The meaning f silence can be different amng cultural grups. Silences may be thughtful, r they may be empty when a persn has nthing t say. A silence in a cnversatin may als shw uneasiness r wrry. Silence may be viewed by sme cultural grups as extremely uncmfrtable; therefre, attempts may be made t fill every gap (间隙) with cnversatin. Persns in ther cultural grups value silence and view it as necessary fr understanding a persn’s needs.
Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part f cmmunicating amng peple, just as sme traditinal Chinese and Thai persns d. Therefre, when a persn frm ne f these cultures is speaking and suddenly stps, what may be implied(暗示) is that the persn wants the listener t cnsider what has been said befre cntinuing. In these cultures, silence is a call fr reflectin.
Other cultures may use silence in ther ways, particularly when dealing with cnflicts(冲突) amng peple r in relatinships f peple with different amunts f pwer. Fr example, Russian, French, and Spanish persns may use silence t shw agreement between parties abut the tpic under discussin. Hwever, Mexicans may use silence when instructins are given by a persn in authrity(权威) rather than be rude t that persn by arguing with him r her. In still anther use, persns in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign f respect, particularly t an elder r a persn in authrity.
Nurses and ther care-givers need t understand the pssible meanings f silence when they cme acrss the persnal anxiety their patients may be experiencing. Nurses shuld recgnize their wn persnal and cultural cnstructin f silence s that a patient’s silence is nt interrupted t early r allwed t g n unnecessarily. A nurse wh understands the healing (治愈) value f silence can use this understanding t assist in the care f patients frm their wn and frm ther cultures.
What des the authr say abut silence in cnversatins?
A. It implies anger.B. It prmtes friendship.
C. It depends n culture.D. It is based n cntext.
Which f the fllwing peple might regard silence as a call fr careful thught?
A. The Chinese.B. The French.C. The Mexicans.D. The Russians.
What des the authr advise nurses t d abut silence?
A. Let it cntinue as the patient wants.B. Break it while treating patients.
C. Evaluate(评估) its harm t patients.D. Make use f its healing effects.
What can be a suitable title fr the text?
A. Sund and SilenceB. What It Means t Be Silent

Twinkling (闪烁) Christmas lights n ur Christmas tree reflected ff the shiny decratins, thrwing flashes (闪光) f light n the wall. Outside snw fell dwn as the grey Sunday afternn sky darkened. My feeling was as dark as the sky. Althugh it was less than tw weeks befre Christmas, I fund it difficult t be in a festive (节日的) md. We had mved t Canada frm suth, and hlidays were difficult fr us because we missed ur family in Minnesta. I made a half- hearted effrt t put up a few decratins arund the huse, but my heart just wasn't in it.
"Mum, I wish we culd spend Christmas with Grandpa and Grandma in Minnesta," said my fifteen-year-ld daughter, Rachel. I culdn’t help feeling hmesick.

"But Minnesta is 2,000 kilmeters frm Calgary. Yu remember hw hard it was t drive in that snwstrm tw years ag?" "I remember," she sighed.
We had decided that driving t Minnesta fr Christmas was simply t risky and buying plane tickets fr fur peple was ttally ut f the questin. N ne was visiting fr Christmas, either; I just didn't have the energy t invite anyne. We wuld be spending Christmas alne.
I was slightly shcked when the drbell rang. It was dark utside, and we weren't expecting anyne. Rachel went t pen the dr, and then said, "Mum, there's a bx n the drstep — with presents. and nbdy is ut here!"
Wh culd have left it? It was indeed a mystery. The bx cntained many packages wrapped in bright Christmas paper. Each had a typewritten label: Open 14 December, Open 15 December ... There were a ttal f twelve gifts – the "Twelve Days f Christmas".
It was 14 December, and the label fr that day was tied t a turkey still wrapped in the plastic frm the stre. The nte read: Our LOVE is given annymusly(匿名地). S enjy fun with yur family. I put the turkey in the freezer and the rest f the gifts under the tree.

The meaning f silence can be different amng cultural grups. Silences may be thughtful, r they may be empty when a persn has nthing t say. A silence in a cnversatin may als shw uneasiness r wrry. Silence may be viewed by sme cultural grups as extremely uncmfrtable; therefre, attempts may be made t fill every gap (间隙) with cnversatin. Persns in ther cultural grups value silence and view it as necessary fr understanding a persn’s needs.
Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part f cmmunicating amng peple, just as sme traditinal Chinese and Thai persns d.

In these cultures, silence is a call fr reflectin.
Other cultures may use silence in ther ways, particularly when dealing with cnflicts(冲突) amng peple r in relatinships f peple with different amunts f pwer. Fr example, Russian, French, and Spanish persns may use silence t shw agreement between parties abut the tpic under discussin. Hwever, Mexicans may use silence when instructins are given by a persn in authrity(权威) rather than be rude t that persn by arguing with him r her. In still anther use, persns in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign f respect, particularly t an elder r a persn in authrity.
Nurses and ther care-givers need t understand the pssible meanings f silence when they cme acrss the persnal anxiety their patients may be experiencing. Nurses shuld recgnize their wn persnal and cultural cnstructin f silence s that a patient’s silence is nt interrupted t early r allwed t g n unnecessarily. A nurse wh understands the healing (治愈) value f silence can use this understanding t assist in the care f patients frm their wn and frm ther cultures.

Twinkling (闪烁) Christmas lights n ur Christmas tree reflected ff the shiny decratins, thrwing flashes (闪光) f light n the wall. Outside snw fell dwn as the grey Sunday afternn sky darkened. My feeling was as dark as the sky. Althugh it was less than tw weeks befre Christmas, I fund it difficult t be in a festive (节日的) md. We had mved t Canada frm suth, and hlidays were difficult fr us because we missed ur family in Minnesta. I made a half- hearted effrt t put up a few decratins arund the huse, but my heart just wasn't in it.
"Mum, I wish we culd spend Christmas with Grandpa and Grandma in Minnesta," said my fifteen-year-ld daughter, Rachel. I culdn’t help feeling hmesick. Hw culd I encurage my daughter when I was als struggling? "I knw yu'd like t spend Christmas in Minnesta, Rachel. S wuld 1." I lked up frm the ntes I was writing n my printed Christmas letters. "But Minnesta is 2,000 kilmeters frm Calgary. Yu remember hw hard it was t drive in that snwstrm tw years ag?" "I remember," she sighed.
We had decided that driving t Minnesta fr Christmas was simply t risky and buying plane tickets fr fur peple was ttally ut f the questin. N ne was visiting fr Christmas, either; I just didn't have the energy t invite anyne. We wuld be spending Christmas alne.
I was slightly shcked when the drbell rang. It was dark utside, and we weren't expecting anyne. Rachel went t pen the dr, and then said, "Mum, there's a bx n the drstep — with presents. and nbdy is ut here!"
Wh culd have left it? It was indeed a mystery. The bx cntained many packages wrapped in bright Christmas paper. Each had a typewritten label: Open 14 December, Open 15 December ... There were a ttal f twelve gifts – the "Twelve Days f Christmas".
It was 14 December, and the label fr that day was tied t a turkey still wrapped in the plastic frm the stre. The nte read: Our LOVE is given annymusly(匿名地). S enjy fun with yur family. I put the turkey in the freezer and the rest f the gifts under the tree.
N matter wh sent the gifts, I wanted t say: “Thank yu and merry Christmas!”
