People often use gestures to express our feelings, but the problem is that the gestures can be understood in different ways.
It is true that a smile means the same thing in any language. So does laughter or crying. Fear is another emotion(情感) that is shown in much the same way all over the world. In Chinese and in English literature, a phrase like “he went pale and began to tremble” suggests that the man is either very afraid or he has just got a very big shock.
However, “he opened his eyes wide” is used to suggest anger in Chinese whereas in English it means surprise. In Chinese, surprise can be described in a phrase like “they stretched out their tongues!” “Stretching out your tongue” in English is an insulting(侮辱的, 无礼的)gesture or expresses strong dislike.
Even in the same culture, people differ in their ability to understand and express feelings. Experiments in America have shown that women are usually better than men at recognizing fear, anger, love and happiness on people’s faces. Other studies show that older people usually find it easier to understand body language than younger people do.
Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?
A.We can easily understand what people’s gestures mean. |
B.It is difficult to tell what people’s gestures really mean sometimes. |
C.Gestures can be understood by most people but words are not. |
D.Words can be better understood by older people. |
People’s facial expressions may be misunderstood in different cultures because ______ .
A.people from different cultures have different meanings about some facial expressions |
B.people speaking different languages have different facial expressions |
C.people of different ages may have different interpretations (解释) |
D.people of different sexes may understand a gesture differently |
From the passage, we can conclude(得出结论) that ______ .
A.words are often more difficult to understand than gestures |
B.gestures can be more effectively used than words to express feelings |
C.gestures can be used to express feelings |
D.gestures are used as frequently as words to express feelings |
The best title for this passage can be ______ .
A.Gestures | B.Feelings |
C.Culture and Understanding | D.Gestures and Feelings |
Parents have widely different views on the problem of pocket money. Four new fathers were asked this question and this is how they answered.
Ashish Khanna: Although many argue that pocket money helps develop children’s sense of value, I don’t agree. I wouldn’t give my child any pocket money. First of all, I never got pocket money and I seem to have a good value for money. If my child ever needed something and I felt it was a reasonable (合理的) request, I would buy it for him.
Sharad Sanghi: No, I wouldn’t give my child pocket money because I don’t want to create the perception (观念) of “her” money and “my” money. Besides, if I refuse to buy her something that I think is bad for her, she may buy it with her pocket money on the sly. In this way, I would lose control over my child’s requests. I feel it also encourages children to care more about money than anything else. I don’t want my child to start judging other children by the amount of money or pocket money they have.
Rakesh Shah: Yes, I would give my child pocket money because I feel that children should learn to spend money properly. I will give him a fixed amount every month and if he spends the money before the month is over, he will learn a lesson and not spend money so freely. He will learn what his limitations (限制) are and feel the difficulty when he has to pay for something that is over his own pocket.
Rajiv Patel: Yes, I would give my child pocket money because it is important that he learns to manage money. But I would not give it to him on a weekly or monthly basis. He would have to earn it. If he helped me finish some of my jobs or helped his mother with housework, I would reward him. This helps him realize that “money does not grow on trees” and it requires hard work to earn money.
Ashish Khanna may agree that _____.
A.he was given too much pocket money when young |
B.he can take much control of his child by money |
C.he will buy anything he thinks his child really needs |
D.pocket money helps children develop a good value for money |
The underlined phrase “on the sly” in Paragraph 3 is the closest in meaning to “_____”.
A.for free | B.at a lower price |
C.happily | D.secretly |
Who would give his child pocket money every month?
A.Ashish Khanna. | B.Sharad Sanghi. |
C.Rakesh Shah. | D.Rajiv Patel. |
What do Rakesh Shah and Rajiv Patel have in common?
A.They want their children to learn to manage money from an early age. |
B.They ask their children to get pocket money by working. |
C.They teach their children the difficulty of making money. |
D.They allow their children to spend money freely. |
Nowadays, the increase in the prices of agricultural products is one of the greatest concerns of the people and the government. The government has announced a series of policies(政策) to prevent the prices from rising further. Rising housing prices is still a big concern for the people, but since farm products are needed every day, the increase in their prices has made life very difficult for them.
Many people may think the increase will help farmers. But have higher prices of farm products really benefited the farmers?
Take the increase in vegetable prices in the first half of this year for example. Though natural disasters such as droughts and spring frost did not cause the prices of farm products to increase greatly—in fact, prices of some products did not increase at all—vegetables have become dearer by as much as 20 percent compared to that of last year. This means only a small part (or even none) of the extra money that city people have paid to buy farm products has gone to the farmers. The extra cost actually has gone to middlemen.
As the fact shows, just increasing prices of farm products will have negative influence on the entire economy. On one hand, the price increase has created some abnormal phenomena, which hurts farmers’ interests. On the other hand, resources will enter the agriculture because of the high price of farm products, which would finally create negative effect on the whole economy.
In such a case, it would be better to leave the market to decide the prices instead of raising farm products’ prices to protect the interests of farmers. Actually, such a way will be better for farmers in the long run.
What does the author mainly want to tell us by writing the passage?
A.Farmers benefit a lot from the price increase. |
B.Price increase has not helped farmers. |
C.We should be sorry for farmers. |
D.Price increase has a bad effect on economy. |
Many people think the increase in the prices of farm products benefits ______ .
A. nobody | B.the country | C.middlemen | D.farmers |
The following statements are true EXCEPT ______ .
A.the government has done something to prevent the prices from rising further |
B.it is better for farmers to leave the market to decide the prices in the long run |
C.natural disasters did not cause the prices of farm products to increase greatly |
D.rising housing prices has made life very difficult for people |
What is probably the author’s attitude to raising the farm products’ prices?
A.Negative. | B.Indifferent.(漠不关心的) |
C.Enthusiastic. | D.Positive. |
根据短文内容,从下框A~F选项中选出能概括每段主题的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。选项中有一项为多余项。
A. A sense of humour helps us from several aspects. B. A sense of humour can be developed in our life. C. A sense of humour is not an inborn ability. D. A sense of humour means more than telling jokes. E. A sense of humour can be expressed in many ways. F. A sense of humour helps people to better enjoy life. |
64. _______
As awareness of the benefits of humour increases, most of us want to get all the laughs we can. It seems that almost every day there is another new discovery about the power of humour to help us physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Every system of the body responds to laughter in some important or positive way .
65.________
Many people mistakenly believe that we are born with a sense of humour. They think that when it comes to a sense of humour. “either you have got it or you don't . ” This is false! What is true, however, is that the ability to laugh and smile is actually something we are born with. For example, we laugh when we are tickled under the arm, even without thinking about how to react.
66._________
The parts of the brain and central nervous system that control laughing and smiling are mature at birth in human infants, but that is not the same thing as having a sense of humour. (After all, when a baby laughs in his small bed we don’t rush over and say, “That kid has a great sense of humour!”) Your sense of humour is something you can develop over a lifetime. Don’t be nervous before others and try to laugh at yourself-then you will make them laugh too.
67.________
Humour includes a lot more than laughing and joke telling. Many people worry needlessly that they do not have a good sense of humour because they are not good joke tellers. More than jokes, a sense of humour requires being willing and able to see the funny side of life’s situations as they happen. In fact, one of the best definitions(定义)of a sense of humour is “the ability to see the nonserious element in a situation. ”
68. _________
There may be a thousand different ways to express your sense of humour, but joke telling is only one of those ways. As more is discovered about how humour benefits our life, more people will be able to see and enjoy the humour when they are in a difficult situation. Life depends on air, food and water, but it is made easier to live with a good sense of humour.

I love camping. It’s my favourite way to spent the summer vacation. Last year, my family and I went camping in the countryside. It was one of the most excited experiences I had never had. We slept in a tent and went on a long walk every day. We cook over a fire and the food always tasted wonderfully. For a whole week, I saw lovely mountain views or breathed fresh air. At night, I heard the gentle wind blowing in the tree, and I felt so peaceful. It doesn’t cost many to camp, and what I believe it’s the best way to get close nature and enjoy its beauty.
