    Nearly everyone is attached to water, whether it be the sea, canals, rivers or the village pond．Beautiful as it is, water should be regarded with respect as it can be hazardous. Around 300 children up to the age of ten die each year from drowning. It should be every parent’s responsibility to ensure that both he and the child can swim and that as the child gets older, he has some knowledge of life—saving and artificial respiration(人工呼吸).

    The basic rules of water safety are:

    ——don’t leave small children playing alone in water.

    ——never swim an hour before or an hour after a main meal.

    ——if it’s a danger area, find out before you start swimming where the life- guard is or where a lifebelt is available(可提供的).

    ——as children get older, try to teach them to remain calm in an emergency(緊急情況).

    ——look out for warning signs to see whether

you’re in a danger area(see under this)

    ——Be especially careful of inland stretches of water - pools, reservoirs(水庫) and dykes(溝)

　　 ——where there are often fewer people about than at the seaside.

Communications technologies are far from equal when it comes to conveying the truth．The first study to compare honesty across a range of communication media has found that people are twice as likely to tell lies in phone conversations as they are in emails．The fact that emails are automatically recorded—and can come back to puzzle you---appears to be the key to the finding．

       Jeff Hancock of Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, asked 30 students to keep a communications diary for a week．In it they noted the number of conversations or email exchanges they had lasting more than 10 minutes, and confessed to how many lies they told．Hancock then worked out the number of lies per conversation for each medium．He found that lies made up 14 per cent of emails, 21 percent of instant messages, 27 per cent of face-to-face interactions and an astonishing 37 percent of phone calls．

       His results to be presented at the conference on human-computer interaction in Vienna, Austria, in April, have surprised psychologists．Some expected emailers to be the biggest liars, reasoning that because deception makes people uncomfortable, the indirect contact of emailing would make it easier to lie．Others expected people to lie more in face-to-face exchanges because we are most practiced at that form of communication．

       But Hancock says it is also crucial whether a conversation is being recorded and could be reread, and whether it occurs in real time．People appear to be afraid to lie when they know the communication could later be used to hold them to account, he says．This is why fewer lies appear in email than on the phone．

       People are also more likely to lie in real time---in an instant message or phone call, say---than if they have time to think of a response, says Hancock．He found many lies are spontaneous（脫口而出） responses to an unexpected demand, such as: “Do you like my dress?”

       Hancock hopes his research will help companies work out the best ways for their employees to communicate．For instance, the phone might be the best medium for sales where employees are encouraged to stretch the truth．But, given his result, work assessment where honesty is a priority, might be best done using email．

Hancock’s study focuses on _______．

      A．the consequences of lying in various communications media

      B．the success of communications technologies in conveying ideas

      C．people are less likely to lie in instant messages

      D．people’s honesty levels across a range of communications media

Hancock’s research finding surprised those who believed that _____．

      A．people are less likely to lie instant messages

      B．people are unlikely to lie in face-to-face interactions

      C．people are most likely to lie in email communication

      D．people are twice as likely to lie in phone conversations

According to the passage, why are people more likely to tell the truth through certain media of communication?

      A．They are afraid of leaving behind traces of their lies

      B．They believe that honesty is the best policy

      C．They tend to be relaxed wh en using those media

      D．They are most practised at those forms of communication

It can be inferred from the passage that ________．

      A．honesty should be encouraged in interpersonal communications

      B．suitable media should be chosen for different communication purposes

       C．more employers will use emails to communicate with their employees

      D．email is now the dominant medium of communication within a company

The issue of privacy versus openness is a paradox, particularly when it comes to the American home. “Lots” or “yards” (gardens) can be large and many are not enclosed by the walls, fences or hedges so popular in other cultures. Similarly, “window treatments” frame the window. but the use of European-style net curtains to screen out nosy neighbors is rare. In the same style, first-time visitors to an American home may be proudly given the full tour; even walk-in closets and en suite bathrooms are not considered off-limits. They may also be encouraged to help themselves to a soda from the fridge. All this gives an impression of openness.

    Yet Americans do value their personal space and privacy. A Brazilian expatriate (僑民) who dropped in on her usually friendly Connecticut neighbors unannounced got the clear impression she should have called first. Similarly while a typical suburban home features large, shared areas, such as an open-plan kitchen and family room or “den”, ample private space is also allowed in the floor plan. A visit to a family home in the evening would likely find the family members dispersed, each independently watching TV, on the phone, surfing the Internet, or otherwise recharging batteries in the privacy of their own bedroom.

    American individualism, expansiveness, and abundance are expressed in lifestyle. Despite the fact that the average household size has declined over the past thirty years from3.1 people to 2.6 people per household, the average size of a new family home increased during the same period from 1,500 to 2,200 square feet.

    A common observation is just how outsized everything is. The beds are king-sized, the TVs have giant screens, the burgers are “whoppers (龐然大物),” appliances are “industrial” size. The largest popcorn or soda at the movies can be “supersized.” Closets are “walk in,” and some cars are the size of a military vehicle.

1.The passage suggests that Americans__________.

A. are rich enough to afford large size houses and luxurious electricity appliances

B. are very shy when talking about keeping their privacy and their personal space

C. would like to express their lifestyles in public to show them off

D. enjoy openness as well as individualism although they seem to contradict each other

2.Why can we say that American individualism, expansiveness, and abundance are expressed in their lifestyle?

A. Because the average size of a new house has increased during the past thirty years.

B. Because Americans often use European-style net curtains to screen out nosy neighbors.

C. Because many houses are equipped with walk-in closets.

D. Because the house size, outsized household furniture and independent living habits have proved it.

3.The underlined phrase in the passage means________.

A. filling a battery with electrical power

B. recovering your strength and energy by resting for a while

C. changing your batteries again

D. obtaining new batteries because old ones are running out

4.According to the passage, if you drop in on an American family which is usually friendly to you in the evening, you________.

A. will be deeply impressed by their family get-together scene

B. will be invited to a party which is well-prepared

C. will find family members scattered, and enjoying themselves individually

D. will be warmly welcomed even if they don’t get informed of your visit earlier
