7、g in schools and business.what is Jason Ohlers attitude towards e-books().A. Positive.B. Indifferent.C. Cautious.D. Suspicious.2.At some time in your life you may have a strong desire to do something strange or terrible. However, chances are that you don’t act on your impulse, but let it pass
8、instead. You know that to commit the action is wrong in some way and that other people will not accept your behavior.Perhaps the most interesting thing about the phenomenon of the behavior is how it can change over the years within the same society, how certain behavior and attitudes once considered
9、 taboo can become perfectly acceptable and natural at another point in time. Topics such as death, for example, were once considered so upsetting and unpleasant that it was a taboo to even tall about them. Now with the publication of important books such as On Death and Dying and Learning to Say Goo
10、dbye, people have become more aware of the importance of expressing feelings about death and, as a result, are more willing to talk about this taboo subject.One of the newest taboos in American society is the topic of fat. Unlike many other taboos, fat is a topic that Americans tall about constantly
11、. It’s not taboo to tall about fat; it’s taboo to be fat. The thin look is thin, not fat.In the work world, most companies prefer youthful-looking, trim executives to sell their image as well as their products to the public. The thin look is associated with youth, vigor and success. The
12、fat person, on the other hand, is thought of as lazy and lacking in energy, self- respect. After all, people think, how can people who care about themselves, and therefore the way they look, permit themselves to become fat In an image-conscious society like the U.S., thin is in, fat is out.In the U.
13、S., the expression that thin is in and fat is out probably means ().A. thin is diligent and fat is lazyB. thin is fashionable and fat is unfashionableC. thin is inside and fat is outsideD. thin is spiritless and fat is vigorous3.Shopping for clothes is not the same experience for a man as it is for
14、a woman. A man goes shopping because he needs something. He knows what he wants, and his purpose is to find it and buy it, the price is a less important consideration. All men simply walk into a shop and ask the assistant for what they want. If the shop has it, the salesman immediately produces it,
15、and the business of trying it on is done at once. All being well, the bargain (交易) can be and often is completed in less than five minutes, with hardly any chat and to everyone’s satisfaction.For a man, slight problems may begin when the shop does not have what he wants. Then the salesman trie
16、s to sell the customer (顾客) something else he offers the nearest he can to the thing required. He usually says, I know this jacket is not the style (式样) you want, sir, but would you like to try it on for size It happens to be the color you wanted. Few men have patience with this treatment, and the u
17、sual reply is: This is the right colour and may be the right size, but I should be wasting my time and yours by trying it on.Now how does a woman go about buying clothes She does so in the opposite way. She has never fully made up her mind what she wants, and she is only having a look round. She is
18、always open to persuasion, indeed she considers of great importance what the saleswoman tells her, even what her friends tell her. She will try on any number of things. Highest in her mind is the thought of finding something that everyone thinks suits her. Most women have an excellent sense (判断力) of
19、 value when they buy clothes. They are always trying to find an unexpected bargain. Faced with a roomful of dresses, a woman may easily spend an hour going from one counter (柜台) to another before selecting the dresses she wants to try on. It takes a great deal of time but gives great joy. Most dress
20、 shops supply chairs for the waiting husbands.When a man cannot get what he wants, he ().A. buys something of the same color in a slightly different styleB. usually does not buy anythingC. will try on some other clothes of the same styleD. wastes no time in buying something else4.Training as mental-
21、health professionals is supposed to be color blind. That sounds fine but in practice it means that people from black and ethnic groups get an unfair treatment because their particular problems are seldom acknowledged.So a project was piloted involving Bangladeshi women in inner-city London, most of
22、whom migrated to the UK in the 1960s and 1970s from a rural background. Many of these women turned to their doctors with common symptoms of anxiety, such as headaches, sleeping difficulties, loss of appetite and lack of energy. They were usually prescribed tranquillizers or even Vitamin C since the
23、underlying causes remained, the women visited their doctors with increasing frequency and some were referred on to mental-health professionals.The psychologists wanted to see how normal Western approaches to anxiety problems might work when applied across cultures. However, they found that many thin
24、gs in the standard approach had to be changed. They had to translate many of the usual examplesthey would normally compare learning to relax with learning to drive, for instance, which would not have been culturally appropriate. At first they asked the women to rate, on a scale one to ten, the effec
25、t of relaxation on their level of anxiety. They found numbers an odd way of expressing how they were feeling. So psychologists shifted their focus to words and talked of five stages form very good to very bad.As it was a pilot project, there were shortcomings. Psychologists looked for too little bac
26、k-up and did not collect as much objective data as they might have done with a white group. They fell into the white stereotype of assuming that Bangladeshi women would find the use of various checklists and written records foreign. Perhaps racism has conditioned the professionals to a greater exten
27、t than they expected. Psychologists found that using a Western model across cultures has potential. But it needs political, financial and personal commitment.What has led to the failure of the mental-health professionals collecting sufficient data().A. They fall into stereotypes resulted from the in
28、fluence of racism.B. They have language problems while communicating with the women.C. They want to protect the women from racism.D. Bangladeshi women do not want to tell the psychologists their feelings.5.Today more and more people go to websites when looking for information. Although most readers
29、go to websites for news and e-mail, a form of person-to-person news, or in the form of chatting, they also read books on the web. It’s called electronic book (e-book).Electronic books could revolutionize reading, but people ought to consider their far-reaching impacts as well. The e-book promi

35、ools and business that don’t provide e-booksD. encourage people to use e-books6.The development of e-commerce may well bring the world into a brand new era of electronic currency. At the moment, (51) areas in Europe, the United States and Asia have already started studying the possibility of a
36、n electronic currency. Electronic currency is not only about currency. It (52) to an entire finance system on the Net. It includes a virtual numeric currency, an electronic system of withdrawals, transfers and loans, and (53) cards of all shapes and sizes. The (54) of an electronic currency system i
37、mplies the emergence of virtual banks and virtual enterprises. Actually, the first virtual bank appeared in the US in 1995. (55) it is a small and insignificant bank, it represents the trend of the future. In time to come, we may even have to (56) the familiar paper currency.As the Net pushes the ec
38、onomy (57) rapidly, the economy is also bringing the Net market forward, resulting in the Internet itself becoming the world’s largest emerging market. Of course, this is just the beginning. Although there are many companies which made huge profits (58) in the Internet market, they tend to be
39、small companies. To date, most companies are making losses. The competition in the knowledge-based economy will also be more (59) This will definitely promote (60) and more efficient cooperation.53().A.phoneB.creditC.personalD.borrowing7.At some time in your life you may have a strong desire to do s
