23、   There is nothing worse than being cheated. Now body language expert Judi James tells you the key signs to find out whether someone is telling a lie. Here are some ways to help you.

The long stop: Telling a lie is quite difficult for the body and brain to deal with. First your brain produces the truth. Then, you have to hide the truth and invent a lie. After that, you tell the lie. This often leads to a longer stop before answering.

The eye dart: Humans have more eye expressions than any other animal and our eyes can look around if we're trying to hide something. When we look up to our left, we're often recalling memory. But when our eyes roll up to our right, we are thinking new ideas. Also, the guilt(内疚)of a lie often makes people use an eye contact cut-off gesture, such as looking down or away.

The lost breath: Bending the truth causes a sudden stress response in most people. The mouth dries, the body sweats more, the pulse rate (心率) becomes quick and the rhythm of the breathing changes to shorter, shallower breaths that can often be both seen and heard.

The poker face: Some people prefer to have the poker face, because they think less is more and almost show less movement and eye contact when they are telling lies.

The face hide: When someone tells a lie they often want to hide their face from their audience. This can lead to a cut-off gesture like nose-touch or mouth-cover.

Self-comfort touches: People often move from side to side, touch their hair or play with wedding rings when they have stress. Most people use self-comfort gestures but this will increase greatly when someone is lying.

【1】Why do people have a long stop before telling a lie?

A. Because they have stress.

B. Because they are recalling memory.

C. Because they don't want to say anything.

D. Because they are thinking of a lie instead of the truth.

【2】What may people do if they have the feeling of guilt?

A. Their eyes look around. B. They look down or away.

C. They look up to their left. D. Their eyes roll up to their right.

【3】What may people do when they feel stressful suddenly?

A. They have the poker face. B. They have less movement.

C. Their hearts beat more quickly. D. They have more eye expressions.

【4】How many key signs of telling lies are written in the passage?

A. 4. B. 5. C. 6. D. 7.

【5】The writer wants to tell us…

A. the problem of telling lies. B. the reason why people tell lies.

C. the importance of body language. D. the ways to discover people telling lies.

24、   A young boy was playing happily in front of his house when an old wise man turned up. The old man took him to a large rock and asked the boy to push against it with all his strength.（力量）

A neighbor saw this and said to him, “You have been pushing against the rock for a long time,but it hasn’t moved. So, the task is impossible and you are a failure.” These words cut like a knife into the boy’s heart.

Why am I failing?” “ my boy, I told you to push against the rock with all your strength. Never did I ask you to move it. Remember: your task was to push. Look at yourself—your arms are strong; your back is shiny and brown; your hands are callused（使生茧）from constant pressure. Your abilities now surpass what you used to have. It is true that you haven’t moved the rock. But your task was to push and to exercise your faith. You have done a good job.”
