22、   According to experts, much of our communication is non-verbal. Every day we respond to thousands of non-verbal signals and behaviors. Here are several common types of non-verbal signals and behaviors.

Facial expressions are responsible for a huge part of non-verbal communication. The look on a person's face is often the first thing we see, even before we hear what they have to say. 【1】But the facial expressions for happiness, sadness, anger and fear are similar throughout the world.

【2】 And such things as looking, staring and blinking are important non-verbal behaviors. When people come across people or things that they like, the rate of blinking increases. Looking at another person can indicate a range of emotions, such as interest and attraction.

【3】 Normal, steady eye contact is often taken as a sign that a person are telling the truth. Shifty eyes and inability to maintain eye contact, on the other hand, are frequently seen as an indicator that someone is lying.

Our choices of color and other factors affecting appearance are also considered a means of non-verbal communication. 【4】 Appearance can also alter physiological (生理的) reactions and judgments. Just think of all the subtle judgments you quickly make about someone based on his or her appearance. These first impressions are important. 【5】

A．Eyes play an important role in non-verbal communication.

B．Culture has an important influence on how appearances are judged.

C．People also use eye contact as a way to determine if someone is being honest.

D．It plays an important role in how we interpret the actions of those around us.

E．Non-verbal communication and behavior can vary dramatically between cultures.

F．And that's why experts advise job seekers to dress appropriately for interviews.

G．Research on color psychology shows that different colors can lead to different moods.

23、Every March, the US celebrates the accomplishments of women in American history. Even though these accomplishments go back a long way, most schools didn’t start focusing on women pioneers and their achievements until recently. Today, most colleges offer classes in women’s history and most schools teach kids about the many contributions women have made to the country. How did this change come about?

International Women’s Day Is Born

On March 19,1911,a German woman named Clara Zetkin organized the very first International Women’s Day. Inspired by American working women, the annual event took on the causes of peace to end World War I as well as gain women’s rights. Over the years, interest in International Women’s Day decreased. It gained development again in the 1960s,when the women’s movement caused women to wonder why they weren’t included in the history books.

National Women’s History Week Is Celebrated

By the 1970s,more female historians began to look back at the contributions of women in history. In 1978,a California school district started Women’s History Week to promote the teaching of women’s history. School officials picked the week of March 8 to include International Women’s Day. It was so popular that, in 1981,Congress passed a resolution making the week a celebration for the entire country. The concept of studying women’s history continued to grow in popularity. In 1987,a group of women, supported by people working in museums, schools and libraries, asked Congress to expand the celebration. That same year, Congress declared the entire month of March National Women’s History Month.

National Women’s History Museum

Today, schools and communities across the country celebrate the month with special lessons and activities designed to teach the ways women have helped shape the US. The women who have worked hard to make Women’s History Month a reality would like to see women’s history studied all year, not just every March. In 1996,the National Women’s History Museum was founded. It is a non-profit organization devoted to preserving and celebrating the various historic contributions of women. The organization is working with Congress to open a permanent museum site in Washington, DC.

24、   Many studies have hinted(暗示) that alcohol, in moderation, can do a heart good. But new research suggests that moderate drinkers are no more likely than non­drinkers to have clear arteries(动脉).

The scientists looked at almost 2,000 patients who underwent CT test. Overall, there was no association between people’s drinking habits and their heart diseases. Researchers said an advantage of the new study is that it used objective measurements.

“No prior studies have assessed the relationship between alcohol consumption and the presence of heart disease,” said lead researcher Dr Julia Karady. “We could not find any relation between the presence of heart disease and alcohol consumption,” Karady said. At the same time, she added, there was no evidence that heavier drinking raised the risk of heart disease.

However, groups like the American Heart Association(AHA) warn against excessive drinking, because it can raise blood pressure and contribute to heart failure and other problems.

In general, “moderate” is defined as no more than one glass of alcohol a day for women, and no more than two a day for men. But those studies do not prove that alcohol, itself, protects the heart—in large part because alcohol also carries risks.

【1】What is the advantage of the new study?

A.The scientists looked at almost 2,000 patients who underwent CT test.

B.The new study used objective measurements.

C.No prior studies have assessed the relationship.

D.There was no evidence that heavier drinking raised the risk of heart disease.

【2】Why groups like the American Heart Association(AHA) are against excessive drinking?

A.Because it can raise blood pressure and contribute to heart failure and other problems.

B.Because there is some evidence that it will raise the risk of death.

C.Because it can make you die immediately.

D.Because it will lead to blindness.

【3】What is “moderate” defined in the text?

A.No more than one glass of alcohol a day.

B.No more than two glasses of alcohol a day.

C.No more than three glasses of alcohol a day.

D.No more than one glass of alcohol a day for women, and no more than two a day for men.

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。

On a misty morning in July, Clay and Acaimie arrived at the base of Mount Liamuiga, ready for their first honeymoon climb. They had married just five days earlier back home in Indiana, the United States.

They had their apparent differences. Acaimie had always been the worrier. Clay, on the other hand, was an optimist—always certain that things would turn out just fine. So it was Clay who wanted to take a day of their honeymoon and climb Mount Liamuiga, which is also a dead volcano—a popular destination for vacationers looking for adventure.

The couple, dressed in white T-shirts and sneakers, arrived for their journey in a rental car expecting to explore. When arriving, they found an empty dirt parking lot with just a small sign marking the beginning of the track. They made their way up anyway.

It took them nearly three hours to reach the peak, but the view made it all worthwhile. Though worn-out, they couldn't have been happier as they took a few selfies（自拍）with their cellphones, and walked around the edge of the volcano.

That's when Clay saw it: a small track, half-hidden beneath plant life, that led into the volcano's crater（火山口）. A series of holes had been drilled into the rocks, with ropes that led down. For Clay, the sight was incredibly inviting. It felt like a secret entrance to a mysterious paradise（天堂，乐园）. Acaimie was less enthusiastic. The track was steep, and she was afraid of heights, but she bravely followed Clay's lead. After just a few minutes of going downwards, though, she'd had enough. She told her husband she'd wait on the rocks just off the track while he went exploring. “Just be quick,” she said as she watched him set off on the rough path, zigzagging（曲折前进）while grasping the rope.

注意：

1. 续写词数应为150左右；

A few minutes later, she heard a noise of something rolling downhill and a cry for help from deep within the crater.

There was nobody when they reached the top, but fortunately she found a signal on her cellphone.
