填空题Tourists are frequently criticized 1 the ecological balance of Mount Himalayas and 2 chewing gum under the benches of museum and art galleries. They are also blamed for their 3 while visiting Notre Dame. My fellow tourists have reviled me for having destroyed Provence 4 . They have made a lot of complaints 5 . For instance, there have been the busier markets, higher prices, 6 restaurants, cafe tables and parking lots, 7 empty bakeries and impatient waiters. Yet, Provence began 8 over 2,600 years ago. The locals welcomed Greeks 9 , and Romans 10 viaducts and amphitheaters. But those of Visigoths, Ostrogoths and Franks brought the tourists into 11 by terrifying the inhabitants and 12 . According my observation, I would like to say a few words 13 those much blamed tourists. Most of them are amiable and considerate, and they came mostly to the towns and postcard villages in Provence in July and August just for sunshine, 14 , the food, the wine, a pleasant break from real life. I believe Provence has been 15 to tourism 16 the chateaux, gardens and monuments, and 17 concerts and village fetes in the districts.

填空题Unconsciously, we all carry with us (51) have been called "body bubbles". These bubbles are like invisible wails (52) define our personal space. The amount of space changes (53) on the interpersonal relationship. For example, we are usually more comfortable standing closer to family members than to (54) . Personality (55) determines the size of this space. Introverts often prefer to interact with others at a greater distance than (56) . Cultural styles are important too. A Japanese (57) and employee usually stand farther apart while talking than their American counterparts. Latin Americans and Arabs tend to (58) closer together than Americans when talking. For Americans, (59) in social conversation is about an arm's length to four feet. Less space in the American culture may be associated (60) greater intimacy or aggressive behavior. The common practice of saying "Excuse me," or "Pardon me" for the slightest accidental touching of another person reveals an American attitude about personal space. Thus when a person's "space" is intruded (61) by someone, he or (62) may feel (63) and react defensively. In cultures (64) close physical contact is acceptable and desirable, Americans may be Perceived (65) cold and distant. Culture does not always (66) the messages that our body movements (67) Contexts, personalities, and relationships also influence them. Therefore, no two people in any one society have the same nonverbal behavior. However, like verbal language, (68) communication cannot be completely separated (69) culture. (70) we emphasize differences or similarities, the "silent language" is much louder than it first appears.

填空题On the north bank of the Ohio river sits Evansville, Ind., home of David Williams, 52, and of a riverboat casino (a place where gambling games are played). During several years of gambling in that casino, Williams, a state auditor earning $35,000 a year, lost approximately $175,000. He had never gambled before the casino sent him a coupon for $20 worth of gambling. He visited the casino, lost the $20 and left. On his second visit he lost $800. The casino issued to him, as a good customer, a "Fun Card", which when used in the casino earns points for meals and drinks, and enables the casino to track the user"s gambling activities. For Williams, those activities become what he calls "electronic heroin". 6 . In 1997 he lost $21,000 to one slot machine in two days. In March 1997 he lost $72,186. He sometimes played two slot machines at a time, all night, until the boat docked at 5 a.m., then went back aboard when the casino opened at 9 a.m.. Now he is suing the casino, charging that it should have refused his patronage because it knew he was addicted. It did know he had a problem. In March 1998 a friend of Williams"s got him involuntarily confined to a treatment center for addictions, and wrote to inform the casino of Williams"s gambling problem. The casino included a photo of Williams among those of banned gamblers, and wrote to him a "cease admissions" letter. Noting the "medical/psychological" nature of problem gambling behavior, the letter said that before being readmitted to the casino he would have to present medical/psychological information demonstrating that patronizing the casino would pose no threat to his safety or well-being. 7 . The Wall Street Journal reports that the casino has 24 signs warning: "Enjoy the fun...and always bet with your head, not over it." Every entrance ticket lists a toll-free number for counseling from the Indiana Department of Mental Health. Nevertheless, Williams"s suit charges that the casino, knowing he was "helplessly addicted to gambling," intentionally worked to "lure" him to "engage in conduct against his will." Well. 8 . The fourth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders says "pathological gambling" involves persistent, recurring and uncontrollable pursuit less of money than of the thrill of taking risks in quest of a windfall. 9 . Pushed by science, or what claims to be science, society is reclassifying what once were considered character flaws or moral failings as personality disorders akin to physical disabilities. 10 . Forty-four states have lotteries, 29 have casinos, and most of these states are to varying degrees dependent on—you might say addicted to—revenues from wagering. And since the first Internet gambling site was created in 1995, competition for gamblers" dollars has become intense. The Oct. 28 issue of Newsweek reported that 2 million gamblers patronize 1,800 virtual casinos every week. With $3.5 billion being lost on Internet wagers this year, gambling has passed pornography as the Web"s most profitable business. A. Although no such evidence was presented, the casino"s marketing department continued to pepper him with mailings. And he entered the casino and used his Fun Card without being detected. B. It is unclear what luring was required, given his compulsive behavior. And in what sense was his will operative? C. By the time he had lost $5,000 he said to himself that if he could get back to even, he would quit. One night he won $5,500, but he did not quit. D. Gambling has been a common feature of American life forever, but for a long time it was broadly considered a sin, or a social disease. Now it is a social policy: the most important and aggressive promoter of gambling in America is the government. E. David Williams"s suit should trouble this gambling nation. But don"t bet on it. F. It is worrisome that society is medicalizing more and more behavioral problems, often defining as addictions what earlier, sterner generations explained as weakness of will. G. The anonymous, lonely, undistracted nature of online gambling is especially conducive to compulsive behavior. But even if the government knew how to move against Internet gambling, what would be its grounds for doing so?
