Have you ever wondered why you sometimes take an almost immediate liking to a person you have just met? We often get the first impression of a people based on the color of a person’s skin or the manner in which he or she dressed. Meaning is conveyed not only by words or verbal languages but also by nonverbal communication systems, such as body behaviors.

Nonverbal communication is important because we use the actions of others to learn about their affective emotional states .Our emotions are reflected in our posture, face, and eyes—be it fear, joy, anger, or sadness—so we can express them without ever saying a word .For this reason, most of us rely heavily on what we learn through our eyes.

Nonverbal communication is significant in human interaction because it is usually responsible for the first impressions. More importantly, those first messages usually influence the perception(感知) of everything else that follows. Even how we select friends and sexual partners is grounded in first impressions with nonverbal communication.

Nonverbal communication is important because it is culture-related. It is based on different beliefs, religions, values and customs in different cultures. When, where, how, and to whom people display his or her specific nonverbal behaviors is greatly affected by culture and context. Culture determines what the appropriate nonverbal behavior is. For example, feelings of friendship exist everywhere but their expression varies. It may be appropriate in some countries for man to embrace each other and for women to hold hands; in other countries these displays of affection may be shocking. Each culture has its own specific interpretation on nonverbal communication. What is acceptable in one culture may be completely unacceptable in another. One culture may determine that snapping fingers to call a waiter is acceptable; another may consider this gesture rude.

1. What is the best title of the passage ?

2. We can know a person’s feeling through our eyes because_________.

3. Which of the following statements is not True ?

4.What can we conclude from the last paragraph ?

Sometimes your expectations don’t survive. But you have to make it through.

After a lengthy visa application procedure, I left my father with our dog, jumped on a flight, and there I was in London. Since Europe is an aspiration in my country, I had imagined it as a place where things always worked perfectly. I was alone in dealing with all kinds of problems as they arose, that was alright and this is how I became my own “special person” during my Erasmus exchange.

The accommodation I could afford was far from the city. To make things worse, I was new to many things, and definitely an outsider. But it wasn’t an exception to carelessness, I found out. My dorm was in a silent neighborhood. Little did I know that those calm streets would he visited by loud fire trucks...And because of me!

That morning, I closed the kitchen door after placing some bread in the toaster. I was still half asleep and looking for what to wear. For some reason, the automatic mechanism of the toaster to push the slices up didn’t work. When I went back to the kitchen. It was full of thick white smoke. Coughing hard, I opened the windows, stepped outside the door for a breath, and then went in again to reach for the fire extinguisher(灭火器). It was the first time I used one, and had to get out of the kitchen to be able to see how to unlock it. It was only then the lire alarm went off! I went in again and made sure I put off the fire.

Nothing was like how I planned. A few times I hung out in the school cafeteria, but couldn’t make friends. I went to discover the city, alone. Independence wasn’t something to be ashamed of after all. I wish I had made friends with people, but it turned out that I had to learn I wasn’t in need of others’ company to enjoy life. I tried to make the best of my time, thinking that being alone is a blessing too, just like being with friends is. My international experiences that followed definitely made me more social, but now I know that being alone is not a weakness, but a part of life embrace. Just like our mistakes, carelessness or bad luck, I can say it was during my time in London that I learnt I was, despite everything, a strong and special person who can cope with (处理) anything that comes her way.

1.What does the underlined words “it wasn’t an exception to carelessness” probably refer to?

A. I was careless to cause a fire

B. I shouldn’t be careless in a foreign country

C. I was supposed to handle hardships abroad on my own

D. the accommodation of exchange students is always out-of-the-way

2.How did the author feel about his experience when living abroad by himself?

A. Helpless.　　 B. Meaningless.

C. Fruitful.　　 D. Regretful.

3.We can learn from the second paragraph that the author ________.

A. had expected everything abroad would go smoothly before leaving his country.

B. hadn’t been prepared to handle the problems abroad before going

C. got his visa without much difficulty

D. went abroad with his dog

4.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

高三英语阅读理解中等难度题查看答案及解析

Sometimes, you just can’t say no to another spoonful of ice cream and maybe one more after that. Why not? You deserve it.

There’s no need to beat yourself up about it later. The truth is that you were probably bound to do that from the very first spoonful. That’s because there is a switch in your brain, and for whatever reason, it can get stuck in the “on” position.

According to a new study, this impulse (冲动) control may come down to a very specific circuit (回答) in the brain which occasionally produces melanin-concentrating hormone, or MCH—a chemical linked with our desire for food or drugs. And that circuit always says yes.

By manipulating this circuit, it is possible that we might be able to develop cures for overeating that help people stick to a diet without reducing normal appetite or making delicious foods like donuts less delicious.

For their research, the scientists treated rats to a self-serve buffet. Bur the treats were on a timed delivery system, making tasty food every 20 seconds, and only when a rat pressed a lever (杠杆). Hit that lever too early—as impatient test subjects occasionally did—and the counter would start from scratch. Lever-happy rats would have to wait another cycle before the food became available again.

A second experiment offered the rats two dining options. Push Lever A and get an immediate small reward. Pushing Lever B meants waiting for around40 seconds, but the food reward would be much bigger. Guess which lever those impatient rats were most food of? That’s right. They picked the now-now-now switch.

Their impulsiveness, however, rose sharply when scientists gave the rats MCH. These animals become more impulsive. MCH, it seemed, could talk rats into loosening its inhibitions (拘束). The result? More please.

Researchers can now see where that conversation between the brain’s reward system and its impulse control center takes place. The next step will be to map it—and potentially influence the discussion. It may eventually be possible to control a food-eating impulse.

1.Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “manipulating” in paragraph 4?

A.Strengthening. B.Controlling.

C.Classifying. D.Creating.

2.What would happen when a rat pressed a lever earlier than the fixed time?

A.A bigger food reward would appear.

B.Tasty food would be delivered much sooner.

C.Longer time would be needed for food to appear.

D.The lever would be stopped form delivering food.

3.Why did the researchers conduct the experiments?

A.To find out the effect of MCH on animals.

B.To prove rats are also greedy for more food.

C.To study how levers influence rats’ impulse.

D.To show rats and humans have similar impulse for food.

4.What is the best title for the text?

A.What Is the Effect of Your Impulse?

B.What Can You Do to Resist More Food?

C.Why Can’t You Say “No” to Your Impulse?

D.Why Do You Always Give in to One More Mouthful?

Have you ever been in a situation where you have done something just to make someone else happy?

You think that you are making yourself happy. 　 1.　 I have done that many times because I wanted to impress people or I thought that if I made someone else happy it would certainly make me happy. I understand that all of us want our close friends and family to be proud of us, so we work hard in school or in our careers to meet their expectations. 　 2.　 But if you are trying to realize other people’s dreams without keeping yourself satisfied, you will never be happy.

If you follow other people’s wishes but cannot be true to yourself, you will have a hard time feeling great about yourself.
