Eric has rowed (划 船 ) across the Pacific Ocean in a rowboat since he left California in
November last year. He has been heading for Australia with only birds, fish, and sharks ever since.
Crossing the Pacific (太平洋) is only part of the journey. Eric has decided to go all the way
around the world using his own energy. He will row, bike, walk and climb the world without help
from any motors at all. His plan includes climbing the tallest top on six of the continents (大陆)
along the way.
Why would he try to go around the world this way He explains that he wants to encourage
kids to realize their dreams and to get their own goals. He wants to show kids that there might be
hard parts along the way, and sometimes they might not even get that final goal. But they can have
great adventures (冒险) and learn a lot along the way.
Eric has already faced some difficulties. For example, winds and waves keep pushing him
westward when he wants to go south towards the Solomon Islands. If his luck doesn’t change, he
will cheerfully change his plan, and aim to land at Papua New Guinea. In one way or another, he’s
sure he’ll get to his next goal: Australia.
When his trip around the world takes him across land, he enjoys meeting people—especially
children. He has already visited many schools and shared his story. Eric encourages all kids to set
their eyes on a goal and not give up. He says, “With goals, we will make progress, and we will be
farther along than when we started, even if we don’t get some goals. That’s called life!”

Watch a TV show with the sound turned off. Are you able to tell what the actors and actresses
are saying or how they are feeling Most of us have tried something like this sometimes in our life.
And we’ve probably been able to figure out what’s going on. This skill of “reading” that people
without using words is called nonverbal communication (非言语交流). Here are some of them.
As a matter of fact, using facial expressions is a common way of communication. In other
words, people from all kinds of backgrounds are able to know your feelings quite well through
your facial expressions. However, is it true for body language
Take gestures (手势) as an example. Some of the same gestures have very different meanings
in different cultures. For example, the “OK” gesture means “good” in most cultures. If you show
this sign to a man in Türkiye, however, he will think you are treating him rudely. You may get
yourself in trouble.
Another important part of body language is touch. In some cultures, people pat (拍) their
friends on the back as a way to praise them, but in other cultures, this behavior can be impolite.
Besides, shaking hands is a common way of greeting in Western cultures. In India, however, it is
impolite to shake hands with the elderly. Instead, the best way to greet them is to touch their feet.
Generally speaking, our body language depends a lot on our culture. So, the next time you decide
to travel to another country, a quick search online can guide you how to behave properly.
( )1．What kinds of nonverbal communication are mentioned in the text
①Facial expressions. ②Gestures. ③Touch. ④Writing.
A．①②③ B．①②④ C．②③④ D．①③④
( )2．What is the easiest way to understand nonverbal communication
A．Gestures. B．Eye contact. C．Body language. D．Facial expressions.
( )3．When you show an “OK” gesture to a man in Türkiye, he may think you are ________.
A．wise B．stupid C．rude D．strange
( )4．What is the best way to greet an elderly man in India
A.Kissing his face. B．Shaking his hands.
C．Giving him a bow. D．Touching his feet.
( )5．In which section of a magazine can we read the text
A．Health and sport. B．History and culture.
C．Science and technology. D．Population and environment.
D
When learning English, some students may find it difficult to improve their listening. Here
are some tips. 1 .
Relax yourself
2 . You need to relax. This will help you with your listening.
Listen carefully to the first sentence
The first sentence tells a lot about the whole passage. For example, if, at the beginning, you hear
“Many shops in many parts of China have decided to take away all kinds of Japanese goods off
their shelves, but some people say it’s not a good idea. Our reporter say...” 3 .
Think when you’re listening
4 . For example, you can think of the following questions: What happened When, where
and how What was the result and what did the speaker want to tell us In this way, you may
understand the passage better.
5

At an early time, a paper ticket was necessary even for passengers who bought tickets online.
But now people are saying goodbye to paper tickets.
Passengers can swipe (刷) an ID card to pass through a gate before taking a high speed train.
“It’s very convenient and fast,” said Wu Yuanzhen, a passenger from Guangxi. “I am a
businessman and travel a lot by train. For us, time is money. E-tickets save time and improve
travel efficiency (效率).”
For passengers who need to change or return their tickets, they can change the tickets or get
their fund (退款) through or the ticket office at the station.
Since 2011, passengers have been able to swipe their ID cards at self-service machines to
take the Beijing Tianjin high speed railway and Beijing Shanghai high speed railway. And now
checking in by swiping an ID card is available at highspeed railway stations in most cities across
China. At stations in some remote (偏远) areas, passengers still need a paper ticket to get on a
train.

With the development of modern science and technology,robots have entered our life,which
brings great convenience to us. Household robots which look modern and fashionable are very
popular with people,and they are now widely used in our daily life.
Household robots have many functions. Firstly, they can be used to cook and clean rooms.
Secondly, they can help to take care of the elderly. Moreover, they can even make calls to deal
with something dangerous. However,the technology used in household robots is not developed
well enough to solve all problems.And they are so expensive. Sometimes, they may catch viruses
and cause safety problems.
In my opinion,robots should be widely used to improve people's life.Scientists should make
robots much more perfect by developing the technology.
