30、ren as much as Chinese parents( B )Kenjis sister Ann was at the kitchen table. The table was covered with newspapers. Small bowls of paint were spread across the newspapers. Painted fans were drying on the chairs beside Ann. “What are you doing?” Kenji asked. Ann held up a plain white fan that she h
31、ad just started to work on. In one corner was a small and beautiful pink flower. “Im painting fans to sell at the fair on Saturday,” she said. Then she shrugged (耸肩). “But Im sure no one will buy them.”Kenji picked up one of the finished fans. He smiled. “I think youre wrong,” he said. “This is beau
32、tiful!” “I agree!” Mr. Sato cried. He had just come into the kitchen. “Your work is lovely, Ann!” Ann smiled at her fathers words. “Thanks, Dad,” she said. “I hope other people think so too.”Two days later Kenji and his friend Nick went to the crafts(手工制作) fair. The school gym was filled with rows a
33、nd rows of tables. Each hopeful seller had covered a table with handmade things. There were paintings, jewelry, clay pots and dishes, paperweights, colorful boxes, hats-and much more.It took Kenji and Nick some time to find Ann. She was sitting behind her table. There were only a few fans spread out
34、 in front of her. Kenji looked puzzled. “Where are the rest of your fans?” he asked. “I sold them!” she said. Kenji smiled at her. He picked up a fan to show his friend. “Oh, that fan is very beautiful!” a woman behind him said. “It is pretty, isnt it?” Kenji said, handing it to her. “My sister pain
35、ted it!” he added proudly. “Your sister is quite an artist!” the woman said as she quickly opened her handbag.60. Whats the meaning of the underlined word “fair” in the passage?A.

37、the fairC. when the fair starts D. what the fair is like(C)Pacing and Pausing Sara tried to befriend her old friend Steves new wife, but Betty never seemed to have anything to say. While Sara felt Betty didnt hold up her end of the conversation, Betty complained to Steve that Sara never gave her a c
38、hance to talk. The problem had to do with expectations about pacing and pausing. Conversation is a turn-taking game. When our habits are similar, theres no problem. But if our habits are different, you may start to talk before Im finished or fail to take your turn when Im finished. Thats what was ha
39、ppening with Betty and Sara. It may not be coincidental that Betty, who expected relatively longer pauses between turns, is British, and Sara, who expected relatively shorter pauses, is American. Betty often felt interrupted by Sara. But Betty herself became an interrupter and found herself doing mo
40、st of the talking when she met a visitor from Finland. And Sara had a hard time cutting in on some speakers from Latin America or Israel. The general phenomenon, then, is that the small conversation techniques, like pacing and pausing, lead people to draw conclusions not about conversational style b
41、ut about personality and abilities. These habitual differences are often the basis for dangerous stereotyping (思维定式). And these social phenomena can have very personal consequences.

Although back home she was considered outgoing and confident, in Washington she was viewed as shy and retiring. When she was evaluated at the end of the year, she was tol
43、d to take a training course because of her inability to speak up. Thats why slight differences in conversational style-tiny little things like microseconds of pause-can have a great effect on ones life. The result in this case was a judgment of psychological problems-even in the mind of the woman herself, who really wondered what was wrong with her and registered for assertiveness
