21、A few years ago, I was giving a presentation to the CEO of a company. Through the entire meeting time, the CEO sat at the conference table with his arms tightly crossed without a smile. I was sure that he was not satisfied, but later his assistant told me her boss was impressed with my presentation. Suddenly, I realized that, it was his usual behavior. 【1】 Here are three more: ignoring the context, finding meaning in a single gesture, comparing with a proper culture.

First, context is king. The same nonverbal gestures can take on totally different meanings in different contexts. You can’t really make sense of someone’s nonverbal message unless you understand the circumstances behind it. For example, if you yawn in a staff meeting because you were up early for an international business call, let people know why you’re tired. 【2】

Then, people are constantly trying to evaluate your state of mind by monitoring your body language. But often they will assign meaning to a single nonverbal gesture. Generally speaking, people take more notice of any sign that indicates you’re in a bad mood and not to be approached. 【3】 So, you may be more comfortable standing with your arms folded across your chest, but others judge that single gesture as resistant and unapproachable.

When I talk about culture, I’m referring to a set of shared values that a group of people hold. 【4】 More importantly, they are the kind of criteria by which people judge others. We all have cultural biases that regard some nonverbal behaviors as normal and right and others as strange or wrong. What’s proper and correct in one culture may be ineffective or even rude in another.

【5】 Understanding them, and trying not to make the same ones, will help you display your nonverbal ability.

A．Such values affect how members of the group think and act.

B．Nonverbal signals are very common in our daily life.

C．These are people’s most common mistakes when they read your body language.

D．As with me, when people don’t know your usual behavior they can easily jump to the wrong conclusion.

E．Without this context, you’ll look like you’re just bored.

F．If they don’t know the context, embarrassment will appear.

G．This is because the human brain pays more attention to negative messages than it does to positive ones.

23、   The letter arrives from a school that your son told you is his dream school. You dare not open it，instead，you hand it to him when he arrives home from school. You watch as his eyes light up and you know this is the beginning of something. You are just not sure what. Your son insists that the coach must really want him since he took the time to write him a letter. Is this in fact true？Did he write other kids and if so how many？How would you know？

The simple fact of the matter is that you can read very little into that first letter. Coaches cast a wide net in the first few stages of the recruiting(录取)cycle. That letter may in fact，be the first and last time your son ever hears from that particular coach. Think about it：if he has not seen your sons transcripts or his standardized test scores，if you have not visited the school，if he has no knowledge of your financial needs，can it be anything significant？

So how do you treat these letters or emails？Is there some format you can apply？Say tor instance，three letters mean real interest…or three letters and a call means a greater degree of interest？

My experience in deal with cases of various applications is that answers will not come automatically. Call the coach and find out how real the interest in fact is. "Is my son a top recruit in your mind？" "How many players at his position will you be recruiting this year?" By asking these simple and direct questions，you as a parent，will have established a dialogue and hopefully figured out how much interest，if any really exists. However，here comes the challenge. Applicants and parents are vague with coaches about their intention and level of interest all the time. In fact，the coach's situation is no less confusing than yours. He is fighting a similar battle on multiple choices. There is little clarity on either end.

Enjoy that first letter. Let's hope it is one of many and let's hope you apply a bit of realism with a bit of wishful thinking about how happy your son should be when this is all over.

【1】How did the parent feel about the letter that his son got from his dreamed school？ ______

A.expectant B.hesitant

C.doubtful D.hopeful

【2】According to the passage，by calling the coach，parents can______ .

A.determine the level of interest from coach

B.build up a communication with the coach

C.identify the real intention of the coach

D.understand more about the situation of the coach

【3】The author of the passage is most likely to be ______ .

A.a consultant to help students with their application

B.a parent with similar experiences

C.a school authority that supervises the application

D.a coach in charge of the application

【4】The purpose of the passage is to ______ .

A.remind parents of the importance of the first letter from coaches

B.tell parents how to react to the first letter from coaches

C.advise parents to ignore the first letter from coaches

D.warn parents to be realistic towards the first letter from coaches

24、After working seven years in finance in Chile, I started questioning my career choice. In the man-dominated finance world, it was hard for me to climb the ladder. I decided to make a change. So I left my job, wondering what would be my next step. The following year witnessed me taking various classes to find what I was passionate about until the science of making bread appealed to me, which brought me waves of excitement.

In 2017, my husband and I moved to Lansdale, where I got a certificate from a 12-week general baking program. I had intended to open a bakery, but the high rent and the slight chance of gaining money soon discouraged me from taking a risk. When seeing that baking bread was a locally lost art, I figured that teaching baking classes could be my choice. Yet, my accent and my born shyness put me at disadvantage in public speaking. At the critical moment, my husband was the one who told me, “You can do this. ”

In 2018, I rented space in Lansdale and created Vituperio Artisan Breads &. Studio. I started small by offering free classes, not knowing whether I could make it. To deal with my initial nervousness, I approached teaching like I were an actor until I got myself comfortable in the class. In this way I not only tested myself but also learnt about what those attendants were interested in and capable of, thus attracting more people to my baking classes. All the classes were in person until March 2020, when I had to switch to teaching online. People told me it was a blessing and a joy to be able to make tasty bread during the pandemic.

As an immigrant, I took the initial leap of faith down a new path to start a business from scratch, hard as it might be. Looking forward, I’d like to bring more teens into the studio to give them the skills to consider a career in this field.

A．Her previous experience in finance.

B．The declining house rent in the area.

C．The local people’s desire for baking skills.

D．Her husband’s support at the crucial moment.

【3】How did the author try to get over her early nervousness?

A．Behaving like a performer in class.

B．Pretending to be comfortable in public.

C．Transferring to teaching baking online.

D．Offering small classes to the attendants.

【4】What did the author think about her experience?

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

One evening I was resting in a cafe. I wore a pair of newly bought white leather shoes, which were rather expensive. Then a boy came to me.

He was in an unfit shirt, looking pale and about eleven. At sight of my new leather shoes, his big eyes were bright with hope. No sooner had I begun to speak than he opened the box in his hand and took out the tools of shoe-polishing. He quickly bent down, took off my leather shoes, and began to shine them.

He was busy doing his work when heavy rain began to pour down. People rushed to the café for shelter from the rain. More and more people crowded in and gradually separated the boy from me before I realized it. Hours passed, and it turned dark. I had no shoes on my feet and wondered where the boy had been. I thought he would not return my expensive shoes, and I would have to go home on my bare feet.

When it was near midnight the rain ended, and there were fewer and fewer people in the café. The café was to be closed. I had to move slowly to the door, head lowered. Just as I went to the gate, was surprised to find that a boy of about eleven, looking very familiar, was sleeping at the door with his head leaning against a box and his upper body being bare. He was holding a package made of his shirt tightly in his arms.
