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 person 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 men 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.

TV Affects dreams

We have dreams almost every night. Do you ever notice the colors of your dreams? Do you dream in black and white or do you dream in yellow, red and green?

New research suggests that the type of television you watched as a child has a great effect on the color of your dreams.

While almost all people under 25 dream in color, thousands of people over 55, all of whom were brought up with black and white TV sets, often dream in monochrome(黑白画面)。

“It suggests there could be a critical period in our childhood when watching films has a big impact on the way dreams are formed”, said Eva Murzyn, a psychology student at Dundee University in Britain who carried out the study.

Research from 1915 through the 1950s suggested that the vast majority of dreams are in black and white. But the tide(潮流) turned in the sixties, and later results suggested that up to 83 percent of dreams contain some color.

Since this period also marked the transition(过渡) between black-and-white film and TV and Technicolor(印染法彩色)，an obvious explanation was that the media had been painting people’s dreams. However, there weren’t any firm conclusions.

But now Miss Murzyn believes she has proven the link. She made a survey of more than 60 people, half of whom were over 55 and half of whom were under 25.

She asked the volunteers to answer a questionnaire on the color of their dreams and their childhood exposure to film and TV.

She then analyzed her own data. Only 4.4 percent of the under-25s’ dreams were black and white. The over-55s who had had access to color TV and film during their childhood also reported a very low proportion of just 7.3 percent.

But the over-55s who only had access to black-and –white media reported dreaming in black and white about a quarter of the time.

Even though they would have spent only a few hours a day watching TV or films, their attention and emotion would have been heightened during this time, leaving a deeper imprint on their mind, Miss Murzyn told the New Scientist.

“The crucial time is between three and ten when we all begin to have the ability to dream”, she said.

1.What’s the main idea of the passage?

A. The relationship between dream color and types of television and films people watch.

B. The relationship between dreams and types of television and films that people watch.

C. The relationship between people’s dreams and colors that they see in their life.

D. The relationship between dream color and the age of the people.

2.From the text, we can see that ___________.

A. all people who are below 25 dream in color

B. watching TV or films probably affects dream color

C. people over 55 always dream in monochrome

D. people begin to dream when they are 10 years old

3. Which is WRONG according to the passage?

A. Miss Murzyn thought she has proved the connection between dream color and TV and films.

B. The 1960s was a time which marked a transition in dream color.

C. The period between 3 and 10 is an important time in forming dreams.

D. Eva Murzyn is a professor at Dundee University in Britain.

4.In which magazine can you find the article?

Why is setting goals important? Because goals can help you do, be, and experience everything you want in life. Instead of just letting life happen to you, goals allow you to make your life happen.

Successful people imagine how their life should be and set lots of goals. By setting goals you are taking control of your life. It’s like having a map to show you where you want to go. Think of it this way. There are two drivers. One has a destination in mind (her goal) which can be found on a map. She can drive straight there without any wasted time or wrong turns. The other driver has no goal or destination or map. She starts off at the same time from the same place as the first driver, but she drives aimlessly around, never getting anywhere, just using up gas. Which driver do you want to be?

Winners in life set foals and follow through on them. They decide what they want in life and then get there by making plans and setting goals. Unsuccessful people just let life happen by accident. Goals aren’t difficult to set---and they aren’t difficult to reach. It’s up to you to find out what your goals really are. You are the one who must decide what to achieve and in what direction to aim your life.

Research tells us that when we write a goal down we are more likely to achieve it. Written goals can be reviewed regularly, and have more power. Like a contract with yourself, they are harder to neglect or forget. Also when you write your goals in a particular way, you are able to make yourself continuously aware of situations that will bring you nearer to your goals.

1..

The article is written to throw light on ______.

A. the importance of setting goals               B. the way of setting goals

C. the winners of competitions                   D. the goals in life

2..

The example of two drivers is adopted in order to ______.

A. compare the difference of goals                       B. explain the traffic rules

C. help readers understand the importance of goals           D. tell the function of a map

3..

The main idea of the fourth paragraph is that ______.

A. it’s better to write a goal down          B. written goals can’t be forgotten easily

C. try to make yourself aware of your goals    D. written goals can be reviewed regularly

Why do you go to the library? For books, yes—but you like books because they tell stories. You hope to get lost in a story or be transported into someone else’s life. At one type of library you can do just that—even though there’s not a single book.

At a Human Library, instead of books, you can “borrow” people. People with unique life stories volunteer to be the “books.” For a certain amount of time, you can ask them questions and listen to their stories, which are as fascinating as any you can find in a book. (If you attend, be sure to review the habits that make you a good listener.) Many of the stories have to do with some kind of depressing topic. You can speak with a refugee, a soldier suffering from PTSD（创伤后遗症）, a homeless person and a woman living with HIV. The Human Library encourages people

to take time to truly get to know and learn from someone they might otherwise make a snap judgement about. According to its website, the Human Library is “a place where difficult questions are expected, appreciated and answered.”

The Human Library Organization came to be in Copenhagen, Denmark in 2000.Romni Abergel and his colleagues hosted a four—day event during a major Northern European festival. After the success of this event, Abergel founded the Human Library Organization, hoping to raise awareness among youth about depression, which has been growing ever since.

Though there are a few permanent human libraries, most aren’t places at all, but events. Though many do take place at physical libraries, you don’t need a library card—anyone can come and be part of the experience. There have been human library events all over the globe, in universities and in pubs, from Chicago to Tunis to Edinburgh to San Antonio. Check out the organization’s Facebook page to see when the Human Library might be arriving near you.

1.What shall we do before going to the Human Library?

A. Bring a book.　　 B. Get a library card.

C. Make an appointment.　　 D. Go over some listening habits.

2.What does the underlined word “snap” in paragraph 2 mean?

A. True　　 B. Quick.

3.Why did Ronmi Abergel found the Human Library Organization?

A. He expected to answer different questions.

B. He successfully held an event in Northern Europe.

Do you know why people yawn (打哈欠)? The most obvious answer is that we yawn because we are tired. But why does being tired make us yawn? How does yawning help us? The truth is that we don’t know the answers to these questions. Scientists have different theories about why we yawn, but nobody has been able to prove them.

The first one is the “oxygen theory”. In the past, one of the more popular theories was that we yawn in order to take more oxygen. When we yawn we breathe more deeply. According to this theory, our brains make us yawn because we need more oxygen. However, these days more and more scientists are against the oxygen theory.

The second one is the “brain cooling” theory. According to this theory, we yawn when our brains get too warm. Yawning makes our brains cooler again. When our brains are cooler, we can think more clearly. Yawning can help keep us alert (警觉). This theory hasn’t been proven yet, but many scientists think that it will be in the future.

Here are a few other interesting facts about yawning. First, yawning is contagious (可传染的). If you see another person yawn, then you will be more likely to yawn, too. Second, we yawn even before we are born. Studies have shown that babies yawn while they’re still in their mother’s stomach. They start to yawn after 24 weeks. Finally, we are more likely to yawn when we’re bored. Why is yawning contagious? Why do we yawn when we’re bored or tired? The truth is that we don’t have any answers to these questions, either.

1.What does “them” refer to at the end of the first paragraph?

A.Yawns. B.Scientists.

C.Theories. D.Questions.

2.What does the article say about the “oxygen theory”?

A.It’s the most recent theory. B.Few scientists believe it now.

C.More and more scientists believe it. D.We know that it’s correct.

3.What happens when a person’s brain is cooler?

A.The person gets more tired. B.The person is in a bad mood.

C.The person thinks more clearly. D.The person becomes less alert.

4.What can we learn from the passage?

A.We can yawn only after we are born.

B.We have known the answer why we yawn.

C.When we see another person yawn, we might yawn, too.

D.Scientists will never prove the “brain cooling” theory.
