(20 points)Questions 21 〜25 are based on the following passage.Banks are not ordinarily prepared to pay out all accountsj they rely on depositors (储户) not to demand payment all at the same time. 1( depositors should come to fear that a bank is not safe, that it cannot pay off all its depositors, then that fear might cause all the depositors to appear on the same day. If they did, the bank could not pay all accounts. However, if they did not all appear at once, then there would always be enough money to pay those who wanted their money when they wanted it.Mrs. Elsie Vaught has told us of a terrifying bank run that she experienced. One day in December of 1925 several banks failed to open in a city where Mrs. Vaught lived. The other banks expected a run the next day, and so the officers of the hank in which Mrs Vaught worked as a teller had enough money on hand to pay off their depositors. The officers simply told the tellers to pay on demand. The next morning a crowd gathered in the bank and on the sidewalk outside. The length of the line made many think that the bank could not possibly 494pay off everyone. People began to push and then to fight for places near the tellers' windows. The power of the panic atmosphere was such that two tellers, though they knew that the bank was quite all right and could pay all depositors* drew their own money from the bank. Mrs Vaught says that she had difficulty keeping herself from doing the 5ame.21.

Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. "Did Jerry really care when I broke up wiih Helen?” "When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy my luck?" "And Paul-why didn't I realize that he was friendly just because I had a car?" When wc look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when wc look back, it's too late.Why do we go wrong about our friends or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if wc don't really listen we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, “You're a lucky dog. * That's being friendly. But a **lucky dog”? There's a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn't see it himself. But bringing in the "dog" bit puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that he doesn't ihink you deserve your luck."Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for" is another noise that mys one thing and means another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your lifeas a whole. But is he? Wrapped up in this phrase is the thought that your problem isn't important. Jt*s telling you to think of all the starving people in the world when you haven't got a date for Saturday night.How can you tell the real meaning behind someone's words? One way is xo take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says agree with the tone of voice? His posture? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake.26.This passage is mainly about _________ .A.how to interpret what people sayB.what to do when you listen to others talkingC.how to avoid mistakes when you communicate with peopleI), why we go wrong with people sometimes49627.According to the author, the reason why we go wrong about our friends is thatA.we fail to listen carefully when they talkB.people lend to be annoyed when we check what they sayC.people usually state one thing but means anotherD.we tend to doubt what our friends say28.In the sentence "Maybe he doesn't see it himself.
