                            笑脸

                              张新平

老熊自登上农业局局长的宝座以后就整天板着个脸,不苟言笑,特显威严。除了见到上级领导偶有笑脸外,很少对人笑过。因此,机关的同志们私下传言,熊局长不会笑。

这种传言有点夸张,其实在他未升到局长之前,也笑得光辉灿烂,这很多人都知道。那时他在农技站当站长,见了局领导一脸甜蜜的笑脸。即使见了局机关的办事员也是点头哈腰,满脸尊敬的笑容。

当今,一阔就变脸,似乎已习以为常,但老熊表现得尤为突出。他明白欲树权威,不变不行。绝不能再像从前那样嘻嘻哈哈,上下级要保持一定距离。更不能让下级知道你的所思所想。不然,不会有人敬畏你。至于下级说你架子大不好接近,无所谓,小蚂虾不起大浪花。

后来,县里抓农业的副县长调往市里,据说要从农业局、农委和畜牧局三局长中选拔一名副县长。老熊得知后又是高兴,又是着急。他急忙通过关系找到市里某领导。这位领导告诉他,不要东奔西跑了。如今提拔干部,不再是上头提名下面画圈了,而是首先进行民主推荐,若反对率达20%,不得任用。他听罢暗自叫苦,后悔平时不该在局里故作威严,疏远下级,倘若有一小部分人投反对票,岂不是竹篮打水吗他一时愁眉不展。

夫人看老熊茶饭不思,知道他心中有事。问清原因后,夫人说,这事还不好办,你不会见人笑笑吗

一句话把老熊点醒。是啊,自己过去不是会笑嘛,而且靠着笑脸一步步上了台阶。眼下要取悦人心,必须在笑上做文章。于是,他面对着夫人笑了几下,不料长久不笑,怎么也笑不好,不是笑得生硬,就是笑得古怪。总之,再也达不到从前那种______恰到好处的境界了

双休日,老熊闭门不出,对着墙上的镜子练笑。他还让夫人买回几张笑星的碟子,照着上面反反复复地学笑。谁知,直练得他面颊生疼口干舌燥,却越笑越假,越笑越难看。

星期一早晨,老熊早早来到局门口转悠,等待给人送笑脸。不一会儿办公室的老金来上班,他急忙迎上去,先“嘿嘿”一笑,后说声老金你好,接下来又是“嘿嘿”一笑,别的无话。老金颇感惊愕,心想熊局长今天咋一反常态不是吃错药,就是神经出了问题。他啥话没说,赶紧溜之大吉。

随后过来的是刚分来的大学生小胡,老熊还不知道叫啥子,但他心里清楚,越是刚来的年轻人越容易笼络。于是他不等小胡走近,就迎上去“嘿嘿”一笑,唤了声小胡,又“嘿嘿”一笑。别的无话。小胡心里咯噔一怔,不是做梦吧。自上班一个多月来,从没见过局长的笑脸,再说局长笑得也不自然,局长不是患了面瘫,就是得了神经病,他急急忙忙离去。

不到半小时,老熊就给机关的十几个人送去了笑脸。所有接受笑脸的人,一个个都感到惊讶,均暗思熊局长不是有天大的喜事,就是神经出了毛病,都匆匆溜掉了。

老熊意犹未尽,又挨个办公室走了一遍,给那些没见到的下级补送了一个笑脸。结果,人人感到惊愕,个个觉得害怕。

一连数日都是如此,整个机关办公楼里一下子盈满了神秘兮兮的笑脸,搅得人心惶惶,坐立不安。大伙儿讨论后一致认为,肯定能局长神经出了毛病。

不久,组织部门来局里进行民意测评,熊局长因为推选率不到20%而落选。他又气又恨,第二天,就住进了医院……

对“不料长久不笑,怎么也笑不好,不是笑得生硬,就是笑得古怪”理解正确的一项是()。

A.长久不笑,脸上的肌肉太僵硬了。

B.过去不苟言笑,现在想笑也笑不起来。

C.因为没有可笑的话题所以装不像。

D.不是发自内心的笑,怎么学也是假的。

答案

参考答案:D

解析:

老熊对下级同事笑是为了当副县长,因此不是发自内心,所以怎么学也是假的。

When Dance Speaks the Unspoken and No Language Is Required

当舞蹈说出没有说出的话,就无需语言了

A complete dancer today, is well trained in more than one discipline. The European dance scene has seen a rebirth of the influence of Spanish dance with the fusion of Flamenco and Classical Spanish Dance with other styles. The excitements of these fusions are very present in the Bay Area, which is America’s hotbed of Flamenco.

This heat wave of creation, arrived last summer in Walnut Creek with the premiere concert season of Carolina Lugo’s Brisas de Espa—a Flamenco Dance Company. Carolina’s company not only presents the powerful intense energy of solo flamenco but the grace and joy of classical dances. She herself was trained in classical Spanish dance, which is a world apart from the introverted nature of flamenco, with its familiar roots of the earth. What ballet gives to both her traditions, is the physical strength of movement that seeks light and takes to the air. Perhaps, where these very different traditions flow within her blood we have the true creative force of Ms. Lugo’s work. Each tradition is like a river joining to form an even more powerful force with its own life. During a rehearsal in preparation for Brisas appearance with the Eagles, Clint Black, and Bruce Hornsby at the benefit concert for Tony La Russa’s Animal Rescue Foundation, Carolina explained her intense passion for dance. When a dancer is on stage, it goes without saying, they must be one with the music. Without this connection to the music, movement, and yourself, a dancer is only counting steps and performing routines. The heart of the dancer’s work is to embrace the audience with the depth of our lives and the fiery sensuality of dancing. The magic of performing is for the dancers and the audience to experience our fierce pride, love, happiness and tears. The art of Flamenco is the completeness of being, which the Gypsies of

Spain refer to as "duende", the possession of the sole. This quality, when it present, casts a spell over the audience and everyone becomes involved.

The gift of the modern age is that with the speed of travel and communications we are able to emerge in the changes of the world’s cultures. Intemational artist Manuel Manolo Betanzos will be returning from a world tour for a month of performances and dance workshops with the company. Carolina believes that Manolo’s fused style of dance makes him one of Spain’s best dancers. He was trained in the earthy traditions of flamenco and the elegance of classical Spanish dance by many of the greatest maestros in Spain. His commanding presence on stage last summer earned him the admiration of local dance fans. Pepe Haro also from Spain will join the company as guest guitarist. His playing and musical arrangements bring power to every chord, shading and singing melodic line and above all, a rich rhythmic pulse.

Exploring the emotions and feelings of flamenco has been a profound journey for Carolina. She was recently awarded a grand from the Diablo Regional Arts Association to further her own exploration of dance fusion and will collaborate for this year’s performance with Brazilian Samba Queen, Katia Vaz. Carolina will present the World Premier of Dance Without Borders (Bailes Sin Fronteras). She promises that this work will be a moment, when dance speaks the unspoken and no language is required, only the passion to dance free of limitations. Both Spanish and Brazilian music and dance are diverse and represent a vast m lange of cultural similarities and differences. The emotions of life are the fundamental pieces of both dance traditions. Carofina and Katia, will be joined by Carolina Acea, daughter of Carolina an American original whose style has been influenced by both traditions. The music will be sung both in Spanish and Portuguese by Roberto Zamora and Patricia Velasquez. Carolina explains that the artistic essence of both Flamenco and Samba is their expression of a gamut of feelings about life, embodied with an attitude.

The so-called "gift of the modem age" is present in ().

A. the great artist’ joining the company for performance at ease

B. traveling by air and communicating through the Internet

C. the fast changing of world’s cultures

D. the emergence international artists one after another
