　　“Well,sir,”one of the men answered,“we're on the east coast here,the sun sets in the west.We can get you a sunrise over the sea,if necessary,but not a sunset.”

　　“But I want a sunset!”the director shouted.“Go to the airport,take the next flight to the west coast,get one.”

　　Every Chinese-language textbook starts out with the standard phrases(短语) for greeting people ;but as an American, I always found myself unable to speak freely when it came to seeing guests off at the door. Just a good-bye would not do, yet that was all I had ever learned from the terrible books. So I would smile nod ,bowing(鞠躬) like a Japanese searching madly for words that would smooth over the visitor´ s leaving make them feel they would be welcome to come again. In my unease, I often hid behind the skirts of my Chinese husband´ s kindness.

　　Then finally ,listening to others, I began to pick up the phrases that eased relationships sent people off not only successfully but also skillfully.

　　Partings for the Chinese include a lot of necessary habitual practice. Although I´ m not expected to observe or even know all the rules, as a foreigner, I´ ve had to learn the expressions of politeness protest(抗议，反对) at a leaving-taking.

　　The Chinese feel they must see a guest off to the farthest possible point-down the flight of stairs to the street below or perhaps all the way to the nearest bus stop. I´ ve sometimes waited half an hour or more for my husbto return from seeing a guest off ,since he´ s gone to the bus stop waited for the next bus to arrive.

　　That´s very well ,but when I´ m the guest being seen off, my protests are always useless. My hostess or host ,or both ,insists on seeing me down the stairs well on my way ,with my repeating the "Don´t bother( give the trouble)to see me off" at every landing. If I try to go fast to discourage them from following, they are simply out to the discomfort of having to run after me.Better to accept the inevitable( 不可避免的).

　　Besides ,that´s going against Chinese custom, because haste (doing things quickly)is to be avoided. What do you say when you part from someone? "Go slowly. "Not farewell or Godspeed (祝福), but "Go slowly. ". To the Chinese it means "Take care" or "Watch your step" ,or some such caution, but translated literally(照字面地) it means "Go slowly".

　　According to the passage all of the following are necessary in the Chinese partings except

　　Aseeing the guests off to the farthest point

　　Bprotesting again again

　　Crunning after the guests

　　Dsaying "Go slowly"

　　参考答案：C

　　It may be pointed out that warfare(战争) as practiced by man has no parallel in nature ,This is to say that within the more highly developed animal populations of this earth, there is not now. nor has there been similar destruction within a species(物种) itself. In fact ,one has to go to the lowliest forms of animal life, such as certain kinds of ants, to find anything comparable to human warfare. It is a curious fact that mankind appears to give the killing of his own kind a good reason by imaging that it is a "law of nature". There are now a lot of wrong ideas about the laws of nature, of which this is one of the most incorrect fateful(致命的). Political beliefs have been based upon it with results that have come near to destroying human civilization. The theory that war is a biological necessity. that it is nature´s method of controlling population believing in the survival(生存) of the strong the elimination(灭亡) of the weak, is totally wrong insupportable. Within the last century. when wars have been common all over the world ,the human population of the earth has almost doubled.

　　The main idea of this passage is

　　Awarfare is a "law of nature"

　　Bwarfare is not a "law of nature"

　　Cwarfare does not control human population

　　Dnone of the lowlier animals, except ants, practice warfare upon their own species

　　参考答案：B
