答案 DⅡ.阅读填空Some children are natural－born bosses.They have a strong need to make decisions，manage their environment，and lead rather than follow.Stephen Jackson，a Year One student，“Operates under the theory of what's mine is mine and what's yours is mine，”says his mother.“The other day I bought two new Star Wars light sabers(剑)．Later，I saw Stephen with the two new ones while his brother was using the beat－up ones.”“Examine the extended family，and you'll probably find a bossy grandparent，aunt，uncle or cousin in every generation.It's an inheritable trait(特征)，”says Russell Barkley，a professor at the Medical University of South Carolina.Other children who may not be particularly bossy can gradually gain dominance(支配地位) when they sense their parents are weak，hesitant，or in disagreement with each other.Whether it's inborn nature or developed character at work，too much control in the hands of the young isn't healthy for children or the family.“Fear is at the root of a lot of bossy behaviour，”says family psychologist John Taylor.“Children，”he says in his book From Defiance to Cooperation，“have secret feelings of weakness and a desire to feel safe.It's the parents' role to provide that protection.”When a “boss child”doesn't learn limits at home，the stage is set for a host of troubles outside the family.The overly willful and unbending child may have trouble obeying teachers or coaches，for example，or trouble keeping friends.It can be pretty lonely as the top dog if no one likes your bossy ways.“I see more and more parents giving up their power，”says Barkley，who has studied bossy behavior for more than 30 years.“They bend too far because they don't want to be as strict as their own parents were.But they also feel less confident about their parenting skills.Their kids，in turn，feel more anxious.”So for the sake of the children，parents should be strict with them in a suitable way and get more knowledge to be good parents.答案 1.Bossy children 2.natural－born 3.managing their environment 4.learning limits 5.Causes/Reasons 6．(feelings of) weakness7.less confidence8.lonely and anxious 9.Suggestions/Tips/Advice10.good parentsⅢ.阅读简答According to one study，words send only 7 percent of a person's message.Intonation (语调) and voice quality communicate 38 percent，and nonverbal(not using or involving words) cues (暗示) transmit a large 55 percent.That means people pick up more from nonverbal communication than from the words a person says.When studying a foreign culture then，it just makes sense to pay attention to how people use nonverbal cues.Gestures consist of a major form of nonverbal communication.But often these gestures are culture－bound.For example，when the Maoris of New Zealand stick out (伸出) their tongue at someone，it is a sign of respect.When American schoolchildren make the same gesture，it means just the opposite.Also，Americans often indicate “OK”with their thumb and fore－finger touching to form a circle.The same gesture means “money”to the Japanese and “zero”to the French.For that reason，people in a foreign culture must use gestures with caution.Another part of nonverbal communication is the one that you might not think about—space.When someone comes too close，he feels uncomfortable.When he knocks into someone，he feels obligated (有义务的) to apologize.But the size of a person's “comfort zone”varies，depending on his cultural or ethnic origin.For example，in casual conversation，many Americans stand about four feet apart.People in Latin or Arabic cultures，instead，stand very close to each other and touch each other often.Considering the effects of nonverbal communication，we never really stop communicating.How we walk，how we stand and how we use our hands all send a message to others.That's why it's possible to “read someone like a book”．1.How does an American feel when an Arab stands too close to him? (No more than 3 words)________________________________________________________________________答案(He feels) uncomfortable.2.What does the gesture “OK”mean in Japan? (No more than 3 words)________________________________________________________________________ 答案(It means) money.3.Why do we pay more attention to nonverbal cues in a foreign country？(No more than 10 words)________________________________________________________________________ 答案Because they transmit more than the words (a person says)．4.Why should people in a foreign culture must use gestures with caution？(No more than 10 words)________________________________________________________________________ 答案Because the same gesture has different meanings in different cultures.。
