21、Exchange a glance with someone, and then look away. Do you realize that you have made a statement? Hold the glance for a second longer and you have made a different situation, there is a permissible time that you can hold a person’s stare without being friendly, rude, or aggressive. If you are on a lift, what stare-time are you permitted? To answer this question, consider what you typically do. You very likely give other passengers a quick glance to size them up and to assure them that you mean no harm. Since being close to another person signals the possibility of interaction, you need to send out a signal telling others you want to be left alone. So you cut off eye contact----what sociologist Erving Goffiman calls “a dimming(变暗) of the lights”. You look down at the floor, at the indicator(指示) lights, anywhere but into another passenger’s eyes. Should you break the rule against staring at a stranger on a lift, you will make the other person extremely uncomfortable, and you are likely to feel a bit strange yourself.

If you hold eye contact for more than 3 seconds, what are you telling another person? Much depends on the person and the situation. For instance, a man and a woman communicate interest in this manner. They stare at each other for about 3 seconds at a time, and then drop their eyes down for 3 seconds, before letting their eyes meet again. But if one man gives another man a 3-second-plus stare, he signals, “I know you”, “I am interested in you” or “You look peculiar(奇怪) and I am curious about you”. This type of stare often produces hostile(敌意的) feelings.

【1】 If one is looked at by a stranger for too long, he tends to feel ________.

A. depressed   B. uneasy

C. curious D. amused

【2】 If you want to be left alone on a lift, the best thing to do is _____.

A. to look into another passenger’s eyes

B. to avoid eye contact with other passengers

C. to signal you don’t mean to do harm to anyone

D. to keep a distance from other passengers

【3】It can be inferred from the first paragraph that ________.

A. every glance has its significance

B. staring at a person is an expression of interest

C. a stare longer than 3 seconds is unacceptable

D. a glance conveys more meaning than words

23、Dreaming big doesn’t mean we suddenly want to be a millionaire or become famous. That’s because “bigger” is a relative term. If we currently have no dreams, dreaming bigger might just mean a small goal that we want to reach. But even that is not always easy. So how do you start dreaming bigger?

Cultivate Confidence. To achieve big things, you have to believe that you can. Therefore, the first thing we need to dream big is to get a confidence boost. Try to remember a time when you succeeded in doing something you set your mind to. 【1】

Face Fear of Failure. The fear of doing something big can be intense. What if we fail? What then? If this sounds like you, it may be helpful to develop the belief that growth and learning are more important than success or other people’s opinions. 【2】 That way we can better enjoy the pursuit, even if it ultimately does result in failure.

Face Fear of Success. Success can mean different things to different people. For example, success might mean feeling like the odd one out in your family or friend group. 【3】 Or, it could lead to jealousy from others. But taking a closer outlook at these fears and thinking about how you might deal with them can help you move through them.

Use Your Imagination. 【4】 Maybe you imagine yourself owning your own business, having a big family, or traveling all over the world. Then does living this life feel good or authentic? Use this exercise to better understand which big dreams are a good fit for you.

Enjoy the Process. Sometimes we end up spending so much time focusing on big dreams that we forget to enjoy the process. Indeed, big dreams can help us imagine a life or a future we’ve never known. 【5】 If we don’t enjoy the process, it’s going to be tough to get there.

A．But big dreams take time.

B．We are taking control of our lives.

C．Striving towards dreams can decrease well-being.

D．It might mean more responsibility than you really want.

E．Use your experiences as inspiration and self-motivation.

F．Start by visualizing a variety of different possible exciting outcomes.

G．It can help you shift your focus to the journey instead of the end goal

24、The meaning of the word “volunteer ” may be a little different in different countries, but it usually means “one who offers his or her services.” There are many different ways in which people can volunteer, such as taking care of sick people, working in homes for homeless children, and picking up garbage(垃圾) from beaches and parks. Volunteers may work within their own countries or in other countries. They are often people with a strong wish to help those who are less fortunate than themselves. Volunteers don’t expect any kind of pay.

At the root of volunteering is the idea that one person may have the ability to offer services that can help other people. Tracy, a good friend of mine, however, recently came back from India with a ____ of what being a volunteer means. She worked for two and a half weeks in one of Mother Teresa’s homes in Calcutta. The following is her story.

“I first heard about Mother Teresa in my high school, we watched a video(录像) about her work in India and all over the world. I was so moved by her spirit to help others and her endless love for every human being that after I graduated from high school, I too wanted to try her kind of work. So with two friends I flew to Calcutta for a few weeks.”

“I was asked to work in a home for sick people. I helped wash clothes and sheets, and pass out lunch. I also fed the people who were too weak to feed themselves and tried to cheer the up. I felt it was better to share with them than to think that I have helped them. To be honest, I don’t think I was helping very much. It was then that I realized that I had not really come to help, but to learn about and experience another culture(文化) that helped improve my own understanding of life and the world.”
