Face-to-face communication involves much more...

Face-to-face communication involves much more than the spoken word．In fact, we often communicate our feelings to others through our body language without realizing we are doing so．We communicate through posture, gesture and facial expression．But the eyes also play an important part in this unspoken language．William Shakespeare called the eyes "a window to the soul," and you can learn to look through that window and better understand a person's body language by reading eye movement．

Begin a conversation and ask a simple question．Watch carefully for eye movement during the response．If the person looks up, he or she is thinking or forming pictures．This is also a sign of a visual thinker．Looking up and to the left shows recalling a memory, while looking up and to the right could show imaginative construction or lying．

If the person looks down, this could be a sign of obedience or even blame．Looking down and to the left can show a person talking to themselves．Looking down and to the right can show that they are feeling strong emotion．

Looking sideways can indicate distraction or checking out a potential threat, hut a sideways glance can also show anger．In addition, eyes that look side to side often show shiftiness and lying．

A glance usually indicates a desire for something．Glancing at a door could show a desire to leave the room, while a glance, at a person could indicate a desire to talk to them．A glance is also used when it is forbidden to look at something．

A person who is lying to you may hold eye contact longer than normal．In addition, this person might smile with his mouth but not with his eyes．Smiling with the eyes is difficult to do if the emotion is not genuine．

Rapid blinking（眨）of the eyes can occur when a person is thinking, and this can also be another sign of lying．Again, a person who is aware of this sign might overcompensate and stare．

1.．The writer supported his argument in the first paragraph by ____________．

A．using a quotation                    B．defining the body language

Time talks. It speaks more plainly than words. Time communicates in many ways.

Consider the different parts of the day, for example. The time of the day when something is done can give a special meaning to the event. It is not customary to telephone someone every early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it is a matter of life or death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance.

In social life, time plays a very important part. In the United States, guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But this is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten.

The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings often arise between people from cultures that treat time differently. Promptness(准时) is valued highly in American life, for example. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible. In the U.S., no one would think of keeping a business partner waiting for an hour; it would be too impolite. A person who is five minutes late is expected to make a short apology.

This way of treating time is quite different from that of several other cultures. This helps to explain the unfortunate experience of a certain agriculturist from the United States, assigned to duty in another country. After a long delay, the agriculturist was finally agreed an appointment with the Minister of Agriculture. Arriving a little before the appointed hour, the agriculturist waited. The hour came and passed. At this point he suggested to the secretary that perhaps the minister did not know he was waiting in the outer office. This gave him the feeling of having done something to solve the problem, but he had not. Twenty minutes passed, then thirty, then forty-five. To an American, that is the beginning of the “insult period”. No matter what is said in apology, there is little that can remove the damage done by an hour’s wait in an outer office. Yet in the country where this story took place, a forty-five-minute waiting period was not unusual.

In the West, particularly in the United States, people tend to think of time as something fixed in nature. As a rule, Americans think of time as a road stretching into the future, along which one progresses. The road has many sections, which are to be kept separate— “one thing at a time”. People who cannot plan events are not highly regarded. Thus, an American may feel angry when he has made an appointment with someone and then finds a lot of other things happening at the same time.

Since time has such different meanings in different cultures, communication is often difficult. We will understand each other a little better if we can keep this fact in mind.

1.According to the passage, an announcement broadcast during class must be very important　 because ________．

A.it is a customary time to make. B.it makes everyone surprised.

C.it requires immediate attention. D.it speaks more plainly than words.

2.The author mentions an agriculturist’s experience in order to show ________．

A.the value of promptness for Americans.

B.the cultural differences in treating time.

C.the bad manners of the Minister of Agriculture.

D.the importance of time in different parts of the day.

3.The underlined word “insult” in Paragraph5 probably means ________．

A.boring. B.patient.

C.shameful. D.hopeless.

4.We can learn from the passage that people will understand better if ________．

A.they are concerned with the value of time.

B.they know how to communicate with each other.

C.they escape dealing with many things at one appointed time.

D.they keep in mind that different cultures treat time differently.

Although the United States covers so much land and the land produces far more food than the present population needs, its people are by now almost entirely an urban society. Less than a tenth of the people are engaged in agriculture and forestry(林业), and most of the rest live in or around towns, small and large. Here the traditional picture is changing: every small town may still be very like other small towns, and the typical small town may represent a widely accepted view of the country, but most Americans do not live in small towns any more. Half the population now lives in some thirty metropolitan areas(large cities with their suburbs ) of more than a million people each – a large proportion than in Germany or English, let alone France. The statistics(统计) of urban and rural population should be treated with caution because so many people who live in areas classified as rural travel by car to work in a nearby town each day. As the rush to live out of town continues, rural areas within reach of towns are gradually filled with houses, so that it is hard to say at what moment a piece of country becomes a suburb. But more and more the typical American lives in a metropolitan rather than a small town environment.

1.If now America has 250 million people．how many of them are engaged in agriculture and forestry?

A．About 25 million．　　　　 B．More than 25 million．

C．Less than 25 million．　 D. Less than 225 million．

2.Which of the following four countries has the smallest proportion of people living in metropolitan areas?

A．United States　 B．Germany　 C．France　 D．England

3.What’s the meaning of the word “metropolitan” in the middle of the passage?

A. Of a large city with its suburbs．

B．Of small and large towns．

C．Of urban areas．

D．Of rural areas．

4.　 According to the passage，what can we learn about small towns in the United States?

A．Most small towns become gradually crowded．

B．Small towns are still similar to each other．

C．As the traditional picture is changing，towns are different．

D .Small towns are turning into large cities．

5.Why is it hard to say when a piece of country becomes a suburb?
