20．Proxemics （空间关系学） is the study of what governs how closely one person stands to another．People who feel close will be close，though the actual distances will vary between cultures．For Americans we can detect four main categories of distance：intimate （亲密的），personal，social and public．Intimate ranges from direct contact to about 45 centimeters．This is for the closest relationships such as those between husband and wife．Beyond this comes personal distance．This stands at between 45 and 80 centimeters．It is the most usual distance maintained for conversations between friends and relatives．Social distance covers people who work together or are meeting at social gatherings．Distances here tend to be kept between 1.30 to 2 meters．Beyond this comes public distance，such as that between a lecturer and his audience．
All cultures draw lines between what is an appropriate and what is an inappropriate social distance for different types of relationship．They differ，however，in where they draw these lines．Look at an international reception with representatives from the US and Arabic countries talking and you will see the Americans pirouetting （快速旋转） backwards around the hall pursued by their Arab partners．The Americans will be trying to keep the distance between themselves and their partners which they have grown used to regarding as"normal"．They probably will not even notice themselves trying to adjust the distance between themselves and their partners，though they may have vague feeling that their Arab neighbors are being a bit"pushy"．The Arab，on the other hand，coming from a culture where much closer distance is the pattern，may be feeling that the Americans are being"stand-offish"．Finding themselves happier standing close to and even touching those they are in conversation with they will persistently pursue the Americans round the room trying to close the distance between them．
The appropriateness of physical contact varies between different cultures too．One study of the number of times people talking in coffee shops over a one-hour period showed the following interesting variations：London，0； Florida，2； Paris，10； and Puerto Rico 180．Not only does it vary between societies，however，it also varies between different subcultures within one society．Young people in Britain，for example，are more likely to touch and hug friends than are the older generation．This may be partly a matter of growing older，but it also reflects the fact that the older generation grew up at a time when touching was less common for all age groups．Forty years ago，for example，footballers would never hug and kiss one another on the field after a goal as they do today．

78．What govern the standing space between two persons in proxemics？Relationships
79．The underlined word"stand-offish"in Paragraph 2 most probably means"cold/distant/keeping others at arm's length/not easily getting along"．
80．Why may Arabs pursue Americans in a conversation at an international reception？
Because they try to close the distance between them
81．What can be inferred from the last paragraph is that the appropriateness of physical contact also varies withtime．

分析 本文主要论述了在不同文化里对空间关系学的不同理解和认知．

解答 78．Relationships （do）．细节概括题． 第一段介绍了Proxemics 的定义，即人和人之间的关系是有距离决定的，紧接着拿美国人的四种关系作为例子，来说明人和人之间的距离主要靠双方的关系来支配，即relationships govern the standing space between two persons in proxemics．
79．cold/distant/keeping others at arm's length/not easily getting along 猜测词意题．第二段主题句为All cultures draw lines between what is an appropriate and what is an inappropriate social distance for different types of relationship．不同文化对于双方的距离是不一样的．举例美国人和阿拉伯人，可以看出美国人比较注重双方的举例，而阿拉伯人则喜欢和人靠近．所以在阿拉伯人眼中，美国人"stand-offish"意味着冷漠，不友好．
80．Because they try to close the distance between them．/Because they regard much closer distance as the pattern/appropriate．/Because they feel they are happier being close to them．细节理解题．在第二段里，主要列举了美国人和阿拉伯人对待人和人之间距离的不同认识．在交流中，阿拉伯人认为双方近距离是一种友好也是一种恰当的表达方式．
81．time/the times  细节理解题．最后一段主题句The appropriateness of physical contact varies between different cultures too，意思是恰当的肢体接触也随着时间而变化．然后从London，Florida，Paris，and Puerto Rico 等国家作为例子来具体说明时间可以改变．故用time/the times  来概括．

15．The World Health Organization （WHO） has declared the spread of mosquito-born Zika virus a global public health emergency．On Monday，the global health agency held an emergency meeting in Geneva after warning the public that Zika is spreading"explosively"across the Americas．Dr．Margaret Chan，the director-general of the WHO，said after the meeting that the cases of microcephaly，which is a birth disease in which babies are born with very small heads and underdeveloped brains，in regions with Zika cases，"become an extraordinary event and a public health threat to other parts of the world．"
Last week，health officials confirmed one case of the virus in Denmark，five in Great Britain，three cases in the United States and 18in its territory of Puerto Rico．The global health organization also predicts that Zika could infect as many as four million people in the Americas this year．
The symptoms from the virus are minor．The symptoms are flu-like and include a rash （皮疹）．But the results for some infected with Zika--namely pregnant women--are destructive．The WHO suspects the virus may have something to do with brain disorders in babies．Health experts highly suspect there may be a link between the illness and microcephaly．However，a definite link between Zika and microcephaly has not been proven．
World Health Organization spokesman Gregory Hartl has this to say，"So，one of the curiosities is why we have so many neurological （神经学的） cases in the northeast of Brazil，but we have not had it in other places．So，we really need to understand what is existing that causes these microcephaly cases，for example，in children．"
Hartl does not agree with claims that the Zika virus could lead to a threat similar to that of Ebola （埃博拉病毒）．He says that Ebola is transmitted by contact with bodily fluids （体液） from person to person and kills about 50percent of its victims．"Zika has never killed a person and it is transmitted by the mosquito．So，we know that there are those two basic differences at least．Let us say that Zika on its own would not be the consideration of an emergency committee．What is the concern to the international community is the possible link with neurological disorders．"

5．Although many companies offer tuition reimbursement（偿付），most companies reimburse employees only for classes that are relevant to their positions．This is a very limiting policy．A company that reimburses employees for all college credit course-whether job related or not-offers a service onot only to the employees，but to the entire company．
One good reason for giving employees unconditional tuition reimbursement is that it shows the company's dedication to its employees．In today's economy，where job security is a thing of the past and employees feel more and more expendable，it is important for a company to demonstrate to its employees that it cares．The best way to do this is to make investments in them．
In return，this dedication to the betterment of company employees will create greater employee loyalty．A company that puts out funds to pay for the education of its employees will get its money back by having employees stay with the company longer．It will reduce employ turnover（流动），because even employees who don't take advantage of tuition reimbursement program will be more loyal to their company，just knowing that their company cares enough to pay their education．
Most importantly，the company that has an unrestricted tuition reimbursement program will have higher quality employees．Although these companies do indeed run the risk of losing money on employees who go on to another job in a different company as soon as they get their degree，more often than not，the employees will stay with the company．And even if employees do leave after graduation，it generally takes several years to complete any degree program．Thus，even if the employee leaves upon graduating，throughout those years，the employer will have a more sophisticated，more intelligent，and therefore more valuable and productive employee．And，if the employee stays，that education will doubly benefit the company：Not only is the employee more educated，but now that employee can be promoted so the company doesn't have to fill a high-level vacancy from the outside．Open positions can be filled by people who already know the company well．
Though unconditional tuition reimbursement requires a significant investment on the employer's part，it is perhaps one of the wisest investments a company can make．
