A good way of ridding yourself of certain kinds of dogmatism is to become aware of opinions held in social circles different from your own.(63) When I was young.I lived much outside my own country-in France,Germany,Italy and the United States .I found this very profitable in diminishing the intensity of insular prejudice.(64) If you cannot travel,seek out people with whom you disagree,and read a newspaper belonging to a party that is not yours. If the people and the newspaper seem mad,perverse,and wicked,remind yourself that you seem so to them.In this opinion both parties may be right,but they cannot both be wrong.This reflection should generate a certain caution. (65) For those who have enough psychological imagination,it is a good plan to imaginean argument with a person having a different bias .This has one advantage,and only one,as compared with actual conversation with opponents;(66) this one advantage is that the method is not subject to the same limitations of time or space .Mahatma Gandhi deplores railways and steamboats and machinery;he would like to undo the whole of the industrial revolution.(67) You may never have an opportunity of actually meeting any one who holds this opinion,because in Western countries most people take the advantage of modern technique forgranted .(From How to Avoid the Foolish Opinions)

lonely cross striking shake newly signal than way train means example When we think of communication,we normally think of using words-talking face to face,writing messages and so on.But in fact,we communicate far more in other (51)______.Our eyes and facial expressions usually tell the truth even when our words do not.

Passage 1 Questions I to 5 are based on the following passage. "My favorite pair of jeans has finally blown a hole in the knee! I'm so excited to throw them out, clear my plans for the day, and head to the mall to shop for a new pair of jeans!" Said no one ever. Shopping for a pair of jeans was so simple when I was younger. I grabbed my size and went directly to the cash register. But somewhere along the line it got so much more complicated. Last weekend I went to the Mall of America in search of a new pair of jeans. And that is when my rage reached new heights. I've had trouble finding the perfect pair of jeans in the past, but never quite like this. This was denim(牛仔布) nightmare. I went to nine different stores and probably tried on thousands of different pairs. Skinny jeans, flare jeans, boyfriend fit, low rise, bell-bottom, high waisted-even the dreaded slim fit--and still nothing was working. And don't even get me started on the sizing situation. I feel like every store I walk into I have a different jean size. There's waist sizing, which is 24 through 32, and then there's U.S. sizing, which is double zero through 14. And that doesn't even include length. It's a lot to take in. And it's not just the denim, it's everything that comes along with trying on denim. It's the squeezing of skin, the horrific dressing room lighting and the exhausting dance you have to do every time you're trying to get the jeans over your bottom. In a determined attempt to save this horrible experience of shopping endless hours for denim, I made my way to the Smith's store. I usually wouldn't walk into Smith's because I don't like to spend more than $50 on a pair of jeans, but I had reached my breaking point. After all, Smith's is one of good designers of blue jeans. And they've been making jeans for decades. So, I think they have a pretty good grip on what great denim involves. Unfortunately, still nothing. My spirit was broken. Maybe the perfect pair of blue jeans just isn't in the cards for me. With that being said, I've come to the conclusion that I'm going to live in leggings(女式紧身裤) for the rest of my life. What does the author imply in paragraph 1?
