Did you ever wonder how it is possible for us to recognize people? Even a skilled writer probably could not describe all the features that make one face different from another. Yet a very young child—or even an animal, such as a pigeon—can learn to recognize faces. We all take this ability for granted.We also tell people apart by how they behave. When we talk about someone's personality, we mean the ways in which he or she acts, speaks, thinks and feels that make that individual different from others.Like the human face, human personality is **plex. But describing someone's personality in words is somewhat easier than describing his face. If you were asked to describe what a "nice face" looked like, you probably would have a difficult time doing so. But if you were asked to describe a "nice person", you might begin to think about someone who was kind, considerate, friendly, warm, and so forth.1.

The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 to 45.The tango (探戈舞) has probably traveled further and gone through more changes than almost any other dance. African slaves brought the tango to Haiti and Cuba in the 18th century. In Cuba, the tango was influenced by the local Cuban dance, called "the Havana". From there, immigrants took the tango to Argentina in the 19th century, where it was changed once again and became popular in the slums of Buenos Aires. It was a rude dance by this time, which made it difficult for Europeans to accept.At the beginning of this century, the tango was refined (改进). It was performed in its sophisticated (讲究的) European form, and became popular in England and in USA.Once established, the tango became very popular and fashionable in London and Paris. People began to follow the Viennese waltz custom of dancing in restaurants between the courses of a meal. Owners encouraged this, "for the pleasure of the customers and for the benefit of their digestion"!1.

Active participation involves the following:1.Start a discussion，bringing up new ideas and topics，and making suggestions.2.Asking people for opinions，information，and explanations.3.Repeating ideas and explanations for those who can't understand you.4.Encouraging people to speak by accepting different points of view. If an employee appears to be passive at a meeting，Americans may feel that the person is not contributing to the meeting.“Brainstorming” is a common practice at American meetings. The purpose of brainstorming is to express as many ideas as possible on a given question or problem. This technique is used to collect all the ideas of the group，without stopping to discuss or evaluate the value of each suggestion. First people brainstorm freely; then they narrow down and eliminate ideas or suggestions that are not workable. Brainstorming is a creative process that demands full verbal participation. This method of creating，exploring，and solving problems is foreign to many people who are not culturally comfortable with “blurting out”（不加考虑的说出）ideas.36.If you are attending business meeting in America，you'd better ______.A）speak out your own ideas activelyB）keep silent and listen to the others carefullyC）appear uninterested in the meetingsD）wait for your turn to speak37.When someone can't understand your opinions.

Education today is not just a high school diploma（文凭）or a college degree. Many adults are not interested in going to college. They are interested in other kinds of learning. For them，learning does not end with a diploma.Continuing education gives these adults the opportunity to increase their knowledge about their own field or to learn about a new field. It also gives them a chance to improve their old skills or to learn new ones. Scientists，mechanics（技师）and barbers（理发师）can take classes to improve their work skills. If they know more or learn more，they can get a better job or earn more money.Continuing education classes give more adults the chance to learn new skills. There is usually a large variety of classes to choose from: typing，foreign cooking，photography，auto repair，furniture repair，or swimming. There are only some of the classes available.Some adults take classes for fun or because the class will be useful for them. Other adults take continuing education classes to improve their own lives because they want to feel better about themselves.Almost any community college or public school system has a continuing education program. There are classes in schools，community buildings or churches. Most classes are in the evenings，so working people can attend. The classes are usually small，and they are inexpensive.41.The new idea about education in the U.S. is that ______.A）everyone should get a college degreeB）it's no use for adults to go to collegeC）a high school diploma is the end of educationD）adults should go on learning after graduating from school42.What's the purpose for adults to continue their education?A）Enlarge their knowledge and learn new skills.B）Catch up the opportunity to get a higher degree.C）Learn morn basic knowledge to get a diploma.D）Make themselves live a more comfortable life.43.Which of the following statements is TRUE?A）There are only a few continuing education classes available for adults.B）Only those who want to get more money should go on with their education.C）People take continuing education classes for different reasons.D）All the people getting continuing education can get a good job.ually，the continuing education program is given ______.A）in a small size and expensivelyB）only for working peopleC）only in community buildings or churchesD）by community colleges and public schools45.The best title for the passage would be ______.A）Continuing Education ClassesB）The Importance of a College DegreeC）A Good Way to Earn More MoneyD）Different Choices for AdultsTask3Directions: The following is a guide for foreign students to look for accommodation（住宿）.
