| The eyes are one of the most expressive instruments of body language. Keith, seventeen, from Montclair New Jersey, learned the hard way about one 1 the eyes can make. "I had a teacher who graded heavily on classroom discussion," Keith says. "He seemed to have a strong ability to know just when I didn't have the 2 . I couldn't figure out how he could be so sharp. Then it dawned on (为……所明白) me. 3 I didn't know the answer, I would avoid looking at him. When I did know what to say, I always 4 straight back at him. From that moment on, I taught myself to look him in the eye, 5 I knew the work or not. That trick has saved me a lot of trouble." Many people,including some policemen,believe eye contact is a good test of honesty. If someone can't look at you directly in the eye,then he or she is not playing 6 , they insist. After many experiments, however, a number of experts have found out that good liars can make false eye contact. Eye contact, though not a(n) 7 sign of honesty, is a clear way to show interest in another person. When a person looks at you and continues to do so,you know his 8 is placed on you. When he turns his head away, his mind is probably elsewhere. 9 there are exceptions. A shy person may have trouble making and keeping eye contact, no matter how interested he is in the other person. And certain 10 , such as the British and Germans, are much less oriented (适应) to eyeball to eyeball contact than, say, the French and Arabs. | ||||

| We are all called upon to make a speech at some point in life, but most of us don't do a very good job. This article gives some suggestions on how to give an effective speech. So, you have to give a speech-and you're terrified. You get nervous, you forget what you want to say, you stumble over words, you talk too long, and you bore your audience. Later you think, "Thank goodness, it's over. I'm just no good at public speaking. I hope I never have to do that again." Cheer up! It doesn't have to be that bad. Here are some simple steps to take the pain out of speech making. Ask yourself the purpose of your speech. What is the occasion? Why are you speaking? Then, gather as many facts as you can on your subject. Spend plenty of time doing your research. Then spend plenty of time organizing your material so that your speech is clear and easy to follow. Use as many examples as possible, and use pictures, charts, and graphs if they will help you make your points more clearly. Never forget your audience. Don't talk over their heads, and don't talk down to them. Treat your audience with respect. They will appreciate your thoughtfulness. Just remember: be prepared. Know your subject, your audience, and the occasion. Be brief. Say what you have to say and then stop. And be yourself. Let your personality come through so that you make person-to- person contact with your audience. If you follow these simple steps, you'll see that you don't have to be afraid of public speaking. In fact, you may find the experience so enjoyable that you volunteer to make more speeches! You're not convinced yet? Give it a try and see what happens. |

| Solar energy for your home is coming. It can help you as a single home owner. It can help the whole country as well. Whether or not solar energy can save your money depends on many things. Where you live is one factor and the type of home you have is another. Things like insulation (绝缘材料), present energy costs, and the type of system you buy are added factors. Using solar energy can help save our precious fuel. As you know, our supplies of oil and gas are very limited. There is just not enough on hand to meet all our future energy needs. Sooner or later Mother Nature will say that's all. The only way we can delay hearing those words is by starting to save energy now and by using other sources, like the sun. We won't have to worry about the sun's running out of energy for another several billion years or so. Besides, the sun doesn't offer as many problems as other energy sources. For example, fossil fuel (矿物 燃料) adds to already high pollution levels. With solar energy, we will still need sources of energy, but we won't need as much. That means we can cut down on our pollution problems. With all these good points, why don't we use more solar power? There are many reasons for this. The biggest reason is money. Until now, it was just not practical for a home owner to put in a solar unit. There were cheaper sources of energy. All that is changing now. Solar costs are starting to equal the costs of oil and electricity. Experts say that gas, oil and electricity prices will continue to rise. The demand for electricity is increasing rapidly. But new power plants will use more gas, oil or coal. Already in some places the supply of electricity is being rationed (限量供应). Solar energy is now in its infancy (初期). It could soon grow to become a major part of our nation's energy supply. |
| 1. What's this passage mainly about? |
|
[ ] |
| A. Something about solar energy and pollution. B. Solar energy. C. Energy and pollution. D. Energy and money. |
| 2. Solar energy can help us _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. escape punishment from nature B. become home owners C. get rid of present energy D. save our precious fuel |
| 3. The sun is an endless source of energy, and it will not run out of energy for _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. several million years B. several hundred years C. several billion years D. several thousand years |
| 4. Which of the following statements is TRUE? |
|
[ ] |
| A. Energy from coal would not pollute our living environment. B. Energy from natural gas would not pollute our living environment. C. Energy from the sun would not pollute our living environment. D. Energy from oil would not pollute our living environment. |
| 5. Solar energy is now in its infancy, _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. but in the future it will become an important part of our nation's energy supply B. so we will build more power plants C. and the supply of electricity will be rationed throughout the country D. so we don't need it |

A boy was born to a couple after eleven years of marriage. They were a loving couple and the boy was the apple of their eyes.

It happened to be a poisonous medicine meant for adults in small dosages. When the child collapsed, the mother hurried him to the hospital, where he died. The mother was stunned. She was terrified how to face her husband. When the distrought father came to the hospital and saw the dead child, he looked at his wife and uttered just four words. What do you think were the four words? The husband just said "I love you darling". 3._____ The husband's totally unexpected reaction I proactive behavior. The child is dead. He can never be brought back to life. There is no point in finding fault with the mother. Besides, if only he had taken time to keep the bottle away, this would not have happened. No point in attaching blame. She had also lost her only child. What she needed at that moment was consolation and sympathy from the husband. That is what he gave her. 4._____ Sometimes we spend time asking who is responsible or who is to blame, whether in a relationship, in a job or with the people we know. We miss out some warmth in human relationship in giving each other support. After all, shouldn't forgiving someone we love be the easiest thing in the world to do? Treasure what you have. Don't multiply pain, anguish and suffering by holding on to forgiveness. 5._____ If everyone can look at life with this kind of perspective, there would be much fewer problems in the world. Take off all your envies, jealousies, unwillingness to forgive, selfishness, and fears and you will find things are actually not as difficult as you think. |
