Many of us hold on to little resentment(怨恨) that may come from an argument, a misunderstanding or some other painful events.Stubbornly, we wait for someone else to reach out to us—   1     this is the only way we can forgive or   2     a friendship or family relationship

An acquaintance of mine, whose health isn’t very good, recently told me that she hadn’t spoken to her son in almost three years.“Why not?” I asked.She said that she and her son had a(n)   3     about his wife and that she wouldn’t speak to him again   4    he called first.When I suggested that she be the one to reach out, she   5    at the beginning and said, “I can’t do that.He’s the one who should apologize.” She was truly   6    to die before reaching out to her only son first.After a little gentle   7   , however, she did decide to be the first one to reach out.To her amazement, her son was grateful for her willingness to call and   8    an apology of his own.

As is usually the case, when someone takes the chance and reaches out, everyone wins.Whenever we hold on to our anger, we turn “small stuff” into really “big stuff” in our minds.We start to believe that our   9    are more important than our happiness.However, if you want to be a more peaceful person, you must understand that being right is almost never more important than   10    yourself to be happy.The way to be happy is to let go and reach out.Let other people be right.This doesn’t mean that you’re wrong.Everything will be fine.You’ll experience the peace of letting go, as well as the joy of letting others be right.You’ll also notice that, as you reach out and let others be “right”, they will become less defensive and more loving toward you.

Handshakes are popular in China. However, wait for your Chinese partner to start the gesture. The Chinese will sometimes nod as the starting greeting. A visit to a school, a theater, or other workplaces is likely to be greeted with applause(鼓掌) as a sign of welcome. In turn , you should respond by applauding back.

You should avoid making expansive gestures and using unusual facial expressions. The Chinese don’t often use their hands when speaking, will only become annoyed with a speaker who does this way, so try not talk with your hands. However, some hand gestures are still necessary. For example, to draw attention, you can turn your palm down, waving your fingers towards yourself and use your whole hand rather than your index finger to point.

Don’t touch your Chinese colleague, do not even pat him on the shoulder. The Chinese, especially those who are older and in higher social positions, dislike being touched by strangers.

Acknowledge the most senor person in a group first. Try as well to avoid looking straight into the eyes of your Chinese colleague: this is particularly rude during a meeting and may hurt your Chinese colleague’s feelings.

In China, smiling is not noticeable, either, since there is a heavy emphasis on pressing(压抑) feelings and attitude. Members of the same sex may hold hands in public in order to show friendliness. Public displays of affection between the sexes are hardly acceptable. Don’t put your hands in your mouth, as it is considered impolite. Consequently, when in public, avoid biting your nails, removing food from your teeth, and similar practices.

Pushing and cutting ahead is common in line-ups among the Chinese, but they don’t appreciate being cut in front of themselves. Spitting(吐痰) in public is not acceptable. It will be heavily fined now. Blowing your nose with a handkerchief is also acceptable, but it is advisable to turn away from people while doing so.

1.According to the writer, people in China should keep__________ when communicating with others.

A. open-minded       B. cautious       C. warm-hearted        D. quiet

2. This passage could be read most possibly_______________.

The human brain weighs about 1.4 kilograms, but it can, hold much more information than most computers. However, there is another difference between humans and computers. Computers don't forget information they are given, but humans often do. No one remembers everything, and luckily we don't usually have to. But everyone can improve their memory if they want to. Here are some suggestions.

◆ Try to use new information immediately. For example, if you meet someone who says "Hi! I'm Carlos," don't just say "Hello." Repeat the person's name. Say"____"

◆ Break a big number into smaller parts. For example, it's hard to memorize 109244153. But if you break it into three parts--109/244/153—it becomes easier.

◆Write out what you need to remember over and over again. This will help you keep it in mind longer, especially for memorizing formulas or facts.

◆Always review information. If you bring what you've learned back to your mind, they become easier to remember. For example, before you go to sleep, it’s a good idea to review the new things you learned that clay.

◆ Discuss with a friend. It is always easier to remember things through discussions. You can have a discussion about what's right and what's wrong, and it will lead to the right answer.

◆Never tell yourself that you have a bad memory. You can always do something to help improve your memory. And everyone's memory gets better if they use it often enough.

All of the suggestions are helpful. If you follow them, you are certain to improve your memory.

64. Which should be put in the blank in Paragraph 2?

   A. Hello, Carlos.            B. How do you do?  

   C. Hello, I am Sophia.       D. Glad to meet you!

65. What can help memorize a big number more easily according to the passage?

A. To store it in a computer.            B. To break it into stunner parts.

C. To discuss it with a friend.           D. To review it before you sleep.

66. Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A. Discussing with friends can help you remember things.

B. Always reviewing information can help you fall asleep.

C. Formulas and facts can help you learn about your brain.

D. Human beings can improve their memory by computer.
