It was late.
16、Several times I got stuck behind a slow-moving truck on a narrow road with a solid white line on my left, and I became increasingly impatient. At one point along an open road, I came to a crossing with a traffic light. I was alone on the road by now, but as I drove near the light, it turned red and
17、I made a stop. I looked left, right and behind me. Nothing. Not a car, no suggestion of car lamps, but there I sat, waiting for the light to change, the only human being for at least a mile in any direction.I started wondering why I refused to run the light. I was not afraid of being caught, because
18、 there was clearly no policeman around, and there certainly would have been no danger in going through it. Much later that night, the question of why Id stopped for that light came back to me. I think I stopped because its a part of a contract(契约) we all have with each other. Its not only the law, b
19、ut its an agreement we have, and we trust each other to honor it: we dont go through red lights. Trust is our first inclination (倾向) . Doubting others does not seem to be natural to us. The whole construction of our society depends on mutual(互相)trust, not distrust. We do what we say well do; we show
20、 up when we say well show up; and we pay when we say well pay. We trust each other in these matters, and were angry or disappointed with the person or organization that breaks the trust we have in them. I was so proud of myself for stopping for the red light that night. 28. Why did the author get im

Why was the author proud of himself?A. He made a right decision
23、B. He held back his anger C. He kept his promise D. He followed his inclination DThe meaning of silence varies among cultural groups. Silences may be thoughtful, or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say. A silence in a conversation may also show stubbornness, or worry. Silence may be vi
24、ewed 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 it as necessary for understanding a persons needs.Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of
25、 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 maybe implied(暗示) is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing. In these cultures, sil
26、ence 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 of power. For example, Russian, French, and Spanish persons may use silence to show agreement between parties about t
27、he 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 another use, persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect, particularly to an elder or a person
28、 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 should recognize their own personal and cultural construction of silence so that a patients silence is not interrupted
29、 too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily. A nurse who understands the healing(治愈) value of silence can use this understanding to assist in thecare of patients from their own and from other cultures.32 .What does the author say about silence in conversations?A.
