21、Although Americans are well known for getting down to business, Indians working in overseas teams, MNCs, and BPOs should know the importance of small talk. While Indians have a true interest in talking to Americans and getting to know them, they also hesitate to do so for some reasons. Americans engage in less personal small talk than Indians. And the topics and questions used in English vary widely based on language differences and cultural differences. Here are three things to keep in mind while you are trying to make small talk with your American clients and colleagues.
Amencans love to ask about, and then complain about the weather. They may talk about how the weather prevented them from having fun or how the weather supported their outdoor events. You can talk about the weather with them to begin a conversation. While talking, they always try to follow up on their answer by asking another open-ended question or make a statement, such as "Wow, that sounds like fun ! " or "You went to St. Louis. In which state is that?" Be creative in your questions. Feel free to ask one or two, but not very personal ones about relations. Stick to the facts or events that were already referred to.
Sometimes, some words used in India will totally confuse an American. For example, Americans use the word "weekend" instead of "holiday" for Saturdays and Sundays ( non-working days) , and use the word " vacation" or " days off" instead of " out-of-station" .
Always be interested, optimistic and happy. Talk with a smile! Vary the sound of your voice. Do not sound like a computer. If you are unsure how you sound, a good tip is to record yourself and listen to it later. Doing this helps you know how your voice sounds, and if you don't sound as you want to be heard, it may be time to work on enhancing your voice.
【1】For Indians, having small talk with American colleagues is .
A. boring B. useless C. important D. interesting
【2】What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. What Americans like talking about in their daily life.
B. How Americans usually start a conversation with others.
C. Why talking about the weather is good to begin a conversation.
D. What people can say when having small talk with Amencans.
【3】What does the underlined word "enhancing" in the last paragraph mean?
A. Lowering. B. Replacing. C. Improving. D. Examining.
【4】What’s the writer's purpose in writing the passage?
A. To prove that having small talk is not very hard.
B. To explain why Indians hesitate to talk with Americans.
C. To show the differences between Americans and Indians.
D. To tell how to make small talk with American clients and colleagues.
22、Have you ever realized in the middle of a dream that you’re dreaming? If this happens during a nightmare (噩梦), you can wake yourself up.【1】Want to fly? Go right ahead! People call this type of experience a lucid dream (清醒梦).
The key to lucid dreaming is realizing that you are in a dream. To do that, most people need some sort of signal, often called a “reality check”. One way of checking is to look at a digital clock or words on a page, look away, and then look back again. 【2】Lucid dreaming enthusiasts recommend doing reality checks multiple times every day. The idea is to get so used to doing it during the day that you do it in dreams too.
A handful of high-tech devices and even some apps promise a shortcut to lucid dreams. 【3】 The goal is for the lights or sounds to show up in the dream. Then, the user is supposed to realize, “Hey, I’m dreaming!”
【4】If the lights or sounds are too weak, the user won’t notice them. If they are too bright or loud, they’ll wake up the user. In addition, the device has to identify when the person is actually dreaming. Almost all dreams happen during a stage of sleep called REM (short for rapid eye movement). When scientists want to identify REM sleep, they attach Aurora, a headband, to a person’s head to measure brain waves. 【5】But think twice before you start saving up your allowance for a fancy headband. A recent scientific review of lucid dreaming devices found that none of them consistently produced results.
A．Another way is to keep a dream journal.
B．Unfortunately, this doesn’t always work out.
C．Successful lucid dreams involve practice and effort.
D．These devices shine lights or sounds as reality checks.
E．During dreams, it shines colored lights or play soft music.
F．In a dream, words and numbers often shift or change completely.
G．If it happens during a normal dream, you can decide what to dream about next.
23、How to be a more responsible person?
Responsibility doesn’t come at birth. It is something that is acquired as you age, go to school and progress in life. However, you can hear and see a lot of different things, both good and bad. 【1】 That’s why your sense of responsibility depends only on you. All of it depends on your own decision. Here are a few tips on how to improve your sense of responsibility.
【2】 If you make a mistake, admit it. Instead of making excuses, give the true reason why you failed. By coming up with an excuse, you actually admit to being irresponsible.
Stop complaining. Complainers are usually those who talk too much and do nothing. By always complaining about the world around you, you actually fill yourself with negativity. 【3】 Therefore, stop complaining!
Overcome postponement. The first step to success is to stop putting things off. Postponement will lead you nowhere. You’re responsible for your own future, so stop delaying now and start taking action on what truly matters. 【4】
Be consistent and stick to your schedule. Having a routine is good. 【5】 Try to wake up at the same time every day. Even on weekends, you could get up earlier instead of staying in bed until noon. This will give you some consistency. Plus, getting up early allows you to have more time for whatever you have to finish that day. Additionally, you should set a schedule for your work and personal tasks, and stick to it.
A．Actions speak louder than words.
B．Stop making excuses for yourself.
C．By being negative, you are suffering terribly.
D．You choose your own behavior, actions and words.
E．It means order and means you are on the right track.
F．The hours you wasted could have been used for better things.
G．Even though you never complain, you are obviously exhausted.

25、What’s the purpose of philosophy? Alfred North Whitehead characterized it as a series of footnotes to Plato. On the surface, we don’t seem to have __________much in the two and a half millennia since Plato wrote his dialogues. Today’s philosophers still struggle with many of the same issues that exercised the Greeks.
Compared with philosophy, science has been one long__________story since it took its modem form in the 17th century. It has uncovered the workings of nature and brought untold benefits to humanity.
__________, not all philosophers are troubled by this contrast. For some, the worth of philosophy lies in the process, not the product. According to Socrates’ statement—“The unexamined life is not worth living?”—they hold that __________ on the human statement is valuable in itself. Others take their lead from Marx—“The philosophers have only interpreted the world—and view philosophy as an engine of political change, whose purpose is not to reflect reality, but to change it. Even so, the majority of contemporary philosophers probably still think of philosophy as a route to the __________.
According to the “spin-off” theory of philosophical progress, all new sciences__________ as branches of philosophy, and only become established as separate disciplines once philosophy has granted them the essential intellectual means to survive on their own. Then, it is __________ to suppose the lack of progress in philosophy. Whenever philosophy does make progress, it creates a new subject, which then no longer counts as part of philosophy. That’s __________ its progress is masked by the constant renaming of its intellectual fruits.
Philosophy hasn’t left everything to other university departments, and still __________ plenty of its own questions to exercise its own students. The __________is that it doesn’t seem to have any definite answers. When it comes to topics like morality, knowledge, free will, consciousness and so on, the lecturers still __________a range of options that have been around for a long time.
No doubt some of the__________ between philosophy and science result from the different methods of investigation that they employ. Where philosophy relies on analysis and argument, science is devoted to data. It is __________doubted that philosophers disagree more than scientists. But arguments have loopholes(漏洞).So there is always plenty of room for philosophers to take issue with each other, where scientists by contrast have to__________what they are told.
Perhaps there is more progress in philosophy than at first appears, even apart from the spin-off disciplines. Judging from its appearances, it may look as if nothing is ever settled. But behind them, philosophy is by no means incapable of __________.
