In china, it is relatively usual to ask people their age, but in the west, this question is generally regarded as impolite. This is particularly true 61 women, and even more 62 if the inquirer is a man. However, it is 63 to ask children their age, and some adults may not mind 64 either. In fact, some elderly people are quite happy to 65 their age, especially if they feel they look young 66 their age. Nevertheless, it is not very wise to ask a(n) 67 question like ―How old are you?‖if elderly people want to talk about their age, and perhaps receive a compliment on how young they look, they may easily 68 the topic themselves, and ask the other person to 69

how old they are. 70 such a situation, it is quite acceptable to discuss age 71.They normally expect to be complimented on their youthfulness, though rather than 72 that they look very old! 73 westerners do not usually ask people directly how old they are, this does not 74 that they are not interested to know how old other people

are. They may ask 75 for the information, 76 they may try to 77 the topic indirectly. Sometimes discussions about educational 78 and the number of years of working experience may provide some 79 , but this is not always the 80 .76.

9.During the Christmas shopping rush in London, the interesting story was reported of a tramp(流浪者)who, apparently though no fault of his own,found himself locked in a well?known chain storelate on Christmas Eve. No doubt the store was crowded with last?minute Christmas shoppers andthe staff were dead beat and longing to get home.Probably all the proper security checks weremade before the store was locked and they left to enjoy the three?day holiday untroubled bycustomers desperate to get last?minute Christmas presents.However ridiculous that may be,our tramp found himself alone in the store and decided to makethe best of it. There was food, drink, bedding and camping equipment, of which he made good use.There must also have been television sets and radios.Though it was not reported if he tookadvantage of these facilities, when the shop reopened he was discovered in bed with a largenumber of empty bottles beside him.He seems to have been a man of good humor as indeedtramps very commonly are.Everyone else was enjoying Christmas, so he saw no good reason why he should not do thesame.He yielded himself cheerfully,and was taken by the police. Perhaps he had had a betterChristmas than usual. He was sent to prison for seven days.The judge awarded no compensation(赔偿 )to the chain store for the food and drink our tramp had consumed.They had,in hisopinion,already received valuable free publicity from the story revealed in the newspaper and ontelevision.Perhaps the judge had had a good Christmas,too.When the tramp was arrested, he__________.

Passage FourSometimes I scratch my head when I read about the government' s efforts to improve schools:new standards and tests to be applied, strict teacher evaluations, and threats of school closures and job losses. They frighten the school employees, not to mention the students. Instead of making people unable to solve problems or try new ideas--which is what fear does to us--research on school reform strongly suggests that policy-makers should encourage school leaders to take a more humane approach. In their study on the reform efforts of twelve Chicago public schools, Bryk and Schneider found that enabling positive social relationships between the adults was the key to successful school improvement and that trust was at the heart of those relationships.Trust in schools comes down to one thing:psychological safety or safety to speak one's mind,to discuss with openness and honesty what is and isn' t working,to make collective decisions.Yet this kind of safety doesn' t come easily to schools. According to Bryk and Schneider, the adults in school rely on each other to do their jobs correctly and with integrity （正直). The challeage is that our expectations are very diverse based on our unique backgrounds.At one school where I taught, each teacher had different expectations about how much effort teachers should put into their work--a big difference between the teachers who left af~the last bell and those who worked into the evening. And when expectations are uncoasci or unspoken, it becomes impossible for others to live up to them.We also make assumptions about the intentions behind a person' s behavior. As we all Imam,assumptions are often wrong. For example, parents and teachers my think the principal taml particular decision based on his career advancement rather than hat" s best for the studeata. don't feel psychologically safe to question our assumptions and e~aecmtiatm, trust itiea am the window and our relationships suffer.51. What does the author say about the assumptions made about the intentions behind a person's behavior?
