As in other institutions of higher learning, ballet students receive monthly governmentstipends in their last four years, varying from 160 t0 200 rubles ( $ 16 to $ 20). Of the thirty pupils to begin ballet each year, fewer than twenty-five usually graduate; the others drop out because of' poor health or lack of ability.Upon graduation, the starting salary for members of a corps de ballet is 100 rubles a month, while prima ballerinas receive 6 000. Russia's most famous ballet company, the Bolshoi, has first pick of each gradU8ting class, but few dancers have the good fortune to begin with this company; all graduates, however, are assured of jobs in ballet.Stars such as Ulanova were produced in this fashion. with training started early and security, if not intellectual independence , guaranteed.51.

Convenience foods from the supermarket simplify shopping and cooking. Household appliances like the vacuum cleaner and the washing machine have taken the drudgery out of housework. Released from these household chores, many wives have found jobs outside the home. Women are achieving economic independence.Families, too, are simpler today. In America, it is not customary to live with their married children. With our greater mobility, relatives have scattered, the parents retiring to Florida or Arizona and the young people, after they marry, going wherever their jobs or their parents or their interests take them.Young adult women have new freedom, too. While attending college, they often live away from home, sometimes far from their parents of their relatives. After college, they move to the city, find a job, and set up a "bachelor" apartment.

Procrastination is something that many people struggle with, yet the reasons behind it are not always clear.Productivity expert, Caroline Adams Miller, believes that procrastination often stems from fear. By putting off a task, we avoid facing the possibility of failure or criticism. This fear offailure can be so powerful that it prevents us from even starting a project.In addition to fear, another common reason for procrastination is perfectionism. People who have perfectionist tendencies often put off starting a task because they want everything to be just right. They worry that their work won't be good enough, so it's easier to not even try.Some experts also believe that procrastination can be a result of poor time management skills. If we don't know how to effectively plan and prioritize our time, we may find ourselves putting off tasks until the last minute.No matter the reason behind procrastination, it's clear that breaking this habit is important for personal and professional success.

I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there’s a big difference between “being a writer” and writing. In most cases individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours alone at a typewriter. “You’ve got to want to write,” I say to them, not want to be a writer.”The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the US Coast Guard to become a freelance writer(自由撰稿者), I had no prospects at all. What I did have was a friend who found me a room in a New York apartment building. It didn’t even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought used manual typewriter and felt like a genuine writer.After a year or so, however, I still hadn’t got a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that I barely made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write. I had dreamed about it for years, I wasn’t going to be one of those people who die wondering. What if I would keep putting my dream to the test (even though it meant living with uncertainly and fear of failure)? This is the shadow-land of hope, and any one with a dream must learn to live there.51. The passage is meant to __________.A. warn young people of the hardships that a successful writer has to experienceB. encourage young people to pursue a writing careerC. show young people it’s unrealistic for a writer to pursue wealthD. advise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writer52. What can be concluded from the passage?A. A writer’s success depends on luck rather than on effort.B. Genuine writers often find their work interesting and rewarding.C. Famous writers usually live in poverty and isolation.D. The chances for a writer to become successful are small53. Why did the author begin to doubt himself after the first year of his writing career?A. He found his dream would never come true.B. He hadn’t seen a change for the better精品文档.C. He wasn’t able to have a rest f or a whole year.D. He wasn’t able to produce a single look.54. In line 12 “… people who die wondering”, “who” refers to “those __________.” A. who think a lot without making a decision B. who regret giving up their career halfway C. who think too much of the dark side of life D. who are full of imagination even upon deathPassage 2Students can travel in the United States without spending too much money if they follow these suggestions.A travel agent can give you information on special economy fares for trains, buses and planes. Think about hiking or biking for a part of your trip, too. You’ll not only save money, but you’ll also see a lot more of the country.Some students may want to travel by car. Be sure to think about going with other students —m any colleges have “ride boards” that list when and where other students plan to travel. Many radio stations provide the same sort of service—they announce who’s driving where, when, how many riders they will take and what the expenses will be.There are many inexpensive, older hotels near bus or train stations. Check your travel guide for names of the best. Many parts of the country also have youth hostels where young people can stay for only a few dollars a night.You don’t have to eat in restaurants all the time, but we don’t recommend a diet of candy and cola, either.

Less than a dozen of her poems were published during her lifetime. In spite of this, she isregarded today as a great poet, perhaps the greatest poet the United States has produced. Along with the Greek poet Sappho, she may be one of the two greatest women poets who have ever lived.Dickinson was born on December 10, 1830, in a small Massachusetts town called Amherst. Hers was an old family, and her ancestors had come to the United States 200 years before" Her parents were not really rich, but they were certainly not poor. She had an older brother, Austin, and a younger sister, Lavinia. Her parents seem to have been rather withdrawn people, and the members of the family spent a good deal of time by themselves. She doesn ’t seem to have liked her mother very much. She spoke once of never really having a mother.She was educated at the local Amherst Academy and Mount Holyoke Women ’s Seminary. Although she was sometimes described as pretty, she never married. In all outward respects, her life appeared to be rather boring.The time and place in which she lived was not a good one for a woman artist to succeed. Women are expected to be obedient to men and to remain in their place at home. Rather than waste her life in the meaningless round of social events that were open to women, she decided at some point to retreat from the world in order to write her poetry. From then on, shespent a great deal of time in her bedroom writing. In later years when she was standing in front of her bedroom door, shelooked at her niece and said, "It ’s just a turn --and freedom, Mary !" It was when she closed the door of her room and turned the key that locked the door that the most important and creative hours of her life were spent, the hour s when she wrote her poetry. She was regarded as a recluse by many of her neighbors, that is, as a person who spent a good deal of time by herself. 59. According to the writer, who is the greatest woman writer in America? A ．Both Sappho and Emily Dickinson. B ．Emily Dickinson. C ．Sappho. D ．Not mentioned in the passage. 60. Women in Emily Dickinson's time ________. A. are regarded as recluses B. are expected to be obedient to men C. spend most of their time in social event D. are expected to retreat from the world 61. Emily Dickinson's ancestors came to the United States in around _______. A. 1630 B. 1830 C. 1730 D. 1930 62. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. It is quite likely that Emily Dickinson didn't like her mother.B. Emily Dickinson regarded being locked in her room as "freedom".C. She is well-known in her lifetime and is still regarded as a great poet now.D. Her parents seem to have been rather withdrawn people, and they spent a good deal of time with their family members.71. In most cases individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours alone at a typewriter. 72. It was so hard to sell a story that I barely made enough to eat.73. Think about hiking or biking for a part of your trip, too. You’ll not only save money, but you’ll also see a lot more of the country.74. Many parts of the country also have youth hostels where young people can stay for only a few dollars a night. 75. In spite of this, she is regarded today as a great poet, perhaps the greatest poet the United States has produced. 76. 我们想知道他是如何解决那个问题的。

Additionally, online learning allows for a more personalized learning experience as students can focus on their individual needs and interests.On the other hand, online learning also has its disadvantages. One major drawback is the lack of face-to-face interaction with teachers and peers. This can lead to feelings of isolation and make it harder for students to ask questions and seek help when needed. Another disadvantage is the lack of practical hands-on experience, especially for subjects that require physical and laboratory work.In conclusion, online learning has both advantages and disadvantages.

It is clear she knows what it takes to get young people excited about science. But it was not always that way.When she first started teaching college freshman classes almost two decades ago.she says she struggled to grab the attention of her younger students. She was used to teaching juniors, as she had for a few years prior to that. By junior year, students majoring in physics are committed to learning, she says. But when it comes to teaching a large lecture hall of 100-plus first-year students, first impressions are make or break“I did not grab their attention on the first day-that was my mistake,"she says.“I missed this opportunity to bond with them from the very beginning."By the second semester, she adjusted her approach to make her lecture halls feel smaller, and get her students engaged.The key, she says, has been to make herself approachable and her instruction personal."“Talk to your students before and after class, walk up and down the stairs when you teach your class rather than stay on the stage. And don't just lecture, talk to them.make it interactive. When you ask the question, you expect the answer,"she says. “If you don't have the answer, you go to them and you still make them work with you-it's not always easy, but when you' re close to them, it's definitely easier."11. According to Paragraph l, professors find it more difficult to ____A. use smartphones in classB.become social media starsC. get students* attention in classD. give lectures without using laptops12.

He says automated cameras can help fill that blank.“The question is, how do we arrange them in a fair way with the public support?"Adkins said.No one likes getting a speeding ticket. But the objections to automated traffic enforcement go deeper than that. “It is doubtful that safety is the real goal,"said Jay Beeber, with the National Motorists Association, a driver advocacy group."We need to make sure that our cities have all the tools that are effective to reduce traffic deaths,"said Laura Friedman, a state lawmaker in California who sponsored the state law authorizing automated cameras.“We make sure it can't be a money grab,because the money can only be used for physical speed-lowering improvements on the same streets where you're using the cameras,"she said. “So it's really about changing the culture and slowing traffic down."16. Fitz Patrick has a radar gun becauseA. she is a traffie safety advocateB. she has two children at the schoolC. she has new cameras to catch speedersD. she is a school headmaster in Richmond17.

Critical.B. Intolerant.C.Sympathetic.D. Unconcerned.20.According to Laura Friedman, automated cameras are used toA. sponsor the state lawB. collect more money for schoolsC. let drivers respect the speed limitD. improve the traffic flow in the cityPassage ThreeQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Experts suggest that Americans stop worrying about getting a perfect eight hours of sleep, and warn that stressing about the magic number may actually result in a drop in sleep quality and duration.Dr, Reena Mehra, a director of sleep research at the Cleveland Clinic, held that focusing too much on falling asleep may interrupt the process, “It works against the individual."she said.According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than a third of Americans do not achieve the recommended seven to nine hours of sleep per night. The agency also found that quality sleep is determined by major sleep episodes that do no have frequent awakenings.One paper looking into the ideal amount of sleep found that “Sleep duration recommendations issued by public health authorities help to inform the population of interventions, policies, and healthy sleep behaviors, However, the ideal amount of sleep required each night can vary between different individuals due to gene-related factors and other reasons, and it is important to adapt our recommendations on a case-by-case basis."In the past, a lack of sleep was a sign to bosses that a person was productive and successful. But today, people try to create strategies to make the best use of their rest Researchers, scientists, psychologists and individuals in the sleep business said that the best course of action when it comes to sleep is to relax.Albert Einstein College of Medicine clinical associate professor of psychology DrShelby Harris said patterns and routines are more important than the magic eight-hour number, However, she stressed that people do not need to be so rigid that they can no longer sleep at all if they have to break from their routine to work late or deal with a restless child. Harris also noted that it is essential to remember that humans were able to sleep peacefully well before the invention of drugs and technology. “The pressure we put on ourselves is making sleep worse,"she said.21.In writing Paragraph 2, the author aims to _____A. give a definitionB. draw a conclusionC. make a comparisonD. support a viewpoint22.According to Paragraph 4, the ideal amount of sleep required each night ____A. can affect genesB. is based on policiesC. is different from person to personD. should be revised by public authorities23.

According to the last paragraph, Dr. Shelby Harris thinks that ______A. rigid persons need longer sleepB. a magic number can make you peacefulC. good sleep habits can improve your sleep qualityD. drugs and technology are essential for a restless child25.

Somebody once asked me, "Why do you always insist on taking the hard road?" I replied, "Why do you assume I see two roads?"We often limit ourselves by thinking that there are only a few choices available to us. We believe that there is an easy road and a hard road, and we always try to choose the easy one. But what if there is only one road? What if we are only deceiving ourselves by thinking that we have alternatives?Life is not about taking the easy road; it's about taking the road that leads to personal growth and fulfillment. So don't be afraid of the hard road. Embrace it, and you will discover the extraordinary things that are waiting for you along the way.2. 根据短文，以"Choosing the Hard Road"为题，写一篇150词左右的英语短文，概括主要内容，要点齐全，语言准确，层次清晰。

That is when sleeping insects“wake up”.Some experts define“regularly”as at least five days in a row.Damiano says she usually waits seven nights.However,even then,she says to keep the plant matter on the ground for another week or so before removing it from your property.This gives any insects that are still“sleeping”enough time to wake up.A.ifB.whichC.takeD.mediumE.agoF.thatG.formed H.placing I.including J.levels K.though L.strategicallyEarly cleaning of a garden is often followed by early mulching.Applying mulch makes the garden look neat and clean.But Damiano reminds us that soil and plants are not just for show. They are part of a living ecosystem.Mulch is an important part of a healthy garden.It keeps soil wet,limits the growthof weeds,and helps keep soil temperatures even.But timing is important.Mulching before the soil has warmed enough will keep in the cold and slow the reawakening of the plants.This can also limit their growth.And if the soil is wet,early mulching can lead to mold,mildew,and fungal diseases. Before applying mulch,wait until it is safe to plant annuals and warm-season vegetables in your area.11.What does the underlined phrase“getting their hands dirty”in paragraph1mean?A.To take a boring jobB.To play dirty tricksC.To do their gardeningD.To sell their vegetables12.What will happen if the plant matter is removed too early?A.More flowers will grow in the gardenB.Some important insects will be taken awayC.More sleeping insects will be eaten by birdsD.The gardener will harvest more vegetables in fall13.According to Damiano,when can a gardener start clearing the ground for new plantings?A,After the flowers come outB.After the sleeping insects wake upC.Before the temperature are above10℃D.Before the insects begin their life cycles14.Damiano thinks that early mulching may________.A.make the insects healthyB.keep soil temperatures unevenC.restrict the growth of the plantsD.reawaken the plants quickly15.This passage is probably selected from a_______.A.fashion magazineB.weather reportC.sports newspaperD.gardening book Passage TwoQuestions16to20are based on the following passage.The man who made the first call from a wireless phone is now94years old.The year was1973.Martin Cooper operated a large,heavy new communication device on a street in New York City.The device was not physically connected to phone lines.But,Cooper was able to make use of it-he called a technology business competitor.Fifty years later,the inventor says he hopes wireless phones can make life better but he also expresses some worries.“My most negative opinion is that we don’t have any privacy anymore because everything about us is now recorded someplace,”Cooper said.And,he says he is concerned about how easily young people can link to harmful online material on their cell phones.Cooper spoke with the Associated Press from Barcelona,Spain,where he attended the Mobile World Congress,the biggest telecom industry trade show.Cooper received an award there for his lifetime of work.Cooper says he is an optimist.He believes the technology’s best days may still be ahead in areas such as education and health care.“Between the cellphone and medical technology and the internet,we are going to conquer disease,”he said Monday,at the MWC. Cooper was working for Motorola when he used the Dyna-Tac phone to make a call in April1973.Things have changed greatly since then.But,he said,“we had no way of knowing this was the historic moment.”Cooper said there are still ways for the mobile phone to change.The first one he used weighed over1kilogram.Today,they are small. But he thinks one day,they will be more like a part of our body than something we hold. He said perhaps the human body can even power the phones.”The human body is the charging station,right?”he asked.The body makes energy from food,he argues,so it could possibly also power a phone.Instead of holding the phone in the hand,for example, the device could be placed under the skin.Cooper said he also hopes there can be more protection for internet users concerned about privacy and for children.Speaking about privacy concerns,he said:“it’s going to get resolved,but not easily.”He also said there should be a special internet for children so they do not run into material made for adults.Cooper said the idea for the mobile phonecame from a communication device used by the comic book character Dick Tracy.The imaginary detective had a wristwatch from which he could make phone calls.16.According to Paragraph1,Martin Cooper________.A.made the first wireless phone call in1973B.invented a device physically linked to phone linesC.operated a new communication device94years agoed a wireless phone invented by his business competitor17.According to Paragraph2,Cooper thinks that mobile phones can easily______.A.increase business competitionB.protect the privacy of young peopleC.expose children to harmful online materialsD.do something harmful to online technology18.What does the underlined word“this”in Paragraph4refer to?A.The Mobile World CongressB.Cooper’s contribution to health careC.Cooper’s call via the Dyna-Tac phoneD.The award for Cooper’s lifetime work19.Cooper thinks that the mobile phone in the future may_____.A.weight over1kilogramB.be made of special metalse energy directly from foodD.be powered by the human body20.According to the last paragraph,what does Cooper suggest about protection for children?A.Providing a special internet for themB.Offering course on privacy protectionC.Placing the mobile phone under the skinD.Allowing them to browse materials for adultsPassage ThreeQuestions21to25are based on the following passage.Section B（15points）A new study suggests the singing noises made by humpback whales（座头鲸）might be a sign of loneliness.Scientists who recorded humpback whale behavior in Australia discovered that fewer whales made the singing noises,also called wailing,as their population grew.“Humpback whale song is loud and travels far in the ocean,”said marine biologist Rebecca Dunlop of the University of Queensland in Brisbane.She has long studied humpback whales and helped lead the new study.Her work has centered on humpbacks that reproduce near Australia’s Great Barrier Reef.Dunlop told The Associated Press she made an unexpected find as whale numbers sharply rose following the end of commercial whaling（捕鲸）.”It was getting more difficult to actually find singers,”she said.Dunlop added,“When there were fewer of them, there was a lot of singing-now that there are lots of them,no need to be singing so much.”Scientists first began to hear and study the complex songs of the humpback whales in the1970s.They used underwater microphones to do so.Only male whales sing. Eastern Australia’s humpback whales came close to disappearing in the1960s,when their number dropped to around200.But over time the population began to regrow, climbing to about27,000whales by2015.That number is near estimated pre-whaling levels.As the density of whales increased,their singing behaviors changed.While2in10 males wailing noises in2004,10years later the number had dropped to1in10,Dunlop said.The team’s study appeared in a recent issue of Nature Communications Biology. Dunlop said she thinks singing played a big part in bringing in mates when populations were severely reduced.“It was hard just to find other whales in the area,because thereweren’t many,”she added.When humpbacks live in denser populations,males looking for mates also have to deal with competing whales.Dunlop explained the singing noise might bring in other possible mates.The research suggests the seas are still noisy with humpback whale sounds.Many humpbacks seek to bring in mates with a combination of singing and physical movements, the study notes.The large increase in the humpback population during the study period provided valuable data about changes in the animals’behavior,said Simon Ingram.He studied humpback whales at the University of Plymouth in Britain.Ingram said humpback whales must have been singers long before whaling reduced their numbers.But the new study demonstrates how necessary their complex and beautiful songs were to their survival and recovery.21.According to Paragraph1,humpback whales make singing noises probably to____.A.look for foodB.attack rivalsC.lead other whalesD.express emotions22.According to Paragraph2,what can we learn about Dunlop’s finding?A.All the whales are good singers.B.Humpback whales are too lazy to sing.mercial whaling helps protect the Great Barrier Reef.D.More humpback whales lead to reduction of singing noises.23.Why do male humpback whales sing?A.To help them find matesB.To attract other male whalesC.To resist commercial whalingD.To damage underwater microphones.24.What’s probably Dunlop’s research field?A.Ocean biologyB.Animal medicineC.Physical sciencemercial whaling25.According to Simon Ingram,humpback whales_____.A.stop singing after the whaling end in PlymouthB.rely on their songs for their survival and recoveryC.change their singing behaviors constantly in BritainD.make more singing noises with the help of scientistsDirections:In this section,some sentences have been removed from the following passage. For Questions26-30,choose the most suitable one from the list A-G to fit into each of the numbered blanks.There are two extra choices,which do not fit into any of the blanks.

As you enter each zone, the time changes one hour. Traveling west, you set your clock back; traveling east, you set it ahead. Each day of your trip has either twenty-five of twenty-three hours. If you travel by ship across the Pacific, you cross the international date line. By agreement, this is the point where a new day begins.

Specialist advice is available to help you choose the most suitable breed of dog. But in part, the decision depends on common sense.

Dogs are demanding pets. Cats love the house and so are satisfactory with their place which is secure, but a dog is loyal to its master and consequently wants him to show proof of his affection.The best time to buy a baby dog is when it is between 6 and 8 weeks old so that it can transfer its affection from its mother to its master. If baby dogs have not established a relationship with the human being until they are over three months old, their strong relationship will always be withdogs.

They have to show that they will be able to pay for each year of study.Students have to consider not only the tuition, the cost of classes, buEducational advisers say foreign students should keep enough money in a local bank to pay for at least two months of spending. So how much will it cost every year to study at an American school? Generally speaking, the answer is: a lot. The University of Washington says foreign students are paying more than thirty-six thousand dollars this year. Its website says the University of Washington does not offer financial assistance to international students.This is generally true of American schools, especially at the undergraduate level. It means foreign students are faced with a heavy financial burden.The international application for the university includes a Statement of Financial Responsibility that must be signed. Students must also provide a bank letter or statement from within the past six months. And they have to name anyone who will help with payments. These people must send proof from a bank to show that they have the money.The government or employer may be able to help you pay all or some college costs. A good idea is to ask at least eighteen months before you want to start classes in the United States.Enough time should be ensured to go through procedures.59.

Whom I nodded to himPassage OneThere is so much more meaning to a message than what exists in the spoken or written words. For example, if a personnding on whether it is said by man or a woman, insays, “you know, Barbara, I really like you,” it has different meanings depean office or a bar. Context, the tone of voice, the stress put on certain words, as well as the eye contact, physical distance, andSometimes, thesethe relationship between the speaker and the listener are all factors whic h give meaning to what’s being said.factors can generate much more meaning than the words themselves. If a friend say to me, “Gee, I can’t wait to see the the upcoming election,” my interpretation of that message will be based upon my knowledge of my friendsituation with the current campaign, and my ability to understand the meaning behind the tone of voice.Our ability to understand such cue is developed without us being aware of it through our process of socialization, Our interpretation of these cues just comes naturally. Every culture has its own set of culture cues that each member of that culturewords in totally understands. It’s common how a person from culture A and a person from culture B interpret the very samedifferent ways. Here are some examples:When ”Sarcasm” Means “Sincerity” Marsha thought things were going well with her new French friends, particularly Bertrand. He often invited her tointeresting and fun events, but he was often making fun of her. One day at an art exhibition, while looking at a particularly, abstract piece, Marsha said that she couldn’t understand what the artist was trying to express. Bertrand smiled and resp“Yes, I’m afraid French art is far too advanced for Americans to understand.” Marsha was upset; she rea couldn’t figure out what caused him to frequently make fun of her. So, she asked her host mother about it. tnce, when someone feels comfortable enough to make fun of you,mother told her, “This means that he really likes you. In Frathat mean that you have been welcomes as a very close friends.”Joshua, an American student in Heredia, Costa Rican partner to meet for coffee. When he asked what time they shouldmeet, the response was “Nos encontramos ahora en elparquet”. “Ahora” literally means now. So, he grabbed his jac headed straight to the park where they agreed to meet. Half an hour later, his friend arrived without the least sigh of regret forbeing late. After discussing the matter with his Spanish teacher, Joshua learned that in Costa Rica, ”Aho within the hour. And, if people decide to meet someplace like park, it is no problem for one or the other to wait for a whilebecause they will spend some nice time in the park, probably running into some other friends, or meeting someone friendly.When “Yes” Doesn’t Means “Yes”Many business people might have experienced this frustrating situation in Japan. Sarah, a young businesswoman fromNew York, was sent to Japan to close a big deal for her company. While giving her presentation, she became more and morecertain of sale because her Japanese business partners continually nodded their heads as she spoke. When she finished, shethought the deal was made and asked when they would like to sign the agreement. She was shocked when she was told that theywere not yet sure if they wanted to make the deal or not. What Sarah did not know is that in Japan, nodding head does notnecessarily mean “yes” as it does in the US. It can also mean “yes, I am listening and understanding what you These stories provide just a few examples of how language skills are simply not enough to achieve effectivecommunication in another culture. To get the most of your international learning experience, focus on gaining cross-culturalskills will enable you do the following: understand how culture affects communication; deal with behavior that seems to youstrange or offensive; learn from your cultural adaptation process;communicate more effectively.These skills will also help you when you learn a new language. After all, language is a reflection of the culture from whichit developed.51. This passage tells us that .A. sometimes, all the meaning of a message is revealed from the tone of voice.B. language skills can convey more meaning than you can understand.C. language skills alone are not enough for cross-cultural communication.D. meaning of a message only exist in the spoken or written words.52. According to the passage, all the following statements are not true except .A. We are born with the ability to understand the cultural cues.B. Marsha’s French friend, Bertrand, didn’t like her and often laughed at her ignorance of the French atr.C. Joshua learned that in Costa Rica, people are usually late for their appointments and won’t feD. Nodding in Japan is understood in quite a different way from that in America.53. The stories told in the passage show that language skills are not enough for people to communicate effectively in .A. the same culture.B. another culture.C. family members.D. in the same situation.54. will also be helpful when we learn a new language.A. Cross-cultural skillsB. Spoken languageC. Behavior studyD. CommunicatingPassage TwoThe automobile has given people incredible freedom of movement.
