Pacing and Pausing
Sara tried to befriend her old friend Steve's new wife, but Betty never seemed to have anything to say. While Sara felt Betty didn't hold up her end of the conversation, Betty complained to Steve that Sara never gave her a chance to talk. The problem had to do with expectations about pacing and pausing. /gaokao/
Conversation is a turn-taking game. When our habits are similar, there's no problem. But if our habits are different, you may start to talk before I'm finished or fail to take your turn when I'm finished. That's what was happening 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 most of the talking when she met a visitor from . And Sara had a hard time cutting in on some speakers from Latin America or . /gaokao/
The general phenomenon, then, is that the small conversation techniques, like pacing and pausing, lead people to draw conclusions not about conversational style but 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. For example, a woman from the southwestern part of the went to live in an eastern city to take up a job in personnel. When the Personnel Department got together for meetings, she kept searching for the right time to break in--and never found it. Although back home she was considered outgoing and confident, in she was viewed as shy and retiring. When she was evaluated at the end of the year, she was told to take a training course because of her inability to speak up.
That's why slight differences in conversational style--tiny little things like microseconds of pause-can have a great effect on one's 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 training.
( ) 1. What did Sara think of Betty when talking with her?
A. Betty was talkative.
B. Betty was an interrupter.
C. Betty did not take her turn. /gaokao/
D. Betty paid no attention to Sara.
( ) 2. According to the passage, who are likely to expect the shortest pauses between turns?
A. Americans. B. Israelis. C. The British. D. The Finns.
( ) 3. We can learn from the passage that __
A. communication breakdown results from short pauses and fast pacing
B. women are unfavorably stereotyped in eastern cities of the
C. one's inability to speak up is culturally determined sometimes
D. one should receive training to build up one's confidence
( ) 4. The underlined word "assertiveness" in the last paragraph probably means __
A. being willing to speak one's mind
B. being able to increase one's power
C. being ready to make one's own judgment /gaokao/beijing
D. being quick to express one's ideas confidently
64.C
细节题,难题。
难在弄不清谁是S谁是B,耐心读,动笔划,从第一段得出正确答案并不难:
Sara felt Betty didn't hold up her end of the conversation
65.B
细节排序题,难题。
还是耐心读,动笔划。
S代表美国人,B代表英国人(加起来?
),S比B期待谈话间隙时间更短,又在以色列人(Israelis)说话时插不上嘴,故答案选说话嗒嗒嗒嗒的以色列人。
66.C
变态细节题,较难题。
A不符原文,B无中生有,D无中生有,C关键要理解culturally determined,由文化决定或者受文化影响。
67.A
词义猜测题,较难。
难点在于A选项的干扰作用。
原文说那位MM的inability to speak up注意别人认为她没能力,不是说她不愿意。
所以D比A好,此处用反义对比方法。

Multigenerational Families in America
Today, there are almost four million American multigenerational households (three or more generations living together) according to the new census data. Most multigenerational families fall into one of two types of family structures. One structure include families with the householder, his or her children, and grandchildren. This type of household represents two thirds, or 2.6 million, of the 3.9 million multigenerational families in he . Often in this family structure, the grandparent or older relative would have the primary caregiving responsibility for the under 18-year-old children. In such cases, these older relatives may feel particular strain on their finances, health and emotional state be cause they are older and are not expecting to care for children at this time in their lives.
Another common multigenerational structure includes a householder plus his/her own children and his/her own parents. In 2000, there were nearly 1.3 million of these types of families in the US in these households, the householder typically was not expecting to be caring for their older relative and is strained by the responsibility of providing for the food, shelter and medical needs of their older relative in addition to the daily demands of rearing children.
Multigenerational families cut across race, ethnicity and socioeconomic status. While the majority of multigenerational families in mainland US are Latino families, Hawaii has the highest percentage of such families (8.2%). here fore, in all of the US, multigenerational families are most commonly Asian, followed by Latino, then African American families.
The number of multigenerational families is expected to increase. This family structure allows families to come together to face the many trials of life, such as raising a child, caring for elders, single parenthood, and high cost of living and housing. Although the multigenerational family creates a safety network among its generations to face their obstacles as a whole, those obstacles still abound. Multigenerational families face obstacles like the inability to place the children and the elderly on health insurance policies, to obtain affordable housing, as well as to enroll the children in school.
Policies and practices nationally and in states and local communities should recognize several areas of concern for multigenerational families that need to be addressed, including legal relationship, health, education, housing and stress on caregivers.
For instance, many multigenerational families are raising children on a permanent or temporary basis. To establish a legal relationship between family caregivers other than the biological parents and the ch
