10、rs, chances are that it will be a second or two at most. But while this pattern may be universal, our awareness of silence differs dramatically across cultures.What one culture considers a confusing or awkward pause may be seen by others as a valuable moment of reflection and sign of respect for wha

11、t the last speaker has said. Research in Dutch and also in English found that when a silence in conversation stretches to four seconds, people start to feel uneasy. In contrast, a separate study of business meetings found that Japanese people are happy with silences of 8.2 seconds nearly twice as lo

12、ng as in Americans meetings. In Japan, it is recognized that the best communication is when you dont speak at all. Its already a failure to understand each other by speaking because youre repairing that failure by using words. In the US, it may originate from the history of colonial （殖民地） America as

13、 a crossroads of many different races. When you have a complex of difference, its hard to establish common understanding unless you talk and theres understandably a kind of anxiety unless people are verbally engaged to establish a common life. This applies also to some extent to London. In contrast,

14、 when theres more homogeneity, perhaps its easier for some kinds of silence to appear. For example, among your closest friends and family its easier to sit in silence than with people youre less well acquainted with.25.

16、rn from the text? A. A four second silence in conversation is universal. B. Its hard for Americans to reach a common agreement. C. English speakers are more talkative than Japanese speakers. D. The closer we and our family are, the easier the silence appears.28. What does the underlined word “homoge

17、neity” in the last paragraph mean? A. similarity. B. contradiction. C. diversity. D. misunderstanding.CAfter successfully banning plastic bags, officials around the world are turning their attention to something we use for only a few minutes and dispose of without a second thought plastic straws. Ac

18、cording to ecostraw.org, over 500 million plastic straws, enough to fill 127 school buses, are used just in the US each day! Too small to recycle, they choke sea creatures, pollute the sea and even enter our food chain through fish. Now, thanks to social media campaigns, the urgency to ban plastic s

19、traws is finally gaining enough attention.In February 2018, Queen Elizabeth II announced that plastic straws are banned in all royal estates including cafes and gifts shops. The royal house also decided to reduce the usage of single-use plastics such as cups, plates, and so on. UK airports followed

20、shortly after, and, in mid-April, British Prime Minister Theresa May announced a ban on all single-use plastics, including straws, and urged other Commonwealth countries to do the same.More recently, on May 17, Vancouver became the first major Canadian city to impose a straw ban in restaurants. Scot

21、land also plans to be rid of plastic straws by 2019. In the US, the officials of Miami, Seattle, Davis, San Louis Obispo, and Malibu are imposing similar measures by banning the use of plastic straws in restaurants and cafes.Many companies are also joining the fight to get rid of plastic waste. Star

22、ting this month, all 1,300 US locations of McDonalds have switched to paper straws and will only provide them to customers upon request. San Francisco-based Pizza Express, which is moving to recyclable straws by summer 2018, was encouraged to make the change after receiving a letter from a five-year

23、-old customer requesting them to stop using plastic ones.Just as Diana Lofflin, founder of StrawFree.org, puts it, “Giving up plastic straws is a small step and an easy thing for people to get started on. From there, we can move on to larger projects.”29.What does the underlined word “dispose of” pr

Officials of Vancouver.32.What can we know from Diana Lofflins words?A.We should focus on larger projects now.B.We should stop using all plastic products now.C.It is meaningful for us to stop using plastic straws.D. I

26、t is quite difficult for us to stop using plastic straws.DShopping for and choosing clothes is challenging enough. But imagine if you were unable to use your arms to do anything, or used a wheelchair.The conditions are reality for four people who became the “customers” of 15 students at Parsons Scho

27、ol of Design at the New School this year. The students spent their spring term creating clothing to fit their customers unique requirements as part of a class run by Open Style Lab, a nonprofit organization whose aim is to design functional and fashionable clothing for people with disabilities.“Disa

28、bility overlaps （关联、一致） with aging and universal design,” said Grace Jun, the director of the program. “We need to see it as part of our life cycle. Its something that we need to not only see from a human rights standpoint but also for its economic value.”“Im always looking at me being the problem a

29、nd the clothing as being OK,” said Kieran Kern, who gets around in a wheelchair. When Ms. Kern approached Open Style Lab, she was looking for a coat that would be easy to put on with the limitations of a weaker body. Her team came up with a design with a circular rod （杆） that runs through the collar

30、 and allows Ms. Kern to swing the coat across her back with one hand.“The idea of having a coat that sees the parts that make me as just parts and not as a problem that I need to solve was really liberating in an identity sense,” Ms. Kern said. “Because generally, when you have a different body, you

31、 dont really see yourself.”“I think the challenges the students faced throughout the course had a lot to do with the exchange of ideas,” Ms. Jun said. “They were able to understand that no two people with a disability are alike. Being able to design uniquely means you have to have a collaborative （合作） process. Were designing with each other, not for.”33. Wh
