The continual talker: The person won’t let you get a word in.5. The interrupter: They finish your sentences or try to have the advantage of you before you’re done with your story.A. How to deal with them: If it’s a person you talk regularly with, you need to train them on how to talk to you. Say: “Just a moment, I’d like to complete my thought.”B. How to deal with them: Ask the person to speak up. It is rude to stand and pretend you can hear someone when you can’t, so let them know you can’t understand them.C. How to deal with them: In a social setting, you don’t need to stay and try to talk to them. The person may be sad, or having a bad day. Just say, “It’s been nice talking to you,” and move on.D. How to deal with them: Just nod happily until you can get away. At least you get a break from talking for a while. Excusing yourself to the restroom is often the perfect getaway – unless, of course, they decide to follow you there.E. How to deal with them: If it’s really offensive, say, “I’m sorry, this topic makes me uncomfortable.” But be careful not to attack the person.F. How to deal with them: Move your body and stand with your shoulder near the person, which creates a bit of distance. Also, speak up. If you speak louder, the other person will usually back up.B（山东题型）阅读表达:阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题（请注意问题后的字数要求）。Impatient drivers, pushy people on the subway, kids shouting into their mobile phones… we see these unpleasant incidents almost every day. This is why Canadian filmmaker John Curtin’s new documentary, To Hell With Manners! The Decline of Civility, couldn’t be more timely.He puts these impolite behaviors under a microscope in an attempt to explain why we seem to have become so much ruder in recent years.Curtin travels to New York and London to record rude and sometimes not-so-rude behaviors. “I’m not actually saying that everyone is impolite. I would say we are becoming less kind to each other simply because we’re not paying attention to one another,” he said.Curtin attributes people’s indifference (冷漠) largely to the modern technology we have: iPods, cellphones and stuff like that.Montreal Gazette columnist Josh Freed, who talks in the film, agrees with Curtin. “We’ve become less human as a result of these technological advances and by the fact that, so often, we’re now surrounded by strangers,” Freed said.Curtin wanted at all costs to make sure his film was not full of older people talking about how impolite young people have become. Instead, ________. “We just live in a very rushed, stressed-out society and it’s very easy to feel you’re under pressure and you’ve got to take care of yourself.

D（湖南题型）阅读填空:阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在文后第1至第10小题的空格里填上适当的单词或短语。注意：每空不超过3个单词。We all know that language can sometimes get lost in translation. But did you know that some facial expressions may also be confusing in cross-cultural situations?According to a study by Glasgow University, Europeans look across a person’s whole face while people from East Asia focus mainly on the eyes. Researchers recorded the eye movements of 13 Westerners and 13 Easterners as they observed pictures of expressive (生动的) faces. They were asked to put the pictures into the following categories: happy, sad, surprised, fearful, disgusted (厌烦的), angry, or neutral (中性的).The team found East Asians focus much more attention on the eyes and also make a larger number of mistakes. Compared to Europeans, they tend to have a more difficult time telling the difference between a face that looks fearful as opposed to (相对) surprised, and disgusted as opposed to angry.“Westerners look at the eyes and the mouth in equal measure, whereas Easterners favor the eyes and neglect (忽略) the mouth,” said researcher Rachael Jack. “This means that Easterners have difficulty telling apart facial expressions that look similar around the eye region.”Jack said that the differences in eye movement reflected a cultural gap in the way people use their faces to express themselves. Easterners use the eyes more and the mouth less.The difference in the use of text message “emoticons” (表情符号) supports the idea. Easterners use the eyes to convey (传达) emotion, for example “^.^” for happy and “;–;” for sad. Westerners, on the other hand, use the mouth, for example “:)” for happy and “:(” for sad.The researchers said their results showed communication between people is much more complicated (复杂的) than previously thought. When it comes to communicating emotions across cultures, Easterners and Westerners can find themselves lost in translation.
