cts
groups value silence and view it. as
necessary for understanding a person’s needs. Many
native
Americans
value
silence
and
feel
it
is
a
basic
part
of
33
among
people,
just
as
some
traditional Chinese and Thai persons
do. Therefore, when a person from one of these
culture is
speaking and suddenly stops,
what may be 34
is that the
person wants the listener to
consider
what has been said before continuing. In these
culture, silence is a call for 35_______.
Other
cultures
may
use
silence
in
other
ways,
particularly
when
dealing
with

in relationships of people with different amounts
of power. For example, Russian,
French,
and Spanish persons may use silence to show
37_______
between parties
about the topic
under discussion.
However, Mexicans may use silence when
instructions are given by a person in
authority rather
than be rude to that person by arguing
with him or her. In still another use, persons
in Asian cultures may
view
silence as a sign of
respect, particularly to an cider or a person in
authority.
Nurses and other
care-givers need to be aware of the 38 meanings of
silence when they come
across the
personal anxiety their patients may be
experiencing. Nurses should recognize their own
personal and cultural construction of
silence so that a patien
t’
s
silence is not 39 too early or allowed
to
go
on
unnecessarily.
A
nurse
who
understands
the
healing
40
of
silence
can
use
this
understanding to assist
in the care of patients from their own and from
other cultures.

For each blank in the following passage
there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C
and D. Fill in each blank with the word
or phrase that best fits the context.
Multitasking
What
is
the
first
thing
you
notice
when
you
walk
into
a
shop?
The
products
41
at
the
entrance? Or the soft
background music?
But have you ever
noticed the smell? Unless it is bad, the answer is
likely to be no. But while
a shop's
scent may not be outstanding 42
sights and sounds, it is
certainly there. And it is
providing to
be an increasing powerful tool in encouraging
people to 43
.
A
brand store has become famous for its distinctive
scent which floats through the fairly dark
hall and out to the entrance, via scent
machines. A smell may be 44
but it may not
just be
used for freshening air. One
sports goods company once reported that when it
first introduced scent
into its stores,
customers
’
45
to purchase
increased by 80 percent.
When it comes
to the best shopping streets in Pairs, scent is
just as important to a brands 46
as the quality
of its window displays and goods on sales. That is
mainly because shopping is a very

experience to what it used to be.

Now

electronic
commerce (e-commerce) has opened up famous brands
to a wider audience. Bui while

only

offer
a

experience from the minute customers 51
through the door to the moment they leave. Another
brand
store seeks to be much more than
a shop, but rather a(n) 52_________. And scent is
just one way

Now a famous store uses complex man-

Directions:
Read the
following three passages. Each passage is followed
by several questions or
unfinished
statements. For each of them there are four
choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the
one that fits best according to the
information given in the passage you have just
read.
A
They say a cat has
nine lives, and I think that possible since I am
now living my third life and
Pm not
even a cat. My father died when T was 15, and we
had a hard struggle to make a living. And
my mother, who was seriously ill in her
last years, died while still in her 60s. My sister
married soon
after, and I followed her
example within the year.
This was when
I began to enjoy my first life. T was very happy,
in excellent health. I had a
good job
in San Jose and a beautiful home up the peninsula
in San Carlos. Life was a pleasant dream.
Then the dream ended. I became
afflicted
（使苦恼）
with a slowly progressive disease of
the motor
nerves, affecting first my
right arm and leg, and then my other side. Thus
began my second life....
In
spite
of
my
disease
I
still
drove
to
and
from
work
each
day,
with
the
aid
of
special
equipment installed in my car. And I
managed to keep my health and optimism, to a
degree, because
of 14 steps. Crazy? Not
at all. Our home was an affair with 14 steps
leading up from the garage to
the
kitchen
door.
Those
steps
were
a
standard
measure
of
life.
They
were
my
yardstick,
my
challenge to continue living. I felt
that if the day arrived when I was unable to lift
one foot up one
step
and
then
drag
the
other
painfully
after
it
---repeating
the
process
14
times,
I
would
be
through---1 could then admit defeat and
lie down and die.
Then on a dark night
in August, 1971, I began my third life. It was
raining when I started home
that night;
strong winds and slashing rain beat down on the
car as I drove slowly down one of the
less-traveled roads. Suddenly the
steering wheel
jerked
（猝然一动）
.
In the same instant I
heard
the
bang of a blowout.
It was impossible for me to change that tire!
Utterly impossible!
I started the
engine and thumped slowly along until I came to
the dirt road, where I turned in
and
where I found lighted windows welcomed
me to a house and pulled into the
driveway and
blared the horn.
The door opened and a little girl stood
there. When she knew what happened to me, she went
into the house and a moment later came
out, followed by a man who called a cheerful
greeting. I sat
there comfortable and
dry, and felt a bit sorry for the man and the
little girl working so
hard
in the
storm.
About an hour
later, the man's voice was heard,
“
This is a bad night for car
trouble, but you're
all set now. ”
“Thanks
，
” I said. “How much
do I owe you?” He shook his head, “Nothing.
Cynthia
told me you were a cripple.
Glad to be of help. 1 know you'd do the same for
me. There
’s
no charge,
friend
.” I
held
out a five-dollar b
川，
“No! I
like to pay my way.” He made no effort to take it
and the
little girl stepped closer to
the window and said quietly, “Grandpa can’t see
it. ”
