复合题Do you know that all human beings have a “comfortable zone” regulating the distance they stand from someone when they talk? This distance varies in interesting ways among people of different cultures.Greeks, others of the Eastern Mediterranean, and many of those from South America normally stand close together when they talk, often moving their faces even closer as they warm up in a conversation. North Americans find this awkward and often back away a few inches. Studies have found that they tend to feel most comfortable at about 21 inches apart. In much of Asia and Africa, there is even more space between two speakers in conversation. This greater space subtly lends an air of dignity and respect. This matter of space is nearly always unconscious, but it is interesting to observe.This difference applies also to the closeness with which people sit together, the extent which they lean over one another in conversation, how they move as they argue, or make an emphatic point. In the United States, for example, people try to keep their bodies apart even in a crowded elevator; in Paris they take it as it comes!Although North Americans have a relatively wide “comfortable zone” for talking, they communicate a great deal with their hands—not only with gestures but also with touch. They put a sympathetic hand on a person’s shoulder to demonstrate warmth of feeling or an arm around him in sympathy; they nudge a man in the ribs to emphasize a funny story; they pat an arm in reassurance or stroke a child’s head in affection; they readily take someone’s arm to help him across a street or direct him along an unfamiliar route. To many people—especially those from Asia or the Moslem countries—such bodily contact is unwelcome, especially if inadvertently done with the left hand. (The left hand carries no special significance in the U. S. Many Americans are simply left handed and use that hand more.)

复合题The process begins even before you leave the car, when you remove your gloves to squeeze a loose bail back into one of your ski bindings. The freezing metal bites your flesh. Your skin temperature drops.Within a few seconds, the palms of your hands are a chilly, painful 60 degrees. Instinctively, the web of surface capillaries on your hands constrict, sending blood coursing away from your skin and deeper into your torso. Your body is allowing your fingers to chill in order to keep its vital organs warm.You replace your gloves noticing only that your fingers have numbed slightly. Then you kick boots into bindings and start up the road.Were you a Norwegian fisherman or Inuit hunter, both of whom frequently work gloveless in the cold, your chilled hands would open their surface capillaries periodically to allow surges of warm blood to pass into them and maintain their flexibility. This phenomenon, known as the hunter’s response, can elevate a 35-degree skin temperature to 50 degrees within seven or eight minutes.Other human adaptations to the cold are more mysterious. Tibetan Buddhist monks can raise the skin temperature of their hands and feet by 15 degrees through meditation. Australian aborigines, who once slept on the ground and unclothed, on near-freezing nights, would slip into a light hypothermic state, suppressing shivering until the rising sun re-warmed them.You have no such defenses, having spent your days at a keyboard in a climate-controlled office. Only after about ten minutes of hard climbing, as your body temperature rises, does blood start seeping back into your fingers. Sweat trickles down your sternum and spine.

复合题Text 3Folk music in the traditional sense-music played or sung around the village green, music used to accompany ceremonials like harvesting—belongs to the small communities exemplified in the English village of pre-industrial times. The art music of the written tradition is too the music of the community, hut of very different kind. It stems from a leisured class or group that has time and learning to write down its music and to rehearse complex and difficult works. Originally this was pre-eminently done in the church; after the Middle Age it became more and more popular in the courts of the secular nobility of Europe. As recently as the late eighteenth century Haydn and Mozart wrote most of their music for performances in private orchestras and theatres, and hence the classical composers developed their orchestral symphonies, their chamber music and operas.During the great nineteenth century transition from an aristocratic and mainly agricultural society to the industrial age in which we live now, men and women were herded into the factories and slums; and the indigenous popular music and dancing began to die out At the other end of the scale the music of the art musicians began to be enjoyed by a wider social class, and composers such as Mendelssohn wrote for the middle-class Victorian drawing-room.In the barren and bleak environment of the nineteenth century industrial town, however, something very notable in the way of a new people’s music flourished. There were the music-hall songs, and this was indeed a popular music in a limited way; but it was not until the growth of jazz and of the dance music developed from it that the urban masses began to find something which had a special appeal.And so it was at this point that everything came together. The new kind of music; the means of disseminating it widely through the gramophone and, later, the radio; the commercial world of mass production for profit; and the new twentieth century folk-people with little experience cither in self-expression in music or in the arts of any sort of cultural background, but people with a steadily increasing amount of money and leisure. Some form of release through music they sought, as every human community has sought it, and some form they were given.So developed the new industry, an industry for the provision of popular music. As Christian Damton has said, folk music（as commonly understood） is “music which comes from the people”, whereas popular music（ again as commonly understood） is, “music written for the people”; and the achievement of the business interests in Tm Pan Alley and the recording companies has been to manufacture a music for the people on the largest possible scale. They have done this, as such things must be done, by process of standardization, by providing an article which will be accepted by most of the people of the time.
