  When I was sixteen years old, I made my first visit to the United States.It wasn't the first time I had been abroad.Like most English children, I learned French at school.And I had often been to France, so I was used to(习惯于)speaking a foreign language to people who didn't understand French.But when I went to America I was really looking forward to having a nice easy holiday without any language problem.

  How wrong I was! The misunderstanding began at the airport.I was looking for a public telephone to give my American friend Danny a call and tell her that I had arrived.A friendly old man saw me looking lost and asked if he could help me.

  “Yes”, I said,“I want to give my friend a ring.”

  “Well, that's nice,”he said,“Are you getting married? But aren't you a bit young?”

  “Who is talking about marriage?”I replied.“I only want to give my friend a ring to tell her I've arrived.Can you tell me where there is a phone box?”“Oh,”he said,“There is a phone downstairs.”When at last we met, Danny explained the misunderstanding to me.“Don't worry,”he said to me.“I had so many difficulties at first.There are lots of words which American use differently in meaning from British.You'll soon get used to all the funny things they say.Most of the time, British and American people understand each other!”

  “If you want to see a thing well, reach out(伸出手)and touch it!”

That may seem a strange thing to say. But touching things can help you to see them better. Your eyes can tell you that a glass ball is round. But by holding it in your hands, you can feel how smooth(光滑)and cool the ball is. You can feel how heavy the glass is. When you feel all these about the ball, you really see it. With your skin, you can feel better. For example, your fingers can tell the difference between two coins(硬币)in your pocket. You can feel a little drop of water on the back of your hand, too.

All children soon learn what “Don’t touch!” means. They hear it often. Yet most of us keep on touching things as we grow up. In shops, we touch things as we might buy: food, clothes. To see something well, we have to touch it.

There are ways of learning to see well by feeling. One way is to close your eyes and try to feel everything that touching your skin. Feel the shoes on your feet, the clothes on your body, the air on your skin. At first, it is not easy to feel these things. You are too used to(习惯于)them!

Most museums are just for looking. But today some museums have some things to touch. Their signs say, “Do touch!” There you can feel everything on show. If we want to see better, reach out and touch. Then you will really see!

71. By touching things, ______.

A. you will have a strange feeling  

B. you will learn how to reach out your hand

C. you can tell the difference of the things

D. you can tell what colours they are

72. When people buy things in shops, they often _______.

A. try them on first    B. keep their right hands on them

C. ask about them    D. feel and touch them

73. Why does it say “At first, it is not easy to feel these things”? Because _______.

A. the things are used by people, too    B. people feel the things too often

C. people know how to use the things    D. the things are easy to feel

74. Which of the following is true?

A. Touching is more important than seeing

B. Our feet, fingers, hands and skin can help us buy food.

C. People have to learn to see by feeling as they grow up.

D. Visitors can feel the things on show in some museums.

75. Which of the following can be the best title of the story?

A. Touching by Feeling.                  B. To See or to Feel?

C. To See Better—Feel.                  D. Ways of Feeling.

  Social change is more likely to occur in societies where there is a mixture of different kinds of people than in societies where people are similar in many ways.The simple reason for this is that there are more different ways of looking at things present in the first kind of society.There are more ideas, more disagreements in interest, and more groups and organizations with different beliefs.In addition(此外), there is usually a greater worldly interest and greater tolerance(容忍)in mixed societies.All these factors tend to promote social change by opening more areas of life to decision.In a society where people are quite similar in many ways, there are fewer occasions for people to see the need or the opportunity(机会)for change because everything seems to be the same.And although conditions may not be satisfactory, they are at least customary and undisputed(明白的).

  Within a society, social change is also likely to occur more frequently and more readily in the material aspects(方面)of the culture than in the non-material, for example, in technology rather than in values; in what has been learned later in life rather than what was learned early, in the less basic and less emotional aspects of society rather than in their opposites; in the simple elements rather than in the complex(复杂的) ones; form rather than in substance(物质); and in elements(元素)that are acceptable to the culture rather than in strange elements.

  Furthermore, social change is easier if it is gradual.For example, it comes more readily in human relations on a continuous scale(规模)rather than one with sharp dichotomies(一分成).This is one reason why change has not come more quickly to Black Americans as compared to other American minorities, because of the sharp difference in appearance between them and their white counterparts.

[  ]

C.

D.

Social change is less likely to occur in what people learned when they were young.

(3)

Social change is less likely to occur in a society where people are quite similar in many ways because ________.

[  ]

A.

people there have got so accustomed(习惯于)to their conditions that they seldom think it necessary to change

B.
