when Momand and his wife saw that their neighbors belonged to a country club they too joined a country club. And when he saw that rich people were expected to ride horses, Momand went horseback riding every day. Momand and his wife also hired a servant and gave very grand parties for their new neighbors. It was like a race, but one could never finish this race because one was always trying to keep up. Momand and his wife could not do that.The race ended for them when they could no longer pay for their new way of life. They left their wealthy neighborhood and moved back to an inexpensive New York apartment. Momand later said that his experience had been a cruel awakening for him. Neverthelss, he was able to see the funny side of it. He looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with their neighbors. He decided that this would make a good comic series for newspapers. So in 1913 he started writing one appeared in many papers across the country. He called it "Keeping Up with the Joneses", because "Jones" is a very common name in the United States. "Keeping up with the Joneses" came to mean keeping up with the people around you. Momand's series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.People never seem to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses. That is one reason why they read the "right" books, go to the "right" universities and eat in the "right" restaurants.Every city has an area where people want to live because others will think better of them if they do. And there are "Joneses" in every city of the world. But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses, because no matter what one does, Mr. Jones always seems to be ahead. (530 words)91.

96.Passage 4 A U.S. male brought up on the East Coast of America stands eight to twenty inches away from another male when in conversation. In talking to a woman he will increase the distance by about four inches. To stand at a distance of about thirteen inches usually has a sexual or aggressive connotation. However, in most parts of Latin America thirteen inches is just the right distance when talking with a person. When a man brought up in a Latin American environment tries to talk to a man brought up on the East Coast of the United States an interesting thing happens. The Latin will try to maintain what he considers the right talking distance. The American will step back. Both will feel uncomfortable without quite understanding why. All they know is that there is something wrong with the other one. Most culture-blind Latins feel that the Americans are withdrawn and uncommunicative. Most culture-blind Americans think that Latins are pushy. In most American urban areas, to be two minutes late for an appointment is all right. Three minutes is significant, but an apology is not expected. After five minutes the latercomer mutters an apology. In most Latin countries a five-minute unit is not important, an apology is expected only for a time unit longer than twenty minutes. Latins, influenced by their own cultural conditioning, feel that Americans are not polite and are obsessed with time because they expect persons with whom they have appointments to be at a certain place at precisely a given time. A person unfamiliar with North American cultural conditioning has difficulty realizing that Americans handle time much like some tangible material -- spending it, taking it, using it up or wasting it. Different people live almost literally in different worlds, not just the same world with different names attached. The barriers between cultures would perhaps be relatively unimportant if only a few people were crossing international borders. But people the world over are on the move today as never before, traveling for business and more for seeing and experiencing other ways of life. All this has its obvious benefits. At the same time, however, there are some dangers, particularly for a person who plans to spend any appreciable amount of time in another culture. One of these dangers is the sense of confusion and misunderstanding that social psychologists call culture shock. A person who enters a foreign culture ordinarily passes through three phases of adjustment. First, he is a spectator; he observes what is going on around him but does not participate. Second, he become personally involved in the ways of the foreign culture and tries to come to terms with them. Finally, either he will have mastered the new situation and will get along smoothly in the new culture or he will realize that his own culture is the only workable one for him. In the first phase, that of spectator, the initial reaction to a new country is likely to be one of curiosity and delight. Everything looks interesting. However, a few weeks' time change one's perception of the environment. Living in a country is quite different from just visiting it. As the person begins to move into the second and most difficult phase, that of participation and personal involvement in the unfamiliar culture, he becomes aware of the differences that exist between himself and the people with whom he is living. The situations which, in his first phase as spectator, were interesting are now incomprehensible and perhaps even unpleasant. He feels that he can't get through to them and he becomes uneasy and insecure because he doesn't know the right way of doing things. Culture shock is precipitated by the distressing feelings of uncertainty and anxiety that result from not finding all the familiar symbols, signs, and cues that guide a person through her own culture. She finds herself having to use a different design for living. She doesn't know what people expect of her and what she should expect. She is not sure when to shake hands, how much to tip, where to buy things she needs, or what to say to waiters, and she finds that the social etiquette she has learned is no longer useful. Culture shock is often accompanied by a linguistic shock that makes it even more difficult to cross the cultural barriers. When I was suffering linguistic shock, English sentence would sound to me like a long, unpronounceable string of harsh noises. At that time I deeply regretted that I had chosen to learn English instead of some sensible language. I couldn't see why the English people had to use these odd, barbaric utterances instead of speaking with normal human words like everyone else. I sometimes had the feeling that Americans spoke English in order to confuse unsuspecting foreigners. 96. The statement "the Latin will try to maintain what he considers the right talking distance" implies that the Latin will _____.

B：try to keep the talking distance at about thirteen inches

C：keep moving forward until the American steps back
