A
Sunday,
31
August
We’ve
been
in
China
for
a
month
now.
Dad,
Mom,
Harry
and
I
moved
to
Tianjin
on
25
August.
We’re
not
very
far
from
Beijing.
Two
days
ago,
we
celebrated
my
16th
birthday.
It
was
great
celebrating
in
China;
the
only
thing
that
was
strange
was
the
cake—here
they’re
not
as
sweet
as
the
ones
in
New
York.
On
Monday
school
starts—I
wonder
what
it
will
be
like.
Monday,
1
September
On
my
first
day
I
was
looking
around
for
a
locker
to
put
my
books
in.
However,
here
all
the
students
keep
all
of
their
books
at
their
desks.
We
stay
in
the
same
classroom
because
apparently
we
don’t
have
to
go
from
class
to
class—teachers
come
to
us!
Today
we
selected
teacher
assistants
for
each
subject.
Their
duties
are
to
collect
homework,
make
announcements,
and
do
other
things
for
the
teachers
and
the
students.
It’s
kind
of
a
big
deal
here!
Since
I
am
from
the
US,
I
was
asked
to
be
the
English
assistant.
I
felt
so
proud
but
quite
nervous
at
the
same
time
because
I
wasn’t
sure
what
I
had
to
do,
but
I
accepted
the
job
anyway.
Friday,
3
October
Boy,
what
a
week!
Now
we
have
nine
classes
every
day,
including
the
morning
class,
a
combination
of
our
American
schools
“Homeroom”
and
“Study
Hall”.
I
think
Chinese
students
work
too
much!
I
have
to
do
my
homework
when
I
get
back
home.
I
don’t
even
have
time
to
watch
TV
or
surf
the
Internet
like
before.
I
sometimes
miss
New
York
and
my
school
because
we
didn’t
have
to
study
so
much.
We
had
more
time
to
hang
out
with
our
classmates
and
neighbors;
here,
besides
their
usual
classes,
students
take
part
in
weekend
classes
in
subjects
such
as
English,
Chinese
and
math.
I
get
a
lot
of
attention,
being
from
another
country.
Everyone
wants
to
practice
English
with
me!
A
really
cute
girl
even
asked
me
for
my
phone
number
on
my
second
day
and
sent
me
a
text
message!
I’m
making
a
lot
more
friends
now.
I
just
need
a
lot
of
help
to
improve
my
Chinese.
Some
students
want
to
do
a
language
exchange
program
with
me.
Nice!

If
you
enjoy
reading
don’t
miss
Shakespeare
and
Company
when
you
visit
the
city
of
Paris.
It
is
a
famous
English-language
bookstore
on
the
left
bank
of
the
river
Seine.
The
first
Shakespeare
and
Company
in
history
was
opened
in
1919
by
an
American,
Sylvia
Beach.
Ms.
Beach
did
more
than
sell
books.
Her
bookstore
was
also
a
library,
and
she
even
prepared
beds
for
writers
visiting
there.
Ms.
Beach
was
not
only
kind
to
people
but
also
good
at
choosing
books,
so
her
bookstore
was
often
visited
by
writers
like
Ernest
Hemingway
and
James
Joyce.
But
in
1941,
after
the
Germans
took
power
in
Paris,
Ms.
Beach
was
told
to
close
her
bookstore.
In
1951,
another
American,
George
Whitman,
opened
in
Paris
another
English-language
bookstore,
Librairie
Mistral.
Since
then,
just
as
Ms.
Beach
did,
Mr
Whitman
has
also
made
his
bookstore
a
library
for
people
to
borrow
books,
and
a
free
hotel
for
writers
to
stay
in.
To
remember
Ms.
Beach,
Mr
Whitman
changed
the
name
of
his
bookstore
to
Shakespeare
and
Company
in
1964,
two
years
after
Ms.
Beach
died.
Next
time
when
you
are
in
Paris,
don’t
forget
to
visit
this
friendly
bookstore,
and
see
if
you
can
spend
a
night
there!

and
Company

Beach’s

Whenever
we
see
a
button,
we
are
eager
to
press
it
because
we
know
something
will
happen.
This
is
true
in
most
cases,
for
example
on
a
doorbell
and
on
the
“on/off”
button
on
the
TV.
But
some
buttons
are
actually
fake
(假的),
like
the
“close”
button
on
a
lift.
Many
people
are
in
the
habit
of
pressing
the
“close”
button
because
they
don’t
have
the
patience
to
wait
for
the
lift
doors
to
shut.
But
lifts
“close”
buttons
are
a
complete
scam,
at
least
in
the
US—the
doors
will
not
close
any
faster
no
matter
how
hard
you
press.
It
started
in
the
1990s
when
the
Americans
with
Disabilities
Act
was
passed
in
the
US,
making
sure
that
all
lifts
stayed
open
long
enough
so
that
people
with
disabilities
could
enter.
Only
US
firefighters
and
repairmen
can
use
the
buttons
to
speed
up
the
door-closing
process
if
they
have
a
code
or
special
keys.
But
to
normal
lift
riders,
the
buttons
aren’t
completely
useless.
According
to
psychologists,
fake
buttons
can
actually
make
you
feel
better
by
offering
you
a
sense
of
control.
“Perceived
(能够感知的)
control
is
very
important.
It
reduces
stress
and
increases
well-being,”
Ellen
J.
Langer,
a
psychology
professor,
said,
“Having
a
lack
of
control
is
connected
with
depression
(抑郁).”
Experts
have
expressed
that
a
lot
of
buttons
that
don’t
do
anything
exist
in
our
lives
for
this
same
purpose.
For
example,
many
offices
in
the
US
have
fake
thermostats
(温度调节器)
because
people
tend
to
feel
better
when
they
think
they
can
control
the
temperature
in
their
workspace.
But
Psychologists
found
it
interesting
that
even
when
people
are
aware
of
these
little
“white
lies”,
they
still
continue
to
push
fake
buttons
because
as
long
as
the
doors
eventually
close,
it
is
considered
to
be
worth
the
effort.
“That
habit
is
here
to
stay,”
John
Kounios,
a
psychology
professor,
said,
“Even
though
I
have
real
doubts
(怀疑)
about
the
traffic
light
buttons,
I
always
press
them.
After
all,
I’ve
got
nothing
else
to
do
while
waiting.
So
why
not
press
the
button
in
the
hope
that
this
one
will
work?”
28.
What
was
the
author’s
main
purpose
in
writing
the
article?
A.
To
describe
some
different
kinds
of
fake
buttons.
B.
To
tell
the
uses
of
fake
buttons.
C.
To
explore
people’s
different
habits
when
it
comes
to
pushing
buttons.
D.
To
explain
the
advantages
and
disadvantages
of
fake
buttons.
29.
What
does
the
underlined
word
“scam”
mean？
A.
Trick.
B.
Tool.
C.
Button.
D.
Mistake.
30.
According

John
Kounios,
people

buttons

what

fake
B.
should
give
up
this
habit

be
meaningless

When
we
want
to
tell
other
people
what
we
think,
we
can
do
it
with
the
help
of
words.
We
can
also
do
it
in
many
other
ways,
too.
Sometimes
we
move
our
heads
up
and
down
when
we
want
to
say
“yes”，and
we
shake
our
heads
when
we
want
to
say
“no”.
When
you
wave
to
a
friend,
you
are
using
body
language.
When
you
smile
at
someone
you
mean
to
be
friendly.
When
you
put
one
finger
in
front
of
your
mouth,
you
mean
“be
quiet”.
Yet,
people
in
different
countries
may
use
different
body
languages.
An
Englishman
was
in
Italy.
He
could
speak
little
Italian.
One
day
while
he
was
walking
in
the
street,
he
felt
hungry
and
went
into
a
restaurant.
When
the
waiter
came,
the
Englishman
opened
his
mouth,
put
his
fingers
into
it
and
took
them
out
again
and
moved
his
lips.
In
this
way,
he
meant
to
say,
“Bring
me
something
to
eat”.
But
the
waiter
brought
him
a
lot
of
things
to
drink,
first
tea,
then
coffee
then
milk,
but
no
food.
The
Englishman
was
sorry
that
he
was
not
able
to
tell
the
waiter
he
was
hungry.
He
was
ready
to
leave
the
restaurant
when
another
man
came
in.
The
man
put
his
hands
on
his
stomach,
and
this
body
language
was
good
enough
for
the
waiter.
In
a
few
minutes,
the
waiter
brought
him
a
large
plate
of
bread
and
meat.
Finally
the
Englishman
had
his
meal
in
the
same
way.

be
quiet,

A.
wave
your
hands

smile
to
him

him
loudly
D.
put
one

If
you
want
to
be
a
volunteer,
you
have
to
answer
the
following
typical
questions.
Do
you
want
to
work
with
people,
animals
or
machines?
Do
you
want
to
work
indoors
or
outdoors,
directly
serve
people
in
need
or
serve
people
behind
the
scenes?
Every
year,
thousands
of
people
in
the
west
offer
volunteer
service.
Volunteering
greatly
strengthens
the
community
because
it
helps
the
old,
the
young,
the
weak,
the
sick,
and
the
disabled
and
the
injured
to
solve
problems.
Volunteers
usually
help
in
many
different
ways.
They
may
give
people
advice,
offer
friendship
to
the
young,
drive
the
elderly
to
church
(if
up
to
the
driving
age),
advise
kids
against
drugs,
work
as
assistants
in
schools
or
nursing
homes,
raise
funds,
plant
trees,
help
out
in
local
libraries
and
do
many
other
things.
Volunteering
can
be
a
few
hours
a
week
or
a
few
hours
a
month.
Anybody
who
wants
to
serve
people
in
need
can
become
a
volunteer.
In
fact,
the
art
of
volunteering
is
a
process
of
both
giving
and
receiving.
Volunteering
allows
volunteers
to
meet
new
people,
make
new
friends
and
mix
with
people
from
all
walks
of
life.
Volunteering
is
an
excellent
way
to
experiment
and
try
out
new
techniques
and
skills,
discover
your
individual
talents
and
explore
career
choice.
Being
a
volunteer
will
take
you
on
a
wonderful
journey
and
help
you
learn
more
than
what
you
can
get
from
books.

the
website
BookCrossing．com
turns
the
page
on
the
traditional
idea
of
a
book
group．
Members
go
on
the
site
and
register
the
books
they
own
and
would
like
to
share．BookCrossing
provides
an
identification
number
to
stick
inside
the
book．Then
the
person
leaves
it
in
a
public
place，hoping
that
the
book
will
have
an
adventure，traveling
far
and
wide
with
each
new
reader
who
finds
it．
Bruce
Pederson，the
managing
director
of
BookCrossing，says，"The
two
things
that
change
your
life
are
the
people
you
meet
and
books
you
read．BookCrossing
combines
both．"
Members
leave
books
on
park
benches
and
buses，in
train
stations
and
coffee
shops．Whoever
finds
their
book
will
go
to
the
site
and
record
where
they
found
it．
People
who
find
a
book
can
also
leave
a
journal
entry
describing
what
they
thought
of
it．E-mails
are
then
sent
to
the
BookCrossers
to
keep
them
updated
about
where
their
books
have
been
found．Bruce
Peterson
says
the
idea
is
for
people
not
to
be
selfish
by
keeping
a
book
to
gather
dust
on
a
shelf
at
home．
BookCrossing
is
part
of
a
trend
among
people
who
want
to
get
back
to
the"real"and
not
the
virtual（虚拟）．The
site
now
has
more
than
one
million
members
in
more
than
one
hundred
thirty-five
countries．

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Tim
was
walking
home
from
school
one
day
when
he
noticed
a
boy
ahead
of
him.
He
had
tripped
(绊倒)
and
dropped
all
of
the
books
he
was
carrying
along
with
some
clothes,
a
baseball
bat
and
a
glove.
Tim
knelt
down
and
helped
the
boy
pick
up
the
things.
Since
they
were
going
the
same
way,
he
offered
to
carry
some
things
for
the
boy.
As
they
walked,
Tim
knew
that
the
boy’s
name
was
Sam.
He
loved
video
games,
baseball
and
history,
but
he
was
having
trouble
with
some
of
his
subjects.
They
arrived
at
Sam’s
home
first.
Tim
was
invited
in
for
a
Coke
and
to
watch
some
television.
The
afternoon
passed
pleasantly
with
some
laughs
and
talk.
Then
Tim
went
home.
They
continued
to
see
each
other
at
school
and
had
lunch
together
once
or
twice
a
week.
Three
days
before
they
finished
high
school,
Sam
asked
Tim
if
they
could
talk.
Sam
reminded
Tim
of
the
day
years
ago
when
they
had
first
met.
“Did
you
ever
wonder
why
I
was
carrying
so
many
things
home
that
day?’’
asked
Sam.
“You
see,
I
took
away
all
my
things
from
school.
I
had
stored
away
some
of
my
mother’s
sleeping
pills.
I
was
going
home
to
kill
myself.
But
after
we
spent
some
time
talking
and
laughing,
I
realized
that
if
I
had
died,
I
would
have
missed
so
many
good
times.
So
you
see,
Tim,
when
you
picked
up
those
books
that
day,
you
did
a
lot
more.
You
saved
my
life.
”

A
hobby
is
any
activity
a
person
likes
to
do
in
his
spare
time.
So
those
who
get
busy
in
their
activity
never
get
bored
in
their
free
time.
Hobbies
vary
from
person
to
person.
Hobbies
are
of
different
kinds.
They
can
be
indoors
or
outdoors.
Some
are
costly
and
some
are
cheap.
Pursing
a
particular
hobby
is
a
matter
of
personal
choice.
My
favorite
hobby
is
coin
collection.
It
is
also
one
of
the
oldest
hobbies
of
the
world
and
is
also
called
“hobby
of
the
Kings”,
as
in
the
old
times,
it
was
only
done
by
kings
and
elite(精英)class
of
the
society.
It
started
for
me
some
years
back
when
my
father
used
to
come
back
from
his
foreign
tours
and
give
me
coins
of
different
countries.
I
started
collecting
then
in
my
money
box
and
after
that
I
always
used
to
wait
for
my
new
coins
as
much
I
used
to
wait
for
my
father.
Since
then,
it
has
become
my
favorite
hobby.
This
hobby
has
given
me
information
about
different
countries
of
the
world.
I
have
got
to
know
about
important
personalities
of
the
different
countries.
This
hobby
has
made
me
be
responsible
to
take
care
of
important
things
at
very
young
age.
I
have
learnt
dealings
of
different
currencies(货币)on
my
foreign
tours
and
save
money
for
my
favorite
hobby.
I
feel
extreme
pleasure
in
showing
my
collection
to
others.
It
has
also
taught
me
this
lesson
that
A
LIFE
WITHOUT
A
HOBBY
IS
JUST
LIKE
FOOD
WITHOUT
SALT.
5.
What
decides
a
person’s
hobby?
A.
Whether
he
has
free
time.
B.
It
is
up
to
the
person
himself.
C.
Whether
the
hobby
is
expensive
or
cheap.
D.
Whether
the
hobby
can
be
indoors
or
outdoors.
6.
Why
was
coin
collection
called
“hobby
of
the
Kings”?
A.
In
the
past,
only
the
kings
and
upper
class
could
collect
coins.
B.
The
king
could
collect
coins
from
all
over
the
world.
C.
Only
the
king
could
collect
coins.
D.
Kings
had
enough
money
to
collect
coins.

What
should
you
think
about
in
trying
to
find
your
career?
You
are
probably
better
at
some
school
subjects
than
others.
These
may
show
strengths
that
you
can
use
in
your
work.
A
boy
who
is
good
at
mathematics
can
use
that
in
an
engineering
career.
A
girl
who
spells
well
and
likes
English
may
be
good
at
office
work.
So
it
is
important
to
do
well
at
school.
On
the
other
hand,
you
may
not
have
any
specially
strong
or
weak
subjects
but
your
records
show
a
general
satisfactory
standard.
Although
not
all
subjects
can
be
used
directly
in
a
job,
they
may
have
indirect
value.
Knowledge
of
history
is
not
required
for
most
jobs
but
if
history
is
one
of
your
good
subjects
you
must
have
learned
to
remember
facts
and
details.
This
is
an
ability
that
can
be
useful
in
many
jobs.
Your
school
may
have
taught
you
skills,
such
as
typing
or
technical
drawing,
which
you
can
use
in
your
work.
You
may
be
good
at
metal
work
or
cookery
(烹饪术)
and
look
for
a
job
where
you
can
improve
these
skills.
If
you
have
had
a
part-time
job
on
weekends
or
in
the
summer,
think
what
you
gained
from
it.
If
nothing
else,
you
may
have
learned
how
to
get
to
work
on
time,
to
follow
instructions
and
to
get
on
with
older
workers.
You
may
have
learned
to
give
correct
change
in
a
shop,
for
example.
Just
as
important,
you
may
become
interested
in
a
particular
industry
or
career
you
see
from
the
inside
of
a
part-time
job.
Facing
your
weak
points
is
also
part
of
knowing
yourself.
You
may
be
all
thumbs
when
you
handle
tools;
perhaps
you
are
a
poor
speller
or
cannot
add
up
a
column
of
figures.
It
is
better
to
face
any
weaknesses
than
to
pretend
they
do
not
exist.
Your
school
record,
for
instance,
may
not
be
too
good,
yet
it
is
an
important
part
of
your
background.
You
should
not
be
ashamed
of
it
but
instead
recognize
that
you
will
have
a
chance
of
a
fresh
start
at
work.

According
to
the
passage,
what
does
the
author
encourage
us
to
do?
A.
Have
a
specially
strong
subject.
B.
Use
school
performance
to
help
to
choose
a
career.

Make
efforts
to
be
good
at
all
subjects.

Take
up
part-time
jobs
as
much
as
possible.

Chen
Lingyu,
28,
is
a
saleswoman
at
a
garment
company
in
Wuhan,
Central
China’s
Hubei
province,
and
she
was
a
volunteer
driver
in
the
fight
against
the
novel
coronavirus(新冠肺炎).
She
drove
medical
workers
between
their
homes
and
hospitals
every
day.
“I
love
Wuhan,
whether
it
is
good
or
not.
In
the
current
situation,
I
would
like
to
do
what
I
can
to
help.
The
buses
and
subways
have
stopped
running,
but
medical
workers
need
to
do
their
important
work.
My
work
can
help
them,
and
it
makes
me
feel
better.”
Chen
said.
She
drove
more
than
10
doctors
and
nurses
to
hospitals
and
back
home
a
day.
Chen
remembered
clearly
when
she
first
picked
up
two
nurses
at
Zhongshan
Hospital
in
the
city’s
Qiaokou
district,
as
they
told
her
if
she
had
not
picked
them
up,
they
might
have
to
walk
home.
Chen
took
her
temperature
and
never
forgot
to
wear
a
face
mask
every
day.
The
protective
clothing
she
wore
when
driving
was
hung
on
her
balcony
after
work.
She
said
she
ate
two
meals
a
day
one
in
the
morning,
and
another
meal
after
finishing
the
day’s
work.
One
day,
she
drove
so
many
medical
workers
home,
and
she
was
so
tired
that
she
didn’t
eat
supper.
She
said
she
lived
by
herself,
and
her
parents
lived
with
her
grandparents.
They
supported
her,
saying
she
needed
to
be
careful
and
used
good
protection
measures.
When
she
was
a
university
student,
Chen
did
volunteer
at
Wuhan
Railway
Station.
At
the
beginning
of
the
epidemic（疫情）,
she
bought
3,000
face
masks
to
donate,
and
also
joined
the
volunteer
driver
team.
Though
she
got
tired,
she
never
even
thought
of
giving
up.

World
Book
Day
falls
on
April
23
every
year.
It
was
set
up
in
1955
to
encourage
people
to
discover
the
pleasure
of
reading.
Many
countries
celebrate
World
Book
Day.
In
the
UK,
the
government
has
introduced
a
rule
that
a
book
token(购书券)is
a
passport.
Every
year
15
million
tokens
are
given
out
to
students
in
Britain
and
Ireland.
With
a
token,
students
can
go
to
any
bookshop
to
choose
a
free
book
according
to
their
taste
and
hobby.
It
is
believed
that
15%
of
the
UK
children
don’t
have
a
book
of
theirs.
This
mainly
results
from
the
high
book
prices.
A
book

Reading
provides
us
with
information
about

of
the
world.
When
we

we
may
learn
many
things
that
are

2019-2020学年湖南省长沙市长郡中学高一英语第二学期期末考试试题卷
第一节阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
When
I
was
a
kid,
my
siblings
(兄弟姐妹)
and
I
used
to
have
ice
cream
for
dessert.
Every
day,
we
would
choose
which
ice
cream
flavor
to
have,
whether
to
eat
it
in
a
cone
or
a
bowl.
Then
we
would
happily
wolf
down
our
treat
(款待)
as
fast
as
we
could.
Once,
though,
when
I
was
probably
about
10
or
11,
our
grandpa
came
to
visit
us.
Grandpa
always
had
a
unique
view
on
things.
On
this
particular
occasion,
my
sister
and
I
were
making
bets
as
to
who
could
finish
our
ice
cream
first.
With
a
smile,
Grandpa
said,
“Why
would
you
want
to
finish
first?
If
you
eat
slowly,
it
will
last
longer.
You
should
have
a
competition
to
see
who
can
finish
last.”
Even
now,
I
always
try
to
taste
my
ice
cream,
but
of
course
this
is
about
more
than
just
dessert.
Too
often,
kids
want
to
scramble
(争夺)
for
more,
whether
it’s
more
ice
cream,
more
toys,
or
more
friends.
This
habit
persists
into
our
adult
years,
and
we
end
up
constantly
scrambling
for
more.
We
never
develop
the
skill
of
appreciating
what
we
have.
If
we
learn
to
recognize
this
pattern
and
change
it,
we
can
raise
our
kids
a
little
differently,
giving
them
the
tool
of
tasting
their
widely
known
dessert,
which
could
lead
to
a
happier
life
for
them.
What
my
grandpa
taught
me
that
day
was
really
that
if
you
take
the
opportunity
to
enjoy
what’s
in
front
of
you,
the
pleasure
will
last
longer
and
be
more
rewarding
than
if
you
rush
through
life
always
trying
to
get
the
next
treat.
It’s
a
lesson
that,
I
think,
has
made
my
adult
life
happier,
as
well.
These
days,
when
I
want
something,
I
wait
as
long
as
I
can
before
I
allow
myself
to
have
it.
Then,
when
I
finally
get
it,
I
make
sure
to
treasure
it
as
long
as
possible,
because
I
know
that,
no
matter
what
it
is,
it
will
be
gone
all
too
soon.

The
art
of
paper
cutting
in
China
has
a
long
history,
which
originated
from
the
6th
century.
As
paper
became
more
affordable,
paper
cutting
has
become
one
of
the
most
important
types
of
Chinese
folk
art.
Later,
this
art
form
spread
to
other
parts
of
the
world,
with
different
areas
adopting
their
own
cultural
styles.
Because
the
paper
cuts
are
often
used
to
decorate
doors
and
windows,
they
are
sometimes
referred
to
as
“window
flowers”.
Scissors
and
knives
are
the
basic
tools
to
make
a
paper
cut,
and
the
subjects
are
different
in
figures,
such
as
flowers,
bird,
characters,
familiar
folk
stories
and
fairy
tales.
It’s
also
common
to
see
some
Chinese
characters
on
paper
cuts.
The
most
famous
paper
cutting
characters
in
Chinese
are
words
meaning
“lucky”
and
“double
happiness”.
Even
these
days,
Chinese
people
love
to
hang
paper
cutting
of
these
two
characters
at
their
doors.
Chinese
paper
cuts
were
used
for
religious
and
ceremonial
purposes
in
the
past.
They
have
been
buried
with
the
dead
and
burned
at
funerals.
At
the
same
time,
paper
cuts
have
special
significance
on
festivals
and
holidays.
Paper
cuts
are
made
in
many
areas
through
the
country;
in
general,
the
northern
style
is
bold
and
free
while
the
southern
is
delicate
(精致的)
and
smooth.
People
express
wishes
and
hopes
with
paper
cutting.
As
a
national
non-material
culture
heritage
(遗产),
paper
cutting
is
really
precious.

When
you
step
on
an
escalator
(自动扶梯),
do
you
stand
to
one
side
to
let
others
pass?
When
someone
in
the
room
fans
himself
with
a
piece
of
paper,
do
you
open
a
window?
If
you
ask
someone
to
hang
out
with
you
and
they
stare
at
you
blankly,
do
you
withdraw
the
invitation?
If
you
don’t
do
any
of
these
things,
I
have
some
unfortunate
news:
you
cannot
“read
the
air”.
Knowing
the
unspoken
rules
governing
social
life
requires
a
comprehensive
understanding
of
your
environment,
whatever
its
setting.
It’s
a
skill
that’s
valuable
anywhere
in
the
world—but
in
Japan,
it
is
raised
to
another
level.
Reading
the
air—kuuki
o
yomu
in
Japanese—is
a
constant
exercise.
Misreading
the
air
can
blow
business
deals
or
ruin
relationships.
Rochelle
Kopp,
who
runs
a
cross-cultural
training
firm
Japan
Intercultural
Consulting,
says
that
while
all
nations
have
varying
degrees
of
indirect
communication,
in
Japan
the
phenomenon
is
more
prominent
in
society.
For
example,
if
you’re
talking
to
a
client
who
has
long
since
lost
interest,
you
risk
being
labeled
KY—a
pejorative
Japanese
slang
term
that
stands
for
“kuuki
ga
yomenai”,
or
“unable
to
read
the
air”.
A
big
part
of
“reading
the
air”
is
picking
up
on
non-verbal
cues.
David
Matsumoto,
a
psychology
professor
at
San
Francisco
State
University,
studies
micro-expressions:
tiny
involuntary
facial
tics
that
can
give
away
a
person’s
true
emotions.
When,
for
example,
a
client
at
work
says
they’re
happy
with
the
job
you’re
doing,
a
very
subtle
lip
twitch
or
eyebrow
raise
could
mean
they’re
not
telling
you
the
truth.
Noticing
micro-expressions,
along
with
other
non-verbal
communication,
is
important
in
any
interaction,
no
matter
where
you
are.
“Silence
is
one
non-verbal
signal.
So
is
shifting
of
posture.
A
social
smile
could
be
yet
another
signal,”
says
Matsumoto.
“All
of
these
are
part
of
the
non-verbal
package
that
contributes
to
that
contextual
meaning.”
Matsumoto
runs
Humintell,
a
company
that
provides
workshops
on
how
to
get
better
at
reading
micro-expressions
and
other
non-verbal
signals.
Others
provide
such
services,
too;
in
Tokyo’s
Toranomon
business
district,
researcher
Kenji
Shimizu
runs
the
Institute
for
Science
and
Being
Sensitive
to
the
Situation.
Like
Matsumoto,
Shimizu
teaches
people
how
to
master
micro-expressions.
Shimizu
uses
a
system
developed
by
U.S.
psychologist
Paul
Ekman,
who
coined
the
term
and
described
the
subtle
facial
changes
as
“involuntary
emotional
leakage”.
“If
you
notice
someone’s
disgust
(厌恶)
—wrinkling
around
the
nose—or
anger—brows
lowering,
eyes
widening,
lips
pressing—and
yet
those
expressions
are
masked
by
smiles,
you
may
want
to
figure
out
their
actual
thoughts.”
Shimizu
says.
