16、tory, “I am constantly surprised by other peoples surprise, when they come to the house and see me cleaning a floor or hanging out the washing. Their eyes open wide at the sight of it! Much of the comment comes from men. But I am even more surprised at the number of women who comment too.”His wife J
17、ane, an Oxford graduate in modern languages, has a demanding full-time job. She is director of the Cambridge House literacy scheme (扫盲计划) for adults in South London. Her working week involves several evenings and Saturdays, and at these times her husband is in charge of home and family. Apart from t
18、his, they share household jobs and employ a child-minder for the afternoons. This enables him to teach two days a week and to do what he considers his principal work: writing. He has written several books and spends much of his time in the Museum Reading Room, cycling there from his home in Brixton.
19、People ask the Maces if they think their children miss them. One can argue that satisfied parents generally have satisfied children, but in any case the Maces are careful to spare time and energy to play with their children. “And they have now developed relationships with other adults and children.B
20、efore, Rodney Mace worked full-time and Jane only part-time. Then 18 months ago, the director of the literacy scheme left. “It seems to me that Jane was very well suited to do this job. She was very doubtful about it. But I asked her to apply. She did, and she got it.” Jane Mace says that she needed
21、 this encouragement, as so many women do.Did his male ego (男性自我意识) suffer from the change-over? Nothing like that occurred. But he still seems amazed at the way it changed his thinking. “I felt that we were finally going to be partners. I felt enormous relief, I wasnt avoiding responsibility, but ch
22、anging it. Our relationship is so much better now. It has been a change for the good for both of usthink for all of us, in every aspect of our lives. I cannot overemphasize (过高强调) that: in every aspect, I think it is necessary that the woman works. The idea of equal partnership is an illusion if one
23、 partner doesnt work.24. The article is about a couple whose married life is happier because _.A. they have a truly equal partnership B. the husband enjoys staying at homeC. they earn more money D. the wife has a full-time job25. Jane finally decided to apply for her present job because _.A. she tho
24、ught she had better qualification than others B. her husband had persuaded her to C. it was very well paid D. some of her friends encouraged her to 26. We can infer from this passage that a change-over of roles in the family _.A. is quite necessary in modern life B. is probably based on some practic
25、al reasonsC. aims mainly at a complete liberation of womenD. shows women are not necessarily inferior (低下) to men27. Which of the following statements is true?A. Most Englishmen think that a husband should do more housework than a wife.B. In London the traditional idea about the sex role at home has
26、 been completely changed.C. Many Englishmen and Englishwomen still believe that women are mainly in charge of home and family.D. English people believe that men should take more responsibilities for housework. CWe all have first impression of someone we just met. But why？ Why do we form an opinion a
27、bout someone without really knowing anything about him or her aside perhaps from a few remarks or readily observable traits(特点）？ The answer is related to how your brain allows you to be aware of the world. Your brain is so sensitive in picking up facial traits. Even very minor difference in how a pe
28、rsons eyes, ears, nose, or mouth are placed in relation to each other makes you see him or her as different. In fact, your brain continuously processes incoming sensory information - the sights and sounds of your world. These incoming signals are compared against a host of memories stored in the bra
29、in areas called the cortex（皮质）system to determine what these new signals mean. If you see someone you know and like at school, your brain says familiar and safe. If you see someone new, it says, new and potentially threatening. Then your brain starts to match features of this strangers with other kn
30、own memories. The more unfamiliar the characteristics, the more your brain may say, This is new, I dont like this person Or else, Im intrigued（好奇的）.Or your brain may perceive a new face but familiar clothes, ethnicity, gestures - like your other friends；so your brain says：I like this person. But the
31、se preliminary impressions can be dead wrong. When we stereotype people, we use a less mature form of thinking （not unlike the immature thinking of a very young child） that makes simplistic and categorical impressions of others. Rather than learn about the depth and breadth of people - their history
32、, interest, values, strengths ,and true character ，we categorize them as jocks（骗子）,peeks（反常的人）,or freaks（怪人）。 However, if we resist initial stereotypical impressions, we have a chance to be aware of what a person is truly like. If we spend time with a person, hear about his or her life, hopes, dream
33、s, and become aware of our cortex, which allow us to be humane. 28.Our first impression of someone new is influenced by his or her. A. past experience. B. character. C. facial features. D. hobbies. 29.If you meet a stranger with familiar gestures, your brain is most likely to say A. He is familiar a
34、nd safe. B. He is new and potentially threatening. C.I like this person. D. This is new, I dont like this person. 30.Our thinking is not mature enough when we stereotype people because A. we neglect their depth and breadth. B. they are not all jocks, peeks, or freaks. C. our thinking is similar to t
35、hat of a very young child. D. our judgment is always wrong. 31.Which of the following statements best expresses the main idea of the passage？ A. Ones physical appearance can influence our first impression. B. Our first impression is influenced by the sensitivity of our brain. C. Stereotypical impres
36、sions can be dead wrong. D. We should adopt mature thinking when getting to know people. DMeeting people from another culture can be difficult. From the beginning, people may send the wrong signal. Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship. D
37、ifferent cultures emphasize (强调) the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree. For example, business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust. Even with people at work, it is necessary to spend a lot of time in “small talk”, usually over a gla
38、ss of tea, before they do any job. In many European countrieslike the UK or Francepeople find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafes rather than at the office. Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures. I once made a speech in Thailand. I had expec
39、ted my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion; instead there was an uncomfortable silence. The people present just stared at me and smiled. After getting to know their ways better, I realized that they thought I was talking too much. In my own culture, we express meaning mainly through
40、 words, but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary. Even within Northern Europe, cultural differences can cause serious problems. Certainly, English and German cultures share similar values; however, Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly. We think that they are rude
41、. In fact, this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly. People from different parts of the world have different values, and sometimes these values are quite against each other. However, if we can understand them better, a multicultural (多元文化) environment will
42、 offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other.32. In some countries, eating together at restaurants may make it easier for people to _.A. develop closer relationsB. share the same cultureC. get to know each otherD. keep each other company33. The author mentions his experience in Thailand
43、 to show that _.A. the English prefer to make long speeches B. too many words are of no useC. people from Thailand are quiet and shy by natureD. even talk and silence can be culturally different34. According to the text, how can people from different cultures understand each other better?A. By shari
44、ng different ways of life.B. By accepting different habits.C. By recognizing different values.D. By speaking each others languages.35. What would be the best title for the text?A. Multicultural Environment.B. Cross-Cultural Differences.C. How to Understand Each Other.D. How to Build Up a Relationshi
