听力原文: One winter evening Mr. Blake was driving in his car along an isolated country road. He had been to New York, in which he had withdrawn 10,000 dollars from the bank.
He was then going back home with the money, which he had put in his pocket. At the loneliest part of the road a middle-aged man in poor clothes stopped him and asked for a lift. Mr. Blake told him to get into the car and continued on his way. As he talked to the man he learned that he had been in prison for robbery and had escaped out of prison three days ago. Mr. Blake was very worried at the thought of the 10,000 dollars in his pocket.
Suddenly he saw a police-car and had a clever idea. He had just reached a small town where the speed limit was 40 miles an hour.

After a mile or so the police-car overtook him and ordered him to stop.

Some years ago I gave a dinner party during which I served a delicious hors d' oeuvre filled with a meat that tasted somewhat like chicken. My guests wondered what the meat was, but 1 refused to tell them until they had eaten their fill. I then explained that they had just dined on the flesh of freshly killed rattlesnake. The reaction was nausea--and in some cases violent vomiting. If I had served rattlesnake to a Chinese, he would doubtless had requested a second helping, for in China the dish is considered a delicacy.
Another interesting case is the young man I met recently in New York City. An American by birth, he had been removed from his native state of Oregon at the age of six months when his parents went to Japan as missionaries. Orphaned before his first birthday, he was reared by a Japanese family in a remote village. The young man was unmistakably American in appearance, with blond hair and blue eyes. But he had a Japanese style. of walking, Japanese facial expressions, and he thought like a Japanese. Though he had learned to speak English fluently, he felt uncomfortable and nut of place in an American city. He soon returned to Japan.

A.Cultural Conditioning
B.Our Parents' Values

Some years ago I gave a dinner party during which I served a delicious hors d'oeuvre filled with a meat that tasted somewhat like chicken. My guests wondered what the meat was, but I refused to tell them until they had eaten their fill. I explained that they had just dined on the flesh of freshly killed rattlesnake. Some people reacted by becoming nauseous, and a few people even vomited. By contrast, if I had served rattlesnake to a Chinese person, he might have requested a second helping, for in China the dish is considered a delicacy.
