And I am one of them. Take my family s last vacation. It was my six-year-old son s winter break form school, and we were heading home

11、from Fort Lauderdale after a weeklong trip. The flight was overbooked, and Delta, the airline, offered us $400 per person in credits to give up our seats and leave the next day. I had meeting in New York，So I had to get back. But that didnt mean my husband and my son couldnt stay. I took my nine-mon

12、th-old and took off for home. The next day my husband and son were offered more credits to take an even later flight. Yes, I encouraged一 okay, ordered-them to wait it out at the airport, to earn more Delta Dollars. Our total take: $1,600. Not bad, huh? Now some people may think Im a bad mother and n

13、ot such a great wife either. But as a big-time bargain hunter, I know the value of a dollar. And these days, a good deal is something few of us can afford to pass up. Ive made living looking for the best deals and exposing ( 揭露) the worst tricks . I have been the consumer reporter of NBCs Today show

14、 for over a decade. I have written a couple of books including one titled Tricks of the Trade: A Consumer Survival Guide. And I really do what I believe in. I tell you this because there is no shame in getting your money s worth. m also tightfisted when itcomes to shoes, clothes for my children, and

15、 expensive restaurants. But I wouldnt hesitate to spend on a good haircut. It keeps its longer, and its the first thing people notice. And I will also spend on a classic piece of furniture. Quality lasts. 21Why did Delta give the authors family credits? A. They took a later flight. B. They had early

16、 bookings. C. Their flight had been delayed. D. Their flight had been cancelled. 22What can we learn about the author? A. She rarely misses a good deal. B. She seldom makes a compromise.（妥協）C. She is very strict with her children D. She is interested in cheap products. 23What does the author do? A.

17、Shes a teacher. B. Shes a housewife. C. Shes a media person. D. Shes a businesswoman. 24What does the author want to tell us? A. How to expose bad tricks. B. How to reserve airline seats. C. How to spend money wisely. D. How to make a business deal. B Facial expressions carry meaning that is determi

18、ned by situations and relationships. For example, in American culture, the smile is in general an expression of pleasure. Yet it also has other uses. A woman s smile at a police officer does not carry the same meaning as the smile she gives to a young child. A smile may show love or politeness. It c

19、an also hide true feelings. It often causes confusion across cultures. For example, many people in Russia smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even improper. Yet many Americans smile freely at strangers in public places (although this is less common in big cities). Some Russians believe

20、that Americans smile in the wrong places; some Americans believe that Russians dont smile enough. In Southeast Asian culture, a smile is frequently used to cover painful feelings. Vietnamese people may tell a sad story but end the story with a smile. Our faces show emotions, but we should not attemp

21、t to “read ” people from another cultue as we would “readsomeone ” from our own culture. The fact that members of one culture do not express their emotions as openly as do members of another does not mean that they do not experience emotions. Rather, there are cultural differences in the amount of f

22、acial expressions permitted. For example, in public and in formal situations many Japanese do not show their emotions as freely as Americans do. When with friends, Japanese and Americans seem to show their emotions similarly. It is difficult to generalize about Americans and facial expressiveness be

23、cause of personal and cultural differences in the United States. People from certain cultural backgrounds in the United States seem to be more facially expressive than others. The key is to try not to judge people whose ways of showing emotion are different. If we judge according to our own cultural

24、 habits, we may make the mistake of “reading ” the other person incorrectly.25What does the smile usually mean in the U.S? A. Love B. Politeness C. Joy D. Thankfulness 26The author mentions the smile of the Vietnamese to prove that smile can _ . A. show friendliness to strangers B. be used to hide t

25、rue feelings C. be used in the wrong places D. show personal habits 27What should we do before attempting to “read ” people?A. Learn about their relations with others B. Understand their cultural backgrounds C. Find out about their past experience D. Figure out what they will do next 28What would be

26、 the best title for the test? A. Cultural Differences B. Smiles and Relationship ”C. Facial Expressiveness D. Habits and Emotions ”C A typical lion tamer (馴獸師 ) in people mind s is an entertainer holding a whip ( 鞭子)and a chair. The whip get all of the attention, but it s mostly for show. In reality

27、, is the chair that does theimportant work. When a lion tamer holds a chair in front of the lion s face, the lion tries to focus on all four legs of the chair at the same time. With its focus divided, the lion becomes confused and is unsure about what to do next. When faced with so many options, the

28、 lion chooses to freeze and wait instead of attacking the man holding the chair. How often do you find yourself in the same position as the lion? How often do you have something you want to achieve (eg. lose weight, start a business, travel more ) only to end up confused by all of the options in fro

29、nt of you and never make progress? This upsets me to no end because while all the experts are busy debating about which option is best, the people who want to improve their lives are left confused by all of the conflicting information. The end result is that we feel like we can t focus or that were

30、focused on the wrongthings, and so we take less action, make less progress, and stay the same when we could be improving. It doesnhave t to be that way. Anytime you find the world waving a chair in your face，remember this: All you need to do is focus on one thing. You just need to get started. Start

31、ing before you feel ready is one of the habits of successful people. If you have somewhere you want to go, something you want to accomplish, someone you want to become .take immediate action. If youre clear about where you want to go, the rest of the world will either help you get there or get out t

32、he way . 29. Why does the lion tamer use a chair? A. To trick the lion. B. To show off his skill . C. To get ready for a fight. D. To entertain the audience. 30.
