Can you communicate with others when you live in a foreign country with no or little knowledge of its language? Of course, it is possible. You can communicate your moods and intentions to one another without words, because all human beings share a lot of common visual(看见的)signals. These signals are as effective(有效的)as words during communication.

The gestures of the head play a key role in body language. The movements of eyes and eyebrows are as important as head movements in body language.

Besides the gestures of the head or the movements of the eyes and eyebrows, the action of arms, hands and legs is also a large part of body language. Extending one's arm and shaking hands with others is a greeting in both formal and informal cases. This part of body language might date back to primary tribes(原始部落).

Like handshaking, there are still many other forms of body language presented by hands. Raising one's hand and making a circle with his thumb(拇指)and for finger signals, that something is OK. Clasped(握紧的)hands raised above the head, a traditional picture accepted by sportsmen after winning a fight, is a display of triumph that grows out of a kind of feeling following a victory. Waving one's hands, a speaker can make his words more powerful and vigorous(有活力的).

Besides hand gestures, there are times when a person says something with his legs as well as with his head and eyes. The leg gestures often reflect one's attitude towards something or someone that person is with.

According to the above facts, body language has offered a more reliable(可靠的)way to understand one's mind by means of gestures. Though it is soundless and wordless, once you understand it, you will feel the world is bigger than you realized.

55. Which of the following is the proper title for this passage?

A. Body Language     B. How to Communicate with the People around You

C. The History of Body Language       D. Gestrures And Languages

56.After reading the passage we can conclude that ________.

A. hand shaking suggests that the speaker is excited

B. head plays a less important part in body language

C. actors and actresses are good at gestures

D. people began to use body language long long ago

57.What's the characteristic(特点、特征)of body language?

A. Soundless and wordless.　　　 B. Difficult to understand.

C. Powerful and vigorous.　　　  D. Effective and normal

58.When sports men win a match, they probably ________.

A. clasp their hands to announce their victory

When building houses, people used to think about not only the climate of the areas but also the building materials and the fashions for their houses. However, since electricity became more and more expensive, people began to pay much more attention to the energy they could get for their houses and the new ways they could find to protect their houses from both cold and heat.

Now, houses of an old yet new type have been widely built. In some parts of the world, people share their houses with their livestock(家禽). During cold weather, they gather their cows, goats, or other animals and keep them on the first floor of their houses. The reasons are that the animals can be protected from the cold and that they can help to heat the houses as well.The body heat given off by the animals rises to the second floor of the houses, where people live in. By sharing their houses with their livestock, people gain a source of heat.

People who live in or near cities do not usually keep livestock. However, home builders use the fact that heat rises. This natural law can be used in building houses in these areas. Instead of keeping livestock on the first floor, builders fill it with large rocks. As they are open to the sun’s rays during cold weather, these rocks take in heat. They also give off the heat, and, of couse, the warm air rises into the living areas of the houses. So these houses are energy-saving.

Housef-building becomes a great challenge to building designers and energy engineers. They try to meet this challenge by learning from old traditions and by using modern technology. And someday in the futuer, people will be able to live in more energy-saving houses.

59. What did people begin to consider as electricity was no longer cheap?

A. The climate of their areas.                    B. The energy for their houses.

C. The fashions for their houses.                 D. The buildign materials for their houses.

60.The underlined words “natural law” in the lthird paragraph refer to the fact that _____________.

A. heat raises the temperature in the houses

B. heat goes in the upward direction

C. heat goes up if temperature is raised

D. heat increases the temperature of rocks

61.From the passage, we can conclude that __________.

A. people will no longer consider building materials in the future

B. energy- sasving buildings will become more popular in the future

C. almost all people will move into the houses heated by large rocks

D.energy engineers will devote themselves only to modern technology

Friends play an important part in our lives, and although we may take friendship for granted(认为……理所当然), we often don’t clearly understand how to make friends. While we get on well with a number of people, we are usually friends with only a very few — for example, the average among students is about 6 per person. In all the cases of friendly relationships, two people like one another and enjoy being together, but beyond that, the degree of intimacy(亲密)between them and the reasons for their shared interests vary(变化)greatly. As we get to know people, we take into account things like age, race, economic condition, social position, and intelligence. Although these factors(因素)are not of great importance, it is more difficult to get on with people when there is a marked difference in age and background.

Some friendly relationships can be kept on argument and discussion, but it is usual for close friends to have similar ideas and beliefs, the same opinions and interests — they often talk about “being on the same wavelength”. It generally takes time to reach this point. And the more intimately involved people become, the more they depend on one another. People who want to be friends have to learn to put up with annoying habits and to stand differences.

In contrast(比较)with marriage, there are no friendship ceremonies to strengthen the association(友谊)between two people. But the supporting and understanding of each other that results from shared experiences and emotions does seem to create a powerful bond, which can overcome differences in background, and break down barriers(障碍)of age, class or race.

62. According to the passage, ______.

A. friends are those who must share their interests

B. friends are closer than people who just get on with each other

C. all the people know how to make friends

D. every student has six friends

63. We can learn from the passage that ______.

A. friendship can overcome all differences between two people

B. there are no special ceremonies to strengthen friendship

C. standing differences in opinion can lead to friendship

D. friendship can be strengthened by smiles and soft voices

64. Which of the following is NOT implied(暗示)in the passage?

A. Even friends may have different opinions.

B. Friends never argue with each other.

C. It generally takes time for people to become close friends.

D. Someone’s habits may annoy his friends.

65. When people talk about “being on the same wavelength”, they mean that they ______.

A. watch the same TV programs

B. are the same in all ways

C. have the same background

D. share the same way of thinking and the same interests
