With a 38 list in one hand and car keys in the other, I asked what they wanted for Chris

19、tmas. I 39 myself for their response. They looked up as if praying to God for enlightenment on what to say.

21、 We are happy,” she said moving to Juliana, “just to 47 you.”I felt my heart 48 a beat as time stood still. Their words reverberated(回响) in my head 49 my eyes welled with tears ofjoy.

A handshake or a pat on the shoulder is e

27、nough to convey our friendship or affection to one another. So when our newly-acquainted Western friends reach out in preparation for a hug, some of us feel awkward. Many questions go through our head. Where should I put my arms? Under their armpits or around their neck? What distance should I maint

28、ain? Should our chests touch?Its even more difficult with friends from some European countries. Should I kiss them on the cheek while hugging? Which side? Or is it both cheeks? Which side should I start on?But it isnt just people from cultures that are conservative in expressing physical contact who

29、 find hugging confusingHugs can cause discomfort or even distress in people who value their personal spaceIn a recent article for The Wall Street Journal, US psychologist Peggy Drexler said that although the US remains a “medium touch” culture , Americans do seem to be hugging more.From politicians

30、to celebrities, hugs are given to friends, strangers and enemies alike;whether they are willing or not; and the public has been quick to pick up the practice.Public figures know that nothing expresses likeability(亲和力)like a good hug. US First Lady Michelle Obama has put her arms around icy foreign l

31、eaders like Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev and the Queen of England on the latter occasion actually breaking the rule of royal manners. But not all are grateful to be embraced, even by the most influential and famous. To them, any hug is offensive if its not sincere.Amanda Hess, writing for

32、US magazine Slate, says public figures should stop imposing hugs on everyone they meet. For them, a hug is rarely a gesture of sincere fellowship, compassion or affection. Its all part of a show. Hugs are falsely intimate power plays used by public figures to establish their social dominance over th

33、ose in their grasp.Cecilia Walden, a British journalist writing for The Telegraph who lives in New York, holds the same opinion. “Power-hugging”, as she calls it, is “an offender dressed up as kindness”. It has become a fashion in the US where “bosses are already embracing their staff (either shortl

34、y before or after firing them), men and women ,their friends or enemies, in a thousand cheating displays of unity”.56. From the first third paragraphs, we can see that _.A. we Chinese people dont know how to hugB hugs can bring pressure to people when used improperlyC. people from European countries

35、 often get puzzled about huggingD. people in Western countries seldom use hugs to express their physical closeness57. The example of US first lady Michelle Obama is given to show that _.A. hugs are forbidden in England B. she is much liked by American people C. Americans hold a “medium touch ”cultur

What can be the best title of this passage?A. Hugs,

37、tricky affair? B. Hugs, vital or not? C. Hugs and public figures D. Hugs and power BDoctors sometimes use light therapy to treat a form of depression in people who get too little morning sun. But too much light at other times may actually cause such mood disorder. Long-lasting exposure to light at n

38、ight brings depression, a new study finds, at least in animals. The new data confirm observations from studies of people who work night shifts, says Richard Stevens of the University of Connecticut Health Center. Mood disorders join a growing list of problems, including cancer, obesity and diabetes

39、that can occur when light throws life out of balance by disturbing the biological clock and its timing of daily rhythms.In the new study, Tracy Bedrosian and Randy Nelson of Ohio State University exposed mice to normal light and dark cycles for four weeks. For the next four weeks, half of the mice r

40、emained on this schedule, and the rest received continuous dim light throughout their night. Compared with mice exposed to normal night-time darkness, those getting dim light at night lost their strong preference for sweet drinks. “A sign that they no longer get pleasure out of activities they once

41、enjoyed,” Bedrosian says.In a second test, mice were clocked on how long they actively tried to escape a pool of water. Those exposed to night lights stopped struggling and just floated in the water, a sign of “behavioral despair”, 10 times as long as the mice that had experienced normal night-time

42、darkness. All symptoms of depression disappeared within two weeks of the mice returning to a normal light-dark cycle, the researchers report. The scientists could also quash the behavioral symptoms by injecting the brains of animals with a drug that prohibits the activity of certain molecules linked

43、 with human depression. This finding further suggests that light at night may cause something related to depression.Human studies linking night-time light and mood disorders are important but can not easily detect molecular underpinnings(分子基础) as animal studies can, says George Brainard of Thomas Je

44、fferson University. The new work, he says, suggests that the change of the biological clock by light at night can be “an extremely powerful force in regulating biology and behavior”.60. After being exposed to continuous night-time light, the mice _.A. changed their preferences B. showed less interest in their favoritesC. remained active as before D. escaped from the water more eagerly61. What does the underlined word “quash” in paragraph 4 probably mean?A. ease B. predict C. study D. cause62. We can learn from the last paragraph that _.A. the biologic
