Body language is an important part of communication. It includes gestures, facial expressions, and posture. Sometimes, what we say with our words is different from what our body is saying. Understanding body language can help us know how people really feel.
For example, when someone crosses their arms, they might feel defensive or bored. If a person avoids eye contact, they could be nervous or shy. On the other hand, smiling and nodding usually show that someone is interested and engaged in the conversation.
In different cultures, body language can have different meanings. In some countries, nodding your head means "yes", but in others, it might mean "no". That's why it's important to learn about cultural differences when communicating with people from other places.
Last week, Li Ming had an interesting experience. He was talking to an exchange student from the UK. The student kept looking at his watch while Li Ming was speaking. Li Ming felt a little confused and thought the student was bored. Later, he learned that in some cultures, people look at their watches to show they are paying attention to the time, not because they are bored. Li Ming was surprised by this cultural difference.
His teacher, Ms. Wang, explained that body language can be confusing sometimes. "What seems rude in one culture might be polite in another," she said. Li Ming found this fascinating. He decided to learn more about body language so he could communicate better with people from different countries.
Now, Li Ming pays more attention to his own body language too. He tries to smile more and keep eye contact when talking to others. He feels more confident when he understands what others are "saying" without words.

C、The same gesture can have different meanings in different cultures. D、Nodding means "yes" in every country.(5)、How does Li Ming feel now about understanding body language?A、He feels more confused than before. B、He thinks it's not important. C、He feels more confident when communicating. D、He wants to stop learning about it. -

In many cases, you may find yourself or somebody faking (假笑) a smile in photos. Why can one easily discover a fake smile and why does it seem so difficult to give a real smile in photos?
Scientists have found that a real smile is featured by two main muscle (肌肉) movements. When we smile, we lift our mouth upwards and cause the skin around our eyes to gather into folds. These muscle movements are usually absent in the case of a forced smile, especially when the smile is small. Our brains are highly skilled at telling the differences in muscle movements. That's why though trying to fake a real smile can be hard, discovering it on someone else is a piece of cake.
One of the most common reasons why you look unnatural in photos is an increased awareness of your appearance. The worry about posture, hair, and makeup can add to the stress, killing the chances of a real smile. A smile looks best when it comes naturally. Warm and welcoming smiles come along with warm and welcoming body language, but when you're in front of the camera, trying too hard to perform can make your body language appear stiff (僵硬的) and far from welcoming.
Besides, facial expressions are not always understood in the same way. A smile can mean different things in different cultures. For example, a wide smile that seems welcoming to some may appear fake and dishonest. This may also influence how people feel about your smile in photos.
However, we shouldn't let this trouble us too much. So, if you want to smile naturally before the camera, perhaps the simplest trick is to give your brain a real reason to feel happy.
Maybe recall a joyful moment or just think back to a funny story you read… that should work!

C、They care too much about their looks. D、They are weak in performing tricks.(4)、What may help you give a real smile according to the writer?A、Recalling a strange story. B、Practicing smiles in the mirror. C、Improving your expression abilities. D、Thinking of a humorous moment.(5)、What is the main idea of the passage?A、To introduce the reasons for unnatural smiles in photos and how to smile naturally. B、To explain why it's easy to fake a smile and hard to show a real one in photos. C、To tell us different cultures have different understandings of smiles. D、To show the importance of real smiles in our daily life. -

Eye contact means looking into another person's eyes. It is a very important part of body 1 . You may avoid looking someone in the eye when talking with them because you are shy. But in many 2 , eye contact is the key to good communication. You can show friendliness, interest and understanding through eye contact.
Eye contact can mean 3 things in different places. For example, in northern Europe, direct eye contact is a sign that you are truly 4 in what the other person is saying. If you look down and avoid eye contact, a northern European may think you are not listening to 5 they are saying.
However, in many Asian countries, looking down when talking with a(n) 6 person, like a teacher or a parent, is polite. These differences can 7 problems. Suppose that an East Asian woman meets a person from northern Europe for the first time. If she 8 direct eye contact during the conversation, the northern European may think her behaviour is 9 . He or she may even believe that the woman is lying, or that she is not confident. In 10 , the East Asian woman is most likely showing respect and being polite.
Avoiding eye contact can cause problems, but too much eye contact is not polite 11 . In many countries, looking at other people for a long time is impolite. This may make them feel 12 .
Eye contact plays an important role in communication. Maintaining eye contact makes it 13 to build an emotional connection with the other person.

20、 阅读短文,根据题目要求完成各小题。
Technology is changing the world fast, and it is also changing people's jobs. In the past, many people worked as typists (打字员). They typed letters and reports for offices every day. There were also video store workers. They helped people find movies to rent. And there were telephone operators (话务员). They helped connect calls by hand. But now, these jobs are almost gone. People use computers to type with their voice. They watch movies online. Smartphones do the work of telephone operators.
Because technology is growing fast, some old jobs are going away. At the same time, new jobs are coming to meet new needs. For example, drone operators use drones to take photos for travel blogs, check plants on farms, or send small packages to homes. AI trainers teach smart computers to understand people's words better. This makes chat tools smarter. VR content makers create fun virtual worlds for learning or games. People can visit new places without going out.
These new jobs did not exist (存在) a few years ago. But now, many people are doing them. The job world is always changing. No job can last forever. We should not just stay in our comfortable places. We should keep learning new things. They can be basic computer skills, drawing on computers, or talking well with others. Learning helps us get used to change.
If we keep learning, we can keep up with the times and find our places in the future job market.
(1)、Why are some traditional jobs (like typists) disappearing?(2)、What are the three new jobs mentioned in the passage?(3)、What should people do to keep up with the changes in the job market?(4)、Translate the underlined sentence into Chinese.(5)、What is the main idea of the passage?
