19、tors, foreign attitudes toward truth seem uncertain to Americans. In many countries people will tell you what they think you want to hear, whether or not it is true. To them, this implies politeness. To Americans, it is considered misleading-even dishonest-to distort facts on purpose, however kind t

20、he motive. The point is -our priorities(优先 ) are different; in the United States truth has a higher priority than politeness. We are taught from babyhood that “Honesty is the best policy.” Elsewhere, politeness, honor, family loyalty, “machismo” or many other values might come far ahead of honesty i

21、f one is listing priorities. But with us, trust and truth are of paramount importance. If we say of a man, “You cannot trust him.” This is one of the most damning statements that can be made about him. In view of such profound differences in values, it is natural that misunderstandings and irritatio

22、ns often occur, especially in exact areas such as the negotiation of contracts. A Mexican has said, “With us b business is like a courtship(求爱 ).” Americans lack this grace, but on the other hand you can count on their word. You know where you are with them; except in advertising, they will not be “

23、whispering sweet nothings” that they do not mean in order to make you feel desirable! “How far is it to the next village ” the American asks a man standing by the edge of the road. In some countries, because the man realizes that the traveler is tired and eager to reach his destination, he will poli

24、tely say “Just down the road.” He thinks this is more encouraging, gentler, and therefore the wanted answer. So the American drives on through the night, getting more and more angry, feeling “tricked.” He thinks the man deliberately lied to him, for obviously he must have known the distance quite we

25、ll. Had conditions been reversed, the American would feel he was “cheating” the driver if he implied the next town was close when he knew it was really 15miles further on. Although, he, too, would be sympathetic to the weary driver, he would say, “you have a good way to go yet; it is at least 15 mor

26、e miles.” The driver might be disappointed, but he would know what to expect. This often-epeated question of accuracy versus courtesy leads to many misunderstandings between people of different cultures. If you are aware of the situation in advance, it is sometimes easier to recognize the problem. 6

27、7 The best title for the passage should be_. A Truth or politeness B Truth or lying C Cultural differences D Honest Americans 68 In Americans view, people who tell you what they think you want to hear, whether or not it is true, are_. A polite B honest C kind D misleading 69 According to the author,

28、 misunderstandings and angers often occur as a result of_. A the exactness of negotiation B the importance in trust and truth C deep differences in values D lack of respect 70 According to the author, Americans_. A treat a business deal like a courtship B list honor on the top of the list of values

29、C do not whisper sweet nothings in advertising D expect to know the exact distance when asking the way 答案： 【小题 1】 A 【小题 2】 D 【小题 3】 C 【小题 4】 D In 1993, researchers at the University of California at Irvine discovered the so called “Mozart Effect” that college students who listened to ten minutes of

30、Mozarts Sonata for Two Pianos in D major (D大调 ) before taking an IQ test scored nine points higher than when they had sat in silence or listened to relaxation tapes. Other studies also have indicated that people gain information better if they hear classical or baroque (a style of art) music while s

31、tudying. It is said that Albert Einstein was an average student until he began playing the violin. Before that, he had a hard time expressing what he knew, says Hazel Cheilek, orchestra director at Fairfax Countys Thomas Jefferson High School. “Einstein said he got some of his greatest inspirations

32、while playing the violin. It liberated his brain so that he could imagine. In the early 1700s, Englands King George I also felt he would make better decisions if he listened to good music. Reportedly, Handel responded by composing his Water Music suites to be played while the king floated the Thames

33、 on his royal boat. Even Plato in ancient Greece believed studying music created a sense of order and harmony necessary for intelligent thought. The deepest effects take place in young children, while their brains are growing. This year, the same researchers at Irvines Center for Neurobiology of Lea

34、ming and Memory found that preschoolers who had received eight months of music lessons scored 80 percent higher on certain tasks than other youngsters who received no musical training. Music students continue to beat their non arts peers (同龄人 ) on the SAT, according to the 1999 “Profiles of SAT and

35、Achievement Test Takers” from The College Board. Students with coursework in music appreciation scored 42 points higher on the math section of the test than students with no coursework or experience in the arts. All of this to say you are the judge but listening to Mozart certainly wont hurt you. My

36、 point always is that making music is preferable to passive listening and that listening to live music is always preferable to listening to recorded music. Mozart WILL NOT raise your IQ, but it might help you organize your thoughts better before taking a standardized test. 63 When people mention Alb

37、ert Einstein, King George I and Plato, they believe that the effect of music is_. A positive B negative C suspicious D sensitive 64 So far researchers at the University of California at Irvine have done studies about_. A college students who listen to rock music every day B people who hear classical

38、 music while studying C preschoolers with music lessons D music students in SAT 65 Which of the following is an opinion rather than a fact A Handel composed Water Music to be played while the kind floated the Thames on his boat. B Mozart might help you organize your thought better before taking a st

39、andardized test. C Preschoolers with music training scored higher on object assembly tasks. D Music students continue to beat their non arts peers on the SAT. 66 What is the authors opinion about music A He thinks that listening to music is better than making music. B He has a doubt whether listenin

40、g to Mozart will hurt the listeners. C He is sure that listening to the music of Mozart will raise peoples IQ. D He thinks that live concert is better worth listening to than recorded music. 答案： 【小题 1】 A 【小题 2】 C 【小题 3】 B 【小题 4】 D Barack Obama In the past hundred years, the U.S. presidency has turne

41、d more and more to the left not in policy, but in handedness. Barrack Obama is the latest to join a long list of left handed presidents from the 20th century: James Garfield, Herbert Hoover, Henry Truman, Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton were all southpaws. What makes le

42、fties so electable Some experts think left-handed people have a greater aptitude for language skills, which may help them craft the rhetoric necessary for political office. And as for the bout of recent left-handed presidents, some think its because teachers only recently stopped working to convert

43、lefties to rightist at an early age. Bill Gates Claiming the nations richest man among their number is a source of considerable pride for Americas society of southpaws. In fact, the Microsoft titan and philanthropist(巨头兼慈善家 ) is one of a surprising number of U.S. business moguls to be left-handed, i

44、ncluding Henry Ford, John D. Rockefeller and former IBM head Lou Gerstner. But the club seems to be a guys-only fraternity research suggests that while left-handed men tend to earn more than their right-handed colleagues, there is no similar advantage for women. A study by the National Bureau of Eco

45、nomic Research floated the idea that left-handed men favor divergent thinking, a form of creativity in which the brain moves from conventional knowledge into unexplored association. Maybe thats what it takes to develop a net worth estimated at $ 57 billion. Oprah Winfrey The talk-show queen doesnt n

46、eed much more to set her apart from the rest what with her estimated $ 2.7 billion fortune and a magic ability to sell books just by glancing at them but she also has the distinction of being a member of the left -handed club. Since men are more likely to be left-handed than women, that makes Oprah

47、doubly impressive. Shes in good company: Other show-business ladies of the left handed persuasion include Whoopi Goldberg, Julia Roberts and Angelina Jolie Marie Curie Not only was atomic scientist Marie Curie left-handed, but she was the matriarch of a whole family of accomplished, southpaw scienti

48、sts. Curie, who discovered the principles of radioactivity and won two Nobel Prizes, was married to fellow lefty Pierre Curie, who was instrumental in helping Maries atomic research and shared one of her Nobel awards. Historians believe their daughter, Irene, was also left-handed. Irene went on to win a Nobel Prize of her own with her husband who, you guessed it, was also left-handed. 59 The underlined word “
