I had been feeling high, successful and important10those two words 11me. I did need help, and maybe it was not for a bus ticket or a place to sleep.

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

        Arms How you hold your arms shows how open and receptive 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 taking on whatever comes your way. 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. If you are a monitor in class, you can also take on this position when you want your words to be taken seriously. However, to be friendly in listening or speaking, you must move your head a little.

        Legs Your legs tend to move around a lot more than normal when you are nervous or telling lies. If you are at interviews, try to keep them still!

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

        Mouth When you are thinking, you often purse your lips. You might also use this position to hold back an angry comment you don't wish to show. However, it will probably still be noticed and people will know you're not pleased.

    Face When you lie, you might put on a false face. But that expression would crack briefly, allowing displays of true emotions such as happiness, sadness, disgust (厌恶) and fear to come through.

    (1)、When someone is keeping his arms behind his back, he tries to tell you that ____________.
    A、he is outgoing B、he is angry C、he is not afraid D、he is cool
    (2)、If you want to appear confident, you should _________.
    A、move your arms a lot B、keep your head level C、move your head a little D、cross your arms
    (3)、Which of the following movements tells someone is nervous?
    A、Moving around a lot more than normal. B、Not sitting straight with the shoulders inwards. C、Pursing the lips to hold back an angry comment. D、Keeping the arms to the sides of the body.
    (4)、What can we infer from the passage?
    A、Different people in different countries must have the same understanding of the same body movement. B、Body language can express more meanings than words do in communication. C、We cannot communicate with others without words. D、It's not polite to use body language in formal communication.
    (5)、Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
    A、Body language, the most commonly used language B、Arms tell more than legs C、Facial expressions tell the truth D、One simple movement lets slip secrets of mind
  • 3. 阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出能正确回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳答案。

        If the eyes are the windows of the soul, then the body is the mirror of our feelings. If we are feeling great, we may give our body signals(信号). If we look at someone else's body, we can often tell how they are feeling by their body signals. So reading body language signals is a great tool in daily communication.

        In case(假使) you think that learning how to read and use body language is not important, here are some numbers for you. 7% of the information we receive is from what people actually say, and 38% of the information we receive is from the tone(语气) and the speed of their voice; while 55% of the information we receive is from their body language.

        These non-verbal(非口头的) signals will help you a lot, but you still need to focus on what people are saying. If you focus too much on their body language signals, you and the person may feel uncomfortable. It is useful to be able to read people's body language, but it is useful to learn how to send the right signals and avoid the wrong signals too. Body language may be given several interpretations. Many signals have different meanings, depending on the person and the situation. Be sure of it when you are trying to read a body language signal.

    (1)、The numbers mentioned in the second paragraph are to _______.
    A、explain what body language is B、show the importance of body language C、tell us body language is less used than verbal language D、tell us body language is the only tool in communication
    (2)、What is the meaning of the underlined sentence in the last paragraph?
    A、Body language is widely used all over the world. B、Body language can be explained in different ways. C、It's too hard to understand the meanings of body language. D、People have already looked through many books on body language.
    (3)、According to the writer, body language is very _______.
    A、simple to learn B、negative to be used C、hard to understand D、helpful in communication
    (4)、According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
    A、Body language is uncomfortable. B、What people are saying is not important. C、Body language can show your emotion. D、Body language will never express wrong signals.
    (5)、We can infer(推断) that the writer will most probably talk about _______ next.
    A、what the wrong body language signals are B、examples of how to understand body language correctly C、numbers about how many people wrongly use body language D、an analysis(分析) of why people wrongly understand body language

        "You know, we teenagers are growing fast. I think it's a good way to help others," Lin Tao, a junior student says.

        "I often pick out some of my clothes which are out of style after going shopping. Then I'll put them into the donation box," Miss Li, a pretty young lady says.

        "That seems like a good idea. People can either wear them or use them to make things such as handbags and pencil cases," Mrs Wang, an old woman says. "Sometimes I also look through the box for some nice clothes."

         Recently, a UTV reporter has made a survey. Here are the results:

        The box is full of clothes in a short time. There is no more room for people to give away clothes.

        Some people sell the clothes in the donation box for making money instead of wearing them.

        So there are few clothes in it

        Many clothes are too old and shabby (破烂的) .

        "What's worse," one of the staff in a community added, "we quite often see people throw rubbish into the box when they pass by. It has been the most serious problem since we set the box."

        In order to make the donation box work in an efficient (高效的) way, our government is taking action. Clothes donation will be better-organized and it'll be more convenient for people in need to take the clothes away.

    A. Some clothes in the box are quite new.

    B. We've tried to stop them several times but failed.

    C. Some communities set the box in unsuitable places.

    E. From time to time, my mother clears out the clothes which I no longer wear.
