24、this 8 to help you, you have to be genuine(真诚的).

I would have given a judgmental explanation and passed along to her my 12 .Pretending to be an anthropologist, however, has 13 my perspective(看法)a great deal, so its made me 14 .I said to my daughter, “Im not really sure, but it
26、s interesting how 15 we all are, isnt it?” She said, “Yeah, 16 I like my own hair.” When you are interested in other perspectives, it doesnt mean youre 17 them.

31、和下文的解释相吻合。3. 提示:英文中常用they来指代someone。4. 提示:既然你对别人的生活和行为感兴趣，那么你也就不可能感到不安了。5. 提示:从下文“rather than react in your usual way”来看，此处是“别人的行为方式使你感到奇怪”。6. 提示:可由when引导的从句到“.they would do that”为止，say是祈使句中的谓语，由此开始是告诫自己的话，因此，say之前用just。7. 提示:see在此相当于regard(看待)。make things表示“制造物品”；find things表示“(丢失后)的找到物品”；D项表示“得到物品
32、”，均与题意不符。8. 提示:第二段谈论的都是别人或者你自己的“行为方式”，因此，此处表示的是“为了让这种方式对你有益”。9. 提示:when在此处是并列连词，相当于and suddenly。10. 提示:在这四个选项中，只有D项可以用于被动语态，表示“打扮)，和上文描述的那群人发型等相吻合。11. 提示:其他三项表示的都是积极意义的单词，只有C项表示消极意义。从下文看，作者多年前对那群人的穿衣打扮是“厌烦的”。12. 提示:views在此相当于opinions,表示“意见、看法”。13. 提示:上文谈论的是以前的看法，此处谈论的是现在不同的看法，因此说，看法已有了改变。14. 提示:soft
33、在此表示言行性格的“宽厚”。既然经过了多年的磨炼，看法已经改变了许多，那么整个人也就变得比过去“温和”了。15. 提示:那群人的发型和“我们所有人的”是不一样的，因此才显得有趣。16. 提示:从“我喜欢自己的头发样式”来看，此处应用表示转折意思的but。17. 提示:be for的意思相当于agree；like和be动词连用时是介词(像)；C项表示“在旁边”；D项表示“反对”。18. 提示:D项表示“把这种发型推荐给别人”；发型是没有办法“赠送；连接；寄送”给别人的，因此排除A、B、C三项。19. 提示:place在此表示“工作、职责”。20. 提示:pull oneself away为固定短语，意思是“使自己离开”。
