26、Four most important eye expressions

The language of our eyes is one of the most powerful and useful tools of non-verbal (非语言的) communication. 【1】 Here are four most important eye expressions that we see every day.

1. Smiling eyes

Researchers have long noticed that a sincere smile starts with our eyes. When we are sincerely happy, the skin around the corners of our eyes crinkles (出现皱纹). But a social, polite smile touches only our lips (嘴唇). 【2】 For example, when a shop assistant smiles at you, offering help, you will immediately get the feeling that they are just trying to sell you something

2. 【3】

People who avoid eye contact during a conversation are often considered as insincere. What does little or no eye contact mean then? Anything from shyness to nervousness.

3. Friendly eyes

When you are carrying on a conversation, looking the speaker straight in the eyes sends a clear message to him: 【4】 This is why so many public speaking experts advise keeping eye ntact with the speaker.

4. “Shut” eyes

Covering the eyes for a long period of time sends a message that you are trying to block out something that you do not want to hear. For example, a man who is asked to work on the weekend may cover his eyes with his fingers as he answers, “No problem.” 【5】.

A．Shy eyes

B．Empty eyes

C．Such behavior is seen with liars.

D．You are paying attention to the talk.

E．The smile you are given is not in the eyes.

F．What his gestures are showing is that he is not happy about it at all.

G．So it is important to learn how to read the body language of the eyes.

27、We all have things that we want to achieve in our lives-getting into the better shape, building a successful business, raising a wonderful family, and so on.【1】, At least, this is how I approached my life goals until recently.

What I’m starting to realize, however, is that when it comes to actually getting things done and making progress in the areas that are important to you, there is a much better way to do things. It all comes down to the difference between goals and systems.【2】 Your system is the writing schedule that you follow each week. Now for the really interesting question: If you completely ignored your goals and focused only on your system,would you still get tcstilts? I think you would.

【3】 In the last 12 months, I’ve written over 115, 000 words. The typical book is about 50, 000 to 60, 000 words, so I have written enough to fill two books this year. All of this is such a surprise because I never set a goal for my writing. I didn’t measure my progress in relation to some benchmark. 【4】 1 never said, “I want to write two books this year.” What I did focus on was writing one article every Monday and Thursday. I focused on my system and the process of doing the work. And after sticking to that schedule for 11 months, the result was 115, 000 words. In the end,I enjoyed the same (or perhaps better) results.

Goals are good for planning your progress and systems are good for actually making progress.Goals can provide direction and even push you forward in the short term, but eventually a well-designed system will always win. Having a system is what matters. 【5】

A．None of this is to say that goals are useless.

B．If you’re a writer, your goal is to write a book.

C．Forget about predicting the future and build a system.

D．I never set a word count goal for any particular article.

E．Committing to the process is what makes the difference.

F．And for most of us, the path to those things starts by setting a specific goal.

G．As an example, I just added up the total word count for the articles I’ve written this year.

28、   Jo Du was being helped into her beautiful white wedding dress this week when a tooth on the zipper (拉链) broke. It was Sunday in Guelph, Ontario, and no tailor (裁缝) shop was open.

Jo Du didn't want to marry Earl Lee with pins (别针) in the back of her dress. But no one in the wedding party knew how to make the repair.

The best man knocked on a neighbor's door to ask David Hobson if he might have a pair of scissors they could borrow. Mr. Hobson said, “I've got better than tools. I've got a tailor.”

David Hobson had a family of Syrian refugees (难民) living in his home for a few days: a mother, father, and 3 children.

The father of the Syrian family was Ibrahim Halil Dudu. He was a tailor in Syria for 28 years, and as soon as he saw the dress, Ibrahim Dudu got out his sewing (缝) tools and set to work.

“He really sewed her wedding dress back onto her,” Lindsay Coulter, the wedding photographer, told CTV News. “Everyone was so thankful. They said thank you a million times.”

“Every weekend I take photos of people on the happiest days of their lives, and today one man who has seen some of the worst things our world has to offer came to help,”said Lindsay Coulter, who posted photos and wrote on her Facebook page.

“I was so excited and so happy,” Ibrahim Halil Dudu said through a translator.“I like to help Canadian people from my heart.”

Earl Lee called the tailor's skillful repair, an “unbelievable act of kindness”from a“complete stranger who had only stepped foot in this country days ago.”

【1】What was a big problem for Jo Du?

A.It was not easy for her to find some pins.

B.Her wedding dress had to be repaired soon.

C.She didn't know where to buy a new zipper.

D.There was something wrong with her scissors.

【2】How did Hobson help Jo Du?

A.He introduced a tailor to her.

B.He lent a pair of scissors to her.

C.He helped her find the best man.

D.He helped organize her wedding.

【3】Who solved Jo Du's problem in the end?

A.Earl Lee.

B.David Hobson.

C.Ibrahim Dudu.

D.Lindsay Coulter.

【4】What can we infer about Lindsay Coulter?

A.She worked as a translator.

B.She felt sorry for the tailor.

C.She was a refugee from Syria.

D.She was a news reporter.

29、   Since September about 11m hectares of Australia have been in flames. This year’s fires are the worst on record, with at least 26 people dead, about half-billion animals burned alive, and over 2300 homes destroyed. Australians of all species are suffering the most. But the fires have serious consequences for the rest of the world, too.

New Zealand, one of Australia’s closest neighbors, is feeling the effects of the bushfires. The most important effect of the fires might be on the country’s glaciers, about which Helen Clark, New Zealand’s former prime minister, tweeted: “Australian bushfires have created haze in New Zealand with particular impact on the South Island yesterday and now spreading more widely. Impact of ash on glaciers is likely to speed melting.” Melting glaciers could open up a future none of us wants to suffer.

There’s no such thing as weather that happens in isolation. As a recent Forbes article reports, fires have the potential to not only block visibility for airplanes, grounding them, but to create pockets of hotter or colder air, or create situations where the weather is increasingly less stable — although no one is yet certain how far from the Australian continent those effects might wander, or how harmful they may prove to be.

In addition to coal, Australia also exports all kinds of agricultural products — like beef and wool—particularly to Asian countries including China and Japan. But what happens when the land it uses to grow all that food and fiber is destroyed by fire? Obviously, no more goods to export, which creates a huge problem in the international supply chain. Thanks to globalization, pretty much no country eats only the food it grows. What happens to the global food supply as agricultural land in Australia and other export nation’s burns to a crisp?

【1】What can we learn about the Australian bushfires?

A.They’ve left most of Australian land in flames.

B.They’ve speeded the melting of glaciers.

C.They will certainly create hotter air.

D.No one is certain how harmful their effects will be on climate.

【2】What’s the author’s attitude towards the future of the global food supply?

A.Doubtful. B.Objective.

C.Concerned. D.Indifferent.

【3】What is the best title for the text?

A.The Effects of the Australian Bushfires on Climate Change

B.Australian Bushfires: a Big Disaster to the Country

C.What the Australian Bushfires Mean for the Rest of the World?

D.Why the Australian Bushfires Affect the Rest of the World?

31、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

NASA is on a journey to Mars, with a goal of sending humans to the Red Planet in the 2030s. That journey is already well under way.

For decades, the agency and its partners have sent orbiters, landers and rovers（探测器）, 【1】 increasing our knowledge about the Red Planet and paving the way for future human explorers. The Curiosity rover has gathered radiation data to help us protect future astronauts, and the upcoming Mars 2020 rover will study the 【2】 of Martian resources, including oxygen.

Building on the robotic legacy（遗产）, the human exploration of Mars crosses three thresholds（门槛）, each with 【3】 challenges as humans move farther from Earth: Earth Reliant, the Proving Ground, and Earth Independent.

Earth Reliant explorations is 【4】 on research aboard the International Space Station. The orbiting microgravity laboratory serves as a world - class test bed for the technologies and communications systems needed for human missions to deep space. Astronauts are learning about what it takes to live and work in space for long periods of time, improving our understanding of how the body changes in space and how to protect astronauts' health.

Next, we move into the Proving Ground, 【5】 a series of missions near the moon called “cislunar space” to test the capabilities we will need to live and work at Mars. Astronauts on the space station are only hours away from Earth, but the proving ground is days away, a(n) 【6】 stepping stone to a Mars mission, which will be months away from home.

Also in the 2020s, we’ll send astronauts on a year-long mission into this deep space proving ground, confirming habitation and testing our 【7】 for Mars.

Finally, we become Earth Independent, building on the knowledge 【8】 on the space station and in deep space to send humans to low-Mars orbit in the early 2030s.

This phase will also test the entry, descent（降落）and landing techniques needed to get to the Martin surface and study what's needed for in-situ resource utilization or "living off the land". NASA is already studying the 【9】 "Exploration Zones" on Mars that would offer compelling science research and provide resources our astronauts can use.

There are challenges to 【10】 Mars, but we know they are solvable. We are well on our way to getting there, landing there, and living there.
