【题目】 Do you want to know how someone is feeling? You can look at his or her face to find out. But there might be a better way: Close your eyes. Just listen.

Michael Kraus is a doctor. He did a study. The study shows that people should listen to voices. It is the best way to learn how people feel. The study says just listening is better than just watching someone speak. But it is also better than watching and listening at the same time! It might seem smart to listen to people and watch them at the same time. But Dr. Kraus says this can cause problems. “It might split your attention,” he says.

Dr. Kraus said something else, too. Sometimes, people's faces can hide their feelings. They might not want to show they are sad or mad. It is harder to hide your feelings with your voice. “That might be why listening is the best way to know how someone feels”, Dr. Kraus says. For the study,Dr. Kraus did a few tests. One test used 266 people. They were all strangers. They were put together in pairs to talk to each other. They talked about movies and TV. They also talked about food and drink. The strangers had these talks in two places, both in a room with the lights on and in a dark room. After alking, the people wrote down their own feelings and what they thought their partners felt. What Kraus found was a surprise. People were better at knowing their partner's feelings when the lights were off. Another professor Boris Paskhover did some research and concluded the same results.

Sophie Scott is a communication expert. She works at a university in England. Ms. Scott said the study is interesting. But she does not think it is perfect. Ms. Scott said that other studies have shown other things. Their results were different. Ray Wilkinson is a teacher. He teaches about communication. Mr. Wilkinson’s studies show that people use their bodies to show how they are feeling, too. They might change their face or body movements. They can do this to make a point. Mr.Wilkinson said that sometimes, your words and face do not match. They might send different messages. But that might not be a mistake. Sometimes, people do this on purpose. It can be part of what we are trying to share.

【题目】 Some English words have more than one meaning. These are called multi- meaning words.

Multi-meaning words have the same pronunciation with different meanings. For example, let's look at the word “ball” You could have a “ball” which means you would have a good time. You could toss a “ball” which means you throw an object. You could be on the “ball” which means you know what is happening. You could go to a “ball” which means a dance.

_______Take the word “can”. You “can” ride a bike which means you are able to ride a bike. You have a “can” of soup which means the soup is in a round-shaped holder. You can do the “can-can” which is a dance from the 1920s. And you might get “canned” if you do a poor job at work, which means you might lose your job.

How about “fly”? You can “fly” that is on your food in your house. Or, you can “fly by the seat of your pants” which means you don't make a plan before taking an action. And, you know that the “fly” of the zipper.

There are hundreds of words that are multi-meaning words. The word “set” has more meanings than any other word in the English language. When you have time, why don't you try to think of all the ways the word “set” is used?

If you look at the title of this book Can a Fly, Fly? …you know that the answer is “Yes” because you have seen an insect named a “fly” go up in the air and move around through the air …which is what “fly” means. Can a Fly, Fly? Of course, it can!

1If Tom is often late for work and fails to finish his tasks, he will___________.
