Question

大学英语二
The Swedes are among the most charming peoples in Europe.And their charm comes from an apparent contradiction in the national character.They are extremely conservative in social relationships; within the family and when meeting friends and business acquaintances,their conduct is governed by strict social patterns.At the same time,they are one of the most intellectually progressive people in the world.They are always open to new ideas.All social occasions in Sweden are regulated by rules and traditions.And these traditions are expressed in a specific ritual (仪式) made up of formal bows,handshakes,and greetings.When a visitor enters a Swedish home,he is invariably received with a "Welcome"; when he leaves,his host will tell him "You will be welcome again".These charming phrases are an indestructible part of Swedish social life and they give it an old-world flavor of good manners.Equally attractive is the Swedish acceptance of modern technological equipment.A traveller never needs to search for a telephone in Sweden:telephone booths are placed at regular intervals along the main streets and highways.And in church,for example,long benches are fitted with hearing aids for worshippers who may be hard of hearing.Swedish homes are among the best equipped in the world and travellers in Sweden find their journeys made easy by the use of the most efficient modern devices.

Answer 1

这一回,那跑道显得有些异样.刹那间,他感到一阵惊吓.一种惶惑不安的感觉向他袭来.横杆升在高出他个人最高纪录9英寸的高度.他想,这一高度与全国纪录只差1英寸了.这一刻紧张异常,他感到焦虑不安.他想摆脱紧张情绪.没有用.他更紧张了.在这种时刻怎么会这样呢,他暗暗思忖着.他有点胆怯起来.说是恐惧也许更为恰当.怎么办?他以前从来不曾有过这种感觉.这时,不知不觉地,在内心最深处,出现了他母亲的身影.为什么是在这一刻?记忆中,母亲在这种时刻会怎样做呢?很简单.母亲过去总跟他说,当你觉得紧张、焦虑、甚至害怕的时候,就深深地吸气.
