4、Questions are based on the following passage.
Exchange a glance with someone，then look away. Do you realize that you have made a statement? Hold the glance for a second longer，and you have made a different statement. Hold it for 3 seconds，and the meaning has changed again. For every social situation，there is a permissible time that you can hold a person’s gaze without being intimate，rude，or aggressive. If you are on an elevator，what gaze-time are you permitted? To answer this question，consider what you typically do. You very likely give other passengers a quick glance to size them up(打量)and to assure them that you mean no threat. Since being close to another person signals the possibility of interaction，you need to emit a signal telling others you want to be left alone. So you cut off eye contact，what sociologist Erving Goffman(1963)calls“a dimming of the lights”. You look down at the floor，at the indicator lights，anywhere but into another passenger’s eyes. Should you break the rule against stating at a stranger on an elevator，you will make the other person exceedingly unc6mfortable，and you are likely to feel a bit strange yourself.
If you hold eye contact for more than 3 seconds，what are you telling another person? Much depends on the person and the situation. For instance，a man and a woman communicate interest in this manner. They typically gaze at each other for about 3 seconds at a time，then drop their eyes down for 3 seconds，before letting their eyes meet again. But if one man gives another man a 3-second-plus stare，he signals，“I know you”. “I aln interested in you”or“You look peculiar and I am curious about you”. This type of stare often produces hostile feelings.
t can be inferred from the first paragraph that __________.
A．every glance has its significance.
B．staring at a person is an expression of interest
C．a gaze longer than 3 seconds is unacceptable
D．a glance conveys more meaning than words

Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.
One of the most interesting paradoxes in America today is that Harvard University, the oldest institution of higher learning in the United States, is now engaged in a serious debate about what a university should be, and whether it is measuring up (符合标准).
Like the Roman Catholic Church and other ancient institutions, it is asking--still in private rather than in public--whether its past assumptions about faculty, authority, admissions, courses of study, are really relevant to the problems of our society.
Should Harvard--or any other university--be an intellectual sanctuary, apart from the political and social revolution of the age, or should it be a laboratory for experimentation with these political and social revolutions; or even an engine of the revolution? This is what is being discussed privately in the big clapboard ( 楔形板) houses of faculty members around the Harvard Yard.
The issue was defined by Walter Lippmann, a distinguished Harvard graduate, many years ago.
"If the universities are to do their work," he said, "they must be independent and they must be disinterested... They are places to which men can turn for unbiased judgments. Obviously, the moment the universities fall under political control, or under the control of private interests, or the moment they themselves take a hand in politics and the leadership of government, their value as independent and disinterested sources of judgment is impaired..."
This is part of the argument that is going on at Harvard today. Another part is the argument of the militant and even many moderated students: that a university is the keeper of our ideals and morals, and should not be "disinterested" but activist in bringing the Nation's ideals and actions together.
