A
A simple gesture can be formed into a child’s memory so quickly that it will cause the child to give a false answer to a question accompanied by that gesture.A new finding suggests that parents,social workers,psychologists and lawyers should be careful with their hands as well as their words.
Gestures can be as informative as speech,but hand gestures are so common that we rarely notice we’re using them.
While memories of both adults and children are easy to react to suggestions,those of children are known to be particularly influenced,said lead researcher Sara Broaders of Northwestern University.Kids are used to looking to adults to tell events for them and can be misled even if not intentionally(故意地).
Previous research,for example,has shown that detail-loaded questions often cause false answers;when asked,say “Did you drink juice at the picnic ”,the child is likely to say “yes” even if no juice had been available.It is not that the child is consciously lying,but rather the detail is quickly formed into his or her memory.
To avoid this problem,social workers have long been advised to ask children only open-ended questions,such as “What did you have at the picnic ”.But an open-ended question paired with a gesture,briefly meaning a juice box,is treated like a detailed question.That is,children become likely to answer falsely.
And it isn’t just a few kids:77% of children gave at least one piece of false information when a detail was suggested by an ordinary gesture.Gestures may also become more popular when talking with non-fluent language users,such as little kids,Broaders said as hand movements can impart meaning of unfamiliar words and phrases.“It certainly seems reasonable that adults would gesture more with children.”
In general,Broaders advises parents and other adults to “try to be aware of your hands when questioning a child about an event.Otherwise,you might be getting answers that don’t reflect what actually happened.”
1.What do we know about gestures according to the text
A.They have not any function at all.
B.They are rarely used by people.
C.They have a certain effect on children.
D.They are often used by social workers.
2.WhyarekidseasytobemisledbygesturesaccordingtoSaraBroaders

Much information can be conveyed,purely through our eyes,so the expression “eyes also talk” is often heard.
Can you recall any experience that further proves this statement On a bus you may quickly glance at a stranger,but not make eye contact.If he senses that he is being stared at,he may feel uncomfortable.
It is the same in daily life.If you are stared at for more than necessary,you will look at yourself up and down to see if there is anything wrong with you.If nothing goes wrong,you will feel angry about other’s staring at you that way.Eyes do convey information,right
Looking too long at someone may seem to be rude and aggressive.But things are different when it comes to staring at the opposite sex.If a man looks at a woman for more than 10 seconds and refuses to turn away his gaze(注视),his intentions are obvious.That is,he wishes to attract her attention,to make her understand that he is showing affection for her.
However,the normal eye contact for two people engaged in conversation is that the speaker will only look at the listener from time to time,in order to make sure that the listener does pay attention to what the former is speaking,to tell him that he is attentive.
If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking,as if he tries to control you,you will feel uneasy.A poor liar usually exposes himself by looking too long at the victim,since he believes the false idea that to look straight in the eye is a sign of honest communication.
In fact,continuous eye contact happens between lovers only,who will enjoy looking at each other tenderly for a long time,to show love that words cannot express.
Evidently,eye contact should be done according to the relationship between two people and the specific situation.
1.What may a person usually do on a bus
A.Glance at a stranger with eye contact.
B.Use eyes to talk to a stranger politely.
C.Glance at a stranger without eye contact.
D.Talk to a stranger politely after a quick glance.
2.Why is a poor liar easy to be seen through
A.He thinks that he is honest.
B.He wants to control the victim.
C.He feels uneasy about others’ eye contact.
D.He looks straight at the victim for too long a time.
3.Whatdoesitmeanifamanlooksatawomanforover10seconds
A.He likes her eyes.
B.He admires her.
C.He knows her well.
D.He makes contact with her.

Jennifer Mauer has needed more willpower than the typical college student to pursue her goal of earning a nursing degree.That willpower bore fruit when Jennifer graduated from University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire and became the first in her large family to earn a bachelor’s degree.
Mauer,of Edgar,Wisconsin,grew up on a farm in a family of 10 children.Her dad worked at a job away from the farm,and her mother ran the farm with the kids.After high school,Jennifer attended a local technical college,working to pay her tuition(学费),because there was no extra money set aside for a college education.After graduation,she worked to help her sisters and brothers pay for their schooling.
Jennifer now is married and has three children of her own.She decided to go back to college to advance her career and to be able to better support her family while doing something she loves:nursing.She chose the UW-Eau Claire program at Ministry Saint Joseph’s Hospital in Marsh field because she was able to pursue her four-year degree close to home.She could drive to class and be home in the evening to help with her kids.Jennifer received great support from her family as she worked to earn her degree:Her husband worked two jobs to cover the bills,and her 68-year-old mother helped take care of the children at times.
Through it all,she remained in good academic standing and graduated with honors.Jennifer sacrificed(牺牲) to achieve her goal,giving up many nights with her kids and missing important events to study.“Some nights my heart was breaking to have to pick between my kids and studying for exams or papers,”she says.However,her children have learned an important lesson witnessing their mother earn her degree.Jennifer is a first-generation graduate and an inspiration to her family—and that’s pretty powerful.

Can the way you stand or sit affect your success
This is often discussed in business—“the importance of body language”,noted the US news website Business Insider.“It actually has an impact on not just the way others look at us,but also how we actually perform.”
That’s perhaps why Harvard Business School professor Amy Cuddy shot to instant fame (一举成名) after giving a TED talk on the subject in 2012.According to The New York Times,Cuddy’s speech is among the most viewed TED talks of all time.
Cuddy and her team study body language,particularly what they call “high-power” and “low-power” poses.Their research showed that standing or sitting in a certain way,even for just two minutes,changes one’s body chemistry and self-perception.
“I wanted to equip people with tools that would help them feel stronger,less fearful,and better able to bring their full,spirited selves to stressful situations like speaking in class,” Cuddy told CNN.
“High-power” refers to the act of taking a posture of confidence,even when you don’t feel very confident.Typical high-power poses are about opening up.You stretch (伸展) and expand your body to take up as much space as possible.For example,bosses are doing high-power poses when they lean (倚靠) back in their chairs,put their hands behind their heads,and kick their feet up onto their desks.Meanwhile,people take low-power positions when they’re feeling helpless or defeated.They close up,wrapping their arms around themselves and tucking their limbs in (缩起四肢).
“This isn’t about what your body language is communicating to others.It’s about what your body language is communicating to you.Your body language is changing your mind,which changes your behaviour,which changes your outcomes,” said Cuddy.
The best-known high-power pose is nicknamed the “Wonder Woman” pose.You just stand tall with your chest out and your hands on your hips (臀部).Why not give it a shot (尝试),and see whether you feel more confident than before
1.Why did Professor Amy Cuddy want people to know her study on body language
A.To help people to become more confident.
B.To make people fitter and stronger.
C.To teach people how to make a better speech.
D.To help distinguish between people of different social classes.
2.Which of the following is probably a high-power pose according to the article
A.Folding your arms.
B.Looking down while in the presence of others.
C.Sitting with your arm spread out around the chair next to you.
D.Resting your chin on your hands as if wondering about something.
3.What’s the main purpose of this article
A.To explain what has made Amy Cuddy’s TED talk so popular.
B.To give practical tips on how to communicate with others.
C.To help readers to tell the differences between a high-power pose and a low-power one.
D.To explain why Amy Cuddy considers body language important.

Emoji and Workplace Communication
In Asia,messaging platforms are growing rapidly,with users in the hundreds of millions,both at work and play. 1 .It’s been reported that 76 percent of employees in some western countries are using emojis at work.
Written communications can often read as cold and dull.Using emojis can add humor and feeling,keeping intention clear. 2 ,encouraging better and more frequent communication.
In any given office,employees can range from age 22 to 70 and beyond,and finding common ground in communication style can be a challenge. 3 .While the younger generations prefer to communicate visually,for those used to working with traditional tools like email,it may feel like a learning curve(曲线).The good news is that it’s simple to learn and can be worth the effort.
There is also the matter of tone(语气).Who hasn’t received an email so annoying that it ruined an entire day 4 .Emoji can help communication feel friendlier,and even a serious note can be softened with an encouraging smile.
5 ,and emoji can contribute directly to that positive outcome.And when your employees begin adding smiling emojis to their business communication,you’ll know you have succeeded in improving your work culture.
A.Messages with emojis feel more conversational
B.Even a formal email can seem cold and unfriendly
C.Sending smiling faces to colleagues may seem strange
D.The popularity of these platforms is spreading globally
E.Giving employees the tools enables them to communicate honestly
F.Studies show that friendlier communication leads to a happier workplace
G.An easy way to bring all work generations together is with a chat platform

For many years there’s been a debate about rewarding our children.Does it work
Some people think parents should establish a standard with kids and give them something for meeting this standard as a reward.Punishment is given out in much the same way,but it’s used when certain standards of performance or behaviour have not been met.Kids will often become more dutiful when threatened with punishment,and work harder when promised a valuable reward.The problem is what happens when parents aren’t around.
To develop responsible,self-disciplined (自律的) kids,parents need to promote certain ideas.One of these ideas is that everyone pitches in and helps in the family,even if someone is not crazy about helping.Another idea is that there can be enjoyment in doing any task.When a task is for a worthy cause (our family can enjoy the house more because I helped clean it),and when parents are cheerful about their kids’ chores,this message can have a big impact.
This is how parents help kids develop a sense of responsibility.When children develop this responsibility,they’ll be more disciplined,and they’ll control their emotions better.When parents give rewards to kids,they reduce the sense of responsibility.They also create children who may temporarily perform to a certain standard,but who aren’t likely to continue the performance without the carrot hanging in front of them.
“Rewards and punishments can change behaviour for a while,but they cannot change the person who engages in the behaviour,at least in the way we want,” said Alfie Kohn,author of Punished by Rewards.“Good values have to be grown from the inside out.” Parents can help give their children a sense of shared responsibility and discipline which can last a lifetime.The real rewards that children receive will be their readiness for the complex and demanding world that waits for them—a world that rewards those who have learned the secrets of discipline and responsibility.

We were bathed in the sunshine of weekend when an adventurous idea hit me,to go to Panisha Island for a brand new weekend with my brother Jack!Actually,Jack was a good partner,quick-minded and no-panic in trouble.
An adventure waited for us ahead.It was only a little after 12:00 o’clock and it couldn’t hurt to go on a little exploration time.Could it
We didn’t want to play games at home anyway so I asked Mum,“Can we go to Panisha Island to explore ”
“Oh alright!I guess it’s only a short boat ride away.Be back by 5:00 o’clock!” Mum answered us.
We thanked Mum and got on our blue bike.We got to the pier(码头) and bought a two-way ticket to Panisha and back.The sea air blew on our face like silk.I stared out into the sea.I must have stared for a while because soon I heard,“PANISHA ISLAND!”
The moment we got off the boat,we were fascinated with everything around,the clear water,the blue skies,the singing of the birds... but we had no time to appreciate these.We impatiently rushed to what was called Tiger Jungle,surrounded by vast expanses of jungle with various puzzles and traps waiting for us to explore.Lizards,birds,and lots and lots of bugs...Suddenly a rabbit sprung out,staring at us,as if to ask us where we were from.Bees and spiders were also annoying to unprepared us.Seeing a snake winding its way in the bushes farther,I let out a scream!Jack smiled slyly(顽皮地) and commanded me to be calm.
A tough passageway led us to natural pools,shallow waters with fishing spots,overgrown bushes and even a plane crash site.“Why not catch some fish here ” I excitedly suggested.Jack was hesitating when a roar(吼叫),like a true tiger,came out from the farther jungle!Jack thought hard and decided to get back quickly.

Suddenly I missed a step and fell into the pool.I was extremely scared,struggling in the water.Seeing what had happened,Jack swiftly reached out his right hand,but unfortunately beyond my reach.Then he immediately picked up a stick from behind and gave the other end to me.However,the bank of the pool was too slippery and I was too scared to move.“Calm down!Grab at it firmly!” Jack encouraged in a loud voice.With his help and all my strength,I successfully got out.
There was not much time left for the return trip.Afraid of missing the boat back,Jack dragged me to the pier in a hurry.Meanwhile,I was looking back once in a while for fear that a beast might catch us up.We managed to catch the return boat finally but I had not yet got over the scare.Frightened and tired as I was,I congratulated myself on returning safe and sound.My brother and I harvested a meaningful exploration and really spent a brand new weekend.

This is often discussed in business—“the importance of body language”,noted the US news website Business Insider.“It actually has an impact on not just the way others look at us,but also how we actually perform.”
That’s perhaps why Harvard Business School professor Amy Cuddy shot to instant fame (一举成名) after giving a TED talk on the subject in 2012.According to The New York Times,Cuddy’s speech is among the most viewed TED talks of all time.
Cuddy and her team study body language,particularly what they call “high-power” and “low-power” poses.Their research showed that standing or sitting in a certain way,even for just two minutes,changes one’s body chemistry and self-perception.
“I wanted to equip people with tools that would help them feel stronger,less fearful,and better able to bring their full,spirited selves to stressful situations like speaking in class,” Cuddy told CNN.
“High-power” refers to the act of taking a posture of confidence,even when you don’t feel very confident.Typical high-power poses are about opening up.You stretch (伸展) and expand your body to take up as much space as possible.For example,bosses are doing high-power poses when they lean (倚靠) back in their chairs,put their hands behind their heads,and kick their feet up onto their desks.Meanwhile,people take low-power positions when they’re feeling helpless or defeated.They close up,wrapping their arms around themselves and tucking their limbs in (缩起四肢).
“This isn’t about what your body language is communicating to others.It’s about what your body language is communicating to you.Your body language is changing your mind,which changes your behaviour,which changes your outcomes,” said Cuddy.
The best-known high-power pose is nicknamed the “Wonder Woman” pose.You just stand tall with your chest out and your hands on your hips (臀部).Why not give it a shot (尝试),and see whether you feel more confident than before
1.Why did Professor Amy Cuddy want people to know her study on body language
A.To help people to become more confident.
B.To make people fitter and stronger.
C.To teach people how to make a better speech.
D.To help distinguish between people of different social classes.
2.Which of the following is probably a high-power pose according to the article
A.Folding your arms.
B.Looking down while in the presence of others.
C.Sitting with your arm spread out around the chair next to you.
D.Resting your chin on your hands as if wondering about something.
3.What’s the main purpose of this article
A.To explain what has made Amy Cuddy’s TED talk so popular.
B.To give practical tips on how to communicate with others.
C.To help readers to tell the differences between a high-power pose and a low-power one.

For many years there’s been a debate about rewarding our children.Does it work
Some people think parents should establish a standard with kids and give them something for meeting this standard as a reward.Punishment is given out in much the same way,but it’s used when certain standards of performance or behaviour have not been met.Kids will often become more dutiful when threatened with punishment,and work harder when promised a valuable reward.The problem is what happens when parents aren’t around.
To develop responsible,self-disciplined (自律的) kids,parents need to promote certain ideas.One of these ideas is that everyone pitches in and helps in the family,even if someone is not crazy about helping.Another idea is that there can be enjoyment in doing any task.When a task is for a worthy cause (our family can enjoy the house more because I helped clean it),and when parents are cheerful about their kids’ chores,this message can have a big impact.
This is how parents help kids develop a sense of responsibility.When children develop this responsibility,they’ll be more disciplined,and they’ll control their emotions better.When parents give rewards to kids,they reduce the sense of responsibility.They also create children who may temporarily perform to a certain standard,but who aren’t likely to continue the performance without the carrot hanging in front of them.
“Rewards and punishments can change behaviour for a while,but they cannot change the person who engages in the behaviour,at least in the way we want,” said Alfie Kohn,author of Punished by Rewards.“Good values have to be grown from the inside out.” Parents can help give their children a sense of shared responsibility and discipline which can last a lifetime.The real rewards that children receive will be their readiness for the complex and demanding world that waits for them—a world that rewards those who have learned the secrets of discipline and responsibility.

We were bathed in the sunshine of weekend when an adventurous idea hit me,to go to Panisha Island for a brand new weekend with my brother Jack!Actually,Jack was a good partner,quick-minded and no-panic in trouble.
An adventure waited for us ahead.It was only a little after 12:00 o’clock and it couldn’t hurt to go on a little exploration time.Could it
We didn’t want to play games at home anyway so I asked Mum,“Can we go to Panisha Island to explore ”
“Oh alright!I guess it’s only a short boat ride away.Be back by 5:00 o’clock!” Mum answered us.
We thanked Mum and got on our blue bike.We got to the pier(码头) and bought a two-way ticket to Panisha and back.The sea air blew on our face like silk.I stared out into the sea.I must have stared for a while because soon I heard,“PANISHA ISLAND!”
The moment we got off the boat,we were fascinated with everything around,the clear water,the blue skies,the singing of the birds... but we had no time to appreciate these.We impatiently rushed to what was called Tiger Jungle,surrounded by vast expanses of jungle with various puzzles and traps waiting for us to explore.Lizards,birds,and lots and lots of bugs...Suddenly a rabbit sprung out,staring at us,as if to ask us where we were from.Bees and spiders were also annoying to unprepared us.Seeing a snake winding its way in the bushes farther,I let out a scream!Jack smiled slyly(顽皮地) and commanded me to be calm.
A tough passageway led us to natural pools,shallow waters with fishing spots,overgrown bushes and even a plane crash site.“Why not catch some fish here ” I excitedly suggested.Jack was hesitating when a roar(吼叫),like a true tiger,came out from the farther jungle!Jack thought hard and decided to get back quickly.

Dear Jason,
I am really pleased that you will be coming to our school to study Chinese.I think you’ll face some difficulties in your study because Chinese is not easy to learn.You’ll also suffer from homesickness because of living far away from your country,but there is no need to feel worried.
Our classmates are very friendly and easy-going,so it’ll be easy for you to get used to the life here.I’ll introduce you to my family and friends,and I’m sure you won’t feel lonely.Besides,it’ll help you learn Chinese and Chinese culture.
In a word,I’ll try my best to make you feel at home,and I’m looking forward to meeting you.
Yours,
Li Hua

Suddenly I missed a step and fell into the pool.I was extremely scared,struggling in the water.Seeing what had happened,Jack swiftly reached out his right hand,but unfortunately beyond my reach.Then he immediately picked up a stick from behind and gave the other end to me.However,the bank of the pool was too slippery and I was too scared to move.“Calm down!Grab at it firmly!” Jack encouraged in a loud voice.With his help and all my strength,I successfully got out.
There was not much time left for the return trip.Afraid of missing the boat back,Jack dragged me to the pier in a hurry.Meanwhile,I was looking back once in a while for fear that a beast might catch us up.We managed to catch the return boat finally but I had not yet got over the scare.Frightened and tired as I was,I congratulated myself on returning safe and sound.My brother and I harvested a meaningful exploration and really spent a brand new weekend.
