And they expect all problems to be solved happily in ten, fifteen, or thirty minutes. Thats the time it takes on the screen./UIn the past, many young people_. Aknew the effects of warBwent in for politicsCliked to save the wounded in warsDwere willing to be soldiers 5.BPassage 3/BBQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:/B In the United States elementary education begins at the age of six. At this stage nearly all the teachers are women, mostly married. (80) UThe atmosphere is usually very friendly, and the teachers have now accepted the idea that the important thing is to make the chil-dren happy and interested./U The old authoritarian (要绝对服从的) methods of education were discredited (不被认可) rather a long time ago-so much so that many people now think that they have gone too far in the direction of trying to make children happy and interestedrather than giving them actual instruction. The social education of young children tries to make them accept the idea that human beings in a society need to work together for their common good. So the emphasis is on co- operation rather than competition throughout most of this process. This may seem curious, in view of the fact that American society is highly competitive; however, the need for mak-ing people sociable in this sense has come to be regarded as one of the functions of educa-tion. Most Americans do grow up with competitive ideas, and obviously quite a few as criminals, but it is not fair to say that the educational system fails. It probably does succeed in making most people sociable and ready to help one another both in material ways and through kindness and friendliness.According to the passage, the American elementary education is supposed to make children_. Asensible and sensitiveBcompetitive and interestedCcurious and friendlyDhappy and co-operative 6.BPassage 2/BBQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:/B Nonverbal (非语言的) communication has to do with gestures, movements and close-ness of two people when they are talking. (78) UThe scientists say that those gestures, movements and so on have meaning which words do not carry./U For example, the body distance between two speakers can be important. North Ameri-cans often complain that South Americans are unfriendly because they tend to stand close to the North American when speaking, while the South American often consider the North American to be "cold" or "distant" because he keeps a greater distance between himself and the person he is speaking to. The "eye contact" provides another example of what we are calling nonverbal communication. Scientists have observed that there is more eye contact between people who like each other than there is between people who dont like each other. (79) UThe length of time that the person whom you are speaking to looks at your eyes indi-cates the amount of interest he has in the things you are talking about./U On the other hand, too long a gaze can make people uncomfortable. The eyes apparent-ly play a great part in nonverbal communication. Genuine warmth or interest, shyness or confidence can often be seen in the eyes. We do not always consider a smile to bea sign of friendliness. Someone, who is always smiling, and with little apparent reasons, often makes us uneasy.According to the passage, nonverbal communication_. Ais a method often used by people who cannot speakBcan tell something that words cannotCcan be used to talk with people who cannot bearDis less used than words 7.BPassage 1/BBQuestions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:/B Television has opened windows in everybodys life.
