26、   Mr. Garcia, a businessman from Madrid, Spain, is speaking English to one of his customers, Mr. Patton, from Vancouver, Canada. Mr. Garcia slowly approaches Mr. Patton. 【1】. This slow dance continues throughout the conversation until Mr. Patton is against the wall.

What is going on here? Probably a misunderstanding in body language.

Body language is one kind of nonverbal communication which plays a key role in communication.【2】.

For example, in the above case, Spanish speakers enjoy a much closer speaking distance than English speakers.

Another example is eye contact. In many American Indian and East Asian cultures, respect is shown by not looking directly into the eyes.【3】. Because anything less than full eye contact is considered disrespectful or even devious in their culture.

Sometimes gestures used in different languages have contrary meanings.【4】. In Vietnam and China, the gesture for “come here” is quite similar to that of waving “good-bye” in English. Thus, when speakers of these two cultures are leaving each other, fun things may happen.

【5】. The best way to learn gestures for any language or culture is to stay a while in a foreign country to learn not only what people say but how they say it.

A．The latter slowly steps away.

B．Body language is very important.

C．This can produce a humorous effect.

D．But it is not the same in all cultures.

E．Mr. Patton walks slowly in the room.

F．For Western Europeans, the opposite is true.

G．Learning body gestures is rather difficult from textbooks.

27、In its reaction to reports that its Kindle business is exiting the Chinese mainland market, Amazon said customers can still buy Kindle devices through online and offline, while some of its devices have been sold out in the mainland.

No one knows whether customers bought all its products or the company produced too few, leading to the sellout, but it is obvious that Kindle has shut down several online sales channels, forcing many in China to put their Kindles up for sale.

On the other hand, Data shows the number of digital readers was higher than before. The total market value of the digital reading industry grows 21.8 percent over that in 2019.

The reason for the industry’s growth even as Kindle drops is the Smartphone existing everywhere. When it can meet most daily needs, why would one want a Kindle device? In fact, all electronic devices that specialize in single functions are fading out, be it Kindle, MP3 or MP4 players. Even tablets account for only one-tenth of mobile devices sales because one cannot use one to make a phone call.

Besides, Kindle itself has problems. The electronic books that can be bought are expensive, while Kindle Unlimited, a program that allows customers to read any number of eBooks for a monthly subscription (订阅) fee, seldom includes new titles.

In a nutshell, while electronic reading is a booming (繁荣的) market, the market for electronic reading devices is shrinking. That’s why many jokes that the only function left for a Kindle device is to act as a cover for a steaming cup of instant noodles.

Of course, Kindle offers some very good professional resources for scholars, while also allowing users to install an electronic dictionary to let them read in different languages. That’s why many users are saddened and hope Kindle docs not disappear forever. Maybe Kindle can find a way to reinvent itself and continue serving its customers.

【1】Why have the Kindle devices been sold out according to the passage?

A．The reason is unknown.

B．Too many offline private deals.

C．Kindles are out of stock presently.

D．The government takes some measures.

【2】What can we know about electronic devices?

A．Tablets provide call function.

B．MP3 and MP4 are more popular.

C．Smartphones are multifunctional.

D．Kindles are equipped with the latest books.

【3】What does the underlined word “shrinking” in paragraph 6 mean?

A．Increasing.

B．Disappearing.

C．Promoting.

D．Decreasing.

【4】What can we know from the last paragraph?

A．Users are disappointed with Kindle.

B．Kindle must reinvent itself to get back.

C．Kindles will quit from market for ever.

D．Electronic dictionaries can’t be got in Kindle.

28、When I was about 12 years old, my older brother, James, smuggled (偷运) a BB gun into the house. Our parents had told us many times that we were not allowed to bring home guns or knives, even if they were just toys. Having any form of weaponry (兵器) in our home was strictly forbidden.

James brought me to his room. He opened his closet door and look out a shoebox that was buried beneath a heap of clothes. The BB gun was inside. I was immediately attracted by the shiny barrel (枪管).

“Can I shoot it, James?” I asked, hopefully.

“No way,” James said, taking it from me and putting it back.

One day, when no one was home, I went into Jame’s closet and took it out. For some incomprehensible reason -- I have no idea what I was thinking I went to the front window of the second floor in our row house. I cracked the window open. I pointed the gun outside and shot. I quickly shut the window and looked outside secretly.

In a matter of seconds, old Mr. Schlosberg came out of his grocery store. He looked back at his store window. He looked up the street. He looked down the street. Then he looked straight across to our house.

Thankfully, James made it home before Mother or Father.

As he stepped through the door, I could hear old Mr. Schlosberg call his name. “James, James,” he called. “Come here, son.”

After several minutes, James ran back across the street and into the living room. I had retreated into the kitchen. “Alma!” he screamed. “Get out here! You cracked Mr. Schlosberg’s window with my BB gun!”

“Oh, please, James,” I begged. “Don’t let him tell Mother. She will hit my bottom real good!” James sighed. He wiped my tears and went back across the street to Mr. Schlosberg’s. I don’t know what James said to that man, but there was never a mention of the incident again.

Years later, I found out James had used the money he got from his newspaper route to pay for Mr. Schlosberg’s cracked window. He only got one cent for every paper he delivered. He managed to pay back the debt just before he went off to fight in World War II.

Since that day, I have never touched a gun: a BB gun, a water gun, a real gun, or any other type.

【1】The word “retreated” in the middle of the passage is closest in meaning to “_________”.

【2】What did Alma expect from James after he shot Mr. Schlosberg’s window?

A．To deal with the problem.

B．To talk with his parents.

C．To throw away the gun.

D．To tell the truth.

【3】Which of the following best describes James as a brother?

A．Responsible and strict.

B．Brave and determined.

C．Responsible and caring.

D．Naughty and determined.

【4】The best title of the passage is

A．A Warmhearted Brother

B．A BB Gun

C．A Cracked Window
