2．We Chinese are not big huggers．A handshake or a pat on the shoulder is enough to express our friendship or affection （love） to one another．So when our newly-acquainted Western friends reach out in preparation for a hug，some of us feel awkward．Many questions go through our head．Where should I put my arms？Under their armpits or around their neck？What distance should I keep？Should our chests touch？
It's even more difficult with friends from some European countries．Should I kiss them on the cheek while hugging？Which side？Or is it both cheeks？Which side should I start on？
But it isn't just people from cultures that are conservative（保守的） in expressing physical contact who find hugging confusing．Hugs can cause discomfort or even distress（pain） in people who value their personal space．
In a recent article for The Wall Street Journal，US psychologist Peggy Drexler said that although the US remains a"medium touch"culture，Americans do seem to be hugging more．From politicians to celebrities（famous people），hugs are given to friends，strangers and enemies alike； whether they are willing or not； and the public has been quick to pick up the practice．
Public figures know that nothing expresses likeability（親和力）like a good hug．US First Lady Michelle Obama has put her arms around icy foreign leaders like Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev and the Queen of England on the latter occasion actually breaking the rule of royal manners．
But not all are grateful to be embraced（hugged），even by the most influential and famous．To them，any hug is offensive（冒犯的） if it's not sincere．
Amanda Hess，writing for US magazine Slate，says public figures should stop imposing（強加） hugs on everyone they meet．For them，a hug is rarely a gesture of sincere fellowship，compassion or affection．It's all part of a show．Hugs are falsely intimate power plays used by public figures to establish their social dominance（主導） over those in their grasp．
Cecilia Walden，a British journalist writing for The Telegraph who lives in New York，holds the same opinion．"Power-hugging"，as she calls it，is"an offender dressed up as kindness"．It has become a fashion in the US where"bosses are already embracing their staff （either shortly before or after firing them），men and women，their friends or enemies，in a thousand cheating displays of unity"．
32．From the first third paragraphs，we can see thatB．
A．we Chinese people don't know how to hug
B hugs can bring pressure to people when used improperly
C．people from European countries often get puzzled about hugging
D．people in Western countries seldom use hugs to express their physical closeness
33．The example of US first lady Michelle Obama is given to show thatD．
A．hugs are forbidden in England
B．she is much liked by American people
C．Americans hold a"medium touch"culture
D．public figures know hugging functions well in public
34．Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined phrase"pick up the practice"？A
A．Follow the trend．
B．Enjoy the medium touch culture．
C．Give hugs to enemies．
D．Resist physical touch．
35．What can be the best title of this passage？A
A．Hugs，tricky affair？
B．Hugs，vital or not？
C．Hugs and public figures       
D．Hugs and power．

分析 本文屬于說明文閱讀，作者通過這篇文章向我們介紹了擁抱的作用，而公眾人物深知沒什么能比一個誠意十足的擁抱更能展現親和力了．

解答 32．B  細節(jié)理解題．根據文章第一段的句子"So when our newly-acquainted Western friends reach out in preparation for a hug，some of us feel awkward．"可知不恰當的擁抱使人倍感壓力．故選B．
33．D  細節(jié)理解題．根據第四段的句子"Public figures know that nothing projects like the ability as a good hug．"可知公眾人物深知沒什么能比一個誠意十足的擁抱更能展現親和力了．故選D．
34．A  詞義猜測題．根據第三段From politicians to celebrities（famous people），hugs are given to friends，strangers and enemies alike； whether they are willing or not； and the public has been quick to pick up the practice．可知從政治家到名人，擁抱是給朋友、陌生人和敵人，不管他們愿意與否，人們也迅速跟風．故選A．
35．A  主旨大意題．根據短文內容可知文章主要介紹的是擁抱這種社會禮儀已經被有的人利用，變味了．故選A．

點評 考查學生的細節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力．做細節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句，和題干進行比較，再做出正確選擇．在做推理判斷題時不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實，要根據文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷．

17．One of the newest taboos （禁忌） in American society is the topic of fat．Unlike many other taboos，fat is a topic that America talk about often．It is not taboo to talk about fat； it's taboo to be fat．
The"in"look is thin．In the work world，most companies prefer youthful-looking，slim executives to sell their image and their products to the public．The thin look is associated with youth，vigor and success．The fat person，on the other hand，is thought of as lazy and lacking in energy，self-discipline and self-respect．After all，people think，how can people who care about themselves，and therefore the way they look，allow themselves to become fat？In an image conscious society like the U．S．，fat is"out"．
It is not surprising，then，that millions of Americans have become obsessed （著迷）with staying slim and"in shape"．The pursuit of youthful physical appearance is not，however，the only reason for America's obsession with diet and exercise．
Recent research has shown the great importance of diet and exercise for personal health．As in most technologically developed nations，the life-style of North Americans has changed very quickly during the course of last century．Modern machines do all the physical labor that people were once forced to do by hand．Cars and buses transport us quickly from point to point．As the result of inactivity and disuse，people's bodies can easily become weak and vulnerable to disease．In an effort to avoid such a fate，millions of Americans are spending more of their time exercising．
The effects of this new appreciation of the importance of exercise is clear：parks are filled with joggers and bicyclists，physical education programs are enjoying a newly-founded fame and many companies are providing exercise equipment for their employees to use during the work day．
32．In the United States，fat is somethingA．
A．people always talk about
B．not regarded as a taboo topic
C．people usually pay no attention to
D．belonging to the same treatment as other taboos
33．What do Americans think of thin people？B
A．Their work helps them to look youthful
B．They are energetic and successful．
C．Their appearances affects their behavior
D．They are lacking in self-discipline．
34．According to Paragraph 4，which of the following is an example of"inactivity？C
A．Mary does her housework by hand．
B．Celia takes part in a marathon
C．Cecilia goes to her office by car．
D．Margaret plays badminton every Saturday．
35．Why are parks filled with joggers and bicyclists？D
A．Because these parks are fit for sports．
B．Because people are enjoying prestigious status in parks．
C．Because people are taking part in physical education programs．
D．Because people now recognize they should do more exercise．

14．Anger often makes us uncomfortable．When you find your anger uncomfortable to process，please let it go．But remember to create a healthy anger in your children is to practice creating a healthy anger in yourself．Once you're better at experiencing anger and expressing it in a healthy way，you'll be able to model a good style of anger for your kids．
Some kids deal with anger by creating a"false self'：a child who is perfect for their parents．People who have developed a false self are often passive aggressive and seem shallow because they've hid away all the feelings with depth and character．
  Ho w do we keep kids from creating false selves We need to raise them in an
e nvironment where it's safe to express feelings．Once you feel more comfortable with your own anger，you can teach your children why anger is a helpful emotion．When your kid expresses anger，help them examine what it is that has made them angry．Why did it make them angry How did it do that Then，you can teach them that while emotions are never wrong and are always valid，our expressions of our emotions are within our control．
  People who are afraid of their own anger will never learn how to listen to what their anger is trying to tell them．Instead of teaching our kids that their anger is wrong，that"happy families"are never angry，or that all feelings of anger lead to violence and fear，we can teach our children that anger is OK．Anger is natural，it is normal，and it can be experienced and expressed in a healthy way．
