It speaks 31 than words. According to specialists, our bodies send out more 32 than we

19、 realize. In fact, non-verbal communication (非言語交際) takes up about 50% of what we really 33 , and body language is particularly 34 when we attempt to communicate across cultures. Indeed, what is called body language is so much a part of us that its actually often unnoticed. And misunderstandings occ

20、ur as a result of it. 35 , different societies treat the 36 between people differently.

Therefore, its possible

One day he decided to get the

26、 sweetest mango from the very top of the tree. Mangoes which are exposed to the sun the most are the sweetest.So he climbed up to the top, where the branches were thin. He managed to pick up a few sweet reddish fruits, but, in an attempt to climb down, he slipped and started falling towards the grou

27、nd. Fortunately, he caught the branch as he was falling and remained helplessly hanging on the tree. Then he started to call nearby villagers for help. They immediately came with a ladder and sticks, but could do little to help him.Then after some time one calm and thoughtful person arrived a well-k

28、nown sage (a wise person) who lived in a simple hut nearby. People were very curious to see what he would do, as he was famous in solving many peoples problems in the area and sometimes very complicated ones.He was silent for a minute and then picked up a stone and threw it at the hanging man. Every

29、body was surprised. The hanging mango lover started to shout: “What are you doing?! Are you crazy? Do you want me to break my neck?” The sage was silent. Then he took another stone and threw it at the man. The man was very angry: “If I could just come down, I would show you!”Thats what everybody wan

30、ted. Then he was coming down. But how? Now everybody was tense about what would happen next! Some wanted to blame the sage, but they didnt. The sage picked another stone and threw it again at the man, even more forcefully. Now the man on the tree was even more angry and developed a great determinati

31、on to come down and take revenge (復(fù)仇).He then used all his skill and strength and somehow reached the branches which were safe to start going down. And he made it! Everybody was amazed.However, the rescued man found the sage gone. He stood there, realizing that the man really saved him because he in

32、duced (引誘) him to try his best and save himself.“I should be thankful and not angry.”46. From the story we know that the sweetest mango must be the one _.A. on the very top of a treeB. hidden in the middle of a treeC. on the tree for the longest time D. exposed to sunlight less often47.

35、er is the biggest enemy.BWhat happens inside the skull of a soccer player when repeatedly heads a soccer ball? That question motivated a challenging new study of the brains of experienced players that has caused discussion and debate among soccer players, and some anxiety among those of us with socc

36、er-playing children. For the study, researchers at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York selected 34 adults, men and women. All of the volunteers had played soccer since childhood and now competed year-round in adult soccer leagues. Each filled out a detailed questionnaire developed es

37、pecially for this study to determine how many times they had headed a soccer ball in the previous year, as well as whether they had experienced any known concussions (腦震蕩) in the past. Then the players completed computerized tests of their memory and other learning skills and had their brains scanne

38、d, using a complicated new M.R.I. technique which can find structural changes in the brain that cant be seen during most scans. According to the data they presented at Radiological Society of North America meeting last month, the researchers found that the players who had headed the ball more than a

39、bout 1,100 times in the previous 12 months showed significant loss of white matter in parts of their brains involved with memory, attention and the processing of visual information, compared with players who had headed the ball fewer times. This pattern of white matter loss is “similar to those seen

40、 in traumatic (外傷的) brain injury”, like that after a serious concussion, the researchers reported, even though only one of these players was reported to have ever experienced a concussion. The players who had headed the ball about 1,100 times or more in the past year were also generally worse at rec

41、alling lists of words read to them, forgetting or fumbling the words far more often than players who had headed the ball less. 51. The passage is most probably a _. A. news report B. research report C. story for soccer players D. text for doctors52. In which way can researchers find the structural c

42、hanges in the brain? A. Computerized test B. Questionnaire C. Scanning D. M.R.I. technique53. From the passage we can conclude that frequent heading may have _. A. significant effect on brain B. little effect on ones brainC. nothing to do with the brain injury D. ones memory improved54. What is like

43、ly to be the cause of memory loss? A. Playing soccer frequently B. Tests of their memory C. White matter loss D. Information processing55. The underlined word “fumbling” is closest in meaning to _? A. remembering B. misunderstandingC. recalling D. missing CAll parents know that one of their most imp

44、ortant tasks is to prepare their children for an independent life, but any parent can tell you that its hard to let go of your children. That balance between keeping your children safe and allowing them to learn from their own mistakes can be heartbreaking. Years of experience means that parents oft

45、en do know best, but on the other hand the young, being less bound by tradition, are often more creative, more able to find new solutions to old problems. Revolutions are led by the young.Good teachers make the growth of critical thinking (批判性思維) easier in their students, only to find that this lead

46、 to a questioning of the teachers basic beliefs. Schools encourage parents to become involved, but are often embarrassed when parents have doubts about some of the educational methods being used. Governments encourage unimportant groups to empower themselves in order to participate fully in the deve

47、lopment process. And they are often surprised when the new leaders of these groups turn around and attack the policies or decisions of that same government. However, the rebellious (叛逆的) young and the newly unimportant groups are important in social development. They are not necessarily representati

48、ves of those they want to represent in their demands, but their voices must be heard.Good parents know that just forbidding (禁止) particular behaviors does not prevent their children from finding ways to engage in these forbidden activities. Indeed, sometimes the forbidden fruit is more inviting, jus

49、t because it is not accepted by authority. Parents must work with their children to educate them on the facts, know as much as possible about the lives of their children, provide a good example, encourage more wholesome activities but also support their children when they dont follow what is expecte

50、d of them. But the most important point is that they also need to learn how to let go.56. By saying “Revolutions are led by the young.”, the author indicates that young people are more _.A. conventionalB. realisticC. creativeD. heartbreaking57. From the second Paragraph we know _.A. teachers basic b

51、eliefs should be questioned by studentsB. schools encourage parents to question their education methodsC. government is satisfied with the new leaders attack on the policiesD. the voice of the rebellious young should be heard by the government58. In order to educate children well, parents should _.A

52、. forbid particular behaviors in their daily lifeB. know them well and set a good example to themC. educate them with facts and expect much of themD. know as much as possible about their children59. From the passage we can learn that the author prefers _.A. free parenting B. traditional parentingC.

53、critical parentingD. smart parenting60. What is the best title of the passage?A. Letting Go for Childrens Independent LifeB. Parents Task in Childrens DevelopmentC.
