    Years ago, I lived in a building in a large city. The building next door was only a few feet away from mine. There was a woman who lived there, whom I had never met, yet I could see her seated by her window each afternoon, sewing or reading.
　　After several months had gone by, I began to notice that her window was dirty. Everything was unclear through the dirty window. I would say to myself, "I wonder why that woman doesn't wash her window. It really looks terrible."
　　One bright morning I decided to clean my flat, including washing the window on the inside.
　　Late in the afternoon when I finished the cleaning, I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a rest. What a surprise! Across the way, the woman sitting by her window was clearly visible. Her window was clean!
　　Then it dawned on me. I had been criticizing (批评) her dirty window but all the time I was watching hers through my own dirty window.
　　That was quite an important lesson for me. How often had I looked at and criticized others through the dirty window of my heart, through my own shortcomings?
　　Since then, whenever I wanted to judge (评判) someone, I asked myself first, "Am I looking at him through my own dirty window?"
　　Then I try to clean the window of my own world so that I may see the world about me more clearly.

　　A. I began to understand it                  B. it cheered me up
　　C. I knew it grew light                      D. it began to get dark
　　（   ）9. It's clear that _____.
　　A. the writer had never met the woman before
　　B. the writer often washed the window
　　C. they both worked as cleaners
　　D. they lived in a small town
　　（   ）10. From the passage, we can learn ______.

Many Americans find silence uncomfortable during a dinner. So in the United States people often make “small talk” in certain social situations（社交场合）. Small talk is about different topics, only for keeping a conversation going The topics might include the weather, sports, college lessons, clothing, food, etc. Small talk is very useful in social situations when you meet someone for the first time , or when polite conversation is expected but no serious discussion is wanted.
It is common but not necessarily expected that one knows someone in a group before talking with him or her in a conversation . In fact, at a party, “May I join you?” and a self-introduction is useful enough to get a welcome from a group and to join in a conversation. In some places, such as a concert hall or a theatre, a waiting room or a classroom, it’s common for strangers to start a conversation even without an introduction .
People in the States expect those whom they speak to stop whatever they are doing and listening. As a rule, the conversation distance（距离）between two people is at least two or three feet. Standing very close will make many Americans feel uncomfortable.
