There are several reasons why school uniforms are a good idea. First of all, uniforms help the school look smart. The students feel that they belong to a particular group. When every pupil in the school wears the uniform, nobody 1 (have)to worry about fashion(时尚). Everybody wears 2 same style of clothes. Uniforms can be useful in unexpected ways. A school in Ireland has introduced an interesting new uniform. On the edge of the jacket, there is a piece of cloth 3 gives off light in the dark. When the children are walking or 4 (cycle) to school on dark mornings, car drivers can 5 (easy) see them.But can uniforms help improve school standards? The answer 6 this question is not clear. One study in America found that students' grades 7 (improve)a little after the school introduced uniforms. But some students didn't want 8 (wear)the uniform. Other American studies showed no 9 (connect) between uniforms and school performance.School uniforms are 10 (tradition) in Britain, but some schools are starting to get rid of them. Some very good schools don't have a uniform policy. However, uniforms are still popular. Pupils at about 90 percent of British secondary schools wear uniforms.
There are some problem areas for international students and immigrants’ studying in the United States. Making friends is a challenge (this is also true for some American students). Many college and universities offer a variety of student clubs and organizations where both foreign-born and native American students have a greater chance of meeting people with shared interests. Information about these out-of-class activities is often posted in the student center and listed in the student newspaper. Sometimes foreign students and immigrant students find Americans to be “cliquish (有派性的)”. Americans find some non-U.S.-born students to be cliquish as well. If people feel separated from the social aspects of American college life, they should actively seek people with shared interests. It is unlikely that students will make friends just by passing people on the campus. Foreign or immigrant students may feel confused during the first few weeks at a new school because they do not understand the system and are not willing to ask questions. Many students do not take advantage of the numerous services offered on campus that assist students in developing new skills and social groups. Some colleges offer students tutorial (辅导的) support in such subjects as writing, language study, computer skills, and other basic subjects. Students who appear to be most successful in "learning the ropes" are those who can solve problems by taking the initiative to ask questions, locate resources, and experience new social situations.【小题1】In the United States, students can find friends with the same interests by______A.passing people on the campusB.reading the student newspaperC.joining the student clubsD.visiting the student center【小题2】The sentence “people feel separated from the social aspects of American college life” (Line 7,Para. l) means they have difficulty in______.A.communicating with others on the campusB.being easily accepted by the universityC.finding people with shared interestsD.getting a job in American society【小题3】When they first come to college, some foreign students may feel confused because______.A.they are denied any help from people aroundB.they are provided with few servicesC.they are faced with an unfamiliar educational systemD.they are unwilling to adapt themselves to the new environment【小题4】The phrase “learning the ropes” (Line 6, Para. 2) is closest in meaning to ______A.finding the way to develop new skillsB.having the skills to make conversationsC.learning how to answer questionsD.knowing how to handle problems【小题5】From the passage we may conclude that foreign students______.A.are unlikely to be successful in American college lifeB.may face some problems in adjusting to American college lifeC.are not good at developing friendship and social groupsD.can hardly learn well when they enter an American college

Few ideas from social science have dug their way into the public imagination like Dunbar's Number, the famous finding that we humans can't cope with a social circle much larger than 150 people. It's little surprise that this idea has proven captivating because it seems so true in wildly different contexts. The average size of modern hunter-gatherer communities, it's been calculated, is 148. The average size of army companies through history, from the Romans to the USSR, hovers around And the average number of people to whom Britons send Christmas cards, according to a 2003 study, is 153. No wonder so many panic-merchants worry that online social networks will destroy society. To accumulate 1,000 online social network friends, Dunbar's Number suggests, is to violate a law as old as humanity itself. The good news is that, judging by research, the panic merchants are wrong: social networks don't replace offline friendships, turning users into people unable to converse face-to-face. Nonetheless, Dunbar's work does suggest something troubling about modern friendship. For centuries – and especially since the Industrial Revolution – we've been uprooting ourselves from the communities in which we were born. Until recently, on arriving in a new place, you'd inevitably lose your ties with the one you'd left; you'd be forced to invest fully in a new social circle. These days, however, thanks to motorways and airliners, e-mail and online social apps, you need never cut those ties. You never leave your old life behind, so your emotional investments are scattered. One consequence is that the people in your circle of 150 are far less likely to know each other. Or, as Dunbar writes, "Our social networks are no longer as densely interconnected as they once were." Anyone who's ever fled small-town life might feel relieved in some way. After all, "dense interconnectedness" in small villages could mean that there are always people who are snooping (窥探)on your business. Yet it turns out that when close friends know each other, good things happen. For example, Dunbar's research shows that people are more altruistic (利他主义的)towards each other in dense social networks. Why are densely-linked friends better friends? The reason may be that in a dense network an act of friendship is two things at once: an expression of an individual bond, and another stitch in a bigger social fabric. Now you've got a good reason to introduce your friends to each other. True, they'll probably gossip about you at some point, but then that strengthens the social fabric, too. 1)According to the passage, Dunbar's Number is__________. A. a method to calculate the average size of modern human communitiesB. a public opinion on the potential influence of online social networksC. a theory that states the limit of the size of one's social circleD. a scientific concept that once influenced human society in history 2)The word "panic-merchants" (Para. 1)refers to people__________.A. who have an intense fear of meeting others through online social networksB. who capitalize on people's worry about the impact of big online social networks on societyC. who are afraid of the lack of privacy on social networking websitesD. who disbelieve the power of densely connected social networks 3)What is the trouble with modern friendship according to the passage?A. People tend to have more scattered social networks than before.B. People have denser social networks thanks to online social apps.C. People feel it easier to lose their ties with those they had left behind.D. People find it hard to make real friends through online social networking. 4)According to the author, one bad thing about a dense social network is that__________.A. one's business is hard to developB. one's privacy can be easily invadedC. one has few chances to meet new friendsD. one has to cut ties with friends in distant places 5)What is the author's overall attitude toward dense social networks?A.

The increase in international business and in foreign investment has created a need for executives with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. Americans, however, have not been well trained in either area and, consequently, have not enjoyed the same level of success in negotiation in an international arena as have their foreign counterparts. Negotiating is the process of communicating back and forth for the purpose of reaching an agreement. It involves persuasion and compromise, but in order to participate in either one, the negotiators must understand the ways in which people are persuaded and how compromise is reached within the culture of the negotiation. In many international business negotiations abroad, Americans are perceived as wealthy and impersonal. It often appears to the foreign negotiator that the American represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation that can afford to pay the price without bargaining further. The American negotiator’s role becomes that of an impersonal supplier of information and cash. In studies of American negotiators abroad, several traits have been identified that may serve to confirm this stereotypical perception, while undermining the negotiator’s position. Two traits in particular that cause cross-cultural misunderstanding are directness and impatience on the part of the American negotiator. Furthermore, American negotiators often insist on realizing short-term goals. Foreign negotiators, on the other hand, may value the relationship established between negotiators and may be willing to invest time in it for long-term benefits. In order to solidify the relationship, they may opt for indirect interactions without regard for the time involved in getting to know the other negotiator. Clearly, perceptions and differences in values affect the outcomes of negotiations and the success of negotiators. For Americans to play a more effective role in international business negotiations, they must put forth more effort to improve cross-cultural understanding. [共5题](1)What kind of manager is needed in present international business and foreign investment? [本题2分]A. The man who represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation. B. The man with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. C. The man who is wealthy and impersonal. D. The man who can negotiate with his foreign counterparts.

"There is a senseless concept that children grow up and leave home when they're 18,and the truth is far from that,"says sociologist Larry Bumpass of the University of Wisconsin.Today,unexpected numbers of young adults are living with their parents."There is a major change in the middle class,"declares sociologist Allan Schnaiberg of Northwestern University,whose son,19,moved back in after an absence of eight months.Analysts list a variety of reasons for this return to the nest.The marriage age is rising,a condition that makes home and its pleasantness particularly attractive to young people.A high divorce rate and a declining remarriage rate are sending economically pressed and emotionally hurt survivors back to parental shelters.For some,the expense of an away-from-home college education has become so extremely great that many students now attend local schools.Even after graduation,young people find their wings clipped(夹住) by skyrocketing housing costs.Living at home,says Knighton,a school teacher,continues to give her security and moral support.Her mother agreed,"It's ridiculous for the kids to pay all that money for rent.It makes sense for kids to stay at home."But sharing the family home requires adjustments for all.There are the hassles over bathrooms,telephones and privacy.Some families,however,manage the delicate balancing act.But for others,it proves too difficult.Michelle Del Turco,24,has been home three times-and left three times."What I considered a social drink,my dad considered an alcohol problem,"she explains."He never liked anyone I dated,so I either had to hide away or meet them at friends'houses."Just how long should adult children live with their parents before moving on?Most psychologists feel lengthy homecomings are a mistake.Children struggling to establish separate identities,can end up with"a sense of inadequacy,defeat and failure."And aging parents,who should be enjoying some financial and personal freedom,find themselves stuck with responsibilities.Many agree that brief visits,however,can work beneficially.63.According to the author,there was once a trend (趋势) in the U.S ____ .A.for middle class young adults to stay with their parents.B.for young adults to get jobs nearby in order to live with their parents.C.for married young adults to move back home after a lengthy absence.D.for young adults to leave their parents and live independently.64.Which of the following does not account for young adults returning to the nest? ____ A.Young adults find housing costs too high.B.Quite a number of young adults attend local schools.C.Young adults are psychologically and intellectually immature.D.Young adults seek parental comfort and moral support.65.One of the disadvantages of young adults returning to stay with their parents is that ____ .A.the young adults tend to be overprotected by their parentsB.there will unavoidably be inconveniences in everyday lifeC.most parents find it difficult to keep a bigger family goingD.public opinion is against young adults staying with their parents66.The word"hassles"in the passage (Para.3,Line 4)probably means ____ .A.agreementsB.worriesC.disadvantagesD.quarrels
