Perceiving goes on in our minds. Of the three people who look out the window, one may say that he sees a policeman giving a motorist a ticket. Another may say that he sees a rush-hour traffic jam at the intersection. The third may say that he sees a woman trying to cross the street with four children in tow. For perception is the mind’s interpretation of what the senses — in this case our eyes — tell us.
Many psychologists today are working to try to determine just how a person experiences or perceives the world around him. Using a scientific approach, these psychologists set up experiments in which they can control all of the factors. By measuring and charting the results of many experiments, they are trying to find out what makes different people perceive totally different things about the same scene.
1.What does the passage mainly tell us________
A、Perceiving has nothing to do with seeing.
B、Perceiving differs from seeing.
C、Seeing is closely connected to perceiving.
D、Seeing has much to do with perceiving.
2.The phrase “with four children in tow” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to “________”.
A、with four children following closely behind her
B、with four children tied to each other with a rope
C、with four children dragging a rope held by her
D、with four children dragged in a small cart
3.According to the passage, perceiving is an action________ .
A、that tells us information through our eyes
B、that gives us senses in the mind
C、that explains what our senses tell us
D、that makes our mind different
4.The psychologists are trying to draw their conclusion ________.
A、by asking different people to tell how they perceive the same scene
B、by using a scientific approach in setting up their experiments
C、by determining how a person experiences the world around him
D、by measuring and charting the results of many experiments
5.Which of the following statements is NOT true________
A、Different people may perceive the same scene in a different way.
B、That a policeman gives a motorist a ticket means the motorist is fined.
C、No people share the same perception when they are asked to see the same scene.
D、The psychologists can control all of the factors in their experiments.

These are periods of light sleep during which the eyeballs move rapidly .back and forth under the closed lids and the brain becomes highly activated, which happens three or four times every night of normal sleep.
It is a very interesting question why some people remember dreams regularly while others remember hardly any at all under normal conditions. In considering this, it is important to bear in mind that the dream tends to be an elusive phenomenon for all of us. We normally never recall a dream unless we awaken directly from it, and even then it has a tendency to fade quickly into oblivion.
Given this general elusiveness of dreams, the basic factor that seems to determine whether a person remembers them or not is the same as that which determines all other memory, namely degree of interest. Dream researchers have made a broad classification of people into "recallers"—those who re member at least one dream a month—and "non-recallers", who remember fewer than this. Tests have shown that cool analytical people with a very rational approach to their feelings tend to recall fewer dreams than those whose attitude to life is open and flexible. It is not surprising to discover that in Western society, women normally recall more dreams than men, since women are traditionally allowed an instinctive, feeling approach to life.
In modern urban-industrial culture, feeling and dreams tend to be treated as frivolities (无聊事) which must be firmly subordinated to the realities of life. We pay lip-service to the inner life of imagination as it expresses itself in the arts, but in practice relegate (置于次要地位) music, poetry, drama and painting to the level of spare-time activities, valued mainly for the extent to which they refresh us for a return to work.
Many people are unaware that they dream because ______.
A．their dreams fade very quickly
B．they do not recall their dreams
C．they sleep too heavily
D．they wake up frequently

听力原文：W: Good morning
M: Good morning.
W: Well, what are your predictions about the world？ What is it going to be like in the year 2020？
M: Hum, if present trends continue, I'm afraid the world in 2020 will be more crowded and more polluted than the world we live in now.
W: Don't you think we will be able to cope with the increase in world population？
M: I don't think so. Even though production is constantly increasing, the people of the world will be poorer than they are today. For hundreds of millions of the desperately poor, the supply of food and other necessities of life will not be any better. And for many they will be worse, unless the nations of the world do something to change the current trends.
W: What is your estimate of world population in the year 2020？
M: If present trends continue, that is with the number of births by far exceeding the number of deaths. In 2020 the world population could approach 6,500 million people.
W: How many people are born every day？
M: About 250 every minute, but only 100 people die!
W: That's worrying! Will there be enough oil to satisfy our needs in the year 2020？
M: During the 2000s, world oil production will reach the maximum and the price of oil will begin to increase. At the next ten years of the century, the available supplies will not be sufficient for our needs. So, at lest part of these needs will have to be met by alternative sources of energy.
W: Well, that's a warning that we all need to take seriously. And with that warning, we end part one of this week's.

Cross-Cultural Communication Challenges
Definition of Culture
We all communicate with others all the time--in our homes, in our workplaces, in the groups we belong to, and in the community. No matter how well we think we understand each other, communication is hard. Just think, for example, how often we hear things like; "He doesn't get it," or "She didn't really hear what I meant to say." "Culture" is often at the root of communication challenges. Our culture influences how we approach problems, and how we participate in groups and in communities. When we participate in groups we are often surprised at how differently people approach their work together.
Culture is a complex concept, with many different definitions. But, simply put, "culture" refers to a group or community with which we share common experiences that shape the way we understand the world. It includes groups that we are born into, such as gender, race, or national origin. It also includes groups we join or become part of. For example, we can acquire a new culture by moving to a new region, by a change in our economic status, or by becoming disabled. When we think of culture this broadly, we realize we all belong to many cultures at once.
Our histories are a critical piece of our cultures. Historical experiences--whether of five years ago or of ten generations back-- shape who we are. Knowledge of our history can help us understand ourselves and one another better. Exploring the ways in which various groups within our society have related to each other is key to opening channels for cross-cultural communication.
Six Fundamental Patterns of Cultural Differences
As people from different cultural groups take on the exciting challenge of working together, cultural values sometimes conflict. We can misunderstand each other, and react in ways that can hinder what are otherwise promising partnerships. Oftentimes, we aren't aware that culture is acting upon us. Sometimes, we are not even aware that we have cultural values or assumptions that are different from others!
？Different Communication Styles
The way people communicate varies widely between, and even within, cultures. One aspect of communication style. is language usage. Across cultures, some words and phrases are used in different ways. For example, even in countries that share the English language, the meaning of "yes" varies from "maybe, I'll consider it" to "definitely so," with many shades in between.
Another major aspect of communication style. is the degree of importance given to non-verbal communication. Non-verbal communication includes not only facial expressions and gestures; it also involves seating arrangements, personal distance, and sense of time. In addition, different norms regarding the appropriate degree of assertiveness in communicating can add to cultural misunderstandings. For instance, some white Americans typically consider raised voices to be a sign that a fight has begun, while some black, Jewish and Italian Americans often feel that an increase in volume is a sign of an exciting conversation among friends. Thus, some white Americans may react with greater alarm of a loud discussion than would members of some American ethnic or non-white racial groups.
？Different Attitudes Toward Conflict
Some cultures view conflict as a positive thing, while others view it as something to be avoided. In the U.S., conflict is not usually desirable; but people often are encouraged to deal directly with conflicts that do arise. In fact, face-to-face meetings customarily are recommended as the way to work through whatever problems exist. In contrast, in many Eastern countries, open conflict is experienced as embarrassing or demeaning; as a rule, differences are best worked out quietly. A written exchange might be the favored means to address the

Meanwhile world population is spiraling upward, and the most rapid increases are being made in just those regions where getting proper nourishment is the greatest problem. Today while the people of the "have" countries are well fed and are piling up surpluses of foodstuffs, in the "have-not" countries more millions than ever are going hungry every day.
In recent years, however, there has been a great "awakening of the common man." People who previously had little contact with the outside world have begun to rub shoulders with people from other, better-developed countries.
They have begun to realize, as an expert puts it, that "poverty is not a God-given state of life." Moreover, the "have" nations of the world have began to realize that no single nation, however prosperous, can exist for itself alone. The entire world is so bound together today by ties of trade and travel that poverty and famine anywhere threaten the richest of the nations along with the poorest. As a result, much thought and skilled effort are being devoted to improving food supplies in the underfed areas.
Many of the world's food problems are quite evident and can be attacked directly. Some farmers are still using tools and methods dating back to prehistoric times, you may say. Bring their methods up to date with modern tools and machines, teach them to fertilize and irrigate their soil, provide them with good seed and good animals to raise, and they soon will be producing plenty for themselves.
This approach is being followed; the agronomist in Greece, the farm expert in Afghanistan, and many others are doing all they can to improve agricultural techniques in countless widely scattered farm communities. But behind every problem that can be solved by machinery or a packet of seed or a sack of fertilizer looms a human problem having to do with what has long been known as social lag.
Whenever you try to revolutionize the ways of a people, you run into a maze(错综复杂的曲径) of intricate, interlocked problems. The behavior. of human beings is complex and cannot be controlled as simple as the behavior. of white mice in a laboratory. What seems an obvious solution may prove difficult, even impossible, to carry out.
The solution to the world's food problems depends on ______.
A．modern methods of farming
B．providing family farms
C．solving problems besides growing food
D．the help of "have" countries
第8题
Nowadays, people are very busy. Often, both parents work outside the home. Children are expected to take on more responsibility at home to help their parents. They also have sporting and leisure activities as well as school expectations.
The busyness also adds another factor: the need to use cars to get from one place to another quickly.
Today, society places a lot of emphasis on technology. Computers, DVDs, CDs, television, PlayStations and Xboxes have become major leisure activities, rather than traditional more active pursuits. This has led to a more sedentary lifestyle.
The media provide entertainment and information. (79)Unfortunately, they also promote fast food which fits easily into busy lifestyles. It is much more convenient at times to buy a quick takeaway rather than prepare a meal. The media constantly bombard(轰炸) their audience with "perfect" body images, the need to buy the most fashionable clothes, the most up-to-date computer games, the best places to visit and the best things to do.
Environments vary. We may be exposed to pollution, such as cigarette smoke. This can be harmful to people who suffer from breathing difficulties. (80)Environments where passive smoking is unavoidable make it difficult to lead a healthy life.
Perhaps the important factor influencing healthy lifestyles is motivation, or the desire to be healthy. Any person who wants to be healthy will find a way to be healthy—if he/she is motivated enough!
The passage is mainly about______.
A．benefits of a healthy life style
B．demands of daily life
C．factors affecting a healthy lifestyle
D．a positive approach to healthy living

听力原文： In the 18th century French economists protested the excessive regulation of business by the government. Their motto was laisser faire. Laisser faire means let the people do as they choose. In the economic sense, this meant that while the government should be responsible for things like maintaining peace and protecting property rights, it should not interfere with private business. It shouldn't create regulations that might hinder business growth, nor should it be responsible for providing subsidies to help. In other words, governments should take a hands-off approach to business.
For a while in the United States, laisser faire was a popular doctrine. But things quickly changed. After the Civil War, politicians rarely opposed the government's generous support of business owners. They were only too glad to support government land grants and loans to railroad owners, for example. Their regulations kept tariffs high and that helped protect American industrialists against foreign competition. Ironically in the late 19th century, a lot of people believed that the laisser faire policy was responsible for the country's industrial growth. It was generally assumed that because business owners did not have a lot of external restrictions placed on them by the government, they could pursue their own interests, and this was what made them so successful. But in fact, many of these individuals would not have been able to meet their objectives if not for government support.
Questions 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.
33. What does the passage mainly talk about？
34. Who first used the motto laisser faire？
35. What is the principal idea of the laisser faire policy？

A．Competition in business.
B．Government grants.
C．A type of economic policy.
D．International transportation practices.
