10、：0，分数：0.00)三、Passage One(总题数：1，分数：10.00)When two people are talking to each other, they tend to stand a specific distance apart. Each person has an invisible boundary around their body into which other people may not come. If someone goes beyond this boundary, they will feel uncomfortable and move a

11、way to increase the distance between them. (The major exception is family members and other loved ones.) This personal distance is not due to unpleasant body smell or bad breath, but because closeness leads a sense of intimacy (亲密) that is in disagreement with their relationship to the other individ

12、ual. Interestingly, the average personal distance varies from culture to culture. Americans tend to require more personal space than people in other cultures. So if you try to get too close to an American during your conversation, he or she will feel that you are “in their face“ and will try to back

13、 away. Try to be aware of this; so if the person to whom you are speaking backs away a little, don“t try to close the gap. Also, try to avoid physical contact while you are speaking, since this may also lead to discomfort. Touching is a bit too intimate for nodding acquaintances (相识的人). So don“t put

14、 your arm around their shoulder, touch their face, or hold their hand. Shaking hands when you initially meet or part is acceptable, but this is only momentary.（分数：10.00）(1).When two people talk to each other they（分数：2.00）A.always stand as close to each other as possibleB.usually keep a certain dista

19、 does not make sense to include meals in the price of our tours. We want to give you the freedom of choosing restaurants and ordering food that suits your taste and budget(预算) .

20、 a problem for you to start the day in the way you like best. At lunch stops，your tour guide will show you where you can find salads，soups，and sandwiches. Dinner time is your chance to try some local food. Sometimes the tour guide will let you have dinner at a restaurant of your own choice. At other

27、of our education, my father instituted a summer school for my brother and me.

28、 given time limit. Then we were each separately sent on what was grandly referred to as a cruise in my father“s 18-foot knockabout, spending the night on board, and loaded down, according to my mother, with enough food for a week.

35、he time to know which things on the packaging labels of processed food are helpful or harmful. The additives which we eat are not all so direct.
