【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 stening carefully to many Japanese conversations, I discovered what my problem was. Even though I was speaking Japanese, I was handling the conversation in a Western way. A Westernstyle conversation between two people is like a game of tennis. If I introduce a topic, a conversational ball, I expect you to hit it back. If you agree with me, I don39。t expect you simply to agree and do nothing more. I expect you to add somethinga reason for agreeing, another example, or a detailed explanation to carry the idea further. But I don39。t expect you always to agree. I am just as happy if you question me, or challenge me, or pletely disagree with me. Whether you agree or disagree, your response will return the ball to me. A Japanesestyle conversation, however, is not at all like tennis or volleyball. It39。s like bowling. You wait for your turn. And you always know your place in line. It depends on such things as whether you are older or younger, a close friend or a relative stranger to the previous speaker, in a senior or junior position, and so on. When your turn es, you step up to the starting line with your bowling ball and carefully bowl it. Everyone else stands back and watches politely, murmuring encouragement. Everyone waits until the ball has reached the end of the alley（球場）and watches to see if it knocks down all the pins, or only some of them, or none of them. There is a pause, while everyone registers your score. Then, after everyone is sure that you have pletely finished your turn, the next person in line steps up to the same starting line, with a different ball. He doesn39。t return your ball, and he does not begin from where your ball stopped. And there is always a suitable pause between turns. There is no rush, no scramble for the ball. If you have been trained all your life to play one game, it is no simple matter to switch to another, even if you know the rules. Knowing the rules is not at all the same thing as playing the game.（1）The author makes all of the following arguments EXCEPT that _____.

One Monday morning, I had stopped at New York Hospital when I found a welldressed man ing over. He was waving to me. I waited until he jumped into the taxi. La Guardia Airport, please, he said. As always, I wondered about my passenger. What do you do? I am working at the hospital. For some unknown reason, I decided to ask for his help. Could I ask a favor of you? He didn39。t answer. I have a son, 16. He39。s doing well in school. He wants a job this summer. Is there any possibility that you might get him a summer job? After a minute, he said, The medical students have a research project. Maybe he could fit in. Have him send me his school records. He searched his pocket and handed me a card. That evening, I pulled the card from my pocket. Robbie, I said proudly, This could be a summer job for you. Send him your school records. He read it out loud, Fred Plum, New York Hospital. Is this a joke? he said in doubt. After I shouted and threatened (恐嚇) to cut off his pocketmoney, Robbie promised to send off his grades the next morning. Two weeks later, when I arrived home, my son handed me a letter from Plum. He was to phone Plum39。s secretary for an interview. Robbie got the job. The white coat he wore made him feel more important than he really was. As high school graduation neared, Plum was kind enough to write letters of remendation (推薦) for universities. At last, Robbie was admitted to New York Medical College. It never happened to me that a stranger should change my son39。s future.（1）The author threatened to cut off Robbie39。s pocketmoney probably because _________. was tired after a day39。s work. didn39。t earn enough money. was unwilling to work. didn39。t believe what he said.（2）It can be inferred from the passage that Plum is _________. and selfless. and careful. and helpful. and handsome.（3）What message does the passage want to tell us? stranger may change your life. must be friendly to strangers. father should be responsible for his son. may have a great effect on people.【答案】 （1）D（2）C（3）A 【解析】【分析】本文主要講述一名作為出租車司機的父親求助他的醫(yī)生乘客為他的兒子求得一份暑期工作，最終他的兒子被紐約醫(yī)學(xué)院錄取了，陌生人也可能改變你的生活。 （1）推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段中“Is this a joke?” he said in doubt. After I shouted and threatened (恐嚇) to cut off his pocketmoney, Robbie promised to send off his grades the next morning. “這是個玩笑嗎?”他懷疑地說。在我大喊大叫并威脅要切斷他的零用錢后，Robbie答應(yīng)第二天早上把他的成績寄出去。可知，作者威脅切斷了他的零用錢，是因為作者不相信羅比所說的。故選D。（2）推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中“The medical students have a research project.
