2、ing his mind, and has something to say on everything. But his frankness is often extremely embarrassing.He is incapable of saying, “I thought that last advertising campaign had a lot of good ideas in it, but perhaps next time we could give the copy more vitality (活力) .” Instead, he could say, “That

3、campaign was a disaster. A child of three could have done better!”The fact that he is often right does not help. Other employees dislike his manner even more, he is too sensitive to notice.Another character among the list of ill-mannered employees is Sally, who seems to regard just being at work as

4、a severe punishment. Everything is done unwillingly. Asking her to do a task beyond her basic job description is often not worth the trouble. It will be done, but half-heartedly.Fergus is just the opposite. He shows an over-familiarity to his boss. When an important visitor is shown into the manager

5、s office, Fergus cannot take the hint and leave. Instead he w3ill attempt to take part in the conversation, declaring, “You can talk in font of me.

10、building you own Web site. “Like my living room, or my study, its where I put, mementos (纪念品), collectibles (收藏物), books and paintings and things that I would like to show to my friends and relatives.”Renne Tubegeihan uses his own Web site to invite people into his virtual home. While John Marashod

11、designed his own Web site to attract other parents of disabled children. “Id say the goal of this site is to basically link parents in the same situation with disabled children and exchange ideas with one another.”Renne and John are part of a growing number of surfers who have established their own

12、Web site. If you want to weave a Web yourself, its easier than you think. The first step is to get your own Web address. Theyre sold by Web service providers like Microsoft, AT&T, and other local companies. You are expected to pay between 15 and 25 dollars every month to rent space for your site. Bu

13、t some companies, like Tripod and Geocities, issue the site for free if you agree to allow their advertising on your page.Before you get into setting up your own Web site, you should go around and do some surfing and check out other sites.

Thats great if your mood is a pleasant one, but a problem if you are sad, anxious, a

20、ngry or simple lonely.Perhaps the best way to deal with such moods is to talk them out: sometimes, though, there is no one to listen. Modern pharmacology (药物学) offers a lot of tranquilizers (镇静剂), antidepressants and anti-anxiety drugs. What many people dont realize, however, is that scientists have

21、 discovered the effectiveness of several non-drug approaches to make you free from an unwanted mood. These can be just as useful as drugs, and have the added benefit of being non-poisonous. So next time you feel out of sorts, dont head for the drug-store, try the following approach.Of all the mood-a

22、ltering self-help techniques, aerobic (增氧健体的) exercise seems to be the most efficient cure for a bad mood. “If you could keep the exercise, youd be in high spirits.” Says Kathryn Lance, author of Running for Health and Beauty.Researchers have explained biochemical and various other changes that make

23、 exercise compared favorably to drugs as a mood-raiser. Physical exertion such as housework, however, does little. The key is aerobic exerciserunning, cycling, walking, swimming or other repetitive and tamed activities that boost the heart rate., increase circulation (血液循环) and improve the bodys uti

24、lization (利用) of oxygen. Do them for at least 20 minutes a session, three of five times a week.11.

29、st what it needs form this huge mixture, it can only cope up to a point. If you go on eating too much of some things and not enough of others, youll eventually get out of condition and your health will suffer. So think before you start eating. It may look good. It may taste good. Fine! But how much

30、good is it really doing you?What you eat and the way it affects your body depend very much on the kinds of person you are. For one thing, the genes you inherit form your parents can determine how your body metabolism (新陈代谢) copes with particular foods. The tendency to put on weight rather easily, fo

31、r example, often runs in familieswhich means that they have to take particular care.And your parents many shape your future in another way. The way you are brought up shapes some basic attitudes to foodlike whether you have a sweet tooth, nibble （吃零食）between meals, take big mountains or eat chips wi

32、th everything. Eating habits, good or bad, tend to get passed on.And then there is your lifestyle. How much you spend on food ( time as well as money ), how much exercise you getthese can alter the balance between food and fitness.And finally, both your age and your sex may affect this balance. For

33、example, youre more likely to put on weight as get older, especially if youre a woman.16.

37、ain.Passage 4(英语类学生必做，非英语类学生不做，1620小题。)Mrs. P sneezes violently. Mrs. Q says, “Bless you!” Mrs. P says, “Thank you.” Again, this hardly seems to be a case of language being used to communicate ideas, but rather to maintain a comfortable relationship between people. Its function is to provide a means

38、 of avoiding a situation which both parties might otherwise find embarrassing. No factual content is involved. Similarly, the use of such phrases as “Good morning” or “Pleased to meet you”, and ritual exchanges about health or the weather, do not communicate ideas in the usual sense.Sentences of thi

39、s kind are usually automatically produced, and stereotyped in structure. They often state the obvious (e. g. Lovely day) or have no content at all (e. g. Hello).They certainly require a special kind of explanation, and this is found in the idea that language is here being used for the purpose of mai

40、ntaining good relationship between people. The anthropologist (人类学家) Bronislaw Malinowski created the phrase “phatic communication” to signal friendshipor, at least, lack of hatred. For someone to withhold these when they are expected, by staying silent, is a sure sign of distance, alienation (疏远) ,

41、 or even danger.These illustrations apply to English and to many European languages. But cultures vary greatly in the topics which they permit as phatic communication. The weather is not as universal a conversation-filler as the English might like to think. For example, Rundi women (in Burendi, Cent

42、ral Africa), upon taking leave, are quite often heard to say, routinely and politely, “I must go home now, or my husband will beat me.” Moreover, phatic communication itself is far from universal. Some culture say little, and prefect silence, as in the case of the Paliyans of southern India, or the

43、American of Colombia.16. What is the subject of the passage?A. Language used to communication ideas.B. Difference between English of language use.C. A special social function of language use.D.
