26、 Our body’s response is an important part of an emotional reaction to any event. If you’ve been criticized in public and found your face heated and your heart pounding, you’ve experienced your body’s reaction to shame.
Sometimes what you’re feeling is clear and consistent with what you’re saying. You might say “welcome” as you greet a guest with a smile. But at other times, we mask our emotions from the people around us. There are many reasons to hide how you’re feeling. You don’t want to rock the boat in a strict teachers class or you don’t want to hurt a friend’s feelings. You simply want to smooth situations over.
Even when you don’t communicate your feelings in spoken words, you may still be giving information with your body. Arms across your chest when you approach that new teacher? Looking down when you speak to your friend? These gestures are all important expressions of an emotion. Try understanding what others are communicating with their bodies. Notice things like eye contact, rate of speech and posture. How does their verbal communication match their body language? How about you? Try tuning in to your own body. How do you think others see you? Is that consistent with how you feel? Is it how you want to feel?
Body language communication is a two-way street. It communicates to others what you are feeling, but it also has a powerful effect on your own emotional state. Changing your body and posture can affect how you feel. Sit up in the meeting and you might find yourself more focused. Take a deep breath and you feel less anxious.
The body and your body language is a great field to dig into, especially if hiding how you feel has become habitual for you. Over time, if you become practiced in hiding your feelings, you may begin to hide them from yourself, too. Then the consequence can be losing contact with your own emotions. That’s actually harmful to your mental health.

27、Constantin de Slizewicz has been anxious to come back to China since early 2020.For the past decade, the Frenchman has been running a luxurious (豪华的)camping business in Shangri-La in the southwest of China's Yunnan Province. But in December 2019, he went back to France for a vacation. He usually goes back to France and stays there for two to three months, since there is little business due to the weather.
Following the outbreak of COVID-19, however, he found it difficult to return. Fortunately, his business partner Guillaume de Penfentenyo was able to get a flight to China at the end of February.
Previously, most of his customers were international guests from outside the country who were drawn to the beautiful landscape and scenery in Shangri-La. Despite the pandemic(疫情)and even in his absence, Slizewicz's company managed to attract new tourists, who were unable to travel abroad under the circumstances and discovered the joy of camping. "It makes sure of our operation," he says happily.
Last year, his team offered summer camps in Shangri-La for Chinese students who couldn't travel abroad. In autumn, many domestic travelers also signed up for his company's organized adventures deep into the wilderness.
Slizewicz first visited China in 1996 when he engaged in a three-month internship(实习期). He was impressed by the Chinese people around him and was attracted by places like Guizhou and Yunnan provinces, which were well-matched to his interest in camping-a passion he has had since childhood. "I met people in the mountains, singing and herding their yaks(牦牛). That makes the mountains feel special and alive,” he says.
【1】In which season does Slizewicz usually take a break?
A.In spring.
B.In winter.
C.In autumn.
D.In summer.
【2】Who were Slizewicz's main customers before the pandemic?
A.Chinese students.
B.Visitors from France.
C.Local people.
D.Visitors outside China.
【3】How does Slizewicz feel about his business?
A.Surprised.
B.Thankful.
C.Satisfied.
D.Doubtful.
【4】What's the main reason for Slizewicz's running a camping business?
A.His interest.
B.The friends around him.
C.The popularity of camping.
D.The peaceful life in mountains.

29、 There was a time when a trip to the supermarket in the United States often ended with a simple question from the cashier:“Paper or plastic?”Well, which type of bag would you choose?
Although all types of bags have some influences on the environment, it has long been thought that paper bags are kinder. They are made from a renewable source, break down esily, bum without giving off thick smoke and can be recycled. However, the producing process behind paper bags uses more energy than that of plastic ones.
How can this be true?
Studies show that paper bag production requires four times as much energy as plastic bag production. And the amount of water used to make them is twenty times higher. Besides, the influence on forests is very serious. It takes about fourteen million trees to produce ten billion paper bags, which happens to be the number of bags used in the United States yearly. In terms of recycling, the idea that paper bags are more environment- friendly than plastic ones can be quickly given up. Research shows it requires about 98% less energy to recycle plastic than it does paper.
Even though paper bags might be more harmful than plastic ones, plastic still seems to be considered by governments as the more harmful of the two. In Ireland, for example, a tax has been introduced to discourage the use of plastic bags. People have to pay 22 cents for every plastic bag, and as a result, their use has dropped quickly.
There’s no doubt that it makes more sense to reuse these bags. However, we don’t seem to be doing that at present. That may be because they fall apart quickly. If so,cloth bags are a better choice, but still, their production also has a bad influence on the environment. So what to do? How should we answer the question of“Paper or plastic?” It seems that we first need to ask ourselves one more general question:“What can I do to help the environment?”
【1】What’s commonly believed about paper bags?
A. They are convenient to use and recycle.
B. Producing paper bags doesn’t cost much.
C. They are more environmentally friendly.
D. Paper bags can be used by people for free.

A. Making plastic bags needs more water.
B. Plastic bags have a serious influence on forests.
C. Much less energy is needed when recycling plastic bags.
D. Making paper bags needs as equal energy as plastic ones.
【3】How does the Ireland government discourage the use of plastic bags?
A. Appeal to consumers to uSC paper bags.
B. Reduce the energy in the production of paper bags.
C. Raise people’s awareness of environmental protection.
D. Ask consumcrs for extra money if they usc plastic bags.
【4】What will be probably talked about in the following paragraph?
A. The measures the govemment will take.
B. The disadvantages caused by plastic bags.
C. The action we can take to protect the environment.
D. The differences between plastic bags and paper bags.

A Bad Idea
Think you can walk, dive, take phone calls, e-mail and listen to music at the same time? Well, New York's new law says you can't. And you'll be 【1】 $S100 if you do it on a New York City street.
The law went into force last month, following research and a(n) 【2】number of accidents that involved people using electronic gadgets when crossing the street.

"We are under the impression that our brain can do more than it often can," says Rene Marois, a neuroscientist in Tennessee. “But a major limitation is the inability to【4】on two things at once".
The young people are often considered the great multitaskers. However, an Oxford University research suggests this idea is open to question.

But when both groups were interrupted by a phone call or a(n) 【6】message, the older group matched the younger group in speed and 【7】.
It is difficult to measure the productivity【8】by multitaskers. But it is probably a lot. Jonathan Spire, chief analyst at Basex. a business-research firm, estimates the cost of interruptions to the American economy at nearly $650 billion a year.
The【9】is based on surveys with office workers. The surveys conclude that 28 percent of the workers' time was spent on interruptions and【10】time before they returned to their main tasks.

So 1 spent a lot of time preparing very carefully I prepared for all the possible questions ahead. As a result, 1 got the job. While my classmates were still struggling to get a job, I had succeeded in getting one, which made me feel very proud of myself.
After one month of hard training, Today was my first day at work to show the results of the training. I got up as usual, but I decided to skip doing exercise as I did not want to take the risk of arriving at the office late on my first day. I went through my morning routine and spent a lot of time deciding what to wear. I definitely wanted to make a great impression right from the start. Finally, I settled on the white suit with a tie.
I waved to say goodbye to my mother and set off cheerfully towards the bus stop. But l Saw a bus leaving the stop just as I turned around the corner. Now I would have to wait for another 15 minutes, even though time was very precious. I stood there patiently. 15 minutes passed and then 30 minutes, and there was no sign of the bus. Now what could 1 do? I had to reach the office on time. I saw a motorcycle approaching, but as I tried to stop it, the driver sped on without even a glance. It was then that a car stopped near me and a man waved to me. He said, “Aren’t you working at the bank at Nariman Point? My office is in the same building. Can I give you a ride?”
I was uncertain at first but then forced myself to get in as I was going to be late. Gradually, I realized that we were not on the familiar route to my office. I asked the man to stop the car, but he did not listen to me and told me to shut up.
