As the big day drew nearer and nearer, they both grew nervous because each of them had a problem. The bridegroom decided to ask his father for advice. “Dad,” he said, “I love Lily very much, but I have very smelly feet, so I’m afraid that she will not put up with them.” His father said,“All you have to do is wash your feet as often as possible, and you should always wear socks, even when you go to bed.” Well,it seemed a workable solution, the young man thought.The young woman turned to her mother. “Mom,” she said, “My morning breath is so bad that I’m afraid my new husband will n ot want to live in the same room with me. I love him. I can’t live without him.”Her mother said, “In the morning,get straight out of bed when you wake up, and head for the bathroom and brush your teeth. Don’t say any word before you brush your teeth.” The young woman followed her mother’s advice.They were finally married in a wonderful ceremony. Not forgetting the advice each had received, they carefully spent every day. The husband wore his socks everynight and the wife kept her mornings silent; they did quite well until about a month later. Just before dawn, the husband woke only to find that one of his socks was gone! Thinking of the terrible result, he felt frightened at once. He jumped up and began to search the bed for his sock in a hurry. Of course, this made the wife woken. Without thinking, the wife asked, “What on earth are you doing?”The husband stopped in surprise, and then he cried, “Oh, no! You must have swallowed my sock!”24.

You will certainly notice a whole new reaction from people if you use the power of body language.Relax your shoulders, keep your hands at your sides (never inside your pockets) and breathe slowly. Have a warm, welcoming facial expression as if you look forward to communicating. Depending on the situation, you may smile when appropriate.Face the other person or your audience and keep eye contact as much as possible throughout the talk. Nodding and tilting(倾斜) your head closer can show that you are listening.Do not fold(交叉) your arms, look down at the floor or put your hands in your pockets. These can show that you are uninterested. If you have any comments, you can show them in negative but respectful ways like raising your eyebrows.A lot of your body language can show how confident, interested, bored, angry or nervous you are. Keeping your head up throughout the entire conversation can show that you are very much into the conversation at hand.You may feel free to use a few hand gestures to emphasize(强调) a point. If you are enumerating things, it’s better to use each of your fingers as you mention each item to help your audience keep track.Pacing will help you create more ground if you have a larger crowd to communicate with. It will also show confidence on your part as you think of more things to say.Be very careful when touching the other person since you are crossing the boundaries(界限) of body language through actual contact. Remember that in body language, it is your body that does the talking for you.28. According to the text, if you find a listener raising his eyebrows, he may _______.A. try to show his angerB. want to give his own opinionC. not understand what you sayD. want to prove his confidence29.

It is likely that your living room will have a television set and a video, and your kitchen a washing machine and a microwave oven. Your bedroom drawers will be filled with almost three times as many clothes as you need. You almost certainly own a car and possibly a home computer, holiday abroad at least once a year and eat out at least once a week.Now, perhaps, more than ever before, people are wondering what life is all about, and what it is for. Seeking material success is beginning to trouble large numbers of people around the world. They feel that the long hours work culture to make more money is eating up their lives, leaving them very little time or energy for family or pastimes. Many are turning to other ways of living and downshifting is one of them. Six percent of workers in Britain took the decision to downshift last year.One couple who downshifted is Daniel and Liz. They used to work in central London. He was a newspaper reporter and she used to work for an international bank. They would go to work by train every day from their large house in the suburbs, leaving their two children with a nanny. Most evenings Daniel wouldn’t get homeuntil eight or nine o’clock and nearly twic e a month he would have to fly to New York for meetings. They both earned a large amount of money but began to feel that life was passing them by.Nowadays, they run a farm in the mountains of Wales. “I always wanted to have a farm then,”says Daniel, “and we took almost a year to make the decision to downshift. It’s taken some getting used to, but it’s been worth it. We have to think twice now about spending money on car repairs and we no longer have any holidays. However, I think it’s made us stronger a s a family, and the children are a lot happier.Liz, however, is not quite sure. “I used to enjoy my job, even though it was hard work and long hours. I’m not really a country girl, but I suppose I’m gradually getting used to looking after the animals. One thing I do like, though, is being able to see more of my children. My advice for other people wanting to do the same is not to think about it too much or you might not do it at all.”32. The passage tells us that ________________.A. people seldom work long hours to make moneyB. people hardly buy more things than necessaryC. people are sure everything they own is in the right placeD. people realize there is more to life than just making money33. When Daniel was a reporter he __________.A. lived in central LondonB. disliked his jobC. missed his childrenD. was well paid34.
