When I was a boy, I disliked the feeling of “being a stranger” if my family went on holiday to another country.
At the age of seven, we went to visit a family friend in France. I had been practicing my French and was excited to use it. I spoke the first French words in a bakery in Paris. Despite a carefully prepared request, I was not ready for the rapid fire response. I had no idea what the sales girl said! I was so upset and knew if I wanted to get better, I would have to put in more efforts.
I started studying Chinese after my trip to China and I studied at Beijing Normal University in the late 1990s. I knew the language would help me to understand China better.
Like Chinese, my motivation to study Russian came from my interest in the country’s history, culture and music. Although I studied languages before joining the foreign office, I hoped that one day I would work internationally.
As a native English speaker, I didn’t expect people to understand me while traveling the world. I wanted to make efforts to understand others through their languages.
Learning a language also improves how you express yourself. When you have limited vocabulary, you have to creatively communicate your messages and meanings. This can also benefit communication skills in your first language. You’ll become more aware of the words you use and how you want people to respond.
Being able to speak other languages gives you another dimension. Not necessarily in terms of personality, but in your ability to have richer experiences with a broader mind.
4. What upset the author in the bakery
A. He didn’t meet his friend.
B. He couldn’t speak French.
C. He didn’t prepare the request.
D. He couldn’t understand the girl.
5. Why did the author study Russian
A. To live in Russia.
B. To travel the world.
C. To join the foreign office.
D To learn more about Russia.
6. What does the author intend to tell us
A. Ways of learning foreign languages.
B. Benefits of learning foreign languages.
C. Efforts needed to speak a language well.
D. Different languages in different countries.

Robots can be programmed to move a car and even perform some operations. However, when it comes to picking up something that they have not touched before, such as an egg, they often fail. Now, engineers have invented an artificial fingertip (指尖) which breaks that limitation. It enables machines to sense objects as a human fingertip does.
Engineers have been working hard to make robots flexible and sensitive. When researchers from a university began designing an artificial fingertip in 2009, they used human skin as a guide. Their first fingertip was about the size of a coke can. By 2018, 3D printing made it about the size of an adult's big toe, with the multi-layered structure like human skin.
The latest breakthrough is called TacTip. Scientists include artificial nerve networks into the fingertip, which enables a robot to quickly process what it's sensing and act accordingly like a real finger.
“A lot of our sense of touch is decided by our skin,” says professor Benjamin, leader of the research team. In our fingertips, nerve endings will deform when the skin touches an object and then sends the signals to the brain about what's happening. Similarly, the nerve networks of TacTip pick up and translate those signals into the fingertip's actions, telling robots to handle objects of all shapes and sizes without programming, according to Benjamin.
Some scientists doubt whether TacTip is only just skin-like. The signals from the artificial and human fingertips are not quite the same, as the signals in real skin are more intense. Other scientists think highly of this breakthrough. “At least it helps clarify how human touch works and is a necessary step to improve robotic touch,”says professor Smith, a material scientist.
7. Why does the writer mention“an egg”in Paragraph 1
A. To find a solution for engineers.
B To show robots have limitations.
C To tell how robots sense objects.
D. To explain why robots often fail.
8. Which of the following plays the most important role in the latest breakthrough
A. Artificial nerve networks.
B. 3D printing.
C. Multi-layered structure.
D. Human skin.
9. What does the underlined word“deform” mean in Paragraph 4
A. Develop.
B. Stop working.
C. Decrease.
D. Change shapes.
10. Which is the best title for the text
A. TacTip Changes How Touch Works in Humans
B. Robots Have Become More Flexible and Sensitive
C. Artificial Fingertip Gives Robots Human-like Touch
D. Engineers Have Achieved a Breakthrough in 3D Printing

When we moved into our home in Maui, Hawaii, 16 years ago, one good thing about this house was the huge avocado tree growing in the backyard.
This tree gave the most delicious avocados I have ever tasted. I lived on these avocados when nursing my first child. Fresh avocado was the very first food for my kids. This tree was so huge that it cast a massive shadow over our backyard. It was truly our magical tree.
Until one day, someone from the Health Department came to tell us that our avocado tree was too large and needed trimming. In New York, you get in trouble if you don’t clear the snow off your sidewalk. Here, it’s when your trees are too high. So along came the trimmer, leaving just the trunk and a few branches. I was sad. The kids were all sad. Some friends who knew it would say, “It’s going to grow back. Your next avocados will be crazy!” Yeah, whatever. The tree is gone, so stop doing that. It just didn’t work.
But a few days later, I noticed some unusual butterflies flying around the yard. And then, the sun came in the kitchen, creating this pleasant warmth once blocked by the huge tree. After about a month, I started to notice some tiny green shoots coming out of the cut branches, which eventually turned into full-on bright green leaves.
I started to feel like all was going to be fine, kind of like life. Little do we know what seems really difficult is actually life’s way of making us stronger. It’s life’s way of bringing in the butterflies, the sunshine, and the delightful flowers. We all know that saying, “It will be OK in the end. If it’s not, it’s not the end.”
24. What is mainly conveyed in paragraph 2 about the avocado tree
A. Her kids’ love for it. B. Its fruit’s good taste.
C. Her expectation of it. D. Its benefits for her family.
25. Why did the author’s friends say the words in paragraph 3
A. To laugh at her. B. To cheer her up.
C. To show their regret. D. To express their excitement.
26. What happened to the avocado tree in the end
A. It had no branches. B. It blocked the sunshine.
C. It was full of life again. D. It bore more avocados.
27. What message does the author seem to convey in the text
A. You harvest what you sow. B. Luck and Misfortune comes in turn.
C. Success won’t come unless you go to it. D. The important thing in life is to have a dream.

Sara Braden doesn’t have time to lose things. She’s a working mom with a lot more hobbies than her friends, and when she misplaces her keys or leaves her purse at a restaurant, she becomes annoyed and impatient. “It impacts me greatly,” says Braden, 35, a Washington officer.
According to a recent study led by Daniel Arely, a professor of psychology at Harvard University, Braden has ADHD, a type of attention disorder, which, she says, makes her “likely to put things in certain places and not remember where I put them.”
Her anxiety is familiar to anyone whose phone is missing a dozen times a day. Such kind of mistakes might result in a constant fear: Is something wrong with me Probably not. “It’s common and certainly annoying,” says Professor Arely. “Most of the time, losing things is a breakdown of attention and memory. We’re thinking about something else. We have other concerns occupying our attention, and then we never really add the information to memory about where we’ve put the object.”
The study shows that, sometimes, people with ADHD report that losing things affects their work productivity or relationships. For example, if they can’t find their keys all the time and are late for a dinner party, they could anger their friends. In that case, it’s worth being evaluated by a doctor. Nevertheless, not all cases deserve special attention. Actually, people who have had ADHD since they were teens have nothing much to worry about. For those with ADHD, what really matters is changes from past performance.
When we’re operating on autopilot and not truly focused on our surroundings, we may still lose things even with the strongest intention not to do so, Professor Arely says. But for the most part, he thinks people can overcome the tendency to lose things. Sara Braden has learned to adapt, in part by writing down where she has stored items. She also coaches herself not to panic when an item gets lost.
28. How does the author introduce the topic
A. By offering an example. B. By quoting a remark.
C. By making a comparison. D. By giving an explanation.
29. What is the possible reason for people’s losing things
A. Their constant fear. B. Their common weakness.
C. Their absent-mindedness. D. Their emotional breakdown.
30. What should people with ADHD pay special attention to
A. Improved efficiency at work. B. Occasional delay in meeting friends.
C. Losing things repeatedly since teens. D. Behavioural changes from the past.
31. What is Professor Arely’s attitude to overcoming forgetfulness
A. Positive. B. Sceptical. C. Tolerant. D. Conservative.
D
For thousands of years, Chinese writers have travelled all over the country to take down notes about the geographical conditions of each city. Among them, well-known Chinese geographer and writer Li Daoyuan, in the Northern Wei Dynasty (386-534), composed his book, Commentary on the Water Classics, after studying the original literary version, Water Classics. He later expanded the river records to 1, 252 from the original 137.
The book is now being studied again by Professor Li Xiaojie and his team from Fudan University. They have been using drawing software and 3D modelling to recreate the waterway situations on a map based on the book description. So far, they have completed research on four rivers.
“Ancient people knew really well how to apply the power of nature to technical considerations,”Li said, giving the example of Qianjin’e, one of the most famous ancient water conservation projects in Luoyang, Henan. In order to lead the river into the city for irrigation (灌溉) in ancient Luoyang, the officials built a canal branch by separating a northwest-southeast river. However, the canal water wasn't enough to support the citizens in dry seasons. To solve that, on the northern side of the canal branch, the officials built a reservoir (水库) and a channel to lead the water to the canal branch, where the waterways would converge and flow together to the city.
In Commentary on the Water Classics, a total of 2, 800 cities are recorded with details. Still, the process of recreation takes much effort. After doing a lot of text analysis and fieldwork, the team has gradually created the model with 3D modelling software based on repeated deductions (推论).
For Professor Li, the book is not only a record of the natural landscape over 1, 000 years ago, but also a detailed description of humanity and culture and a treasure for today’s reference.
32. What can we learn about the book Commentary on the Water Classics
A. It has been out of date. B. It explains 3D modelling.
C. It keeps records of 137 rivers. D. It is based on previous studies.
33. What does the underlined word “converge” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Join. B. Pass. C. Cross. D. Begin.
34. What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us about model recreation
A. Its major problems. B. Its detailed analysis.
C. Its complex process. D. Its successful application.
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. 3D Technology Fuels Modern Research
B. Ancient Classics Inspire Modern Research
C. An Effective Approach to Model Recreation
D. A Famous Writer of Chinese Ancient Classics

What is the best place to visit in Canada from March to May We show you how and when to enjoy the typical Canadian travel adventures.
March: Traverse Ice Roads in the Arctic Circle
Where: Northwest Territories
On the edge of the Arctic Ocean in early March, the temperature in Inuvik remains below zero. Cars and trucks ease their way along the 185 km ice road to Tuktoyaktuk as it's known to locals. The treeline disappears as you head north, the blue ice solid beneath your wheels. The ice road is open from late December to late April. But. March is the best time for the trip because the road is still solid and the weather isn't as bad.
April: Surf Chilly Waters off Vancouver Island
Where: Vancouver Island, British Columbia
It might surprise you to learn that Tofino, British Columbia has been regarded as one of the best surf towns in North America. While this laid-back rainforest community on Vancouver Island's west coast doesn't boast（夸耀）the bronzed bodies of California's Huntington Beach, Tofino gets big and amazingly consistent waves. Water temperatures hold steady year-round at 10 degrees Celsius along 35 km of coastline. Surfing in April on spacious Long Beach or underrated Cox Bay lets you beat the high-season tourists.
May: See the Canadian Rockies
Where: Throughout Brish Columbia and Alberta
In mid-May, as the landscape of western Canada emerges from its wintry cover of snow, the world-renowned Rocky Mountaineer train begins operation for the season, running along captivating routes between Vancouver and the Canadian Rockies. It's one of the world's best journeys by rail, and the luxury train's glass-domed cars allow passengers to fully appreciate the mountains, lakes, and rivers scrolling by. The undisputed highlights: Banff, Jasper, and Lake Louise.
21. When can you explore the ice roads in the Arctic Circle
A. In May. B. In June. C In January. D. In August.
22. What is special about Tofino for surfers
A. Its bronzed bodies of beach. B. Its continuous and big waves.
C. The crowded tourists. D. The changeable water temperatures.
23. Which is the best transportation to travel around the Canadian Rockies

The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge(HZM Bridge)will connect Hong Kong on the east bank of the Pearl River Delta to Zhuhai and Macao on the west bank, based on the planning of the national highway network. It will provide a significant part of the Pearl River Delta regional transportation loop-being a key new highway transport corridor crossing the Lingdingyang and connecting the east and west banks of the Pearl River.
The Pearl River Delta is seen as a pioneering region for China's Reform and Opening-up Policy and an economic center of great importance. Taking advantage of the proximity（邻近）of Hong Kong and Macao, the Pearl River Delta plays a leading role and has a significant strategic status in China's Reform and Opening-up as well as its economic and social development. The development gap between the east and west coasts of the Pearl River has widened during the recent period of rapid development of the Pearl River Delta, with the economic development of the west coast evidently lagging behind that of the east coast. The lack of convenient transportation with Hong Kong is an important reason. Obstructed（阻隔）by the Pearl River, overland transport has to detour through the Humen Bridge, while the transportation by water takes a lot of time and it is vulnerable to weather conditions. The current transport infrastructure（设施））cannot meet the demands of the economic and social development and transportation between the east and west banks of the Pearl River.
To sum up, the construction of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge is both essential and urgent in order to coordinate, fully develop and interlink the national comprehensive Transportation expressway network with the networks of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao.
24. What does the underlined word "corridor" in paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Plan. B. Route. C. Policy. D. Construction.
25. According to paragraph 2, what makes the economic development of the west coast slower
A. The complex transportation of the Pearl River Delta.
B. Making use of the proximity of Hong Kong and Macao.
C. Being short of convenient transportation with Hong Kong.
D. Not performing the China's Reform and Opening-up Policy properly.
26. What is the limitation of the transportation by water
A. Il is not convenient to take.
B. It takes less passengers at a time.
C. It takes more money and more time.
D. It is time-consuming and dependent on weather.
27. What is the text mainly about
A. The importance of the Pearl River Delta.
B. The fancy design and the function of HZM Badge.
C. The development of Zhuhai, Hong Kong and Macao.
D. The significance and necessity of the construction of HZM Bridge.

Before Sydney's 2000 Olympic Games, Eric Moussambani had never set foot outside of his home country, the tiny nation of Equatorial Guinea where most citizens get by on less than one dollar a day.
Having secured his entry into the Games with the help of a wild card, Moussambani set about teaching himself to swim. He had no coach, no lanes, and no ways of tracking his efforts. The only pool available belonged to a local hotel, and they allowed him to use it between 5 and 6 am, just three times a week. Before Sydney he had never set eyes on an Olympic pool, let alone swum in one.
When the day came, the underdog captured the hearts of the Australian audience, and although he flagged in the second half of the race, with commentator Adrian Moorhouse remarking that "this guy doesn't look like he's going to make it", he completed the heat with a time of I minute 53 seconds.
It was the slowest time in Olympic history, but a personal best.
International media named him "Eric the Eel" and he was hailed（赞扬）as the embodiment of the Olympic ideal that it's not the winning, but the taking part that counts.
When he was interviewed, still dripping from his exhausting feat, Moussambani remarked, "The first 50 metres was OK, but in the second 50 metres I got a bit worried and thought I wasn't going to make it. Then something happened. I thought it was all the people getting behind me. I was really, really proud. It's still a great feeling for me and I loved when everyone applauded me at the end. I felt like I had won a medal or something. "
Moussambani is now the head coach of the Equatorial Guinea swimming squad and thanks to his efforts, the country has since built two 50m swimming pools.
28. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs about Moussambani
A. He had never been abroad before 2000.

C. He practised swimming 3 hours a day.
D. He was the best swimmer in Africa.
29. What's the international media's attitude towards Moussambani's performance

30. Why did Moussambani feel proud of himself
A. Because he won an Olympic medal.
B. Because he was praised by his family.
C. Because he did his best in the Olympic Games.
D. Because he was interviewed by a famous reporter.

Wherever we go, we are surrounded by history. Across the globe, cultural heritage is passed down through generations. We tend to think of our cultural heritage as somehow set in stone, permanent and indestructible. Yet we fight a never ending and very expensive battle to preserve it lor the future. And today, it is under attack as never before. Not only are the ravages（破坏）of time threatening our cultural heritage, but conflicts, harmful events, climate change, globalisation and tourism are all exacting a heavy price. Technology is often seen as something that destroys the past - but ironically, it is now the most essential weapon in the battle.
Airborne technology（机载技术）is being increasingly used in the fight to preserve our cultural heritage. Not only is it being used to save it, but it is also being used to find it. IIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) is a remote sensing technology which measures distances by hitting a target from above with a laser and analysing the reflected light. It generates hyper-accurate 3D data about the surface area it targets and the natural and man-made environments that exist there.
Virtual reality（VR）（虚拟现实）technology will play a leading role in preserving our cultural heritage in the coming years. Many of the most important sites and architecture are extremely fragile. Human interaction with these locations is doing a great deal of harm. Machu Picchu in Peru was only discovered in 1911. vet it is already being destroyed by the presence of hundreds of thousands of tourists who visit annually. As more cultural heritage sites and objects are digitally mapped and recorded, VR technology will increasingly become the way that people experience them. Well all eventually be able to walk through places, look at(and touch)artifacts and works of art without ever seeing them with our own eyes.
Ultimately, our cultural heritage will be preserved via technology. Efforts in research, innovation, data sharing and project work will need to be pooled internationally.
32. What can we infer about cultural heritage from paragraph 1
A. It will last forever.
B. It is faced with a huge threat today.
C. It is destroyed by modem technology.
D. It is a key factor in developing technology.
33. According to paragraph 2, what is the function of Airborne technology
A. To measure distances.
B. To generate accurate data.
C. To make the architecture fragile.
D. To save and discover cultural heritage.
34. What makes the distinction of the Machu Picchu
A. Too much tourism. B. Virtual reality.
C. Poor quality of construction. D. The climate change.
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. The Advantages of Modern Technology
B. How Technology Is Serving as a Weapon
C. How Cultural Heritage Is Affecting Our Life
H How Technology Is Preserving Our Cultural Heritage

Sophia Sullivan put in the call for a late dinner on February 11, and DoorDash driver Grace Furtado brought the order to an address in a small community.
When Grace got to the house around 10 p.m., she saw Sophia lying on the ground outside, bleeding from her head. Her eyes kept rolling to the back of her head. Sophia, who had a previous arm injury and a bad knee, recalled that she had been waiting outside for the delivery. As she turned, she fell and hit her head and lost consciousness.
Sophia’s husband Robert had been asleep inside the house, but awoke to Grace’s calls for help. Grace told him to get some supplies to stop the bleeding as she called 911.
Officer Jodoin was on duty that night and he asked Grace if it was possible for her to keep stabilizing Sophia’s neck to keep her spine (脊柱) safe. “I’m not going anywhere.” Grace answered at once. Soon after, officers and doctors began arriving. Grace stayed with her, until Sophia was transported to the hospital.
Sophia, who suffered from two severe brain bleeds, was in the hospital for three weeks following the incident. After that, she arrived home in March. Despite the frightening experience, Sophia and Grace gained friendship. “I am so thankful for her. She’s my guardian angel,” said Sophia, “If she wasn’t there, I’d be dead.”
Grace was awarded $1,000 at a ceremony. “We are grateful to Ms. Furtado for stepping in during a critical moment and are relieved that the customer has safely recovered.” A DoorDash spokesperson told the public, “Ms. Furtado’s care and quick response were nothing short of heroic and we are pleased to have been able to show our appreciation for her great efforts.”
The recognition came as a surprise to Grace. “I was not expecting it at all,” She said, “I would’ve done that for anyone.” She and Sophia have decided they will continue to stay in touch and plan to meet up again.

For his first few days at sea on the MS Porrima, Gunter Pauli was amazed by the silence aboard his solar-powered ship.
Using limited resources effectively is the central philosophy behind the Porrima, a concept boat centered on environmental research, which aims to show how sustainable (可持续的) technology could completely change the shipping industry.
Sea transport drives over 80% of global trade, but it has disastrous effects on the ocean and accounts for more CO2 emissions (排放) than air transport each year.
The ship is a case study in sustainability. A small farm in the boat allows Pauli to grow vegetables, while air bubble nets prevent overfishing by separating fish by weight and then releasing the reproductive females, which tend to be heavier due to their eggs. As well as being largely powered by solar panels, the ship will soon be equipped with a device that separates and concentrates nanoplastics (纳米塑料) from seawater and transforms them into fuel.
Pauli’s design is based on famous painter and theorist Michelangelo Pistoletto’s theory, which proposes a balanced combination of nature and technology. The 88-year-old Italian artist believes that the ship offers “the possibility” of making his concept a reality.
For Pauli, this sense of responsibility for the environment and communities was the driving force behind the project. “We have done too much analysis on environmental issues, and too much analysis on the problem often leads to inaction. I knew that whatever we’re doing is far from what is needed, and it’s also far from what is possible.”
The ship set sail from Osaka, Japan on December 18 in 2021, and is expected to make dozens of stops on five continents. It will complete a three-year voyage before returning to Japan in time for the 2025 World Expo.
14. What is the major task of the Porrima
A. Explore the nature of modern materials.
B. Put sustainable technology into practice.
C. Stress the importance of ocean protection.
D. Show the advantages of solar-powered ships.
15. What can be inferred about environmental protection from Pauli’s words
A. People lack awareness of it.
B. People have done nothing about it.
C. People should and can do more about it.
D. People should do more analysis about it.
16. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Gunter Pauli: An Ambitious Boat Designer
B. MS Porrima: Technology to Preserve Nature
C. Sea Transport: A Sustainable Form of Transport
D. Technology: An Inspiration for Designing Ships
C
The prefrontal cortex (PFC) is an important part of the brain. It is the center of your higher-order cognitive (认知的) processes — things like reasoning, self-control, and attention.
Children perform worse than adults on nearly all cognitive tasks because their PFC is undeveloped. Why, then, do most adults struggle to learn new languages while children pick them up with ease
To understand the apparent paradox, it’s important to know a bit about how language acquisition works. Learning depends partly on two separate memory systems: declarative and procedural. Declarative memory describes memorizing specific information like facts and events that can be stated. This is where adults excel. Thanks to developed PFCs, they’re able to concentrate and acquire facts relatively quickly. Procedural memory, sometimes referred to as muscle memory or body memory, describes acquiring skills and non-conscious knowledge, reactions, and habits — things like playing the piano or fearing insects. Brain areas involved in procedural learning develop early, so children match adults in this area.
It might seem that language learning is based in the declarative memory system, but growing evidence suggests that language learning depends largely on procedural memory. It should be made clear that much of language is built on patterns rather than accurate facts and rules. For example, English words never begin with the “ng” sound and particular words often group together. When acquiring language naturally, children pick up on these tendencies without even noticing. But when adults actively try to learn a new language, they tend to rely on their prefrontal cortex. Their declarative memory system kicks in as they focus on memorizing vocabulary and applying grammar, which usually results in poor learning.
This is not to say that learning vocabulary and rules is completely useless; focusing on specifics can be helpful, and it is where adults outperform children. However, evidence shows that learning can improve when the PFC “turns off” and allows procedural memory system to take lead. So instead of actively trying to focus and memorize, you’ll likely benefit more from allowing yourself to experience the language. You can watch TV shows, attend discussion groups, or listen to music in the language.
17. What does the underlined word “paradox” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Contradictory situation.
B. Classical theory.
C. Scientific viewpoint.
D. Cognitive process.
18. Which of the following mainly involves procedural memory
A. Learning grammar rules.
B. Classifying insects.
C. Playing a musical instrument.
D. Remembering a friend’s birthday.

B. Declarative memory may get in the way.
C. It’s useless to memorize vocabulary and rules.
D. Adults pay much attention to language patterns.
20. What is the author’s purpose of writing the text
A. To share tips for becoming successful learners.
B. To explain differences between adults and kids.
C. To introduce major concepts of memory system.

Camp memories last forever! We make sure they are unforgettable!
Shadow Ridge Summer Camps offer so many exciting things for campers to do. Unlike other camp programs that include horses as a small part of their program, at Shadow Ridge horses are the pro-gram! We are 100% horse from stable（马厩）management, nature walks, and track rides to bed-room furnishings.

Our riding program provides a lot of riding and lesson time. Campers will learn how to take care of the horse and the tack（马具）, as well as how to ride. Days are filled with horse-related activities to strengthen the connection between each girl and horse, as the girls learn to work safely around the horses.

We have "The Bunkhouse"(4 girls), "The Wranglers Roost"(4 girls), and "The Hideout"(2 girls)in our comfortable 177-year-old farm house. All meals are home cooked, offering delicious and healthy food for the hungry rider.

Would it surprise you to learn that the vast majority of adults—around 75 percent—tell up to two lies every day What this suggests then is that you've probably told a lie or two in the past 24 hours and chances are you've also been lied to.
Before you start protesting your innocence or confronting loved ones and colleagues, though, it's worth noting that the bulk of these lies fall into the "hardly worth mentioning" category. Think little white lies such as attempting to spare someone's feelings or gently twisting the facts to avoid looking-bad. People tell lies for a variety of reasons. Less than 12 percent of lies can be categorized as "big lies"— and these are usually the ones that really matter. An example of a big lie, according to the study's authors, would be saying "I love you" without being sincere.
So, are there any body language giveaways that can help "out" someone who's lying Back in 2015, University of Michigan researchers identified some common behaviors among liars, including frowning or grimacing（扮怪相）, looking directly at the questioner in a bid to appear trustworthy, and overcompensating by gesturing with both hands. A more recent study found that liars may unconsciously mimic the body language of those around them while their brains are otherwise engaged in telling lies. However, to establish a connection with a new person, that will make them eel that there is something about you that they like. It's also worth looking out for the "eye dart": when we glance to the left, we're attempting to recall facts and events; when we look to the right, we're thinking more creatively.
Vocal factors can offer a good clue, too. People who are being deliberately dishonest — or who lack certainty in what they're saying — tend to speak slower and place less emphasis on the middle of words. It's important to remember though that none of these pointers offer undeniable evidence that you're dealing with a liar. After all, some people just grimace（做鬼脸）more or speak slower than others.
22. Which of the following lies are NOT categorized as "hardly worth mentioning"
A. "I love your new haircut. "
B. "I am so into you. "(said coldly)
C. "Relax. It makes no difference to me. "
D. "My train was cancelled" instead of "I overslept and missed my train".
23. How does a liar's body language give away himself
A. He looks directly at the questioner to show his trust in him.
B. He keeps glancing to the left from time to time when he talks.
C. He unintentionally repeats the gesture made by the person he talks to.
D. He speaks slower and emphasizes the middle of the words less.
24. The underlined word "mimic" in the third paragraph means ______________.
A. affect B. ignore C. mirror D. mix
25. What's the best title for the text
A. How to deal with a liar. B. How to tell white lies or big lies.
C. The possible reasons of telling lies. D. How to tell if someone is lying to you.
