9、ak looking for books for me. He would often come home in the evening with a book for me in his bag. When he handed the “gift” over to me, I immediately investigated its cover, checked out the description on the back, and sometimes started reading right then. I was not always as appreciative of those

10、 books as I should have been, especially in my younger years. One time, my dad brought home a paperback (平装书) called Bunya the Witch. I scanned the cover quickly before declaring (断言), “Ugh! Its just another stupid farm book,” and dropping it on the ground. I was rightfully reprimanded for being an

11、ungrateful kid, and I learned that valuable lesson about not judging a book by its cover Bunya the Witch turned out to be one of my favorites. As I got older, my dad favored books focused on strong young female characters, like Invincible Louisa by Cornelia Meigs, Up a Road Slowly by Irene Hunt, and

12、 Homesick: My Own Story by Jean Fritz, books I remember to this day. Its not just the books themselves that stay in my memory. Its the girl reading them, and what she felt as she read. I think back to hours spent in my childhood bedroom, reading about young women who faced lives much more difficult

13、than mine. I learned from their courage and drew inspiration from their bravery. To this day, I love to read.

17、.It doesnt sound like a common thing to do during the math class, but Bethany Lambeth, a teacher from Wake County, said that ever since she installed (安装) cycling machines under her students desks, the quality of their work had improved greatly. Students are more focused and more importantly, they a

18、re no longer restless all the time.“In the past, they were drumming on their desks or they were touching other people, but they dont do that anymore. Their feet are getting out of the movement,” she said.“The kids are not making fun of each other and they are able to get their activities through and

19、 get their work done,” the young educator added. “I think the world is changing a lot and the kids need to be able to do something different.”Lambeth installed the cycling machines at the end of last year, paying around $150 for each.Judging by the results observed by the Wake County teacher, this m

25、 is angry? You may look at his or her face. However, a new study finds when people are at the peak of joy or despair, their body language is a more reliable indicator of their emotions than their face. “You cant tell from the face alone if something good is going on or bad going on. When people see

26、the faces alone, theyre kind of lost,” said Julliel Hievet, a psychologist at the Hebrew University. “The body maintains a clear signal of positive and negative.”Hievet also noted that most researches on reading emotions focused on the face. A few studies had shown people rely on body language to re

27、ad emotions when it conflicts with someones facial expression, but those studies used trained actors in poses. His research team wanted to see how people use body language to read intense emotions. To do so, his team gathered dozens of images of top tennis players at the moment they won or lost crit

28、ical points in competitions like the U. S. Open. They showed three groups of 15 participants images ofjust the face, just the body, or both together, and asked the viewers whether the images showed positive or negative emotions. People who saw the body with or without the face accurately distinguish

29、ed whether the player was happy or distraught. Those who viewed just the faces failed to do so. The team also transformed winning faces onto losing bodies and vice versa, and found the body cues determined whether viewers thought the players had won. The findings dont rule out the face from all emot

30、ional indicators, he said. “But when things become very intense, the good and the bad combine together, and its hard to tell if its positive or negative,” he added. Interestingly, when people saw a body and face together, they said they made judgments based on facial expression. “People use informat

31、ion from the body and then they read it into the face,” Hievet said.12What is the finding of the new study?AYou cannot tell ones emotions from the face.BBody can better indicate intense emotions than face.CFacial expressions tend to be different in joy and despair.DPeople thought they made accurate

32、assessments and inferences from body language.13Why are other studies mentioned in paragraph 3?ATo clarify the misunderstandings of other studies.BTo assess the validity of previous studies.CTo show the limitation of existing studies.DTo prove the value of facial expression.14What is paragraph 4 mai

33、nly about?AResearch background.BResearch method.CResearch results.DResearch application.15What does the underlined word “distraught” in paragraph 5 probably mean?AAshamed.BIndifferent.CEmbarrassed.DUpset.Body language mistakes you should avoid at workCommunication is not only about words but also ge

34、stures. Therefore, you should be careful about how you use your body when expressing yourself. Avoiding eye contact (接触)When speaking with a workmate, avoiding eye contact shows you look unprofessional (不专业的). 16 So, you should always keep eye contact especially when you are making a point. 17 Cross

35、ing your arms shows that you are not open to others and that you want to defend (防御) yourself. This is generally considered as a position of defence. In order to give others a warm feeling, just keep your arms open. Checking the timeChecking the time every few minutes makes people feel you are in a

36、hurry or would rather be somewhere else. 18 Therefore, when you are speaking to your workmates, try not to look at the clock very often. Bad body postureHaving a bad posture such as dropped shoulders or a lower neck can mean that you are not interested in what is going on around you. 19 Also, keep y

37、our head high. Weak handshakeA weak handshake means that you dont care much about the person you are shaking hands with. Try to greet the people with a firm (有力的) handshake. However, dont forget that a handshake that is too firm can be impolite. 20 ATherefore, try to find the right balance.BNod your
