  Exchange a glance with someone, and then look away. Do you realize that you have made a statement? Hold the glance for a second longer and you have made a different statement. Hold it for 3 seconds, and the meaning has changed again. For every social situation, there is a permissible time that you can hold a person’s stare without being friendly, rude, or aggressive. If you are on a lift, what stare-time are you permitted? To answer this question, consider what you typically do. You very likely give other passengers a quick glance to size them up and to assure them that you mean no harm. Since being close to another person signals the possibility of interaction, you need to send out a signal telling others you want to be left alone. So you cut off eye contacts. That is what sociologist Erving Goffiman calls “a dimming of the lights”. You look down at the floor, at the indicator lights, anywhere but into another passenger’s eyes. Should you break the rule against staring at a stranger on a lift, you will make the other person extremely uncomfortable, and you are likely to feel a bit strange yourself.

  If you hold eye contacts for more than 3 seconds, what are you telling another person? Much depends on the person and the situation. For instance, a man and a woman communicate interest in this manner. They stare at each other for about 3 seconds at a time, and then drop their eyes down for 3 seconds, before letting their eyes meet again. But if one man gives another man a 3-second-plus stare, he signals, “I know you”, “I am interested in you” or “You look peculiar and I am curious about you.” This type of stare often produces hostile feelings.

  60. It can be inferred from the first paragraph that ______.

  A. every glance has its significance

  B. a glance carries more meaning than words

  C. a stare longer than 3 seconds is unacceptable

  D. staring at a person is an expression of interest

  61. If you want to be left alone on a lift the best thing to do is ______.

  A. to look into another passenger’s eyes

  B. to keep a distance from other passengers

  C. to avoid eye contacts with other passengers

  D. to signal you don’t mean to do harm to anyone

  62. By “a dimming of the lights”, Erving Goffiman means ______.

  A. closing one’s eyes         B. turning off the lights

  C. stopping glancing at others     D. reducing stare-time to the minimum

  63. The passage mainly discusses ______.

  A. the limitations of eye contacts

  B. the exchange of ideas through eye contacts

  C. proper behavior in different situations in people’s daily life

  D. the role of eye contacts in communication between people

  Are some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experiences? Strangely enough, the answer to both these questions is yes. To some extent our intelligence is given us at birth, and no amount of special education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. Thus the limits of a person's intelligence are fixed at birth, but whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.

  It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random(随机地) from the population,it is likely that their degrees of intelligence will be completely different. If on the other hand we take two identical (完全相同的) twins they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.

  Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth playsa part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all, are likely to have similar degrees of intelligence.

 

1.Which of these sentences best describes the writer’s point in Para. 1?

  A. To some extent, intelligence is given at birth.

  B. Intelligence is developed by the environment.

  C. Some people are born clever and others born stupid.

  D. Intelligence is fixed at birth, but is developed by the environment.

 

2. It is suggested in this passage that_______.

  A. unrelated people are not likely to have different intelligence

  B. close relations usually have similar intelligence

  C. the closer the blood relationship between people, the more different they are likely

    to be in intelligence

  D. people who live in close contact with each other are not likely to have similar degrees

    of intelligence

 

3. In Para. 1, the word "surroundings" means_______.

  A. intelligence      B. life

  C. environments      D. housing

4.The best title for this article would be_______.

  A. On Intelligence

  B. What Intelligence Means

  C. We are Born with Intelligence

  D. Environment Plays a Part in Developing Intelligence
