听力原文： Peter wondered why he didn't have many friends. The reason was he was always taking, never giving.
One day Peter told Bill, "I'd like to give a party on Saturday. I'd like you to come and bring Martha, too."
"Thanks, Peter. We would be happy to come."
"Perhaps you would like to bring your violin. You and Martha sing well together. I'm sure everyone will want you to sing for us."
That was how Peter began to plan his party. Next he asked another friend, Betty, to bring a cake. "You make the best cake in the world, Betty, and I prefer to eat your cake than have one from the bakery."
Peter invited several other friends to come to his party. He did not forget to ask something from each of them. He even asked Jim and Mary Jackson to let him give the party at their house. They agreed.
The party was a big success. However, as the guests were leaving they said "thank you" to Bill and Martha for music, Betty for the cake, the Jacksons for the use of the house and to others for their hard work. To Peter they simply said, "Thanks for the invitation."

A．Because he was not generous.
B．Because he was never taking.
C．Because he asked for little from others.
D．Because he seldom hold parties.
But even if he hadn't stopped in time, the woman would have been safe. She isn't real. Neither is the town. And Coyne isn't really driving. Coyne is demonstrating a computerized driving simulator that is helping researchers at Old Dominion University (ODU) examine how in-vehicle guidance systems affect the person behind the wheel.
The researchers want to know if such systems, which give audible or written directions, are too distracting—or whether any distractions are offset by the benefits drivers get from having help finding their way in unfamiliar locations.
"We're looking at the performance and mental workload of drivers," said Caryl Baldwin, the assistant psychology professor leading the research, which involves measuring drivers' reaction time and brain activity as they respond to auditory and visual cues.
The researchers just completed a study of the mental workload involved in driving through different kinds of environments and heavy versus, light traffic. Preliminary results show that as people "get into more challenging driving situations, they don't have any extra mental energy to respond to something else in the environment, "Baldwin said.
But the tradeoffs could be worth it, she said. This next step is to test different ways of giving drivers navigational information and how those methods change the drivers' mental workload.
"Is it best if they see a picture…that shows their position, a map kind of display？" Baldwin questioned. "Is it best if they hear it？"
Navigational systems now on the market give point-by-point directions that follow a prescribed mute. "They're very unforgiving," Baldwin said. "If you miss a turn, they can almost seem to get angry."
That style. of directions also can be frustrating for people who prefer more general instructions. But such broad directions can confuse drivers who prefer route directions, Baldwin said.
Perhaps manufacturers should allow drivers to choose the style. of directions they want, or modify systems to present some information in a way that makes sense for people who prefer the survey style, she said.
Interestingly, other research has shown that about 60 percent of men prefer the survey style, while 60 percent women prefer the route style, Baldwin said. This explains the stereotype that men don't like to stop and ask for directions and women do, Baldwin added.
Which statement is true of the description in the first two paragraphs？
A．If Coyne had stopped the car in time, he wouldn't have hit the woman.
B．The woman would have been knocked over, if Coyne had followed the traffic regulations.
C．Coyne is not really driving so it is impossible for him to have hit the woman.
D．If the woman had not crossed the street suddenly, Coyne would not have hit her.
Driven to Distraction
Joe Coyne slides into the driver's seat, starts up the car and heads to town. The empty stretch of interstate gives way to urban congestion, and Coyne hits the brakes as a pedestrian suddenly crosses the street in front of him.
But even if he hadn't stopped in time, the woman would have been safe. She isn't real. Neither is the town. And Coyne isn't really driving. Coyne is demonstrating a computerized driving simulator that is helping researchers at Old Dominion University (ODU) examine how in-vehicle guidance systems affect the person behind the wheel.

Donald Keene, who wrote Living Japan, notes the fact that in the Japanese language there is no word for privacy. Still, this does not mean that there is no concept of the need to be apart from others. To the Japanese, privacy exists in terms of his house. He considers this area to be his own, and he dislikes invasion of it. The fact that he crowds together with others does not contradict his need for living space.
Dr. Hall sees this as a reflection of the Japanese concept of space. Westerners, he believed, see space as the distance between objects; to them space is empty. The Japanese, on the other hand, see space as having as much meaning as their flower arrangements and art, and the shape of their gardens as well, where units of space balance the areas containing flowers or plants.
Like the Japanese, the Arabs too prefer to be close to one another. But while in public they are crowded together, in privacy, they prefer a great deal of space. The traditional or wealthy Arab house is large and empty, with family often crowded together in one small area of it. The Arabs do not like to be alone, and even in their spacious houses they will huddle together.
The difference between the Arab huddling and the Japanese crowding is a deep thing. The Arabs like to touch his companion. The Japanese, in their closeness, preserve a formality and a cool dignity. They manage to touch and still keep rigid boundaries. The Arabs push these boundaries aside.
Along with this closeness, there is a pushing and shoving in the Arab world that many Westerners find uncomfortable, even unpleasant. To an American, for example, there are personal boundaries even in a public place. When he is waiting in line, he believes that his place there is his alone, and may not be invaded by another. The Arab has no concept of privacy in the public place, and if he can rush his way into a line, he feels perfectly within his rights to do so. To an American, the body is sacred; he dislikes being touched by a stranger, and will apologize if he touches another accidentally. To an Arab, bodily contact is accepted.
Hall points out that an Arab needs at times to be alone, no matter how close he wishes to be, physically, to his fellow men. To be alone, he simply cuts off the lines of communication. He retreats into himself, mentally and spiritually, and this withdrawal is respected by his companions. If an American were with an Arab who withdrew in this way, he would regard it as impolite, as lack of respect, even as an insult.
What's the main idea of the passage？
A．Arabs and Japanese have different ideas of privacy.
B．Body languages reflect cultural concepts.
C．Cultural differences between the West and the East.
D．People in different cultures have different concepts of space.
