    A greeting is a friendly expression or gesture used when meeting or welcoming someone. Greetings usually happen before a conversation and sometimes accompanied by some greeting behaviors such as a small kiss or a hug and handshake. Though the time to greet someone is short,      

      51    . Just as the Chinese saying goes “A kind word could warm one for three winters, a bad attitude would make one cold even in hot summer.”

    The following are some greetings in different countries.

    1. America: Firm handshakes should last 3-5 seconds.   52    . When greeting multiple people, make eye contact with the person whose hand you are taking, and then go on to the next. They are not used to standing too closely.

    2. United Kingdom: A hand shake is the most common form of greeting for both men and women. When people are already familiar, verbal greetings are used. Personal space is important and people can feel uncomfortable if someone stands too close to them.     53   .

    3. Australia: A handshake is the preferred greeting. When speaking to an Australian, keep an arm’s length distance from the person.    54    , and eye contact should be maintained as well.

    4. Canada: A handshake is traditional. Men usually wait for women to offer theirs. Direct, but not too intense eye contact is acceptable, especially to convey sincerity. The standard distance between two people should be two feet.     55   .

    A. Touching is generally avoided

    B. people still greet each other with a “hello”.

    C. French Canadians, however, may stand slightly closer.

    D. its influence is long and profound.

    E. When people already know each other well, they needn’t greet.

    F. Good eye contact shows interest, sincerity and confidence.

    G. Maintaining personal space is important in this culture

    I’ve always had strong opinions of how love should be expressed, but others had their own ways of showing care.

    What I   36   most about visiting my boyfriend’s parents is the loud tick of the clock in the dining room as we   37   ate our meal. With so little conversation I was quick to   38   his family as cold. When we got into the   39   to go home, his father suddenly appeared   40   , he began to wash his son’s windscreen. I could feel he is a caring man through the glass.

    I learned another lesson about love a few years later. My father often  41   me early in the morning. “Buy Xerox. It’s a good sharp price,” he might say when I answered the phone. No pleasant   42  or inquiry about my life ,just financial instructions. This manner of his   43  me and we often quarreled. But one day, I thought about my father’s success in business and realized that his concern for my financial security lay behind his   44   morning calls. The next time he called and told me to buy a stock, I

      45   him.

    When my social style has conflicted with that of my friends, I’ve often felt   46  . For example, I always return phone calls   47   and regularly contact with my friends. I expect the same from them. I had one friend who rarely called, answering my messages with short e-mails. I rushed to the   48   : She wasn’t a good friend! My anger   49    as the holidays approached. But then she came to a gathering I  50   and handed me a beautiful dress I had fallen in love with when we did some window-shopping the previous month. I was  51   at her thoughtfulness, and regretful for how I’d considered her to be  52  . Clearly I needed to change my expectations of friends.

    Far too often, I ignored their  53   expressions, eagerly expecting them to do things in my  54   .Over the years, however, I’ve learned to   55    other persons’ love signs.

    Heading back to the room for dinner and a hot shower may sound like the act of a tired tourist ,but in a traditional Japanese inn ─ or ryokan ─ those activities can be as interesting as anything along the sightseeing trail.“People going looking for a sort of nostalgic(怀旧的),old-fashioned ,and traditional view of Japanese life will find it most easily in a ryokan,”said Peter Grilli, the president of Japan Society of Boston, Massachusetts.

    Many ryokans sprang up in the 17th century to put up feudal lords traveling along the Tokaido highway to Edo(now Tokyo). Today tourists looking for a taste of the country’s historic lifestyle find varying levels of understated elegance in ryokans throughout the country.

    A typical stay starts with a greeting from the inn’s staff and a change from street shoes into slippers .An attendant leads guests to their rooms, where slippers are removed before walking on the rice-straw flooring, called tatami. Walking slowly along behind a kimonoclad（身穿和服的）attendant on the creaky wood floors of Fukuzumiro ryokan,s hallways is like stepping back in time. The inn was established in 1890 by a former samurai（武士）.

    Tim Paterson ,33, a banker living in Tokyo, has stayed at several ryokans. This New Zealand native leaves after a recent stay at Fukuzumiro. “I think it’s quite good mixing culture with history and not just going to see it ,but living in it, staying in it,”he said. Sliding glass doors line the inn’s rural hallways, bringing in the sound of tricking water and the quietness of the stone and tree-filled courtyards outside.

    From the first paragraph, we can see that_________________ .

    A. there is no dinner and a hot shower in the ryokan

    B. such activities as dinner and shower in the ryokan can take you back in time

    C. such activities as dinner and shower mean the same both in ordinary inns and traditional inns

    D. such activities as dinner and shower are more important than the sightseeing for tourists

    What’s the purpose of building so many ryokans in the 17th century?

    A. Providing rooms for the noble when they traveled.

    B. Keeping the Japanese traditional style of life.

    C. Making people feel elegant in the ryokan.

    D. Attracting more tourists to put up in the ryokan.

    Which of the following shows the right order of tourists entering the ryokan?

      a. An attendant shows guests to their room;

    b. The guests take off their shoes; 

    c. The staff greet the guests; 

    d. The guests walk on tatami; 

    e. The guests take off slippers; 

    f. The guests put on slippers.

    A. b ; c ; d ; e ; f ; a             B. c ; b ; f ; a ; e ; d  

    C. c ; a ; d ; b ; e ; f             D b ; a ; d ; e ; c ; f

    From Tim Paterson’s words in the last paragraph ,we can infer that      .

    A. he will never stay in such a ryokan again

    B. he stays in such a ryokan just for its long history

    C. he feels relaxed and culturally enriched after staying in such a ryokan

    D. he would rather live in such a ryokan than go back home

    Facebook means never having to say goodbye. The social media website has earned a reputation for reconnecting old friends. Last week, a guy whom I hadn’t seen since my bachelor party five years ago sent me a friend request. I accepted and waited for “Easy E” to send me a greeting of some kind. He had sought me out, after all.
    I learned from his profile that he was in a relationship and had a son. However, I’m pretty sure we won’t ever write wall-to-wall, let alone e-mail each other. But he’ll remain a friend of online until one of us makes a point of removing the other from his official list.
    My pool of friends consists of family members, college buddies, co-workers from past and present, and friends of friends. There are 35 in all. If I spent some time uploading old e-mail addresses, I’m confident that I could increase my friend count actually.
    A person could make a mission out of reconnecting with childhood friends, former classmates, distant cousins, and those one would like to get to know better. And some people can even handle hundreds of on-screen relationships, keeping up with the daily happenings of their small army of companions. After all, there are worse fates than having too many friends.
    Thanks to e-mail, the inability to schedule face-to-face meetings no longer means a friendship must come to a close. But even with e-mail, people will lose touch if one or both parties stop writing back. That’s normal. People move from school to school, job to job, city to city. You never have to feel guilty for breaking away.
    Every day, the masterminds of Web 2.0 find new ways of making human communication easier. However, convenience can be a walking stick. Some things shouldn’t be simplified. When it comes to friendship, there can be no shortcuts.
    【小题1】According to Paragraph 1, the website is famous because       .

    A．it has an interesting name of “Facebook”
    B．it can send people a greeting of some kind
    C．it helps people get in touch with old friends
    D．it reminds people of events in the past
    【小题2】From the second paragraph we can learn that the writer       .
    A．would write to the friend quite often
    B．did get some information about the friend
    C．asked the friend to e-mail him
    D．would keep in touch with the friend forever
    【小题3】Which of the following statements is NOT true?
    A．The author communicates with all the 35 friends by e-mails.
    B．There are 35 people in the author’s list of friends right now.
    C．The list of 35 friends doesn’t include the old e-mail addresses.
    D．It is not difficult for the author to increase his friend count.
    【小题4】What does the writer mean by saying “However, convenience can be a walking stick”？
    A．The masterminds of Web 2.0 also sell walking sticks online.
    B．Taking a walking stick is a new way of making friends online.
    C．Convenience is dangerous for human communication.
    D．Convenience is not really good for human communication.
