4.Have you ever been afraid to talk back when you were treated unfairly? Have you ever bought something just because the salesman talked you into it? Are you afraid to ask someone for a date?Many people are afraid to assert themselves(坚持己见).Dr.Robert Alberti，author of Stand Up,Speak Out，and Talk Back, thinks it’s because of their lack of confidence.“Our structure oforganization tends to make people distrust themselves.”says Alberti.“There’s alwaysa‘superior’around-a parent，a teacher，a boss-who‘knows better’.These‘superiors’often gain whenthey keep breaking at your self-image.”But Alberti and other scientists are doing something to help people assert themselves.They offer“assertiveness training”courses-AT for short.In the AT course people learn that they have a right to be themselves.They learn to speak out and feel good about doing so.They learn to be aggressive without hurting people.In one way, learning to speak out is to overcome fear.A group taking an AT course will help the shy person to lose his fear.But AT uses an even stronger motive-the need to share.The shy person speaks out in the group because he wants to tell how he feels.Whether or not you speak up for yourself depends on your self-image.If someone you face is more“important”than you，you may feel less of a person.You start to doubt your own good sense.You go by the other person’ s label.But，why should you?AT says you can get to feel good about yourself.And once you do，you can learn to speak out.According to Dr.Alberti， our organization is constructed to____.

J.EdgarHoover quietly went ahead with his plans.He picked his men carefully.They had to be between the ages of twenty-five and thirty-five.He wanted only men withgood manners and good character.When working ashis officers they would have to meetall kinds of people.Hoover wanted men who could handle a teacup as well as a gun.Hechose men so carefully that he made theFBI the hardest service in the world to get into.The FBI cannot help in every police problem.It can look into only certain crimes againstthe government.Solving all other crimes is the duty of local police forces.2.Before he worked with the FBI.J.Edgar Hoover wasa（）

In china, it is relatively usual to ask people their age, but in the west, this question is generally regarded as impolite. This is particularly true 61 women, and even more 62 if the inquirer is a man. However, it is 63 to ask children their age, and some adults may not mind 64 either. In fact, some elderly people are quite happy to 65 their age, especially if they feel they look young 66 their age. Nevertheless, it is not very wise to ask a(n) 67 question like ―How old are you?‖if elderly people want to talk about their age, and perhaps receive a compliment on how young they look, they may easily 68 the topic themselves, and ask the other person to 69
