A simple gesture can be formed into a child's memory so quickly that it will cause the child to give a false answer to a question accompanied by that gesture.A new finding suggests that parents, social workers, psychologists and lawyers should be careful with their hands as well as their words.
Gestures can be as informative as speech, but hand gestures are so common that we rarely notice when we're using them.
“While the recollection (回忆) of both adults and children is easy to react to suggestion, the memories of children are known to be particularly influenced，” said lead researcher Sara Broaders of Northwestern University. Kids are used to looking to adults to tell events for them and can be misled even if not intentionally.
Previous research, for example, has shown that detailed questions often cause false answers; when asked, say, “Did you drink juice at the picnic？” the child is likely to say “yes” even if no juice had been available.It's not that the child is lying on purpose.Rather, the detail is quickly formed into his or her memory.
To avoid this problem, social workers have long been advised to ask children only open ended questions, such as “What did you have at the picnic？” But an open ended question paired with a gesture, briefly meaning a juice box, is treated like a detailed question.That is, children become likely to answer falsely.
And it isn't just a few kids: 77% of children gave at least one piece of false information when a detail was suggested by an ordinary gesture.Gestures may also become more popular when talking with non fluent language users, such as little kids, Broaders said, as hand movements can impart meaning of unfamiliar words and phrases. “It certainly seems reasonable that adults would gesture more with children.”
In general, Broaders advises parents and other adults to “try to be aware of your hands when questioning a child about an event.Otherwise, you might be getting answers that don't reflect what actually happened.”
Questions：
1．According to the text, gestures ________.( )
A．don't have any function at all
B．are rarely used by people
C．have certain effect on children
D．are often used by social workers
2．Why are kids easy to be misled by gestures according to Sara Broaders？( )
A．These gestures are very attractive.
B．Their memories are affected easily.
C．Children are easy to tell lies.
D．These gestures are used frequently.
3．The underlined word “impart” in paragraph 6 means “____________”．
4．What would be the best title for the text

阅读下面短文，根据短文后的问题续写文章。
Grace and I were once college roommates and our initial encounter was anything but friendly. As a sociable and enthusiastic individual, I struggled to connect with Grace, who was reserved and shy. Our contrasting personalities posed challenges for both of us. Grace enjoyed early mornings at the library, absorbed in reading, whereas I cherished my sleep ins. The noise arising from her morning rituals, spanning from her morning hygiene routine to room organization, annoyed me considerably. Following our study sessions, Grace willingly maintained order in our shared living space, unlike me, whose desk remained in constant disorder.
One morning, I was unexpectedly awakened by a loud crash, only to discover that Grace had accidentally broken my favorite cup. Imagining all the disagreements, I was getting mad. I lost my temper and yelled a bunch of angry words at her without thinking. “What on earth, Grace! That was my favorite cup！” “I'm so sorry! I'll clean it up.” “Clean it up You've got to be kidding me！” After my outburst, Grace's eyes welled up with tears. Silently, she began to clean up the broken pieces before leaving the room with her bag.
That night, as the bell signaling the end of study hours rang, I returned to the room only to find it empty. The roommate, who usually hangs around the room, was nowhere to be seen. It felt a little strange like something wasn't right. I thought maybe she was still upset about our argument in the morning. I started worrying. Did what I said hurt her feelings Is she avoiding me now I kept thinking about our argument. It was then that I noticed the cleanliness Grace had left behind — a dorm so clean you could eat off the floor. I was filled with regret as I became aware of the consequences of my morning outburst. I didn't want to ruin our friendship. Feeling bad and wanting to fix things, I decided to go to find her. I was about to walk towards the door when it suddenly opened.

W: We've not been that close for a while.

M: It can't be that bad. She was always a really good friend to you. She's probably just excited about her new job. You should give her some time.

Looking and Speaking
A great deal of communication is performed on a person to person basis by the simple means of speech. For example, if we travel in buses, buy things in shops, or eat in restaurants, we are likely to have conversations where we give information or opinions, receive news or comments, and very likely have our views challenged by other members of society.

Paragraph 1：
Grace walked in slowly, with her backpack. There seemed to be something important in it, for she placed it carefully on the table. She went back to her bed and stared at the wall. I wanted to apologize to her, but I felt embarrassed. When I was struggling with myself, Grace left her bed. She took a box out of her backpack, and quickly handed it to me. After saying sorry, she went back to her bed.
Paragraph 2：
With care, I opened the beautifully wrapped box. Inside was a limited edition cup, and I was suddenly overwhelmed with guilt. I looked up at Grace and saw that she was also looking cautiously at me. I went over and sat down next to her and said, “I'm sorry. I shouldn't have been angry with you.” Grace smiled at me and said, “No, I don't blame you for thinking that way.” The two of us were delighted and became best friends through this little episode.(共59张PPT)
