Rock Climbing as Sport and Art
It is estimated(估计) that nine million people go rock climbing in the United States.Millions more take part in the activity around the world. 1 Others compete.Rock climbing can be dangerous.But there are many methods and protective devices(装置) that can increase a climber’s safety.
2 Climbers have to pull themselves straight up the face of very high rocks or walls.So they have to be strong enough to carry their own weight.And climbers sometimes have to hold on to rocks with only their fingers or toes.
There are several kinds of rock climbing.Traditional rock climbing is done outside.Climbers wear ropes and attach devices to the rocks as they climb many hundreds of meters up.They also connect their ropes to the devices. 3 Sport climbing is similar.However,in those cases the protective devices are permanently(永久地) placed in the rock.There is also indoor climbing.Rock walls made of wood or concrete have places for the climber’s hands and feet.
4 People climb glaciers or frozen waterfalls instead of rocks.They use special equipment for the ice.
And then there is bouldering-climbing(巨石攀岩) rocks between three and seven meters high. 5 Many climbers like bouldering because they can use less equipment.Climbers often need only special shoes and chalk.All climbers use chalk to keep their hands dry.
A.Ice-climbing is exactly as it sounds.
B.Some do it just for personal interest.
C.Some go climbing at weekends or in holidays.
D.It is a quicker and more intense(剧烈的) kind of climbing.
E.If a climber slips,a rope can stop him from falling.
F.Climbing takes strength,control and good balance.
G.It is more challenging and dangerous,but also more fun.

Smiling really can make people feel happier,according to a new study.American psychologists(心理学家) looked at nearly 50 years of data testing whether facial expressions can lead people to feel the emotions related to those expressions.They found smiling made people feel happier;frowning(皱眉) made them feel angrier or sadder.
However,the effects are not so strong,and the researchers warn this should hardly be held up as a way to offset weak mental health conditions like depression.Lead researcher Nicholas Coles said:“Ordinary wisdom tells us that we can feel a little happier if we simply smile.Or that we can get ourselves in a more serious mood if we frown.But psychologists have actually disagreed about this idea for over 100 years.”
The research team says the disagreements became more pronounced in 2016,when 17 teams of researchers failed to copy a well-known experiment showing that the physical act of smiling can make people feel happier.Coles said:“Some studies have not found evidence that facial expressions can influence emotional feelings.But we can’t focus on the results of any one study.Psychologists have been testing this idea since the early 1970s,so we wanted to look at all the evidence.”
Using a data technique called meta-analysis(荟萃分析),the team collected data from 138 studies testing more than 11,000 people from all around the world.The results of the meta-analysis suggest that facial expressions have a small influence on feelings.
Coles added:“We don’t think that people can smile their way to happiness.But these findings are exciting because they provide evidence about how the mind and the body affect each other to shape our experience of emotion.We still have a lot to learn about these effects,but this meta-analysis put us a little closer to understanding how emotions work.”
1.What did the latest study find
A.Facial expressions could show how happy people are.
B.Acting happy and feeling happy have a weak connection.
C.Researchers share the same idea in the influence of smiling.
D.Smiling is the best way to fight with weak mental health conditions.
2.The underlined word “offset” in paragraph 2 can be replaced by “ ”.
A.recognise B.test
C.suffer from D.make up for
3.What might be the best title for the text
A.Smiling Really Can Make People Feel Happier

I want the world to be a better one because I am in it.However,“changing the world” isn’t easy.Here are some great ways to change it for the better.
Smile at Everyone.
1 Smile at people—the folks on the bus,or the receptionist at the office,for instance.Depending on your culture,you might feel a bit awkward or shy at first. 2 People would respond brilliantly to a smile.Take it further:Give out free hugs.
Write a Letter to Someone You Love.
If a letter takes too long,write a card or postcard to your parents,or a relative who you don’t see often but who you care deeply about. 3 Take it further:Write to a sick child,or a stranger in trouble.Your letter or card could make his or her day special.
4
Being creative is a good way.It’s not a necessarily big thing—but your poem,painting,special recipe,blog post,etc.may impress others.Take it further:Offer your creative skills to a local youth group,school or retirement home.You could play a game,run a class,organise a concert...
Say “Thank you”.
Saying a heartfelt “thank you” means a huge amount to someone.If you’re a manager at work,take time to thank your men for what they do. 5 Take it further:Write,phone or email someone in your community to thank them for the role they play.
A.Give it a try anyway!
B.Speak less and do more.
C.Create something unique.
D.Let them know how special they are to you.
E.It’s such a tiny thing,but it really does work.
F.Keeping writing will surely improve your social skills.
G.In your family,appreciate your partner,parents or kids.

Body language is the “silence language” of every culture.It is important to know the body language of every country,or we may be misunderstood.
In the United States,people greet each other with a handshake in a formal introduction.The handshake must be firm.If the handshake is weak,it is a sign of weakness or unfriendliness.Friends may place a hand on the other’s arm or shoulder.Some people,usually women,greet a friend with a hug.
Space is important to Americans.When two people talk to each other,they usually stand about two or a half feet away and at an angle,so they are not facing each other directly.Americans get uncomfortable when a person stands too close.They will move back to have their space.If Americans touch another person by accident,they will say “Pardon me” or “Excuse me”.
Americans like to look the other person in the eye when they are talking.If you don’t do so,it means you are bored,hiding something,or are not interested.But when you stare at someone,it is not polite.
Learning a culture’s body language is sometimes confusing.If you don’t know what to do,the safest thing to do is to smile.
1.Suppose you are meeting a customer from the United States,how will you greet him
A.Greet him with a hug.
B.Stare at him.
C.Place a hand on his arm.
D.Shake his hand firmly.
2.If you stand too close to Americans,they will .
A.face you directly B.move back
C.say “Pardon me” D.stare at you
3.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text
A.Americans stand side by side when talking with friends.

四、阅读理解
Body language is the “silence language” of every culture.It is important to know the body language of every country,or we may be misunderstood.
In the United States,people greet each other with a handshake in a formal introduction.The handshake must be firm.If the handshake is weak,it is a sign of weakness or unfriendliness.Friends may place a hand on the other’s arm or shoulder.Some people,usually women,greet a friend with a hug.
Space is important to Americans.When two people talk to each other,they usually stand about two or a half feet away and at an angle,so they are not facing each other directly.Americans get uncomfortable when a person stands too close.They will move back to have their space.If Americans touch another person by accident,they will say “Pardon me” or “Excuse me”.
Americans like to look the other person in the eye when they are talking.If you don’t do so,it means you are bored,hiding something,or are not interested.But when you stare at someone,it is not polite.
Learning a culture’s body language is sometimes confusing.If you don’t know what to do,the safest thing to do is to smile.
