The process of perceiving others is rarely translated(to ourselves or others) into cold,objective terms．"She was 5 feet 8 inches tall, had fair hair, and wore a colored skirt．" More often, we try to get inside the other person to pinpoint his or her attitudes, emotions, motivations,abilities, ideas, and characters． Furthermore, we sometimes behave as if we can accomplish this difficult job very quickly--perhaps with a two-second glance．
We try to obtain information about others in many ways． Berger suggests several methods for reducing uncertainties about others; who are known to you so you can compare the observed person's behavior with the known others' behavior, observing a person in a situation where social behavior is relatively unrestrained or where a wide variety of behavioral responses are called for,deliberately structuring the physical or social environment so as to observe the person's responses to specific stimuli, asking people who have had or have frequent contact with the person about himor her, and using various strategies in face-to-face interaction to uncover information about another person--question, self-disclosures, and so on．
Getting to know someone is a never-ending task, largely because people are constantly
changing and the methods we use to obtain information are often imprecise． You may have known someone for ten years and still know very little about him． If we accept the idea that we won't ever fully know another person, it enables us to deal more easily with those things that get in the way of accurate knowledge such as secrets and deceptions． It will also keep us from being too surprised or shocked by seemingly inconsistent behavior． Ironically, those things that keep us from knowing another person too well (e． g． secrets and deceptions) may be just as important to the development of a satisfying relationship as those things that enable us to obtain accurate knowledge about a person (e． g． disclosures and truthful statement)．
There are things that we find preventing us from knowing others． These things are__________．

A.disclosures
B.deceptions
C.stimuli
D.interactions

Messages from the Media
1. The weather forecast,a story about the candidates in an election,and movie reviews are exam-ples of messages from the media. A communication medium , of which the plural（复数的）form is
media,is a means of communicating a message .Examples of media are television,radio,news-pa-pers and books and the telephone.The media that can reach many people at once are called mass media.

3. Most of us get more information from the media than from the classroom.Think for a moment, about how you learn about local news and events.Do you depend on other people or the media?
What about international news?What is the most important source of information for you?People who are asked this question usually answer,"Television".
4. Think of all the messages you received today.Perhaps you read a newspaper during breakfast, or maybe you read advertisements on billboards（露天广告牌）on your way to school.

"Clean your plate!"and"Be a member of the clean-plate club!"Just about every kid in the US has heard this from a parent or grandparent. Often,it's accompanied by an appeal:"Just think about those starving orphans in Africa!"Sure,we should be grateful for every bite of food. Unfortunately,many people in the US take too many bites.Instead of staying"clean the plate",perhaps we should save some food for tomorrow.
According to news reports,US restaurants are partly to blame for the growing bellies.A waiter puts a plate of food in front of each customer,with two to four times the amount recommended by the government,according to a USA Today story.Americans traditionally associate quantity with, value and most restaurants try to give them that.They prefer to have customers complain about too much food rather than too little.
Barbara Rolls,a nutrition professor at Pennsylvania State University,told USA Today that restaurant portion sizes began to grow in the 1970s,the same time that the American waistline began to expand.
Health experts have tried to get many restaurants to serve smaller portions.Now,apparently, some customers are calling for this too.The restaurant industry trade magazine QSR reported last month that 57 percent of more than 4,000 people surveyed believe restaurants serve portions that are too large;23 percent had no opinion;20 percent disagreed.But a closer look at the survey indicates that many Americans who can't afford fine dining still prefer large portions.Seventy percent of those earning at least ￥150,000 per year prefer smaller portions;but only 45 percent of those earning less than ￥25,000 want smaller.
It's not that working class Americans don't want to eat healthy.It's just that,after long hours at lowpaying jobs,getting less on their plate hardly seems like a good deal.They live from paycheck to paycheck,happy to save a little money for next year's Christmas presents.

What happened in the 1970s?
A:The US government recommended the amount of food a restaurant gave to a customer.
B:Health experts persuaded restaurants to serve smaller portions.
C:The United States produced more grain than needed.
D:The American waistline started to expand.

Three Ways to Become More Creative

Most people believe they don't have much imagination.They are wrong. Everyone has imagination,but
most of us,once we become adults,forget how to access it. Creativity isn't always connected with great works
of art or ideas.People at work and in their free time routinely think of creative ways to solve problems.Maybe
you have a goal to achieve,a tricky question to answer or you just want to expand your mind!Here are three
techniques to help you.
This technique involves taking unrelated ideas and trying to find links between them.First,think about
the problem you have to solve or the job you need to do.Then find an image,word,idea or object,for exam-
pie,a candle.Write down all the ideas/words associated with candles:light,fire,matches,wax,night,silence,
etc.Think of as many as you can?The next stage is to relate the ideas to the job you have to do?So imagine
you want to buy a friend an original present,you could buy him tickets to a match or take him out for the
night.
Imagine that normal limitations don't exist. You have as much time/space/money,etc.as you want.
Think about your goal and the new possibilities.If,for example,your goal is to learn to ski,you can now prac-
tice skiing every day of your life(because you have the time and the money).Now adapt this to reality.May-
be you can practice skiing every day in December,or every Monday in January.
Look at the situation from a different point of view. Good negotiators（谈判者）use this technique in business;
and so do writers.Fiction writers often imagine they are the characters in their books.They ask questions:
what does this character want?Why can't she get it?What changes must she make to get what she wants?
What does she dream about?If your goal involves other people,put yourself" in their shoes".The best fisher-
men think like fish!

According to the passage,when we become adults_______________.
A:most of us are no longer creative
B:we are not as imaginative as children
C:we can still learn to be more creative
D:we are unwilling to be creative

When we listen to a person talking,the most important thing for us to do is to__________.

A.notice the way the person is talking
B.take a good look at the person talking
C.mind his tone,his posture and the look in his eyes
D.examine the real meaning of what he says based on his manner,his tone and his posture

It's almost impossible to go through life without experiencing some kind of failure.People who do so probably live so cautiously that they go nowhere.Put simply,they’re not real living at all.But,the wonderful thing about failure is that it's entirely up to us to decide how to look at it.We can choose to see failure as"the end of the world,"or as proof of just how inadequate we are.Or,we can look at failure as the incredible learning experience that it often is.Every time we fail at something,we can choose to look for the lesson we're meant to learn.These lessons are very important;they're how we grow,and how we keep from making that same mistake again.Failures stop us only if we let them.Failure can also teach us things about ourselves that we would never have learned otherwise.For instance,failure can help you discover how strong a person you are.Failing at something can help you discover your truest friends,or help you find unexpected motivation to succeed.

资料：Because of the biochemical reactions in your body that occur with every type of food you eat on a daily bases, some foods age you faster than your real age, while other foods help to fight aging.
Three of the processes that go on inside your body that have a major impact on your rate of aging are called “glycation”, “inflammation” and “oxidation”.
When we talk about aging, we’re not just talking about wrinkles on your skin or how thick your hair is, we’re also talking about factors that you can’t see, such as how well your organs function, and whether your joints are degrading.

The passage is probably___.

A.the preface of a book.
B.an excerpt from a paper on health
C.a book review

Three Ways to Become More Creative

Most people believe they don't have much imagination.They are wrong. Everyone has imagination,but
most of us,once we become adults,forget how to access it. Creativity isn't always connected with great works
of art or ideas.People at work and in their free time routinely think of creative ways to solve problems.Maybe
you have a goal to achieve,a tricky question to answer or you just want to expand your mind!Here are three
techniques to help you.
This technique involves taking unrelated ideas and trying to find links between them.First,think about
the problem you have to solve or the job you need to do.Then find an image,word,idea or object,for exam-
pie,a candle.Write down all the ideas/words associated with candles:light,fire,matches,wax,night,silence,
etc.Think of as many as you can?The next stage is to relate the ideas to the job you have to do?So imagine
you want to buy a friend an original present,you could buy him tickets to a match or take him out for the
night.
Imagine that normal limitations don't exist. You have as much time/space/money,etc.as you want.
Think about your goal and the new possibilities.If,for example,your goal is to learn to ski,you can now prac-
tice skiing every day of your life(because you have the time and the money).Now adapt this to reality.May-
be you can practice skiing every day in December,or every Monday in January.
Look at the situation from a different point of view. Good negotiators（谈判者）use this technique in business;
and so do writers.Fiction writers often imagine they are the characters in their books.They ask questions:
what does this character want?Why can't she get it?What changes must she make to get what she wants?
What does she dream about?If your goal involves other people,put yourself" in their shoes".The best fisher-
men think like fish!

The second technique suggests that you just imagine _______________.
A:setting a goal is as simple as skiing
B:you have every resource to achieve your goal
C:new possibilities will soon appear
D:December and January are the best months for skiing

The First Four Minutes

When do people decide whether or not they want to become friends?During their first four minutes
together,according to a book by Dr. Leonard Zunin.In his book,Contact:The First Four Minutes,he
offers this advice to anyone interested in starting new friendships:"________(46)A lot of people's whole
lives would change if they did just that."
You may have noticed that the average person does not give his undivided attention to someone he has
just met._________(47)If anyone has ever done this to you,you probably did not like him very much.
When we are introduced to new people,the author suggests,we should try to appear friendly and
self-confident. In general,he says,"People like people who like themselves".
On the other hand,we should not make the other person think we are too sure of ourselves.It is
important to appear interested and sympathetic,realizing that the other person has his own needs,fears,and
hopes.
Hearing such advice,one might say,"But I'm not a friendly,self-confident person.That's not my
nature.It would be dishonest for me to act that way."
__________(48)We can become accustomed to any changes we choose to make in our personality."It is
like getting used to a new car. It may be unfamiliar at first,but it goes much better than the old one."
But isn't it dishonest to give the appearance of friendly self-confidence when we don't actually feel that
way?Perhaps,but according to Dr. Zunin,"total honesty"is not always good for social relationships,
especially during the first few minutes of contact. There is a time for everything,and a certain amount of
play-acting may be best for the first few minutes of contact with a stranger. That is not the time to complain
about one's health or to mention faults one finds in other people.It is not the time to tell the whole truth
about one's opinions and impressions.
________(49)For a husband and wife or a parent and child,problems often arise during their first
four minutes together after they have been apart. Dr. Zunin suggests that these first few minutes together be
treated with care.If there are unpleasant matters to be discussed,they should be dealt with later.
The author says that interpersonal relations should be taught as a required course in every school,along
with reading,writing,and mathematics.__________(50)That is at least as important as how much we know.

_________（49）
A:In reply,Dr. Zunin would claim that a little practice can help us feel comfortable about changing our social habits.
B:Much of what has been said about strangers also applies to relationships with family members and friends.
C:In his opinion,success in life depends mainly on how we get along with other people.
D:Every time you meet someone in a social situation,give him your undivided attention for four minutes.
E:He keeps looking over the other person'S shoulder,as if hoping to find someone more interesting in another part of the room.
F:He is eager to make friends with everyone.

Three Ways to Become More Creative

Most people believe they don't have much imagination.They are wrong. Everyone has imagination,but
most of us,once we become adults,forget how to access it.Creativity isn't always connected with great works
of art or ideas.People at work and in their free time routinely think of creative ways to solve problems.Maybe
you have a goal to achieve,a tricky question to answer or you just want to expand your mind!Here are three
techniques to help you.
This technique involves taking unrelated ideas and trying to find links between them. First,think about
the problem you have to solve or the job you need to do.Then find an image,word,idea or object,for exam-
ple,a candle.Write down all the ideas/words associated with candles:light,fire,matches,wax,night,silence,
etc.Think of as many as you can.The next stage is to relate the ideas to the job you have to do.So imagine
you want to buy a friend an original present,you could buy him tickets to a match or take him out for the
night.
Imagine that normal limitations don't exist.You have as much time/space/money,etc.as you want.
Think about your goal and the new possibilities.If,for example,your goal is to learn to ski,you can now prac-
tice skiing every day of your life(because you have the time and the money).Now adapt this to reality.May-
be you can practice skiing every day in December,or every Monday in January.
Look at the situation from a different point of view. Good negotiators（谈判者）use this technique in
business,and so do wnters.Fiction writers often imagine they are the characters in their books.They ask
questions:What does this character want?Why can't she get it?What changes must she make to get what
she wants?What does she dream about?If your goal involves other people,put yourself" in their shoes".The
best fishermen think like fish!

We learn from the third technique that a good salesman should ask himself:_________?
A:What do I usually do
B:What did my boss tell, me to do
C:What are my customers' needs
D:How should I sell my products
