22、If the eyes are the windows of the soul, then the body is the mirror of our feelings. If we are feeling great, we may give our body signals(信号). If we look at someone else’s body, we can often tell how they are feeling by their body signals. So reading body language signals is a great tool in daily communication.

In case(假使) you don’t think that learning how to read and use body language is important, here are some numbers for you. 7% of the information we receive is from what people actually say, and 38% of the information we receive is from the tone(语气) and the speed of their voice; while 55% of the information we receive is from their body language.

These non-verbal(非口头的) signals will help you a lot, but you still need to focus on what people are saying. If you focus too much on their body language signals, you and the person may feel uncomfortable. It is useful to be able to read people’s body language, but it is useful to learn how to send the right signals and avoid the wrong signals too. Body language may be given several interpretations. Many signals have different meanings, depending on the person and the situation. Be sure of it when you are trying to read a body language signal.

【1】The numbers mentioned in the second paragraph are to ___________.

A．explain what body language is

B．show the importance of body language

C．tell us body language is less used than verbal language

D．tell us body language is the only tool in communication

【2】What is the meaning of the underlined sentence in the last paragraph?

A．Body language is widely used all over the world

B．Body language can be explained in different ways.

C．It’s too hard to understand the meanings of body language

D．People have already looked through many books on body language.

【3】According to the writer, body language is very ___________.

A．simple to learn

B．negative to be used

C．hard to understand

D．helpful in communication

【4】According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?

A．Body language is uncomfortable.

B．What people are saying is not important

C．Body language can show your emotion.

D．To send wrong signals is not body language

【5】We can infer(推断) that the writer will most probably talk about __________ next.

A．what the wrong body language signals are

B．examples of how to understand body language correctly.

C．numbers about how many people wrongly use body language

D．an analysis (分析) of why people wrongly understand body language

23、When I was a boy my mum used to say I would read the back of a medicine bottle if I didn’t have a book in my hand. It was true, and even now that reading habit has been with me, I always have at least one book being read, sometimes I might have two or three. And I’m talking about real books, books made out of paper, books that you can hold in your hand, to read, at the table, on the subway or my favorite place to read-in the bath.

But the number of people reading books is dropping. A recent survey tells us that Chinese people only read 4.77 printed books a year on average and in the US, 25 percent of the population say they didn’t read a book last year! So what’s stopping people from reading?

The answer of course is the huge influence that technology has had on our life. Why read a book when you can watch a movie or TV play on your smart phones or iPads? For younger people, books may not be as exciting as online games. With stories you have to work at it, closely follow the turns of the plot (情节). There are no shortcuts with a book. You have to turn page after page.

But you can still get lost in a book. We all have this thing called imagination. It’s much more powerful than any computer; in fact, it’s worth remembering that any online game was first written in words as a story by its writer. It’s all about his or her or their imagination.

So we need to read-if we do not read, it will be hard for us to improve our ability to think widely, to have an imagination. Reading is a process in which we need to compare and connect other things we have read and seen in the past. If you do not read, this will not only influence your study, but also your social life in the future.

So why not follow me from now on? Run a hot bath, or find a comfortable chair and read a good book for a few hours-there are quite many, for free, in your local library.

【1】What’s the main idea of Paragraph 1?

A．The writer used to enjoy playing with a medicine bottle.

B．The writer has had the reading habit since his childhood.

C．The writer always has two or three books in his hand.

D．The writer often reads books at a table on the subway.

【2】The number of people reading books is dropping because ______.

A．books are becoming less interesting

B．technology has greatly influenced our life

C．25% of Americans don’t read books

D．there aren’t enough printed books to read

【3】What does the word “shortcuts” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean in Chinese?

A．捷径

B．理念

C．缺点

D．短文

【4】According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?

A．Reading can help to develop our imagination.

B．All online games were first written in words.

C．We need to think a lot while reading a book.

D．Younger people prefer books to online games.

【5】In the last paragraph, the writer mainly suggests that we should ______.

A．run a hot bath to read books

B．borrow books from the library

C．read more books in our life

D．read books in a comfortable chair

24、   In Japan, the appearance(出现)of the cherry blossoms(花), called sakura in Japanese, marks the beginning of spring, and the Japanese as well as visitors to Japan are eagerly waiting for them.

This year, The Japan Meteorological Corporation(日本气象厅)says that the sakura flowers will bloom(开花)a little earlier than usual. In Tokyo, they may bloom on March 23, and in Kyoto on March 24.

Like every year(except for in Okinawa, where the trees bloom very early), it will be in Kochi, on Shikoku Island, that you can see the first cherry blossoms of the season. In 2019, the beginning of the flowering period is scheduled(预定)for March 17, with the first day of full bloom is March 25.

●KYOTO—March 24

●OSAKA—March 26

●KAGOSHIMA—March 28

●KANAZAWA—April 2

●AOMORI—April 24

●SAPPORO—May 4

But people need to know that the flowering times are a little bit different every year because of the weather. Cold, hot, or rainy days will certainly affect(影响)when the flowers bloom and for how long.
