hours" are now open late into the night. And on the Internet, the hour of the day and the day of the week
have become irrelevant (不相关的). A half century ago in the United states, most people experienced strong
and precise dividing lines between days of rest and days of work, school time and summer time. Today the
boundaries still exist, but they seem not clear.
The law in almost all states used to require stores to close on Sunday; in most, it no longer does. It used
to keep the schools open in all seasons except summer, in most, it still does. And whether the work week
should strengthen its legal limits, or whether it should become more "flexible" is often debated. How should
we, as a society, organize our time? Should we go even further in relaxing the boundaries of time until we
live in a world in which every minute is much like every other?
These are not easy questions even to ask. Part of the difficulty is that we rarely recognize the "law of
time" even when we meet it face to face. We know as children that we have to attend school a certain number
of hours, a certain number of days, a certain number of years-but unless we meet the truant officer (学监),
we may well think that we should go to school due to social custom and parents" demand rather than to the
law. As adults we are familiar with "extra pay for overtime working.", but less familiar with the fact that what
constitutes (构成) "overtime" is a matter of legal definition. When we turn the clock forward to start daylight-
saving time, have we ever thought to ourselves; "Here is the law in action"? As we shall see, there is a lot of
law that has great influence on how organize and use time: compulsory education law, overtime law, and
daylight-saving law-as well as law about Sunday closing, holidays, being late to work, time zones, and so on.
Once we begin to look for it, we will have no trouble finding a law of time to examine and assess.
B. many people have a day off on Monday
C. it is hard for people to decide when to rest
D. the line between work time and rest time is unclear
B. enjoy working overtime for extra pay
C. are unaware of the law of time
D. welcome flexible working hours
B. have to obey their parents
C. need to find companions
D. have to observe the law
B. How to organize time is not worth debating.
C. New ways of using time change our society.
D. Our time schedule is decided by social customs.

variety of subjects, including children, men, careers and what"s happening in their lives. When groups of
men and women watch a movie together, the men usually end up telling the women to shut up. Men can
either talk or watch the screen-they can"t do both-and they don"t understand that women can. Besides,
women consider that the point of all getting together is to have a good time and develop relationships-not
just to sit there like couch potatoes staring at the screen.
During the ad breaks, a man often asks a woman to explain the plot and tell him where the relationship
between the characters is going. He is unable, unlike women, to read the subtle body language signals that
reveal how the characters are feeling emotionally. Since women originally spent their days with the other
women and children in the group, they developed the ability to communicate successfully in order to
maintain relationships. For a woman, speech continues to have such a clear purpose: to build relationships
and make friends. For men, to talk is to relate the facts.
Men see the telephone as a communication tool for sending facts and information to other people, but
a woman sees it as a means of bonding. A woman can spend two weeks on vacation with her girlfriend
and, when she returns home, telephone the same girlfriend and talk for another two hours.
There is no convincing evidence that social conditioning, the fact that girls" mothers talked them more,
is the reason why girls talk more than boys. Psychiatrist Dr Michael Lewis, author of Social Behavior and
Language Acquisition, conducted experiments that found mothers talked to and looked at, baby girls more
often than baby boys. Scientific evidence shows parents respond to the brain bias of their children. Since
a girl"s brain is better organized to send and receive speech, we therefore talk to them more. Consequently,
mothers who try to talk to their sons are usually pointed to receive only short grunts in reply.
B. can both talk and watch the screen at the Same time
C. think they can have a good time and develop relationships
D. have to explain the plot and body language to their husbands
to _____.
B. keep a close tie with her
C. recommend her a new scenic spot
D. remind her of something forgotten
B. Women love to talk because they are more sociable than men.
C. Men do not like talking because they rely more on facts.
D. Social conditioning is not the reason why women love talking.
B. Talking Maintains Relationships
C. Women Love to Talk
D. Men Talk Differently from Women

| Communication Principles How you see yourself can make a great difference in how you communicate. "Every individual exists in a continually changing world of experience of which he (or she) is the center". Many communication scholars and social scientists believe that people are products of how others treat them and of the messages others send them. But every day we experience the centrality of our selves in communication. A student, for instance, may describe a conflict with a teacher as unfair treatment:"I know my teacher doesn"t like the fact that I don"t agree with his opinions and that"s why he gave me such a poor grade in that class. "The teacher might say the opposite. Each person may believe that he is correct and that the other person"s view is wrong. The concept of self originates in communication. Through verbal and nonverbal symbols, a child learns to accept roles in response to the expectations of others. You establish self-image. The sort of person you believe you are, by how others think of you. Positive, negative, and neutral messages that you receive from others all play a role in determining who you are. Communication itself is probably best understood as a dialogue process. Our understanding of communication comes from our interactions with other people. In a more obvious way, communication involves others in the sense that a competent communicator considers what the other person needs and expects when selecting messages to share. So,the communication begins with the self, as defined largely by others,and involves others, as defined largely by the self. Communication occurs almost every minute of your life. If you are not communicating with yourself (thinking, planning, reacting to the world around you), you are observing others and drawing inferences from their behavior. Even if the other person did not intend a message for you, you gather observations and draw specific conclusions. A person yawns and you believe that person is bored with your message. A second person looks away from you and you conclude that person is not listening to you. A third person smiles (perhaps because of a memory of a joke he heard recently) and you believe that he is attracted to you. We are continually picking up meanings from others" behaviors and we are constantly providing behaviors that have communicative value for them. More often than not, you may have hurt someone accidentally and you may have tried to explain that you did not mean that. You may have told the other person that you were sorry for your statement. You may have made a joke out of your rude statement. Nonetheless, your comment remains both in the mind of the other person and in your own mind. You cannot go back in time and erase your messages to others. Communication cannot be reversed (倒退),n or can it be repeated. When you tried to re-create the atmosphere, the conversation,and the setting, nothing seemed right. Your second experience with a similar setting and person made far different results. | ||||||||||||||
