Body language shows all kinds of feelings and...

Body language shows all kinds of feelings and is sometimes more important than spoken language.A smile is a usual facial expression----it shows that you are friendly to others. However, it does not always mean that you are happy. A smile can hide other feelings, like anger, fear, or worry.

In most countries, nodding the head up and down shows agreement, while shaking the head means that you do not agree, or that you would not like to do something. If you stand holding your arms across your chest, you may be protecting yourself---just from a conversation you do not want! If you sit looking at the person you are talking to and then turn toward to him, it shows that you are interested. If you roll your eyes and turn your head away, most likely you do not believe what you are hearing, or you do not like what you hear.

1.Body language shows__________.

A．all kinds of feelings                      B．some special feelings

C．nothing                               D．only happy feelings

2.When a person smiles, ______________.

A．it always shows he is very happy

C．there may be some other feelings behind the smile.

D．it shows he is angry, worried or frightened.

3.______________, nodding heads up and down shows he agrees with you.

A．In most countries                       B．In all countries

C．In some countries                       D．In Western Countries

4.If a man stands holding his arms across his chest, it means __________.

A．he wants to protect himself from a conversation he doesn’t want

Body language is the quiet, secret and most powerful language of all! It is said that our body movements communicate about 50 percent of what we really mean while words only express 7 percent. So, while your mouth is closed, your body is just saying..

Arms. How you hold your arms shows how open and receptive(能容纳的) you are to people you meet. If you keep your arms to the sides of your body or behind your back, this suggests you are not afraid of anything. Outgoing people generally use their arms with big movements, while quieter people keep them close to their bodies. If someone upsets you, just cross your arms to show you're unhappy!

Head. When you want to appear confident, keep your head level（水平）. However, to be friendly in listening or speaking, you must move your head a little.

Legs. Your legs will move around a lot more than usual when you are nervous or telling lies.

Posture (姿势). A good posture makes you feel better about yourself. If you are feeling unhappy, you usually don't sit straight, with your shoulders inwards. This makes breathing more difficult and makes you feel nervous or uncomfortable.

________________________ Face. When you lie, you might put on a false face. But that expression would not last long.　 And your true emotions such as happiness, sadness, fear and so on will come through.

One of the things to be learnt in a foreign language is guessing all the time what kind of thing to come when listening to someone talking. People do this all the time in their own language, so it is necessary (必要的) to do this in a foreign language, too. Here are some examples.

1. "What's the matter？" "I went to a party last night, so I…"

2. "I feel so tired these days."" I think you'd better…"

3."Of course, she never stops talking. She is one of the most…"

You can see from the above three examples that the context (上下文) helps a lot in understanding what is being talked about. So "guessing "is very important in understanding English, especially (尤其)spoken English.

1.This passage tells us mainly about _________.

A. the importance of "guessing " in learning a foreign language

B. how to guess what one is going to talk about

C. some examples of right guessing

You experience and create all kinds of different energies that decide how you feel and what you do in your day. The things you say, think or do all produce energy that influences (影响) you and the people around you. If you work on creating more positive energy (正能量),you'll see improvements in your life and you'll touch more lives than you thought.

Energy comes in different forms, but all lead to some kind of reaction (反应) within us .Often, when I wake up I open the curtains(窗帘) to let the sunshine into the room. This is a great way to become energized in the morning. If it's raining, instead of letting it trouble me, I will find the good in it. I will be positive about the rain and look for the beauty in it. Whatever the weather, I fully enjoy the moment. So everything is beautiful energy.

The reason why we should focus on positive energy is that it is contagious(有感染力的).When you often take in the positive energy from people around you, it will be seen in the outer world.

My good friend Alex is perhaps the best example of this. He always goes to school with a bright smile on his face. He loves being close to nature and fully understands the beauty around him. He confidently keeps working towards his goal without worrying about whether he will succeed or not. I couldn't begin to tell you how many times people have told me stories about Alex making their day, or making them smile or simply making them feel good. Everyone loves being around him and they feed off his energy.

Some people think that positive energy is not easy to have, however, it's something we create in our day-to-day activities. If music is the easiest way for you to get energy, you can close your eyes to fully enjoy it. If being in nature is something that energizes you, try spending a little more time outdoors. When you create positive energy, it influences everything and everyone around you .In this way, we play a much larger part in the bigger picture than we realize.

1.What can we learn from the passage?

A.Positive energy depends on good weather.

B.Music is the easiest way to get positive energy

C.The creation of positive energy helps make your life better.

D.People cant get positive energy through day-to-day activities.

2.The example of Alex in the passage is to show___________.

A.everyone needs a good friend like Alex

B.some find it difficult to enjoy the moment

C.people with positive energy can influence others

D.a person can make many friends by sharing positive energy

3.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A.Living a Long Life with Positive Energy

B.Creating Positive Energy for Positive Change

C.The Challenge of Making Positive Changes in Life

D.Different Kinds of Energy for Different Kinds of People

DNA is the whole “map” of the human body. It is something that all human have, and it tells the body what to do. DNA is the reason that we look like our parents, because we get some of their DNA to make our own.

People have been trying to understand the human body for a long time. In 1860, Mr. Mendel discovered why we look the same as other people in our family. It is because of small things called “genes”(基因) in our body. In 1953, two scientists, Watson and Crick, found out that those small parts are really messages. They’re written in the DNA with a special language.

In 1961, another two scientists found the first “word” that they could understand in that language. It shows how DNA tells the cell(细胞) to build its parts. So far, scientists have found all the words in the DNA map, but we still do not understand what they all do. By understanding what just one “word” means, we can help to save people from several illnesses. So the more we understand, the more doctors will be able to do.

Most people hope that this will help to make better medicine and help sick people. Other people worry that when we learn more “words” and find out more information, we will use it in the wrong way, just to make people more attractive(吸引人的), or stop sick people getting jobs.

1.What did the two scientists find in 1961? They found ______.

A. all the words in the DNA map

B. small things called “genes” in our body

C. the first “word” they could understand in that language

D. those small parts are written in the DNA with a special language

2.Which one is not true according to the article?

A. We look like our parents because of “genes” in our body.

B. We have understood what all the words in the DNA map do.

C. DNA is the whole “map” of the human body.

D. DNA tells the cell to build its parts.

3.What do people think about this research about DNA?

A. It can be only bad.　　 B. It can be only good.

C. It can be good but won’t work.　　 D. It can be good and bad.

4.How can we help sick people if we understand more “words” in the DNA map?

A. Make better medicine.　　 B. Make them get jobs.

C. Make maps for them.　　 D. Make them attractive.
