He worked in a factory and every day he got a little money. Hard work made him thin and weak. He wanted to borrow a lot of money to learn to paint

22、 pictures, but he did not think he could pay off the debts. One day a lawyer said to him, “One thousand dollars, and here is the money.” As Hobbs took the package of notes, he was very dumbfounded. He didnt know where the money came from and how to spend it. He said to himself, “I could go to find a

23、 hotel and live like a rich man for a few days; or I give up my work in the factory and do what Id like to do: painting pictures. I could do that for a few weeks, but what would I do after that?

28、 He was from the USA. He was born in 1835. He was also a famous speaker. He was famous for his sense of humour. Many people liked to listen to him talk because he liked to tell some interesting stories to make people laugh all the time. One day Mark Twain was going to a small town because of his wri

29、ting. Before he was going to leave, one of his friends said to him that there were always a lot of mosquitoes in the town and told him that hed better not go there. Mark Twain waved (摇动) his hand and said, “It doesnt matter. The mosquitoes are no relatives of mine. I dont think they will come to vis

30、it me.” After he arrived at the town, Mark Twain stayed in a small hotel near the station. He went into his room, but when he was just about to have a rest, quite a few mosquitoes flew about him. The waiters felt very sorry about that. “Im very sorry, Mr Mark Twain. There are too many mosquitoes in

31、our town.” One of them said to him. Mark Twain, however, made a joke, saying to the waiter, “The mosquitoes are very clever. They know my room number. They didnt come into the wrong room.” What he said made all the people present laugh heartily. But that night Mark Twain slept well. Do you know why?

32、 That was because all the waiters in the hotel were driving the mosquitoes away for him during the whole night. 55. That day Mark Twain went to the town _.

From the beginning, people may send the wrong signals(信号). Or they may pay no attention to signals f

36、rom another person who is trying to develop a relationship.Different cultures emphasize(强调) the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree. For example, business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust. Even with people at work, it is necessary

37、 to spend a lot of time in “small talk”, usually over a glass of tea, before they do any job. In many European countrieslike the UK or Francepeople find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafes rather than at the office. Talk and silence may also be different in s

38、ome cultures. I once made a speech in Thailand. I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion; instead there was an uncomfortable silence. The people present just stared at me and smiled. After getting to know their ways better, I realized that they thought I was talking too

39、 much. In my own culture, we express meaning mainly through words, but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary. Even within Northern Europe, cultural differences can cause serious problems. Certainly, English and German cultures share similar values; Germans prefer to get down to

40、business more quickly. We think that they are rude. In fact, this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly. People from different parts of the world have different values, and sometimes these values are quite against each other. However, if we can understand th

41、em better, a multicultural environment(多元文化环境) will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other,59.

44、nd Each Other D. How to Build up a Relationship D Weather changes when the temperature and the amount of water in the atmosphere changes. We can see and feel water coming from the atmosphere when we have rain. But the water must somehow get back to the atmosphere. Meteorologists call this the water

45、cycle.There are many stages in the water cycle. Rain falls when water vapor in clouds condenses(凝结). Drops of water form and fall to the ground. The water soaks into the ground and feeds steams and rivers. A lot of rain falls into the sea. The heat of the sun evaporates some of the water in the grou

46、nd and in the rivers, lakes, and the sea. It changes the liquid water into water vapor. The vapor rises onto the air. Water vapor is normally invisible. On a very damp or humid day, however, you can sometimes see water vapor rising from a puddle(水坑) or pond in a mist(薄雾)above the water. Water vapor

47、also gets into the air from living things. Trees and other plants take in water through their roots and give off water vapor from their leaves. People and land animals drink water and breathe out water vapor. In all these ways the water returns to the air. There it gathers to form clouds and condens

48、es to form rain. The rain falls to earth, and the cycle starts again. It continues even if snow or hail(冰雹) fall instead because both eventually melt to form water. The amount of water vapor in the air depends on the temperature. The air is more moist(潮湿)in the tropics(热带) than in the cold polar reg

The two children take the bus to school, and the mother stays at home cooking an

52、d cleaning until the father and the kids come home in the evening. This is the traditional picture of a happy family living in Britain, but is it true today?The answer is no! The past 20 years have seen many changes in the lives and structures of families in Britain.The biggest change has been cause

53、d by divorce （离婚）. The large rise in divorce has meant many women need to work to support themselves and their children. Even where there is no divorce, many families need both parents to work in order to survive. This has caused an increase in childcare facilities （设备）, though they are very expensi

54、ve and can be difficult to find in many areas.In addition, women are no longer happy to stay at home raising children, and many have careers earning as much or even more than men, which is much different from the traditional way.However, these changes have not had a totally negative （负面的） effect. Fo

55、r women, it is now much easier to have a career and good pay. Although it is difficult to be a working mother, it has become normal and is no longer seen as a bad thing for the children.As for the children themselves, some argue that modern children are growing up to be more independent than in the

56、past, and get along well with others. From an early age they have to go to kindergarten, so they are used to dealing with strangers and other children.67.
