Many people think that the most popular way of communicating with other people is through the mouth. But what they don’t know is that actual communication using the mouth accounts for only around 10% (or even less) of all the means to communicate a message.
Moreover, you can never determine the truthfulness or honesty of people by what they say alone. In fact, words expressed through the mouth often do not reflect what people really think or feel. The more reliable way you can determine their true inner feelings and thoughts is by reading their body language. Everybody communicates using these gestures and if you understand the gestures and their meanings you will be able to read people and know what they are really communicating to you. One researcher even went as far as to say that we speak to hide what’s on our minds. But gestures cannot lie.
Have you ever wondered what it would be like if you can “see through” the emotions of other people? Let’s say you ask a person whether he can do an important task. He says “OK”. But deep inside, you are questioning yourself, “Is he really willing to do this job?” or “Does he have the confidence in finishing this task?” You can’t question him directly because that would be like belittling him. And even if you ask him those questions, his replies will not tell you what he really feels or thinks. So the most useful way is to observe his body language. Expressions like smiling, frowning, pouting, facial reddening, sweating, toe curling and sideways glances are visible hints that can help you make a right judgment.
1. 小题1:According to the passage, we know _______.
A.words through the mouth are the most common way in communication
B.body language is the quickest way to help people understand each other
C.expressions are the most powerful tool to judge whether a man is confident or not
D.you may know what a person really thinks with the help of reading his body language
2. 小题2:What does the underlined sentence mean in the second paragraph?
A.We can express ourselves well by body language.
B.We use words to prevent others knowing our true thoughts
C.Spoken words can fully reflect our true self.
D.We use body language to help express ourselves.
3. 小题3:The underlined word in the third paragraph can be replaced with ______.
A.looking down uponB.speaking highly of
C.laughing atD.believing in

答案

小题1:D
小题2:B
小题3:A
解析

1. 小题1:第一段说语言交流只占所有交流方式的 10%或者更少。虽然下文讲的是body language的重要性,但并没有说明最主要的交流方式是什么,也没有说body language是最快捷的交流方式或者最强有力的交流工具,故只有D的说法合理。
2. 小题2:联系上下文内容可知。
3. 小题3:联系上文,这句话意思是“你不能直接问他,因为这样看起来就像看不起他”。因此选

“Earthquake!”The word flashed in my brain.A roaring sound filled my ears.I tried to slide beneath my desk.The desk did a wild tap dance,slipping and sliding towards the centre of the room.I twisted my body and grabbed at the windowsill behind me,somehow kicking free of my dancing chair.I tried to stand.My legs skated away as if on a bucking escalator.
My fingers shook,grasped and held the windowsill tightly.Somewhere through the roar sounded the terrified scream of some wounded animal.I looked behind me and tried to steady my gaze on the other kids but the scene was a dizzy nightmare.Some of the class were sitting in the middle of the room,surrounded by chairs and desks.One girl was screaming.A boy was trying to claw his way across the floor to the door in a crazy overarm crawl.
My grip froze me to the windowsill.
I cried aloud,“I’m going to die.I’m going to die.Save me,I’m not ready to die,I’m not ready!”
I hunched forward on my knees and pressed my face against my clenched fingers.I looked at the backs of my fingers and stupidly noticed the fragile pale hairs growing out of the pores.The fingers would soon cease to exist.Somehow the impending horror of my death was too terrible to even cry about.
Suddenly,I became aware that the rocking had ceased.Perhaps I wasn’t going to die.
小题1:The roaring sound was made by______.
A.a wounded animal B.people screaming
C.children runningD.an earthquake
小题2:When the narrator clenches his fingers he is ______.

    If you feel at present that you don’t have enough friends in your life,one reason may be that you have let yourself become too busy to make time for the relationships you already have.Starting and keeping friendship requires effort and commitment.
Many of us let our lives become so busy with work and other commitments that we don’t get around to scheduling time for pleasure and renewal(叙旧)with the friends,relatives and acquaintances we already have.
Making the effort to call your friends more regularly and to accept more of the invitations you receive from others can improve your social life in a hurry!
Are there any people you could call right now and be assured of a pleasant welcome? Are there people that you could count on to help you in time of difficulty? Can you have close talks with them? Do you have fun when you are together? Are you happy to have them in your life?
If you haven’t seen much of them lately。is it because you have become too busy? Have you grown apart? Was there an argument?
If the main reason you haven’t been getting together with the people you already know is that you have gotten too busy,take a good look at how you spend your time.Compare it with your real values and priorities(优先考虑的事)in life.Is your busy lifestyle really bringing you the quality of life that you want?   
If you have become too busy for friends,why has this happened? Are you seeking material toys in your life at the expense of relationships with other human beings? Have you allowed your time to be over.committed because you never say“No”to anyone? Do you insist on doing things yourself that could be delegated to others? If so,why? Do you believe that everything depends on you?
Examine whether the way you are now spending your time accurately reflects your deepest values and priorities.Make sure that you schedule enough time for the things that are truly most important to you.
If you really want to keep friends in your lire,make a space in your schedule,and a space in your heart for them.

阅读下面短文,简要回答问题。(共3小题;每小题2分,满分6分)
I was shopping in the supermarket when I.heard a young voice boom from across the aisle.“Mom,come here! There’s this lady here my size!”
The mother rushed to a boy she called Mickey;then she turned to me to apologize.
I smiled and told her,“It’s okay.”Then I talked to the boy,“Hi,Mickey,I’m Darry
Kramer.How are you?”
He studied mc from head to toe,and asked,“Arc you a little mommy?”
“Yes.I have a son”I answered
“Why are you so little?”he asked.
…It s the way I was born.”I said.“Some people are little.Some are tall.I’m just not going to grow any bigger.”After about five more minutes of answering questions,I shook Mickey’s hand, and he returned to his mother.
My life as a little  person is filled with stories 1ike that.I enjoy talking to children and Explaining why I look different from their parents.it has taken many years to develop my confidence to be able to do that.
It takes only one glance to see my uniqueness.I stand three feet.nine inches tall I was born an achondroplasia dwarf(侏儒).Despite this,my parents encouraged me to do all the things the kids around me did when I was growing up When my neighbors got two-wheel bikes,I got a two-wheel bike When they roller-skated, I roller-skated.
I didn’t realize how short I was until I started school There,a few kids 1picked on me,calling me names.Then I knew.After that,I began to hate the first day of school cach year.I didn’t know who was new and would stare at me as I struggled to climb the school bus stairs.
As time went on,I just tried to smile and accept the fact that I was going to be noticed my whole life.I was determined to make my uniqueness an advantage rather than a disadvantage.
What I lacked in height,I made up for in personality.
I’m 47 now,and the stares have not diminished as I’ve grown older.People 1ook in disbelief when they see me get out of my car off the driver’s side.During those times,I try to keep a good attitude When people are rude,I remind myself,“Look what else I have—a great family.Nice friends.”
And it’s the children’s questions that make my 1ife special.When I talk with children.They leave content that their questions have been answered My hope is that in taking time with them,I will encourage them to accept their peers whatever size and shape they come in,and treat them with respect.
