Don't believe all of the stereotypes （模式化管理) you may have heard about Americans. Even

Don't believe all of the stereotypes (模式化管理) you may have heard about Americans. Even the ones that are true in general may not be true about specific individuals or a large part of the population. For example, although Americans tend to be louder than people from other cul-tures(especially at athletic events), many of the people you meet will be quiet and polite. Some people may be intolerant, but most will be pleasant and welcoming. Remember that American films and television exaggerate(夸张)in order to generate excitement, and so present a rather false picture of what life in the United States is really like. Therefore, tourists in the US are not always on their best behavior.

Americans do tend to be more informal than people from other countries. It is common for Americans to wear casual clothing to school and to greet professors by first name. However, good manners and politeness are always appreciated. If you are polite, and dress a little more formally than your American friends, it will not be poorly thought of.

However, some businesses require their employees to wear a uniform. or a suit. It would be improper to wear a T-shirt and blue jeans to a job interview. Some of the more prestigious restaurants require a coat and tie. Americans tend to dress up for cultural events(the opera, theater and ballet)and to dress down for athletic events. Formal wear is required at weddings and funerals, or any other event with religious event. If you rely on the stereotypes, you will likely put yourself into an embarrassing situation

The underlined sentence probably means_____.

A．Some of the stereotypes you may have heard about Americans are not true

B．You should not believe the stereotypes you may have heard about Americans

C．None of the stereotypes you may have heard about Americans should be believed

D．None of the stereotypes you may have heard about Americans should not be believed

Another cultural aspect of nonverbal communication is one that you might not think about:

space. Every person perceives himself to have a sort of invisible shield surrounding his physical body. When someone comes too close, he feels uncomfortable. When he bumps into someone, he feels obligated to apologize. But the size era person's "comfort zone" depends on his cultural origin. For example, in casual conversation, many Americans stand about four feet apart, hi other words, they like to keep each other "at arm's length". People in Latin or Arab cultures, in contrast, stand very close to each other, and touch each other often. (79) If someone from one of those cultures stands too close to an American while in conversation the American may feel uncomfortable and back away.

When Americans are talking, they expect others to respond to what they are saying. (80) To Americans, polite conversationalists empathize by displaying expressions of excitement or disgust shock or sadness. People with a "poker face", whose emotions are hidden by a deadpan expression, are looked upon with suspicion. Americans also indicate their attentiveness in a conversation by raising their eyebrows, nodding, smiling politely and maintaining good eye contact. Whereas some cultures view direct eye contact as impolite or threatening, Americans see it as a sign of genuineness and honesty. If a person doesn't look you in the eye, an American might say, you should question his motives or assume that he doesn't like you. Yet with all the concern for eye contact, Americans still consider staring—especially at strangers--to be rude.

The passage is mainly concerned with ______ .

A．classification of nonverbal communication

B．the reasons why people should think about space

C．the relationship between communication and space

D．cultural aspects of nonverbal communication

第6题

（题干） Imagine waking up and finding the value of your assets has been halved. No， you’re

not an investor in one of those hedge funds that failed completely. With the dollar slumping to a 26-year low against the pound， already-expensive London has become quite unaffordable. A coffee at Starbucks， just as unavoidable in England as it is in the United States， runs about ￥8. The once all-powerful dollar isn’t doing a Titanic against just the pound. It is sitting at a record low against the euro and at a 30-year low against the Canadian dollar. Even the Argentine peso and Brazilian real are thriving against the dollar. The weak dollar is a source of humiliation， for a nation’s self-esteem rests in part on the strength of its currency. It’s also a potential economic problem， since a declining dollar makes imported food more expensive and exerts upward pressure on interest rates. And yet there are substantial sectors of the vast U.S. economy from giant companies like Coca-Cola to mom-and-pop restaurant operators in Miami for which the weak dollar is most excellent news. Many Europeans may view the U.S. as an arrogant superpower that has become hostile to foreigners. But nothing makes people think more warmly of the U.S. than a weak dollar. Through April， the total number of visitors from abroad was up 6.8 percent from last year. Should the trend continue， the number of tourists this year will finally top the 2000 peak？ Many Europeans now apparently view the U.S. the way many Americans view Mexico as a cheap place to vacation， shop and party， all while ignoring the fact that the poorer locals can’t afford to join the merrymaking. The money tourists spend helps decrease our chronic trade deficit. So do exports， which thanks in part to the weak dollar， soared 11 percent between May 2006 and May 2007. For first five months of 2007， the trade deficit actually fell 7 percent from 2006. If you own shares in large American corporations， you’re a winner in the weak-dollargamble. Last week Coca-Cola’s stick bubbled to a five-year high after it reported a fantastic quarter. Foreign sales accounted for 65 percent of Coke’s beverage business. Other American companies profiting from this trend include McDonald’s and IBM. American tourists， however，shouldn’t expect any relief soon. The dollar lost strength the way many marriages break up slowly， and then all at once. And currencies don’t turn on a dime. So if you want to avoid the pain inflicted by the increasingly pathetic dollar， cancel that summer vacation to England and look to New England. There， the dollar is still treated with a little respect. 问题： Why do Americans feel humiliated？A.Their economy is plunging.

B.They can’t afford trips to Europe.

C.Their currency has slumped.

D.They have lost half of their assets.

How does the weak dollar affect the life of ordinary Americans？A.They have to cancel their vacations in New England.

B.They find it unaffordable to dine in mom-and-pop restaurants.

C.They have to spend more money when buying imported goods.

D.They might lose their jobs due to potential economic problems.

In the author's opinion， the weak dollar leads to the following consequences EXCEPT that.A.The dallar has little respect in New England.

B.Europeans begin to think more warmly of the U.S.

C.Imported food is more expensive to the Americans.

D.Some large American corporations make more profits.

According to the last paragraph， what is the author’s advice to Americans？A.They treat the dollar with a little respect.

B.They try to win in the weak-dollar gamble.

C.They treasure their marriages all the more.

D.They vacation at home rather than abroad.

How do many Europeans feel about the U.S with the devalued dollar？A.They think of it as a good tourist destination.

B.They feel contemptuous of it.

C.They regard it as a superpower on the decline.

D.They are sympathetic with it.

第7题

Drunken driving--sometimes called America's socially accepted form. of murder--has become

a national epidemic. Every hour of every day about three Americans on average are killed by drunken drivers, adding up an incredible 250,000 over the past decade.

A drunken driver is usually defined as one with a 0.10 blood content or roughly three beers, glasses of wine or shots of whisky drank within two hours. Heavy drinking used to be an acceptable part of the American man image and judges were tolerant in most courts, but the drunken slaughter has recently caused so many well-publicized tragedies, especially involving young children, that public opinion is no longer so tolerant.

Twenty states have raised the legal drinking age to 21, reversing a trend in the 1960s to reduce it to 18.After New Jersey lowered it to 18, the number of people killed by 18 to 20-year-old drivers more than doubled, so the state recently upped is back to 21.

Reformers, however, fear raising the drinking age will have little effect unless accompanied by educational programs to help young people to develop "responsible attitudes" about drinking and teach them to resist peer pressure to drink.

Tough new laws have led to increased arrests and tests and, in many areas already, to a marked decline in fatalities. Some states are also penalizing bars for serving customers too many drinks. A tavern in Massachusetts was fined for serving six or more double brandies to a customer who was "obviously intoxicated" and later drove off the road, killing a nine-year-old boy.

As the fatalities continue to daily in every state, some Americans are even beginning to speak well of the 13 years of national prohibition of alcohol that began in 1919, what President Hoover called the "noble experiment". They forget that legal prohibition didn't stop drinking, but encouraged political corruption and organized crime. As with the booming drug trade generally, there is no easy solution.

Drunken driving has become a major problem in America because ______.

A．most Americans are heavy drinkers

B．Americans are now less shocked by road accident

C．accident attract too much publicity

D．drinking is a socially accepted habit in America
