My friend was waiting for me when my plane landed at Kennedy Airport at three o’clock in the afternoon. The weather was very cold and it was snowing, but I was too excited to mind. From the airport, my friend and I took a taxi to my hotel. On the way, I saw the skyline of Manhattan for the first time and I stared in astonishment at the famous skyscrapers and their man-made beauty. My friend helped me unpack at the hotel and then left me because he had to go back to work. He promised to return the next day.Shortly after my friend had left, I went to a restaurant near the hotel to get something to eat. Because I couldn’t speak a word of English, I couldn’t tell the waiter what I wanted. I was very upset and started to make some gestures, but the waiter didn’t understand me. Finally, I ordered the same thing the man at the next table was eating. After dinner, I started to walk along Broadway until I came to Times Square with its movie theatres, neon lights, and huge crowds of people. I did not feel tired, so I continued to walk around the city. I wanted to see everything on my first day. I knew it was impossible, but I wanted to try.When I returned to the hotel, I was exhausted, but I couldn’t sleep because I kept hearing the fire and police sirens during the night. I lay awake and thought about New York. It was a very big and interesting city with many tall buildings and big cars, and full of noise and busy people.

They are wrong. Everyone has imagination, but most of us, once we become adults, forget how to 47 it. Creativity isn’t always connected with great works of art or ideas. People at work and in their free time 48 think of creative ways to solve problems. Maybe you have a goal to achieve, a tricky question to answer or you just want to expand your mind! Here are three techniques to help you.Making connections. This technique involves taking 49 ideas and trying to find links between them. First, think about the problem you have to solve or the job you need to do. Then find an image, word, idea or object, for example, a candle. Write down all the ideas/words6with candles: light, fire, matches, wax, night, silence, etc. Think of as many as you can. The next stage is to relate the 51 to the job you have to do. So imagine you want to buy a friend an original 8 ; you could buy him tickets to match or take him out for the night.NO limits! Imagine that normal limitations don’t exist. You have as much time /space / money, etc. as you want. Think about your goal and the new 52 . If your goal is to learn to ski, 53 , you can now practice skiing every day of your life (because you have the time and the money). Now 54 this to reality. Maybe you can practice skiing every day in December, or every Monday in January.Be someone else! Look at the situation from a 55 point of view. Good businessmen use this technique in trade, and so do writers. Fiction writers often imagine they are the characters in their books.They ask questions: What does this character want?Why can’t she get it?What changes must she make to get what she wants?If your goal involves other people, put yourself in their 56 .

People, both in Japan and in America, dream of seeing this beautiful island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Their dreams always include the sunset over the ocean. The sun drops like a ball of golden fire into the sea, and it drops .so quickly that you can almost see it move. The sun leaves behind a glow(霞光) that lights the skies and shines in the quiet water.People often have a quiet, peaceful time while walking along the beach. The first strangers to these islands centuries ago were who came from Tahiti in canoes(独木舟) .Now no matter where the people come from, they reallywant to see the original(原始的) beauty of Hawaii. They want to see the lovely beaches and the mountain called Diamond Head which is almost hidden by the tall hotels.57.

Islands.B. A Magic Name.C. Travelling in Hawaii.D. Hawaii, the Dramatic Beauty.(B)Trees should only be pruned (修剪) when there is a good and clear reason for doing so and , the number of such reasons is small. Pruning involves the cutting away of overgrown andunwanted branches, and the inexperienced gardener can be encouraged by the thought that more damage results from doing it unnecessarily than from leaving the tree to grow in its own way.First, pruning may be done to make sure that trees have desired shape or size. The object may be to get a tree of the right height, and at the same time to help the growth of small side branches, which will thicken its appearance or give it a special shape. Secondly, pruning may be done to make the tree healthier. You may cut out diseased or dead wood, or branches that are rubbing against each other and thus cause wounds. The health of a tree may be encouraged by removing branches that are blocking up the center and so preventing the free movement of air.One result of pruning is that an open wound is left on the tree and this provides an easy entry for disease , but it is a wound that will heal (愈合). Often there is a race between the healing and the disease as to whether the tree will live or die, so that there is a period when the tree is at risk. It should be the aim of every gardener to reduce that risk of death as far as possible. It is importantto make the area, which has been pruned, smooth and clean, for healing will be slowed down by roughness. You should allow the cut surface to dry for a few hours and then paint it with one of the materials available from garden shops produced especially for this purpose. Pruning is usually done in winter , for then you can see the shape of the tree clearly without interference (妨碍) from the leaves and also it is very unlikely that the cuts you make will bleed. If this does happen, it is, of course, impossible to paint them properly .61.Pruning should be done to _____.A.make the tree grow taller.B.improve the shape of the tree.C.get rid of the small branches .D.make the small branches thicker.62.Trees become unhealthy if the gardener__________.A.allows too many branches to grow in the middleB. does not protect them from the windC. forces them to grow too quickly.D.damages some of the small side branches63.Why is a special material painted on the tree?A.T o make a wound smooth.B.To prevent disease entering a wound.C.to cover a rough surface.D.To help a wound to dry.64.What was the author’s purpose when writing this passage?A.T o give practical instruction for pruning a tree.B.To give a general description of pruning.C.T o explain how trees develop disease.D.To discuss different methods of pruning.(C)Examinations have a longer history in China than in any other country, yet it is today an issue。

They are wrong. Everyone has imagination, but most of us, once we become adults, forget how to 47 it. Creativity isn’t always connected with great works of art or ideas. People at work and in their free time 48 think of creative ways to solve problems. Maybe you have a goal to achieve, a tricky question to answer or you just want to expand your mind! Here are three techniques to help you.Making connections. This technique involves taking 49 ideas and trying to find links between them. First, think about the problem you have to solve or the job you need to do. Then find an image, word, idea or object, for example, a candle. Write down all the ideas/words6with candles: light, fire, matches, wax, night, silence, etc. Think of as many as you can. The next stage is to relate the 51 to the job you have to do. So imagine you want to buy a friend an original 8 ; you could buy him tickets to match or take him out for the night.NO limits! Imagine that normal limitations don’t exist. You have as much time /space / money, etc. as you want. Think about your goal and the new 52 . If your goal is to learn to ski, 53 , you can now practice skiing every day of your life (because you have the time and the money). Now 54 this to reality. Maybe you can practice skiing every day in December, or every Monday in January.Be someone else! Look at the situation from a 55 point of view. Good businessmen use this technique in trade, and so do writers. Fiction writers often imagine they are the characters in their books.They ask questions: What does this character want?Why can’t she get it?What changes must she make to get what she wants?If your goal involves other people, put yourself in their 56 .

People, both in Japan and in America, dream of seeing this beautiful island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Their dreams always include the sunset over the ocean. The sun drops like a ball of golden fire into the sea, and it drops .so quickly that you can almost see it move. The sun leaves behind a glow(霞光) that lights the skies and shines in the quiet water.People often have a quiet, peaceful time while walking along the beach. The first strangers to these islands centuries ago were who came from Tahiti in canoes(独木舟) .Now no matter where the people come from, they really want to see the original(原始的) beauty of Hawaii. They want to see the lovely beaches and the mountain called Diamond Head which is almost hidden by the tall hotels.57. The most magic thing on the beautiful islands is ______ .A. the tropical plantsB. a leisurely walk along the beachC. the sunsetD. the quiet water58.______ doesn’t belong to “the original beauty of Hawaii.A.White sand beaches .B.

Islands.B. A Magic Name.C. Travelling in Hawaii.D. Hawaii, the Dramatic Beauty.(B)Trees should only be pruned (修剪) when there is a good and clear reason for doing so and , the number of such reasons is small. Pruning involves the cutting away of overgrown and unwanted branches, and the inexperienced gardener can be encouraged by the thought that more damage results from doing it unnecessarily than from leaving the tree to grow in its own way.First, pruning may be done to make sure that trees have desired shape or size. The object may be to get a tree of the right height, and at the same time to help the growth of small side branches, which will thicken its appearance or give it a special shape. Secondly, pruning may be done to make the tree healthier. You may cut out diseased or dead wood, or branches that are rubbing against each other and thus cause wounds. The health of a tree may be encouraged by removing branches that are blocking up the center and so preventing the free movement of air.One result of pruning is that an open wound is left on the tree and this provides an easy entry for disease , but it is a wound that will heal (愈合). Often there is a race between the healing and the disease as to whether the tree will live or die, so that there is a period when the tree is at risk. It should be the aim of every gardener to reduce that risk of death as far as possible. It is importantto make the area, which has been pruned, smooth and clean, for healing will be slowed down by roughness. You should allow the cut surface to dry for a few hours and then paint it with one of the materials available from garden shops produced especially for this purpose. Pruning is usually done in winter , for then you can see the shape of the tree clearly without interference (妨碍) from the leaves and also it is very unlikely that the cuts you make will bleed. If this does happen, it is, of course, impossible to paint them properly .61.Pruning should be done to _____.A.make the tree grow taller.B.improve the shape of the tree.C.get rid of the small branches .D.make the small branches thicker.62.Trees become unhealthy if the gardener__________.A.allows too many branches to grow in the middleB. does not protect them from the windC. forces them to grow too quickly.D.damages some of the small side branches63.Why is a special material painted on the tree?A.To make a wound smooth.B.To prevent disease entering a wound.C.to cover a rough surface.D.To help a wound to dry.64.What was the author’s purpose when writing this passage?A.To give practical instruction for pruning a tree.B.To give a general description of pruning.C.To explain how trees develop disease.D.To discuss different methods of pruning.(C)Examinations have a longer history in China than in any other country, yet it is today an issuearound in which controversy flourishes. At each stage of their school lives children are faced with exams: exams to enter junior middle school, senior middle school, vocational school, colleges and universities. As a result of having constantly to think of these hurdles facing them children find themselves under constant pressure, unable to take time off from studying exam-oriented subjects to relax with friends or to develop other interests. Within school the concentration on exam success leads to the neglect of courses which are not central to the examinations and a method of teaching and learning which emphasizes training the ability to do well in tests but neglects developing the ability to think creatively.Despite such criticisms the examination system still has its defenders. Without it, they argue, how can we test students’ abilities and evaluate the effectiveness of teachers and schools They believe that they provide the only objective way of selecting students and reduce the exercise of unfair back-door practices to gain advantage for children on the basis of influence or corruption. Examinations are also felt to offer the impetus to students to master their subject in a way in which they otherwise might not. "While too much anxiety can be a bad thing, a little anxiety can stimulate students to learn better than if left without any test to pass," says Li Jie, a leading advocate of the value of testing. "I can remember things now which give me great pleasure whichI doubt I would have learned at the time if I had not had to do so for the examinations.\65.Which of the following statements about emminations in China is correct?A.People can make money out of examination.B.Only students of today have to take examination.C.Students have to learn more about history than about any other subjects.D.People have different opinions concerning the value of examinations.66. What is a possible result if students pay too much attention to examinations?[A] Students neglect those exam-oriented subjects.[B] Students are unable to relax with friends or to develop other interests.[C] Teachers neglect the training of the students' ability to do well in tests.[D] Students only pay attention to the development of their ability to think creatively.67. Which of the following has NOT been mentioned as the advantage of examinations?[A] Examinations are the only objective way of selecting students.[B] Examinations are the only objective way to eliminate the problem of corruption.[C] Examinations can tell us that too much anxiety can be a bad thing.[D] Examinations can better stimulate students to study.68 Which of the following is an acceptable summary of the organization of this passage?[A] Discussing a problem in education. [B] Refuting (反驳)a long held opinion.[C] Persuading people to believe an idea. [D] Presenting a controversial issue and arguments from both sides.(D)The next time you try for a high-ranking post, you could let your possible boss listen to a recommending phone call“made”by US President George W.Bush or British Prime Minister Tony Blair.Of course, neither of them could really do that for you-you would just ”borrow” their voices.AT&T labs will start selling speech software that, it says, is so good at reproducing the sounds of a human voice that it can recreate voices of long-dead famous people back to life.The software, which turns printed text into speech, makes it possible for a company to use recordings of a person's voice to say things that the person never actually said.Possible customers for the software, which is priced at the thousands of dollars, include telephone call centers, companies that make software that reads digital files aloud, makers of automated voices devices.The advances raise several problems.Who, for example owns the rights to a famous person's voice? (Some experts even believe that new contracts will be drawn that include voice-licensing clauses.)And although scientists say the technology is not yet good enough to commit fraud(假冒), would the synthesized(合成的)voices at last be able to trick people into thinking that they were getting phone calls or digital audio recordings from people they knew?Even Mr. Fruchterman, one of AT&T lab's possible first customers, said he wondered what the new technology right bring. “Just like you can't trust a photograph any more,” he said, “You won't be able to trust a voice either.”69. With the help of the speech software, it is most possible ________.A. to improve a famous person's speechB. to say what you want in another's voiceC. to make a speech much more easilyD. to help you to find a better job70. If the speech software is widely used, ________.A. people would no longer believe each otherB. it would not be necessary to go for a speech by a famous personC. no radio or TV broadcasters would be neededD. recording a voice alone would not be taken as a proof in the court71. According to the passage, you can infer that ________.A. the software will turn out to be an immediate success in the marketB. the government will forbid the sale of the software in the marketC. it's hard to decide whether software will enjoy popularityD. the software will soon prove to be nothing but rubbish(4) The passage mainly wants to ________.A. introduce a new softwareB. explain the advantage of a new inventionC. advertise a new kind of productD. describe the future market of a new productKEYS:17-21 BBDCB 22-26 CBCAC 27-31 DCCAC 32-36 ACBCA 37-41 DCCCB 42-46 DDBACKeys:47-51 CBBAA 52-56 ADDCDKEYS:57-60 CCBDB 61-64 BBAC 65-68 DBCA 69-72 BCAB。

After climbing up a hill for a panoramic(全景的) view of the blue sea, white buildings and green olive trees, I paused to catch my breath and then positioned myself to take the best photo of this panorama.Unfortunately, just as I took out my camera, a woman approached from behind, and planted herself right in front of my view. Like me, this woman was here to stop, sigh and appreciate the view.Patient as I was, after about 15 minutes, my camera scanning the sun and reviewing the shot I would eventually take, I grew frustrated. Was it too much to ask her to move so I could take just one picture of the landscape? Sure, I could have asked her, but something prevented me from doing so. She seemed so content in her observation. I didn’t want to mess with that.Another 15 minutes passed and I grew bored. The woman was still there. I decided to take the photo anyway. And now when I look at it, I think her presence in the photo is what makes the image interesting. The landscape, beautiful on its own, somehow comes to life and breathes because this woman is engaging with it.This photo, with the unique beauty that unfolded before me and that woman who “ruined” it, now hangs on a wall in my bedroom. What would she think if she knew that her figure is captured and frozen on some stranger’s bedroom wall? A bedroom, after all, is a very private space, in which some woman I don’t even know has been immortalized(使……永存). In some ways, she lives in my house.Perhaps we all live in each other’s spaces. Perhaps this is what photos are for: to remind us that we all appreciate beauty, that we all share a common desire for pleasure, for connection, for something that is greater than us.That photo is a reminder, a captured moment, an unspoken conversation between two women, separated only by a thin square of glass.51.What happened when the author was about to take a photo?A. Her camera stopped working.B. A woman blocked her view.C. Someone asked her to leave.D. A friend approached from behind.52.According to the author, the woman was probably ________.A. enjoying herselfB. losing her patienceC. waiting for the sunsetD. thinking about her past53.In the author’s opinion, what makes the photo so alive?A. The rich color of the landscape.B. The perfect positioning of the camera.C. The woman’s existence in the photoD. The soft sunlight that summer day.(B)Space exploration has always been the province of dreamers: The human imagination readily soars where human ingenuity (创造力) struggles to follow. A Voyage to the Moon, often cited as the first science fiction story, was written by Cyrano de Bergerac in 1649. Cyrano was dead and buried for a good three centuries before the first manned rockets started to fly.In 1961, when President Kennedy declared that America would send a man to the moon by the decade’s end, those words, too, had a dreamlike quality. They resonated with optimism and ambition in much the same way as the most famous dream speech of all, delivered by Martin Luther King Jr. two years later. By the end of the decade, both visions had yielded concrete results and transformed American society. And yet in many ways the two dreams ended up at odds with each other. The fight for racial and economic equality is intensely pragmatic (讲求实用的) and immediate in its impact. The urge to explore space is just the opposite. It is figuratively and literally otherworldly in its aims.When the dust settled, the space dreamers lost out. There was no grand follow-up to the Apollo missions. The technologically compromised space shuttle program has just come to an end, with no successor. The perpetual argument is that funds are tight, that we have more pressing problems here on Earth. Amid the current concerns about the federal deficit, reaching toward the stars seems a dispensable luxury—as if saving one-thousandth of a single year’s budget would solve our problems.But human ingenuity struggles on. NASA is developing a series of robotic probes that will get the most bang from a buck. They will serve as modem Magellans, mapping out the solar system for whatever explorers follow, whether man or machine. On the flip side, companies like Virgin Galactic are plotting a bottom-up assault on the space dream by making it a reality to the public. Private spaceflight could lie within reach of rich civilians in a few years. Another decade or two and it could go mainstream.The space dreamers end up benefiting all of us—not just because of the way they expand human knowledge, or because of the spin-off technologies they produce, but because the two types of dreams feed off each other. Both Martin Luther King and John Kennedy appealed to the idea that humans can transcendwhat were once considered inherent limitations. Today we face seeming challenges in energy, the environment, health care. Tomorrow we will transcend these as well, and the dreamers will deserve a lot of the credit. The more evidence we collect that our species is capable of greatness, the more we will actually achieve it.54.The author mentions Cyrano de Bergerac in order to show that ________.A. imagination is the mother of inventionB. ingenuity is essential for science fiction writersC. it takes patience for humans to realize their dreamsD. dreamers have always been interested in science fiction55.How did the general public view Kennedy’s space exploration plan?A.

Car owners will recevie damages from Hilton if the car gets lost59. What is this piece of writing?A. A notice at a parking lotB. A passage from a textbookC. An advertisement in a magazineD. A piece of news in a newspaperBI am a good mother to three children. I have tried never to let my profession stand in the way of being a good parent.I no longer consider myself the center of the universe. I show up. I listen. I try to laugh. I am a good friend to my husband. I have tried to make marriage vows(誓约) mean what they say. I am a good friend to my friends, and they to me. Without them, there would be nothing to say to you today.So here"s what I wanted to tell you today: Get a life. A real life, not a desire of the next promotion , the bigger paycheck, the larger house.Get a life in which you are not alone. Find people you love, and who love you. And remember that love is not leisure , it is work. Pick up the phone. Send an e-mail. Write a letter. And realize that life is the best thing and that you have no business taking it for granted.It is so easy to waste our lives, our days, our hours, our minutes. It is so easy to exist instead of to live. I learned to live many years ago. Something really, really bad happened to me, something that changed my life in ways that, if I had my choice, it would never have been changed at all. And what I learned from it is what, today, seems to be the hardest lesson of all.I learned to love the journey, not the destination. I learned to look at all the good in the world and try to give some of it back because I believed in it, completely and totally. And I tried to do that, in part, by telling others what I had learned. By telling them this: Read in the backyard with the sun on your face. Learn to be happy. And think of life as a deadly illness, because if you do, you will live it with joy and passion as it ought to be lived.60. How did the writer form her view of life、A. Through social experienceB. By learning from her friendsC. Through an unfortunate experienceD. From her children and husband61. The sentences” It is so easy to exist instead of live.” means that people tend to __________.A. waste a lot in lifeB. work rather than enjoy lifeC. make a living rather than a real lifeD. forget the most important lessons in life62. It can be inferred from the passage that __________.A. The author likes travelling very muchB. The author did not try her best to work wellC. The author spent all her time caring for childrenD. The author is a success in personal lifeCDo you know how it is when you see someone yawn and you start yawning too? Or how hard it is to be among people laughing and not laugh yourself? Well, apparently it"s because we have mirror neurons (神经元)in our brains.Put simply, the existence of mirror neurons suggests that every time we see someone else do something, our brains imitate (模仿)it, whether or not we actually perform the same action. This explains a great deal about how we learn to smile, talk, walk, dance or play sports. But the idea goes further: mirror neurons not only appear to explain physical actions y they also tell us that there is a biological basis for the way we understand other people.Mirror neurons can undoubtedly be found all over our brains, but especially in the areas which relate to our ability to use languages, and to understand how other people feel. Researchers have found that mirror neurons relate strongly to language. A group of researchers discovered that if they gave people sentences to listen to ( for example: "The hand took hold of the ball" ) , the same mirror neurons were triggered as when the action was actually performed (in this example, actually taking hold of a ball).Any problems with mirror neurons may well result in problems with behavior. Much researeh suggests that people with social and behavioral problems have mirror neurons which are not fully functioning. However, it is not yet known exactly how these discoveries might help find treatments for social disorders.Research into mirror neurons seems to provide us with ever more information concerning how humans behave and interact(互动).Indeed, it may turn out to be the equivalent (相等物)for ncurosciencc of what Einstein"s theory of relativity was for physics. And the next time you feel the urge to cough in the cinema when someone else does—well, perhaps you"ll understand why.63. Mirror neurons can explain __________ .A. why we cry when we are hurtB. why we cough when we suffer from a coldC. why we smile when we see someone else smileD. why we yawn when we see someone else stay up late64. The underlined word "triggered" in the third paragraph probably means __________A.set offB.cut offC.built upD.broken up65. We can learn from the passage that mirror neurons __________.A.relate to human behavior and interactionB.control human physical actions and feelingsC.result in bad behavior and social disordersD.determine our knowledge and language abilities66. What is the passage mainly about?A.Ways to find mirror neurons.B.Problems of mirror neurons.C.Existence of mirror neurons.D.Functions of mirror neurons.V. Translation67. 他提醒我,面试已推迟到下周。

Reading Compr ehensi on(54/100)Section A(30/100)You are watching a film in which two men are having a fight. They hit one anotherhard. 26 they only fight with their fists. But soon they begin hittingone another over the heads with chairs. And so it goes 27_ until one ofthe men crashes 28 a window and falls thirty feet to the ground below.He is dead! _29 he isn’t really dead. With 30 luck heisn’t even hurt. Why? Because the men who fall out of high windows or jump fromfast moving trains, who crash cars of even _31 fire, are professionals.They do this for a living. These men are called stuntmen. That is to say, they 32 tricks. There are two 33 to their work. They actually do mostof the things you see on the screen. For example, they fall from a high building. However, they do not fall on to hard ground but on to 34 cardboard boxes covered with a mattress. Again, when they hit one another with chairs, the chairsare made of soft wood and when they break windows, the glass is made of sugar! But although their work depend on trick of this sort, it also requires a high 35 of skill and training. Often a stuntman’s success depends on careful _36 .For example, when he is “ 37 up” in a battle scene, he has to jumpout of the way of the explosion just at the right moment.Naturally stuntmen are well paid for their work, but they lead dangerous lives.They often get seriously injured, and sometimes killed. A Norwegian stuntman, 38 , skied over the 39 of a cliff a thousand feet high.His parachute failed to open, and he was killed. In spite of all the risks, thisis no longer a profession for men only. Men no longer _40 as women when actresses have to perform some dangerous action. For nowadays thereare stuntgirls too.26. A. As a result B. On one hand C. At the start D. In the end27. A. on B. off C. out D. in28. A. under B. through C. against D. behind29. A. Maybe B. Therefore C. Of course D. What’s30. A. no B. any C. little D. few31. A. set B. catch C. watch D. extinguish32. A. perform B. follow C. understand D. crack33. A. advantages B. disadvantages C. lines D. sides34. A. tidy B. pretty C. nasty D. empty35. A. speed B. spirit C. degree D. demand36. A. time B. timing C. measure D. measuring37. A. raised B. brought C. cheered D. blown38. A. in fact B. for example C. to be exact D. by contrast39. A. ladder B. face C. edge D. wall40. A. look on as B. show off C. dress up D. turn down(A)Have you ever had the experience of talking to someone and you think they are lying? Well, you are not alone. W e’ve all had that feeling. But did you know that there are several things you can look for to see if you are being lied to?Sometimes you can tell if a person is lying by observing what they do with their body. When people are lying they tend not to move their arms, hands or legs very far from their body. They don’t want to take up very much space because they don’t want to be noticed. Sometimes a person who is lying will not look you in the eyes. Other times people who lie try to look at you in a strong way because they want to convince you they are telling the trugh.Liars also use deflection. For example, if you ask a liar the question“Did you steal Fatima’s bag?”they mayanswer with something like“Fatima is my friend. Why would I do that?”In this situation the person is telling the truth, but they are also not answering the question. They are trying to deflect your attention. Liars may also give too many details. They may try to over-explain things. They do this because they want to convince you of what they are saying.Often when a person is lying, they do not want to continue talking about their lie. If you think someone is lying, quickly change the subject. If the person is lying, they will spear more comfortable because they are not talking about theirlie any longer. A little later, change the subject back to what you were talkingabout before. If the person seems uncomfortable again, they may be lying.It’s very hard for a liar to avoid filling silence created by you. He or she wantsyou to believe the lies being woven; silence gives no feedback on whether or notyou’ve bought the story. If you’re a good listener, you’ll a lready be avoidinginterruptions, which in itself is a great technique to let the story unfold.Just because a person is showing these behaviors, it does not mean they are lying.They might be shy or nervous. But, if you think someone is lying, you might wantto use some of these techniques. Hopefully, you won’t need to very often.41. According to the passage, a person couldbe lying he or she . A. offers more information than necessB. appears to be shy or nervousC. changes the subject of the conversationD. speaks very fast and vaguely42. Which of the following can be learned from the passage?A. Liars always try to avoid direct eye contact when they tell lies.B. We can make people lie by changing the subject in a conversation.C. Liars are often expansive in hand and arm movements while talking.D. We make liars uncomfortable by giving no feedback in a conversation.43. The passage mainly talks about .A. who deceives usB. why people tell liesC. how to detect liesD. what to do with liars(B)A person , like a commodity, needs packaging. But going too far is absolutely undesirable. A little exaggeration, however, does no harm when it shows the person’s unique qualities to their advantages. To show personal attractivenessin a casual and natural way, it is important for one to have a clear knowledgeof oneself. A skilled packager knows how to add art to nature without any signsof embellishment, so that the person so packaged is not a commodity but a human being, lively and lovely.A young person, especially a female, shining with beauty and full of life, hasall the favor granted by God. Any attempt to make up would be self-defeating. Youth, however, comes and goes in a flash. Packaging for the middle- aged is primarilyto hide the marks made by years. If you still enjoy life enough to keepself-confidence and work at pioneering work, you are unique in your natural qualities, and your attractiveness and grace will remain. Elderly people are beautiful if their river of life has been, through plains, mountains and jungles, running its course as it should. You have really lived your life, which now arrivesat a self - satisfied stage of quietness and calmness with no interest in fame or wealth. There is no need to make use of hair dyeing. The snowcapped mountain itselfis it se l f a beautiful scene of fairyland. Let your looks change from young to oldin step with the natural ageing process so as to keep in harmony with nature, for harmony itself is beauty, while the other way round will only end in unpleasantness.To be in the company of the elderly is like reading a thick book of (better quality) edition, which attracts one so much that one is unwilling to part with it.As long as one finds where one stands, one knows how to package oneself, justas a commodity sets up its brand by the right packaging.44. It can be concluded fromthe passage that . A. people should be packaged at all ages B. people should be packaged in a special wayC. elderly people also care about packagingD. proper packaging makes people attractive45. According to the author, if you want to keep in harmony withnature, you should . A. dye your hair B. wear makeup at a youngC. follow the aging processD. give up fame and wealth46.
