In China it is relatively usual to ask people their age, but in the West this question is generally regarded as impolite. This is particularly true ___11___ women, and even more so if the inquirer is a man. However, it is very ___12___ to ask children their age, and some adults may not mind being asked either. In fact, some elderly people are quite happy to ___13___ their age, especially if they feel they look young for their age. Nevertheless, it is not very wise to ask a direct question like “How old are you?”. If elderly people want to talk about their age, they may easily ___14___ the topic themselves, and ask the other person to guess how old they are . They normally expect to be complimented on their youthfulness, though rather than ___15___ that they look very old. Even though Westerners do not usually ask people directly how old they are, this does not ___16___ that they are not interested to know how old other people are. They may ask ___17___ for the information, or else they may try to ___18___ the topic indirectly. Sometimes discussions about educational ___19___ and the number of years of working experience may provide some clues, but this is not always the ___20___.
在中国，问别人的年龄是比较常见的，但在西方，这个问题通常被认为是不礼貌的。这一点对女性尤其正确，如果询问者是男性，情况就更是如此。然而，问孩子们的年龄是非常不明智的，有些成年人可能也不介意被问。事实上，有些老年人很乐意透露自己的年龄，特别是当他们觉得自己看起来比实际年龄年轻的时候。然而，直接问“你多大了？”这样的问题并不明智。如果老年人想谈论他们的年龄，他们可以很容易地自己转移话题，让对方猜他们的年龄。他们通常希望别人称赞他们年轻，而不是说他们看起来很老。尽管西方人通常不直接问别人多大，但这并不意味着他们不想知道别人多大。 他们可能会问__17_信息，否则他们可能会试图_18_间接的主题。有时，关于教育程度和工作经验的讨论可能会提供一些线索，但这并不总是最重要的。

3.阅读理解题
3.110
Parents can have a great impact on the development of their children’s creativity in art. But first，they have to know how. They may find the following advice interesting and instructive. Encourage free drawing rather than coloring books. Coloring books stop the possibility of self-expression. A child may just enjoy colorful pictures and never learn how to express himself. As an art teacher says，“Children have a very powerful instinct to draw freely and roughly. Such practice makes them learn language easily.” In fact，a child expresses himself in rough drawing. This is the beginning of literacy and creativity. Also，parents should not teach their kids “how” to draw and they should not make their kids draw realistic pictures to entertain themselves. Experience tells us that such teaching from the parents will discourage children，making them think they can’t do it the “right” way. Competition and rewards should also be avoided in the process of artistic creation. A child’s natural instinct to create will disappear if he or she thinks about prize while drawing. Parents should be role models for their kids. They should not say things like, “I can’t draw a straight line.” Instead，they should learn to say，“I love to create”. This teaches children that the process of creation is more important than the product. If children see their parents drawing, cooking or building creatively，they wi11 do the same. Buy a notebook for your child to use every day. This can be a journal for making up stories，writing ideas and drawing pictures. Even the youngest child can use it to draw freely and roughly，expressing himself. Take your child to places that promote ideas and creativity. Art museums, science centers，libraries and children’s museums all are great places to see other people’s creativity. That will inspire children to make their own creations and inventions. Give children choices and free time. Some of the best ideas come from daydreaming and imagining. In short，parents should allow their kids to have the freedom to invent for themselves. That means not always teaching and commanding.
父母可以对孩子艺术创造力的发展产生很大的影响，但首先，他们必须知道如何影响。他们可能会觉得以下建议很有趣，也很有启发性。鼓励自由绘画，而不是涂色书。彩色书阻止了自我表达的可能性。一个孩子可能只是喜欢五颜六色的图片，从来没有学会如何表达自己。正如一位美术老师所说：“孩子们有一种非常强大的本能，喜欢自由而粗略地画画。这样的练习使他们更容易学习语言。”事实上，一个孩子在粗糙的绘画中表达自己。这是识字和创造力的开始。此外，父母不应该教他们的孩子“如何”画，他们不应该让他们的孩子画现实的图片来娱乐自己。经验告诉我们，父母这样教导孩子，会使他们泄气，认为自己做不到“正确”的方式。在艺术创作过程中也要避免竞争和奖励。 如果一个孩子在画画的时候想到奖品，他或她天生的创造本能就会消失。父母应该成为孩子的榜样。他们不应该说这样的话，“我不能画一条直线。”相反，他们应该学会说，“我喜欢创造”。这告诉孩子们，创造的过程比产品更重要。如果孩子们看到他们的父母在画画、做饭或创造性地建造东西，他们也会做同样的事情。给孩子买一台笔记本每天使用。这可以是一本日记，用来编故事，写想法和画画。即使是最小的孩子也可以用它来自由和粗略地绘画，表达自己。带你的孩子去那些能促进想法和创造力的地方。艺术博物馆、科学中心、图书馆和儿童博物馆都是欣赏他人创造力的好地方。这将激发孩子们做出自己的创造和发明。给孩子自由选择和时间。一些最好的想法来自于白日梦和想象。 简而言之，父母应该允许他们的孩子有为自己发明的自由。这意味着不要总是教导和指挥。

Believe it or not，optical illusion (错觉) can cut highway crashes. Japan is a case in point. It has reduced automobile crashes on some roads by nearly 75 percent using a simple optical illusion. Bent stripes，called chevrons (人字形), painted on the roads make drivers think that they are driving faster than they really are，and thus drivers slow down. Now the American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety in Washington D.C. is planning to repeat Japan's success. Starting next year, the foundation will paint chevrons and other patterns of stripes on selected roads around the country to test how well the patterns reduce highway crashes. Excessive speed plays a major role in as much as one fifth of all fatal traffic accidents, according to the foundation. To help reduce those accidents，the foundation will conduct its tests in areas where speed - related hazards are the greatest - curves，exit slopes，traffic circles，and bridges. Some studies suggest that straight，horizontal bars painted across roads can initially cut the average speed of drivers in half. However，traffic often returns to full speed within months as drivers become used to seeing the painted bars. Chevrons，scientists say，not only give drivers the impression that they are driving faster than they really are but also make a lane appear to be narrower. The result is a longer lasting reduction in highway speed and the number of traffic accidents.
信不信由你，光学错觉（错觉）可以减少高速公路撞车事故。日本就是一个很好的例子。它使用一种简单的视觉错觉，将一些道路上的车祸减少了近75%。画在路上的弯曲条纹，称为人字形，使司机认为他们开得比实际快，因此司机减速。现在，位于华盛顿的美国汽车协会交通安全基金会正计划复制日本的成功。从明年开始，该基金会将在全国选定的道路上绘制人字形和其他条纹图案，以测试这些图案在减少高速公路事故方面的效果。据该基金会称，超速在所有致命交通事故中占五分之一。为了帮助减少这些事故，该基金会将在与速度有关的危险最大的地区进行测试-曲线，出口斜坡，交通圈和桥梁。 一些研究表明，画在道路上的直的、水平的横条最初可以把司机的平均速度降低一半。然而，随着司机们习惯于看到彩绘的酒吧，交通经常在几个月内恢复全速行驶。科学家们说，V形不仅给司机一种他们开得比实际快的印象，而且会使车道看起来更窄。其结果是更持久地降低高速公路速度和交通事故数量。

In a family where the roles of men and women are not sharply separated and where many household tasks are shared to a greater or lesser extent, notions of male superiority are hard to maintain. The pattern of sharing in tasks and in decisions makes for equality, and this in turn leads to further sharing. In such a home, the growing boy and girl learn to accept that equality more easily than did their parents and to prepare more fully for participation in a world characterized by cooperation rather than by the “battle of sexes.” If the process goes too far and man’s role is regarded as less important that has happened in some cases----we are as badly off as before, only in reverse. It is time to reassess the role of the man in the American family. We are getting a little tired of “Momism”----but we don’t want to exchange it for a “neo-Popism.” What we need, rather, is the recognition that bringing up children involves a partnership of equals. There are signs that psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, and specialists on the family are becoming more aware of the part men play and that they have decided that women should not receive all the credit----nor all the blame. We have almost given up saying that a woman’s place is in the home. We are beginning, however, to analyze man’s place in the home and to insist that he does have a place in it. Nor is that place irrelevant to the healthy development of the child. The family is a co-operative enterprise for which it is difficult to lay down rules. because each family needs to work out its own ways for solving its own problems. Excessive authoritarianism has unhappy consequences, whether it wears skirts or trousers, and the ideal of equal rights and equal responsibilities is pertinent not only to a healthy democracy, but also to a healthy family.
在一个男女角色没有明显分离，许多家务或多或少由别人分担的家庭里，男尊女卑的观念很难维持。分担任务和决策的模式有助于平等，而这反过来又导致进一步的分担。在这样的家庭中，成长中的男孩和女孩比他们的父母更容易接受这种平等，并为参与一个以合作而不是“性别之战”为特征的世界做好更充分的准备。如果这一过程走得太远，人的作用被认为不那么重要，这在某些情况下已经发生了--是时候重新评估男人在美国家庭中的角色了。我们有点厌倦了“母亲主义”，但我们不想用它来换取“新波普主义”。相反，我们需要的是认识到抚养儿童需要平等的伙伴关系。 有迹象表明，精神病学家、心理学家、社会工作者和家庭专家越来越意识到男人所起的作用，他们认为女人不应该得到所有的荣誉，也不应该受到所有的指责。我们几乎已经放弃说女人的位置是在家里。然而，我们开始分析男人在家庭中的地位，并坚持认为男人在家庭中确实占有一席之地，而且这个位置与孩子的健康发展不无关系。家庭是一个合作企业，很难制定规则。因为每个家庭都要想办法解决自己的问题。过度的威权主义会带来不愉快的后果，无论是穿裙子还是裤子，平等权利和平等责任的理想不仅与健康的民主有关，也与健康的家庭有关。

A centuries-old tradition, illustrated in a modern children’s book, link the sweetness of honey with the joy of learning to read. ‘The grandpa held a jar of honey so that all the family could see. He then dipped a spoon into it and put some honey on the cover of a small book. The little girl had just turned five. ‘Stand up，little one，’he asked the girl softly. ‘I did this for your mother, your uncles，your older brother, and now you!’ Then．He handed the book to her. ‘Taste!’ She touched the honey with her finger and put it into her mouth. ‘What’s that taste?’ the grandma asked. The little girl answered,‘ Sweet!’ Then all of the family said in a single voice，‘Yes，and so is knowledge，but knowledge is from the bee that made that sweet honey, you have to go after it through the pages of a book!’ The little girl knew that the promise to read was at last hers. Soon she was going to learn to read.” This is the beginning of a profoundly moving children’s book entitled Thank You, Mr. Falker. In this book, Patricia Polacco writes of her own passion to read, inspired by the honey on the book. It wasn’t until fifth grade that she met her beloved teacher who provided the help that she needed to finally unlock the magic of the written word. Reading this book, we are in fact acquainted with some enduring traditions of child education that stress the importance of verbal capacity at a very early age. The child learning to read is admitted into a collective memory by way of books. And with the printed words that are active with meaning, the child becomes acquainted with a common past which he or she renews, to a greater or lesser degree，in every reading. Much as the author of the book Thank You, Mr．Falker puts it,” Almost as if it were magic, or as if 1ight poured into her brain, the words and sentences started to take shape on the page as they never had before…And she understood the whole thing…Then she went into the living room and found the book on a shelf, the very book that her grandpa had shown her so many years ago. She spooned honey on the cover and tasted the sweetness…Then she held the book, honey and all，close to her chest. She could feel tears roll down her cheeks, but they weren’t tears of sadness—she was happy, so very happy.”
一本现代儿童读物中阐述了一个古老的传统，将蜂蜜的甜味与学习阅读的乐趣联系起来。爷爷拿着一罐蜂蜜，让全家人都能看到。然后他用勺子蘸了蘸蜂蜜，把一些蜂蜜放在一本小书的封面上。小女孩刚满五岁。“站起来，小家伙，”他轻声地问女孩.“我这样做是为了你的母亲、你的叔叔、你的哥哥，现在还有你！”然后，他把书递给她，“尝尝！”她用手指碰了碰蜂蜜，把它放进嘴里。这是什么味道？老奶奶问道。小女孩回答说：“甜！”于是全家人异口同声地说：“是的，知识也是，但知识是来自酿蜜的蜜蜂，你必须通过书本去追寻它！”小女孩知道，她终于得到了读书的承诺。很快她就要学会阅读了。”这是一本感人的儿童读物《谢谢你，福尔克先生》的开头。 在这本书中，帕特丽夏·波隆写了她自己对阅读的热情，灵感来自书上的蜂蜜。直到五年级，她才遇到了她心爱的老师，他提供了她所需要的帮助，最终解开了文字的魔力。阅读这本书，我们实际上熟悉了一些长期的儿童教育传统，这些传统强调在很小的时候就培养语言能力的重要性。学习阅读的儿童通过书籍进入集体记忆。有了这些具有意义的印刷文字，孩子就熟悉了一个共同的过去，在每次阅读中，他或多或少地更新了这个过去。 就像《谢谢你》一书的作者福尔克先生所说的那样，”几乎就像是变了魔术，或者就像光线注入她的大脑一样，那些单词和句子开始在纸上成形，这是以前从未有过的.她在封面上舀了一勺蜂蜜，尝到了甜头......然后她把书，蜂蜜和所有的东西，靠近她的胸部。她能感觉到眼泪从她的脸颊上滚下来，但他们不是悲伤的眼泪，她很高兴，所以非常高兴。”

Many people think New York is a noisy city. In fact, scientists who study noise say that the average noise level in New York is 72.5 decibels. This is a little louder than normal conversation, which is 65 decibels. The noise level is the result of so many people and cars in the same area. Now even the insides of taxis are noisy. When you get into a taxi, you hear the voice of a well-known singer, sports reporter, or Broadway actress giving instructions. That’s right. The voice of a famous person tells you what to do. One popular singer gives this message:” Cats have nine lives, but you have only one, to fasten your seat beat!” Other voices say things such as “Don’t forget to collect all your belongings.”(People often leave hats, umbrella, and bags in taxis.) There is a good reason for the messages. There are more than 12,000 cabs in New York, and every year taxis get into more than 15,000 accidents. In an accident, people who don’t wear seat belts hit the partition, the glass wall separating the driver and passengers in the taxi. They can hurt their foreheads or break their noses or chins. Every year, about 11,000 people are injured in this way. Many people are annoyed by the voices. Cabdrivers in particular dislike the messages. ”I play the messages 12 hours a day. I hear the same voices 60 times a day. It makes me crazy,” says Atnis, a 45-year-old cabdriver.“But if I don’t play the messages, I get fined 100 dollars.” A lot of passengers complained, too. “It’s too much noise,” says a passenger, “I asked the driver to turn off the message, but he said he can’t.” Other people think the voices are a great idea. One taxi driver says,” People like to hear the famous voices, and they put on their seat belts more often.” And passengers from out of town really like the idea. “Most of the time, taxi drivers are in a bad mood, ”says Melanie Benton, who visits New York often on business, “It's nice to hear a cheerful voice when you get into a cab.”
许多人认为纽约是一个喧闹的城市。事实上，研究噪音的科学家说，纽约的平均噪音水平是72. 5分贝。这比正常谈话的声音要大一些，正常谈话的声音是65分贝。噪音水平是由于这么多的人和汽车在同一地区。现在连出租车里都很吵。当你坐进出租车时，你会听到一位著名歌手、体育记者或百老汇女演员的声音在发号施令。没错.一个名人的声音告诉你该做什么。一位流行歌手这样说：“猫有九条命，而你只有一条，把你的座位打牢！”其他声音说的话，如“不要忘记收集你所有的财物。”（人们经常把帽子、雨伞和包留在出租车上。这些信息有一个很好的理由。纽约有12,000多辆出租车，每年出租车发生的事故超过15,000起。 在一次事故中，没有系安全带的人撞上了隔板，隔板是出租车上分隔司机和乘客的玻璃墙。他们可能会伤到额头或打破鼻子或下巴。每年约有11，000人因此受伤。许多人被这些声音惹恼了。出租车司机尤其不喜欢这些信息。“我每天播放12个小时的信息。我每天都能听到60次同样的声音。这让我疯狂，”45岁的出租车司机阿尼斯说。“但是如果我不播放这些信息，我会被罚款100美元。”也有不少乘客抱怨。“太吵了，”一位乘客说，“我让司机把留言关掉，但他说关不了。”其他人认为声音是个好主意。一位出租车司机说：“人们喜欢听名人的声音，他们更经常地系上安全带。”来自外地的乘客真的很喜欢这个主意。 经常出差到纽约的梅勒妮·本顿说：“大多数时候，出租车司机的心情都不好。“”

It is often said that politeness costs nothing. In fact, it seems that a little more politeness could save businesses￡5 billion every year. Frequently hearing the phrase” thank you” or” well done” means the same to staff as modest pay rise. Praise and encouragement also makes employees more likely to work hard and stay in their jobs. In this way the business companies can save the cost of finding new employees. A third of 1,000 workers surveyed by a consulting firm said they did not get thanked at all when they did well一and a further third said they were not thanked enough. In both cases，staff said they felt undervalued，meaning they were less likely to exert themselves and were more likely to look for employment elsewhere. The result of the survey shows that there would be around￡5.2 billion loss in productivity if the employees felt less appreciated. According to the firm，praising staff has the same positive effect as a 1 per cent pay rise—and works out much cheaper for bosses. Three out of four employees said that regular acknowledgement by their bosses was important to them, but only a quarter said they were actually given as much praise as they felt they needed. The survey found that those in blue-collar and manual jobs were less likely to be given any recognition for doing well. But it seems that they most need such praise. In regional terms，Scottish staff felt most undervalued. Four out of ten workers said they were never thanked and eight out of ten said they would like more praise. However, workers in the North-East are less impressed by being praised by the boss，as only 69 per cent said they felt the need to be told ”well done”regularly. Older employees and women need the most reassurance，according to psychologist Averil Leimon. She said that words of praise did more than creating a pleasant place to work—they could even promote profits.
人们常说礼貌不费分文。事实上，似乎多一点礼貌每年可以为企业节省50亿英镑。经常听到“谢谢”或“做得好”这句话对员工来说就像适度加薪一样。表扬和鼓励也使员工更有可能努力工作并留在工作岗位上。这样企业就可以节省寻找新员工的成本。在一家咨询公司对1,000名员工进行的调查中，有三分之一的人说，当他们做得很好时，他们根本没有得到过感谢，还有三分之一的人说他们没有得到足够的感谢。在这两种情况下，员工都表示，他们感到自己被低估了，这意味着他们不太可能努力工作，更有可能在其他地方寻找工作。调查结果显示，如果员工感到不被赏识，生产力将损失约52亿英镑。根据该公司的说法，表扬员工与加薪1%有同样的积极效果，而且对老板来说要便宜得多。 四分之三的员工表示，定期得到老板的认可对他们很重要，但只有四分之一的人表示，他们实际上得到了他们认为需要的表扬。调查发现，那些从事蓝领和体力劳动的人不太可能因为表现出色而得到任何认可。但似乎他们最需要这样的赞美。就地区而言，苏格兰工作人员感到最被低估。十分之四的员工说他们从未得到过感谢，十分之八的人说他们希望得到更多的表扬。然而，东北部的员工对老板的表扬印象不那么深刻，只有69%的人说他们觉得有必要经常被老板称赞“干得好”。根据心理学家阿维里尔·莱蒙的说法，年长的员工和女性最需要保证。她说，赞美的话不仅能创造一个愉快的工作环境，甚至还能促进利润。
