三、阅读理解
Marian Bechtel sits at West Palm Beach’s Bar Louie counter by herself, quietly reading her e-book as she waits for her salad. What is she reading None of your business! Lunch is Bechtel’s “me” time. And like more Americans, she’s not alone.
A new report found 46 percent of meals are eaten alone in America. More than half(53 percent)have breakfast alone and nearly half(46 percent)have lunch by themselves. Only at dinnertime are we eating together anymore, 74 percent, according to statistics from the report.
“I prefer to go out and be out. Alone, but together, you know ” Bechtel said, looking up from her book. Bechtel, who works in downtown West Palm Beach, has lunch with coworkers sometimes, but like many of us, too often works through lunch at her desk. A lunchtime escape allows her to keep a boss from tapping her on the shoulder. She returns to work feeling energized. “Today, I just wanted some time to myself, ” she said.
Just two seats over, Andrew Mazoleny, a local videographer, is finishing his lunch at the bar. He likes that he can sit and check his phone in peace or chat up the barkeeper with whom he’s on a first-name basis if he wants to have a little interaction(交流). “I reflect on how my day’s gone and think about the rest of the week, ” he said. “It’s a chance for self-reflection. You return to work recharged and with a plan. ”
That freedom to choose is one reason more people like to eat alone. There was a time when people may have felt awkward about asking for a table for one, but those days are over. Now, we have our smartphones to keep us company at the table. “It doesn’t feel as alone as it may have before all the advances in technology, ” said Laurie Demeritt, whose company provided the statistics for the report.
1. What are the statistics in paragraph 2 about
A. Food variety. B. Eating habits.
C. Table manners. D. Restaurant service.
2. Why does Bechtel prefer to go out for lunch
A. To meet with her coworkers.
B. To catch up with her work.
C. To have some time on her own.
D. To collect data for her report.
3. What do we know about Mazoleny
A. He makes videos for the bar.
B. He’s fond of the food at the bar.
C. He interviews customers at the bar.
D. He’s familiar with the barkeeper.
4. What is the text mainly about
A. The trend of having meals alone.
B. The importance of self-reflection.
C. The stress from working overtime.
D. The advantage of wireless technology.
四、阅读填句
根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Improving your body language can improve the clarity of your message, make you appear more confident and more attractive, improve your first impressions and even make you feel better. Here are a few tips to improve your body language:
Don’t cross your arms or legs. You have probably already heard you shouldn’t cross your arms as it might make you seem defensive or guarded. 1 Keep your arms and legs open.
2 If there are several people you are talking to, give them all some eye contact to create a better connection and see if they are listening. Keeping too much eye contact might make people uncomfortable. Giving no eye contact might make you seem insecure. If you aren’t used to keeping eye contact it might feel a little hard or scary in the beginning. Keep working on it and you’ll get used to it.
Smile and laugh. Don’t take yourself too seriously. Relax a bit, smile and laugh when someone says something funny. People will be a lot more likely to listen to you if you seem to be a positive person. But don’t be the first to laugh at your own jokes. 3
Smile when you are introduced to someone but don’t keep a smile plastered on your face, or you’ll seem insincere.
Move at a relaxed steady pace. Moving too fast can make you seem nervous and unconfident. 4 It will make you both feel less stressed and more confident at the same time.
With all the above tips, do what feels natural and don’t overdo anything. Try and improve just one piece of body language consciously each day, and you may be surprised just how much clearer and better you can communicate your point with just a little attention to personal development. 5
A. Go ahead and have a try!
B. Learn to slow down a bit.
C. This goes for your legs too.
D. Make good use of hands.
E. Have eye contact, but don’t stare.
F. It makes you seem nervous and needy.
G. This naturally makes you appear more confident.
