Understand what dogs are "saying"
It"s important to understand what dogs are saying with their bodies, not only to know your own dog but to
better predict what other dogs are doing.
To really read dog body language takes experience. I encourage you to watch your own dog(s) and others.
Go to the dog park and watch dogs interacting. Watch different body parts (ears, tails, eyes, lips, hair, overall
posture) separately for a while. See if you can predict which body stances (姿态) lead to which activities or
outcomes.
Confidence/Fear
Signs of confidence: erect stance (standing tall), tail up, tail wagging in a slower sweep, ears pricked up (竖
起) or relaxed, direct look; relaxed, smaller pupils (瞳孔).
Signs of fear or concern: lowered stance, tail down or tucked under, tail wagging in a quick, frantic (狂乱
的) buzz; looking away or turning head away to look so that whites of eyes show ("whale eye"); dilated (扩大
的) pupils. Dogs often bark out of fear, in an attempt to keep a distance between themselves and the Big Scary
Thing, especially if they are cornered, fenced in, or on a leash (束缚).
This little puppy is looking confidently at the camera. His tail is up; he looks directly at us with no whites
showing in his eyes, and his ears, though a little hard to see, are pricked forward.
This dog is relaxed and confident, with her tail curled over her back, her ears relaxed, and comfortably
lying down. Her ball is between her feet in a clear sign of possession.
This black lab pup is unsure about the plastic ducky (and maybe the water, too). Notice most of her body
is still on shore while she stretches her neck out to sniff. She"s not fearful, just uncertain.
Here she"s a lot more confident looking! Her tail is straight up (starting to curl back), and her body is
compacted and one foot is lifted-she"s ready for the next move!
This dog is fearful and lacking in confidence. His back is arched with his butt and head lowered, his legs
are bent, his tail is down (though not tucked under his body). He"s looking at the thing that"s scaring him.
This puppy is clearly fearful and hiding under his person"s legs. His head and back are lowered, his ears are
down, and his pupils are dilated (showing red in the camera flash).I would not reach out to this puppy-I would
expect him to back away, growl, and maybe even snap at such an invasion of his space.(Instead, I would use
Calming Signals such as turning sideways, looking away, yawning, touching the ground in an imitation of dog
sniffing, and if the dog seems to relax I might hold my hand out to a neutral space between us for him to sniff).
If playing dogs get too aroused, you might want to intervene. If your dog is getting overwhelmed or is
overwhelming someone else, invite them to take a short break. No punishment is necessary.

答案
核心考点
举一反三
Body language is extremely important in an interviewing situation. Some would argue that it is just as
important as what you say and what is on your resume (个人简历). Why? Because we can learn quite a bit
about people from their non-verbal actions. This is one of the ways that an interviewer tries to size you up
as a candidate (求职应征者).
When we are in stressful or uncomfortable situations, many of us have habits that can be distracting (使
不安的) to other people. Certainly biting ones nails or fidgeting with ones" hands could be distracting from
what you are trying to say. These are examples of body language that can be harmful in an interviewing
situation. Used correctly, however, body language can reinforce (加强,增强) what you are saying and give
greater impact to your statements. The following are tips to help you give the right non-verbal clues.
The Seven Signals for Success
So far we have focused primarily on the pitfalls (缺陷) to avoid; but what messages should be sent, and how? Here are seven general suggestions on good body language for the interview.
1. Walk slowly, deliberately, and tall upon entering the room.
2. On greeting the interviewer, give (and, hopefully, receive) a friendly "eyebrow flash": that brief, slight
raising of the brows that calls attention to the face, encourages eye contact, and (when accompanied by a
natural smile)sends the strong positive signal that the interview has gotten off to a good start.
3. Use mirroring techniques. In other words, make an effort-subtly!-to reproduce the positive signals your
interviewer sends. (Of course, you should never mirror negative body signals.) Say the interviewer leans
forward to make a point; a few moments later, you lean forward slightly in order to hear better. Say the
interviewer leans back and laughs; you "laugh beneath" the interviewer"s laughter, taking care not to overwhelm
your interviewer by using an inappropriate volume level. This technique may seem contrived at first, but you
will learn that it is far from that, if only you experiment a little.
4. Maintain a naturally alert head position; keep your head up and your eyes front at all times.
5. Remember to avert your gaze from time to time so as to avoid the impression that you are staring; when
you do so, look confidently and calmly to the right or left; never look down.
6. Do not hurry any movement. 7.Relax with every breath.

Choosing friends
Before you make friends, you have to decide who you want to be your friends. Mo.st people like to have
friends who like to do the same kind of things as they do. That doesn"t mean you have to be exactly like each
other, just that you enjoy some of the same things. Think about your favorite things to do and try to talk to
your classmates at lunch or rest about your hobbies. You are sure to find at least one person who"s excited
about the same things that excite and interest you, too.
Making friends
①The quickest way to make a friend is to smile. When you smile, people think you are friendly and easy
to talk to. It may not be easy at first to smile. But you can practice smiling in front of a mirror. When you
look at yourself in the mirror, think if you"d rather talk to your smiling face or your usual scared or angry face.
②One easy way to start a conversation with someone is to say something nice about them. Think about
how great you feel when someone says something nice to you. Doesn"t it make you want to talk to him?
③Ask your new friend"s questions about themselves. It"s the only way to get to know what they"re like
and it"s the only way they"ll know that you are interested in them.
④Make sure you have something to add to the conversation, too. When someone asks you a question, do
have an answer for them. There is nothing that will stop a conversation quicker than a shrug (耸肩) for an
answer. Activities
After you"ve made a friend who shares the same interests with you, it"s always fun to plan activities together
that you"ll both enjoy. Inviting a friend to your house after school is a great way to make your friendship closer.
If you know a game your friend likes to play, you can plan to do that together. When you play a computer
game, one person is always left sitting with nothing to do but watch Not fun.
B. both of you enjoy some of the same interests
C. you have talked to him or her at lunch or rest about your hobbies
D. you have little in common with each other
B. starting a conversation first
C. asking some questions about him or her
D. giving a shrug instead of an answer
B. invite your friend to your house at weekends
C. be always doing something by yourself with your friend left doing nothing

friends, you must be willing to take action (行动). You must first go to 1 there are people. You won"t make
friends 2 home alone. 3 a club or group, for talking with those 4 like the same thing as you do is 5 .
Or join someone in some activities.
Many people are 6 when talking to people unknown. 7 , meeting strangers means facing the unknown.
And it"s human nature to feel a bit uncomfortable 8 the unknown. 9 of our fears about dealing with new
people come from 10 about ourselves. We 11 other people are judging us, finding us too tall or too short,
too this or too that. 12 don"t forget that they must be feeling 13 .
Try to accept yourself as you are, and try to put the other person at ease. You"ll 14 feel more comfortable.
Try to act self-confident (自信) even if you don"t feel that way 15 you enter a room full of strangers, such as
a new classroom. Walk 16 and straight, look directly at other people and smile. If you see someone you"d like
to 17 , say something. Don"t wait for the other person 18 a conversation.
Just meeting someone 19 doesn"t mean that you will make friends with that person. Friendship is based on
mutual (相互的) liking and "give and take". It 20 time and effort to develop. And there are things that keep a
new friendship from growing.

| Most people go to a doctor in their own town or suburb. But people in the Australian outback can"t get to a doctor quickly. The nearest doctor is sometimes hundreds of kilometers away so they have to call him on a two-way radio. This special doctor is called the "flying doctor". He visits sick people by plane. When someone is sick, the doctor has to fly to the person"s home. His plane lands on a flat piece of ground near the person"s house. Sometimes has to take the patients to hospital. Flying doctors take about 8,600 people to hospital each year. However, most of time the person isn"t very sick, and the doctor doesn"t have to visit. He can give advice on the radio from the office at the flying center. He can tell the patient to use some medicine from a special medicine chest (箱子). There is one of these chests in every home in the outback. Each bottle, tube and packet in the chest has a number. The doctor often says something like this, "Take two tables from bottle 5 every four hours." | |||

| When I was a child, I often dreamed of the time when I could leave home and escape to the city. We lived on a farm. In the winter especially, we wear quite out off from the outside world. As soon as I left school, I packed my bags and moved to the capital. However, I soon discovered that my life has its too. One big disadvantage is money. It costs so much to go out, not to mention basics like food and housing. Another disadvantage is pollution. I suffer from asthma (哮喘), and the air is so that I am afraid to go outside. Then there is the problem of traveling round. Although I have a car, I seldom use it became of the traffic jams. One choice is to go by bicycle, but that can be quite dangerous. Of course there are advantages. First, there is so much to do in the city, whatever you tastes in culture or entertainment (娱乐活动). Besides, there are wonderful jobs and greater chances of moving to a more important job or position. Finally, if you like shopping, the variety of goods is very surprising-and, what is more, shops are often only a short walk away. Is life better then, in the city? Perhaps it is, when you are in your teens (十几岁) or twenties. However, as you get older, and especially if you have small children, the peace of the countryside may seem preferable. I certainly hope to move back there soon. | |||
| 1. What was the writer always thinking about when he was a child? | |||

| A. He is very old now. B. He is in good health. C. He prefers driving a car. D. He lives in the city now. | |||
| 3. In the passage, the writer tries to _____. | |||
| A. express his opinions about way of life B. describe his life in the countryside C. an interest in the outside world D. persuade the reader to live in the city | |||
| 4. How is the passage mainly developed? | |||
| A. By inferring. B. By comparing. C. By listing examples. D. By giving explanations. |
