三、3.Reading Comprehension

Part III  Reading Comprehension
Directions: In this part there are four passages. Each passage is followed by a number of comprehension questions. Read the passages and choose the best answer to each question. Then, mark your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.

1.Americans and Arabs are different in their space habits. Arabs prefer close contact. Dr. Hall has explained that the Arabs belong to a touch culture and in conversation, they always envelop the other person. They hold his hand, look into his eyes, and bathe him in their breath.
   Dr. Hall’s interest in man’s use of space developed in the early nineteen fifties when he was Director of the Point Four training program at the Foreign Service Institute. In talking with Americans who had lived overseas, he found that many of them had been highly uncomfortable because of culture differences. Such discomfort is usually referred to as culture shock.
   The problem is that, relatively speaking, Americans live in a noncontact culture. Partly, this is a product of our puritan heritage ( 清教徒文化遺產(chǎn)). Dr. Hall points out that we spend years teaching our children not to crowd in and lean on us. And in situations where we ourselves are forced to stand close to another person on crowded subways, for example, we turn our eyes away, and if actual body contact is involved, tense the muscles on the contact side. Most of us feel very strongly that this is the only proper way to behave.

When the Arabs talk to you, they ______.

A．try to be as close to you as possible
B．keep a certain space from you
C．hold you tightly
D．do not allow you to feel their breath

2.
From the information in paragraph 3, it is obvious that ______.

A．the American way is the only right way to behave.
B．the puritan heritage stresses noncontact culture
C．American children are more polite than those in other countries
D．American people usually cannot make themselves understood

3.
When you line up to wait for your turn in the United States, you should ______ your front neighbor.

A．stick to
B．lean on
C．keep a certain distance from
D．stay far away from

4.
Which of the following statements is NOT mentioned in the passage?

A．People from different cultures handle space in different ways.
B．Many of the Americans who had lived overseas were bothered by culture differences.
C．Misunderstandings often develop between Americans and Arabs in social contacts.
D．Dr. Hall is interested in culture differences, especially man"s use of space.

5.
 It is true that ______.

A．a(chǎn) noncontact culture is usually referred to as culture shock
B．there is evidence that Americans belong to a touch culture
C．there is evidence that Arabs share a noncontact culture
D．our use of space is influenced by our cultures

7.It seems that beauty and women are twins. You are joking? No, I am not. Observe for yoruself. Ads on fashion flood TV screens, radio programs, magazines, newspapers, and the streets. Whether they have realized or not, women are besieged (包圍) by a sea of fashion. They are taught to think that without beautiful clothes they will grow old and lose their charm. So who dares to neglect dressing up at the cost of their appearance and youth?
   But I do not agree with the opinion that women have to show their beauty through their looks. The richness of their mind proves to be more beautiful and attractive than their looks. A woman who has experienced many troubles and may be called "aunt" or "granny" can still maintain her beauty if she has such excellent qualities as knowledge, ability, a kind heart, great courage and concern for others.
   In addition, old and young, beautiful and ugly are relative concepts. People who keep a young mind will never feel old. Curious about new things and eager to learn more, they keep up with the tide. Plainly dressed women may have a type of beauty, which is pure and real.
   Reading and learning is the best way to keep one youthful. Good books are fertile soil which can feed the flower of one’s heart and looks.

Why does the author say that beauty and women are twins?

A．Women are born to be beauties.
B．Women like to show off their beauty.

A．As a woman grows old, her beauty will gradually, disappear.
B．However old she is, a woman with some excellent qualities can still maintain her beauty.
C．Even a plainly dressed woman may have pure and real beauty.
D．A woman with a young mind never feels ol

Michael Jordan has become the most famous attraction of the world’s favorite spectator sport.

19.Exercise, everyone advises! But immediately, when you try, you run into trouble. There is so much contradictory, sometimes incorrect advice about exercising that you become confused. Test yourself on the following true false quiz. It will tell you what you need to know.
   1. To lose weight you should always "work up a good sweat" when exercising.
   False. Sweating only lowers body temperature to prevent overheating; it does not help you reduce weight. You may weigh less immediately after a workout, but this is due to water loss. Once you replace the liquid, you replace the weight.
   2. You burn more calories jogging one mile than walking the same distance.
   False. You use the same amount of energy whether you walk or jog the mile, since in both cases you are moving the same weight the same distance. The speed doesn"t matter. Of course, if you jog rather than walk for 30 minutes, you"ll cover more distance, and therefore burn more calories.
   3. If your breathing doesn’t return to normal within minutes after you finish exercising, you" ve exercised too much.
   True. Five minutes or so after exercising, your breathing should be normal, your heart shouldn"t be pounding, and you shouldn’t be exhausted. Beneficial exercise is not too difficult, unpleasant, and exhausting; it is enjoyable and refreshing.
   4. Walking is one of the best exercises.
