A

We usually send and receive information through the movement of our bodies. Body language can express(表达) different feelings. We often use gestures(手势) or body movements to express our mind. For example, when someone is giving a talk, he or she may often use his or her hands to emphasize(强调) points.

The victory(胜利) sign, the OK sign, the goodbye wave and the blowing of a kiss are all popular gestures in America. However, most of these gestures are not accepted(接受) by people in other countries. For example, the OK gesture means acceptance in America, but it has other meanings in other countries. In France, it means worthlessness(无价值), while in Greece it is a sign of quite disrespect(不尊重).

There are some other differences in the non-verbal(非语言的) messages of people of different sexes(性别). In American culture, men usually sit or stand with their legs apart and hands outward, while women usually keep their legs together and their hands at their sides. Women sit quietly than men most of the time. Women are also better than men at expressing themselves using gestures.

In short, body language is simple and useful, so we should learn how to use it in our daily lives. 41. Which gestures are talked about in this passage? ①the stop sign ②the OK sign ③the goodbye sign ④the quiet sign ⑤the victory sign ⑥the kiss sign A. ①②③⑤ B. ②③⑤⑥ C. ①③⑤⑥ D. ②③④⑤ 42.

A. gestures are easy to learn for women B. different countries have the same gestures C. men usually sit quietly more often than women D. women are better at expressing themselves by using gestures 44. We learn from the passage that . A. if we want to emphasize our points, we must use gestures B. the blowing of a kiss is thought to be rude in Greece C. there are differences between men’s and women’s non-verbal messages D. many people don’t like to express themselves by using gestures 45. What’s the best title for this passage? A. Body language. B. The OK sign. C. Different Cultures. D. Popular languages.

I work as a volunteer for an organization that helps the poor in Haiti. I decided to take my son Brain there for a week, hoping to educate(教育) him.

Before getting out, I told Brain this trip would be tiring and hard. For the first two days, he said almost nothing. Then on the third day, when we were climbing over high rocky mountains, he turned to me and smiled, “Really hard.”

After that, a five-year-old girl, wearing a too large dress and broken shoes, followed Brain around. Later he said regretfully(遗憾地), “I wish I could speak French.” I was surprised that this was from a boy who always hated French classes.

However(然而), the moment that really reached my heart occurred in a village(村庄) deep in the mountains. I was interviewing(采访) a woman villager for an article. By working hard, she had learned to read and write and became part of the leadership(领导层) of the village.

Learning her story, Brain was greatly touched. His eyes were wet and there was love and respect(尊重) on his face. He finally understood the importance of my work. When leaving for home, Brain even offered to stay in as a volunteer. This trip was very meaningful.

46. Why did the writer take his son to Haiti? A. Because they wanted to take a trip there.

Life is like four seasons. Now I am very old, but when I was young, it was the spring of my life. I was born, I played a lot, and then I started school. I learnt many new things. Like a flower, I grew bigger every day. There were happy days and sorrowful days: some days the sun shone, and some days it didn’t.

In my twenties, I had a good job. I was strong and happy. Then I married and had a child. In those days, I didn’t have much time to think. Every day I was busy and worked very hard. And so, I started to get some white hair. The summer of my life passed quickly.

Then the days got shorter. Leaves fell from the trees. My child was a university student, and then an engineer. My home was much quieter. I started walking more slowly. One day I stopped walking. I had more time. I understood this was my autumn, a beautiful time when the trees change color and give us delicious fruits.

But the days kept getting shorter and colder. Winter has come. I am getting older and older. I know I do not have many days left, but I will enjoy them to the end and try to make my winter a warm one. 51. The writer started walking more slowly in the ________ of his life.

But many students may not do well in an open classroom. For some students, if there are too few rules, they will do little in school. They will not make good use of open education. Because open education is so different from traditional(传统的) education, these students may have a problem of getting used to making so many choices. It is important for many students to have some rules in the classroom. A few rules will help them. The last point about open education is that some traditional teachers show little interest in it. So it may not get support from those teachers.
