Friends play an important part in our lives, but we dont know much about how to make friends. As we get to know people, we consider things like age, races, looks and social positions. Thus it is more difficult for people to become friends if there is a big difference in age and background. However, some people dont think these factors are of the most importance.
Passage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.What are the specific traits that will assist executives to climb the ladder of success? Opinions vary widely. Given approximately equal qualifications and circumstances，some claim the success factor is largely a matter of luck-being in the right place at the right time. Others speak of an almost crazy devotion to work，combined with a degree of ruthlessness. One “expert” maintains that it's undoubtedly a matter of how much education your mother had.To make it big，executives must possess four basic skills：First，drive. Business success takes an unusual amount of energy. A successful executive-almost by definition-is a striver. He will get tense when he is not striving.Second，people sense. Some say being able to judge people is more important than a high IQ. The skill can be instinctual(本能的)，but in most cases it is painstakingly learned.Third，communications ability. Different executives make themselves understood in different ways. Some transmit ideas best face to face；others are masters of the telephone call；still others are persuasive writers. One way or another，they all communicate clearly.Fourth，calm under pressure. No businessman will get very far if he chokes up.Some people claim that besides hard work，the success also requires______.A. equal qualificationsB. specific traitsC. much educationD. a degree of cruelty

Passage ThreeNo one knows exactly how many disabled (残废的) people there are in the world, but estimates suggest the figure is over 450 million. The number of disabled people in India alone is probably more than double the total population of Canada.In the United Kingdom, about one in ten people have some disability. Disability is not just something that happens to other people. As we get older, many of us will become less mobile (可动的), hard of hearing or have failing eyesight.Disablement can take many forms and occur at any time of life. Some people are born with disabilities. Many others become disabled as they get older. There are many progressive disabling diseases. The longer time goes on, the worse they become. Some people are disabled in accidents. Many others may have a period of disability in the form. of a mental illness. All are affected by people's attitude towards them.Disabled people face many physical barriers. Next time you go shopping or to work or visit friends, imagine how you would manage if you could not get up steps, or on to buses and trains. How would you cope if you could not see where you were going or could not hear the traffic? But there are other barriers: prejudice can be even harder to break down and ignorance inevitably represents by far the greatest barrier of all. It is almost impossible for the able-bodied to fully appreciate what the severely disabled go through, so it is important to draw attention to these barriers and show that it is the individual person and their ability, not their disability, which counts.41. The first paragraph points out that ______.A. it is possible to get an exact figure of the world's disabled peopleB. there are many disabled people in the worldC. the number of disabled people in India is the greatestD. India has not much more disabled people than Canada
The process of perceiving others is rarely translated(to ourselves or others) into cold,objective terms．"She was 5 feet 8 inches tall, had fair hair, and wore a colored skirt．" More often, we try to get inside the other person to pinpoint his or her attitudes, emotions, motivations,abilities, ideas, and characters． Furthermore, we sometimes behave as if we can accomplish this difficult job very quickly--perhaps with a two-second glance．We try to obtain information about others in many ways． Berger suggests several methods for reducing uncertainties about others; who are known to you so you can compare the observed person's behavior with the known others' behavior, observing a person in a situation where social behavior is relatively unrestrained or where a wide variety of behavioral responses are called for,deliberately structuring the physical or social environment so as to observe the person's responses to specific stimuli, asking people who have had or have frequent contact with the person about himor her, and using various strategies in face-to-face interaction to uncover information about another person--question, self-disclosures, and so on．Getting to know someone is a never-ending task, largely because people are constantlychanging and the methods we use to obtain information are often imprecise． You may have known someone for ten years and still know very little about him． If we accept the idea that we won't ever fully know another person, it enables us to deal more easily with those things that get in the way of accurate knowledge such as secrets and deceptions． It will also keep us from being too surprised or shocked by seemingly inconsistent behavior． Ironically, those things that keep us from knowing another person too well (e． g． secrets and deceptions) may be just as important to the development of a satisfying relationship as those things that enable us to obtain accurate knowledge about a person (e． g． disclosures and truthful statement)．Some people are often surprised by what other people do． According to Berger, that is mainly because__________．A.some people are more emotional than othersB.some people are not aware of the fact that we will never completely know another personC.some people are sensitive enough to sense the change of other people's attitudesD.some people choose to keep to themselves

Passage FourIdeasabout polite behaviour differ from one culture to another.Some societies,such asAmerica and Australia,for example,are mobile and veryopen.People here change jobs and move house quiteoften.As a m result,they have a lot of relationships that often last only mashort time,and they need to get to know people quickly.So it′s normal to havefriendly conversations with people that they have just met,and you can talk aboutthings that other cultures would regard as personal.On the other hand,there are more crowded and less mobile societies where long-termrelationships are more important.A Malaysian or Mexican business person,for example,willwant to get to know you very well before he or she feels happy to startbusiness.But when you do get to know each other,the relationship becomes muchdeeper than it would in a mobile society.To Americans,both Europeans and Asians seem cool and formal atfirst.On the other hand,as a passenger from a less mobile society puts it,it′s no fun spending several hours next to a stranger who wants to tell you allabout his or her life and asks you all sorts of questions that you don′t want to answer.Cross-cultural differences aren′t just a problem for travelers,but also for people in daily life.Some societies have"universalist′′cultures.These societies strongly respect rules,and they treat every personand situation in basically the same way."Particularist"(强调特性的)societies also have rules,but they are less important than thesociety′s unwritten ideas about what is right or wrong for a particularsituation or a particular person.So the normal rules are changed to fit theneeds of the situation or the importance of the person.What is the main idea of this passage?A.Polite behaviour varies with differentcultures.B.Less mobile societies have fewer rules.C.People from mobile societies are morepolite.D.Cultural differences are important.

共用题干Searching for Smiles1 Ask most people anywhere in the world what they want out of life and the reply will probably be:"to be happy."Ed Deiner,an American psychology professor,has spent his whole professional life studying what makes people happy,comparing levels of happiness between cultures and trying to find out exactly why we enjoy ourselves.2 Many people would say that this question does not need an answer.But Professor Deinerhas one anyway."If you're a cheerful,happy person,your marriage is more likely to last,and you're more likely to make money and be successful at your job.On average,happy people have stronger immune（免疫的）systems, and there is some evidence that they live longer."3 So who are the world's happiest people?It depends on how the word is defined.There is individual happiness,the sense of joy we get when we do something we like.But there isalso the feeling of satisfaction we get when we know that others respect us and approve of how we behave.According to Professor Deiner,the Western world pursues individual happiness while Asia prefers mutual satisfaction.4 "In the West, the individualistic（个人主义的）culture means that your mood matters much more than it does in the East.People ask themselves,what can I do that's fun orinteresting?They become unhappy when they can't do any of these things.If you ask people from Japan or China if they are happy,they tend to look at what has gone wrong in their lives.If not much has gone wrong,then they are satisfied."5 People from Spain and other Spanish-speaking countries had the happiest culture,Professor Deiner found."The biggest cultural difference is to do with pride and shame.Hispanic（西班牙语言的）cultures report much more pride and much less shame than others."6 Income also made a big difference to people's happiness,but only at the lowest levels.Average income earners in the US were much happier than people in poverty.But millionaires were only a little bit happier than people on average incomes.It seems that money makes us happy when we have enough to feel secure.7 But can we be too happy? "You get people who are actually happy,but they think happiness is so important that they try to be even happier.This desire to be always happy isa product of individualism,where the emphasis is on you individually,your emotions and feeling good.People can end up feeling unhappy because ordinary happiness is not good enough for them."According to Professor Deiner,some people feel unhappy because they cannot appreciateA:a questionB:ordinary happinessC:individualismD:cultural differencesE:muchF:illnesses
