In conversation, body language is more important than you might think. Only 71% of our communication is expressed in words. How can we appear calm and confident?
First of all, try to keep still. The old belief that we make up our minds about someone within the first ten seconds of meeting them is untrue. It’s within one-tenth of a second! Therefore, when meeting someone for the first lime, try to avoid any small, repetitive (重复的) movements. Take slow, deep breaths and try to keep as still as possible. Your words hold more importance and you can get your ideas heard without unnecessary body language.21世纪教育网版权所有
Smile is a powerful gesture, even when you’re on your own. When others see you smile, a similar reaction takes place and they begin to feel happier and more relaxed. And it docs use fewer muscles (肌肉) to smile than to frown. Practice “smiseing” (smiling with your eyes) too, as this will help your big smile look more genuine. 【版权所有:21教育】
When we suffer from anxiety, our heart rate increases, our chest feels light and we can’t seem to catch our breath properly. In this ease, practice breathing rhythmically (有节奏地) and finally the rest of your boy will relax and you will immediately appear calmer.
You may have heard of the power pose--stand with your legs far apart with your hands on your hips (臀部). This might help you feel at ease, and you’ll appear calmer and more confident.
24. When you meet someone for the first time, you’d better .
A. avoid any body language B. keep as still as possible
C. repeat small movements D. speak out your ideas
25. Why are you advised to practice “smiseing”?

The whole building, with gardens and gateway structures, was completed in 1643. The Taj Mahal stands at one end of the garden tomb with marble (大理石) path. The room is softly lighted by the light that passes through double screens of carved marble set high in the walls. The building now is kept in good condition.
The Taj Mahal took 22 years to build. Shah Jehan planned a similar building, but in black instead of white, to lie on the other side of the river. But before it could be built, Shah Jehan was imprisoned (监禁) by his son and buried next to his wife in the Taj Mahal.

What docs English mean to you? Endless new words, difficult grammar or sometimes strange pronunciation? Have you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language?
In a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter. This is the area of the brain which processes information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles.
The study also found the effect is greater, the younger people learn a second language. A team led by Dr Andrea, from University College London, took a group of Britons who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals” who had learnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners.
Scans showed that grey matter density (密度) in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference.
“Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language,” said the scientists. It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn.
Professor Dylan of the University of Wales, has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills. “Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible (灵活的),” he said. “You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.”
The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between the ages of 2 and 34. Reading, writing, and comprehension were all tested. The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better. “Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world,” explained the scientists.
33. The main subject talked about in this passage is .
A. science on learning a second language B. man’s ability of learning a second language
C. language can help brain power D. language learning and maths study
34. In the second paragraph, the writer mentions “exercise” in order to .
A. say language is also a kind of physical labor
B. prove that one needs more practice when he (she) is learning a language
C. to show the importance of using the language when you learn the language
D. make people believe language learning helps grey matter work wellwww-2-1-cnjy-com
35. The underlined word “bilingual” probably means .
A. a researcher on language learning B. a person who is good at learning foreign languages
C. a person who can speak two languages D. an active language learner

Nowadays many people go abroad for further study. There are a lot of reasons. One is that you can have the chance to make yourself know about the culture of the place. Although we humans belong only to the same one species, we are divided into several races. 36 And when countries arc divided by oceans, naturally the way of life in that country differs from ours.
Once you are studying in a foreign country, you will slowly learn to speak the language of the place. 37 If you want to ask directions or if you want to ask for directions or if you are lost, it can be of great help. 38 If you study in such places as Spain and the Philippines, there are lots of foreign sights to see. Studying abroad will also give you the chance to experience a totally different curriculum (课程). 39 Studying abroad is also a memory that can be valued for a lifetime. 40 Once you have made friends with your classmates. I’m pretty sure you will enjoy being with them in your hang-outs, in your parties, even in helping out with each other’ homework.
A. This is an opportunity to make friends from other races.
B. There are Africans, Europeans, Asians and etc.
C. Different countries have different cultures.

If you don’t use your arms or your legs, they become weak; when you start using them again, they 61 (slow) become strong again. Everyone knows that. Yet many people don’t seem to know that memory works in 62 same way. When someone says that he has a good memory, he really 63 (mean) that he keeps his memory in practice by using 64 . When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance 65 (become) strong. If a friend says that his arms and legs arc weak, we know that it is his own fault. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents arc 66 (blame), and few of us know that it is just his own fault. Have you ever found that some people can’t read or write but usually they have 67 (good) memories? This is 68 they can’t read or write and they have to remember days, names, songs and stories, so their memory is the whole time 69 (exercise). So if you want to have a good memory, learn from them. Practice 70 (remember) things in a way as these people do.
