What distance should I maintain? Should our chests touch?But it isn't just people from cultures that are conservative in expressing physical contact who find hugging confusing.Hugs can cause discomfort or even distress in people who value their personal space.In a recent article for The Wall Street Journal，US psychologist Peggy Drexler said that although the US remains a “medium touch” culture，Americans do seem to be hugging more.From politicians to celebrities，hugs are given to friends，strangers and enemies alike，whether they are willing or not; and the public has been quick to pick_up_the_practice.Public figures know that nothing expresses fellowship or affection like a good hug.US First Lady Michelle Obama has put her arms around icy foreign leaders like Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev and the Queen of England.Pop superstar Lady Gaga is also a hug enthusiast，telling her fans that “I will always，always，try my very best to wrap my arms around you when I meet you.”But not all are grateful to be hugged，even by the most influential and famous.To them，any hug is offensive if it's not sincere.Amanda Hess，writing for US magazine Slate，says public figures should stop imposing hugs on everyone they meet.For them，a hug is rarely a gesture of sincere fellowship，or affection.It's all part of a show.语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。拥抱对于一些人来说是温馨的感情表达，但并非所有人都能接受这种亲密的肢体接触。对于一些政要而言，拥抱沦为作秀。1Chinese people don't enjoy hugs because_.A. they are conservative in physical touchBthey don't know how to hug correctlyCthey think a handshake is the best way to convey friendshipDthey feel awkward to communicate with westernersA 根据第二段第一句可知，拥抱这种肢体接触方式令那些文化背景相对保守的人们感到为难。2Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined phrase “pick up the practice” ?AEnjoy the medium touch culture.BFollow the trend.CGive hugs to enemies.DResist physical touch.B 根据第三段最后“From politicians to.pick up the practice.”可知，从政要到名流，无论愿意或不愿意都会拥抱朋友、陌生人或对手，那么大众很快就会遵循这一惯例，故正确答案为 B。3Public figures like giving hugs to_.Athank public peopleBshow sincere friendshipCexpress enthusiasmDwin fellowship or affectionD 根据第四段第一句“Public figures know.like a good hug.”可知，公众人物深知没什么能比一个诚意十足的拥抱更能展现亲和力，故正确答案为 D。4What can we learn from the last paragraph?APeople are grateful to hugs of any kind.BA hug is a gesture of friendship.CA famous person's hug is usually sincere.DAn insincere hug is a part of show.D 根据最后一段可知并非所有的拥抱都是真诚的，对于名流而言，拥抱只是一种作秀。故正确答案为 D。.完形填空When he was 5，Nicholas Lowinger visited a homeless shelter with his mother.He was_1_to show off his new light­up sneakers.But his mom warned him against doing so，_2_that these children might not have such things._3_enough，when Nicholas met kids at the shelter，he_4_realized that they were living in circumstances that were different from his own.“I saw other kids who looked just like me.The only_5_was that they were wearing_6_shoes that were falling apart.Some didn't have a pair of shoes to call their own， ” said Nicholas，now 15.“I've been_7_to grow up in a family that is able to provide me with whatever I need.A lot of kids here in the US.don't have the same_8_.”That first shelter_9_left a strong impression on Nicholas，who started_10_all the shoes he'd outgrown to local shelters.
