We nce had a pster cmpetitin in ur fifth grade art class.
“Yu culd win prizes, “ ur teacher tld us as she wrte the pster infrmatin n the blackbard. She passed ut sheets f cnstructin paper while cntinuing, “The first prize is ten dllars. Yu just have t make sure that the wrds n the blackbard appear smewhere n yur pster. “
We studied the bard critically. Sme f us lked with ne eye and held up certain clrs against the blackbard, rcking the sheets t the right r left while wecnjured up ur designs. Others twisted their hair arund their fingers r chewed their erasers while deep in thught. We had plans fr that ten-dllar grand prize, each and every ne f us. I’m ging t spend mine n candies, ne hpeful wuld annunce, while anther practiced lking serius, wise and rich.
Everyne in the class made a pster. Sme f us used parts f thse fancy paper napkins, while thers used nthing but clred cnstructin paper. Sme f us used big designs, and sme f us preferred t gather ur art tidily dwn in ne crner f ur pster and let the space draw the viewer’s attentin t it. Sme f us wuld wander past the gd students’ desks and then return t ur wn prjects with a grwing sense f hpelessness. It was yet anther grwn-up trick f the srt they seemed especially fnd f, making all f us believe we had a fair chance, and then always—always—rewarding the same ld winners.
I believe I drew a sailbat, but I can’t say that with any certainty. I made it. I admired it. I determined it t be the very best f all f the psters I had seen, and then I turned it in.
Minutes passed.
N ne came alng t give me the grand prize, and then smene distracted me, and I prbably never wuld have thught abut that pster again.
I was still sitting at my desk, thinking, What pster? when the teacher gave me an envelpe with a ten-dllar bill in it and everyne in the class applauded fr me.

Pacing and Pausing
Sara tried t befriend her ld friend Steve’s new wife, but Betty never seemed t have anything t say. While Sara felt Betty didn’t hld up her end f the cnversatin, Betty cmplained t Steve that Sara never gave her a chance t talk. The prblem had t d with expectatins abut pacing and pausing.
Cnversatin is a turn-taking game. When ur habits are similar, there’s n prblem. But if ur habits are different, yu may start t talk befre I’m finished r fail t take yur turn when I’m finished. That’s what was happening with Betty and Sara.
It may nt be cincidental that Betty, wh expected relatively lnger pauses between turns, is British, and Sara, wh expected relatively shrter pauses, is American. Betty ften felt interrupted by Sara. But Betty herself became an interrupter and fund herself ding mst f the talking when she met a visitr frm Finland. And Sara had a hard time cutting in n sme speakers frm Latin America r Israel.
The general phenmenn, then, is that the small cnversatin techniques, like pacing and pausing, lead peple t draw cnclusins nt abut cnversatinal style but abut persnality and abilities. These habitual differences are ften the basis fr dangerus steretyping(思维定式). And these scial phenmena can have very persnal cnsequences. Fr example, a wman frm the suthwestern part f the US went t live in an eastern city t take up a jb in persnnel. When the Persnnel Department gt tgether fr meetings, she kept searching fr the right time t break in—and never fund it. Althugh back hme she was cnsidered utging and cnfident, in Washingtn she was viewed as shy and retiring. When she was evaluated at the end f the year, she was tld t take a training curse because f her inability t speak up.
That’s why slight differences in cnversatinal style—tiny little things like micrsecnds f pause—can have a great effect n ne’s life. The result in this case was a judgment f psychlgical prblems—even in the mind f the wman herself, wh really wndered what was wrng with her and registered fr assertiveness training.
1. What did Sara think f Betty when talking with her?
A. Betty was talkative.
B. Betty was an interrupter.
C. Betty did nt take her turn.
D. Betty paid n attentin t Sara.
2. Accrding t the passage, wh are likely t expect the shrtest pauses between turns?
A. Americans. B. Israelis. C. The British. D. The Finns.
3. We can learn frm the passage that .
A. cmmunicatin breakdwn results frm shrt pauses and fast pacing
B. wmen are unfavrably steretyped in eastern cities f the US
C. ne’s inability t speak up is culturally determined smetimes
D. ne shuld receive training t build up ne’s cnfidence
4. The underlined wrd“assertiveness” in the last paragraph prbably means .
A. being willing t speak ne’s mind
B. being able t increase ne’s pwer
C. being ready t make ne’s wn judgment
D. being quick t express ne’s ideas cnfidently

Few laws are s effective that yu can see results just days after they take effect.But in the nine days since the federal cigarette tax mre than dubled－t $1.01 per pack－smkers have jammed telephne “quit lines” acrss the cuntry seeking t kick the habit.
This is nt a surprise t public health advcates.They've studied the effect f state tax increases fr years，finding that smkers，especially teens，are price sensitive.Nr is it a shck t the industry，which fiercely fights every tax increase.
The nly wnder is that s many states insist n clsing their ears t the message.Tbacc taxes imprve public health，they raise mney and mst particularly，they deter peple frm taking up the habit as teens，which is when nearly all smkers are addicted.Yet the rate f taxatin varies widely.
In Manhattan，fr instance，which has the highest tax in the natin，a pack f Marlbr Light Kings，cst $10.06 at ne drugstre Wednesday.In Charlestn，S.C.，where the 7 cent a pack tax is the lwest in the natin，the price was $4.78.
The influence is bvius.
In New Yrk，high schl smking hit a new lw in the latest surveys－13.8%，far belw the natinal average.By cmparisn,26% f high schl students smke in Kentucky.Other lw tax states have similarly depressing teen smking recrds.
Hal Rgers，Representative frm Kentucky，like thse wh are against high tbacc taxes，argues that the burden f the tax falls n lwincme Americans “wh chse t smke.”
That's true.But there is mre reasn in keeping future generatins f lwincme wrkers frm getting hked in the first place.As fr tday's adults，if the new tax drives them t quit，they will have mre t spend n their families，cut their risk f cancer and heart disease and feel better.
