【题目】根据短文理解,选择正确答案。
There are two main types of nonverbal communication. Body language is the first. Body language is body movements that depend on a person's attitude or feelings. Body language includes the way people walk,how they stand,and their facial features. In other words,any kind of meaning is shown by a person's attitude or body movements. For example,when a boy is sad he may drop his head and walk slowly. Or,if a girl is happy,she might run and jump or stand up straight and put her hands in the air. People don't have to say anything to show how they feel about things. The colour of people's skin may even show how they feel. For example,if people with light coloured skin get embarrassed,their skin may turn red,or if they are worried,they might get pale. Body language can be voluntary(主动的) or involuntary(无意识的).An interesting fact is that blind children will smile when happy even though they have never seen a smile.
The next main type of nonverbal communication is gestures. Gestures are communications like facial expressions,hand signals,eye gazing,and body postures. Examples include smiles,handshakes,waving,and raising certain fingers to say something. For instance,if you saw a friend at a noisy carnival,you might smile and wave at your friend. You might also point at the Ferris wheel if you wanted to meet your friend there. You could do all of these things without saying a word. Another great example is in baseball when the catcher signals to the pitcher the kind of pitch to use for the batter that is up.
(1)If a boy passes the final exam he ________.
A.might not raise his head
B.might walk home slowly
C.might run home singing
D.might not stand there straight
(2)When someone gets pale he is most likely to be ______.
A.anxious
B.surprised
C.embarrassed
D.disappointed
(3)Which one of the following is WRONG according to this passage?
A.Body language is mainly expressed by one's body movements.
B.The blind children can also smile when they are glad.
C.You can also express yourself without saying a word in baseball.
D.Gestures can be shown only by one's hands.
(4)All the following are gestures except ________.
A.hand signals
B.coloured skin
C.hand wave
D.eye gazing

After having room service three nights at a hotel in Houston, however, I needed to get out of my room. Although the restaurant opened at 6:30, I arrived at 6:25.

Then another waiter came out of the kitchen and had a wonderful chat with me. Before I left that night, some other waiters, even the cook, had come out of the kitchen and sat with me!

【题目】根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Many arguments teenagers have with their parents are about one thing: independence. As you get older, you’ll want to do more stuff on your own, without your mom and dad tagging along with you. The arguments generally start when your parents think you aren’t ready for extra responsibility while you think you are. Arguing with your parents isn’t the best solution at all, but the best solution is gaining trust from your parents. 1

●Understand that it’s not your parents who do not want you to have independence, they want the best for you and think you’re not ready or you’ll hurt yourself if you have the freedom to do whatever you want. Show your parents you can be sensible. 2If you can’t get home by 9:30, they’ll never let you out after 10:00.

●Agree with them some “friends time” and some “family time” so that they know you won’t be spending your whole weekend out with your friends. 3They won’t imagine you getting into trouble if they know how they are.

4 They won’t feel much worried letting you go off on your own if they know what you’re up to. Call in and tell your parents that you’re OK from time to time. The less they worry about you, the more independence you’ll gain.

5If they find out, all that trust will be destroyed and then you'll never get the extra independence you ever wanted.

A. Show your parents how independent you are.

B. Never lie to your parents about where you’re going.

C. Remember to ask for your parents’ help if you need it.

D. Always tell your parents where you are, and who you’re with.

E. Generally speaking, they won’t be worried about increasing your independence.

F. And before you enjoy the “friends time' introduce your friends to your parents.

G. Agree a time you’ll be home with your parents, and always make sure you keep to it.
