    Perhaps the most famous theory, the study of body movement, was suggested by Professor Ray Birdwhistell. He believes that physical appearance is often culturally programmed. In other words, we learn our looks—we are not born with them. A baby has generally informed face features. A baby, according to Birdwhistell, learns where to set the eyebrows by looking at those around-family and friends. This helps explain why the people of some areas of the United States look so much alike, new Englanders or Southerners have certain common face features that cannot be explained by genetics(遗传学). The exact shape of the mouth is not set at birth, it is learned after. In fact, the final mouth shape is not formed until well after new teeth are set. For many, this can be well into grown-ups. A husband and wife together for a long time often come to look alike. We learn our looks from those around us. This is perhaps why in a single country area where people smile more than those in other areas. In the United States, for example, the South is the part of the country where the people smile most frequently. In New England they smile less, and in the western part of New York State still less. Many southerners find cities such as New York cold and unfriendly, partly because people on Madison Avenue smile less than people on Peachtree Street in Atlanta. Georgia. People in Atlanta, Georgia. People in largely populated areas also smile and greet each other in public less than people in small towns do.

    A. before birth                                          B. as soon as one’s teeth are newly set

    3. Ray Birdwhistell can tell what area of the United States a person is from by _______.

    A. how much he or she laughs             B. how he or she raises his or her eyebrows

    The prestigious (久负盛名) Peking University and Tsinghua University held graduation ceremonies on the same day this year. The presidents of the two universities delivered excellent speeches at the ceremonies as they used words, phrases or ways of expression that are very popular on the Internet currently. At the same time, graduation speeches by other university presidents were also under the spotlight for the same reason. Their speeches were warmly welcomed by students as they contained many fashionable words today, such as "floating clouds" ( meaning "too small and of little importance to mention") and "gelivable" (meaning " very helpful") . In the speeches , these university presidents recalled campus life together with students and finally moved all the audiences. They were very different from the usual run of lectures.

         Many university presidents have changed their regular manner of addressing graduation ceremonies from an advising and preaching (说教) mode to a more fashionable and funny approach. They try to use those words popular among young people in their speeches.

         In the past, university presidents' speeches were criticized for being too standard and lacking sentiment. Now , they quote fashionable words in their addresses, reflecting they are starting to adopt more everyday attitudes to students. The use of these new expressions has triggered a heated discussion. It focuses on the question of whether university presidents should speak in an informal way at graduation ceremonies.

         Supporters agree with the new approach. They consider it good to build close ties with students by using the youth's own words. Opponents argue the new ways have no practical value or significance for education but are merely to please those leaving university.

    1.What would be the best title for this passage?

        A. Should University Heads Use Terms of Youth

        B. Must University Presidents Learn to Please Students

        C. Must University Presidents Meet Students' Needs

        D. Should University Heads Use Newly-created Words

    2.What can we infer from the passage?

        A. University presidents consider it good to build close ties with students.

        B. More and more students are eager to make speeches in public.

        C. The new ways of making speeches are popular with the young.

        D. University presidents have special opinions about the world.

    3.What dose the underlined word "triggered " in Paragraph 3 probably mean ?

    A. Break off     B. Set off      C. Sum up      D. Focus on

    4.Which of the following is true according to the passage?

    A. Many people are likely to be influenced by the Internet.

    B. The writer thinks it necessary for us to follow the traditional customs.

    C. More and more words are changing with the development of technology.

    D. People argue about whether to use fashionable words on formal occasions.
