You wont, however, get anywhere with poor social skills.One reason is that social skills can only be developed in a social atmosphere. So unless you plan to live on a desert island for the rest of your life, you need to learn how to get along with other people. Otherwise social awkwardness(难堪)，difficulty in meeting people and being unable to communicate your ideas will hurt no matter who you are.。On the other hand., having great social skills can be helpful in almost any situation. If you can easily make friends, share your thoughts and understand other persons feelings, these abilities can make you better at almost anything you do.Genes(基因) certainly play a role in determining how outgoing and attractive you can be. But social skills, like reading and writing, can be trained. You arent born able to read, why do you expect any other skill to develop automatically(自动地)？Several years ago, if you had told me social skills were in your genes, I would have believed you. I had few close friends and had difficulty sharing my ideas. I spent most of my time, lonely. Finally, I was tired of the way things were and made efforts to change them. I joined Toastmasters to work on Public Speaking. I started writing every day and I put myself in new places to meet new people. No improvement took place immediately, but after a few years of work, my old life is hardly recognizable. Today I have dozens of close friends I can depend on and hundreds of friends in every area of my life.41. The underlined sentence in the fourth paragraph implies that_.A. there is a great difference between social skills and reading abilityB. if you cant read, you can develop social skills eitherC. both social skills and reading ability can be developed automaticallyD. both social skills and reading ability have to be improved through efforts42.The best title for this passage is_.A. The Importance of Strong Social SkillsB. What Good Social Skills areC. What Determines Social SkillsD. How to Improve social skills43. In the last paragraph the author mainly talks about_.A. his attitudes towards social skills B. his experience in improving his social skillsC. how to make friends D. the benefits of good social skillsBIn England three foreign gentlemen came to a bus stop. They studied the information on the post sign and decided which bus to take. About five minutes later the bus they wanted came along. They prepared to get on. Suddenly people rushed onto the bus and tried to push them out of the way. Someone shouted insulting remarks about the foreigners. The bus conductor came rushing down the stairs to see what all the trouble was about. The three foreign gentlemen looked puzzled and ashamed. No one had told them about the British custom of lining up for a bus so that the first person who arrived at a bus-stop is the first person to get on the bus.Learning the language of a country isnt enough. If you want to ensure a pleasant visit, find out as much as possible about the manners and customs of your hosts. You will probably be surprised just how different they can be from your own. A visitor to India would do well to remember that people there consider it impolite to use the left hand for passing food at table. The left hand is supposed to be used for washing yourself. Also in India, You might see a man apparently shaking his head at another and assume (认为) that he is disagreeing. But in many parts of India a rotating (旋转) movement of the head is a gesture that express agreement or acceptance. Nodding your head when offered a drink in Bulgaria is likely to leave you thirsty. In that country you shake your head to express “yes a nod means “no.In Europe it is quite usual to cross your legs when sitting talking to someone, even at an important meeting. Doing this when meeting an important person in Thailand, however, could cause offence (冒犯). It is considered too informal an attitude for such an occasion. Also when in Thailand avoid touching the head of an adult its just not done.Attitudes to women vary considerably around the world. In Japan, for example, it is quite usual for men to plan evening entertainments for themselves and leave their wives at home.Knowing about customs and attitudes is useful when you are travelling, but you also need to know the language used to express different degrees of formality (礼节).44. The three foreign gentlemen looked puzzled and ashamed because _.A. they didnt know the English languageB. someone called their namesC. they didnt know the custom of lining up for a busD. they knocked someone down while getting on the bus45. According to the passage, which attitude to women is usual in Japan?A. Men always go to parties with women.B. Men plan evening entertainments for their wives.C. Men and women have equal rights to go to parties.D. Men plan evening entertainments for themselves, while their wives stay home.46. Whats the meaning of the underlined word “insulting in Para. 1 ?A. 47. The underlined sentence “Nodding your head when offered a drink in Bulgaria is likely to leave you thirsty. means _.A. Its probably that you are thirsty if you nod your headB. Youre possibly eager to have a drink if you nod your headC. You probably refuse to drink when you nod your headD. Youd like to have a cup of tea because you nod your headCIn spite of television and other means to pass information, newspaper is still an important source. No country in the world has more daily newspapers than the USA. There are over 2,000 of them. The quality of some American papers is very high and their views are quoted all over the world. Well-known dailies like Washington Post or New York Times have a powerful influence all over the country. Many people begin their day by reading the paper. In this way they learn what is going on in the world. Sometimes, however, they dont have time to read the news carefully and must be satisfied with a quick look at the front page, at other times, they may be in such a hurry that they have time only for a glance at the headlines.American newspapers try to entertain as well as give information. There are newspapers to satisfy all sorts of readers. Some newspapers are sensational耸人听闻的, which feature crime, sex and gossip(传播流言蜚语); some are serious, which focus on factua news and the analysis of world events. In big cities there are many types of papers, with several different editions every day. In the small towns there are fewer newspapers and perhaps only one edition each day. In some areas the paper is even printed weekly.Most newspapers have several sections, especially on Sundays when the section is larger than usual. There are, in addition to the front page with the most important news, the sports sections and business page. Many of these newspapers print columns by well-known journalists of differing political and social views, in order to present a balanced picture.Another type of publications which helps keep the population informed is magazines. Some magazines are published weekly, others are put on monthly. There are news magazines, and magazines for special interests as sports, photography and music. Some are for men, others are for women or for children. In the United States, you can find the right thing for every taste and interest. 48. From the passage we can see that in the United States _.A.

Sometimes it is a hot topic discussed by people.The greatest thing that gene technology can do is to cure serious diseases that doctors at present can almost do nothing with, such as cancer and heart disea
