SHOWING OUR FEELINGS

Body language is one of the most powerful means of communication, often even more powerful than spoken language．People around the world show all kinds of feelings, wishes and attitudes that they might never speak aloud．It is possible to “read” others around us, even if they do not intend for us to catch their unspoken communication．Of course, body language can be misread, but many gestures and actions are universal．

The most universal facial expression is, of course, the smile —its function is to show happiness and put people at ease．It does not always mean that we are truly happy, however．Smiles around the world can be false, hiding other feelings like anger, fear or worry．There are unhappy smiles, such as when someone “loses face” and smiles to hide it．However, the general purpose of smiling is to show good feelings．

From the time we are babies, we show unhappiness or anger by frowning．In most places around the world, frowning and turning one's back to someone shows anger．Making a fist and shaking it almost always means that someone is angry and threatening another person．

There are many ways around the world to show agreement, but nodding the head up and down is used for agreement almost worldwide．Most people also understand that shaking the head from side to side means disagreement or refusal．

How about showing that I am bored? Looking away from people or yawning will, in most cases, make me appear to be uninterested．However, if I turn toward and look at someone or something, people from almost every culture will think that I am interested．If I roll my eyes and turn my head away, I most likely do not believe what I am hearing or do not like it．

Being respectful to people is subjective, based on each culture, but in general it is probably not a good idea to give a hug to a boss or teacher．In almost every culture, it is not usually good to stand too close to someone of a higher rank．Standing at a little distance with open hands will show that I am willing to listen．

With so many cultural differences between people, it is great to have some similarities in body language．We can often be wrong about each other, so it is an amazing thing that we understand each other as well as we do！

表达我们的情感

身势语是最强有力的交流手段之一，甚至通常它比口头语言更有力量。世界各地的人要表达各种情感、愿望和态度，他们可能从来不会大声地说出来。“读懂”我们身边的人是有可能的，尽管他们并不想让我们捕捉到他们没有说出来的意思。当然，身势语也会被误读，但是很多手势和举动都是具有普遍性的。

微笑当属最普遍使用的面部表情，它的作用是表示快乐和安人心境。然而它并不总是代表着真正的快乐。世界上的微笑可能是假象，来掩盖像生气、恐惧或担忧的情绪。还有不愉快的微笑，比如说当某人丢脸时，他们用微笑来掩饰。但是，微笑一般是用来表达好的情感的。

从婴儿时代开始，我们就用皱眉来表示不悦和生气。在世界大部分地区，皱眉和背对着某人表示生气。攥拳并晃动拳头几乎总是表示某人很生气并要威胁他人。

世界上有很多种表示同意的方式，但是上下点头表示同意几乎在全世界范围内适用。大部分人也明白左右摇头是不同意或拒绝的意思。

怎么表示我很厌烦呢？在多数情况下，把目光从人们身上移开或打呵欠，会使我看上去(对某物/人)不感兴趣。然而，如果我转向某人或某物并看着他(它)的话，几乎每种文化背景下的人都会认为我对此感兴趣。如果我转动眼睛，把头扭向一边，很可能就是我不相信或者不喜欢我所听到的。

在每种文化背景下，尊重他人是主观的，但是通常拥抱老板和老师可能会不妥当。几乎在每一种文化背景下，和级别比自己高的人站得太近通常是不好的。两手伸开，站得有一定距离表示我愿意聆听。

人们之间有那么多的文化差异，而身势语有一些相似之处是很好的。我们经常会彼此误会，因此我们能做到相互理解是一件很令人惊奇的事情！

Ⅴ．阅读理解

A

I think that the most basic and powerful way to connect to another

person is to listen．Just listen．Perhaps the most important thing we ever

give each other is our attention, and especially if it's given from the

heart．When people are talking, there's no need to do anything but receive

them．Just take them in．Listen to what they're saying．Care about

it．Most times caring about it is even more important than understanding

it．

When we interrupt what someone is saying to let them know that we understand, we move the focus of attention to ourselves．When we listen, they know we care．Many people with

cancer can talk about the relief of having someone just listen．

I have even learned to respond to someone crying by just listening．In the old days I used to reach for the tissues (纸巾), until I realized that passing a person a tissue may be just another way to shut them down, to take them out of their experience of sadness and grief (悲痛；悲伤)．Now I just listen．When they have cried all they need to cry, they find me there with them．

This simple thing has not been that easy to learn．It certainly went against everything I had been taught since I was very young．I thought people listened only because they were too timid to speak or did not know the answer．A loving silence often has far more power to heal and to connect than the well-intentioned (出于好心的) words．

1．When we communicate with others we had better ________．

A．listen more B．understand more

C．speak more D．look here and there

解析：选A细节理解题。根据第一段可知，在谈话过程中，“倾听”是最有效的方法，很多时候它甚至比听明白更重要。故答案为A。

2．If we interrupt what someone is saying, ________．

A．they may think we are too rude to them

B．they must be very angry with us

C．they may know we don't care about them

D．they must stop and listen to us

解析：选C推理判断题。根据第二段中的“．．．we move the focus of attention to ourselves．”可知，打断对方说话，无非是把注意力移向自己，这向对方传递的信息就是：我们不在意他们的谈话内容。故答案为C。

3．Passing a person who is crying a tissue perhaps means ________．

A．stopping them from crying any more

B．stopping them from saying anything

C．advising them to have a rest

D．helping them to accept the sadness

解析：选A推理判断题。第三段谈到作者的个人经历，结合下文中的“shut down (阻止)”可知，当对方哭的时候递给对方纸巾，是想让对方停止“哭泣”。故答案为A。

4．It is very difficult for us to learn to listen because ________．

A．we may know the answer

B．we have an interesting topic

C．parents teach us to speak

D．it goes against what we have been taught

解析：选D推理判断题。根据最后一段第二句可知，虽然我们知道了“倾听”在谈话中很重要，但是要我们做到却很不容易，主要是因为这与我们从小所接受的教育相违背。故答案为D。

B

The weather affects many aspects of people's daily life．Knowing and

understanding what the weather is doing will be useful．

However, the weather is also one of the most unpredictable elements in the world．Although many people watch the morning news gathering the

information that is needed about the weather, this is often wrong．Whole days

can be ruined by believing that the weather will be one thing, when it turns out to

be another．However, owning wireless weather stations allows the owners to monitor the weather for themselves．

Not only will these weather stations allow the owners to see what the weather is doing, but it is personalized to them and their area．Wireless weather stations are specifically for the immediate neighborhood．Plans will be able to be made, and important decisions will no longer be ruined by bad weather．

Although these weather stations are typically seen in homes, they can also be used very easily on farms and fishing boats．Both farmers and fishermen rely on the weather for their business and using up-to-date weather information is essential．By using the wireless weather stations, they can determine when to harvest crops and head back to the shore．Due to the light size of the weather stations, they can be moved very easily and used anywhere they are needed．

Although the wireless weather stations are great for all homes, they are especially useful for areas that suffer from extreme weather conditions．

The up-to-date, instant weather reports will allow a person to monitor what the weather is doing and if the bad weather is heading in their direction．Extreme weather tends to come very quickly; therefore, any information that is received is helpful．

The weather stations are very simple to set up and are run by solar panels (太阳能电池板), ensuring they will work even if there is a power cut．

语篇解读：文章主要介绍了自建小型气象站的优点。

5．What's the main idea of the text?

A．The weather and its effects on people's daily life．

B．Good reasons for having wireless weather stations．

C．The weather — the most unpredictable element in the world．

D．The importance of knowing and understanding the weather．

解析：选B主旨大意题。文章主要介绍了无线的、小型气象站的一些独特优势，因此答案B是最佳选项。

6．With the second paragraph, the author intends to ________．

A．make it clear how popular the morning news is

B．show us how unpredictable the weather used to be

C．explain the value of having wireless weather stations

D．show how people got weather information in the past

解析：选C推理判断题。在第二段中作者先介绍天气预报的缺点，然后引出自己想要表达的主题：小型气象站的优点。故答案为C。

7．What can we learn about a wireless weather station?

A．A power failure can't affect its work．

B．It will substitute TV's weather report．

C．It is hard to set up but can be moved easily．

D．The information it provides is slow but specific．

解析：选A推理判断题。文章最后一段的最后一句“they will work even if there is a power cut”可以推断出即使停电，这种天气预告机器也会照常工作。

8．Comparatively speaking, a wireless weather station will be most useful to ________．

A．TV weather reporters

B．power plants

C．fishermen working far out at sea

D．professors and students in universities

解析：选C细节理解题。文章第四段提到小型的无线气象站对于渔民或者农民来说，非常有帮助，因此C项正确。
