Book3 Unit 1-11. An Introduction to PersonalityIn a general sense, the term “personality”refers to all the personal and moral characteristics that determine the way a person thinks, feels and acts in his or her social and personal relations.These traits include a vast variety of attitudes and attributes, such as: shyness, generosity, patience, flexibility, sadness, humor, cheerfulness, selfishness, independence and aggressiveness.Most people are a mix of positive and negative traits. Personality traits that are valued in one culture may be frowned upon in another culture.Most research tends to suggest that our basic personality is inherited but that many factors shape and mould our personality as we grow mature.Recognizing one’s strengths and weaknesses is an important step in the process of personal development.In recent years, various studies have shown that health and personality are interrelated. In constantly looking at the dark side of things, pessimists can become discouraged to feel helpless; optimists, on the other hand, attempt to make the best of a situation.2.

1. It is time for each of us to open our eyes and see the world as it really is —one complete whole where every cause has an effect. 现在我们每个人都应睁开双眼，看清这个世界的真实面貌—它是一个因果相循的完整集合体。
☺1) as it really is 是由as 引导的定语从句，修饰the world。
2) one complete whole where every cause has an effect是名词性从句，对the world进行补充说明；where every cause has an effect 为定语从句，修饰whole。
2. Most of us are blind to this interconnection of everything. 我们中的大多数人都没有注意到世间万物的相互关联。
☺Many people don’t realize that everything is interconnected.be blind to sth. 对……视而不见3. Trees bring water up from the ground, allowing water to evaporate into the atmosphere. 树把水从地下带到地面，随后这些蒸发的水又再化为雨水返回地面。
☺allowing water to evaporate into the atmosphere 为现在分词短语做状语表示结果，其逻辑主语是前面的主语trees；如果前面的主语是后面分词的逻辑宾语，则后面的分词要用过去分词。
4. The loss of trees upsets the ecosystem as trees are necessary to build topsoil, maintain rainfall in dry climates, purify underground water and to convert carbon dioxide to oxygen. 树木的大量砍伐破坏了生态环境，因为树干对于维持表层土壤，在干旱气候时保持水分，净化地下水，并将二氧化碳转化为氧气都起到了必不可少的作用。

新视野大学英语3(第二版)第一单元unit1翻译
Unit 1Passage A我的兄弟吉米（Jimmy）在分娩困难期间得不到足够的氧气，使他的大脑受损，两年后我出生了。
从那以后，我的生活围绕着我兄弟的生活。
伴随着我的成长，总是“出去玩，把你的兄弟带上你”。
没有他，我无处可去，所以我敦促附近的孩子们到我家来一些以孩子为中心的失控乐趣。
我妈妈教吉米一些实用的东西，例如如何刷牙或系上安全带。
我父亲是位圣徒，他的耐心和谅解使这所房子简直就是一团。
我负责管理司法工作，负责追查picked养兄弟的孩子的父母，并告诉他们。
我父亲和吉米密不可分。
他们一起吃早餐，工作日每天早上都去海军运输中心，他们俩都在那工作-吉米卸下了带有颜色编码的盒子。
晚餐后的晚上，他们会在深夜聊天并玩游戏。
他们甚至吹口哨。
因此，当我父亲在1991年因心脏病去世时，吉米在他的精心掩饰下沉沉了。
他简直是难以置信。
通常他非常乐于接受，现在他完全不说话了，也没有多少字可以穿透他脸上空洞的表情。
我雇用了一个人与他同住并驱使他工作，但不管我有多努力使事情保持不变，即使吉米也意识到他所认识的世界已经消失了。
有一天我问：“你想念爸爸，不是吗？”他的嘴唇颤抖着，然后问：“玛格丽特，你怎么想？他是我最好的朋友。
”我们的眼泪开始流淌。
六个月后，我母亲因肺癌去世，我一个人去照顾吉米。
他没有马上离开父亲就适应上班，所以他来纽约和我住了一段时间。
他走到我走过的地方，似乎都适应得很好。
尽管如此，吉米仍然渴望住在我父母的房子里，并从事他的旧工作，我保证会帮助他返回家园。
最终，我得以解决。
他已经与许多不同的看护人一起生活了11年，并独自成长。
他已成为邻里必不可少的东西。
当您要拿起任何邮件或您的狗需要走路时，他就是您的男人。
我母亲当然是对的：有可能为他的局限和我的抱负腾出空间。
实际上，照顾一个像吉米一样深切爱着并欣赏我的努力的人，使我的生活比以往任何时候都更加丰富。
9月11日吉米（Jimmy）诞辰57周年之际，这场灾难在几天后传到家中。

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice.Passage OneQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.Terrorism may be viewed as the use of force or violence against persons or property to threaten or coerce (迫使) a government, a formal organization, or a civilian population for political, religious, or social objectives. Since terrorists monly use violence against civilian targets, their actions are widely condemned as morally unacceptable. In practice, aswith a great many other behaviors, what constitutes terrorism is a matter of social definition. When nations resort to violence to further their interests, the results are considered as being legal warfare. In many respects, terrorism is an extension of that approach by people who lack the armies of a state.For many years the public, government officials, and scholars treated terrorism primarily as a “nuisance.” But recently, we have e to see terrorism as a new mode of warfare with far-reaching implications. Terrorism serves as an avenue ofpolitical expression for some militants (好战分子), whether they are motivated by ideology, ethnicity, or religion. However, what distinguishes muchcontemporary terrorism is not so much its motivation or purpose, but rather the extent of state involvement in carrying out well-planned and highly destructive acts against adversary nations.Another feature of contemporary terrorism has been the extent to which it has bee a media event. Terrorism is usually aimed at a media audience, not the actual victims. The act of media coverage also enhances the importance of “the problem” that led to the terrorist activities. Newspaper readers and television viewers see “the problem” as of much greater importance and as justifying national or international action.11.According to the passage, terrorism is widelyunacceptable ______.A) for its illegal actionsB)because it is often targeted at ordinary peopleC) as it usually leads to death and hatredD) for its violence12.The word “approach” at the end of t he firstparagraph refers to ______.A) legal warfareB)establishing a stateC) furthering one’sinterests via violenceD) terrorism13.People used to ______.A) underestimate theinfluence of terrorismB) pay much attention toterrorismC) suffer less from terrori sts’actionsD) have sympathy with the terrorists14.Terrorism in the past ______.A) had differentobjectivesB) had different motivationsC) was more influentialD) was less closely related togovernments15.Terrorists use media mainly ______.A) to maketheir aim known to the worldB) to carry outviolent actionsC) as an avenue of politicalexpressionD) to condemn the adversary nations Passage TwoQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.Given a good shopping position and the right amount of money available, an educated person ought to be able to make a small, steady living out of a bookshop. It is not a difficult trade to learn and the large chain-stores can never force the small independent bookseller out of existence as they have done to the corner shop and the local milkman. But the hours of work are very long ― I was only a part-time employee, but my employer put in a seventy-hour week, apart from regular journeys out of shopping hours to buy books. It is an unhealthy life too. As a rule a bookshop is very cold in winter, because if it is too warm the windows get steamed up, and a bookseller depends on the display in his windows trying to bring customers into his shop. Books give off more dust and dirtier dust than anything else yet invented, and the top of a book is the place where every fly prefers to die.But the real reason why I should not like to be back in the book trade for life is that while I was in it, I lost my love of books. A bookseller cannot always tell the truth about his books, and that gives him a dislike for them; still worse is the fact that he is always dusting them and moving them to-and-fro.There was a time when I really did love books ― loved the sight and smell and feel of them ― if they were fifty or more years old, that is. Nothing pleased me quite so much as to buy a bargain lot of them for 50 pence at a country auction sale. There is a peculiar flavor about the knocked-about unexpected books you pick up in that kind of collection; little-known eighteenth-century poets, out-of-date geography books, one or two volumes of forgotten novels. For occasional reading ― in your bath, for instance, or late atnight when you are too tired to go to sleep ― thereis nothing as good as a very old picture storybook.But as soon as I went to work in the bookshop I stopped buying books. Seen in a mass, five or ten thousand at a time, books were dull and even a little sickening. Nowadays I do buy one occasionally, but only if it is a book that I want to read and can’ t borro w, and I never buy rubbish.16.What does the author mean in the first sentenceof the passage?A) If an educated person wants tomake a living, he should run a bookshop.B) It iseasy for an educated person to earn money byrunning a bookshop.C) When an educated person isgiven a good shopping position and a certainamount of money he should open a bookshop.D) Ifan educated person has proper money and finds asuitable shopping location, he could open abookshop for steady ine.17.Running a bookshop is a good way to make a livingbecause ________.A) the owner will never beforced out of business by bigger shopsB) thereare many corner shops to helpC) even the localmilkmen e to buy booksD) the bookseller isindependent18.Bookshops are kept cold in winter because_______.A) it is a rule which must be followedB)booksellers want customers to see the displayclearly through the windowsC) more customers e to buy books in winterD) customers like them keptcold19.All of the following statements are true EXCEPT________.A) the author was tired of cleaningbooks and moving them about in the bookshopB) his telling lies about the books made him lose hislove of themC) running a bookshop is not adifficult trade to learnD) the author did notlike any books20.The author once took great pleasure in_________.A) buying old books and reading themoccasionallyB) taking bath occasionally late atnightC) buying all kinds of booksD) buying booksquite often which he was unable to borrowPassage ThreeQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.El Nino means “little boy” in Spanish; when capitalized, it refers to the Christ child. This innocent-sounding name originated in the 19th century, when Peruvian sailors noticed that every few years around Christmastime, waters near the coasts warmed upand the current shifted southward. But this “little boy” plays havoc around the globe.El Nino’s vast impact on humans has often been catastrophic. The El Nino of 1982?1983 inflicted $13 billion in damage and claimed some 2,000 lives. In Australia day turned to night when a dust storm blanketed Melbourne; brush fires raged in its wake. In place of its normal monsoon, Southern India got dried-up crops and the threat of mass starvation. At the same time, violent rainstorms devastated the Western Hemis phere: Peru’s fishing industry once one of the richest in the world was wiped out, and seaside towns were washed into the Pacific.Is there a good side to El Nino? There can be. Zebiak notes that the number of tropical hurricanes in the Atlantic is reduced during an El Nino year. One theory is that winds created by El Nino shear off the tops of Atlantic hurricanes, aborting them before they reach full force. And a team of scientists in Israel who study tree rings and satellite cloud pictures concluded that El Nino may bring precious moisture to the thirsty Middle East. "It is perhaps fitting that El Nino the Christ child should have a link to the Holy Land,” notes scientist Dan Yakir.This year, scientists around the world are keeping a sharp eye on El Nino. They know that the greater the temperature rise in Pacific waters off South America, the more powerful the El Nino. And this year’s waters have heated up unusually fast.El Nino’s effects won’tjust be climatic, of course the global economy is sure to suffer as well. Drought in Brazil and flooding in Colombia may result in higher prices for coffee andother crops. And fishing industries from Ecuador to California are already being hurt.Clearly, the more accurately scientists can forecast El Nino, the more people everywhere can prepare. Insurance panies, farmers, power and irrigation panies, public-safety agencies and even tourist boards could benefit from knowing in advance when El Nino will strike.“Reliable forecasting is still in its infancy,” states Mark Cane. Someday, perhaps, scientists will be able to predict exactly how El Nino will behave. But for now, batten down the hatches and get ready for some wild weather!21.The phrase “play havoc” in paragraph 1 means“ _____________________”.A) cause trouble,damage or destructionB) bring benefit orhappinessC) play an important roleD) havegreenhouse effect22.According to one theory mentioned in paragraph 3,_______.A) the winds created by El Nino willstrengthen Atlantic hurricanesB) the windscreated by El Nino can stop Atlantic hurricanesfrom reaching full forceC) El Nino may bringfloods to Middle East which is regarded as theHoly LandD) El Nino will not bring disaster tothe Holy Land, because it is the Christ child23.All of the following statements are true EXCEPT________.A) there are both good and bad sides toEl NinoB) El Nino causes global economy to suffera lotC) El Nino may bring precious moisture tothe thirsty Middle EastD) the El Nino of1982?1983 caused litt le damage to Peru’s fishing industry24.From the phrase “in its infancy” of the lastparagraph, we can infer that _________.A) theforecasting of El Nino is reliableB) insurancepanies and farmers benefit a lot from theforecasting of El NinoC) the forecasting of ElNino has only just started to developD)scientists can already predict exactly how ElNino will behave now25.From the passage we can see the author’sattitude toward El Nino is ___________________.A) optimisticB) pessimisticC) supportiveD) objectivePassage FourQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.We are all inclined to believe that our generation is more civilized than the generation that preceded ours. From time to time, there is even some substantial evidence that we hold in higher regard such civilized attributes as passion, pity, remorse (懊悔), intelligence and a respect for the customs of people different from ourselves.Why war then?Some pessimistic historians think the whole society of man runs in cycles and that one of the phases is war. The optimists, on the other hand, think war is not like an eclipse (日食) or a flood or a spell of bad weather. They believe that it is more like a disease for which a cure could be found if the causes were known.Because war is the ultimate drama of life and death storiesand pictures of it are more interesting than those about peace. This is so true that all of us, and perhaps those of us in television more than most, are often caught up in the action of war to the exclusion of the ideas of it.If it is true, as we would like to think it is, that our age is more civilized than ages past, we must all agree that it’s very strange thatin the twentieth century, our century, we have killed more than 70 million of our fellowmen on purpose, at war. It is very strange that since 1900 more men have killed more other men than in any other seventy years in history.Probably the reason we are able to do both, that is, believe on the one hand that we are more civilized and on the other hand wage war to kill ― is that killing is not so personal an affair as it once was. The enemy is invisible. One man doesn’t look another in the eye and run him through with a sword. The enemy dead or alive is largely unseen. He iskilled by remote control: a loud noise, a distant puff of smoke and then silence.The pictures of thevictim’s wife and children, which he carries in his breast pocket, are destroyed with him. He is not heard to cry out. The question of passion or pity or remorse does not enter into it. The enemy is not a man; he is a statistic. It is true, too, that more people are being killed at war now than previously because we’re better at doing it than we used to be. One man with one modern weapon can kill thousands.26.In modern wars more people get killed because_____.A) people are more cruelB) people don’tcare others’ lives C) people have more advancedweaponsD) people are more civilized27.In what way are we more civilized than theancients?A) We can kill more people.B) We respect those people different from us.C) We have moreinteresting stories of war.D) We don’t think ofkilling as a personal affair anymore.28.In modern war the enemy is treated as _____.A) ananimalB) a victimC) a manD) a statistic withoutlife29.How is the enemy killed in modern war?A) By anopponent running him through with a sword.B) By a man who knows him well.C) By remote control.D) Bya puff of smoke.30.What is the attitude of the author toward war?A)Negative.B) Supportive.C) Neutral.D) Indifferent.

This is Millicent McKay in Brussels with today’s worldwide Cultural Literacy Update. If you’re new to the program, here’s the format: in the studio three people take your phonecalls and answer your questions about etiquette in their countries. Today’s gue sts are Jettrin from Thailand, Nadia from Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, and Sujeet from Nepal. We’re all first-name here, so let me welcome Jettrin, Nadia, and Sujeet.M1: Sawatdee Khrab, Millicent. Good morning! I’m Jettrin from Thailand.F2: Hello. It’s nice to be with you. I’m Nadia from Dubai.M2: And good morning, Millicent, Jettrin, and Nadia, Sujeet from Nepal.F1: OK. Let’s get started. I see our first caller is on the line. Hello, Arturo from Montevideo. You’re on the air.M3: Good morning — a ctually, good evening. It’s 10:30 at night here in Montevideo. Here’s my question: I’m traveling on business to Thailand next month, and I’ll be working with Thai business managersfrom my company. What should I know?M1: Hello, Arturo. Jettrin here. Just a couple of things: First a taboo: Don’t touch anyone’s head, not even a child’s.M3: Hmm? Well, I don’t ordinarily touch people’s heads, but if you don’t mind my asking, what’s wrong with touching someone’s head?M1: Well, we believe the head is where the person’s soul lives. So it’s very disrespectful and offensive to touch a person’s head.M3: Any other tips?M1: Well, when you are seated, be sure not to cross your legs in such a way that others can see the bottomof your foot.M3: Actually, I knew that. But don’t worry. It’s good to be reminded. I do have one more specific question before I hang up.M1: Sure. What’s that?M3: In Uruguay it’s customary to shake hands, and I know Thai people greet each other with the wai. Will it seem impolite for a foreigner to do the wai? —and what happens if I don’t do it right? Will that be offensive?M1: Absolutely not! Just put the palms of your hands together on your chest and bow slightly. Say “Sawatdee —khrab.” For the women listening, you say “Sawatdee-kaa.” You will warm our heartswith that. Don’t worry if you don’t do it exactly the way Thais do it. And don’t worry about the pronunciation. Have a wonderful trip to Thailand. Try to do some sightseeing. And taste our wonderful food!M3: Thanks so much.F1: Thank you, Jettrin and Arturo for a good lesson in cultural literacy. Let’s take a break and then another call.CALL 2 Hiroko and Nadia [F3=Japanese]F1: Welcome back, listeners. This is Millicent McKay with a worldwide town meeting, answering allyour question s about do’s and taboos around the world. Let’s say hello to Hiroko from Osaka, Japan. Hiroko, you’re on the air.F3: Thank you, Millicent. My husband and I are going to Dubai. He’s a banker and has business there,but I’m going with him as a tourist. I’m very interested in all kinds of culture, and I understand Dubaiis very different from Japan. I have three questions.F2: Hello, Hiroko, Nadia on the line.F3: Thanks, Nadia. If I’m alone, can I walk on the street or drive a car?F2: Absolutely. As a woman traveler, you will have no difficulty getting around, even if you are alone. You can drive, and as long as you dress modestly, you can wear whatever you like.F3: Second question: I don’t speak any Arabic.F2: Again, no problem. As you know, Arabic is the official language of Dubai, but English is commonly used in tourism and commerce.F3: You speak very good English, Nadia. Where did you learn it?F2: I actually am an English teacher. I learned my English in the United States, at the University of Wisconsin.F3: And my last question: I’m an amateur photographer. Will I be able to take pictures in Dubai?F3: Well, yes, but you should know that it is considered offensive to take pictures of Muslim women here. F2: Oh. I’m glad I asked. What about pictures of men?F3: Well, yes, just be sure to ask permission.F3: I don’t know how to thank you. I’m really looking forward to the trip!F1: We’ll be right back with our final call.CALL 3 Javier and Sujeet [M4=Mexican]F1: I think we have time for one more caller. Javier from Mexico City! Welcome to the show. How can we help you?M4: [Mexican accent] I’m going to Nepal next month on an international trek. I will be staying with a Nepalese family for a weekend, and I want to be sure I don’t offend anyone. Mexico is v ery differentfrom Nepal.F1: Well, ... Let’s ask Sujeet to comment.M2: Hi, Javier. Let’s talk about table manners. First of all, Nepalese don’t usually use spoons, forks, or knives.M4: No? So how do the people eat? How will I eat?M2: Well, your hosts w ill eat with their right hand, never the left hand. But I’m sure they’ll provide you with spoons and forks. If they are welcoming foreigners into their home, they’ll want you to be comfortable. But remember one important taboo: Beef is strictly forbidden as a food in both Hinduand Buddhist homes. Our typical food, however, is wonderful and very flavorful and healthy.M4: That’s great, because I’m Mexican, and we have great food in Mexico, too. I love good food when I travel. Sujeet, I’m very interested in culture but I don’t know much about Hinduism and Buddhism.What can you tell me?M2: Well, if you visit a Hindu temple or a Buddhist shrine, you must remove your shoes. Or, if you prefer,you can wear open sandals. Check first; in some Hindu temples, non-H indus can’t enter. And, very important, don’t take leather things near the temple. And if you want to take picture, be sure to askbefore using your camera.M4: Thanks so much. I feel very prepared now.M2: My pleasure.F1: Well that’s all we have time for today. Until next time, this is Millicent McKay in Brussels, reminding you that in today’s world cultural literacy is an essential survival skill.Part 4 Understanding CulturePassage 1 How Casual Is Too Casual?Thirty years ago, most people in the Unite d States, Canada, and Europe didn’t think about what to wear to work in an office. Men always wore suits and ties. Women wore suits or conservative skirt outfits.But in the 1990s, that started to change.It began with “casual Fridays”. During the summer, some companies invited their employees to “dress down” or wear more casual clothes to work on Fridays. The policy quickly became popular with employees. After this, it didn’t take long for employees to start dressing more casually every day of the week.Many employees welcomed the new dress policy and the more comfortable work environment thatcame with it. Etiquette had definitely changed, and suits and ties were rarely seen in many offices. Some employees went as far as wearing jeans, T-shirt, and sneakers to the office.Then some people began to change their minds about casual dress at work. Many managers felt that casual dress had led to casual attitudes towards work. Now the etiquette for dress in many companies is beginning to change back again.Passage 2 The Origin of SaluteThe origin of the hand salute is uncertain. Some historians believe it began in late Roman times when assassinations were common. A citizen who wanted to see a public official had to approach with his right hand raised to show that he did not hold a weapon. Knights in armor raised visors with the right hand when meeting a comrade. The practice gradually became a way of showing respect and, in early American history, sometimes involved removing the hat. By 1820, the motion was modified to touching the hat, and since then it has become the hand salute used today.Passage 3 Cultural MisinterpretationsMr. Wang, the Chairman of Board of Directors of a Chinese firm, told a story on CCTV program “Dialog”of how he once almost lost a valuable Canadian employee working for him in Vancouver. He emailed everyday to the Canadian, inquiring for the index number he was most concerned about. To his great astonishment,his Canadian employee turned in his resignation after a week. Mr. Wang was puzzled how he could do that to him as he gave such great attention to his job. A Chinese employee would have been more than happy if his or her boss had showed such great concern for him or her. He then found out that, unlike Chinese employees, the Canadian took what meant great concern to Chinese as distrust. But Mr. Wang assumed unconsciously that the Canadian was more similar to his Chinese employees than he actually was and treated him just as he treated any Chinese employee.Lesson 2Part 1 EtiquetteConversation 1A: Hey, Sophia. I’m making beef for dinner. Would you like to come over?B: Thanks, Mark, but I don’t eat beef. There are rules against it in my culture.A: OK. Well maybe some other time. I can make chicken.B: Sounds good!Conversation 2A: What time are you going to dinner?B: The reservation is for 8:00, so I’ll get to the restaurant after that.A: No! In this culture it’s impolite to arrive late. You should be there no later that 8:00.Conversation 3A: Hi, I’m Elizabeth Flores, the new Eng lish teacher.B: Hello, I’m Patricia Small. I’m a teacher here, too. I’ll introduce you to everyone. How do you want the students to address you?A: What’s customary here?B: Well, in our culture it’s very impolite for a student to call a teacher by his or her first name.A: Then Ms. Flores is fine.Part 2 AddressingNicole: Hi, I’m Nicole Best. Nice to meet you.Todd: Nice to meet you, too. I’m Todd Vernon. Do people usually call you Nicole, or do you prefer Nikki?Nicole: At work I prefer Nicole, but all my friends call me Nikki.Todd: You use first names in your office? That’s great. My office is so formal. Everyone uses a titleand their last name.Nicole: I know what you mean. At my last job, everyone called me Miss Best, and that seemedreally strange.Part 3 Nonverbal CommunicationPassage 1 Right on TimeEveryone knows that different cultures have different ideas about punctuality. But one country —Ecuador — is trying something new.A group called Citizens’ Participation has found that being late c osts the country about $724 millioneach year. They report that more than half of all public events, as well as many government appointments and social activities, begin late. The group is trying to make people aware of punctuality and reminding them to be on time. The government, including the Ecuadorian president, is supporting the effort. Hundreds of Ecuadorian organizations and companies have signed agreements to be on time. Posters have been put up that remind people, “If you’re late, someone else is waiting.” One newspaper prints a list of government officials who arrive to events late.The campaign has generally been well-received by the Ecuadorian people and it seems to be working. Many businesses have reported that more meetings are now beginning on time.Passage 2 Seating ArrangementCulture influences the manner and meaning in seating arrangements.In the United States, they tend to talk with those opposite them rather than those seated or standing beside them. This pattern also influences how they select leaders when in groups: in most instances, the person sitting at the head of the table is chosen as the leader. Leaders usually are accustomed to being somewhat removed physically from the rest of the group and consequently choose chairs at the ends of the table.In China, seating arrangements take on different meanings. The Chinese often experience uneasiness when they face someone directly or sit on the opposite side of a desk or table from someone. It makes them feel as if they are on trial.Passage 3 Eye Contact Is Also a LanguageThe study of communications sent by the eyes is also a way of communication. What the eyes communicate often depends on the culture. In the United States, it is usual for people to maintain eye contact. If a person tries to avoid eye contact in a conversation, the other person may think that person is dishonest. In some Asian cultures such as Japan, students will often avoid making eye contact with their instructors as a sign of respect.Students in a business communication class at a Mid-South university were asked to test the concept of gaze and eye contact in the United States by maintaining steady eye contact with a person in the car next to them when they stopped at a traffic light. Responses varied from obscene gestures to making faces to returningthe gaze. Students concluded that US persons are very uncomfortable with prolonged eye contact.In other cultures, there is little direct eye contact. The Japanese direct their gaze below the chin; they are uncomfortable with maintaining direct eye contact throughout the conversation. People in China andIndonesia also lower the eyes as a sign of respect, feeling that prolonged eye contact shows bad manners.。

They even <8>whistled</8> the same tunes.
So when my father died of a heart attack in 1991, Jimmy was a <9>wreck</9>, <10>beneath</10> his careful <11>disguise</11>.
Eventually, I was able to work it out.
He has lived there for 11 years now with many different <20>caretakers</20> and <21>blossomed</21> on his own.
<P5>This hit home a few days after the September 11th disaster on Jimmy's 57th birthday.
I had a party for him in my home in New York, but none of our family could join us because travel was difficult <P6>and they were still <22>reckoning</22> with the <23>sheer</23> <24>terror</24> the disaster had brought.
I hired someone to live with him and drive him to work, but no matter how much I tried to make things stay the same, even Jimmy <16>grasped</16> that the world he'd known was gone.
In fact, caring for someone who loves as deeply and appreciates my efforts as much as Jimmy does has enriched my life more than anything else ever could have.
A thousand times Jimmy asked, "Is it time for the cake yet?"
After dinner and the gifts Jimmy could no longer be <39>restrained</39>.
He anxiously waited for the candles to be lit and then blew them out with one long breath as we all sang "Happy Birthday".
My mother died of lung cancer six months later and I alone was left to look after Jimmy.
<P4>He didn't adjust to going to work without my father right away, so he came and lived with me in New York City for a while.
We had wanted to let him know that no matter how difficult things got in the world, there would always be people who cared about him.
<P8>We ended up reminding ourselves instead.
My mother taught Jimmy practical things like how to brush his teeth or put on a belt.
<P2>My father, a <2>saint</2>, simply held the house together with his patience and understanding.
Accompanying my growing up was always "go out and play and take your brother with you".
I couldn't go anywhere without him, so I urged the neighborhood kids to come to my house for some out-of-control kid-centered fial to the neighborhood.
When you have any mail to be picked up or your dog needs walking, he is your man.
My mother was right, of course: It was possible to have a home with room for both his limitations and my ambitions.
But, as we sang for Jimmy and held each other tight afterward <46>praying</46> for peace around the world, <P9>we were reminded that the constant love and support of our friends and family would get us through whatever life might present.
He went wherever I went and seemed to adjust pretty well.
Still, Jimmy <18>longed</18> to live in my parents' house and work at his old job and I <19>pledged</19> to help him return.
<P1>My brother, Jimmy, did not get enough oxygen during a difficult <1>delivery</1>, leaving him with brain damage, and two years later I was born.
Since then, my life revolved around my brother's.
For Jimmy, the love with which we sang was a welcome <45>bonus</45>, but mostly he had just wanted to see everyone else happy again.
Just as my father's death had changed Jimmy's world overnight, September 11th changed our lives; the world we'd known was gone.
Instead of the <32>customary</32> "No gifts, please", I shouted, "Gifts! Please!"
My friends—people Jimmy had come to know over the years—brought the ideal presents: country music CDs, a <33>sweatshirt</33>, one <34>leather</34> belt with "J-I-M-M-Y" on it, a <35>knitted</35> wool hat and a <36>cowboy</36> <37>costume</37>.
Jimmy wasn't satisfied with our effort, though.
He jumped up on the chair and stood <40>erect</40> pointing both <42>index fingers</42> into the air to conduct us and yelled, "One... more... time!"
<P7>I called on my <25>faithful</25> friends to help make it a <26>merry</26> and <28>festive</28> occasion, ignoring the fact that most of them were emotionally <29>drained</29> and <31>exhausted</31>.
