Ⅱ.阅读理解[2012·全国卷Ⅱ] in American culture (文化) the smile is in general an expression of pleasure. Yet it also has other uses. A woman's smile
at a police officer does not carry the same meaning as the smile she gives to a young child. A smile may show love or politeness. It can also hide true feelings. It often causes confusion(困惑) across cultures. For example, many people in Russia consider smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even improper. Yet many Americans smile freely at strangers in public places(although this is less common in big cities). Some Russians believe that Americans smile in the wrong places; some Americans believe that Russians don't smile enough. In Southeast Asian cultures, a smile is frequently used to cover painful feelings. Vietnamese people may tell a sad story but end the story with a smile.
Our faces show emotions(情感), but we should not attempt to “read” people from another culture as we would “read” someone from our own culture. The fact that members of one culture do not express their emotions as openly as do members of another does not mean that they do not experience emotions. Rather, there are cultural differences in the amount of facial expressiveness permitted. For example, in public and in formal situations many Japanese do not show their emotions as freely as Americans do. When with friends, Japanese and Americans seem to show their emotions similarly.
It is difficult to generalize about Americans and facial expressiveness because of personal and cultural differences in the United States. People from certain cultural backgrounds in the United States seem to be more facially expressive than others. The key is to try not to judge people whose ways of showing emotion are different. If we judge according to our own cultural habits, we may make the mistake of “reading” the other person incorrectly.
16．What does the smile usually mean in the US?
A．Love.
B．Politeness.
C．Joy.
D．Thankfulness.
17．The author mentions the smile of the Vietnamese to prove that a smile can ________．show friendliness to strangers
B．be used to hide true feelings
C．be used in the wrong places
D．show personal habits
18．What should we do before attempting to “read” people?
A．Learn about their relations with others.
B．Understand their cultural backgrounds.
C．Find out about their past experience.
D．Figure out what they will do next.
19．What would be the best title for the text?
A．Cultural Differences
B．Smiles and Relationships
C．Facial Expressiveness
D．Habits and Emotions
B
Two men,
who were both seriously ill,
occupied the same hospital room. One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour a day to get rid of the fluids (液体) from his lungs. His bed was next to the room's only window. The other man had to spend all his time lying flat on his back.
The men talked for hours on_end. They talked about everything in their life. But always,
the best subject was the time when the man by the window described all the things he could see outside the window.
The man in the other bed would live for those onehour periods where his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activities and colors of the outside world. The man had said out of the window was a park with a lovely lake. Ducks and swans (天鹅) played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Lovers walked arm in arm among flowers of every color. Old trees graced the landscape,
and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance. As the man by the window described all these in detail,
the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine the scene.
One warm afternoon the man by the window described a parade passing by. Although the other man could not hear the band,
he could see it in his eye as the man by the window described it. Unexpectedly,
an alien thought entered his head: Why should he have all the pleasure of seeing everything while I never get to see anything? It didn't seem fair. As the thought fermented (发酵),
the man felt ashamed at first. But as the days passed and he missed seeing more sights,
his envy became resentment and soon turned him sour. These dark thoughts made himself unable to sleep. He should be by that window—and that thought now controlled his life.
Late one night,
as he lay staring at the ceiling,
the man by the window began to cough uncontrollably and pushed the button calling for help. But he never moved,
never pushed his own button,
which would have brought the nurse running. In about five minutes the man was gone.
When his body was taken away,
the other man asked if he could be moved next to the window. His wish was soon granted (满足). en he strained to take his first look out of the window,
he found it faced a blank wall.
20．Which is the proper title of the passage?
A．The relationship between the two men.
B．Envy turns the soul sour.
C．The two men,
who were both seriously ill,
were in hospital.
D．The time the two men spent together in hospital.
21．What does the underlined phrase “on end” mean in the second paragraph?
A．In total.
B．Ending..
23．Which of the following sentences is TRUE?
A．What the man by the window described was real.
B．Envy makes one's health worse day after day.
C．At first the man who couldn't see the sight outside the window could imagine the sight. D．The man was happy when his wish was granted.
