Have you ever had the experience of talking to someone and you think they are lying? Well, you are not alone. We’ve all had that feeling. But did you know that there are several things you can look for to see if you are being lied to?

Sometimes you can tell if a person is lying by observing what they do with their body. When people are lying they tend not to move their arms, hands or legs very far from their body. They don’t want to take up very much space because they don t want to be noticed. Sometimes a person who is lying will not look you in the eyes. Other times people who lie try to look at you in a strong way because they want to convince you they are telling the trugh.

Liars also use deflection. For example, if you ask a liar the question “Did you steal Fatima’s bag?” they may answer with something like “Fatima is my friend. Why would I do that?” In this situation the person is telling the truth, but they are also not answering the question. They are trying to deflect your attention. Liars may also give too many details. They may try to over-explain things. They do this because they want to convince you of what they are saying.

Often when a person is lying, they do not want to continue talking about their lie. If you think someone is lying, quickly change the subject. If the person is lying, they will spear more comfortable because they are not talking about their lie any longer. A little later, change the subject back to what you were talking about before. If the person seems uncomfortable again, they may be lying.

It’s very hard for a liar to avoid filling silence created by you. He or she wants you to believe the lies being woven; silence gives no feedback on whether or not you’ve bought the story. If you’re a good listener, you’ll already be avoiding interruptions, which in itself is a great technique to let the story unfold.

Just because a person is showing these behaviors, it does not mean they are lying. They might be shy or nervous. But, if you think someone is lying, you might want to use some of these techniques. Hopefully, you won’t need to very often.

1.According to the passage, a person could be lying he or she ________.

A. offers more information than necessary

B. appears to be shy or nervous

C. the subject of the conversation

D. speaks very fast and vaguely

2.Which of the following can be learned from the passage?

A. Liars always try to avoid direct eye contact when they tell lies.

B. We can make people lie by changing the subject in a conversation.

C. Liars are often expansive in hand and arm movements while talking.

D. We make liars uncomfortable by giving no feedback in a conversation.

3.The passage mainly talks about ________.

A. who deceives us B. why people tell lies

C. how to detect lies D. what to do with liars

There have been big changes in the attitudes of most parents over the last few years. Physical punishment is banned(被禁止) in schools in most countries, and in many countries, there are moves to ban all physical punishment of children even at home. However, many parents still believe that they have the right to use some physical punishments to deal with certain misbehavior at certain ages.

It’s easy to find reasons to allow some physical punishments. One issue is that many parents find it very difficult to give up physical punishment completely. Parents argue that this was the way they were brought up and that it didn’t do any harm to them. They believe that for the child’s sake they have the right to discipline (惩罚) the child in any way they consider fit, including using some physical punishments. The other one is that physical punishment can be quick and effective. There is not much point reasoning with a screaming child in the supermarket.

However, there are several reasons why we should stop using physical punishment. One point is that most parents are not trained to deal with misbehaving children. They don’t have enough resources or choices to handle the situation. As a result, they immediately react by hitting the child even if there are other solutions to the problem. Another point is that unless people are challenged or forced to change their belief, they may keep following negative habits. An example is seat belt use — now most people wear seat belts without thinking, while years ago the idea of using seat belts was strange to most people. In the same way, banning physical punishment will force people to change their habits.

In conclusion, parents have to change some of their belief and ideas about how children should be raised. It is possible to avoid the use of physical force, and doing so will help us move closer to the dream of removing violence from our society.

1.According to the first paragraph, many parents think that ________.

A．most of the children behave badly in their daily life

B．they have changed their attitudes towards their children

C．physical punishment is effective to educate their children

D．they are free to use physical punishment on their children

2.Many parents won’t give up physical punishment because ________.

A．they are disappointed with their children

B．they don’t want to hurt their children badly

C．they were brought up just in the same way

D．they don’t know what to do with their children

3.The author gives the example of using seat belts in order to show ________.

A．most people are used to wearing seat belts

B．people won’t change their old habits unless forced

C．seat belts are really very necessary and useful

D．it’s not difficult to change some negative habits

4.The main purpose of the author in writing this passage is to ________.

A．talk about a ban on using physical punishment

B．tell us we should educate our children in other ways

C．advise parents to give up using physical punishment

D．suggest physical punishment should be used at home

You know you have to read “between the lines” to get the most out of anything. I want to persuade you to do something equally important in the course of your reading. You have to “mark between the lines”. By marking you can make the most efficient kind of reading.

There are two ways in which one can own a book. The first is the property (财产) right you have by paying for it, just as you pay for clothes and furniture. While full ownership comes only when you have made it a part of yourself and the best way to make yourself a part of it is by writing marks on it.

Why is marking up a book indispensable to reading? First, it keeps you awake. Second, active reading is thinking, and thinking tends to express itself in words. Finally, marking helps you remember the thoughts you had, or the thoughts the author expressed.

Reading a book should be like making a conversation, a conversation between you and the author. Although he knows more about the subject than you do, don’t let anybody tell you that a reader is only on the receiving end. Understanding is a two-way operation. Reading doesn’t mean being a passive empty receiver, the reader has to question himself and question the author. And marking a book can show his own judgment on author’s opinion: agreement or difference.

1.The author thinks “marking between the lines” is ______.

2.“To own a book” in the most important sense means “______”.

3.The underlined word “indispensable” most probably means “______”.

4.By saying “Understanding is a two-way operation” the author means_______.

5.What can be the best title for the passage?

Do you suppose Darwin, one of the greatest scientists of all time, really did foolish experiments? Or did he do experiments that were so simple and basic that other people just thought they were foolish?

Sometimes, people think they already know the answer to a question or the solution to a problem. Sometimes, they really do know an answer or a solution, but without thinking they are important.

Charles Darwin didn’t settle for(满足于)just thinking he knew something. And, he believed all things could be important however simple they seemed to be.

Suppose you drop sheets of paper that are of exactly the same size and shape. If you drop them at the same time in the same place, they will fall in the same way. Now make one of the sheets of paper into a tight little ball and let it drop along with the other sheets. What happens? You have done an experiment that is so simple that you might think it couldn’t be worth anything.

But this simple experiment is important. It explains part of our present-day understandings of physics, ideas that were worked out long ago by Galileo and Newton. And these understandings set aside some of ancient Greek physics.

Scientists sometimes stop to look at very simple things and to think very hard about them. Even the simplest idea, which we might think is foolish, can shake the foundations of science.

1. The passage tells us that Charles Darwin　　　　　 .

A. was a great English scientist

B. always liked doing the experiments that others thought difficult

C. thought even the simplest thing was important

D. didn’t get well with others

2.The underlined phrase “set aside” most probably means　　　　　 .

A. throw away　　　　 　 B. store up

C. put to use　　　　　　 D. realize

3. The author of the passage tries to　　　　　 .

A. convince us that Charles Darwin, Galileo and Newton are the greatest scientists in the world

B. draw the conclusion that basic sciences are simple things

C. prove that two sheets of paper, with the same size and shape, will fall at the same speed

D. draw our attention to everyday happenings around us

4.Which of the following is TRUE?

A. Darwin really did foolish experiments.

B. According to some people Darwin did foolish experiments.

C. It is believed by all the people that things could be important though they seemed to be simple.

D. Galileo and Newton worked out ancient Greek physics.

School days are supposed to be the best days of your life and part of that experience usually involves some unforgettable physical activities. I asked some people to give me their memories of what happened to them on the sports field and beyond, and this is what they told me.

Cup winners

When I was about ten, the football team from our year unexplainably made it to the cup final of the local schools’ league. I say unexplainably because I only remember us losing nearly every match we played. Anyway, in the final I set up the winning goal, a brilliant cross to my mate David who headed the ball in just before the final whistle. I still have a photograph of the team holding the cup.

Forest hike

I remember having to lead a group of eight boys on a school expedition for the best part of two days when I was a teenager. Even though we got lost at one point, I managed to keep them all together and get them from one end of a large forest to the other and back by sheer(纯粹的) force of will. I was chosen to be the leader, I think, because I was the only one who knew how to read a map!

When we arrived back at the campsite, we found out that all the other groups had cheated and hitched(搭便车) most of the way instead… I felt a bit stupid, but also rather proud of myself at the same time for having done it properly.

Learning to swim, learning to drown

I learned to swim comparatively late, I suppose. I was maybe nine years old but my brother had a painful experience which nearly put him off for life. We lived in the USA for a while and had access to a university pool where the coaches had trained the American Olympic team. In those days, though, their idea of teaching kids how to swim was to tie a can to their ankles with a bit of string, throw them in the deep end and shout “Swim!”. I am surprised my brother survived at all. He could only have been about six at the time.

1.The passage mainly talks about ________.

A. tips on taking part in outdoor activities

B. how people consider physical activities

C. why people love outdoor activities

D. people’s experiences of physical activities

2.What did the first person do in the school’s cup final?

A. He scored the winning goal.

B. He provided the pass for the final goal.

C. He blew the whistle at eh end of the game.

D. He lost every game in the season.

3.The underlined word “expedition” in the third paragraph has the same meaning to “________”.

A. match B. deal C. trip D. research

4.It can be learned that when the third person was young, ________.

A. he learned swimming from the same coach as his elder brother

B. the swimming coach’s teaching method was rather inconsiderate

C. his family lived near a university pool for about ten years

D. the American Olympic team had no swimming pool of its own

Most people who move to a foreign country may experience a period of time when they have a lot of stress in the new culture. This feeling is often called “culture shock” and it is important to learn how to deal with culture shock. First of all, you should know that everyone in a new situation will go through some form of culture shock. There are four general stages of cultural adjustment(适应).

The first stage is usually referred to as the honeymoon stage. Upon arriving in a new environment, you’ll be interested in the new culture. Everything will seem exciting, and everyone will seem friendly and helpful.

The second stage is called the withdrawal stage. The excitement that you felt before changes to frustration(沮丧) as you find it difficult to deal with new problems. The language is hard to learn; friends are hard to make; simple things like shopping and going to the bank are challenges. It is at this stage that you are likely to feel anxious and homesick.

If you are one of those who manage to stick it out (坚持下来), you will enter the third stage---- the recovery stage. At this point, you’ll feel more confident in the new culture. You’ll start to understand and accept the way things are done and the way people behave in your new environment.

The last stage is the stability stage---- this is the point when people start to feel at home in the new culture. At this stage, you will behave well in the new culture, and prefer some aspects(方面) of the new culture to your own culture.

There is, in a sense, a fifth stage to this process. If you decide to return home after a long period in a new culture, you may experience what is called “reverse culture shock”. This means that you may find aspects of your own culture “foreign”, because you’re so used to the new culture. Reverse culture shock is usually pretty mild(温和的) and doesn’t last for very long.

1.At the honeymoon stage, people will__________.

A. find the new culture is hard to accept

B. miss their family and friends very much

C. begin to understand what culture shock is

D. have a good impression of the new culture

2.In which stage will people feel most uncomfortable?

A. The honeymoon stage.　　　 　 B. The withdrawal stage.

C. The recovery stage.　　　　　 D. The stability stage.

3.At the stability stage, people usually feel__________.

A. lucky　　 　　　　　　 B. relaxed

C. nervous　 　　　　　 　 D. disappointed

4.Which of the following opinions does the author agree with?

A. It’s important to know that culture shock is natural.

B. People will suffer less from culture shock in future.

C. Reverse culture shock usually happens in the foreign countries.

D. Reverse culture shock is as difficult to deal with as culture shock.
