They often stand close when talking and it is common for them to touch the person on the shoulder. People often greet each other (particularly women) with light check kisses. Schedules tend to be flexible, with business meetings sometimes starting later than planned. But to be safe, be on time. Meals can stretch for hours -- there’s no such thing as rushing a meal in Brazil Lunches also can start in the mid to late afternoon Brazilians are social,4 / 10preferring face-to-face communication over mails or phone calls.In SingaporeSingaporeans shake hands when they meet and often also greet each other with a small, polite bow. Business cards should be offered and received with two hands. Arriving late is considered disrespectful. So be on time. Efficiency（效率）is the goal, so meetings and dealings often are fast-paced. Singaporeans are direct in their discussions, even when the subject is about money. Rank is important and authority is respected. This determines both people react in meetings. For example, people avoid disagreeing outright with someone with a higher rank.In the United Arab EmiratesIn the UAE, status（地位）is important, so the most senior or oldest should be greeted first with their titles. The handshake seems to be longer than elsewhere. So, do not pull away the handshake. Women should cover themselves when it comes to dress. Men also tend to be covered from neck to elbows（肘部）and down to the knees. People do not avoid entertaining in their homes, but they also hold business meals at restaurants. Touching or passing food or eating with your left hand is to be avoided. When meetings are one-to-one, if your host offers you coffee, you should refuse. It might seem odd, but it is a cultural tradition. Coffee should only be accepted if it is always set out or presented.In SwitzerlandThe Swiss tend to be formal and address each other by last name. They also are respectful of private lives. You should be careful not to ask about personal topics. Punctuality（守时）is vital, something that comes from a deep respect for others’ time. Arrive at any meeting or event a few minutes early to be safe. They also have clear structure in their companies. Higher-ups make the final decisions, even if others might disagree. Neat, clean dress is expected. The Swiss follow formal table manners. they also keep their hands visible at the table and their elbows off the table. It is polite to finish the food on your plate.59.

They were told: “ You can keep all of the stickers, or you can give some to another child you don’t know. He doesn’t have any stickers,” Researchers then asked the children to step into the playroom one at a time and watched how they behaved.About two thirds of the children chose to give one or more sets of stickers to an unknown6 / 10child. The others refused to share. Researchers found that many of this second group of children had something in common: a variation（变异）in a gene known as AVPRIA. This gene is supposed to control a chemical in the brain responsible for social behavior. The genetic variant（变体）of this gene can make people a lot less willing to share.This study was published last month in the online scientific journal PLoS One. It suggested that children can be selfish-less and genetics may play a role.But social scientists point out environmental influences from home, school and the wider world may play a larger role in creating good or bad habits. Studies using brain scans have shown that when someone is being generous or is described as generous, his or her brain will give off a kind of chemical. This chemical is linked to positive feelings. “If (parents) tell a kid he is a generous person, he is more likely to act generously again than if they buy him a toy,” said Nancy Eisenberg, an Arizona State University psychology professor, to The Wall Street Journal.Social scientists also say that as people grow up and develop stronger ideas of morality （道德）and fairness, their generosity will increase.Referring to the Israeli study, Emmanuel College psychologist Joyce Benenson says to the Wall Street Journal, that even at 3 or 4 years old, “If you’ve got six packs of something, you know that giving away one isn’t really changing what you have.” Of the 136 children in the Israeli study, the largest group gave away one ticker; the second largest group gave away none. Only twenty-two children gave away more than one sticker.63. According to the article, the experiment_______.A. studied more than 100 children aged between 13 and 14B. gathered all the children in a room to watch their behaviorC. found that one-third of the children were unwilling to shareD. asked the children to share stickers with their friends7 / 1064. What was newly discovered by the experiment?A. A variation of a gene can influence people’s social behavior.B. More than half of the kids were considered to be selfish.C. Generous behavior can make a child feel good.D. Children are less generous than adults expect.65. What can we conclude from the article?A. Genes play a major role in deciding whether people are generous.B. As children grow, economical responsibility can stop them from sharing with others.C. Both genes and social environment influence whether people are generous.D. Parents could try giving toys to kids to encourage them to be generous.66. Who might be more generous according to the article?A. Those with an AVPRIA gene.B. Those growing up in rich families.C. These who receive college education.D. Those growing up in a sharing environment.(D)Directions: Read the following passages. Filling each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentences can be used only once. Note there are two more sentences than you need.A. But there’s no need for embarrassment（尴尬）B. If you want proof（证据）, turn on the sports channel.8 / 10C. However, when we grow older, we keep this system inside.D. This behavior can improve our performance on some certain tasks.E. Conducting a dialogue with ourselves might turn out to be one of the keys to human creativity.F. Psychologists call this kind of behavior as private speech -- language that is spoken out loud but directed at the speaker himselfTalking to yourself may seem a little shameful. If you’ve ever been overheard criticizing yourself for a foolish mistake or practicing a tricky speech, you’ll know the social problems it can cause. According to the well-known saying, talking to yourself is the first sign of madness（疯）.____67____ Talking to ourselves, whether out loud or silently in our heads, is a valuable tool for thought. Far from being a sign of foolishness and madness, self-talk allows us to plan what we are going to do, manage our activities, control our emotions and even create a narrative（叙事）of our experience.For example, take a trip to any kindergarten and watch a small child playing with her toys. You are very likely to her here talking to herself: offering herself directions and giving voice to her failure. __68__ We do a lot of it when we are young as a matter of fact.As children, according to the Russian psychologist Lev Vygotsky, we use private speech to control our actions in the same way that we use public speech to control the behavior of others, ____69____Psychological experiments have shown that the distancing effect of our words can give us a valuable perspective on our actions. One recent study suggested that self-talk is most effective when we address ourselves in the second person: as “you” rather than “I”.We internalize the private speech we use as children -- but we never entirely put away the out-loud version. __70__ You’re sure to see an athlete or two shouting or scolding themselves after poor performance.9 / 10Both kinds of self-talk seem to bring a range of benefits to our thinking. Those words to the self, spoken silently or aloud, are so much more than lazy talk.答案：I. Grammar21. from 22. that 23. has completed 24. cleaner 25. that/ which26. can 27. when 28. have removed 29.
