Many people think that the most popular way of communicating with other people is through the mouth. But what they don’t know is that actual communication using the mouth accounts for only around 10% (or even less) of all the means to communicate a message.
Moreover, you can never determine the truthfulness or honesty of people by what they say alone. In fact, words expressed through the mouth often do not reflect what people really think or feel. The more reliable way you can determine their true inner feelings and thoughts is by reading their body language. Everybody communicates using these gestures and if you understand the gestures and their meanings you will be able to read people and know what they are really communicating to you. One researcher even went as far as to say that we speak to hide what’s on our minds. But gestures cannot lie.
Have you ever wondered what it would be like if you can “see through” the emotions of other people? Let’s say you ask a person whether he can do an important task. He says “OK”. But deep inside, you are questioning yourself, “Is he really willing to do this job?” or “Does he have the confidence in finishing this task?” You can’t question him directly because that would be like belittling him. And even if you ask him those questions, his replies will not tell you what he really feels or thinks. So the most useful way is to observe his body language. Expressions like smiling, frowning, pouting, facial reddening, sweating, toe curling and sideways glances are visible hints that can help you make a right judgment.
1. 小題1:According to the passage, we know _______.
A．words through the mouth are the most common way in communication
B．body language is the quickest way to help people understand each other
C．expressions are the most powerful tool to judge whether a man is confident or not
D．you may know what a person really thinks with the help of reading his body language
2. 小題2:What does the underlined sentence mean in the second paragraph?
A．We can express ourselves well by body language.
B．We use words to prevent others knowing our true thoughts
C．Spoken words can fully reflect our true self.
D．We use body language to help express ourselves.
3. 小題3:The underlined word in the third paragraph can be replaced with ______.
A．looking down uponB．speaking highly of
C．laughing atD．believing in

小題1:D
小題2:B
小題3:A

1. 小題1:第一段說語言交流只占所有交流方式的 10％或者更少。雖然下文講的是body language的重要性，但并沒有說明最主要的交流方式是什么，也沒有說body language是最快捷的交流方式或者最強有力的交流工具，故只有D的說法合理。
2. 小題2:聯(lián)系上下文內(nèi)容可知。
3. 小題3:聯(lián)系上文，這句話意思是“你不能直接問他，因為這樣看起來就像看不起他”。因此選

Shopping for clothes is not the same experience for a man as it is for a woman. A man goes shopping because he needs something. His purpose is settled and decided in advance. He knows what he wants, and his objective is to find it and buy it; the price is a secondary consideration. All men simply walk into a shop and ask the assistant for what they want. If the shop has it in stock, the salesman promptly produces it, and the business of trying it on goes forward at once. All being well, the deal can be and often is completed in less than five minutes, with hardly any chat and to everyone's satisfaction. For a man, slight problems may begin when the shop does not have what he wants, or does not have exactly what he wants. In that case the salesman, as the name implies, tries to sell the customer something else, he offers the nearest he can to the article required. No good salesman brings out such a substitute without least consideration; he does so with skill and polish（完美）: “I know this jacket is not the style you want, sir, but would you like to try it for size. It happens to be the color you mentioned." Few men have patience with this treatment, and the usual response is: “This is the right color and may be the right size but I should be wasting my time and yours by trying it on.
Now how does a woman go about buying clothes? In almost every respect she does so in the opposite way. Her shopping is not often based on need. She has never fully made up her mind what she wants, and she is only “having a look round". She is always open to persuasion: indeed she sets great store by what the saleswoman tells her, even by what companions tell her. She will try on any number of things. Uppermost in her mind is the thought of finding something that everyone thinks suits her. Contrary to a lot of jokes, most women have an excellent sense of value when they buy clothes. They are always on the lookout for the unexpected bargain. Faced with a roomful of dresses, a woman may easily spend an hour going from one rail to another, to and fro often retracing her steps, before selecting the dresses she wants to try on. It is a tiresome process, but apparently an enjoyable one. Most dress shops provide chairs for the waiting husbands.
小題1:According to the passage, a man’s shopping is based on _______.
A．his moneyB．his hobbiesC．his needD．his friends
小題2:Why does a lady welcome suggestions from anyone while buying a dress?
A．Because she wants to buy a dress that every one thinks suits her.
B．Because she doesn’t know how to buy a dress.
C．Because she doesn’t know whether to buy it or not.
D．Because she wants to show herself off in public.
小題3:Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Most men have patience with trying it on while buying a jacket.
B．Most women have a poor sense of value when buying a dress.
C．A woman’s shopping is based on her need.
D．A man doesn’t pay much attention to the price of the clothes he wants to buy.
小題4:The passage mainly talks about the ______ between men shoppers and women shoppers for clothes.
A．similaritiesB．differencesC．varietiesD．intentions

Travel to China is a lifetime experience and a better way to understand China. Only when you are there, you may start to appreciate and understand what a difference to live in a nation with a population of 1.3 billion.?
China offers variety choices for visitors. If you are interested in Chinese history, Chinese culture and Chinese scenery, your trip will be very fulfilled and very interesting. If you want to enjoy a peaceful sunshine beach holiday, there are plenty of tourist areas along the coastal line, which have unspoiled beaches and luxury hotels for visitors. In Hainan Island, the beautiful Sanya beaches are opened the whole year around and there is no winter in this island. If you want excitements and nightlife, stay in big cities. There are many places every night for international gathering. If you are adventurers, go to remote areas to watch wild life or visit minorities(少數(shù)民族) to see how they live in the hillsides or desert. If you are sporty, take a cycle trip along the countryside, enjoy the rural(田園的) life and meet with Chinese people long the route.?
You may have heard or read a lot about China from books, newspapers, magazines and TV programs. Some of them are true but most of them are out of date, incorrect or even false. China is different from many of your previous experiences and may shock you in many ways. This is what China is!
This country is changing and progressing every day. Yet it is still a developing country. After the economic reform, most of the developments concentrate in major cities and remote areas(邊遠地區(qū)) are still very backward. China is a very populated nation and people have to cope with the crowded environment. Foreign visitors may not get used to the mentality of the people and sometimes become frustrated with the situation, which they never experienced before. Basically Chinese are reserve, peaceful and nice. They are very polite too but in their own way. When a foreigner is willing to take a more positive attitude to recognize the difference, the trip will become worthwhile or you may ruin your trip completely by unreasonable expectation and misjudgment of the people in general.
小題1:According to the passage, if you go to China, you can enjoy all but _______.

The key to a good interpersonal relationship is simple once you understand the role that needs play in making a relationship weak, moderate, average, or strong.
A person who fails in a relationship is someone who neglects the needs of his or her partner. So the first step to establish a successful relationship is to find out what needs the other person has. It is also very important to understand your own needs so that you can help the other person in the relationship to meet your needs.
Unfortunately, not only do many people fail to see or to understand their partner’s needs, but they do not understand their own. Children have wonderful relationships with their parents as long as their needs are being satisfied. When the needs are not satisfied, the relationship changes and problems arise. As a child grows, needs change; it is necessary that parents recognize these changes. As it is with the child to the parents, it is also with the parents to the child.
The way to recognize the needs of other people is by their responses to you. When you do or say something and you get a positive response, you are well on the way to being recognized. The same goes for you. What is it that you respond to in a positive manner? What do you feel good about getting and about doing? What are you totally guiltless about? What can you do with complete confidence and fearlessness? What emotional scene can you control without fear or guilt? Look in these areas for your needs and you will in all probability find your answers.
As stated, our own needs are often hidden. The techniques covered in the power of self-mind control will allow you to discover your needs and show you who you are in regard to interpersonal relationships. Your effectiveness in influencing and dealing with people will greatly increase the power of self-mind control.
小題1:From the passage we learn that ________.
A．it is hard to make good interpersonal relationships
B．there are several levels of relationships among people
C．the success of different interpersonal relationships can be measured by needs
D．the first step to establish a successful relationship is to know your own needs
小題2:According to Paragraph 2, the most important factor in dealing with people is to ________.
A．be kind to them and help them
B．only think of their needs
C．find out both your needs and theirs
D．learn some interpersonal techniques
小題3:Which of the following statements is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A．A child’s needs change with his growth.
B．A child should also know his parents’ needs.
C．It’s easier to find your own needs than to find others’.
D．You can learn what others need by their responses to you.
小題4:The last two paragraphs are written mainly to tell us ________.
A．why some people fail in a relationship
B．how to increase the power of self-mind control
C．why our needs are often hidden
D．how to recognize others’ needs and yours

It was the summer of 1965. Deluca, then 17, visited Peter Buck, a family friend. Buck asked Deluca about his plan for the future. “I’m going to college, but I need a way to pay for it,” Deluca recalls saying. “Buck said, ‘you should open a sandwich shop.’ ”
That afternoon, they agreed to be partners. And they set a goal: to open 32 stores in ten years. After doing some research, Buck wrote a check for $ 1,000. Deluca rented a storefront (店面) in Connecticut, and when they couldn’t cover their start-up costs, Buck kicked in another $1,000.
But business didn’t go smoothly as they expected. Deluca says, “After six months, we were doing poorly, but we didn’t know how badly, because we didn’t have any financial controls.” All he and Buck knew was that their sales were lower than their costs.
Deluca was managing the store and to the University of Bridgeport at the same time. Buck was working at his day job as a nuclear physicist in New York. They’d meet Monday evenings and brainstorm ideas for keeping the business running. “We convinced ourselves to open a second store. We figured we could tell the public, ‘ We are so successful, we are opening a second store.’” And they did — in the spring of 1966. Still, it was a lot of learning by trial and error.
But the partners’ learn-as-you-go approach turned out to be their greatest strength. Every Friday, Deluca would drive around and hand-deliver the checks to pay their supplies. “It probably took me two and a half hours and it wasn’t necessary but as a result, the suppliers got to know me very well, and the personal relationships established really helped out,” Deluca says.
And having a goal was also important. “There are so many problems that can get you down. You just have to keep working toward your goal,” Deluca adds.
Deluca ended up founding Subways Sandwich, the multimillion-dollar restaurant chain.
小題1:Deluca opened the first sandwich shop in order to ________.
A．support his familyB．pay for his college education
C．help his partner expand businessD．do some research
小題2:Which of the following is true of Buck?
A．He put money into the sandwich business.
B．He was a professor of business as ministration.
C．He was studying at the University of Bridgeport.
D．He rented a storefront for Deluca.
小題3:What can we learn about their first shop?
A．It stood at an unfavorable place.
B．It lowered the prices to poor management.
C．It made no profits due to poor management.
D．It lacked control over the quality of sandwich.
小題4:They decided to open a second store because they _________.
A．had enough money to do it
B．had succeeded in their business
C．wished to meet the increasing demand of customers
D．wanted to make believe that they were successful
小題5: What contributes most do their success according to the author?
