The passage mainly tells us ___________. A. how spectators disturb athletes B. how spectators help athletes C. dos and don’ts while watching matches D. some rules for sports events B Wearing ties was originally the mark of Britain39。 s most powerful classes, which made the tie itself a symbol of power and respect. And that led it to be adopted by a much larger tribe——the business tribe. You cannot wear a tie if you work with machinery. So wearing a tie became a sign that you were a man who used your brain to make a living, rather than your hands. It showed you were serious. It showed you were a professional. It meant that everyone who wanted a job in business had to wear one. It was just impossible to take seriously a man who didn39。 t wear a piece of colored silk around his neck. This is how millions of people came to be wearing ties across the world. They are part of the uniform of business. Ties offer a point of indifference, says John Milne, head of the British Guide of Tie Makers. They give a chance to say something about their own personality. So if you happen to meet a man with a very brightly colored tie, there is a good chance that he is the office joker. There is also a good chance that he will be wearing brightly colored socks. Is there a future for ties? The signs are not promising. Tie wearing seems to rare amongst the new bread of entrepreneurs (创业者 ) in the Inter and new technology industries. Many political leaders, including British Prime Minister Tony Blair, now go without ties. This shows they are men of the people——but not the people wearing ties. Up until around 1960, it was mon for men across the Western world to wear hats as part of their business uniform. That changed with the election of John F. Kennedy to the presidency of the United States. Kennedy never wore a hat——in fact his nickname was hatless Jack. Seeing that the most powerful man in the world did not have to wear a hat, millions of other men decided that they did not have to, either. Hats simply vanished across the Western world. Perhaps tieless Tony (UK Prime Minister Tony Blair) will have the same effect as hatless Jack. 60. In Britain, ties were first used as a sign to show a person39。 s ________. A. personality B. social position C. wearing style D. favorite hobby 61. In the business world, wearing a tie was necessary because ________. A. it showed you used your brain B. it showed you got a good salary C. it showed you were an employer D. it showed you were welltrained 62. The writer may hold the opinion that ________. A. Blair is the best leader in the world B. Kennedy is the best leader in the world C. millions of people will go to work without a tie D. people will wear hats instead of ties 63. The underlined word vanished in this passage may mean ________. A. sold B. washed C. appeared D. disappeared C People often talk as if shyness is a disease or mental condition that can be cured. I prefer to think of it as an emotional disability. It39。 s something we are born with and something we carry with us in our entire lives. There are too many people, however, who seem to be determined to find some way of doing away with their shyness. In my opinion, it39。 s a waste of time. I don39。 t mean that we should do nothing about it。 quite the contrary, I think we need to separate the basic fact of our shyness from our ability to take part in a social environment. Look at one of the most famous shy people of them all, Johnny Carson. This man is painfully shy, yet for decades he made a living talking and associating(交往 ) with different people every night, in front of a national audience. Carson has never done away with his shyness, but he has successfully found a way to deal with it to the extent that he could be, not just a talk show host, but a legend (传奇 ) among talk show hosts. Look also at Sally Fields, who has recently admitted her problem with shyness. This is a woman who has appeared in many films, TV shows and interviews, yet in her early years she was so shy that she turned down a lunch invitation from Jane Fonda because she was terribly afraid of meeting her. I guess that our shyness is there because each of us is born with some insecurity(不安全感 )and this insecurity prevents us from reaching out to others the way people with a more open personality do. As we grow up and bee adults, we allow our social skills to grow and develop. But we are still stuck in kindergarten or elementary school or wherever it was when our shyness took root in our soul. 64. In the author39。 s view, shyness can be explained a。
