2.More and more families have moved elsewhere because they cannot________thenoise from the neighbouring airport.

3.Social customs and ways of behaving change．Things which were considered impolite many years ago are now acceptable．Just a few years ago, it was considered impolite behaviour for a man to smoke on the street．No man who thought of himself as being a gentleman would make a fool of himself by smoking when a lady was in a room. 　　Customs are also different from country to country．Does a man walk on the left or the right of a woman in your country? Or doesn't it matter? What about table manner? Should you use both hands when you are eating? 　　The Americans and the British not only speak the same language but also share a large number of social customs．For example, in both America and England people shake hands when they meet each other for the first time．Also, most Englishmen will open a door for a woman or offer their seat to a woman, and so will most Americans．Promptness is important both in England and in America．That is, if a dinner invitation is for 7 o'clock, the dinner guest either arrives close to that time or calls up to explain his delay. 　　The important thing to remember about social customs is not to do anything that might make other people feel uncomfortable -- especially if they are your guests．There is an old story about a man who gave a dinner party．When the food was served, one of the guests started to eat his peas with a knife．The other guests were amused or shocked, but the host calmly picked up his knife and began eating in the same way．It would have been bad manners to make his guest feel foolish or uncomfortable.[单选题] "Bad manners" in the last sentence means __.

14.Have you ever argued with your loved ones over simple misunderstandings(误解)? Little wonder. We often believe we’re more skillful in getting our point across than we actually are, according to Boza Keysar, a professor at the University of Chicago. In his recent study, speakers tried to express their meanings using unclear sentences. Speakers who thought listeners understood were wrong nearly half the time. Here’s some good advice to reduce misunderstanding:　　(1)Don’t trust what you see from the listener. Listeners often nod, look at you or say “uhhuh” to be polite or move the conversation along. But it’s easy to consider these as signs of understanding.　　(2)Train the editor(编辑) in your head. If you say, “Beth discusses her problems with her husband,” it’s not clear whether she’s talking to her husband or about him. Try instead, “Beth talks to her husband about her problems.” or “Beth talks to others about the problems with her husband.”　　(3)Ask listeners to repeat your message. Introduce your request by saying “I want to be sure I said that right.” Questions like “How does that sound?” or “Does that make sense?” may also work.(4)Listen well. When on the receiving end, ask questions to be sure you’re on the same page. After all, it isn’t just the speaker’s job to make his speech understood.In the last paragraph, the words “you’re on the same page” mean that

They worked duringsummer vacations, they have had several short-time jobs, and they majored in fields that are stillpaying well, such as accounting or nursing.Even teaching is not a secure profession now.
