Before saying anything, people communicate nonverbally by making gestures. According to an investigation(调查), only 30 to 35 percent of our communication is verbal. When people don’t know the language, the most common way to communicate is through gestures. However, many gestures have different meanings, or no meaning at all, in different parts of the world.In the United States, for example, nodding your head up and down means “yes”. In some parts of Greece and Turkey, however, this motion can mean “no”. In southeast Asia, nodding your head is a polite way of saying “I’ve heard you”.In ancient Rome, when the emperor wanted to spare someone’s life, he would put his thumb up. Today in the United States, when someone puts his/her thumb up, it means “Everything is all right.” However, in Sardinia and Greece, the gesture is insulting and should not be used there.In the United States, raising your clasped(握紧的) hands above your head means “I’m the champion” or “I’m the winner”. It is the sign prizefighters make when they win a fight. When a leading Russian statesman(政治家) made his gesture after a White House meeting, Americans misunderstood and thought he meant he was a winner. In Russia, however, it is a sign of friendship.There are other nonverbal signals that people should be aware of when they go to another country, such as the distance to maintain between speakers. Americans stand closer to each other than English people. English people don’t like touching somebodyor being touched. Now in America, touch is important. Friends touch each other on the arm, for example. They often put an arm ar ound a friend when they say “hello” or “goodbye”.41. It is very important to know how to communicate nonverbally when you are in another country because______.A. most people speak different languagesB. much of our communication is nonverbal on many occasionsC. people usually make gestures before saying anythingD. it’s easy to learn how to express oneself through gestures42. If a native in Singapore nods his head up and down when you talk to him, his motion means“______”.A. yesB. noC. tha t’s all rightD. I’ve heard you43. When the Russian leader put up his clasped hands after the meeting at the White House______.A. he meant Russia was the winnerB. he was insulting AmericaC. he made a show of friendship to AmericaD. he in fact meant nothing at all44. The gesture of putting one’s thumb up shouldn’t be used when you are travelling in______.A. ItalyB. the United StatesC. GreeceD. Southeast AsiaBThere is an English saying, “Laughter is the best medicine.” Until recentl y, few people took the saying seriously. Now, however, doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body. They have found that laughter can really improve people’s health.Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films while doctors checked their heart, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise. It increases blood pressure, the heart beating and breathing; it also works several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach, and even the feet. If laughter exercises the body, it must be beneficial.Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effects of pain on the body. In one experiment, doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs. The group that tolerated the pain for the longest time was the group which listened to a funny program. The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemicals in the brain which decrease both stress and pain.As a result of these discoveries, some doctors in the United States now hold laughter clinics, in which they help to improve their patients’ condition by encouraging them to laugh. They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing, making them smile is enough to produce beneficial effects similar to those caused by laughter.45. We learn from the first paragraph that laughter______.A. is good for one’s h ealthB. is related to some illnessC. has been investigatedD. has no effect on the body46. Which of the following statements is NOT true of laughter according to the passage?A. It reduces pain.B. It exercises the body.C. It reduces stress.D. It can cure cancer.47. In a laughter clinic, doctors______.A. laugh at their patientsB. encourage their patients to laughC. smile when they don’t feel like laughingD. never stop laughing48. What is the writer’s attitude towards laughter?A. Critical.B. Doubtful.C. Positive.D. Negative.五、语法填空（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）Up to now, nobody 49.________ (be) able to do better than Charlie Chaplin in humour. He made people laugh at a time when they felt depressed, so they could feel more content 50.________ their lives.Charlie’s parents were poor music hall performers.

I was very afraid and I felt so alone and discouraged. Then one day, I had to go through a two-hour medical treatment. The doctor wanted me to relax, so he had me listen to some music, and one of the songs was Happy. The song made me feel so much better that from then on I be gan to listen to music all the time. John A. Logan said, “Music is the medicine of the mind. ” And it’s true. Music helped me recover.Music gave me happiness. When I listened to music, it made my spirits fly like a kite in the wind. Music gave me strength and brought me relief. It was the rock I leant on to become strong and to get through those hard times. Moreover, music gave me hope and a sense of satisfaction. It became my best friend. It spoke words ofencouragement to the deepest part of my being.Of course, I hope none of you have to go through the same kind of suffering that I did. At the same time, we all go through various periods when we feel sad or alone. During those times, music can help you in the same way that it helped me. I hope all of you will somehow begin to treasure music and make it a part of your life.Thank you!Ⅱ. 按要求完成任务1. 写出文章中表达音乐好处的相关表达。

He brightened the lives of Americans and British through two world wars and the hard years in between. 在两次世界大战及中间艰苦的岁月里，他给英国和美国人民带来了快乐。
He made people laugh at a time when they felt depressed, so they could feel more content with their lives. 在人们感到沮丧的时候，查理使人们开怀大笑，于是他们对自己的生活感到更加满足。
Not that Charlie's own life was easy! 然而卓别林自己的生活也并不容易。
He was born in a poor family in 1889. His parents were both poor music hall performers. 他生于1889年，出身贫寒。
他的父母都是杂耍戏院里贫穷的演员。
