Much meaning can be conveyed, clearly, with our eyes, so it is often said that eyes can speak.
Do you have such kind of experience In a bus you may look at a stranger, but not too long. And if he is sensing that he is being stared at, he may feel uncomfortable.
The same is true in daily life. If you are looked 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 towards others, staring at you that way. Eyes do speak, 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 glances at a woman for more than 10 seconds and refuses to move his gaze, his intentions are obvious, that is, he wishes to attract her attention, to make her understand that he is admiring her.
However, the normal eye contact for two people engaged in a 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, and to tell him that he is attentive.
If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking, as if he tries to dominate you. you will feel uncomfortable. A poor liar usually exposes himself by looking too long at the victim, since he believes in the false idea that to look straight in the eye is a sign of honest communication. Quite the contrary.
In fact, continuous eye contact is confined to lovers only, who will enjoy looking at each other tenderly for a long time, to show affection that words cannot express.
Evidently, eye contact should be done according to the relationship between two people and the specific situation.
1.Which of the following behaviour is proper according to the passage
A.To the opposite sex, stare at him or her.
B.To a stranger, avoid looking at him or her.
C.In a conversation, look at the listener all the time.
D.Make eye contact depending on the relationship and different situations.
2.If two persons exchange eye contact gently for a long time, what is probably their relationship
A. Boss and employee. B. Lovers.
C. Teacher and student. D. Strangers.
3.What's the best title of the passage
A. Don't Stare at Others
B. Body language Is Important
C. Eyes Can Speak
D. Eye Contact Benefits You
C
How many different emotions do you think you can communicate to people with your face Do you have the same facial expressions as the people from different cultures Read this passage to find out what scientists have just discovered about this topic.
New research suggests that there are only four basic facial expressions of emotion. However, how these expressions are interpreted(解释) might depend on where you are from. Research by scientists from the Institute of Neuroscience and Psychology at the University of Glasgow has challenged the traditional view of how the face expresses emotions. It was widely believed that six basic emotions (happiness, sadness, fear, anger, surprise and disgust) were expressed and recognized across different cultures. However, the University of Glasgow's work now suggests that the human face only has four basic expressions of emotion. This is because some pairs of emotions are impossible to distinguish(辨别). Fear and surprise, for example, both share wide open eyes. The facial expressions for anger and disgust also look the same.
So if our faces are only able to express four basic emotions, how do we communicate a much more complex(复杂的) kind of feeling The study found that the way expressions are interpreted is different in different cultures. However, while looking at how people from the East and West look at different parts of the face during facial expression recognition, scientists found that although there are some common features across cultures, the six basic facial expressions of emotion are not recognized universally.
What interests people about the cross-cultural aspect of the research This work leads to understanding which emotions we share and appreciating our differences.
1.What did the University of Glasgow find
A.Six basic emotions greatly influence our character.
B.Six basic emotions can be recognized.
C.It is easy to tell from the basic facial expressions.
D.Some of the six facial expressions are similar.
2.Which group may be the four basic facial expressions of emotion
A.Sadness, fear, anger and surprise. B.Anger, sadness, fear and happiness.
C.Happiness, surprise, sadness and fear. D.Disgust, happiness, anger and sadness.
3.What can we learn according to Paragraph 3
A.Basic facial expressions are not universal.
B.Facial expressions can't show complex feelings.
C.Western people have more kinds of facial expressions.
D.The way to express emotions changes with time.
4.Which is the proper title for the passage
A.What Does Your Face Say B.How Do We Communicate
C.What Are the Six Basic Emotions D.Do We Have the Same Expressions
D
I went to a New York Mets fantasy camp in 1995, an incredible experience. I was fortunate to be on a team whose pitching coach was Mel Stottlemyre, the former Yankees star pitcher (投手)and Mets and Yankees coach. I was upset when Mel died of cancer on Jan. 13, 2018, at the age of 77.
He was warm, friendly and treated us as if we were major leagues. He asked me whether I would like to pitch and showed me how to throw a "two-seamer", a fastball that tends to sink, as well as a straight four-seam fastball. I knew that pitching was not for me. At age 45, my experience in organizing baseball was limited to a couple of years in Little League in the Bronx, and softball games as an adult. Mel eventually left the Mets and became the pitching coach for the Yankees. I followed his career and knew about his diagnosis (诊断)of multiple myeloma, a blood cancer, in April 2000, and a stem cell transplant.
In the summer of 2002, I was diagnosed as multiple myeloma and was told that I needed a stem-cell transplant by the same group of doctors at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center that had treated Mel.
This shocked me, and frankly, I became quite depressed. I vowed that somehow I would try to speak to Mel. One day, my phone rang. Mel was calling from the Yankees' locker room. I asked him to tell me everything about his treatment. He spent 30 minutes generously explaining all the details. I hung on every word. He told me how well he was feeling and ended the conversation by giving me his home phone number! "I feel great, and I'm not retiring," he told me.
This incredible experience lifted my spirits. Every time I saw Mel during games on TV as I awaited my transplant, I repeated to myself, "Look at Mel. If he can do it, so can I."
1.Why did the author say he was lucky in Paragraph 1
A.He joined a famous team. B.He met an unusual coach.
C.He was successfully cured. D.He was chosen as a pitcher.
2.What do we know about the author
A.He was not skilled in pitching. B.He was a good baseball player.
C.He called Mel for his treatment. D.He forgot what Mel had told him.
3.How old was Mel when he was diagnosed as multiple myeloma
A.23. B.45. C.59. D.61.
4.What would be a suitable title for the text
A.The Skills Taught by My Former Coach B.The Transplant Given by the Same Doctors
C.My Baseball Team Helping Me Out D.My Coach's Spirits Shining on Me

With time going by, Mother's Day was around the corner. Maybe it is the happiest day for every mother. Bruce, a boy of nine years old, with his little sister Alina, six years old, wanted to buy their mother carnations (康乃馨). But they were too young to get a job, even if a part-time one. What could they do There was only one week left. They felt sad whenever they thought their mother would spend her Mother's Day without carnations.
Money is hard to make. Buying a bunch of carnations would cost a large sum of money for them. One day when they were wandering at the street, they heard Mr. Green was complaining that he had no time to wash those soda pop bottles. It is a kind of soda pop sold in bottles and the bottles can be washed and filled again. Mr. Green ran that grocery shop by himself, so he had no time to wash them. "Would you like to try, Alina " Bruce asked her sister suddenly. Alina nodded her head without hesitation. After all, both of them knew that maybe it was an opportunity for them to make money for the flowers.
They walked a few steps and came near Mr. Green. They looked up at Mr. Green and asked whether they could help him to wash those bottles. Mr. Green looked at them curiously until he was told the reason. He agreed and promised that he would pay 0.1 dollar for every bottle. Bruce and Alina were very happy even though they knew they would have a busy week.
They came to Mr. Green's shop in the next seven days when they came back from school. On the morning of Mother's Day, they got the pay—6.1 dollars. The boy also had 0.3 dollar saved.
So with a total of 6.4 dollars they walked about a mile to where a flower shop was located. When they came inside, someone asked what they wanted. They told him they wanted to buy some carnations for their mother. The boy reached into his pocket and pulled out their cash, asking if that would be enough.
Paragraph 1 :
" But your money is not enough! " said the shop assistant._________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2 :
" Wait a moment, please! " another gentleman waved to them.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

答案：
Dear Robert,
In China, we wave our hands to say "hello" or "goodbye". We usually greet our guests by shaking hands with them. Some people may nod and smile instead of shaking hands. When you are introduced to a Chinese group, they may greet you by clapping their hands.
Like in many countries, we nod our heads to say "yes" and shake our heads to say "no". People will hold their thumbs up to praise a person, if he does something great. Sometimes, we bow to show great respect and thanks to others.
I hope these information will be helpful to you.
Yours,
Li Hua

Much meaning can be conveyed, clearly, with our eyes, so it is often said that eyes can speak.
Do you have such kind of experience In a bus you may look at a stranger, but not too long. And if he is sensing that he is being stared at, he may feel uncomfortable.
The same is true in daily life. If you are looked 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 towards others, staring at you that way. Eyes do speak, 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 glances at a woman for more than 10 seconds and refuses to move his gaze, his intentions are obvious, that is, he wishes to attract her attention, to make her understand that he is admiring her.
However, the normal eye contact for two people engaged in a 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, and to tell him that he is attentive.
If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking, as if he tries to dominate you. you will feel uncomfortable. A poor liar usually exposes himself by looking too long at the victim, since he believes in the false idea that to look straight in the eye is a sign of honest communication. Quite the contrary.
In fact, continuous eye contact is confined to lovers only, who will enjoy looking at each other tenderly for a long time, to show affection that words cannot express.
Evidently, eye contact should be done according to the relationship between two people and the specific situation.
1.Which of the following behaviour is proper according to the passage
A.To the opposite sex, stare at him or her.
B.To a stranger, avoid looking at him or her.
C.In a conversation, look at the listener all the time.
D.Make eye contact depending on the relationship and different situations.
2.If two persons exchange eye contact gently for a long time, what is probably their relationship
A. Boss and employee. B. Lovers.
C. Teacher and student. D. Strangers.
3.What's the best title of the passage
A. Don't Stare at Others
B. Body language Is Important
C. Eyes Can Speak
D. Eye Contact Benefits You

How many different emotions do you think you can communicate to people with your face Do you have the same facial expressions as the people from different cultures Read this passage to find out what scientists have just discovered about this topic.
New research suggests that there are only four basic facial expressions of emotion. However, how these expressions are interpreted(解释) might depend on where you are from. Research by scientists from the Institute of Neuroscience and Psychology at the University of Glasgow has challenged the traditional view of how the face expresses emotions. It was widely believed that six basic emotions (happiness, sadness, fear, anger, surprise and disgust) were expressed and recognized across different cultures. However, the University of Glasgow's work now suggests that the human face only has four basic expressions of emotion. This is because some pairs of emotions are impossible to distinguish(辨别). Fear and surprise, for example, both share wide open eyes. The facial expressions for anger and disgust also look the same.
So if our faces are only able to express four basic emotions, how do we communicate a much more complex(复杂的) kind of feeling The study found that the way expressions are interpreted is different in different cultures. However, while looking at how people from the East and West look at different parts of the face during facial expression recognition, scientists found that although there are some common features across cultures, the six basic facial expressions of emotion are not recognized universally.
What interests people about the cross-cultural aspect of the research This work leads to understanding which emotions we share and appreciating our differences.
1.What did the University of Glasgow find
A.Six basic emotions greatly influence our character.
B.Six basic emotions can be recognized.
C.It is easy to tell from the basic facial expressions.
D.Some of the six facial expressions are similar.
2.Which group may be the four basic facial expressions of emotion
A.Sadness, fear, anger and surprise. B.Anger, sadness, fear and happiness.
C.Happiness, surprise, sadness and fear. D.Disgust, happiness, anger and sadness.
3.What can we learn according to Paragraph 3
A.Basic facial expressions are not universal.
B.Facial expressions can't show complex feelings.
C.Western people have more kinds of facial expressions.
D.The way to express emotions changes with time.
4.Which is the proper title for the passage
A.What Does Your Face Say B.How Do We Communicate
C.What Are the Six Basic Emotions D.Do We Have the Same Expressions
D
I went to a New York Mets fantasy camp in 1995, an incredible experience. I was fortunate to be on a team whose pitching coach was Mel Stottlemyre, the former Yankees star pitcher (投手)and Mets and Yankees coach. I was upset when Mel died of cancer on Jan. 13, 2018, at the age of 77.
He was warm, friendly and treated us as if we were major leagues. He asked me whether I would like to pitch and showed me how to throw a "two-seamer", a fastball that tends to sink, as well as a straight four-seam fastball. I knew that pitching was not for me. At age 45, my experience in organizing baseball was limited to a couple of years in Little League in the Bronx, and softball games as an adult. Mel eventually left the Mets and became the pitching coach for the Yankees. I followed his career and knew about his diagnosis (诊断)of multiple myeloma, a blood cancer, in April 2000, and a stem cell transplant.
In the summer of 2002, I was diagnosed as multiple myeloma and was told that I needed a stem-cell transplant by the same group of doctors at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center that had treated Mel.
This shocked me, and frankly, I became quite depressed. I vowed that somehow I would try to speak to Mel. One day, my phone rang. Mel was calling from the Yankees' locker room. I asked him to tell me everything about his treatment. He spent 30 minutes generously explaining all the details. I hung on every word. He told me how well he was feeling and ended the conversation by giving me his home phone number! "I feel great, and I'm not retiring," he told me.
This incredible experience lifted my spirits. Every time I saw Mel during games on TV as I awaited my transplant, I repeated to myself, "Look at Mel. If he can do it, so can I."
1.Why did the author say he was lucky in Paragraph 1
A.He joined a famous team. B.He met an unusual coach.
C.He was successfully cured. D.He was chosen as a pitcher.
2.What do we know about the author
A.He was not skilled in pitching. B.He was a good baseball player.
C.He called Mel for his treatment. D.He forgot what Mel had told him.
3.How old was Mel when he was diagnosed as multiple myeloma
A.23. B.45. C.59. D.61.
4.What would be a suitable title for the text
A.The Skills Taught by My Former Coach B.The Transplant Given by the Same Doctors
C.My Baseball Team Helping Me Out D.My Coach's Spirits Shining on Me

With time going by, Mother's Day was around the corner. Maybe it is the happiest day for every mother. Bruce, a boy of nine years old, with his little sister Alina, six years old, wanted to buy their mother carnations (康乃馨). But they were too young to get a job, even if a part-time one. What could they do There was only one week left. They felt sad whenever they thought their mother would spend her Mother's Day without carnations.
Money is hard to make. Buying a bunch of carnations would cost a large sum of money for them. One day when they were wandering at the street, they heard Mr. Green was complaining that he had no time to wash those soda pop bottles. It is a kind of soda pop sold in bottles and the bottles can be washed and filled again. Mr. Green ran that grocery shop by himself, so he had no time to wash them. "Would you like to try, Alina " Bruce asked her sister suddenly. Alina nodded her head without hesitation. After all, both of them knew that maybe it was an opportunity for them to make money for the flowers.
They walked a few steps and came near Mr. Green. They looked up at Mr. Green and asked whether they could help him to wash those bottles. Mr. Green looked at them curiously until he was told the reason. He agreed and promised that he would pay 0.1 dollar for every bottle. Bruce and Alina were very happy even though they knew they would have a busy week.
They came to Mr. Green's shop in the next seven days when they came back from school. On the morning of Mother's Day, they got the pay—6.1 dollars. The boy also had 0.3 dollar saved.
So with a total of 6.4 dollars they walked about a mile to where a flower shop was located. When they came inside, someone asked what they wanted. They told him they wanted to buy some carnations for their mother. The boy reached into his pocket and pulled out their cash, asking if that would be enough.
Paragraph 1 :
" But your money is not enough! " said the shop assistant._________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2 :
" Wait a moment, please! " another gentleman waved to them.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

答案：
Dear Robert,
In China, we wave our hands to say "hello" or "goodbye". We usually greet our guests by shaking hands with them. Some people may nod and smile instead of shaking hands. When you are introduced to a Chinese group, they may greet you by clapping their hands.
Like in many countries, we nod our heads to say "yes" and shake our heads to say "no". People will hold their thumbs up to praise a person, if he does something great. Sometimes, we bow to show great respect and thanks to others.
I hope these information will be helpful to you.
Yours,
Li Hua
