14.For much of my childhood,my mother filled the evening hours doing something for someone else.Sometimes she knitted (编织) hats for babies,and at other times she cooked chicken soup for sick neighbors.Therefore,I wasn't (21)C when one evening my mother announced she'd start a new project.
"I'm going to telephone neighboring (22)(D every night,"said my mother.
"Every night?But you don't even (23)B these people."
"Doesn't matter,"she said."What's important is that I want to listen."
I was sixteen years old and couldn't figure out why my mother was willing to spend her evenings talking to strangers.She had friends and my two elder sisters to call (24)B she felt lonely.
My(25)A didn't affect my mother's project.That evening after supper,she settled on the sofa with the phone and began making phone calls.
For a while,I listened as she asked the lady on the phone about her day,what she had eaten for dinner,and asked if she had (26)C that the beautiful roses had come out in a neighboring park.When she finished the call,I said,"What do you (27)D whether she had cookie or cream pie for dessert?"
My mother replied,"I'm the (28)A person she talked to today."
It took me nearly thirty years to understand the(29)B of what she was doing.Now,as my mother is nearing sixty,I find myself thinking about those nightly (30)C she used to make.
I am often the only person who telephones my mother,and sometimes I'm the only person she speaks to all day.I ask her what she cooked for dinner,but mostly I just (31)B as she describes a walk she took,or how her dog Lucky stole a piece of cheese from the kitchen.
I (32)A that my mother's calls were lifelines (生命之线 ) that kept lonely seniors connected to the world.Somehow,she managed to work full-time and(33)D a family while improving the lives of others.
That kind of(34)A needs commitment (奉献,投入) and organizational skills that I do not have.While she freed several seniors from(35)C,I struggle to call just one-my mother.

点评 完形填空属"综合能力应用"题型,是高考的必考题型.完形填空在高考试卷中是拉开考生得分的一道关键题型.从近几年高考完形填空题看,纯语法知识几乎不考,主要考查考生灵活运用所学词汇的能力,尤其是以考查实词或信息词为主,着重考查考生对文章的内在逻辑和整体把握能力.因此,把握句间和段落之间的内在逻辑关系,通过上下文暗示,对篇章、段落或句意的整体把握;再则,干扰项的设置与语法结构无甚关系,重在文意干扰.因此,把握文意和具体语境,通过对词义的辨析,是解完形填空的最好手段.

In giving advice,you must learn to understand the person's level of judgment.There will be some people who come to you with unconnected knowledge,talking about,say,Vitamin B12and other modern(41)concepts.When they ask advice,begin at that level.Unless you start at their own level,they will not be able to understand.You must explain to them in scientific terms the effects of the food they eat,and how they need to (42)changeit.
You have to train yourself to be very(43)flexible.Staying at one level is not being a free man.If we stay at a very high level all the time,that is not practical.A limitless person goes (44)freelyfrom one level of thinking to another,according to his circumstances.To do this we must get rid of our unwillingness to change our way of thinking or behavior,become friends with everyone,and have the same loving feelings for everyone.Then we can give advice to all kinds of people.If there is someone or something you dislike,you are still(45)limited,and your ability to give advice is reduced.For anyone,the same.A free person acts like that.
You cannot stay with a sick person all the time.You must (46)respect a person's freedom as much as you can.If people really want to die,let them-it is their freedom.The point is never to become an authority(47)figure; remain a friend or advisor.People should not come back (48)repeatedlyfor consultation; if they do,your advice has been incomplete-you did not know how to give the (49)properadvice about freedom.If they do not understand that,sick people become slaves; they are still afraid inside,and are(50)dependent.That is no way to build a healthy world and help people become happy and free.

3.Informal conversation is an important part of any business relationship.Before you start a discussion,however,make sure you understand which topics are suitable and which are considered taboos(禁忌) in a particular culture.Latin Americans enjoy sharing information about their local history,art,and customs.They expect questions about their family and are sure to show pictures of their children.You may feel free to ask similar questions of your Latin American friends.The French think of conversation as an art form,and they enjoy the value of lively discussions as well as disagreements.For them,arguments can be interesting and they can cover pretty much or any topic as long as they occur in a respectful and intelligent(智慧的) manner.
In the United States,business people like to discuss a wide range of topics,including opinions about work,family,hobbies,and politics.In Japan,China,and Korea,however,people are much more private.They do not share much about their thoughts,feelings,or emotions because they feel that doing so might take away from the harmonious(和谐的) business relationship they're trying to build.Middle Easterners are also private about their personal lives and family matters.It is considered rude,for example,to ask a businessman from Saudi Arabia about his wife or children.
As a general rule,it's best not to talk about politics or religion with your business friends.This can get you into trouble,even in the United States,where people hold different views.In addition,discussing one's salary is usually considered unsuitable.Sports is typically a friendly subject in most parts of the world,although be careful not to criticize a national sport.Instead,be friendly and praise your host's team.
28.The author considers politics and religionB.
A.cheerful topics      B.taboos    C.rude topics D.too serious
29.Which is typically a friendly topic in most places according to the author?
A
A.Sports.B.Children.C.Personal feelings.D.Families.
30.In which country may it be suitable to talk about the family with your business friends?B
A.In France.B.In Saudi Arabia.C.In Korea.D.In the USA.
31.What shouldn't you do when talking about sports with colleagues from another country?D
A.Praising your own country's sports.
B.Criticizing your own country's sports.
C.Praising the sports of your colleagues'country.
D.Criticizing the sports of your colleagues'country.

4.One in three of us eat more meals by ourselves than we do with other people,a new study showed today.
But before you digest that somewhat depressing figures,there is some good news---kind of---a lot of us are perfectly happy to eat alone because the computer and TV provide us with solitary (独居的) entertainment.
Perhaps unsurprisingly,half of the UK's bachelors eat a meal alone at least once a day.And even one in four mothers with families have dinner mostly by themselves according to a major report on eating trends and social change by the Future Foundation.However,eating alone doesn't seem to matter anymore if you can chat away on social networks-in fact it's now both a quick and entertaining affair.
"Suppertainment"is the phrase being coined for the current major trend that reflects the number of people who eat in front of the computer,TV or games.Single men are the majority leading this trend,with 60percent of them spending meal times plugged into something.However,40percent of mothers and 30percent of students also eat meals while being on the PC or laptop several times a week.
Boyd Hilton,TV and reviews editor of Heat Magazine says:"Setting yourself up in front of the TV to‘Suppertain'comes naturally,especially when you've been on the go all day.
"If I'm on my own I always tend to make a quick and easy meal and settle down to watch something entertaining or I'll get on the laptop and catch up with comedies."
"I think it's such a bonus that healthy,tasty convenience meals now mean you can relax about eating good food without having to worry about preparation time."
