[?x9NQ{ Passage1 %[\:
8 British food has a good reputation, but English cooking has a badone. It is difficult to explain the reason for this. Unfortunately, however,superb raw ingredients are often mined from the kitchen so that they come tothe table without any of the natural flavor and goodness.
^
AxU This bad reputation discourages a lot of people from eating in anEnglish restaurant. If they do go to one, they are usually full of prejudiceagainst the food. It is a pity, because there are excellent cooks in England,excellent restaurants, and excellent home-cooking. How, then, has the badreputation been built up?
QLH&WF Perhaps one reason is that Britain' s Industrial Revolutionoccurred very early, in the middle of the nineteenth century. As a result, thequality of food changed too. This was because Britain stopped being a largelyagricultural country. The population of the towns increased enormously between1840 and 1870, and people could no longer grow their own food, or buy it freshfrom a farm. Huge quantities of food had to be taken to the towns, and a lot ofit lost its freshness on the way.
$T{,3;kt This lack of freshness was disguised by "dressing up" thefood. The rich middle classes ate long elaborate meals which were cooked forthem by French chefs. French became, and has remained, the official language ofthe dining room. Out-of-season delicacies were served in spite of theirexpense, for there were a large number of extremely wealthy people who wantedto establish themselves socially. The "look" of the food was moreimportant than its taste.
*#1&IJPI In the 1930s, the supply of servant began to decrease. People stilltried to produce complicated dishes, however, but they economized on thepreparation time. The Second World War made things even worse by making rawingredients extremely scarce. As a result, there were many women who never hadthe opportunity to choose a piece of meat from a well-stocked butcher' s shop,but were content and grateful to accept anything that was offered to them.
r`XIn#o Food rationing continued in Britain until the early 1950s. Itwas only after this had stopped, and butter, eggs and cream became moreplentiful, and it was possible to travel abroad again and taste other ways ofpreparing food, that the English difference to eating became replaced by a newenthusiasm for it.

/+4Dq4{t) Passage2 rg+28tlDn In his typically American open style of communication, Mr. Hayesconfronted Isabeta about not looking at him. Reluctantly, she explained why. Asa newcomer from Mexico,she had been taught to avoid eye contact as a mark of respect to authorityfigures, teachers, employers, parents. Mr. Hayes did not know this. He theninformed her that most Americans interpret lack of eye contact as disrespectand deviousness. Ultimately, he convinced Isabela to try and change her habit,which she slowly did.
HX\@Qws People from many Asian, Latin American, and Caribbeancultures also avoid eye contact as a sign of respect. Many African Americans,especially from the South, observe this custom, too. A master's thesis by SamuelAvoian, a graduate student at Central Missouri State University, tells howmisinterpreting eye-contact customs can have a negative impact when whitefootball coaches recruit African American players for the teams.
ZiM#g1; He reports that, when speaking, white communicators usually lookaway from the listener, only periodically glancing at them. They do theopposite when listening they are expected to look at the speaker all the time.
.B*Yg<j Many African Americans communicate in an opposite way. Whenspeaking, they tend to constantly stare at the listener; when listening, theymostly look away. Therefore, if white sports recruiters are not informed aboutthese significant differences, they can be misled about interest andattentiveness when interviewing prospective African American ball players.
*V#v6r7<Y/ In multicultural America,issues of' Eye contact have brought about social conflicts of two differentkinds in many urban centers, non-Korean customers became angry when Koreanshopkeepers did not look at them directly. The customers translated the lack ofeye contact as a sign of disrespect, a habit blamed for contributing to theopen confrontation raking place between some Asians and African Americans in New York, Texas, and California. Manyteachers too have provided stories about classroom conflicts based on theirmisunderstanding Asian and Latin American children lack of eye contact as beingdisrespectful.
NHA
2 i On the other hand, direct eye contact has now taken on a new meaningamong the younger generation and across ethnic borders. Particularly in urbancenters, when one teenager looks directly at another, this is considered aprovocation, sometimes called mad-dogging, and can lead to physical conflict.
UT[nzbG Mad-dogging has become the source of many campus conflicts. In onehigh school, it resulted in a fight between Cambodian newcomers andAfrican-American students. The Cambodians had been staring at the otherstudents merely to learn how Americans behave, yet the others misinterpretedthe Cambodians' intentions and the fight began.
;y<)RM Mad-dogging seems to be connected with the avoidance of eye contactas a sign of respect. Thus, in the urban contemporary youth scene, if one looksdirectly at another, this disrespects, or "disses," that person. Muchlike the archaic phrase "I demand satisfaction," which became theoverture to a duel, mad-dogging may become a prelude to a physical encounter.
2n
+j. At the entrances to Universal Studio's "City Walk"attraction in Los Angeles,they have posted Code of Conduct signs. The second rule warns against"physically over bally threatening any person, fighting, annoying othersthrough noisy or boisterous activities or by unnecessary staring..."

""Drf=] Passage3 ++,mM7a When television is good, nothing--not the theatre, not themagazines, or newspapers--nothing is better. But when television is bad,nothing is worse. I invite you to sit down in front of your television set whenyour station goes on the air and stay there without a book, magazine,newspaper, or anything else to distract you and keep your eyes glued to thatset until the station signs off. I can assure you that you will observe a vastwasteland. You will see a procession of game shows, violence, audienceparticipation shows, formula comedies about totally unbelievable families,blood and thunder, mayhem, more violence, sadism, murder, Western bad men,Western good men, private eyes, gangster, still more violence, and cartoons.And endlessly, commercials that scream and offend. And most of all, boredom.True, you will see a few things you will enjoy. But they will be very, veryfew. And if you think I exaggerate, try it.
p: sn>Y Is there no room on television to teach, to inform, to uplift, tostretch, to enlarge the capacities of our children? Is there no room for programsto deepen the children's understanding of children in other lands7 Is there noroom for a children's news show explaining something about the world for themat their level of understanding? Is there no room for reading the greatliterature of the past, teaching them the great traditions of freedom? Thereare some fine children's shows, but they are drowned out in the massive dosesof cartoons, violence, and more violence. Must these be your trademarks? Searchyour conscience and see whether you cannot offer more to your young childrenwhose future you guard so many hours each and every day.
XF\`stEnb There are many people in this great country, and you must serve allof us. You will get no argument from me if you say that, given a choice betweena Western and a symphony, more people will watch the Western. I like Westernsand private eyes, too, but a steady diet for the whole country is obviously notin the public interest. We all know that people would more often prefer to beentertained than stimulated or informed. But your obligations are not satisfiedif you look only to popularity as a test of what to broadcast. You are not onlyin show business; you are free to communicate ideas as well as to giverelaxation. You must provide a wider range of choices, more diversity, morealternatives. It is not enough to cater to the nation's whims--you must alsoserve the nation' s needs. The people own the air. They own it as much in primeevening time as they do at six o' clock in the morning. For every hour that thepeople give you--you owe them something. I intend to see that your debt is paidwith service.

e<C5}#wt Passage4 sdO;vp^:b Some of my classmates in the same dorm established a chatting groupon the Net when broadband was available on campus. Then everyone faced theirown laptops and talked to each other by sending messages in the chatting groupin the same room. Their dorm was silent the whole night The only sound camefrom tapping the keyboard. Before they went to bed that night, all of themsighed and said, "that's ridiculous."
d>AVUf<o~ Information Technology brings about revolutionary changes to humancommunication. The Internet makes the world global village; that is to say, wecan get in touch with each other swiftly regardless of one's location. However,does the convenience in communication mean that we are actually getting closer?I don't think so. As the anecdote above shows, access to broadband made myfellow classmates fall in silence. The Cambridge International Dictionarydefines "communication" as "various methods of sendinginformation between people and places," while it defines"communicate" as "to be able to understand each other and have asatisfactory relationship." Therefore, the booming of IT in modem societyis only the booming of communication. Exchanging ideas and mutual understandingbetween people do not base on such booming. On the contrary, due to therevolutionary changes, we're getting farther from each other to some extent.
5cfzpOqr0 Mutual understanding is based on expression. However, expressiondoesn't necessarily lead to soul touching communication and understanding. Whenwe waffle with a mere acquaintance, we normally conceal our true feelings.Thus, we don' t establish communication with him, because we do not need him tounderstand us. The era of cyberspace further demonstrates such separation ofform and content
]&r/H17 The Internet gives us nearly absolute freedom to speak and expressourselves. With the prosperity of blog, there are, according to recentstatistics, about 400,000 bloggers in China today. Bloggers expressthemselves on the Net at their will, while others read their blog and givecomments once for a while. It seems that blog can make us touch upon thebloggers' inside world, and make us know them better. However, things are notalways that perfect.
eq@ v2o7 Many netizens are abusing their right of free expression. Once youopen the Explorer and browse a website, trash information about sex andviolence hits our eyes. People scold and flirt in the chatroom and BulletinBoard System (BBS). When blog comes into being, netizens even transfer suchvulgarity into their personal spaces, and show it to the public.
Vy/g;ZPU1 In the era of the Information Technology boom, the farthest distanceon earth is no longer the polar distance. The negative impacts brought about bycyberspace have imposed an unfilled gulf between souls. Since we cannotcommunicate to each other like before, the distance between people's hearts hasbecome the farthest distance on earth.
