16、ry.C. A love story.D. A biography.BIf Albuquerque Police Officer Ryan Holets had his way, this story would never have got so much attention. CNN would not have learned that Holets, while on duty, had agreed to adopt a baby from a homeless drug addict.Holets values his privacy and didnt do it for the
17、 attention. He did it just because he knew it was the right thing to do.On Sept. 23, Holets responded to a call about a possible theft from a convenience store in Albuquerque. By the time he arrived, the thief was no longer there, but Holets spotted a woman in a grassy area behind the store about to
18、 inject a needle into her companions arm. The woman, Crystal Champ, was eight months pregnant.After a short conversation, he learned Champ longed for her child to go to a good family. Holets offered to do just that.When Sergeant Jim Edison learned what Holets did, he was floored. In his 10 years as
19、a police officer, he has seen many “heroic acts” but none like what Holets did, Edison said.Edison awarded Holets for his outstanding service for the city, but felt that wasnt enough.

C The meaning of silence varies among cultural groups. Silences may be thoughtful,or they may be empty when a person
25、has nothing to say. A silence in a conversation may also show stubbornness,uneasiness, or worry. Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable; therefore attempts may be made to fill every gap (间隙) with conversation. Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view
26、it as necessary for understanding a persons needs. Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among people, just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore, when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops,what may be impli
27、ed (暗示) is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing. In these cultures,silence is a call for reflection. Other cultures may use silence in other ways,particularly when dealing with conflicts among people or in relationships of people with different amounts
28、of power. For example, Russian, French and Spanish persons may use silence to show agreement between parties about the topic under discussion.However, Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her.In still
29、another use, persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect,particularly to an elder or a person in authority. Nurses and other care-givers need to be aware of the possible meanings of silence when they come across the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing. Nurses shou
30、ld recognize their own personal and cultural construction of silence so that a patiens silence is not interrupted too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily.

33、ns to Be SilentC. Silence to Native AmericansD. Speech Is Silver; Silence Is GoldDAs more and more people speak the global languages of English, Chinese, Spanish, and Arabic, other languages are rapidly disappearing. In fact, half of the 6,0007,000 languages spoken around the world today will likely
34、 die out by the next century, according to the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). In an effort to prevent language loss, scholars from a number of organizations - UNESCO and National Geographic among them - have for many years been documenting dying languages
35、 and the cultures they reflect. Mark Turin, a scientist at the Macmillan Center , Yale University , who specializes in the languages and oral traditions of the Himalayas , is following in that tradition. His recently published book, A grammar of Thangmi with an Ethnolinguistic Introduction to the Sp
36、eakers and Their Culture, grows out of his experience living, working, and raising a family in a village in Nepal . Documenting the Thangmi language and culture is just a starting point for Turin , who seeks to include other languages and oral traditions across the Himalayan reaches of India , Nepal
37、 , Bhutan , and China . But he is not content to simply record these voices before they disappear without record. At the University of Cambridge Turin discovered a wealth of important materials - including photographs, films, tape recordings, and field notes - which had remained unstudied and were b
38、adly in need of care and protection. Now, through the two organizations that he has founded - the Digital Himalaya Project and the World Oral Literature Project - Turin has started a campaign to make such documents, found in libraries and stores around the world, available not just to scholars but t
39、o the younger generations of communities from whom the materials were originally collected.
