15、n if you think some of the customs are foolish, learning them can help you to be clearly understood. In your country, is it considered polite to listen quietly to other people, without any change of expression on the face? If this is the style you have learned, perhaps you should watch two Americans

16、 talking. Notice how the person who is listening will have frequent changes of expression. The listener may also make little remarks while the other person is talking. These little remarks may be one word, like “Really?” or they may just be a little sound, like “uhhuh” or “mmm.” This is the way Amer

17、ican listeners show that they are listening in a friendly way. This is why Americans get uneasy when the listener is silent and shows no change of expression. In the American style of speaking, an unmoving face often means that the listener is unfriendly, or perhaps even angry. Sometimes people from

22、. At some point, however, we all begin to question our heroes and our need for them. This leads us to ask: What is a hero? Despite differences in cultures, heroes around the world generally share a number of characteristics that instruct and inspire people. A hero does something worth talking about.

23、 A hero has a story of adventure to tell and people who will listen. But a hero goes beyond mere fame. Heroes serve powers or principles (道德规范) larger than themselves.

24、ople. The hero lives a life worthy of imitation (模仿). Those who imitate a real hero experience life with new depth, enthusiasm and meaning.
