Brief History of the World’s Fair

World‘s Fairs originated in the French tradition of national exhibitions, a tradition that ended with the French Industrial Exposition of 1844 held in Pairs. It was soon followed by other national ___51___, in continental Europe, and finally came to London ___52___ the first real international exhibition was held. Since their start in 1851, the ___53___ of world expositions has developed gradually. Three eras can be distinguished: the era of industrialization, the era of cultural exchange, and the era of nation branding. Industrialization (1851-1938)

The first era could be called the era of industrialization and covered the period from 1851to 1938. In these days, world expositions were ___54___ focused on trade and famous for the display of technological inventions and advancements. World expositions were the ___55___, where the state of the art in science and technology from around the world was brought together. Inventions such as the telephone were first presented during this era. An important part of the ___56___ of World‘s Fairs stems from this first era. ___57___exchange (1939-1991)

The 1939 New York World‘s Fair and the 1949 Stockholm World‘s Fair were different from the original focus of the expositions. From then on, World‘s Fairs became more strongly based on a ___58___ theme of cultural significance, and began to address issues of humankind. Technology and inventions remained ___59___, but no longer as the principal subjects of the Fair. Cross-cultural dialogue and the exchange of solutions became ___60___ elements of the expos. It was also during this time, specifically in the 1960s, that BIE organizers started calling World‘s Fair ―Expos‖. Nation branding (1992-present)

From Expo‘88 in Brisbane onwards, countries started to use World Expositions more widely and more strongly as a platform to improve their national images through their pavilions. Finland, Japan, Canada, France and Spain are cases in point. A large study by Tjaco Walvis called ―Expo 2000 Hanover in Numbers‖ showed that improving national images was the primary participation goal for 73% of the countries at Expo 2000. In a world where a strong national image is a key asset(财产), pavilions became advertising ___61___, and the Expo a channel for nation branding. ___62___, cultural and symbolic reasons, organizing countries (and the cities and regions hosting them) also use the world exposition to brand themselves.

Many people think that listening is a passive business. It is just the ___51___ one. Listening well is an active exercise of our attention and hard work. It is because they do not realize this, or because they are not ___52___ to do the work, that most people do not listen well.

Listening well also requires total ___53___ upon someone else. An essential part of listening well is the rule known as ?bracketing‘. Bracketing includes the temporary giving up or ___54___ of your own prejudices and desires, to experience as far as possible someone else‘s world from the inside, stepping into his or her shoes. ___55___, since listening well involves bracketing, it also involves a temporary ___56___ of the other person. Sensing this acceptance, the speaker will seem quite willing to ___57___ up the inner part of his or her mind to the listener. True communication is under way and the energy required for listening well is so great that it can be ___58___ only by the will to extend oneself for mutual growth.

Most of the time we ___59___ this energy. Even though we may feel in our business dealings or social relationships that we are listening well, what we are usually doing is listening ___60___. Often we have a prepared list in mind and wonder, as we listen, how we can achieve certain ___61___ results to get the conversation over as quickly as possible or redirected in ways more satisfactory to us. Many of us are far more interested in talking than in listening, or we simply ___62___ to listen to what we don‘t want to hear.

It wasn‘t until toward the end of my doctor career that I have found the knowledge that one is being truly listened to is frequently therapeutic(有疗效的) In about a quarter of the patients I saw, ___63___ improvement was shown during the first few months of psychotherapy, before any of the ___64___ of problems had been uncovered or explained. There are several reasons for this phenomenon, but chief among them, I believe, was the patient‘s ___65___ that he or she was being truly listened to, often for the first time in years, and for some, perhaps for the first time ever.

You may have been told before not to be afraid of anything. Fear is often associated with weakness. Fear is something to be ___51___.

But that‘s not true, according to Time For Kids magazine. Fear can be good for us.

Fear tells us about ___52___. Without fear, we wouldn‘t know to run away from a tiger or step back from a cliff.

In a study published in the Justice Quarterly journal in August, researchers from Michigan State University said that a healthy fear or crime keeps teenagers away from ___53___ dangerous people, places, and activities.

Fear makes us jump, scream and sweat. But ___54___, sometimes we make ourselves feel fear ___55___. Think about scary books and movies, and also the long lines for a scary roller coaster ride. Margee Kerr, a US sociologist, explained why to Time For Kids. Fear ___56___ our brain with ___57___ chemical substances, especially endorphins and dopamine (内啡肽和多巴胺), and these things create feelings of happiness and ___58___ us, according to Kerr.

___59___, when you‘re scared, your body produces a chemical which helps people ___60___ with each other. ―Watch people walking out of a haunted house (鬼屋), and you‘ll see lots of smiles and high fives,‖ Kerr told Time For Kids. That also explains why schools and companies organize ___61___ trips and physical activities to ___62___ team spirit.

People ___63___ and deal with fear in different ways. If you happen to be a ―coward‖ (胆小的) who gets scared easily, don‘t worry. There is some evidence that being scared can help a person manage stressful situations. Kerr said that things like giving a presentation in front of your class or performing in a school play help build a sort of ___64___ to fear that makes us more confident. ―You become more comfortable with the physical experience of fear, and so you are better able to work through it during ___65___ situations,‖ said Kerr.

So learn to love your fear. It only grows when we forget how helpful our fear is trying to be.
