　　[1]Have you ever been in the situation where you really didn't believe what someone was saying? Did you have a sense that something didn't ring true or a feeling that all was not right? Perhaps they were saying “Yes” yet their heads were shaking “ No” ．

　　[2]The difference between the words people speak and our understanding of ________ comes from non－verbal communication, otherwise known as “ body language” ．Body language includes body movements and gestures(1egs，arms，hands，head and body)，posture，muscle tension，eye contact，skin coloring，even people's breathing rate and sweat．Additionally，the tone of voice，the rate of speech and the pitch of the voice all add to the words that are being used．

　　[3] By developing your awareness of the signs and signals of body language，you can more easily understand other people，and more effectively communicate with them．There are sometimes subtle(微妙的)－and sometimes not so subtle－movements，gestures, facial expressions and even shifts in our whole bodies that indicate something is going on．We have ways of talking，walking，sitting and standing and they all say something about us，and whatever is happening on the inside can be reflected on the outside．

　　[4]By becoming more aware of this body language and understanding what it might mean，you can learn to read people more easily．This puts you in a better position to communicate effectively with them．What's more, by increasing your understanding of others，you can also become more aware of the messages that you convey to them．

　　[5] There are times when we send mixed messages－we say one thing yet our body language reveals something different．This non－verbal language will affect how we act and react to others，and how they react to us．Therefore，in order to communicate more effectively，we should learn the signs and signals of body language correctly．

　　[1] The fact that cigarette smoking is dangerous to your health is hardly new information．Cigarette smoking is the single most preventable cause of disease and early death in the United States．So why do so many teens continue to smoke? There are lots of reasons, you usually start for one reason or another and then it is really hard to quit．

　　[2] Nicotine acts in the brain where it can help develop feelings of pleasure, and pleasure feels good! It also will work as an appetite suppressant(抑制剂)for many people; other people believe it relieves stress．This may help explain why it is hard ________．

　　[3] Experimental smoking usually begins the habit．Next comes occasional cigarette smoking at parties, on weekends, with friends or when trying to lose weight．This is the most dangerous stage, because it usually leads to an addictive stage, when teens become regular smokers．People who start smoking before the age of 21 have the hardest time quitting．

　　[4] There is no safe amount of smoking．Every cigarette causes some harm to the body．Once smoke touches the lips, it begins to attack living tissues, and it continues its attack wherever it goes．Cigarette smokers have less ability to carry oxygen to the rest of the body and this is why smokers have less endurance(耐力)when running or participating in sports．

　　[5] Smokers also get wrinkles at an earlier age．The smoke changes the elasticity(弹性)of the skin and fine lines appear around the eyes and mouth．Your clothes and hair will smell from smoke and pretty soon you can no longer smell it．Kissing a smoker is like kissing an ashtray(烟灰缸)．

　　[6] There is no right way to quit smoking, but surely you can do it!

　　[7] If you are thinking about smoking, the only way to avoid getting addicted to cigarettes is never to start in the first place．

　　What makes one person more intelligent than another? What makes one person a genius, like the brilliant Albert Einstein, and another person a fool? Are people born intelligent or stupid, or is intelligence the result of where and how you live? 1．________

　　We know, however, that just being born with a good mind is not enough．In some ways, the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle．2．________ Mental exercise is particularly important for young children．Many child psychologists think that parents should play with their children more often and give them problems to think about．3．________ If, on the other hand, children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do, they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent．

　　4．________ According to some psychologists, if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot, then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things．So it is probably better for parents to say very positive things to their children, such as "That was a very clever thing you did．"or" 5．________"

　　[1] “Having a Sister Makes You Happier” was the headline on a recent article about a study finding that adolescents who have a sister are less likely to have such feelings as “I am unhappy, sad or depressed”．But why?

　　[2] The usual answer that girls and women are more likely than men to talk about emotions is somehow unsatisfying, especially to a researcher like me．Much of my work over the years shows that women's styles of friendship and conversation aren't better than men's by nature, simply different．

　　[3] My own recent research about sisters suggests a more subtle dynamic．Together with my students I interviewed more than 100 women about their sisters, but if they also had brothers, I asked them to make a comparison．Most said they talked to their sisters more often, at greater length and, yes, about more personal topics．This often meant that they felt closer to their sisters, but not always．One woman, for example, says she talks for hours by phone to her two brothers as well as her two sisters．But the topics differ．She talks to her sisters about their personal lives; with her brothers she discusses history, geography and books．And talking for hours creates and reinforces connections with both brothers and sisters, regardless of what they talk about．

　　[4] So the key to why having sisters makes people happier－men as well as women－may lie not in the kind of talk they exchange but in the fact of talk．

　　[5] So maybe it's true that talk is the reason why having a sister makes you happier, but it needn't be talk about emotions．When women told me more often, at greater length and about more personal topics, I suspect it's that first element－more often－that is crucial rather than the last．

1．What is the main idea of this passage?(no more than 8 words)

2．Complete the following statement with proper words．(no more than 8 words)

The answer to why having sisters makes people happier may be _______, not the ways or the content of talking．

4．What's the advantage of women's talking long and often with both their brothers and sisters?(no more than 15 words)

　　[1]Swimming is one of those activities that can be learned early in life．Little children can learn to swim as soon as they walk．In fact, you need the same skills in walking as in swimming．However, I believe that five is the best age to learn．By five or six, a child knows fear of water, a very important thing to know．It's wise to be afraid, to recognize true danger．Young ones understand that the water can sometimes be very dangerous．

　　[2]To really benefit from swimming, every swimmer should learn ________：butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, and crawl．I feel that one of these－the breaststroke－is different from the others, since some young swimmers use this stroke naturally, without any training．

　　[3]In swimming, there are certain rules every swimmer should follow：

　　(1)Never swim alone! No matter how good you are in the water, don't risk drowning by swimming alone．If you swim by yourself, with no life guards or friends with you, you may get into trouble．

　　(2)Don't go beyond your abilities．Most swimmers know enough not to swim too far from the bank or the beach．Showing off by doing dangerous tricks is no good．Swim safely and you will continue to swim and alive．

　　(3)Don't smoke．Swimming depends on a healthy body; good lungs are part of it．

　　(4)Work at any activity that builds muscles．

　　The world's first subway was built in London in 1863．at the time, the government was looking for a way to reduce traffic problems in the city of London．The poor areas of the city were so crowded with people that it was almost impossible for hore carriages to get around．The city officials were interested in trying to make it possible for workers to live outside of Londin and travel easily to work each day．If people had a cheap and convenient way that they could depend on to get to and from work, they would settle down outside of the city．This would help ease the pressure of too many people living in the poor parts in London．From these problems, the idea of the london underground, the first subway system, was born．

　　The plans for building the underground met with several problems and delays, but the first track was finally opened in January 1863．a steam train pulled the cars along the first underground track which was six kilometers long．About 30,000 people got on the subway the first day．Riders were treated to comfortable seats and pleasant decorations inside each of the cars．However, the smoke from the engin soon filled the air in the tunnels with ash and black powder, as well as chemical gases．Fans had to be put in the tunnels later to keep the air clean enough for people to breathe．Even with its problems, riding the underground did become popular．It carried nine million riders in its first year．

　　Modern subways have come a long way since the early days of the London Underground．Today there are 94 large underground rapid transit systems around the world．The busiest of these subway systems is the Tokyo Metro which opened in 1927．This efficient subway has two billion riders per year, and “pushers” work on the platforms during busy traffic hours to help push riders onto trains．At times, subway cars have been packed with up to 300 people! Shopping malls built in high traffic stations where riders move from one train to another have also helped the popularity of subways in Tokyo．Stations like the famous Ginza Sugo Eki Ginza Consolidated Station include underground department stores, suprermarkets, restaurants, and specialty shops．Shoppers never have to go above ground!

　　[1]There are many useful suggestions and pieces of advice that can help one to improve English．Here are some useful suggestions and new tips to increase one's English language vocabulary．

　　[2]Learning English vocabulary is about much more than just learning the right words．A broad grasp of vocabulary in the English language is based on understanding important expressions and “word combinations”, which means groups of words that often or always go together．

　　[3]Learning a word will not help very much if you quickly forget it．Research shows that it takes from 10 to 20 repetitions to really make a word part of your vocabulary．Since most words are learned from how they are used in context(上下文), the more words one is exposed to(接触), ________．Keep a writing pad close to you．When you read, pay close attention to the word you do not know, write the word down and try to figure out its meaning from the context．Then look up the word in a dictionary．

　　[4]Remember that if you do not use English words that you have just learned in conversation or writing, you will forget them very quickly．So the best way to learn new words effectively is just by trying to use them in conversation and writing．Remember also that practice is the key to fluent spoken English．

　　[5]Building vocabulary is a life-long task．Remember, “In the beginning was the word．” Your future could depend on how rich your vocabulary is．It will also determine the quality of your communication．
