核心考点
试题【The teacher stood before his class and was going to hand out the final exam pape】；主要考察你对
日常生活类等知识点的理解。
[详细]举一反三
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 don’t think that learning how to read and use body language is 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.
小题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 |
小题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. |
小题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 |
小题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．To send wrong signals is not body language |
小题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 |

We moved to a new area when our son was in Grade Five. Before we moved, we took him to spend half a day at his new school. There he saw his new classmates and teachers. He enjoyed the visit. During the almost 150-kilometre drive home, he told us that he had told some of the students the dace when we would move there. And he had also invited them to visit us.
The moving day, a Saturday, was a busy day. We arrived at our new house at noon. About an hour later, kids began to come and soon one of them invited our son to his house to play for the afternoon.
By the time he returned, he knew where most of the kids lived and the histories of their families.
On Monday morning, the doorbell rang just before the time he would leave for school. Then it rang again and again.
By the time he was ready, we had eight young boys waiting to walk to school with him on his first day. They all live near us.
I asked them if their parents had sent them. The answers surprised and pleased me, "No, we just came so that he would have someone to walk with." and "It is the right thing to do."
The friendships were formed(形成) from that day. We have lived here for nearly six years and the same group of kids still play together, go to parties on weekends together, and surfing the Internet together.
I am still thinking how welcoming and kind those kids are. And how lucky my son is to have them as friends.

Maddie walked to the woman. I wanted to 33 her away from the woman. But Maddie sat 34 the woman and held her hand. The woman looked down at Maddie and a 35 appeared on her face. Maddie gave the woman a hug（拥抱） and then left.
On the way home, I asked her, "Maddie, 36 did you go up to that woman for and hold her hand? All the other kids were either laughing at her or 37 her?"
