| When you don't speak, you may be still communicating. It is true that you may not wish to say anything. But your very silence may show your wish to be left alone or to stay uninvolved (不参与的), which is the message you want to send. So it has been said that while we speak with our vocal organs (发声器官), we converse with our whole bodies. All of us communicate with one another nonverbally, as well as with words. Sometimes we know what we're doing, as with the use of gestures such as the thumbs-up sign to indicate (表明) that we approve (赞成).But most of the time we're not aware (意识到的) that we are doing it. Body language serves a variety of purposes. Firstly it can replace verbal communication, as with the use of gesture. Secondly, it can modify (修饰) verbal communication. Loudness and tone of voice is an example here. Thirdly it regulates (约束) social interaction: taking turns is largely governed by non-verbal signals. Fourthly it conveys (表达) our emotions. Finally it conveys our attitude towards ourselves and towards the people we are communicating with. This is particularly important for successful cross-cultural communications. Every culture has its own body language. So in order to achieve a more successful cross-cultural communication, we heed (留意) not only what to say but also how to say it appropriately. Observation shows that a truly bilingual (会说两种语言的) person switches (转换) his body language at the same time he switches languages. |

| 3. It is implied that a more successful cross-cultural communication can be achieved _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. if we keep the same body language B. if we verbally express ourselves clearly C. if we change our body language at the same time we change our words D. if we change our body language from time to time |
| 4. Body language varies _____. |
|
[ ] |

| Alzheimer's disease affects millions of people around the world. American researchers say the disease will affect more than one hundred million people worldwide by the year twenty fifty. That would be four times the current (现在的) number. Researchers and doctors have been studying Alzheimer's patients for a century. Yet the cause and cure for the mental (智力的) sickness are still unknown. However, some researchers have made important steps towards understanding it. Several early signs of the disease involve (涉及) memory and thought processes. At first, patients have trouble remembering little things. Later, they have trouble remembering more important things, such as the names of their children. There are also some physical tests that might show who is at risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. The tests look for proteins (蛋白质) in brain and spinal cord fluid (脊髓). The proteins appear to be found only in people with the disease. The protein tests correctly identify (确定) the presence of the disease in about ninety percent of patients. Now, a much simpler physical test to predict Alzheimer's risk has been developed. Researchers found that trouble with the sense of smell can be one of the first signs of Alzheimer's disease. Using this information, they developed a test in which people were asked to identify twelve familiar smells. These smells included cinnamon (桂皮), black pepper, chocolate, paint thinner (涂料稀释剂), and smoke. The study continued for five years. During this period, the same people were asked to take several tests measuring their memory and thought abilities. Fifty percent of those who could not identify at least four of the smells in the first test had trouble with their memory and thinking in the next five years. Another study has shown a possible way to reduce a person's chances of developing Alzheimer's disease in old age. Researchers in Chicago found that people who use their brains more often are less likely to develop Alzheimer's disease. Those who read a newspaper, or play chess or word games are about three times less likely to develop the condition. Researchers say they still do not know what causes Alzheimer's disease. But they say these findings might help prevent the disease in the future. |

| Trees are useful to man in three very important ways: they provide him with wood and other products; they give him shade, and they help to prevent droughts (干旱) and floods. Unfortunately, in many parts of the world man has not realized that the third of these services is the most important. In his eagerness (渴望) to draw quick profit from the trees, he has cut them down in large numbers, only to find that without them he has lost the best friends he had. Two thousand years ago a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to build warships, with which to gain itself an empire (帝国). It gained the empire but, without its trees, its soil became hard and poor. When the empire fell to pieces, the country found itself faced by floods and starvation. Even though a government realizes the importance of a plentiful supply of trees, it is difficult for it to persuade the villager to see this. The villager wants wood to cook his food with, and he can earn money by making charcoal (木炭) or selling wood to the townsman (城市居民). He is usually too lazy or too careless to plant and look after trees. So unless the government has a good system of control, or can educate the people, the forests will slowly disappear. This does not only mean that the villager's sons and grandsons have fewer trees. The results are even more serious. For where there are trees their roots break the soil up-allowing the rain to sink in and also hold the soil, thus preventing it being washed away easily, but where there are no trees, the soil becomes hard and poor. The rain falls on hard ground and flows away on the surface, causing floods and carrying away with it the rich topsoil, in which crops grow so well. When all the topsoil is gone, nothing remains but a worthless desert. |
