第三部分：閱讀理解（共20小題；每小題2分，滿分40分）
閱讀下列短文，從每篇短文后所給各題的四個選項（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。
Ideas about polite behavior are different from one culture to another．Some societies, such as America and Australia are mobile and very open, people here change jobs and move house quite often．As a result, they have a lot of relationships that often last only a short time．So it’s normal to have friendly conversations with people that they have just met, and you can talk about things that other cultures would regard as personal．
On the other hand there are more crowded and less mobile societies where long-term relationships are more important．A Malaysian or Mexican business person will want to get to know you very well before he or she feels happy to start business．But when you do get to know each other, the relationship becomes much deeper than it would in a mobile society．
To Americans, both Europeans and Asians seem cool and formal at first．On the other hand, as a passenger from a less mobile society put it, it’s no fun spending several hours next to a stranger who wants to tell you all about his or her life and asks you all sorts of questions that you don’t want to answer．
Cross-cultural differences aren’t just a problem for travelers, but also for the flights that carry them．All flights want to provide the best service, but ideas about good service are different place to place．This can be seen most clearly in the way that problems are dealt with．
Some societies have “universalist” cultures．These societies strongly respect rules, and they treat every person and situation in basically the same way．“Particularist” societies, on the other hand, also have rules, but they are less important than the society’s unwritten ideas about what is right or wrong for a particular situation or a particular person．So the normal rules are changed to fit the needs of the situation or the importance of the person．
This difference can cause problems．A traveler from a particularist society, India, is checking in for a flight in Germany, a country which has a universalist culture．The Indian traveler has too much luggage, but he explains that he has been away from home for a long time and the suitcases are full of presents for his family．He expects that the check-in official will understand his problem and will change the rules for him．The check-in official explains that if he was allowed to have too much luggage, it wouldn’t be fair to the other passengers．But the traveler thinks this is unfair, because the other passengers don’t have his problem．
61．Often moving from one place to another makes people like Americans and Australians ____．
A．like traveling better B．easy to communicate with
C．difficult to make real friends D．have a long-term relationship with their neighbors
62．A person from a less mobile society will feel it _____ when a stranger keeps talking to him or her, and asking him or her questions．
A．boring B．friendly C．normal D．rough
63．In “particularist societies”, ______．
A．they have no rules for people to obey
B．people obey the society’s rules completely
C．no one obeys the society’s rules though they have
D．the society’s rules can be changed with different persons or situations
64．The writer of the passage thinks that the Indian and the German have different ideas about rules because of different ______．
A．interests B．cultures C．habits and customs D．ways of life
Advice to “sleep on it” could be well founded, scientists say．After a good night’s sleep a problem that couldn’t be solved the night before can often appear more manageable, although the evidence until now has been anecdotal (個人體驗的)．But researchers at the University of Luebek in Germany have designed an experiment that shows a good night’s sleep can improve insight (頓悟) and problem-solving．
“If you have some newly-got memories in your brain, sleep acts on these memories’ restructures them , so that after sleep the insight into problem which you could not solve before increases,” said Dr Jan Born , a neuroscientist (神經科學家), at the university．To test the theory, they taught volunteers two simple rules to help them turn a string of numbers into a new order．There was also a third, hidden rule, which could help them increase their speed in solving the problem．The researchers divided the volunteers into two groups: half were allowed to sleep after the training while the rest were forced to stay awake．Dr Jan Born and his team noticed that the group that had slept after the training were twice as likely to figure out the third rule as the other group．“Sleep helped,” Born said in a telephone interview．“The important thing is that you have to have a memory representation in your brain of the problem you want to solve and then you sleep, so it can act on the problem．” But Born admitted that he and his team don’t know how restructuring of memories occurs or what governs it．Pierre Maquet and Perrine Ruby of the University of Liege in Belgium said the experimental evidence supports the anecdotal suggestions that sleep can help develop creative thinking．Although the role of sleep in human creativity will still be a mystery, the research gives people good reason to fully respect their periods of sleep, they added．
65．The underlined phrase “sleep on it” in Paragraph 1 probably means ．
A．to delay deciding something until the next day
B．to get as much sleep as possible
C．to go on sleeping without being disturbed
D．to sleep till after the time you usually get up in the morning
66．Jan Born and his team carried out the experiment through _____．
A．comparison B．interview C．survey D．imagination
67．It can be inferred from the passage that ______．
A．people should sleep so long as they have time
B．sleep is the only way to solve hard problems
C．people have various periods of sleep
D．people know how sleep reconstructs memories
68．What would be the best title for the passage?
A．How Sleep Works B．Sleep Helps Solve Problems
C．No Evidence, But Well Founded D．Born’s Discovery On Sleep

Mr．Peter Johnson, aged twenty-three, battled for half an hour to escape from his trapped car yesterday when it landed upside down in three feet of water．Mr．Johnson took the only escape route―through the boot(行李箱)．
Mr．Johnson’s car had finished up in a ditch(溝渠) at Romney Marsin, Kent after skidding on ice and hitting a bank．“Fortunately, the water began to come in only slowly,” Mr．Johnson said．“I couldn’t force the doors because they were jammed against the walls of the ditch and dared not open the windows because I knew water would come flooding in．”
Mr．Johnson, a sweet salesman of Sitting Home, Kent, first tried to attract the attention of other motorists by sounding the horn and hammering on the roof and boot．Then he began his struggle to escape．
Later he said, “It was really a half penny that saved my life．It was the only coin I had in my pocket and I used it to loosen the back seat to get into the boot．I hammered desperately with a hammer trying to make someone hear, but no help came．”
It took ten minutes to loosen the seat, and a further five minutes to clear the sweet samples from the boot．Then Mr．Johnson found a wrench and began to work on the boot lock．Fifteen minutes passed by．“It was the only chance I had．Finally it gave, but as soon as I moved the boot lid, the water and mud poured in．I forced the lid down into the mud and scrambled clear as the car filled up．”
His hands and arms cut and bruised(擦傷), Mr．Johnson got to Beckett Farm nearby, where he was looked after by the farmer’s wife, Mrs．Lucy Bates．Huddled in a blanket, he said, “That thirty minutes seemed like hours．” Only the tips of the car wheels were visible, police said last night．The vehicle had sunk into two feet of mud at the bottom of the ditch．
73．_______________ is the most important to Mr．Johnson during his escape?
A．The hammer B．The coin C．The screw D．The horn
74．Mr．Johnson’s car accident happened _________________．
A．with his car standing on its boot B．while on his way home
C．partly due to the slippery road． D．because of the high speed
75．“Finally it gave” (Paragraph 5) means that _______．
A．luckily the door was opened in the end
B．at last I found the boot lock
C．he forced the boot lid open with all his efforts
D．The chance to escape lost
76．It may be inferred from the passage that _______．
A．the ditch was along a quiet country road
B．the accident happened on a snowy day
C．the bank lent Mr．Johnson a hand about his damage
D．Mr．Johnson was well treated for his injury
If you want to teach your children how to say sorry, you must be good at saying it yourself, especially to your own children．But how you say it can be quite tricky．
If you say to your children “I am sorry I got angry with you, but …” what follows that “but” can make the apology ineffective: “I had a bad day” or “your noise was giving me a headache” leaves the person who has been injured feeling that he should be apologizing for his bad behavior in expecting an apology．
Another
method by which people appear to apologize without actually doing so is to say
“I’m sorry you’re upset”; this suggests that you are somehow at fault for
allowing yourself to get upset by what the other person has done．
12-year-old might need to be shown that raiding the biscuit tin without asking permission is acceptable, but that borrowing a parent’s clothes without permission is not．
77．According to the author, “tricky” means __________．
A．simple B．complicated C．cautious D．various
78．It is not advisable to use the general, all-covering apology because _______．
A．it is only an empty promise B．it is not necessary
C．it is neither clear nor effective D．it is hurtful and insulting
79．In teaching children to say sorry ______．
A．parents should set them a good example B．parents should be patient and tolerant
C．the significance of it should be involved D．their ages should be taken into account
80．According to the passage, apologizing properly is ________．
A．a social issue calling for immediate attention B．a big problem faced by every family
C．a sign of social progress D．not as simple as it seems
