    THIS sign was found in the front yard of a house in the US. The people living here want to let their dog play outside and ensure it won't run into the street. So, they hired a company to set up an "invisible fence", an electric wire buried in the ground around the yard. The dog wears a special collar and when it walks near to the "fence", the wire will send out a small shock. The dog quickly learns to stay away from the edge of the yard. As it says at the bottom of the sign, the fence will keep your dog "safe" (away from the street) and "at home" (contained inside the yard).

    The small word "BRAND" printed in blue means that "Invisible Fence" is registered as the company's brand name. Similarly, the "TM" printed after "your dog safe at home" stands for "trade mark", a slogan registered specifically to one company.

    A. to let their dog play outside their house    B. to keep their dog away from the edge of the yard

    B. The "invisible Fence" is a brand name of a company.

    C. Without the special collar, the fence won't work on the dog.

    For many years, no one could communicate with people who had been born without learning. These deaf people were not able to use a spoken language.

           But, beginning in the 1700s, the deaf were taught a special language. Using this language, they could share thoughts and ideas with others. The language they used was a language without sound. It was a sign language.

           How did this sign language work?  The deaf were taught to make certain movements with their hands, faces and bodies. These movements stood for things and ideas. A man might move his finger across his lips. This meant, “You are not telling the truth.” He might tap his chin (下巴, 下颚)with three fingers. This meant “my uncle”.

           The deaf were also taught to use a finger alphabet（字母表）. They used their fingers to make letters of the alphabet. In this way, they spelled out words. Some deaf people could spell out words at a speed of 130 words per minute.

           Sign language and finger spelling are not used as much as they once could. Today, the deaf are taught to understand others by watching their lips. They are also taught how to speak.

    The passage is mainly about ___ .

    how the deaf communicate with others

    teaching the deaf to speak with their mouths

    learning how to spell words with one’s hands

    how sign languages came into being

    there is still no way to communicate with the deaf

    B. the deaf must have special teachers to teach them

    B. The deaf could understand sign languages even if they had not learned them

    Face-to-face communication involves much more than the spoken word．In fact, we often communicate our feelings to others through our body language without realizing we are doing so．We communicate through posture, gesture and facial expression．But the eyes also play an important part in this unspoken language．William Shakespeare called the eyes "a window to the soul," and you can learn to look through that window and better understand a person's body language by reading eye movement．
    Begin a conversation and ask a simple question．Watch carefully for eye movement during the response．If the person looks up, he or she is thinking or forming pictures．This is also a sign of a visual thinker．Looking up and to the left shows recalling a memory, while looking up and to the right could show imaginative construction or lying．
    If the person looks down, this could be a sign of obedience or even blame．Looking down and to the left can show a person talking to themselves．Looking down and to the right can show that they are feeling strong emotion．
    Looking sideways can indicate distraction or checking out a potential threat, hut a sideways glance can also show anger．In addition, eyes that look side to side often show shiftiness and lying．
    A glance usually indicates a desire for something．Glancing at a door could show a desire to leave the room, while a glance, at a person could indicate a desire to talk to them．A glance is also used when it is forbidden to look at something．
    A person who is lying to you may hold eye contact longer than normal．In addition, this person might smile with his mouth but not with his eyes．Smiling with the eyes is difficult to do if the emotion is not genuine．
    Rapid blinking（眨）of the eyes can occur when a person is thinking, and this can also be another sign of lying．Again, a person who is aware of this sign might overcompensate and stare．
    【小题1】．The writer supported his argument in the first paragraph by __    __．

    A．using a quotationB．defining the body language
    C．telling a story of William ShakespeareD．making a comment on eyes
    【小题2】．Which of the following eye movement shows a dishonest speaker?
    A．If he looks up and to the left．
    B．If he looks up and to the right．
    C．If he looks down and to the left．
    D．If he looks down and to the right．
    【小题3】．Which eye movement cannot hide your feelings?
    A．Looking side to side．B．Blinking the eyes quickly．
    C．Smiling with the eyes．D．Maintaining a prolonged eyes contact．
    【小题4】．The writer wrote this passage to __    __．
    A．introduce the different meanings of the body languages
    B．teach us how to use eyes to express ourselves
    C．explain the importance of body languages
    D．tell us how to read eye movement
