Greeks, others of the Eastern Mediterranean, and many of those from South America normally stand close together when they talk, often moving their faces even closer as they warm up in a conversation. North Americans find this awkward and often back away a few inches. Studies have found that they tend to feel most comfortable at about 21 inches apart. In much of Asia and Africa, there is even more space between two speakers in conversation. This greater space subtly lends an air of dignity and respect. This matter of space is nearly always unconscious, but it is interesting to observe.
This difference applies also to the closeness with which people sit together, the extent which they lean over one another in conversation, how they move as they argue, or make an emphatic point. In the United States, for example, people try to keep their bodies apart even in a crowded elevator; in Paris they take it as it comes!
Although North Americans have a relatively wide "comfortable zone" for talking, they communicate, a great deal with their hands—not only with gestures but also with touch. They put a sympathetic hand on a person's shoulder to demonstrate warmth of feeling or an arm around him in sympathy; they nudge a man in the ribs to emphasize a funny story; they pat an arm in reassurance or stroke a child's head in affection, they readily take someone's arm to help him across a street or direct him along an unfamiliar route. To many people—especially those from Asia or the Moslem countries—such bodily contact is unwelcome, especially if inadvertently done with the left hand. (The left hand carries no special significance in the U.S. Many Americans are simply left handed and use that hand more. )
In terms of bodily distance, North Americans ______.
A．are similar to South Americans
B．stand farthest apart
C．feel ill at ease when too close
D．move nearer during conversations
Grandma Moses is among the most famous twentieth-century painters of the United States， yet she had only just begun painting in her late seventies. As
she once said of herself： “I would never sit back in a rocking-chair， waiting for someone to help me.”
She was born on a farm in New York State. At twelve she left home and was in a service until
at twentyseven， she married Thomas Moses， the tenant of hers. They farmed most of their lives.
She had ten children， of whom five survived; her husband died in 1928.
Grandma Moses painted a little as a child and made embroidery pictures as a hobby， but only
changed to oils in old age because her hands had become too stiff to sew and she wanted to keep
busy and pass the time. Her pictures were first sold at an exhibition， and were soon noticed by a
businessman who bought everything she painted. Three of the pictures were shown in the Museum
of Modern Art， and in 1940 she had her first exhibition in New York. Between the 1930‘s and her death
she produced some 2，000 pictures： careful and lively pictures of the country life she had known， with a wonderful sense
of color and form.
Which of the following would be the best title for the passage？
A. Grandma Moses
B. The Children of Grandma Moses
C. Grandma Moses： Her Best Pictures
D. Grandma Moses and Her First Exhibition
Cheating is, of course, nothing new. But today,educators are finding that cheating on the part of students hasbecome more frequent than in the past. Whether it is copying a friend&39;s homework, using a preparedsheeton an exam, stealing advance copies of a final, writing down rules in one’s hand, or paying someone else to write a term paper, cheating appearsto have gained acceptance among agrowing number of studentsbetween 13 and 19.
In a 1978 study of cheating at twenty-two high schools in Georgia, it was found that cheating was common among good and poor students alike — although both boys and girls said they thought boys cheatedmore.
Why is student cheating on the rise？ No one really knows. Some blame cheating on a general loss of good values among today&39;s youth. They point to facts showing increaseddamageof public thin gs and school stealing and think that reports, such as Watergate have disappointed youth about the honesty of people in higher positions.
Others think that today&39;s youth are far more practical than their forefathers. In the late sixties and e arly seventies, students were filled with imaginations about changing the world, but today&39;s students feel great stressto succeed.

Questionsare based on the following passage．
Workers with skills in science， technology， engineering， and mathematics （STEM） are among the mmost in demand and highest paid．They are seen as key drivers of problem-solving and economic growth， who will help shape the future．And most of them are men．Nadya Fouad， a professor of educational psychology at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee， and her colleagues surveyed more than 5，000 women who had graduated from some of the top universities with engineering degrees over the past six decades．They found that 40 percent had either quit the field or never entered the profession in the first place．For more than two decades， women have accounted for about 20 percent of all engineering degrees．Yet fewer than 11 percent of all engineers are women．For the most part， Fouad found that what really pushed women out were uncivil workplace climates， the expectation to put in long hours of face time in the office， and the feeling that there was little opportunity to advance．Of the women who left the field less than five years ago， two-thirds pursued better opportunities in other fields——72 percent became either managers or executives．One-third said they stayed home with children because their companies didn"t settle work-life conflicts．
It is not about making the women more confident or anything．It"s really about the climate in the workplace， Fouad said．Even women who are staying consider leaving because they don"t have superior support．They don"t have training and development opportunities．And their colleagues are not civil to them， look down upon them， or talk behind their backs．The fmdings add weight and context to previous looks at why more women don"t go into or don"t stay in STEM fields．The previous studies tend
to explain that women aren"t "naturally" smart enough， and that these are careers for men．Furthermore， Fouad makes recommendations to create a good work environment．The problem should be recognized that women aren"t leaving just because they want to spend time with their children．They"re leaving because of the difficult workplace climate and lack of opportunity to advance．The company， starting from the managers， is supposed to invest in professional training which is beneficial to the women"s development and advance．
It is commonly believed that STEM workers__________． 查看材料
A.receive less salary compared with their skills
B.are helpful to promote economic development
C.are more than in demand
D.resolve driving problems
