参考解析

解析:
细节题。根据第四段首句的“we’re saying we want you to work in these places”和第二句最后的“then you’re disposable”;and连接的前后两句实际是转折关系。look the other way本指“有意忽视某些不好的事情”,结合后面的“一旦国家安全被提上日程,移民工人的安危就被置之不理了”进行推测,look the other way in terms of what our laws are指“美国在劳动力紧缺时期对移民工人的非法地位睁一眼闭一眼”。同时,只有如此解释,美国在不同时期对待移民工人的不同态度才能形成鲜明对比。

SUCCESS AND FAILURE It’s clear that success and failure are important and common topics. Every business has its ups and downs, and so does every person. In other words, sometimes we succeed and sometimes we fail. Another common way of saying this is “You win some and you lose some.” Nobody wins all the time, not even in the great success stories that we read or hear about. Think of a successful entrepreneur. Now, do you think that person achieved great success on their first attempt In 99% of cases, the answer is no. Every successful businessperson learned through failure.

共用题干Nonverbal CommunicationAll of us communicate with one another nonverbally,as well as with words.Most of the time we're not aware that we're doing it.We gesture with eyebrows or a hand,meet someone else's eyes and look away,change positions in a chair.(46)__________.However in recent years researchers have discovered that there is a system to them almost as consistent and understandable as language.One important kind of body language is eye behavior.(47)_________.In our normal conversation,each eye contact lasts only about a second before one or both of us look away.When two Americans look,searchingly into each other's eyes,(48)_________.Therefore,we carefully avoid this,except in suitable situations.Researchers(49)________are not prepared to spell out a precise vocabulary of gestures. When an American rubs his nose,it may mean he is disagreeing with someone or refusing something. But there are other possible interpretations,too.Another example:when a student in conversation with a professor holds the older man's eyes a little longer than is usual,(50)_________;it can be a challenge to the professor's authority;it can be something else entirely.The researchers look for patterns in the situation,not for a separate meaningful gesture.Communication between human beings would be just dull if it were all done with words._________(47)A:it can be a sign of respectB:they become more intimateC:We assume these actions are occasionalD:Americans are careful about how and when they meet one another's eyesE:who are engaged in the study of communication through body movementF:they do not mean that

We can make mistakes at any age.Some mistakes we make are about money.But most mistakes?are about people."Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?When I got that great job,did Jim really feel good about it,as a friend?Or did he envy my luck?"When we look back,doubts?like these can make us feel bad.But when we look back,it′s too late.Why do we go wrong about our friends or our enemies?Sometimes what people say hides their?real meaning.And if we don′t really listen closely we miss the feeling behind the words.Suppose?someone tells you,"You′re a lucky dog."That′s being friendly.But"lucky dog"?There′s a bit?of envy in those words.Maybe he doesn′t see it himself.But bringing in the"dog"puts you down a?little.What he may be saying is that he doesn′t think you deserve your luck.Just think of all the things you have to be thankful foris another noise that says one thing and?means another.It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole.But is be?Wrapped up in this phrase is the thought that your problem isn′t important.It′s telling you to think of all the starving people in the world when you haven′t got a date for Saturday night.How can you tell the real meaning behind someone′s words?One way is to take a good look at?the person talking.Do his words fit the way he looks?Does what he says agree with the tone of?voice?His posture?The look in his eyes?Stop and think.The minute you spend thinking about the?real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake.When we listen to a person talking,the most important thing for us to do is to__________.A.notice the way the person is talkingB.take a good look at the person talkingC.mind his tone,his posture and the look in his eyesD.examine the real meaning of what he says based on his manner,his tone and his posture

It's almost impossible to go through life without experiencing some kind of failure.People who do so probably live so cautiously that they go nowhere.Put simply,they’re not real living at all.But,the wonderful thing about failure is that it's entirely up to us to decide how to look at it.We can choose to see failure as"the end of the world,"or as proof of just how inadequate we are.Or,we can look at failure as the incredible learning experience that it often is.Every time we fail at something,we can choose to look for the lesson we're meant to learn.These lessons are very important;they're how we grow,and how we keep from making that same mistake again.Failures stop us only if we let them.Failure can also teach us things about ourselves that we would never have learned otherwise.For instance,failure can help you discover how strong a person you are.Failing at something can help you discover your truest friends,or help you find unexpected motivation to succeed.
