He said, “I am going to give this $20 to one of you, but first, let me do this.” He crumpled(弄皱) the 20 dollar note up. He then asked, “Who still wants it?” Still the 39 were up in the air. “Well,” he replied, “what if I do this?” He 40 it onto the ground and started to grind(碾) it into the floor 41 his shoe. He 42 it up, now crumpled and dirty. “Now, who still wants it?” Still the hands went into the air. “My friends, you have all learned a very valuable 43 . No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it stayed the same in 44 . It was still worth $20.”
“Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we 45 and the circumstances that come on our way.

Exchange a glance with someone, and then look away. Do you realize that you have made a statement? Hold the glance for a second longer and you have made a different statement. Hold it for 3 seconds, and the meaning has changed again. For every social situation, there is a permissible time that you can hold a person’s stare without being friendly, rude, or aggressive. If you are on a lift, what stare-time are you permitted? To answer this question, consider what you typically do. You very likely give other passengers a quick glance to size them up and to assure them that you mean no harm. Since being close to another person signals the possibility of interaction, you need to send out a signal telling others you want to be left alone. So you cut off eye contacts. That is what sociologist Erving Goffiman calls “a dimming of the lights”. You look down at the floor, at the indicator lights, anywhere but into another passenger’s eyes. Should you break the rule against staring at a stranger on a lift, you will make the other person extremely uncomfortable, and you are likely to feel a bit strange yourself.
If you hold eye contacts for more than 3 seconds, what are you telling another person? Much depends on the person and the situation. For instance, a man and a woman communicate interest in this manner. They stare at each other for about 3 seconds at a time, and then drop their eyes down for 3 seconds, before letting their eyes meet again. But if one man gives another man a 3-second-plus stare, he signals, “I know you”, “I am interested in you” or “You look peculiar and I am curious about you.” This type of stare often produces hostile feelings.
60. It can be inferred from the first paragraph that ______.
A. every glance has its significance
B. a glance carries more meaning than words
C. a stare longer than 3 seconds is unacceptable
D. staring at a person is an expression of interest
61. If you want to be left alone on a lift the best thing to do is ______.
A. to look into another passenger’s eyes
B. to keep a distance from other passengers
C. to avoid eye contacts with other passengers
D. to signal you don’t mean to do harm to anyone
62. By “a dimming of the lights”, Erving Goffiman means ______.
A. closing one’s eyes B. turning off the lights
C. stopping glancing at others D. reducing stare-time to the minimum
63. The passage mainly discusses ______.
A. the limitations of eye contacts
B. the exchange of ideas through eye contacts
C. proper behavior in different situations in people’s daily life
D. the role of eye contacts in communication between people
查看习题详情和答案>>Sports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature. However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment.
Some sports are resource-hungry. Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses（球场） in good condition. This causes major environmental effects. For example, in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas.
There are many environment-friendly sports. Power walking is one of them that you could take up today. You don’t need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and you don’t have to worry about resources and your purse. Simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit. If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and have better weight control.
Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials. But the final goal should be “green gyms”. They are better replacements for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces. There is no special requirement for you to start your membership. And best of all, it’s free.
