9、ve and move in the direction of improving your life. Richard Crawford was only six years old when his mother, a beautiful 32-year-old woman, first brought him to me. She claimed that Richard had “problems“ adjusting to the divorce shes acquired only five months previously. But after several sessions

10、, she tearfully confessed that bringing Richard to see me was only an excuse to get help for herself. “I felt shy at first about telling you the truth, but I simply have to get the whole thing off my mind. Since I divorced Clive about five months ago, my lifes collapsed. I feel so depressed, lonely,

11、 rejected, and afraid of the future!“ “And now you feel the divorce was a big mistake?“ I asked. “Yes. But I was the one who wanted the divorce, and now I feel so miserable and depressed. I guess I m too mixed up to think in a clear way.“ She replied. “Its very common for somebody to realize gradual

12、ly that life after a divorce can be more hurtful, in so many unexpected ways, than the life they endured with their former spouse(配偶). Right now things looked pretty grim and hopeless. But youll survive, and hopefully, start a new and better life for yourself and Richard. “ You should not use Richar

13、d as an excuse not to be socially active. Youve a right to build a new life for yourself, to change your style of living to suit your new circumstances.

15、ho was divorced by her husband3.One thing almost everyone is agreed on, including Americans, is that they place a very high valuation upon success. Success does not necessarily mean material rewards but recognition of some sortpreferably measurable. If the boy turns out to be a preacher, instead of

16、a businessman, thats all right. But the bigger his church and congregation, the more successful he is judged to be.A good many things contributed to this accent on success. There was the Puritan belief in the virtue of work, both for its own sake and because the rewards it brought were regarded as s

17、igns of Gods love. There was the richness of opportunity in a land waiting to be settled. There was the lack of a settled society with fixed ranks and classes, so that a man was certain to rise through achievement. There was the determination of the immigrant to gain in the new world what had been d

18、enied to him in the old, and on the part of his children an urge to throw off the immigrant onus(负担) by still more success and still more rise in the fluid, classless society. Brothers didnt compete within the family for the favor of the parents as in Europe, but strove for success in the outer worl

19、d, along paths of their own choosing. What is the main idea of the passage?（分数：2.00）A.Americans place a high valuation upon success.B.There are many ways to gain success in America.C.How success is measured in America.D.The Puritan believe in success.4.Exchange a glance with someone, and then look a

20、way. Do you realize that you have made a statement? Hold the glance for a second longer, and you have made a different statement. Hold it for 3 seconds, and the meaning has changed again. For every social situation, there is a permissible time that you can hold a persons gaze without being intimate,

21、 rude, or aggressive. If you are on an elevator, what gaze-time are you permitted? To answer this question, consider what you typically do. You very likely give other passengers a quick glance to size them up (打量) and to assure them that you mean no threat. Since being close to another person signal

22、s the possibility of interaction, you need to emit a signal telling others you want to be left alone. So you cut off eye contact, which sociologist Erving Goffman(1963) calls “a dimming of the lights“. You look down at the floor, at the indicator lights, anywhere but into another passengers eyes. Sh

23、ould you break the rule against staring at a stranger on an elevator, you will make the other person exceedingly uncomfortable, and you are likely to feel a bit strange yourself. If you hold eye contact for more than 3 seconds, what are you telling another person? Much depends on the person and the

24、situation. For instance a man and a woman communicate interest in this manner. They typically gaze at each other for about 3 seconds at a time, and then drop their eyes down for 3 seconds, before letting their eyes meet again. But if one man gives another man a 3-second-plus stare, he signals “I kno

25、w you,“ “I am interested in you,“ or “You look peculiar and I am curious about you.“ This type of stare often produces hostile feelings. The passage mainly discusses _.（分数：2.00）A.the limitation of eye contactB.the exchange of ideas through eye contactC.proper behavior in various situationsD.the role

26、 of eye contact in interpersonal communication5.In the second half of year, many powerful storms are born in the tropical Atlantic and Caribbean seas. Of these, only about a half a dozen generate the strong, circling winds of 75 miles per hour or more that give them hurricane status, and several usu

27、ally make their way to the coast. There they cause millions of dollars of damage, and bring death to large number of people. The great storms that hit the coast start as innocent circling disturbances even thousands of miles out to sea. As they travel aimlessly over water warmed by the summer sun, t

28、hey are carried westward by the trade winds. When conditions are just right, warm, moist air flows in at the bottom of such a disturbance, moves upward through it and comes out at the top. In the process, the moisture in this warm air produces rain, and with it the heat that is converted to energy i

29、n the form of strong winds. As the heat increases, the young hurricane begins to swirl in a counter-clockwise motion. The average life of a hurricane is only about nine days, but it contains almost more power than we can imagine. The energy in the heat released by a hurricanes rainfall in a single d

30、ay would satisfy the entire electrical needs of the United States for more than six months. Water, not wind, is the main source of death and destruction in a hurricane. A typical hurricane brings 6 to 12 inch downpours resulting in sudden floods. Worst of all is the powerful movement of the sea the

31、mountains of water moving toward the low-pressure hurricane center. The water level rises as much as 15 feet above normal as it moves toward shore.
