44、 Great changes have been made infamily life because of science and industry.
In the past, when more Americans lived onfarms, the typical family had many children. In a farm family, parents andtheir children often lived with grandparents. Often, too, uncles and auntslived nearby. But when industry became more important than agriculture inAmerican life, families became smaller because industry requires workers whoare ready and able to move off the land and to move again whenever necessary.And large families can not be moved from place to place as smaller familiescan. So, at present people tend to have smaller families.
In the future, because ofindustrialization, a typical family will be required to move even more oftenthan now, so families will be even smaller. The typical family may remainchildless and consists only of a man and a woman. A small number of familiesmay take child raising as their chief work.

59、 A foreigner's firstimpression of the U.S. is likely to be that everyone is in a rush - often underpressure. City people appear always to be hurrying to get where they are goingrestlessly, seeking attention in a store, and elbowing others as they try to completetheir errands (任务). Racing through daytime meals is part of the pace oflife in this country.
Working time is considered precious.Others in public eating places are waiting for you to finish so that they toocan be served and get back to work within the time allowed. Each person hurriesto make room for the next person. If you don't, waiters will hurry you.
You also find drivers will be abrupt andthat people will push past you. You will miss smiles, brief conversations, andsmall courtesies with strangers. Don't take it personally. This is becausepeople value time highly, and they resent someone else "wasting"itbeyond a certain courtesy point.
The view of time affects the importancewe attach to patience. In the American system of values, patience is not ahigh priority. Many of us have what might be called "a shortfuse." We begin to move restlessly about if we feel time is slipping awaywithout some return - be this in terms of pleasure, work value, or rest. Thosecoming from lands where time is looked upon differently may find this matter ofpace to be one of their most difficult adjustments in both business and dailylife.
Many newcomers to the States will miss theopening courtesy of a business call, for example, they will miss the ritualsocializing that goes with a welcoming cup of tea or coffee that may betraditional in their own country. They may miss leisurely business chats in acafé or coffeehouse. Normally, Americans do not assess their visitors in suchrelaxed surroundings over prolonged small talks. We seek out evidence of pastperformance rather than evaluate a business colleague through socialcourtesies. Since we generally assess and probe professionally rather thansocially, we start talking business very quickly.
(1)、Which of the following statements is wrong? ___________
A：Americansseem to be always under pressure.

61、It has been reported that in colleges across the UnitedStates, the daytime serial drama known as the soap opera has suddenly become"in". Between the hours of 11 a.m. and 4:30 pm, college televisionlounges are filled with soap opera fans who can't wait to see the next episodein the lives of their favorite characters.

66、How men firstlearnt to invent words is unknown; in other words, the origin of language is amystery. All we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow inventedcertain sounds to express thought and feelings, actions and things, so thatthey could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certainsigns, called letters, which could be combined to present those sounds, andwhich could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken or written inletters, we call words.
The power of words, then, lies in theirassociations - the things they bring up before our minds. Words become filledwith meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certainwords recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we readand learn, the more the number of words that mean something increases.
Great writers are those who not only havegreat thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfullyto our minds and emotions. This charming and telling use of words is what wecall literary style. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He canconvey his meaning in words which sing like music and which by their positionand association can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose ourwords carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech silly andvulgar.

67、 Shyness is the cause of muchunhappiness for a great many people. Shy people are anxious and self-conscious;that is, they are excessively concerned with their own appearance and actions.Worrisome thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: what kind ofimpression am I making? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearingunattractive clothes?
It is obvious that such uncomfortablefeelings must negatively affect people. A person's conception of himself orherself is reflected in the way he or she behaves, and the way a person behavesaffects other people's reactions. In general, the way people think aboutthemselves has a profound effect on all areas of their lives.
Shy people, having low self-esteem, arelikely to be passive and easily influenced by others. They need reassurancethat they are doing "the right thing." Shy people are very sensitiveto criticism; they feel it confirms their feelings of inferiority. They alsofind it difficult to be pleased by compliment with a statement like this one,"You're just saying that to make me feel good. I know it's not true."It is clear that while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it isharmful.
Can shyness be completely eliminated, orat least reduced? Fortunately, people can overcome shyness with determined andpatient efforts in building self-confidence. Since shyness goes hand in handwith a lack of self-esteem, it is important for people to accept theirweaknesses as well as their strengths.
Each one of us is a unique, worthwhileindividual, interested in our own personal ways. The better we understandourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our full potential. Let's notallow shyness to block our chances for a rich and fulfilling life.

71、 Can trees talk? Yes, but not in words.Scientists have reason to believe that trees do communicate with each other.Not long ago, researchers learned some surprising things. First a willow treeattacked in the woods by caterpillars (毛虫)changed the chemistry of its leaves and made them taste so terrible that theygot tired of the leaves and stopped eating them. Then even more astonishing,the tree sent out a special smell--a signal causing its neighbors to change thechemistry of their own leaves and make them less tasty.
Communication, of course, doesn't need to be in words. We can talk toeach other by smiling, raising our shoulders and moving our hands.
