You wont, however, get anywhere with poor social skills.One reason is that social skills can only be developed in a social atmosphere. So unless you plan to li

19、ve on a desert island for the rest of your life, you need to learn how to get along with other people. Otherwise social awkwardness(難堪)，difficulty in meeting people and being unable to communicate your ideas will hurt no matter who you are.。On the other hand., having great social skills can be helpf

20、ul in almost any situation. If you can easily make friends, share your thoughts and understand other persons feelings, these abilities can make you better at almost anything you do.Genes(基因) certainly play a role in determining how outgoing and attractive you can be. But social skills, like reading

21、and writing, can be trained. You arent born able to read, why do you expect any other skill to develop automatically(自動(dòng)地)？Several years ago, if you had told me social skills were in your genes, I would have believed you. I had few close friends and had difficulty sharing my ideas. I spent most of my

22、 time, lonely. Finally, I was tired of the way things were and made efforts to change them. I joined Toastmasters to work on Public Speaking. I started writing every day and I put myself in new places to meet new people. No improvement took place immediately, but after a few years of work, my old li

23、fe is hardly recognizable. Today I have dozens of close friends I can depend on and hundreds of friends in every area of my life.41. The underlined sentence in the fourth paragraph implies that_.A. there is a great difference between social skills and reading abilityB. if you cant read, you can deve

24、lop social skills eitherC. both social skills and reading ability can be developed automaticallyD. both social skills and reading ability have to be improved through efforts42.The best title for this passage is_.A. The Importance of Strong Social SkillsB. What Good Social Skills areC. What Determine

25、s Social SkillsD. How to Improve social skills43. In the last paragraph the author mainly talks about_.A. his attitudes towards social skills B. his experience in improving his social skillsC. how to make friends D. the benefits of good social skillsBIn England three foreign gentlemen came to a bus

26、stop. They studied the information on the post sign and decided which bus to take. About five minutes later the bus they wanted came along. They prepared to get on. Suddenly people rushed onto the bus and tried to push them out of the way. Someone shouted insulting remarks about the foreigners. The

27、bus conductor came rushing down the stairs to see what all the trouble was about. The three foreign gentlemen looked puzzled and ashamed. No one had told them about the British custom of lining up for a bus so that the first person who arrived at a bus-stop is the first person to get on the bus.Lear

28、ning the language of a country isnt enough. If you want to ensure a pleasant visit, find out as much as possible about the manners and customs of your hosts. You will probably be surprised just how different they can be from your own. A visitor to India would do well to remember that people there co

29、nsider it impolite to use the left hand for passing food at table. The left hand is supposed to be used for washing yourself. Also in India, You might see a man apparently shaking his head at another and assume (認(rèn)為) that he is disagreeing. But in many parts of India a rotating (旋轉(zhuǎn)) movement of the h

30、ead is a gesture that express agreement or acceptance. Nodding your head when offered a drink in Bulgaria is likely to leave you thirsty. In that country you shake your head to express “yes” a nod means “no”.In Europe it is quite usual to cross your legs when sitting talking to someone, even at an i

31、mportant meeting. Doing this when meeting an important person in Thailand, however, could cause offence (冒犯). It is considered too informal an attitude for such an occasion. Also when in Thailand avoid touching the head of an adult its just not done.Attitudes to women vary considerably around the wo

32、rld. In Japan, for example, it is quite usual for men to plan evening entertainments for themselves and leave their wives at home.Knowing about customs and attitudes is useful when you are travelling, but you also need to know the language used to express different degrees of formality (禮節(jié)).44. The

33、three foreign gentlemen looked puzzled and ashamed because _.A. they didnt know the English languageB. someone called their namesC. they didnt know the custom of lining up for a busD. they knocked someone down while getting on the bus45. According to the passage, which attitude to women is usual in

34、Japan?A. Men always go to parties with women.B. Men plan evening entertainments for their wives.C. Men and women have equal rights to go to parties.D. Men plan evening entertainments for themselves, while their wives stay home.46. Whats the meaning of the underlined word “insulting” in Para. 1 ?A. 善

35、意的 B.咨詢的 C.商量的 D.無禮的47. The underlined sentence “Nodding your head when offered a drink in Bulgaria is likely to leave you thirsty.” means _.A. Its probably that you are thirsty if you nod your headB. Youre possibly eager to have a drink if you nod your headC. You probably refuse to drink when you n

36、od your headD. Youd like to have a cup of tea because you nod your headCIn spite of television and other means to pass information, newspaper is still an important source. No country in the world has more daily newspapers than the USA. There are over 2,000 of them. The quality of some American paper

37、s is very high and their views are quoted all over the world. Well-known dailies like Washington Post or New York Times have a powerful influence all over the country. Many people begin their day by reading the paper. In this way they learn what is going on in the world. Sometimes, however, they don

38、t have time to read the news carefully and must be satisfied with a quick look at the front page, at other times, they may be in such a hurry that they have time only for a glance at the headlines.American newspapers try to entertain as well as give information. There are newspapers to satisfy all s

39、orts of readers. Some newspapers are sensational（聳人聽聞的）, which feature crime, sex and gossip(傳播流言蜚語); some are serious, which focus on factua news and the analysis of world events. In big cities there are many types of papers, with several different editions every day. In the small towns there are f

40、ewer newspapers and perhaps only one edition each day. In some areas the paper is even printed weekly.Most newspapers have several sections, especially on Sundays when the section is larger than usual. There are, in addition to the front page with the most important news, the sports sections and bus

41、iness page. Many of these newspapers print columns by well-known journalists of differing political and social views, in order to present a balanced picture.Another type of publications which helps keep the population informed is magazines. Some magazines are published weekly, others are put on mont

42、hly. There are news magazines, and magazines for special interests as sports, photography and music. Some are for men, others are for women or for children. In the United States, you can find the right thing for every taste and interest. 48. From the passage we can see that in the United States _.A.

Every American cant leave daily newspapers in their daily life.DAmong all the fast growing science and technology ,the research of human genes, or

46、biological engineering as people call it , is drawing more and more attention now . Sometimes it is a hot topic discussed by people.The greatest thing that gene technology can do is to cure serious diseases that doctors at present can almost do nothing with, such as cancer and heart disease. Every y

47、ear, millions of people are murdered by these two killers. And to date, doctors have not found an effective way to cure them. But if the gene technology is applied, not only these two diseases can be cured completely, bringing happiness and more living days to the patients, but also the great amount

48、 of money people spend on curing their diseases can be saved, therefore it benefits the economy as well. In addition, human life span(壽命) can be prolonged. Gene technology can help people to give birth to more healthy and clever children. Some families, with the English imperial family being a good

49、example, have hereditary diseases. This means their children will for sure have the family disease, which is a great trouble for these families. In the past, doctors could do nothing about hereditary diseases. But gene technology can solve this problem perfectly. The scientist just need to find the

50、wrong gene and correct it, and a healthy child will be born.Some people are worrying that the gene research can be used to manufacture human beings in large quantities. In the past few years, scientists have succeeded in cloning a sheep, therefore these people predict that human babies would soon be

51、 cloned. But I believe cloned babies will not come out in large quantities, for most couples in the world can have babies in very normal way. Of course, the governments must take care to control gene technology.51What does “these two killers” in the second paragraph refer to ?Agene technology and an

52、other treatment of the two diseases.BThe two murderers who killed the cloned babyCThe two diseases of cancer and heart diseaseDHereditary diseases and cancer52Whats the main idea of the third paragraph?AGene technology can help people to give birth to a baby.BGene technology can be used to clone hum

53、an babies.CHow gene technology can be used to treat hereditary diseases.DGene technology can help the English imperial family out.53In what way gene technology help to treat hereditary diseases?AGene technology helps people with hereditary diseases to live longer.BUsing gene technology, scientist fi

54、nds the wrong gene and corrects it.CUsing gene technology, human babies can be cloned.DDoctors can cure cancer and heart disease with the help of gene technology.54What is the main purpose of writing this passage?AExpressing the writers idea that gene technology will benefit peopleBTelling people th

55、e advantages of gene technologyCTelling the readers that gene technology will not benefit peopleDExplaining that gene technology will also do harm to the humanityEOn Saturday, February 12 ,2000, two things happened that changed everything in my life. The first was that on this day my baby sister was married. She was twenty-six this day, and yet to me she was still my baby sister. I suppose that I pictured her as a little gir
