16、in a supermarket, my family and I went to the checkout. I suddenly thought we didnt need any of the junk, and we abandoned all of those, saving $300.That got me thinking about all our pointless expenses in life. With a promise that wed stop if it was killing us, I convinced the family to take the le
17、ap into frugality (节俭). The rules were that we would buy nothing for 30 days except absolutely essentials.Our adventure began with a great start. By 9 a.m., my wife, Ruth, had already made cakes from old strawberries and picked flowers I didnt even know we had in the garden. I cleared the car by han
18、d for the first time for years. I read and returned the neighbors newspaper before he woke up. Total spending on the first day: $0.As days turned into weeks, we became so proficient at living frugally. We started riding our bikes to save gas. My childs finger painting was recycled as gift wrap for t
19、he homemade presents. We started to use an Internet application like Skype for free phone calls and ask neighbors with gardens for extra vegetables and herbs.In the end, we saved more than $2000 by not spending for a month. When we began, I imagined we would rush out the moment we were done and buy
20、a lot of things in the supermarket, then maybe hit the mall or go to the movies.24. We can infer from the passage that before that very afternoon, the family _.A. had had higher income B. had had a good habit of saving moneyC. had often spent money without thinking muchD. hadnt realized they would h

For example in American culture (文化) the smile
23、is in general an expression of pleasure. Yet it also has other uses. A womans smile at a police officer does not carry the same meaning as the smile she gives to a young child. A smile may show love or politeness. It can also hide true feelings. It often causes confusion (困惑) across cultures. For ex
24、ample, many people in Russia consider smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even improper. Yet many Americans smile freely at strangers in public places (although this is less common in big cities).Some Russians believe that Americans smile in the wrong places; some Americans believe that
25、 Russians dont smile enough. In Southeast Asian cultures, a smile is frequently used to cover painful feelings. Vietnamese people may tell a sad story but end the story with a smile.Our faces show emotions (情感), but we should not attempt to read people from another culture as we would read someone f
26、rom our own culture. The fact that members of one culture do not express their emotions as openly as do members of another does not mean that they do not experience emotions.Rather, there are cultural differences in the amount of facial expressions permitted. For example, in public and in formal sit
27、uations many Japanese do not show their emotions as freely as Americans do. When with friends, Japanese and Americans seem to show their emotions similarly.It is difficult to generalize about Americans and facial expressiveness because of personal and cultural differences in the United States. Peopl
28、e from certain cultural backgrounds in the United States seem to be more facially expressive than others. The key is to try not to judge people whose ways of showing emotion are different. If we judge according to our own cultural habits, we may make the mistake of reading the other person incorrect

They are at the center of much of the worlds attention. Paparazzi (狗仔队
32、) camp outside their homes, cameras ready. Tabloids (小报) publish thrilling stories about their personal lives. Just imagine not being able to do anything without being photographed or interrupted for a signature.According to psychologist Christina Villareal, celebrities famous people worry constantl
33、y about their public appearance.

34、rities has been around for ages. In the 4th century B.C., painters followed Alexander the Great into battle, hoping to picture his victories for his admirers. When Charles Dickens visited America in the 19th century, his sold-out readings attracted thousands of fans, leading him to complain about hi
35、s lack of privacy. Tabloids of the 1920s and 1930s ran articles about film-stars in much the same way that modern tabloids and websites do.Being a public figure today, however, is a lot more difficult than it used to be. Superstars cannot move about without worrying about photographers with modern c
36、ameras. When they say something silly or do something ridiculous, there is always the Internet to spread the news in minutes and keep their “story” alive forever.If fame is so troublesome, why arent all celebrities running away from it? The answer is there are still ways to deal with it. Some stars
37、stay calm by surrounding themselves with trusted friends and family or by escaping to remote places away from big cities. They focus not on how famous they are but on what they love to do or whatever made them famous in the first place.Sometimes a few celebrities can get a little justice. Still, eve
