Body language is the quiet, secret and most powerful language of all! It speaks    小题1:   than words. According to specialists, our bodies send out more    小题2:   than we realize. In fact, non-verbal communication (非言语交际) takes up about 50% of what we really    小题3: , and body language is  particularly    小题4:   when we attempt to communicate across cultures. Indeed, what is called body language is so much a part of us that it’s actually often unnoticed. And misunderstandings occur as a result of it.   小题5: , different societies treat the    小题6:  between people differently. Northern Europeans usually do not like having    小题7:   contact (接触) even with friends, and certainly not with strangers. People from Latin American countries,    小题8:  , touch each other quite a lot. Therefore, it’s possible that in conversation, it may look like a Latino is    小题9:  a Norwegian all over the room. The Latino, trying to express friendship, will keep moving    小题10:  . The Norwegian, very probably seeing this as pushiness, will keep    小题11:   -- which the Latino will in return regard as    小题12:  .
Clearly, a great deal is going on when people    小题13:  . And only a part of it is in the words themselves. And when parties (当事人) are from different cultures, there’s a strong possibility of    小题14:  . But whatever the situation, the best    小题15:  is to obey the Golden Rule: treat others as you would like to be treated.

The koala(考拉) is possibly one of the best known Australian animals, and is found in four states: Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia. The word “koala” comes from an Australian aboriginal word meaning “no drink”.
Sometimes people call them “koala bears” but koala is not a bear. It belongs to a special group of Australian mammals, called marsupial(有袋类). Female marsupials have a pouch where the baby animals live after they are born.
Koalas have soft, thick, grey or brown fur on their backs. The fur on the stomach is white. Koala that live in the south have thicker fur than those in the north because of the cold winters, whereas the koalas in the northern part of the country live in warm to hot weather most of the year so have thinner fur. A koala has a large hairless nose and round ears. Koalas don’t have tails. Adult koalas measure between 7 and 14 kilograms.
Koalas spend nearly all their time in the trees using their sharp, curved claws and long toes to climb about and to hold on to the tree branches. They sleep most of the day, and feed and move from tree to tree mainly at night.
The reason koala sleep for much of the day is because their food eucalyptus(桉树) leaves are very tough so they use a lot of energy to digest. Sleeping saves energy. Eucalyptus leaves are poisonous to almost every other animal. Koalas rarely drink water; they get water from the leaves they eat.
Each koala has a home range made up of several trees that they visit regularly. They normally do not visit another koala’s home trees except that a male is looking for a female to mate with.
小题1:Which of the following statements is NOT true about the name “koala bear”?
A.The name was given by the native in Australia
B.The word “koala” is an original English word
C.The name describes one of its living habits
D.The name is partly false
小题2: Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “punch”?
A.HouseB.CaveC.PocketD.Nest
小题3:Why do the koalas live in the south have thicker fur than those in the north?
A.The thicker fur can protect them from the colder weather
B.It’s always hot in summer in the north
C.It’s always cold in the winter in the south
D.They have to move to the north in the winter
小题4: Why do koalas sleep much in the day?
A.Their foods are poisonous
B.They want to save energy for the activities at night
C.They can’t get enough energy from their tough foods
D.They can’t get enough water from their leaves

Why are we addicted to upgrades? According to Donald Norman, American author of the book The Design of Everyday Things, “planned obsolescence”(计划性报废) is the trick behind the upgrading culture of today’s consumer electronics industry.
The New York Times cited Norman last month, saying that electronics manufactures strategically release new upgrades periodically, both for hardware and software, so that customers on every level feel the need to buy the newest version.
“This is an old-time trick– they’re not inventing anything new,” he said.
Thomas Wensma, a Dutch designer, despises the “planned obsolescence” of companies, as recently reported by UK-based The Guardian.
Wensma said this is a wasteful system through which companies – many of them producing personal electronics – release shoddy products simply because “they know that, in six months or a year, they’ll put out a new one”.
But the new psychology of consumers is part of this system, as Wensma said to the newspaper: “We now want something new, something pretty, the next shiny thing.”
____________________
“It’s to the damage of the consumer and the environment,” as the New York Times quoted Norman. “But perhaps to the betterment of the stockholder.”
In its most recent fiscal(财务的) year, Apple’s profit margin was more than 21 percent, reported the Los Angeles Times. At Hewlett-Packard, the world’s biggest PC manufacturer, it was only 7 percent.
“Steven Jobs pushed the principle of ‘planned obsolescence’ to new heights,” the newspaper commented on the company’s profits and marketing strategy. “Apple’s annual upgrades of its products generate sales of millions of units as owners of one year’s MacBook or iPhone line up to buy the newest version, even when the changes are incremental.”
Peer pressure
As to Li Jijia, the need for upgrading his smart phone comes mainly from friends and classmates. When the majority of friends are switching to the latest devices, he worries about feeling left out.
“Some apps and games require better hardware to run,” said Li. “If you don’t join in, you lose part of the connection to your friends.”
小题1:Donald Norman believes that electronics makers strategically release new upgrades periodically because __________.
A.customers need the latest versionB.technology is developing so fast
C.they want to invent something newD.they can make a lot of money
小题2:Thomas Wensma’s attitude to the “planned obsolescence” is __________.
A.positiveB.negativeC.indifferentD.neutral
小题3:What subtitle can best fit into the blank in the text?
A.Huge profitsB.Apple’s principle
C.Environmental damageD.Marketing strategy
小题4:The writer takes the example of Li Jijia to show that __________.
A.the new psychology of consumers is also to blame for the wasteful system
B.young people are always fond of something new, pretty and shiny
C.if you don’t upgrade your smart phone, you will lose contact with your friends
D.needs of consumers help to promote the development of electronics industry

The blockbuster film Titanic has brought millions of dollars and thousands of people to the theaters and continues to touch people today in their homes. Why is this film so successful? It is a combination of many different things. Among these are many different elements. Looking at some of these elements will show how the director and others involved were able to create an emotionally charged movie that appealed to millions.
The film uses one thematic(主题的) element called - The Truth of Human Nature. The two main characters seem to represent noble people. Most of the other characters in the film are shown as non-tolerant, rude and cold-hearted people. The element of focusing on the two main characters" love and emotion seems symbolic of an ideal state.
There are also social problems addressed. This is done in a few different ways. The most noticeable way is that the lower class people remain locked in the basement as the ship goes down. Throughout Titanic, the lighting is very important. The poor, lower class people are always shown in very warm-coloured light that gives them a sense of life and happiness. On the other hand, the rich, upper class are always shown in a flat light portraying the feeling of hardness and coldness. By using these techniques, they show the issue of class segregation(种族隔离), and they create stereotypes. The main characters are able to break free of these stereotypes and be together. This is the solution to the segregation problem.
As you can see, Titanic took a lot of thinking and preparation to film in a manner that would create emotion and bring to the surface the issues and story of the great ship.

B.The director was determined to achieve good visual effect.
C.The social status was represented by the color of light in the past.
