She is now a 76-year-old grandmother, but time has done nothing to diminish her energy. She is on the road 300 days a year, lecturing to audiences and collecting material for her books.When asked,“Can you sum up what you have learned from 50 years of living among the wild chimpanzees?” Goodall replied,“Of course. We humans are unique, but we're not as different as we used to think. Between chimps and humans, there is only about a 1 percent difference in DNA. Our biggest difference is our spoken language, which has enabled us to develop culturally in ways that chimpanzees have not... Some people therefore say that violence and war are inevitable (不可避免的). I say rubbish. Our brains are fully capable of controlling this type of instinctive (本能的) behavior. And most of the time we do.”Read the passage and tell the following statements true (T) or false (F).
1.Jane Goodall has been researching the chimps for 50 years.( )
2.Now she has to stop working on the chimps because of old age.( )

Mr. Bean
You must have seen this man somewhere—funny-looking, always in a jacket and a red tie. He seldom talks but always acts humorously. Who is he? Yes, he is the well-known Mr. Bean.You must have seen this man somewhere—funny-looking, always in a jacket and a red tie. He seldom talks but always acts humorously. Who is he? Yes, he is the well-known Mr. Bean.
Mr. Bean is the main character in the British comedy television series of the same name. It was written by Rowan Atkinson, Robin Driscoll, Richard Curtis and Ben Elton. The first episode(幕,插曲) was shown on 1st January 1990 and its final episode Good night, Mr. Bean was shown on 31st October 1995. During its five-year run, the series gained a large audience in the UK and throughout the world. People are most amused by the antics(古怪滑稽的动作) of Mr. Bean—a child in a grown man's body.Mr. Bean often seems short of worldly(善于处事的) experience. The program usually features his attempts to complete what would normally be considered simple tasks, such as going swimming or taking an exam. But he is quite not clever in dealing with the problems presented to him each time, such as not knowing a single answer in an exam, changing into his swimsuit at the beach without removing his pants first, and so on. The humour largely comes from his original solutions to any problem and his total disregard for others when solving them.
The role of Mr. Bean is played by Rowan Atkinson—an Oxford University graduate. Atkinson is considered to be a great comedian in the style of Charlie Chaplin. In all of his shows, he successfully portrays a typically conservative(保守的) man from the British middle class. People are very impressed by his humour.
If you enjoy Mr. Bean, please enjoy his shows. —Mr. Bean!判断正误(T/F)。

我们知道,肢体语言是一种无声的语言,通过一个人的手势、肢体动作、面部表情我们可以了解到他的思想活动、情绪变化等。那么,在面试的时候,什么样的肢体语言才能帮助我们获得求职的成功呢?现在就让我们来了解一下人的“肢体密码”吧。Everyone uses body language during an interview (whether they realize it or not), but very few think about it ahead of time to produce the most positive effect. The following are some typical interpretations(阐明) of body language cues(提示,信号).
Openness and warmth—open-lipped(嘴唇) smiling, opening hands, etc.
Confidence—Leaning forward in the chair, hands joined behind back when standing.Nervousness—smoking, whistling, running tongue along front of teeth, clearing throat, hands touching the face or covering part of the face, pulling at skin or ear, running fingers through hair, biting on pens or other objects, etc.
Untrustworthiness(不可信赖)—frowning(皱眉),squinting(斜视) eyes, arms crossed in front of chest, touching nose or face, looking down when speaking, clenched(握紧的) hands, gestures with fist, pointing with fingers, rubbing back of neck, clasping(握紧) hands behind head while leaning back in the chair.As you can see, there are far more negatives(负面的) than positives—possibly more than we are aware of. This list is given not so that you can use the positive body language techniques, but more to help you recognize and avoid the negatives. If you have a habit of doing any of the above negatives, remove that action from your pattern of behaviour before it sends the wrong signal. Try to get rid of it now so you will not have to think about it during an interview. 1.What is the purpose of the passage?(no more than 15 words)
