I have been afraid to sleep for the last few weeks. I am so tired that, final
12、ly, I do sleep, but only for a few minutes. It is not a bad dream that wakes me ; it is the reality I took with me into sleep . I try to think of something else. Immediately the woman in the marketplace comes into my mind. I was on my way to dinner last night when I saw her . She was selling skirts.
13、 She moved with the same ease and loveliness I often saw in the women of Laos. Her long black hair was as shiny as the black silk of the skirts she was selling . In her hair, she wore three silk ribbons, blue , green, and white. They reminded me of my childhood and how my girlfriends and I used to s
14、pend hours braiding ribbons into our hair. I dont know the word for “ribbons“ , so I put my hand to my own hair and, with three fingers against my head , I looked at her ribbons and said “Beautiful. “ She lowered her eyes and said nothing. I wasnt sure if she understood me(I dont speak Laotian very
15、well). I looked back down at the skirts. They had designs in them: squares and triangles and circles of pink and green silk. They were very pretty. I decided to buy one of those skirts, and I began to bargain with her over the price. It is the custom to bargain in Asia. In Laos bargaining is done in
16、 soft voices and easy moves with the sort of quiet peacefulness. She smiled, more with her eyes than with her lips. She was pleased by the few words I was able to say in her language, although they were mostly numbers, and she saw that I understood something about the soft playfulness of bargaining.
17、 We shook our heads in disagreement over the price; then, immediately, we made another offer and then another shake of the head. She was so pleased that unexpectedly, she accepted the last offer I made. But it was too soon. The price was too low. She was being too generous and wouldnt make enough mo
18、ney. I moved quickly and picked up two more skirts and paid for all three at the price set; that way I was able to pay her three times as much before she had a chance to lower the price for the larger purchase. She smiled openly then, and, for the first time in months, my spirit lifted. I almost fel
19、t happy. The feeling stayed with me while she wrapped the skirts in a newspaper and handed them to me. When I left, though, the feeling left, too. It was as though it stayed behind in marketplace. I left tears in my throat. I wanted to cry. I didnt , of course. I have learned to defend myself agains
20、t what is hard; without knowing it, I have also learned to defend myself against what is soft and what should be easy. I get up, light a candle and want to look at the skirts. They are still in the newspaper that the woman wrapped them in. I remove the paper, and raise the skirts up to look at them
21、again before I pack them. Something falls to floor. I reach down and feel something cool in my hand. I move close to the candlelight to see what I have. There are five long silk ribbons in my hand, all different colours. The woman in the maketplace! She has given these ribbons to me! There is no def
22、ense against a generous spirit, and this time I cry, and very hard, as if I could make up for all the months that I didnt cry.（分数：10.00）(1).According to the writer, the woman in the marketplace_.（分数：2.00）A.refused to speak to herB.was pleasant and attractiveC.was selling skirts and ribbonsD.recogniz

But much of the archipelagos political establishment, which includes the White Americans who dominated
27、 until the Second World War and people of Japanese, Chinese and Filipino origin, is opposed to the idea. The islands were annexed by the US in 1898 and since then Hawaiis native peoples have lived worse than any of its other ethnic groups. They make up over 60 percent of the states homeless, suffer
28、levels of unemployment and their life span is five years less than the average Hawaiians. They are the only major US native group without some degree of autonomy. But a sovereignty advisory committee set up by Hawaiis frist native governor, John Waihee, has given the natives cause a major boost be r
29、ecommending that the Hawaiian natives decide by themselves whether to reestablish a sovereign Hawaiian nation. However, the Hawaiian natives are not united in their demands. Some just want greater autonomy with the stateas enjoyed by many American Indian natives overmatters such as education. This i
30、s a position supported by the Office of Hawaiian Affairs(OHA), a state agency set up in 1978 to represent to natives interests and which has now become the moderate face of the native sovereignty movement. More ambitions in the Ka Lahui group, which declared itself a new nation in 1987 and wants ful
31、l, official independence from the US. But if Hawaiian natives are given greater autonomy, it is far from clear how many people this will apply to. The state authorities only count as native those people with more than 50 percent Hawaiian blood. Native demands are not just based on political grievanc
32、es, though. They also want their claim on 660, 000 hectares of Hawaiian crown land to be accepted. It is on this issue that native groups are facing most opposition from the state authorities. In 1933, the state government paid the OHA US $ 136 million in back rent on the crown land and many officia
33、ls say that by accepting this payment the agency has given up its claims to legally own the land. The OHA has vigorously disputed this.（分数：10.00）(1).Hawaiis native minority refers to_.（分数：2.00）A.Hawaiis ethnic groupsB.people of Filipino originC.the Ka Lahui groupD.people with 50% Hawaiian blood(2).W

Whether one is buttonholing potential clients for a c
38、arpentry service, announcing ones latest academic appointment, or “networking“ with fellow executives, it is permissible to advertise ones talents and availability by an outstretched hand and the statement “Heres my card. “ As Robert Louis Stevenson once observed, everybody makes his living by selli
39、ng something. Business cards facilitate this endeavor. It has not always been this way. The cards that we use today for commercial purposes are a vulgarization of the nineteenth-century social calling cards, an artifact with a quite different purpose. In the Gilded Age, possessing a calling card ind
40、icated not that you were interested in forming business relationships, but that your money was so old that you had no need to make a living. For the calling-card class, life was a continual round of social visits, and the protocol(礼遇)governing these visits was inextricably linked to the proper use o
41、f cards. Pick up any etiquette manual predating World War I, and you will find whole chapters devoted to such questions as whether a single gentleman may leave a card for a lady; when a lady must, and must not, turn down the edges of a card; and whether an unmarried girl of between fourteen and seve
42、nteen may carry more than six or less than thirteen cards in her purse in months beginning with a “J“. The calling card system was especially cherished by those who made no distinction between manners and mere form, and its preciousness was well defined by Mrs. John Sherwood. Her 1887 manual called
43、the card “the field mark and device“ of civilization. The business version of the calling card came in around the middle of the century, when the formerly, well defined borders between the commercial and the personal realms were used widely, society mavens(专家)considered it unforgivable to fuse the t
44、wo realms. Emily Posts contemporary Lilian Eichler called it very poor taste to use business cards for social purposes, and as late as 1967 Amy Vanderbilt counseled that the merchants marker “may never double for social purposes“.（分数：10.00）(1).According to the author, people distribute their busines
45、s cards in order to_.（分数：2.00）A.make their livingB.show their social statusC.facilitate selling their productsD.illustrate the fluidity of the world of trade(2).The sentence “your money was so old“ in the second paragraph means_.（分数：2.00）A.you had a lot of moneyB.your money was uselessC.you had an o
46、ld pound noteD.you inherited a fortune from your ancestor(3).What is NOT true about the calling-card class in the 19 th century?（分数：2.00）A.They used their calling cards to win ladies favor.B.There were guide books on the protocol for them to read.C.They lived a leisured life without worrying about e
47、arning a living.D.Their use of cards was supposed to go by a set of complex rules of manner.(4).According to the passage, business cards are likely to have appeared_.（分数：2.00）A.after 1967B.after World War I.C.at the beginning of the 19th centuryD.at the beginning of the 20th century(5).Which of the
