26、 There are various ways in which to read body language so that you can understand how someone is feeling. Reading emotional clues (线索)is one of them.
Crying is considered to be caused by an explosion of emotion in most cultures. Often times crying is considered a sign of sadness, but crying can also be an expression of happiness.

Anxiety can also or have nervous legs. It can be conveyed when people seemingly unconsciously(无意识 地)tap their feet or have nervous legs.

People also tend to look down when they are upset, or trying to hide something emotional. People are often thinking and feeling unpleasant emotions when they are in the process of staring at the ground.

27、 Many millions of tonnes of televisions, phones, and other electronic equipment are abandoned each year, partly because it’s cheaper to replace them than fix them, but also because we lack the skills to repair them. A UN report claims the 50 million tonnes of e-waste generated every year will more than double to 110 million tonnes by 2050, making it the fastest growing waste stream in the world.
However, there’s a growing trend for repair events and clubs which could be part of a solution to the growing amount of electrical and electronic junk. The BBC visited a Restart Project in London and one of its volunteers, Francesco Calo, said that “this project allow you to reduce waste, extend the life of objects, and it helps people who cannot afford to get rid of items that are developed a fault.”
As many electrical items contain valuable metals, another idea is e-waste mining. An experiment at the University of New South Wales involves extracting these materials from electronic gadgets. It’s thought that doing this could be more profitable than traditional mining. With phones typically containing as many as 60 elements, this could be part of the solution to our appetite for new technology.
These projects make total sense-collections of e-waste for recycling are “stagnating or even decreasing” according to Ruediger Kuehr, of the United Nations University. And in countries where there is no legislation, much of it just gets dumped. However, the European Union, for example, is trying to tackle the problem by insisting manufacturers have to make appliances longer-lasting and will have to supply spare parts for machines for up to 10 years.
【1】What does the underlined word “generate” in paragraph I mean?
A.kept B.invented
C.produced D.introduced
【2】Which of the following statements is true?
A.We must fix electronic equipment instead of replacing them.
B.Many electronic items contain more than 60 elements.
C.A Restart Project helps people learn to repair electronic items..
D.E-waste is the fastest growing waste stream in the world.
【3】Which is the following is the best title for the passage?
A.Solving the problem of e-waste B.Reducing the use of electrical items
C.Recycling electronic equipment D.Getting rid of electrical and electronic junk
【4】What can be inferred from the passage?
A.Repairing electrical items is the main solution to e-waste.
B.Longer-lasting electronic products will appear in the future European Market.
C.E-waste generated every year has doubled to 110 million tonnes.
D.E-waste mining will gradually take the place of traditional mining.
28、 It’s said that today more than $ 400 billion a year is spent on advertising worldwide. Beyond that the economic influence of advertising touches just about every consumer-product industry, from No wonder, it is widely recognized that the global economy is heavily being driven by advertisements.
A successful advertisement involves at least three things. The advertisers will first of all single out the market. That is, they need to determine who will buy the product. Then, they will work out the best way to appeal to this market. So they will take into consideration a number of desires or worries the market may have. Finally, they will design the advertising programme. That is, they will study what words and images their advertisement contains and what slogans(广告语)they plan to make use of. They will also consider employing famous people and using scientific data to support e product.
While in everyday life consumers have seen lots of successful examples of advertising like Nike, Coca-Cola, and McDonald’s, there are still some examples that do not reach the expected goal. One soap company had all its advertisements show dirty clothes on the left, its box of soap in the middle, and clean clothes on the right. Then it started its advertising programme in the Middle East. Unfortunately, since Arabic speakers read Arabic from the right to the left, many viewers when seeing the ad, thought to themselves, “Why, this soap makes clothes dirty!”
Therefore, advertisers have to be aware of cultural differences when they want to carry out international advertising programme in a foreign country. Study the cultural background of the customers, or ruin the advertising programme!
【1】What should the advertisers do before designing an ad?
A.Conduct market research.
B.Remove customers’ worries.
C.Invite famous people to cooperate.
D.Employ scientific data to give evidence.
【2】What can be learned from the text?
A.The global economy is determined by advertising.
B.The profits of advertising are beyond expectation.
C.The soap ad is successful in Arabic countries.
D.Cultural differences should be considered for international ads.
【3】What is the best title of the passage?
A.Successful International Ads
B.Awareness of Cultural Differences
C.What Is Advertising?
D.How to Appeal to the Market?
29、 First it was jogging. Then aerobics(有氧运动). Not too long ago, Americans discovered race walking.
Now Americans are into a new fitness craze. They’re taking up bicycling. Over hills and down mountainsides and across quiet country roads, Americans are busily rolling along.
The number of adults who ride for fitness is around 17 million, an increase of 70 percent over four years ago. Twice as many women as men are coming to the sport. Americans are falling in love with biking because it has speed, the benefits of jogging and beautiful scenery.
Bicycling is a very appropriate sport, which is important to people who injured their knees while jogging or whose joints are aching from aerobics. And biking is a real awakening for people who have been into race walking in the past. Race walking is as dull as watching paint dry.
The most popular kind of bicycle for people who are new to the sport is the mountain bike, which has a fixed frame with wide tires and upright handles. Mountain bikes also have many gears(齿轮)to make it easier to climb hills. About 5 million Americans ride mountain bikes, compared with 200,000 who rode them only five years ago.
Costs range from about $130 for a bottom-of-the-line bicycle to more than $2,700 for an expensive bicycle.
Mountain biking has attracted some people who race down the sides of mountains like a bat out of hell. But most riders ride slowly and they rarely venture far from home.
The biking craze has brought an unexpected profit(盈利)to clothing and bicycle accessory (附属品)makers. Last year, bikers paid $630 million for biking clothes and accessories.
Bicycling seems likely to continue its fantastic growth.
