We Chinese are not big huggers. A handshake or a pat on the shoulder is enough to express our friendship or affection (love) to one another. So when our newly-acquainted Western friends reach out in preparation for a hug, some of us feel awkward. Many questions go through our head. Where should I put my arms? Under their armpits or around their neck? What distance should I keep? Should our chests touch?

It’s even more difficult with friends from some European countries. Should I kiss them on the cheek while hugging? Which side? Or is it both cheeks? Which side should I start on?

But it isn’t just people from cultures that are conservative(保守的) in expressing physical contact who find hugging confusing．Hugs can cause discomfort or even distress(pain) 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（famous people）, 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 likeability(亲和力)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 on the latter occasion actually breaking the rule of royal manners.

But not all are grateful to be embraced(hugged), even by the most influential and famous. To them, any hug is offensive(冒犯的) if it’s not sincere.

Amanda Hess, writing for US magazine Slate, says public figures should stop imposing（强加） hugs on everyone they meet. For them, a hug is rarely a gesture of sincere fellowship, compassion or affection. It’s all part of a show. Hugs are falsely intimate power plays used by public figures to establish their social dominance(主导) over those in their grasp.

Cecilia Walden, a British journalist writing for The Telegraph who lives in New York, holds the same opinion. “Power-hugging”, as she calls it, is “an offender dressed up as kindness”. It has become a fashion in the US where “bosses are already embracing their staff (either shortly before or after firing them), men and women ,their friends or enemies, in a thousand cheating displays of unity”.

1.From the first third paragraphs, we can see that ___________.

A. we Chinese people don’t know how to hug

B hugs can bring pressure to people when used improperly

C. people from European countries often get puzzled about hugging

D. people in Western countries seldom use hugs to express their physical closeness

2.The example of US first lady Michelle Obama is given to show that __________.

A. hugs are forbidden in England

B. she is much liked by American people

C. Americans hold a “medium touch ”culture

D. public figures know hugging functions well in public

3.Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined phrase “pick up the practice”?

A．Follow the trend．

B．Enjoy the medium touch culture．

C．Give hugs to enemies．

D．Resist physical touch．

4.What can be the best title of this passage?

A. Hugs, tricky affair?　　　　　　　　 B. Hugs, vital or not?

C. Hugs and public figures　　 　　　　 D. Hugs and power

My wife and I used to feel that it was impossible to be a true friend to someone whose name we didn’t know. How wrong we were! Years of Sunday-morning bus trips through the city with the same group of “nameless” people have changed our thinking.

Before the bus takes off, we all join in a conversation: where’s the silent woman who sits up front and never responds to our cheery greetings? Here she comes. Her worn clothing suggests she doesn’t have much money to spare, but she always takes an extra cup of coffee for the driver.

We get smiles from a Mexican couple as they get on the bus hand in hand. When they get off, they’re still holding hands. The woman was pregnant late last year, and one day her change of shape confirmed that she’d delivered the child. We even felt a little pride at the thought of our extended family.

For many months, our only sadness lay in our inability to establish the same friendship with the silent woman at the front of the bus. Then, one evening, we went to a fish restaurant. We were shown to a table alongside someone sitting alone. It was the woman from the bus.

We greeted her with friendly familiarity we’d shown all year, but this time her face softened, then a shy smile. When she spoke, the words escaped awkwardly from her lips. All at once we realized why she hadn’t spoken to us before. Talking was hard for her.

Over dinner; we learned the stay of a single mother with a disabled son who was receiving special care away from home. She missed him desperately, she explained.

“I love him… and he loves me, even though he doesn’t express it very well,” she murmured. “Lots of us have that problem, don’t we? We don’t say what we want to say, what we should be saying. And that’s not good enough.”

The candles flared on our tables. Our fish had never tasted better. But the atmosphere grew pleasant, and when we parted as friends—we shared names.

1.Which of the following might be the best title of this passage?

A.The Silent Woman on the Bus

B Friends of the Road

C. Going to Work by Bus

D. Different Kinds of Friendship

2.All the following statements can describe the woman except ______.

A. poor　　　　 B. warm –hearted

C. cold　　　　 D. silent

3.The underlined word “establish” in the fourth passage probably has the same meaning as ______.

A. keep　　　　　　 B. set up

C. discover　　　 D. accept

4.The woman had the same problem with her son in the way that ______.

A. they both disabled people

B. they both liked bus travel

C. they both brought interest to the passengers

D. they both had some difficulty in expressing
