Silence may be _28_, or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say. A silence in conversation may also show stubbo
14、rnness, uneasiness, or worry. Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable; therefore attempts may be made to fill every _29_ with conversation. Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a persons needs. Many native American
15、s value silence and feel it is a basic part of _30_ among people, just at some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore when a person from one of these culture is speaking and suddenly stops, what may be _31_ is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before conti
16、nuing. In these culture, silence is a call for _32_. Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly when dealing with _33_ among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power.

17、ties about the topic under discussion. However, Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority(权威)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 el
18、der or a person in authority. Nurses and other care-givers need to be aware of the _35_ meanings of silence wen they come across the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing. Nurses should recognize their own persona and cultural construction of silence so that a patients silence is not _
19、36_ too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily. A nurse who understands the haling _37_ of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.

28、n B(A) As more and more people speak the global languages of English, Chinese, Spanish, and Arabic, other languages are rapidly disappearing. In fact, half of the 6,000 - 7,000 language spoken around the world today will likely die out by the next century, according to the United Nations Educational
29、, Scientific, an 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 an the cultures they reflect. Mark Turin, a scientist at the Macmillan Ce
30、nter, 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 Speakers and Their Culture, grows out of his experience living, working, and rais
31、ing 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 Himalaya reaches of India, Nepal, Bhutan, and China. But he is not content to simply record these voices before the
32、y 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 badly in need of care and protection. Now, through the two organizations that he has r
33、ounded - the Digital Himalaya Project and the World Oral Literature Project - Turin has started a campaign t make such documents, found in libraries and stores around the world, available not just to scholars but to the younger generations of communities from whom the materials were originally colle
34、cted. Thanks to digital technology and the widely available Internet, Turin notes, the endangered languages can be saved and reconnected with speech communities.53. Many scholars are making efforts to _.A. promote global languages B. rescue disappearing languages C. search for language communities D

36、tudies in India. B. The documents available at Yale.C. His language research in Bhutan. D. His personal experience in Nepal.56. Which of the following best describes Turins work?A.

37、nge is depends a lot on your attitude towards it and your resistance to it. Your attitude to change can make the whole transformation process much easier. Imagine change as a pair of shoes and this will help you understand change and how it works. I am sure that you have ever had a comfortable pair
38、of shoes in your life. A pair of shoes is so comfortable that you really dont want to get rid of them. You know you need a new pair, and may even have them, but you dont want to wear them because you are comfortable with your current pair. Besides, the new pair may hurt your feet, give you blisters(
39、水疱)or be awkward to wear to start with. So, you resist the new shoes. However, you know that this new pair would be much better for your feet, and after the initial discomfort they would probably be even more comfortable, yet you still resist. Do you know Im doing this now? Im wearing my comfortable
40、 shoes and they feel good. They have a hole in each heel, and the sole is starting to fall of, but Im persisting in wearing them. This describes change exactly; change of our habits, change of our thought patterns. We stick with the old patterns because they are comfortable. Yet once we get over the
41、 initial pain of the transformation, the new pattern will be comfortable and feel good until the time comes when we need another new pair of shoes. 57. Why do people prefer old shoes to new ones?A. They have much emotion in the old ones.B. They are more comfortable.C. New shoes always harm the feet.
42、D. They look better than the new ones.58. According to the passage, we know that people _.A. dont realize the benefit of the new shoes very wellB. are positive and open - minded to accept new things C. actually know the change will finally be good for them D. dont accept new patterns because they ar
43、e not good59. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Once we form a habit, its difficult to change it.B. Most people pay more attention to the future life.C. Ones attitude to towards something is usually traditional.D. The more often we change, the better our life will be.(C)A. Tears help you when
44、 you feel you are ready to explode because of very strong feelings.B. It is useful to reduce the nerve of our eyes and make them comfortable.C. They practice crying so that they can get used to expressing emotion. D. This film contains a substance that protects your eyes against infection.AB. They h
45、ave brought a lot of benefits for treating patients. AC. Its good to hold back tears during a tense business discussion.The Value of Tears Tears can ruin make-up, bring conversation to a stop, and give you a runny nose. They can leave you embarrassed and without energy. However, crying is a fact of
46、life . and tears are very useful. Even when youre not crying, your eyes produce tears. These create a film(薄膜)over the eyes surface. (60)_ Tears relieve stress, but we lend to fight them for all sorts of reasons. “People worry about showing their emotions. Theyre afraid that once they lose control,
47、theyll never get it back,” explains psychologist Dorothy Rowe. “As children we were sometimes punished for shedding tears or expressing anger. As adults we still fear the consequences of showing emotions.” Almost any emotion - good or bad, happy or sad - can cause tears. Crying is a way that we rele
48、ase built - up emotions. (61) _ It may explain why people who are afraid to cry often suffer more heart attacks than people cry more freely. When some people become very stressed, however, they cant cry. They may be feeling shock, anger, fear, or grief, but they repress the emotion. “Everyone has th
49、e need to cry,” says psychotherapist Vera Diamond. Sometime in therapy sessions, patients participate in crying exercise. (62) _ Diamond says its best to cry in safe, private places, like under the bed covers or in the car. Thats because many people get uncomfortable when others cry in front of them
50、. In fact, they may be repressing their own need to cry. In certain situations, such as at work, tears are not appropriate (63) _ “But once you are safely behind closed doors, dont just cry,” Diamond says, she suggests that you act out the whole situation again and be as noisy and angry as you like.
51、 It will help you feel better. “ And,” she adds, “once your tears have released the stress, you can begin to think of logical way to deal with the problem.” Tears are a sign of our ability to feel. You should never be afraid to cry. Translation: 64. 我很荣幸被邀请到这里来演讲。(honor)65. 无论谁犯错,都不能免于受批评。(spare,主语从
