听力原文: Whether the eyes are "the windows of the soul" is true or not, it is a fact that they are especially important in interpersonal communication. In a conversation, eye contact is important because more or less eye contact can create communication barriers (32). In relationships, eye contact serves to show intimacy, attention, and influence.

Eye contact can mean different things in different cultures. In some Spanish-speaking countries, children show respect to an older person by not looking directly into the person's eyes during a conversation (33). In other countries, looking into a person's eye is expected. For example, if you don't do it in the United States, people may think that you are afraid, embarrassed, or angry (34). Too little eye contact may be viewed negative, because it may express a lack of interest, attention and even trust. "Never trust a person who doesn't look you in the eyes." In the Middle East, direct eye contact during a conversation lasts longer than in many other parts of the world (35). Some westerners who are not used to this may feel uncomfortable for they think it rude to stare, especially at strangers.

(33)

A.Eye contact is very important in relationships.

B.Direct eye contact should be avoided.

C.The less eye contact, the worse.

D.More eye contact can improve relationships.

Psychologists say the one factor that differentiates people who are creative from those wh
o aren't is belief-creative people believe they are creative. To be creative, you simply have to believe and act as it you are. Once you believe you are creative, you begin to find ideas and to imagine all kinds of probable and improbable solutions.

Here are a few techniques to help you get started looking for ideas you may already have in your mind.

Play a different role. Suppose you want to improve your company's training program. Play the role of another person: Write, from the perspective of that role. What changes that person would make. Record any interesting thoughts or new ideas.

Randomly pick something and compare it with your problem. Open a dictionary and randomly, without looking, pick a word. Force yourself to make a comparison between the problem and the word.

Suppose you are having a problem with a manager and you randomly pick the word “pencil”. You might list the characteristics of the pencil and determine how those characteristics are like your problem.

Imagine you have a magic wand (魔杖) . Consider what changes or actions you will use the wand to create, especially those that wouldn't normally be possible. After letting your imagination run, ask yourself what specific features of those wishes particularly appeal to you. Think of some feasible changes of actions that embody some of those specific features.

Think outrageously. The more incredible and divergent from conventional thinking an idea is, the greater the possibilities for new twists. A frozen- fish processor used this technique. A line of his frozen fish tasted bland and boring. He tried everything to improve the taste, including keeping the fish alive in holding tanks until he put a predator (食肉动物)in the holding tank with fish. The fish kept moving to escape the predator and they retained their vitality and flavor.

Challenge assumptions. Reserve the assumptions you make about problems. List the assumptions write the opposite. Henry Ford challenged the practice of having workers go to where building materials were kept. In order to build cars, by creating a system that brought the materials to the workers instead. With this reversal, the assembly line was born.

Be an artist. Write a poem about your job. Poetry helps give a voice to your wildest imagination, which may lead to new ideas.

Try the above methods and test if your creativity might be somewhat improved.

What does one have to be if he wants to make himself creative according to the author?

A.He should try to be as creative as possible.

B.He may set up a problem and then try to conceive all the possible solutions to it.

C.He should study all the techniques mentioned in the passage and try to use them.

D.He should play a different role from the one he plays now

听力原文:One of ray main goals in this survey course of American painting and architecture

听力原文: One of ray main goals in this survey course of American painting and architecture is to train you to see. I want you to increase your stock of visual experiences by using the slide library at least five hours a week. The library, which is maintained by the Art History Department, is located in the basement of the Art Center, and is open seven days a week.

By the end of this course, I expect you to be able to identify two thousand slides of various American works of art. Slide identification questions will appear on the weekly exam and the final. During each of the ten weeks of this course, I will show a set of two hundred slides during my lectures. You should plan on looking at each set twice in the slide library, once before the week's lectures end one after. This pattern of three exposures will improve your visual memory. Please do not remove the slides from the slide library. Doing so is a cause for dismissal from the course.

Although becoming familiar with two thousand slides may sound difficult, experience has shown me that this is the beast way to increase the visual abilities of students such as yourselves, who have never taken an art history course before.

(33)

A.The material to be tested that day.

B.The history of the slide library.

C.The use of slides in the course.

D.The outline of the course.

A. Stratus signs La Creciente exploration contract

Colombian company Stratus Oil & Gas has signed an exploration and production contract with Colombia's hydrocarbons regulator ANH for the La Creciente block in the north of the country, Canadian company Pacific Stratus said in a statement Tuesday. Stratus Oil & Gas is a wholly owned subsidiary of Gran Colombia Oil & Gas, which Pacific Stratus Ventures (TSXV: PVL. H) is in the process of acquiring. La Creciente, formerly known as Guepaje Sur, is in Sucre department, and covers 40,764 acres in San Jorge basin. The Guepaje and Ayombe gas fields are close by, so if La Creciente reaches production it will need only a 2km auxiliary pipeline to link into existing transport infrastructure, the statement said.

IBM is keeping a close eye on the region's retail sector due to the advances it has made in the last few years, regional financial services vice-president Ricardo Pelegrini told BNamericas.

"The store chain should look to this more as a business in and of itself, not just as a tag on its retail business," he said. IBM's retail area is following this industry in countries within the region, as it complements the company's financial services area to be able to improve the service offered to customers, he added.
