What is the purpose of the last part of the text？ ______ ‎ A. To encourage donations． B. To advertise coming events．‎ C. To introduce special exhibits． D. To tell about the Center's history．‎ B The meaning of silence varies among cultural groups．Silences may be thoughtful，or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say．A silence in a conversation may also show stubbornness，uneasiness，or worry．Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable； therefore attempts may be made to fill every gap（间隙）with conversation．Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a person's needs． ‎ Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among people，just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do．Therefore，when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops，what may be implied（暗示） is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing．In these cultures，silence is a call for reflection．‎ Other cultures may use silence in other ways，particularly when dealing with conflicts among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power．For example，Russian，French，and Spanish persons may use silence to show agreement between parties about the topic under discussion．However，Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her．In still another use，persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect，particularly to an elder or a person in authority．‎ Nurses and other care﹣givers need to be aware of the possible meanings of silence when they come across the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing．Nurses should recognize their own personal and cultural construction of silence so that a patient’s silence is not interrupted too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily．A nurse who understands the healing（治愈） value of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures．‎ ‎24. What does the author say about silence in conversations？‎ A. It implies anger. B. It promotes friendship.‎ C. It is culture﹣specific. D. It is content﹣based.‎ ‎25. Which of the following people might regard silence as a call for careful thought？‎ A. The Chinese. B. The French. C. The Mexicans. D. The Russians.‎ ‎26. What does the author advise nurses to do about silence？‎ A. Let it continue as the patient pleases. B. Break it while treating patients.‎ C. Evaluate its harm to patients. D. Make use of its healing effects.‎ ‎27. What may be the best title for the text？‎ A. Sound and Silence. B. What It Means to Be Silent.‎ C. Silence to Native Americans. D. Speech Is Silver； Silence Is Gold.‎ C Minutes after the last movie ended yesterday at the Plaza Theater，employees were busy sweeping up popcorns and gathering coke cups．It was a scene that had been repeated many times in the theater's 75-year history．This time，however，the cleanup was a little different．As one group of workers carried out the rubbish，another group began removing seats and other theater equipment in preparation for the building's end． ‎ The film classic The Last Picture Show was the last movie shown in the old theater．Though the movie is 30 years old，most of the 250 seats were filled with teary-eyed audience wanting to say good-bye to the old building．Theater owner Ed Bradford said he chose the movie because it seemed appropriate．The movie is set in a small town where the only movie theater is preparing to close down． ‎ Bradford said that large modern theaters in the city made it impossible for the Plaza to compete．He added that the theater's location（位置）was also a reason．"This used to be the center of town，"he said．"Now the area is mostly office buildings and warehouses." ‎ Last week some city officials suggested the city might be interested in turning the old theater into a museum and public meeting place．However，these plans were abandoned because of financial problems．Bradford sold the building and land to a local development firm，which plans to build a shopping complex on the land where the theater is located． ‎ The theater audience said good-bye as Bradford locked the doors for the last time．After 75 years the Plaza Theater has shown its last movie．The theater will be missed．‎ ‎28.

I was in heaven. ‎ What made it even more special was that it was about the only thing that wasn't being "replaced"．We'd been burnt out in fires that swept through our area earlier that year and had lost everything-so most of the "new" stuff（东西）we got was really just to replace what we'd lost．But not my necklace．My necklace was new． ‎ Then，only one month later，I lost it．I took it off before bed and it was missing in the morning．I was sad and searched everywhere for it．But it seemed to have disappeared．Eventually，I gave up and stopped looking for it．And two years later，we sold the house and moved away． ‎ Years passed，and a couple of moves later，I was visiting my parents when Mum told me that she had something for me．It wasn't my birthday，nor was it Easter or Christmas or any other giftgiving occasion．Mum noticed my questioning look．"You'll recognize this one." she said, smiling． ‎ Then she handed me a small ring box．I took it from her and opened it to find my beautiful necklace inside． ‎ The family who had bought our house 13 years earlier had recently decided to do some redecorations，which included replacing the carpets．When they pulled the carpet up in my old bedroom，they found the necklace．As it had my initials carved into it，they realized who owned the necklace．They'd had it professionally cleaned up by a jeweler before sending it to my mother．And it still fits me．‎ ‎32.
