This story? Oh, just a little look at small talk. You know, those seemingly meaningless conversations you have doz

14、ens of times a day. Maybe youre waiting for the elevator.Or in a line at the bank. It all seems pretty trivial.

16、n with another person, I can t work.“What causes it? As a rule, youre either trying to force something into your life, or youre using conversation as an invisible force field to keep them out.

17、onversation.The way people use small talk is usually determined by where they happen to be at the time.Take the elevator, for instance. Now theres prime territory. Nobody knows anyone and theres no reason to start a conversation, but invariably, someone does. Making conversation in such peaceful soc

18、ial settings, according to Oliver, “can confirm your territory. Its a way of feeling liked and accepted.“The topics of small talk dont matter.

24、 that my parents had invited the minister s family over for Christmas Eve dinner, I cried in panic What would Robert think of our shabby Chinese Christmas?

28、anaged to bring up a quiet burp.I was shocked into silence for the rest of the night.After everyone had gone, my mother said to me, “You want to be the shame as American girls on the outside. “She handed me an early gift. It was a miniskirt. “But inside you must always be Chinese. You must be proud

29、you are different. Your only shame is to have shame. “It was not until years later that I was able to fully appreciate her lesson and the purpose behind her particular menu. For Christmas Eve that year, she had chosen excellent Chinese food.（分数：12.00）(1).When I found out the minister s family would

Of all the achievements of American engineering, only the landing on the moon and the planting there of a wrinkl

34、ed flag can rival the construction of Panama Canal as an epoch-making accomplishment. The Suez Canal, the trans-Siberian Railroad and the Taj Mahal all pale beside it. The canals construction is more closely akin to the pyramids of Egypt in its scope and difficulty of execution, but in the modern er

35、a, there is only the moon.Like the landing on the moon, the construction of a canal across the narrow Isthmus of Panama was a dream long before it became reality. As early as 1534, Charles I of Spain proposed a canal at Panama, but it would take nearly 400 years for builders to catch up with his ima

36、gination.When the canal finally was proposed required all the creativity the twentieth century could muster. It was the largest public work ever attempted. Its engineers had to control a wild river, cut the continental divide, construct the largest dam and man made lake known to that date and swing

37、the largest locks ever constructed from the biggest cement structures then poured. Along the way, two of the worlds most devastating diseases had to be wiped out in one of their greatest strongholds. And all of this was to be done without the airplane or the automobile: Kitty Hawk rose into the head

38、-lines in 1903the same year the U. S. signed a treaty with Panamaand there was no read across the isthmus until the World War .If Panama has had an unusual role in bygone dreams, it most certainly has a startling relationship to the hard facts of geography. The country is farther east than most peop

39、le imaginethe canal and about half of Panama actually lie east of Miami. Because of the countrys shallow “S“ shape and east-west orientation, it has places where the sun rises in the Pacific and sets in the Atlantic. More significantly, Panama is squeezed into the narrowest portion of Central. At th

40、e canal, just 43 miles of land separate Atlantic and Pacific shores. Perhaps even more important, Panama offers the lowest point in the North American continental divideoriginally 312 feet above sea level at the canals Culebra Cut. By comparison, the lowest pass in the United States is nearly 5,000

41、feet.（分数：12.00）(1).In scope and difficulty, the canals construction was most closely alike to that of the _.A. Suez Canal B. trans-Siberian RailroadC. Taj Mahal D. pyramids of Egypt（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(2).A canal in Panama was first proposed in the _.A. 1, 300S B. 1, 500SC. 1, 6008 D. 1, 700S（分数：3.00）A

42、.B.C.D.(3).The canal was built with the help of _.A. the airplane B. the automobileC. both the plane and the automobile D. neither the plane nor the automobile（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(4).Which of these statements is true?A. About half of Panama lies east of Miami.B. Panama is squeezed into the narrowest po

43、rtion of Central America.C. Panama offers the lowest point in the North American continental divide.D. All of the above are true.（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.England is not a big country: from north to south and from east to west it is only about three hundred miles across. But for a small country it has a surp

44、rising range of climate. People who have never visited England or who have visited only one part of it often makes the mistake of thinking that it is a cold and wet country. Except for the summer months of June to September, this is probably true of the north of England and the Midlands. In the sout

45、h, however, the climate is much more pleasant. One result is that when people retire from the job in the north, they often prefer to move down to the south.Perhaps the warmest part of the country is the southwest, which consists of (is made up of) the counties of Devon and Cornwall, where palm trees

46、, bamboo and many semitropical plants grow well. Flowers and vegetables ripen as much as a month earlier than those elsewhere. Farmers in the areas gain a higher price for their vegetables and flowers because they are ready earlier. In winter there may be several feet of snow in other parts of Engla

47、nd but there will probably be no snow at all in the southwest. This may be one of the reasons why the southwest is one of Englands most popular holiday areas.（分数：12.00）(1).The distance from the center of England to south coast is about _.A. one hundred miles B. three hundred milesC. one hundred and

48、fifty miles D. six hundred miles（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(2).According to the passage, _.A. flowers and vegetables from Devon are on the market one month earlierB. farmers in the southwest grow as many vegetables and flowers as farmers elsewhereC. people in the southwest have to pay a higher price for veget
