In ancient Egypt, the pharaoh(法老) treated the message runner like a prince when he arrived at the palace, if he brought good news. However, if the exhausted runner had the misfortune to bring the pharaoh unhappy news, his head was cut off.Shades of that spirit spread ove r today’s conversations. Once a friend and I packed up some peanut butter and sandwiches for an outing. As we walkedlightheartedly out of the door, picnic basket in hand, a smiling neighbor looked up at the sky and said, “Oh boy, a bad day for a picn ic. The weatherman says it’s going to rain.” I wanted to strike him on the face with the peanut butter and sandwiches. Not for his stupid weather report, but for his smile.Several months ago I was racing to catch a bus. As I breathlessly put my handful of cash across the Greyhound counter, the sales agent said with a broad smile, “Oh, that bus left five minutes ago.” Dreams of headcutting!It’s not the news that makes someone angry. It’s the unsympathetic attitude with which it’s delivered(传递). Everyone must give bad news from time to time, and big winners do it with the proper attitude. A doctor advising his patient that she needs an operation does it in a caring way. A boss informing an employee he fails to get the job takes on a sympathetic tone. Big winners know, when delivering any bad news, they should share the feeling of the receiver.Unfortunately, many people are not aware of this. When you’re tired from a long flight, has a hotel clerk cheerfully said that your room isn’t ready yet? When you had your heart set on the toasted beef, has your waiter merrily told you that he just served the last piece? It makes you as a traveler or diner want to land your fist right on their unsympathetic faces.sympathy, I would have appreciated his warning. Had the Greyhound salesclerk sympathetically informed me that my bus had already left, I probably would have said,“Oh，that’s all right. I’ll catch the next one.” Big winners, when they bear bad news, deliver bombs with the emotion the bombarded(被轰炸的) person is sure to have.【解题导语】本文主要讲述当我们要告诉别人不好的消息的时候，要注意说话的方式和语气，还要带有同情心。

2020年高考英语复习《必修四Unit 4 Body language》：阅读理解ARecently，I had lunch with a young Chinese student who studies at a college in New York.He is very bright and aspiring and I enjoyed our conversation.Still I felt frustrated and useless afterwards because I was not able to provide him with any good news.Graduating at the end of this year，he asked me how he could find a job in this country and fulfill his career dreams.In recent years，students who found a job here after graduation have had to go through a cruel lottery system to obtain their HIB working visa.And the success rates have been declining year after year because of the ever growing number of st year，there were 233,000 applicants, and only 30 percent of them were lucky，less than half of the rate in 2013.And it can only become President Donald Trump's immigration policies in this country are tightening up and this trend will continue for at least the next few years.In this case，foreign students studying social sciences，a field in which starting salaries are rarely above the required amount，can kiss their visa hopes goodbye.Compared to the older generation of Chinese students，today's young people no longer consider the US as the only option.Many start to think China offers better opportunities in the longer term.This is not to say that Chinese students in the US are not interested in job opportunities here any more.A few years of work experience in the US can give them leverage when they finally land back in their home country.But if the job opportunities are largely reduced by the tightening of immigration policy，I expect there will be a decline.And if that happens，it is the American economy that will suffer from the loss of those educated，hard-working and talented immigrants.[语篇解读]本文为一篇记叙文。

WhenI was a young musician, hewas my biggest fan. I played my violin for him when he visited, and heloved everything, but each time he had one request.“Could you play Amazing Grace？” he asked, full of hope and with a twinkle in his eye, because heknew my answer was always,“I don’ t know that one！” Wewent through th is routine at every major holiday, and I always figured I ’d have time to learnit for him later.About the time I entered high school and started guitar, Grandpa gotcancer. The last time I saw him alive was Thanksgiving weekend in 1985. Mymom warned us that Grandpa didn ’t look the same anymore and that we should prepare ourselves. For a moment I didn ’ t recognize him. He looked so small among all the white sheets. Wehad all gathered in Ohio for the holiday, and I ’m sure we all knew we were there to say good-bye. I can see now that Grandpa held on long enough to see us each one more time. I remember how we ate inthe dining room and laughed and talked while Grandpa rested in his hospitalbed. I wonder if it was sad for him to be alone with our voices and laughter.Knowing Grandpa, he was probably content.The next morning I found my momentalone with him. I pulled out my guitar,tuned to his appreciative gaze, and finally played for him Amazing Grace.I had worked on it for weeks, knowing it never mattered whether I actuallyplayed it well and choosing not to believe as I played that it was my lastconcert for my biggest fan. The cancer had stolen his smile, but I saw joyin his eyes. He held my hand afterward, and I knew I had done something important.I argued with people all through college about my music major.I was told by strangers that music wouldn’t make me any money and it wasn’t useful like being a doctor.

Unit 4 Body languageⅠ.阅读理解The mysterious science of reading gestures is explained using practical explanations and clear images.Gestures are products of both genetic(遗传的) and environmental influence.Understanding our gestures is not as difficult as some people would have you believe.All human beings use them and so actually have a “built-in” ability to recognize and read it.Fingers crossedGenerally this means“wishing for good luck or fortune”.Another explanation could be seen as “here’s hoping”.The gesture probably has Christian origins where the gesture was believed to get away from evil.As such,people believe that crossing the fingers when telling a lie somehow gets away from the evil of the lie.Some historians believe that crossing your fingers is a hidden or secret way of making the Christian sign of cross—a piece way of defeating evils.As a gesture it has both good and bad meanings.Luck or lies.Waving the first fingerMothers and teachers are common users with this hand gesture.In general it is used to warn a single person.It is a change of the “you” gesture.If translated into language it would say “Stop whatever you are doing and pay attention to me.I am your superior and I am warning you!” Classified as a “silent” parent to child gesture,it is completely unacceptable in a professional environment where it willbe interpreted (诠释) as both rude and domineering(盛气凌人的).Some psychologists believe that it has a meaning of the whip.1.What can we infer from the first paragraph?A.Reading gestures is a secret.B.Gestures are formed in daily life.C.Some people make reading gestures difficult on purpose.D.It is hard to explain gestures by images.2.What does a Christian’s crossing his fingers mean?A.Showing he isn’t lucky.B.Wishing to succeed.C.Getting rid of the evil of the lie.D.Crossing the street.3.What is the purpose of your mum’s waving her first finger?A.To wish for good luck.B.To stop you.C.To praise you.D.To help you.4.Why isn’t waving the finger used in a formal occasion?A.Because it is rude.B.Because it is friendly.C.Because it is surprising.D.Because it is helpful.语篇解读:本文是说明文,主要介绍了两种手势语。

B．Children's literature.C．Advertisement. D．Science fiction.【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要向读者介绍了作家Beatrix Potter，以及英国作家Matthew Dennison写的一本关于Beatrix Potter生活的书.长难句分析：Millions of copies of her 23 books have been sold—in many languages.(第四段第二句)译文：她的23本书被翻译成多种语言，已售出数百万册.词汇积累：illustration n．插图extraordinary adj.令人惊奇的，非凡的earnest adj.真诚的，认真的affectionate adj.深情的，充满爱的1．D 细节理解题.根据第三段第一句可知，这本书是关于Beatrix Potter的，A、C项错误；这本书是英国作家Matthew Dennison写的，B项错误；这本书是最近出版的关于Beatrix Potter故事的书，D项正确.故选D.2．D 细节理解题.Dennison, however, repairs this with earnest descriptions，including his beautifully affectionate descriptions about Potter's life.(最后一段第一句)译文：然而，Dennison用真诚的描写，包括他对Potter生活的优美深情的描述弥补了这个不足.解题思路：根据关键句可知，这本书的写作风格是使用了生动深情的描述.故选D.3．A 推理判断题.整篇文章都在介绍英国作家Matthew Dennison出版的这本关于Beatrix Potter生活的书，讲到了这本书的内容、写作手法等等，因此这应该是一篇书评.故选A.***语法填空.After spending nearly every waking minute with Angelfor eight straight days, I knew that I had to tell her just one thing.

He said before the whole class that only if we put our hearts into our lessons could we make great progress. He also said I set the good example to all of my classmatesand that I memorized all the words of Unit 3 as though I was not good at English. He also added that everyone should learn from me. Hearing that the head teacher said, I was more than glad and my heart beat wildly. At the same time, I made up my mind to study hard rather than wastingprecious time on those useless things, such as playingvideo games and chatting online.On my own experience, I learn that several words of praise can make a great difference to someone.答案：As a student, I can tell you that there is better than praised by my teacher before my classmates.The other day, I was praised by my head teacher at the class meeting because I recited all the words of Unit 3.
