根据短文内容,从下框的A—F选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。
1.         
     Good communication is vital in modern society. We know that much of the communication is
unspoken. Consciously or unconsciously, we show our true feelings with our eyes, faces, bodies and
attitudes. Your good qualities can make good communication. The personal qualities include physical
appearance, energy, rate of speech, pitch and tone of voice, gestures, expressiveness of eyes, and the
ability to hold the interest of others. What should we do so that our communication will be effective?
Here are my suggestions.
2.        
     Firstly, the trick is to be consistently you, at your best. The most effective people never change
character from one situation to another. They"re the same whether they"re having a conversation with
their close friends, addressing their garden club or being interviewed for a job. They communicate with
their whole being.
3.        
     Secondly, whether you"re talking to one person or one hundred, always remember to look at them.
Don"t break eye contact while talking. As you enter a room, move your eyes comfortably, then look
directly at those in the room and smile. This shows clearly that you are at ease. Smiling is important. The
best type of smile and eye contact is gentle and comfortable, not forced.
4.        
      You should also absorb other people before showing yourself. You can"t learn anything when you
talk. When you attend a meeting, a party or an interview, don"t immediately start throwing your opinions.
Stop for a second. Absorb what"s going on. What"s the mood of the others - are they down, up, happy,
expectant? Are they eager to learn from you, or do they show resistance? If you can sense what"s
happening with others, you will be better able to reach them. So, listen before you talk.
5.        
     How do you get your energy up? Before the meeting, collect your thoughts about the goal of the
meeting - yours and the other"s. Once you go through the doorway, no longer think about yourself.
Focus on the person you are meeting to find out what he is interested in. Properly collected energy
comes across when we sincerely believe something. When you speak with energy, you are involved
with your audience and your message. You create an air of certainty. The audience may disagree with
you, but they can"t question your belief.

                                               The State of Marriage Today
    Is there something seriously wrong with marriage today? During the past 50 years, the rate of divorce
in the United States has exploded: almost 50%of marriages end in divorce now, and the evidence
suggests it is going to get worse, if this trend continues. It will lead to the breakup of the family, according
to a spokesperson for the National Family Association. Some futurists predict that in 100 years, the
average American will marry at least four times and extramarital affairs (婚外恋) will be even more
common than they are now.
    But what are the reasons for this, and is the picture really so depressing? The answer to the first
question is really quite simple: marriage is no longer the necessity it once was. The practice of marriage
has been based for years partly on economic need. Women used to be economically dependent on their
husbands as they usually didn"t have jobs outside the home. But with the rising number of women in
well-paying jobs, this is no longer the case, so they don"t feel that they need to stay in a failing marriage.
    In answer to the second question, the prospects may not be as pessimistic as they seem. While the
rate of divorce has risen, the rate of couples marrying has never actually fallen very much, so marriage is
still quite popular. In addition to this, many couples now cohabit(同居) and don"t bother to marry. These
couples are effectively married, but they do not appear in either the marriage or divorce statistics. In fact, more than 50%of first marriages survive. The statistics are unreliable because there is a higher number of
divorces in second and third marriages than in first marriages.
So is marriage really an outdated practice? The fact that most people still get married indicates that it isn"t. And it is also true that married couples have a healthier life than single people: they suffer less from stress
and its consequences, such as heart problems, and married men generally consider themselves more
satisfied than their single counterparts. Perhaps the key is to find out what makes a successful marriage
and apply it to all of our relationships!
1. What does "this is no longer the case" in paragraph two mean? 
A. It is not necessary to get married any more. 
B. Women do not need a husband any longer. 
C. Women are not economically dependent any more. 
D. Many wives do well-paying jobs outside home now.
2. Why may the prospects of marriage not be as depressing as it appears? 
A. Many people still like to get married. 
B. The rate of divorce has actually decreased. 
C. many couples would rather cohabit than marry 
D. The statistics of divorce is not quite true.
3. How do people usually feel in their marriage life?
A. They are much safer.      
B. They feel no longer single. 
C. They are more satisfied.    
D. They suffer a lot less.
4. Which of the following about marriage is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. There will be more relationships outside marriage. 
B. Many people try to get married again after divorce. 
C. Marriage has long been partly an economic need. 
D. It is a fact that most people choose to get married.

     Everybody hates it, but everybody does it . A recent report said that 40% of Americans hate tipping .
    In America alone , tipping is a $16 billion-a-year industry .Consumers acting politely ought not to pay
more than they have to for a given service . Tips should not exist . So why do they ? The common opinion
in the past was that tips both rewarded the efforts of good service and reduced uncomfortable feelings of
inequality. And also, tipping makes for closer relations. It went without saying that the better the service,
the bigger the tip .
    But according to new research from Cornell University , tips no longer serves any useful function . The
paper analyzes numbers they got from 2547 groups dining at 20 different restaurants . The connection
between larger tips and better service was very weak . Only a tiny part of the size of the tip had anything
to do with the quality of service .
     Tipping is better explained by culture than by the money people spend . In America , the custom came
into being a long time ago . It is regarded as part of the accepted cost of a service. In New York
restaurants , failing to tip at least 15% could well mean dissatisfaction from the customers . Hairdressers
can expect to get 15%-20% , and the man who delivers your fast food $ 2. In Europe , tipping is less
common . In many restaurants the amount of tip is decided by a standard service charge . In many Asian
countries , tipping has never really caught on at all . Only a few have really taken to tipping.
    According to Michael Lynn , the Cornell papers" author , countries in which people are more social or
outgoing tend to tip more . Tipping may reduce anxiety about being served by strangers . And , says ,
Mr . Lynn, "in America , where people are expressive and eager to mix up with others , tipping is about
social approval . If you tip badly , people think less of you . "Tipping well is a chance to show off ."
1. This passage is mainly about ______.
A. different kinds of tipping in different countries
B. the relationship between tipping and custom
C. the original and present meaning of tipping
D. most American people hate tipping
2. Which of the following best explains the underlined phrase "caught on" ?
A. been hated  
B. become popular  
C. been stopped  
D. been permitted
3. Among the following situations , in your opinion , who is likely to tip most ?
A.A Frenchman just quarreled with the barber who did his hair badly in NY.
B. A Chinese student enjoyed his meal in a famous fast food restaurant in NY.
C. A Japanese businessman asked for a pizza delivery from a Pizza Hut in NY.
D. An American just had a wonderful dinner in a well-known restaurant in NY.
4. We can infer from this passage that  _______.
A. tipping is no longer a good way to satisfy some customers themselves
B. tipping has something to do with people"s character
C. tipping in America can make service better now
D. tipping is especially popular in New York
