26、I was born and raised in Minnesota, the USA, but as an adult I have mostly lived in Europe and Africa. I teach cross-cultural management at the International Business School near Paris. For the last 15 years, I’ve studied how people in different parts of the world build trust, communicate, and make decisions especially in the workplace.
While traveling in Tokyo recently with a colleague, I gave a short talk to a group of 20 managers. At the end, I asked whether there were any questions or comments. No hands went up, so I went to sit down. My colleague whispered to me, “I think there actually were some comments, Erin. Do you mind if I fry?” I agreed, but I guessed it a waste of breath. He asked the group again. “Any comments or questions?”
Still, no one raised a hand, but this time he looked very carefully at each person in the silent audience. Gesturing to one of them, he said, “Do you have something to add?” To my amazement, she responded “Yes, thank you.” and asked me a very interesting question. My colleague repeated this several times, looking directly at the audience and asking for more questions or comments.
After the session, I asked my colleague, “How do you know that those people had questions?” He hesitated, not sure how to explain it, and then said, “it has to do with how bright their eyes are.”
He continued, “In Japan, we don’t make as much direct eye contact as you do in the West. So when you asked if there were any comments, most people were not looking directly at you. But a few people in the group were looking right at you, and their eyes were bright. That indicates that they would be happy to have you call on them.”
I thought to myself I would never have learned from my upbringing in Minnesota. Since then, I try to focus on understanding behavior in other cultures I encounter, and keep finding the bright eyes in the room.

28、There's one problem that Silicon Valley hasn't solved even though self-driving cars become more and more popular nowadays. That is the traffic jam. But a U.K. aeronautics and space company, Airbus Group, may find a solution. The company's branch in Silicon Valley recently announced it's been working on a secret project titled "Vahana", an autonomous flying vehicle which can be used for not only passenger but also goods transport.
Airbus' flying taxi is designed to resemble a drone（无人机）, traveling medium-length distances. Developers in France and Germany are working on an electrically operated platform that would allow the flying taxi to carry multiple passengers once between city destinations. The vehicle would initially be manned by a pilot, for no countries allow completely autonomous flying vehicles at present.
Flight tests of the first Vahana prototype（原型）are planned, in the hope of bringing the product to consumers quickly. That's about ten years sooner than another future-travel system Hyperloop One.
"I'm no big fan of Star Wars, but it's not crazy to imagine that one day our big cities will have flying cars making their way along roads in the sky," says Airbus Group CEO Tom Enders. "In a not-too-distant future, we'll use our smartphones to book a fully automated flying taxi that will land outside our front door—without any pilot.
But before you get too excited about beating rush-hour traffic, it's worth noting that the company has a lot of technological kinks to work out before the product is ready to test. The same sensor technology that allows self-driving cars to avoid accidents doesn't exist for aerial vehicles. Airbus Group isn't the only company trying to get in the autonomous air transportation game. There are a number of drone companies on the market and the Ehang 184, a Chinese passenger drone, will begin flight testing in June.
【1】What is the purpose of the Vahana?
A．To explore space.
B．To design a new type of car.
C．To reduce traffic accidents.
D．To find a solution to the traffic jam.
【2】Why would present flying taxi be manned by a pilot?
A．It may cause accidents.
B．It is operated electrically.
C．It is designed to be manned.
D．It is illegally permitted worldwide.
【3】What do we learn in the last paragraph?
A．The Ehang 184 has been tested for flight.
B．Beating rush-hour traffic is in the near future.
C．There is a long way for Airbus Group to go in solving technological problems.
D．The sensor technology for self-driving cars can help aerial vehicles to avoid accidents.
【4】What's the best title of the text?
A．A Self-driving Car is Designed.
B．Airbus May Turn Flying Taxis into Reality.
C．Airbus Joins in the Air Transportation Game.
D．A Bright Future of Autonomous Flying Vehicles.
29、In this new show, Evan Ruggiero plays guitar, sings pop standards and shows everybody his fine footwork. What makes all of these especially unusual is that Ruggiero, 24, has only one leg.
When he was a 19-year-old musical theater student at New Jersey’s Montclair State University, Ruggiero had a rare bone cancer in his right leg. Finally his leg would have to be amputated(截)below the knee.
Such a setback could have easily ended the career of a less tough person, but Ruggiero, who has been dancing since he was five, now puts the experience into his performance. His show, “The One-Legged Song and Dance Man: Volume 3”, explains how he returned to dance just 18 months after the amputation. His dance now relies on the use of a peg leg (假肢), he explains.
The secret to his surprising success, he says, was being a “stubborn” patient who refused to give up on his dance and performing studies, despite the advice of his doctor.
“It was a real setback, but after it was all over, I said, ‘You know what? I need to pick up right where I left off and continue my career,” Ruggiero said.
Ruggiero has come to view his peg leg as an instrument. “Tap dancers---they’re always calling themselves musicians, and their feet are their instrument,” he said.
Nothing that many audience members will never have seen a one-legged dancer before coming to his show, Ruggiero says he won’t shy away from the physical “weakness” his performance shows because of his condition.
“A lot of people have come up to me, and they always say, ‘You’re such a role model and an inspiration,” he said. “I’m honored when people say that, of course, but I’m just trying to get on with my life.”
【1】What makes Ruggiero’s new show unusual?
A. His own artworks B. One-legged dance
C. The use of instrument D. Song of pop standard

A. his doctor agreed he kept on dancing and studying

【3】When audience attend his performance, they may notice _________.
A. Ruggiero plays piano, sings and dances
B. Ruggiero is a dancer with the help of a peg leg
C. there are many tap dancers in the performance
D. Ruggiero pretends to be a physically normal person
【4】What’s the author’s attitude to Evan?
A. Encouragement B. Sympathy
C. Worry D. Pity
