Which do you keep to yourself? Sometimes its a good thing to say what you feel. At other times its better to keep quiet about your feelings. Sometimes its hard to know exactly what you feel. At other times feelings are so strong that you can not control them. People from different cultures have different ways of dealing with feelings. It is said that English people are cold. If they do feel anything, they will not let other people know. This is because they grow up in a culture which tells them that its good to control their feelings. They learn when they are young that it is best to keep tears and laughter to themselves. Compared with the English, the French are much warmer and more open. They are always ready to express what they feel. However, it is said the Italians are the warmest people in the world. They let their feelings “explode”.What happens to feelings that are not expressed? Many people say they dont just disappear. They continue to exist under the surface and may come out in other forms. Anger that we dont express to others can become anger that we turn against ourselves. Fears that we dont talk about may make us become afraid of all things. We may appear to be brave, but we are fearful and anxious inside. Hurts and disappointments that we never express may make us become too careful about getting close to others. As long as we dont make others unhappy, there is noting wrong in expressing our feelings. We can express our feelings directly or indirectly. We can talk to other people about our feelings. Of course, sometimes we should also control our feelings. After all, life is made of all kinds of feelings, isnt it?1. _ to say what you feel.A. Its always good B. Sometimes it is good C. Its no good D. You always want 2. People _ have different ways of dealing with feelings. A. from different cultures B. from different countries C. from different schools D. of different occupations 3. According to the passage, _ are the warmest people in the world. A. the Italians B. the English C. the French D. the Chinese 4. The feelings that people dont express _. A. just disappear B. should never be expressed C. continue to exist under the surface D. are always bad 5. People can express their feelings directly or indirectly _. A. as long as they dont make others unhappy B. as long as they dont make others happy C. as soon as they dont make others unhappyD. as soon as they dont make others happy(2)I have often thought it would be a blessing if each human being were stricken blind and deaf for a few days at some time during his early adult life. Darkness would make him more appreciative of sight, silence would teach him the joys of sound. Now and then I have tested my seeing friends to discover what they see. Recently I was visited by a very good friend who had just returned from a long walk in the woods, and I asked her what she had observed. “Nothing is particular,” she replied. I might have been incredulous had I not been accustomed to such responses, for long ago I became convinced that the seeing see little.How was it possible, I asked myself, to walk for an hour through the woods and see nothing worthy of note? I who cannot see find hundreds of things to interest me through mere touch. I feel the delicate symmetry of a leaf. I pass my hands lovingly about the smooth skin of a silver birch, of the rough bark of a pine. In spring I touch the branches of trees hopefully in search of a bud, the first sign of awakening nature after her winters sleep. Occasionally, if I am very fortunate, I place my hand gently on a small tree and feel the happy quiver of a bird in full song. I am delighted to have the cool waters of a brook rush through my open fingers. To me the pageant of seasons is a thrilling and unending drama, the action of which streams through my finger tips.At times my heart cries out with longing to see all these things. If I can get so much pleasure from mere touch, how much more beauty must be revealed by sight. Yet, those who have eyes apparently see little. The panorama of color and action which fills the world is taken for granted. It is human perhaps, to appreciate little that which we have and to long for that which we have not, but it is a great pity that in the world of light the gift of sight is used only as mere convenience rather than as a means of adding fullness to life.If I were president of a university, I should establish a compulsory course in “How to Use Your Eyes”. The professor would try to show his pupils how they could add joy to their lives by really seeing what passes unnoticed before them. He would try to awake their dormant and sluggish faculties.6. According to the text, it would be a blessing if_A_. A. every human being were stricken blind and deaf for a few days at some time during his early adult life B. every human being is stricken blind and deaf for a few days at some time during his early adult lifeC. every human being is stricken blind and deafD. every human being were stricken blind and deaf7. Which of the following is the authors opinion about the seeing people?A. Most of the seeing people see little.B. The seeing people cherished their gift of sight very much.C. The seeing people use their power of sight to the full.D. The seeing people use their gift of sight as a means of adding color to life.8. The author could not see by sight, but she _.A. could find hundreds of things to interest her through mere touchB. knew more than the seeing C. was very optimistic and could “see” more than the seeingD. both A and C 9. According to the text, why would it be a blessing if each human being were stricken blind and deaf for a few days at some time during his early adult life?A. Because darkness would make him more appreciative of sight, and silence would teach him the joys of sound.B. Because people seldom cherish what they have and if they lose what they have for a short time they would cherish what they have much more.C. Because people are always longing for what they dont have.D. both A and B10. We can infer from the text that _.A. though the author was blind, she loved life and she knew well how to add fullness to lifeB. the author was a president of a universityC. the author established a compulsory course in “How to Use Your Eyes”D. the author appreciated little what she had and longed for what she had not.(3)We use both words and body language to express our thoughts and opinions and to communicate with other people. We can learn a lot about what a person is thinking by watching his or her body language. Words are important, but the way a person stands, folds his or her arms, or moves his or her hands can also give us information about his or her feelings.Just like spoken language, body language varies from culture to culture. Making eye contact looking directly into someones eyes is in some counties a way to show interest. In other countries, however, eye contact is rude or disrespectful. The gesture of OK, making a circle with ones thumb and index finger, has different meanings in different cultures. In Japan, someone who sees another person making the gesture will think it means money. In France, a person seeing the same gesture will think it means zero. In Brazil and Germany, however, the gesture is rude. The thumbs-up gesture, meaning “great” or “good job” in the US, is rude in Nigeria, but in Germany and Japan it means the number one. The “crazy” gesture, moving the index finger in a circle in front of the ear, means “you have a phone call” in Brazil.While there are many different interpretations of our body language, some gestures seem to be universal. A good way of saying “I am full” is moving the hand in circles over the stomach after a meal. If a person pats his or her stomach before a meal, it usually means “I am hungry”.Perhaps the best example of universally understood body language is the smile. A smile can help us get through difficult situations and find friends in a world of strangers. A smile can open doors and tear down walls. It can be used to express almost any emotion. We can use a smile to apologize, to greet someone, to ask for help or to start a conversation. We can smile at ourselves in the mirror to make ourselves feel happier and stronger. And if we are feeling down or lonely, there is nothing better than to see the smiling face of a good friend.11.
