  For millions of Facebook users,choosing which photo to use for an online profile is an important decision. According to a study by researchers at the UT Dallas Center,the photos we select may reflect individual preferences,but they also appear to reflect more deeply rooted,unconscious cultural differences. Previous research has shown that culture can affect not only language and custom,but also how we experience the world and process information. Western cultures,for example,condition people to think of themselves as highly independent entities (实体) ，whereas East Asian cultures stress collectivism and interdependence.

  Dr. Denise Park,codirector of the Center at UT Dallas,and former graduate student Dr. Chih-Mao Huang of the University of Illinois,were curious about whether these patterns of cultural influence extend to cyberspace (网络空间) .In a paper published in the International Journal of Psychology,they examined the profile photographs of more than 500 active Facebook users from the United States and East Asia. Overall,they found that profile photos of Americans are more likely to focus on the individual's face,while the profiles of East Asians tend to less emphasize the face and include more background features. Americans also show greater smile intensity compared to East Asian Facebook users.

  The findings show marked cultural differences in the focus of attention among East Asian and American Facebook users. Moreover,they echo previous research on cultural influences on visual perception (感知) ，attention,and reasoning in the offline world.

  "We believe these findings relate to a cultural bias (偏见，偏差) to be more individualistic and independent in the US and more communal (公共的) and interdependent in Asia," said Park.

  The research also found that cultural influences over our selfpresentation online can shift over time and from place to place. In one of the study samples,Americans studying in Japan and Japanese studying in the US both showed a tendency to adjust their profile photos to the general preferences of their host country.

  "Facebook constitutes an extended social context in which personal profiles mirror various individual characteristics,private thoughts,and social behaviors," noted Huang. " As such,the study presents a new approach to investigate cognition and behaviors across cultures by using Facebook as a data collection platform."

(   ) 1. The underlined word "condition" in the first paragraph probably means         .

   A. advise   B. instruct   C. shape   D. forbid

(   ) 2. We can know from the passage that Mongolians probably emphasize         .

   A. cultural influences   B. social behaviors

   C. independent existence   D. collective power

(   ) 3. It can be inferred that a Korean studying in the US is likely to         .

   A. use a picture of his face on Facebook

   B. adjust to American preferences quickly

   C. change his profile photos from time to time

   D. put up a photo of his apartment on Facebook

(   ) 4. According to Dr. Huang,Facebook can help to         .

   A. make up a more extended social context

   B. study the diversity of worldwide cultures

   C. promote communication between east and west

   D. combine different cultures from different aspects

  My good friend Will recently asked for some advice dealing with what he calls" The Rush Hour"：... now between4:00 and5:00 has become the Rush Hour for me: how many proposals,quotes,emails,phone calls can you get out before most people head home? That hour never has enough minutes anymore.

  For many the term" Rush Hour" refers to the mad rush to get home from work and relax,but many people deal with Will's version every day. It's the mad rush to finish everything you need to get done so that you can get into your car and battle the other rush hour.

  Doesn't sound like a very productive way to work or loads of fun now,does it? For me,having anything wait until the last minute can be a major stress and I avoid it whenever possible. So,having trouble with "rush hour" yourself? I've got a few tips that might help.

  A threestep approach can keep tasks from stacking (堆积) up in the last hour of the day.

1. Plan your day.

2. Do easy tasks first.

3. Don't procrastinate. Proper Planning Is Key.

  Planning out your day(and your week and your month) can be a real help. If you take a few minutes early in the day to get a handle on what you need to do you can better manage your time and keep tasks from stacking up. Tackle Easy Stuff First.

  Once you've done your planning,do yourself a favor and set aside some time to clear any small stuff off your plate. The things that tend to pile up at the end of days are usually smaller tasks,and there are usually quite a few of them. Knocking things out early on will help you build a productive momentum (推动力) for your whole day. The Early Bird Gets The Worm.

  The best way to avoid" rush hour" is to be sure you've finished everything early. Make sure you're getting an early start on all your tasks. I'm a huge fan of the quick start; it really does work.

  You don't even have to make significant progress on your tasks. Sometimes even the smallest effort at the beginning can make a ton of difference in the long run. Just remember,every little bit you can get done early is a bit you won't have to deal with during your"rush hour".

(   ) 5. A good suggestion to dealing with "rush hour" is that         .

   A. you'd better finish all the tasks as early as you can

   B. you'd better get a handle on what you need to do after the task

   C. you'd better get home from work earlier than usual

   D. you'd better come to the difficult jobs first

(   ) 6. Which of the following words has the same meaning as the underlined word "procrastinate"?

   A. Delay. B. Produce. C. Obtain. D. Hurry.

(   ) 7. In which of the following situations the" Rush hour" will come to you more often?

   A. When you make some arrangement before the tasks begin.

   B. When you finish your jobs step by step.

   C. When you manage to solve your problem before the deadline.

   D. When you keep the easier thing halfdone for a long time.

(   ) 8. According to the passage,what does the author probably prefer to do?

   A. To leave everything undone until the last moment.

   B. To battle one rush hour after another.

   C. To finish his task whenever possible.

   D. To have an extra work more frequently.

  The little girl spoke with difficulty. She asked the clown if he brought the moon. He said he would get it,but first he wanted to know how 1        she thought the moon was. Lenore answered , " It is as big as the nail on my finger. I know this is so,because when I put my small 2      ,in front of the moon,my fingernail covers it."The clown then asked her how far away she thought the moon was. She said that it was not as high as the 3        near the window. She knew this because sometimes the moon got 4        in the top of the tree. The clown had one more question, "What do you think the moon is made of?" The princess laughed and said, "Of course,it is made of 5       .”

  The clown left Lenore and went to see the king's 6       . He made a round moon of gold,a little smaller than the fingernail of the Princess. Then he put the moon on a gold 7        so that Lenore could wear it on her neck. The clown took it to Princess Lenore. She was so 8        that she quickly got well. The next day she got out of bed and played in the garden. The king was happy,but then he began to 9       . He knew the moon that night would be bright in the sky.

The clown asked her,"How can the moon 14        in the sky when it is hanging around your neck?" She looked at him and laughed. She said, "That's a 15       question.

  As a high school coach,I did all I could to help my boys win their games. I rooted as hard for victory as they did.

  A dramatic incident,however,following a game in which I acted as a referee,changed my view on victories and defeats. I was refereeing a league championship basketball game in New Rochelle,New York,between New Rochelle and Yonkers High.

  New Rochelle was coached by Dan O'Brien,Yonkers by Les Beck. The gym was crowded to capacity,and the volume of noise made it impossible to hear. The game was well played and closely contested. Yonkers was leading by one point as T glanced at the clock and discovered there were but 30 seconds left to play.

  Yonkers,in possession of the ball,passed off―shot―missed. New Rochelle recovered―pushed the ball up court―shot. The ball rolled tantalizingly (令人着急地) around the edge of the basket and off. The fans screamed.

  New Rochelle,the home team,recovered the ball,and tapped it in for what looked like victory. The noise was deafening (震耳欲聋的) .I glanced at the clock and saw that the game was over. I hadn't heard the final buzzer (蜂鸣器) because of the noise. I checked with the other official,but he could not help me.

  Still seeking help in this confusion,I approached the timekeeper,a young man of 17 or so. He said, "Mr. Co vino,the buzzer went off as the ball rolled off the rim,before the final tapin was made."

  I was in the unenviable position of having to tell Coach O'Brien the sad news.    "Dan,”I said, "time ran out before the final basket was tapped in. Yonkers won the game."

  His face clouded over. The young timekeeper came up. He said, "I'm sorry,Dad. The time ran out before the final basket."

  Suddenly,like the sun coming out from behind a cloud,Coach O'Brien's face lit up. He said, "That's okay,Joe. You did what you had to do. I'm proud of you."

  Turning to me,he said, "Al,I want you to meet my son,Joe."

  The two of them then walked off the court together,the coach's arm around his son's shoulder.

(   ) 5. If the buzzer went off after the final basket,the result of the game would be that

   A. Yonkers won the game by one point

   B. Yonkers won the game by two points

   C. Yonkers and New Rochelle tied the game

   D. New Rochelle won the game by one point

(   ) 6. Which of the following happened first?

   A. The buzz went off.

   B. Yonkers was leading by one point.

   C. The timekeeper spoke to me.

   D. I checked with the other official.

(   ) 7. What does "I was in the unenviable position" mean?

   A. To be a referee is a tiring thing.

   B. I had to do something awkward.

   C. It was difficult to make a judgment.

   D. I made a mistake during the game.

(   ) 8. What seemed to be more important to Dan O'Brien is         .

   A. a close game   B. winning a game

   C. his friend Al   D. his son

  Do you know what Down Syndrome is? It's a disease in which an extra chromosome (染色体) causes a( n) 1       disability that makes it harder for one to learn things. When my mom first told me I had Down Syndrome,I was 2        that people would think I wasn't as smart as they were,or that I talked or looked 3        I just want to be like everyone else,so sometimes I wish I could 4        the extra chromosome.

  Having Down Syndrome,however,doesn't make me feel too different. I am 5        of who I am. I am a hard worker,a good person,and I 6        about my friends. My 7       is also a lot like yours. I read books and watch TV,and I think about the 8       ,like who I'll marry. I get along well with my sisters 9       when they take my CDs without asking！

  Sometimes it's hard being with 10        kids. For instance,I don't drive,but a lot of kids in my school do. I try not to let things like that 11        me and just think of all the good things in my life,such as the fact that I've published two 12        and right now someone else is 13        my songs.

  It's true that I don't learn things as 14        as others,but that won't stop me from 15      . I just know that if I work really hard and be myself,I can do almost 16       .

  I can't change the 17        that I have Down Syndrome,but one thing I would like to change is how people think of me. I'd tell them: 18       me as a whole person,not just the person you see. Treat me with 19       ,and accept me for who I am. Most importantly,just be my friend. 20      ,I would do the same for you.
