In China it is relatively usual to ask people their age, but in the West this question is generally regarded as impolite. This is particularly true 101 ______ women, and even more so if the inquirer is a man. However, it is very 102 ______ to ask children their age, and some adults may not mind being asked either. In fact, some elderly people are quite happy to 103 ______ their age, especially if they feel they look young for their age. Nevertheless, it is not very wise to ask a direct question like “How old are you?” . If elderly people want to talk about their age, they may easily 104 ______ the topic themselves, and ask the other person to guess how old they are. They normally expect to be complimented on their youthfulness, though rather than 105 ______ that they look very old. Even though Westerners do not usually ask people directly how

old they are, this does not 106______ that they are not interested to know how old other people are. They may ask 107______ for the information, or else they may try to 108 topic indirectly. Sometimes discussions about educational 109______ and the number of years of working experience may provide some clues, but this is not always the 110.

We all believe that modern technology can make life better because it makes everything faster. But by 111 ______ everything up, we suffer losses we have not yet learnt to know. Our day begins with speedy urges: the alarm rings and you jump 112______ bed. You take a quick shower. Then you wake the kids and 113______ them through breakfast so they won’t miss the bus. At the dining table, you swallow some slices of bread with a cup of tea. When everything 114______, you hurry to the car, thinking of the things you would buy from the supermarket on the way 115______. Driving 20 minutes in the busy traffic, you reach your workplace, rushing into the building and 116______ up the stairs three at a time, arriving at your desk with seconds to spare. You take 117______ deep breaths. Then, you instantly remember that the 118______ you didn’t finish last night must be faxed to Beijing by 10 o’clock in the morning. Yet it seems that the 119______ we go, the further we fall behind. Not only in the literal sense of not getting done what we set out to do, 120______ at a deeper level. It has come to the point where my days feel like an Olympic marathon.

Many people think New York is a noisy city. In fact, scientists who study noise say that the average noise level in New York is 72.5 decibels. This is a little louder than normal conversation, which is 65 decibels. The noise level is the result of so many people and cars in the same area. Now even the insides of taxis are noisy. When you get into a taxi, you hear the voice of a well-known singer, a sports reporter, or Broadway actress giving instructions. That’s right. The voice of a famous person tells you what to do. One popular singer gives this message: “Cats have nine lives, but you have only one, so fasten your seat belt!” Other voices say things such as “Don’t forget to collect all your belongings.” (People often leave hats, umbrella, and bags in taxis.) There is a good reason for the messages. There are more than 12,000 cabs in New York, and every year taxis get into more than 15,000 accidents. In an accident, people who don’t wear seat belts hit the partition, the glass wall separating the driver and passengers in the taxi. They can hurt their foreheads or break their noses or chins. Every year, about 11,000 people are injured in this way. Many people are annoyed by the voices. Cabdrivers in particular dislike the messages. “I play the messages 12 hours a day. I hear the same voices 60 times a day. It makes me crazy,” says Atnis, a 45-year-old cabdriver. “But if I don’t play the messages, I get fined 100 dollars.” A lot of passengers complained, too. “It’s too much noise,” says a passenger, “I asked the driver to turn off the message, but he said he can’t.” Other people think the voices are a great idea. One taxi driver says, “People like to hear the famous voices, and they put on their seat belts more often.” And passengers from out of town really like the idea. “Most of the time, taxi drivers are in a bad mood,” says Melanie Benton, who visits New York often on business, “It’s nice to hear a cheerful voice when you get into a cab.”

It can be inferred from the passage that a taxi driver hears the same voices ____ every day.

The cabdrivers play the messages again and again because ____.

The author of this passage seems to believe that ____.

It is often said that politeness costs nothing. In fact, it seems that a little more politeness could save businesses £5 billion every year. Frequently hearing the phrase “thank you” or “well done” makes the same staff as modest pay rise. Praise and encouragement also makes employees more likely to work hard and stay in their jobs. In this way the business companies can save the cost of finding new employees. A third of 1,000 workers surveyed by a consulting firm said they did not get thanked at all when they did well-and a further third said they were not thanked enough. In both cases, staff said they felt undervalued, meaning they were less likely to exert themselves and were more likely to look for employment elsewhere. The result of the survey shows that there would be around £5.2 billion loss in productivity if the employees felt less appreciated. According to the firm, praising staff has the same positive effect as a 1 per cent pay rise-and works out much cheaper for bosses. Three out of four employees said that regular acknowledgement by their bosses was important to them, but only a quarter said they were actually given as much praise as they felt they needed. The survey found that those in blue-collar and manual jobs were less likely to be given any recognition for doing well. But it seems that they most need such praise. In regional terms, Scottish staff felt most undervalued. Four out of ten workers said they were never thanked and eight out of ten said they would like more praise. However, workers in the North-East are less impressed by being praised by the boss, as only 69 per cent said they felt the need to be told “well done” regularly. Older employees and women need the most reassurance, according to psychologist Averil Leimon. She said that words of praise did more than creating a pleasant place to work-they could even promote profits.

Workers doing well but not getting thanks from their bosses will probably ____.

According to the survey, ____ of the employees believed they were praised as much as expected.

The survey shows that those who do not pay much attention to praise are ____.
