Q26.
By five o'clock Graceland was crammed with mourners: ex-employees, old friends, relatives, and special fans. Of
course everyone is sadden by death, but the thing about Elvis' death was that no one could believe it. Elvis Presley
dead? As more people crowded in and the reality began to fully sink in, I felt I couldn't breathe. I stepped out on the
porch, and the sight beyond the gates was incredible; tens of thousands of people gathered there.
Q27.
Because words can break silence, and thus remove tension, we often draw on them for this reason and not mainly
for what they mean. When two people are introduced, one says, "How do you do?" Now this is not really a question,
despite its apparent meaning, and the other person will reply not, 'Very well thank you, but 'How do you do?' This is
the conversational formula. The purpose of the phrase 'How do you do?' is not to communicate meaning but to
break the tension which would result from silence.
Q28.
Men usually want to have their own way. They want to think and act as they like. No one, however, can have his
own way all the time. A man cannot live in society without taking into account the interest of others as well as his
own interests. "Society" means a group of people with the same laws and the same way of life. People in society
may make their own decisions, but these decisions ought not to be unjust or detrimental to others.
Q29.
A group of men were requested to put their hands into a bowl of icy water and then tell a researcher how much it
hurt. Half of them reported back to a man, the other half to an attractive woman. Those who talked to the woman
asserted that they suffered significantly less pain than the others. When women were asked to do the same, they
reported a similar level of pain whether they were talking to a man or a woman. There was not a discrepancy
between the statements they made to a man and a woman.
Q30.
The city of London has been a world financial center for many years. Until about fifty years ago, its significance
was due to the fact that London was the capital city of major trading nation. After the financial difficulties of the
first part of the twentieth century, the city might have slowly lost its influence in international finance. But in fact
since 1960, it has recovered rapidly, and developed at great speed in recent years. A new city has grown, modern,
efficient and looking forward to the future.
