    阅读理解

    　　As a Fulbright(富布莱特法案基金)scholar at Yale, I wanted very much to get some individual help from some famous professors, but their office-hours were only once a week and there were always students waiting outside．At first, I was too polite to get their help．Then I realized that Chinese politeness does not work in this society．I needed to be aggressive(好胜的)to get what I wanted．I also noticed that Chinese students or Asian students were very polite in class while American students often interrupted the professor, asking questions and dominating the discussion．The Chinese students were not as aggressive as American students．

    　　I was impressed by the role of the professor in the class．The professor didn't act as an authority(权威), giving final conclusions, but as a researcher looking for answers to questions together with the students．One linguistic feature of his interacting with his students was that he used many modal(情态)verbs-far more than I did in Beiwai．When answering questions, he usually said：“this is my personal opinion and it could be wrong．It would be a good idea if you could read the book I mentioned the other day．” Or,“ You may find the book I recommended helpful．” Or,“You could be right, but you might find this point of view also interesting．” When making comments in students'performances, the professor usually said：” It might have been much clearer if you had taken in some of the ideas we discussed earlier this semester．”

    　　In China, authorities are always supposed to give wise decisions and correct directions．Therefore students always expect the professor to give an answer to the question．I still remember how annoyed they were when foreign teachers did not provide such an answer．Their expectations from authorities are much higher than those of American students．Once the Chinese students got the answer, they were sure about it．That is why they make far more certain statement than American students．That is why Chinese students find it difficult to use modal verbs because the function of modal verbs is to provide room for negotiation and different ideas．

    Reading Comprehension

    　　Where is that noise coming from? Not sure? Try living with your eyes closed for a few years．

    　　Blind people are better at locating sounds than people who can see, a new study says, without the benefits of vision the ears seem to work much better．

    　　Previous studies have shown that blind people are better than others at reaching out and touching the sources of sounds that are close by．Researchers from the University of Montreal wanted to see if blind people were also better at locating sounds that are far away．

    　　Twenty－three blind people participated in the study．All had been sightless for at least 20 years．Fourteen of them had lost their vision before age 11．The rest went blind after age 16．The experiment also included 10 people who could see but were wearing blindfolds(遮眼布、眼罩)．

    　　In one task, volunteers had to pick the direction of a sound coming from about 3 meters away．When the sound was in front of them or slightly off center in front, both groups performed equally well．

    　　When sounds came from the side or the back, however, the blind group performed much better than the blindfolded group．The participants who had been blind since childhood did slightly better than those who lost their sight later．

    　　Recognizing the locations of distant sounds can be a matter of life－or－death for blind people, say the researchers．Crossing the street, for instance, is much harder when you can't see the cars coming．

    　　Still, the researchers were surprised by how well the blind participants did, especially those who went blind after age 16．In another experiment, the scientists also found that parts of the brain that normally deal with visual information became active in locating sound in the people who were blind by age 11．These brain parts didn't show sound－location activity in the other group of blind people or in the sighted people．The scientists now want to learn more about the workings of brains of “late－onset” blind people．

    (1)

    The recent study shows blind people are better at telling ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    the sources of loud sounds

    B．

    the locations of distant sounds

    C．

    the direction of sharp sounds

    D．

    the distance of a sound in front of them

    (2)

    Which of the following statement is TRUE?

    [　　]

    A．

    The researchers are quite sure about the workings of brains of “late－onset” blind people．

    B．

    People who were blind before age 11 are better at crossing the street than those after 16．

    C．

    Parts of the brain of those who went blind by age 11 became active in locating sound．

    D．

    The blind folded performed better at locating sounds in front．

    (3)

    If people were asked to tell the direction of a sound from the side, who would perform best?

    [　　]

    A．

    Those who are blind．

    B．

    Those who have gone blind since children．

    C．

    Those who went blind at age 16．

    D．

    Those who are blindfolded．

    (4)

    What do we know about that parts of brain dealing with visual information are active in locating sounds?

    [　　]

    A．

    This happens in almost all the testers．

    B．

    This only occurs in the people who were blind after age 16．

    C．

    It remains nothing new to the scientists any more．

    D．

    It remains a mystery why it is so．
