2. The main purpose of this greeting is to 21 a good relationship between the people concerned, and each language usually has 22 set phrases which can be used for this purpose. Sometimes, though, there can be 23 differences in the type of phrases which can be used, and cultural misunderstandings can easily 24 . The following is a true example.

A young British woman went to Hong Kong to work, and at the time of her 25 she knew nothing about the Chinese culture or language. When she was at the bank to get some money, the bank clerk asked her if she had had her lunch.

After this she proceeded to school and was even more surprised when one of the teachers asked her the same question. By now she realized that it could not be an invitation, but was puzzled 27 why they asked it. In the following days she was asked the same question again and again, and she spent hours trying to 28 why so many people kept asking her this. Eventually she came to a 29 : the people must be concerned her health. She was somewhat underweight at the time, and so she concluded they must be worrying that she was not eating properly!

at all-it was merely a greeting.

A land free from destruction, plus wealth, natural resources, and labor supply-all these were important factor in helping England to become the center for the Industrial Revolution. 21 they were not enough. Something else was needed to start the industrial process. That "something special" was men 22 individuals who could invent machines, find new 23 of power, and establish business organizations to reshape society.

The men who create the machines of the Industrial Revolution 24 from many backgrounds and many occupations. Many of them were 25 inventors than scientists.

A man who is a pure scientist is primarily interested in doing his research accurately. He is not necessarily working 26 that his findings can be used.

An inventor or one interested in applied science is all trying to make something that has a concrete use. He may try to solve a problem by using the theories 27 science or by experimenting through trial and error. Regardless of his method, he is working to obtain a 28 result: the construction of a harvesting machine, the burning of a light bulb, or one of 16 other objectives.

Most of the people who developed the machines of the Industrial Revolution were inventors, not trained scientists. A few were both scientists and inventors. Even those who had 29 or no training in science might not have made their inventions 30 a groundwork had not been laid by scientists years ago.

10. B Your boss has a bigger vocabulary than you have. That's one good reason 21 he's your boss.

This discovery has been made in the word laboratories of the world. Not by theoretical English professors, 22 by practical, hard-headed(精明的) scholars 23 have been searching for the secrets of success.

After a host of(许多) experiments and years of testing they have found out that if your vocabulary is limited your chances of success are limited and that one of the easiest and quickest ways to 24 is by consciously building up your knowledge of words.

Your words are your keys for your 25 . And the more words you have 26 your command,the deeper, clearer and more accurate will be your thinking.

A command of English will not only improve the processes of your mind. It will 27 give you assurance; build your self-confidence; lend colour to your personality; increase your popularity. Your vocabulary is you.

If you consciously increase your vocabulary you will unconsciously 28 yourself to a more important station in life, and the new and higher position you have won will, 29 , give you a better opportunity for further 30 your vocabulary. It is a beautiful and successful cycle.

11. Many people may fail to notice it, but as a matter of fact, most women are serious about their work. On the job, they 21 equal pay for equal work. Work gives a man identity and status. The same often holds 22 for a woman. They want their husbands to take their jobs as 23 as they take their own.

In one instance, a registered nurse followed her sales-executive husband 24 the country as he climbed the corporate ladder(争取晋升). Each time he was 25 , the wife quitted her previous job and found a new position for herself without saying anything. Because the family focused more strongly on the father's career, he tended to think that his wife's jobs were just jobs. It wasn't 26 she received an award from her hospital during Nursing Recognition Week, and he heard her tearful acceptance speech, that he realized how emotionally 27 she was to her profession.

"I felt embarrassed", the husband recalled. "Everyone was applauding(鼓掌) and 28 for a woman I didn't know at all." Now the executive makes a 29 of really listening when his wife talks about her work. Not surprisingly, their relationship has grown 30 the improved communication.

13. There are more than forty universities in Britain-nearly twice as many as in 1960. 16

During the 1960s eight completely new ones more founded, and ten other new ones were created 21 converting old colleges of technology into universities. In the same period the number of students more than doubled, from 70, 000 to 22 than 200,000. By 1973 about 10% of men aged from eighteen to twenty-one were in universities and about 5% of women. All the universities are private institutions. Each has its 23 governing councils, including some local businessmen and local politicians as 24 as a few academics(大学教师). The state began to give grants to them fifty years ago, and by 1970 each university derived nearly all its 25 from state grants. Students have to pay fees and living costs, but every student may receive from the local authority of the place 26 he lives a personal grant which is enough to pay his full costs, including lodging and food unless his parents are 27 . Most students take jobs in the summer 28 about six weeks, but they do not normally do outside work during the academic year. The Department of Education takes 29 for the payments which cover the whole expenditure of the universities, but it does not exercise direct control. It can have an important influence 30 new developments through its power to distribute funds, but it takes the advice of the University Grants Committee, a body which is mainly composed of academics.

14. Rumor is the most 21 way of spreading stories-by passing them on from mouth to mouth. But civilized countries in normal times have better 22 of news than rumor. They have radio, television, and newspapers. In times of stress and confusion, 23 , rumor emerges and becomes widespread. At such 24 the different kinds of news are in competition, the press, television, and radio versus the grapevine. 17

Especially 25 rumors spread when war requires censorship(审查,检查) on many important matters. The customary news sources no longer give out enough information. Since the people cannot learn 26 legitimate(合法的,正规的) channels all that they are anxious to learn, they pick up "news" 27 they can and when this happens, rumor thrives.

Rumors are often repeated 28 by those who do not believe the tales. There is a fascination about them. The reason is that the cleverly designed rumor gives expression to something deep in the hearts of the victims-the fears, suspicions, forbidden hopes, or daydreams which they hesitate to 29 directly. Pessimistic(悲观的) rumors about defeat and disasters show that the people who repeat them are worried and anxious. 30 rumors about record production or peace soon coming point to complacency(满足,自得) or confidence-and often to overconfidence.

15. Men usually want to have their own way. They want to think and act 21 they like. No one, however, can have his own way all the time. 'Society' means a group of people with the same laws and the same 22 of life. People in society may make their own decisions, but these decisions ought not to be unjust or 23 to others. One man's decisions may so easily harm another person. For example, a motorist may be in a hurry to get to a friend's house. He sets out, driving at a full speed like a competitor in a motor 24 . There are other 25 and also pedestrians on the road. Suddenly there is a crash. 26 are screams and confusion. One careless motorist has 27 another car. The collision has injured two of the passengers and 28 the third. 29 many road accidents happen 30 the thoughtlessness of 18

16. The birth rate in Europe has been in a steady decrease since the 1960s. European countries, realizing crisis is at hand, are providing great encouragement for parents to create more babies in the 21st century.

Affairs Ministry concluded last year that, 21 the cash encouragement, some women just don't want to be 22 holding the baby. "What we know is that it's good for the 23 if men and women share the burden of having children," says Soren Kindlund, family policy adviser at the Swedish ministry. 24 Swedish parents can take their paid leave as they wish, men use a mere 12% of it; 60% of fathers do not take even a(n) 25 day off work.

Experts fear that the tendency for women to use most of the parental leave could make employers 26 to give young women the permanent jobs they need to qualify for paid maternity leave(产假). In January, Sweden decided to allow new fathers two months' paid leave, with a warning: use it or 27 it.

Kindlund admits that men are under 28 to stay at work, even though parental pay comes out of the public purse. "It's not popular among bosses and perhaps with other men in the workplace," he says. "But it's good for the father and for the child if they can 29 a relationship."

In Norway, a(n) 30 policy has worked wonders. 70% of dads in Norway now take parental leave, and the birthrate of 1.8 children per woman is one of the highest in Europe.

17. The British love to think of themselves as polite, and everyone knows how fond they are of their "please"and "thank you". Even the simplest business such as buying a train ticket requires 21 seven or eight of these. Another 22 of our good manners is the queue. New-comers to Britain could be forgiven for thinking that queuing rather than football was the 23 national sport. Finally, of course, motorists generally stop at crossings. But does all this mean that the British should consider themselves more polite than their European neighbors? I think not.

Take forms of address (称呼)for example . The average English person - 24 he happens to work in a hotel or department store -would rather die than call a stranger "Sir"or "Madam". Yet in some European countries this is the most basic of common address. Our 25 "you" for everyone may appear more democratic, but it means that we are forced to seek out complicated ways to express 26 . I am all for returning to the use of "thee" and"thou"(Thee and thou are old-fashioned poetic words for "you"); "you" would be 27 for strangers and professional relationships.

And of course, the English find touching and other shows of friendship truly terrifying. Have you noticed how the British 28 ever touch?

Personally, I find the Latin habit of shaking hands or a friendly kiss quite charming. Try kissing the average English person, and they will either take two steps backwards in horror, or, if their escape is 29 , you will find your lips touching the back of their head. Now what could be 30 than that?

18. What is it you want to do, but haven't done yet?

Is it because you think it's too late, or too scary, or because maybe you might 21 ?

Yesterday, while walking the beach with our dog, Sasha, (who usually manages to draw people into conversation) I met a retired couple from the Midwest. They 22 how much they loved visiting the Oregon coast.

"We're both 23 the ocean," the woman said, "and we're blaming ourselves that we didn't buy some property(房产) here 10 years ago."

"Do you think it's too late now?" I asked.

"Well, uh, no," she said, "but it would have been a lot 24 then."

So-will they stay 25 in an area they dislike, or will they dare to try something that feels exciting and 26 ?

If I had known them better, I would have mentioned the old story about the lady who waited so long for her ship to come in 27 her pier(长堤) collapsed(倒塌). Someone once said, "Most people 28 life in a state of quiet desperation(绝望)." Going through life in a state of "quiet expectation" sounds a lot better to me.

What it takes is a conscious change in attitude. That's why in my classes at Oregon Coast Community College I've been encouraging students to 29 their dreams, to be passionate about something, (anything!) and above all, to have faith 30 themselves.

19. Good business ethics in Hong Kong are the key 21 the territory's success in the future. As a 22 international service center of the 1990s, good standards of business 23 are more important than ever.

Since it has become more sophisticated to provide good services 24 trade, finance and commerce, level playing fields for all 25 are crucial. Being treated fairly and the ability to obtain what the outsider see as a square 26 will encourage them to invest 27 the territory.

20. After I had been waiting there for more than ten minutes, I felt certain I must have missed the bus. There was only one thing I could do about that: I should just have to walk home. Of course it was entirely my own fault. Jane had told me the last bus always 21 at Stutton at ten thirty and it was now ten to eleven.

It would 22 me at least an hour and a half and maybe more to walk to my room in Forest End. But there was a 23 moon in the sky and I was quite used to walking much 24 than that. Perhaps I 25 better not take the short cut through the woods, I might easily 26 my way in the darkness.

I was halfway home when I heard a car moving slowly behind me. Could it be my imagination 27 was it actually following me down the hill? Why ever should it be making such slow progress? I decided to 28 what was the matter, so I stood still 29 I were waiting for it to pass me. It stopped just near me, the door opened and a man got out, who said anxiously, "Have you any idea where we can get petrol at this time of night? We've just 30 out completely."

21. Eastern Europe is considered the most polluted of all the world's 21 areas 23

because heavy metals 22 coal mining have contaminated the area's waters. Many rivers, land, and forests are biologically 23 from pollution.

22. American inventor Thomas Edison's manufacturing facilities in New Jersey were heavily 21 by fire one night in December 1914. Edison lost almost $1-million worth of equipment 22 the record of much of his work.

The next morning, talking about the charred embers(灰烬) of his hopes and dreams, the 23 man said: "There is value in disaster. All our mistakes are 24 . Now we can start anew."

Edison understood a great 25 of living: almost any situation-good or bad-is 26 by the attitude we bring to it. Tough-minded optimists approach problems with a can-do philosophy(哲学) and emerge stronger 27 tragedies(悲剧). Indeed, recent studies suggest that optimistic people earn more money, do 28 in school, are healthier and perhaps even live longer than pessimists.

As a psychotherapist(心理治疗专家), I've studied 29 motivates(激励) optimists, analyzing the lives of several hundred people over the years. While many suffered terrible setbacks, all learned techniques for defeating dejection(沮丧) and keeping their enthusiasm high during difficult periods. I believe that if you, too, 30 24

these time-tested ideas, you will get more from life.

23. Why is setting goals important? Because goals can help you do, be, and experience everything you want in life. 21 just letting life happen to you, goals allow you to make your life happen. Successful people 22 how their life should be and set lots of goals. By setting goals you are 23 your life. It's like having a 24 to show you where you want to go. Think of it this way. There are 25 drivers. One has a destination (目的地) in mind (her goal) which can be found on a map. She can drive straight there without any 26 time or wrong turns. The other driver has no goal or destination or map. She starts off at the same time from the same place as the first driver, 27 she drives aimlessly around, never getting anywhere, just 28 gas. Which driver do you want to be?

Winners in life set goals and follow through on them. They decide what they want in life and then get there by making 29 and setting goals. 30 people just let life happen by accident. Goals aren't difficult to set ad they aren't difficult to reach. It's up to you to find out what your goals really are. You are the one who must decide what to achieve and in what direction to aim your life.

24. When Beethoven was 28, he began to notice a strange noise in his 21 . As it grew worse, he went to see doctors, and was told that he was going deaf. This was too much for any composer to 22 . Beethoven was in despair; he was sure that he was going to die. He went to the countryside 23 he wrote a long farewell letter to his brothers, describing 24 sad and lonely his deafness made him. He longed to die.

In fact, Beethoven did something braver than dying. He gathered his courage and went on writing music, though he could hear 25 he wrote more and more faintly. He wrote the music for which we remember him best 26 he became deaf. This music was very different from any that had been composed before. 27 the elegant(优雅的) and grand music that earlier composers had written for their wealthy listeners, Beethoven wrote stormy, exciting music which reminds us 28 his troubled and courageous life. His Heroic Symphony(交响曲) and Fifth Symphony both show his courage in struggling with his fate.

In time he went completely deaf, but he wrote more gloriously(辉煌地) than ever, for he could "hear" his music in his mind. He was lonely and often unhappy, but 29 this, he often wrote joyful music. Because of his courage and strong 30 , his music has given joy and inspiration to millions of people.

27. "Mom, can I have some money?" Those are the words my mother used to hear all the time. In return, I heard, " Why don't you get a job? Not to make me happy, but so that you have your own money and gain a bit more responsibility." So last year I got a job working about 25 hours a week. For $5 an hour, working as a salesman in a photo studio.

After I got this 21 , I had to do football, homework and job at the same time. It was really hard for me. I was burning out, falling asleep at school and failing 22 many courses.

31. Farmers, as we all know, have been having a hard time of it lately, and have turned to new ways of earning income from their land. This involves not only planting new kinds of crops, but some 21 ways of making money, the most unusual of which has got to be sheep racing. Yes, you heard me 22 ! A farmer now holds sheep races on a regular basis, and during the past year over 100, 000 people have 23 to watch the race.

Most people find it difficult to tell one from another in any case." I stayed to watch the races, and I must admit that I found it quite 27 . In a usual sheep race, half a dozen sheep race down hill over a course of about half a mile. Food is waiting for them at the other end of the 28 just to give them some encouragement, I ought to add!

32. Consider these situations: You have just read an excellent book and want to tell a friend about it. You have seen an exciting movie and want to 21 your instructor to go to see it. You have heard an inspiring lecture, and want to 22 your newfound knowledge with a roommate who didn't attend the lecture.

How to give this type of __23__? You could tell everything you __24__ about the book, movie, or lecture, but you will probably just want to select the __25__ points and tell these to your listener. This, of course, is called summarizing.

To create a good summary-one that is both accurate and brief-you need to follow two steps. First, __26__ information by reading, taking notes, or listening carefully so your summary is as brief as possible but still accurate and __27__. Your audience will help you decide how thorough you need to be. If you give your summary to __28__, perhaps for an examination, it will need to be extremely complete __29__ accurate. You will need to keep in mind any __30__ your instructor might have given you during the lecture to indicate what he or she considers especially important. If you are summarizing a movie for a friend, you can be less thorough. Part of the task of summarizing is knowing what to include and what to leave out.

34. To learn with success is not a very difficult task of some fundamental principles 21 to be its bases. In discussing this subject, four indispensable principles should be mentioned, that is, diligence, devotion, 22 and punctuality.

All things can be 23 by diligence. It makes the foolish, wise, the poor, rich, and the humble, noble. It produces a wonderful effect. In learning, the work of a diligent fool doubles 24 of a lazy wit.

Devotion means to set our heart on one thing at a time and give up all other thoughts. Never 25 learning another subject while studying one thing. Those who often change their studies will never succeed in the long 26 .

In order to be successful we need devotion. Constancy makes success 27 . On the other hand, inconstancy often 28 failure. If we study day after day, there is nothing that cannot be achieved. We should remember a worthy proverb, " constant dropping of water wears away a stone."

29 these there is another rule helpful to one's accomplishments, that is, punctuality. The habit of keeping a regular time is 30 to successful learning. Work while you work; play while you play. Every man will certainly become strong and wise if he does these.

35. My 23-year-old son Dan stood in the doorway, 21 to say goodbye to his home. His rucksack was packed and ready for the journey. 22 a couple of hours he was going to fly out to France.

35

Dan was going to be away for at least a year. It was a milestone in his life, a 23 from school days to adulthood. When we were to say goodbye, I looked closely at his face. I would like to provide him with some good advice that would last longer than just here and now.

But not a 24 came from my lips. There was nothing that broke the silence in our house by the sea. I could hear the sharp cry of the seagulls outside, while they circled over the ever-changing and roaring surf. Inside I stood motionless and silent, 25 my son's green eyes with that penetrating look.

I knew that this wasn't the first time I'd let such an opportunity 26 . When Daniel was a little boy, I followed him to the bus on his first day in pre-school. I felt the excitement in his hand that held mine when the bus came 27 . I saw the color 28 in his cheeks when the bus stopped. He looked at me-just like he did now. What 29 it like, Dad? Can I do it? Will I do all right? And then he 30 the bus and disappeared. The bus drove away. And I hadn't said a word.

36. Does money buy happiness? No! Ah, would a little more money make us 21 happier? Many of us would agree. There is, we believe, some connection between having money and feeling fantastic. Most of us would say that, yes, we 22 to be rich. Three in four American college students now consider it is "very important" or "essential" 23 they become "very well off financially". Money matters.

Well, are the rich people happier? Researchers have found that in poor countries, such as Bangladesh, being 24 well off does make for greater well-being. We need food, rest, shelter and 25 contact.

36

But a surprising fact of life is that in countries where everyone can 26 life's necessities, increasing affluence matters surprisingly little. The correlation 27 wealth and happiness is "surprisingly weak", observed University of Michigan researcher, Ronald Inglehart, in one 16-nation study of 170,000 people. Once comfortable, more money provides diminishing returns. The second piece of pie, or the second $100,000, never tastes as good as the first.

Even lottery winners and the Forbes' 100 wealthiest Americans have expressed only slightly greater happiness than the 28 American. Making it big brings temporary joy. But 29 wealth is like health: the utter absence can breed misery, but having it doesn't guarantee happiness. Happiness seems less a matter of getting what we want 30 of wanting what we have.

39. Most people have no idea of the hard work and worry that go into the collecting of those fascinating birds and animals that they pay to see in the zoo. One of the questions that is always asked of me is 21 I became an animal collector in the first place.The answer is that I have always been interested in animals and zoos. According to my parents, the first word I was able to say with any 22 was not the conventional “mamma” or “daddy”, but the word “zoo”, which I would 23 over and over again with a shrill voice until someone, in groups to 24 me up, would take me to the zoo.

When I left, I successfully had enough money of my own to be able to 28 my first trip and I have been going 29 ever since then.

41. Contacts between Japan and the rest of the world have grown a great deal in the twentieth century. In the 21 thirty years, business contacts between Japan and the West have become very important. Many foreign companies now have offices in Japan and Japanese businessmen do business 22 the world.

Differences between Japanese and Western ways of doing business, 23 , often bewilder the foreign businessman and make doing business in Japan difficult for foreigners.

The American businessman, for example, wants to start talking business immediately. He wants 24 decisions. He does not wait. The Japanese, 25 , likes to arrive at decisions gradually after giving them a great deal of thought. Another thing foreign businessmen have difficulty 26 understanding is when a Japanese means "Yes" 27 "No". This is because of cultural difference for a Japanese to say "No" directly.

In English, it is 28 to say "No" to something we do not want to do. But in Japan it is very difficult to say "No". To refuse an invitation or a request with "No", or a similar phrase, is felt to be impolite. It is thought 29 selfish and unfriendly. So instead of saying "No" directly, the Japanese have developed many ways to avoid saying "No". These enable them to avoid hurting other people's feeling. However, this often 30 communication with the Japanese difficult for foreigners to understand and follow.

42. Handshaking, though a European practice, is often seen in big cities of China. Nobody knows exactly when the 21 started in Europe. It is said that long ago in Europe when people met, they showed their unarmed hands to each other as a sign of goodwill. 22 time went on and trade in cities grew rapidly, people in cities began to clap each other's hands to 23 a deal or to reach an agreement. This practice was later changed into 24 hands among friends on meeting or leaving each other."Let's shake (hands) on it" sometimes means agreement reached.

Do the Europeans shake hands 25 they go and with whomever they meet? No. Sometimes the Chinese abroad reach out their hands 26 often to be polite. It is really very impolite to give your hand when the other party, 27 when it is a woman, shows little interest in shaking hands with you and when the meeting does not mean anything to him or her. Even if, for politeness, he holds out his unwilling hand 28 your uninvited hand, just touch it slightly. There is generally a misunderstanding among the Chinese that westerners are usually open and straightforward, while the Chinese are rather reserved in manner. But 29 some people in western countries are more reserved than some Chinese today. So it is a good idea to shake hands with a westerner only when he shows interest in 30 relations with you.

43. Editors of newspapers and magazines often go to extremes to provide their readers with unimportant facts and statistics. Last year a journalist had been 21 by a well-known magazine to write an article on the president's palace in a new African republic. When the article 22 , the editor read the first sentence and then refused to publish it. The article began: "Hundreds of steps lead to the high wall which surrounds the president's palace."

Tides are caused by the 22 of the sun and the moon on the earth's surface; since the moon is much closer, it affects the tides more than the sun. When 23 is directly overhead, it actually pulls on the water that is 24 it. This causes the water level to 25 because water is pulled away from the earth.
