Silence is unnatural to man．He begins life with a cry and ends it in stillness．In between he does all he can to make a noise in the world, and he fears silence more than anything else．Even his conversation is an attempt to prevent a fearful silence．If he is introduced to another person, and a number of pauses occur in the conversation, he regards himself as a failure, a worthless person, and is full of envy of the emptiest headed chatterbox （喋喋不休的人）．He knows that ninety-nine percent of human conversation means no more than the buzzing of a fly, but he is anxious to join in the buzz and to prove that he is a man and not a waxwork figure （蜡塑人像）．

The aim of conversation is not, for the most part, to communicate ideas; it is to keep up the buzzing sound．There are, it must be admitted, different qualities of buzz; there is even a buzz that is as annoying as the continuous noise made by a mosquito （蚊子）．But at a dinner party one would rather be a mosquito than a quiet person．Most buzzing, fortunately, is pleasant to the ear, and some of it is pleasant even to the mind．He would be a foolish man if he waited until he had a wise thought to take part in the buzzing -with his neighbors．

Those who hate to pick up the weather as a conversational opening seem to me not to know the reason why human beings wish 1:0 talk．Very few human beings join in a conversation in the hope of learning anything new．Some of them are content ．if they are merely allowed to go on making a noise into other people's ears, though they have nothing to tell them except that they have seen two or three new, plays or that they had food in a Swiss hotel．At the end of an evening during which they have said nothing meaningful for a long time, they just prove themselves to be successful conservationists．

1.According to the author, people make conversation to .

A．exchange ideas B．prove their value

C．achieve success m life D．overcome their fear of silence

2.By "the buzzing of a fly" （Para．1）, the author means"_____".

A．the noise of an insect B．a low whispering sound

C．meaningless talks D．the voice of a chatterbox

3.According to the passage, people usually talk to their neighbors___ ．

A．about whatever they have prepared

B．about whatever they want to

C．in the hope of learning something new

D．in the hope of getting on well

4.What is the author's purpose in writing the passage?

A．To discuss why people like talking about weather．

B．To encourage people to join in conversations．

C．To persuade people to stop making noises．

D．To explain why people keep talking．

My friend John always has something to tell me. He knows so much that 21 men have to have older and more worldly wise men to tell them, 22 , who to trust, how to care for others and how to live life 23 the fullest.

Recently, John lost his 24 Janet. For eight years she fought against cancer, but in the end her sickness had the last 25 . One day John took out a folded piece of 26 from his wallet. He had found it, so he told me, when he 27 up some drawers at home.

It was a 28 love letter Janet had written. The note could look like a school girl’s scrawls(潦草地写，乱涂) about her dream guy. 29 the letter was written by a woman who had had seven children, a woman who fought for her life and who 30 only had a few months left to live.

It was 31 a beautiful recipe (处方，食谱) for how to keep a marriage together. Janet’s 32 of her husband begins like this, “Loved me. Took care of me. Worried about me.”

“Helped me when I was ill.” The next 33 reads. After that she turned 34 the paper and added “Warmth. Humor. Kindness. Thoughtfulness.” And then she writes about the husband she has 35 with and loved most in her life. “ 36 there when I needed you.” The last words she wrote 37 all the others. I can see her for me when she added thoughtfully “Good friend.”

I stand beside John now, and cannot pretend to know how it feels to lose someone who is as close to 38 as Janet was to him. I need to 39 what he has to say much more than he needs to talk.

“John,” I ask. “How do you stick together with someone through 38 years—not to mention the sickness? How do I know 40 I can bear to stand by my wife’s side if she becomes sick one day?”

“You can.” he says quietly, “ If you love her enough, you can.”

1.A. old B. wise C. young D. foolish

3.A. in B. to C. at D. for

4.A. friend B. colleague C. wife D. sister

8.A. small B. long C. descriptive D. talkative

9.A. So B. But C. And D. While

10.A. probably B. surely C. certainly D. definitely

11.A. only B. firstly C. lastly D. also

12.A. imagination B. description C. dream D. expectation

13.A. letter B. note C. line D. paragraph

14.A. away B. down C. off D. over

15. A. lived B. dealt C. quarreled D. argued

16.A. Constantly B. Always C. Never D. Seldom

17.A. take the place of B. get rid of C. take away D. sum up

18.A. me B. Janet C. John D. you

19.A. speak up B. repeat C. discuss D. hear

20.A. why B. where C. if D. when
