It’s all about personal peace, which means not only an imaginary space around the body, but also the space around all the senses. People feel that their space is being violated(侵犯) when they meet with an unwelcome sound, smell or look. This is probably why a man on a crowded bus shouting into his mobile phone or a woman next to you putting on strong perfume(香水) makes you feel angry.
Whether people have had a stronger wish to protect their personal space in recent times is hard to say. Yet studies of airlines show that people have a strong desire(渴望) to have space to themselves. In a survey by TripAdvisor, a travel website, people said that if they had to pay more for some extra service, they would rather have larger seats than extra food.
Although people may need their personal space, some hardly realize it. For example, people on a bus who hold newspapers in front of their faces to read in fact keep a distance from strangers.
Go and watch a library table. You will notice that one of the corner seats will usually be taken first, because they are the farthest way. What if someone sits opposite to you? Maybe you will pile up books as if to make a wall.
Preference(偏好) for personal space are different from culture to culture. Scientists have found that Americans generally prefer more personal space than people from other cultures. In Latin(拉丁人的) cultures, however, people are more comfortable standing close to each other.
小题1:The writer mainly _________ in this article.
A.tells us how to achieve personal space |
B.explains why people need personal space |
C.introduces some knowledge about personal space |
D.argues for the importance of keeping personal space |
A.A person who has to sit next to a lady putting on strong perfume. |
B.A person who has been watched by a stranger for a long time. |
C.A person who hears strange noises when reading at home. |
D.A Latin boy who is chatting with a friend sitting close to him. |
A.People need a smaller personal space in recent times than before. |
B.People have a strong desire for personal space in recent times. |
C.There are not enough seats on the plane to meet people’s needs. |
D.Food service is better provided than seats on the plane. |
A.The space around the body is more needed than that around all the senses. |
B.If you hold newspapers on the bus, your personal space won’t be violated. |
C.People usually choose the corner seats first in a library for personal space. |
D.Different cultures share the same preferences for personal space. |

The common Chinese greeting of “Ni chi le ma?” may soon be replaced(代替) by a new greeting: “Have you cleaned your plate?”
The Clean Your Plate Campaign began on the Internet in January, 2013. It calls on people to reduce food waste. China in recent years has experienced serious problems with wasted food. CCTV reported in January that the food Chinese people waste every year is enough to feed 200 million people for a year.
Chinese people are well-known for their friendly behavior towards guests. Many even feel that they lose face if their guests have eaten all the food.
It’s important for everyone to reduce food waste. However, wasting food is still a serious problem in China. We still have a long way to go.
President Xi Jinping is encouraging people to be less wasteful, and he told Party members to cut back on wasteful holiday banquets(宴会). He said they should be more careful when spending the people’s money.
Wasting food certainly goes against what Xi Jinping calls, “the Chinese tradition of being hardworking and thrifty(节俭).” Having a “clean plate” is just a traditional and important thing to do.
Have you cleaned your plate?
小题1:The Clean Your Plate Campaign calls on people to ______.
A. reduce food waste
B. be more friendly to guests
C. deal with serious problems
小题2:Which of the following is True according to the passage?
A. The Clean Your Plate Campaign began online in January, 2013.
B. Chinese people waste food for 200 people in a year.
C. Chinese guests like to eat up all the food on the table.
小题3:We can learn from the passage that____
A. plates must be kept clean
B. Party members like to waste the people’s money
C. it’s difficult to deal with food wasting problem
小题4:The underlined phrase “cut back on” in the 5th paragraph(段落) probably means “______
A. 增加 B. 保持 C. 减少
小题5:The passage is written to ______.
A. introduce a new way of greeting
B. encourage people to be less wasteful
C. call on people to work hard for our country
According to the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), more than 1 billion people travelled to another country in 2012. In 2012, Chinese people travelled abroad 30 percent more than in 2011. The prosperity (繁荣) of the tourism industry can also bring both our country and foreign countries great economic benefits (经济利益). Chinese people usually join large tourist groups and visit several countries in one trip.
Chinese people don’t just travel for sightseeing. The China International Travel Service Company said that all their tour trips sold out a month before Christmas Day. Stores offered discounts (打折) during that time, so shopping in Europe and the United States is popular among Chinese travellers.
In December, China is going through a very cold winter. So many people like to go to some countries in Southeast Asia because the weather there is quite pleasant.
The improvement of living standards means more Chinese can travel abroad. But many of them don’t have a sense of public manners. A report by Living Social website in March 2012 even listed Chinese as the world’s second worst tourists.
If you want to change that bad name, remember to avoid the following: littering, spitting, snatching bus seats, line-jumping, taking off shoes in public, talking loudly and smoking in non-smoking areas. Besides, we should learn some necessary manners of foreign countries.
小题1:Chinese people travel abroad not to _________.
A.go shopping | B.see more of the world |
C.go sightseeing | D.make money |
A.30% of the people who travelled abroad are Chinese |

C.More and more Chinese people can travel abroad now. |
D.Chinese are the second worst tourists in the world. |
A.litter and spit here and there |
B.jump the line and take off the shoes in public |
C.have a sense of public manners |
D.speak loudly and smoke as you like |
A.Travelling | B.Travelling abroad |

Another popular tool for finding a job is the Internet. For example, people around the world can
use the Craigslist Web site to buy things, meet people or find a job. It is said that the site can receive two million new jobs each month.
Another useful way to find a job is through a university. For example, students at the University
of Texas can go to the job center to get help. Many college students like this way better.
At times, some experts(专业人士)can also help people find a job. Susan Miller has her own company called California Job Services in Los Angeles. She says her company helps people find a job by first helping them understand their strengths, goals and interests. Then she provides them with methods to help them find the right job. So with her help, many people have succeeded in finding a good job.
