Most people call it "body language" —the clues（线索） to the meaning that we get from gesture, facial expressions, posture —everything that isn"t spoken．Experts call it "nonverbal communication," but it means the same thing: a second source of human communication that is often more reliable to understanding what is really going on than the words themselves．
Understanding body language is important to success, whether in the business world or in our personal lives．However, most of our ideas about body language are wrong, according to modern communication research．
There is a belief that people with shifty （变化的） eyes are probably lying．As Paul Ekman says, "When we asked people how they could tell if someone was lying, too much blinking（眨眼） and shifty eyes were the winners．But sometimes people act like that because they are shy．Liars pretend to be calm in order not to be caught．
Ekman goes on to argue against such a wrong belief．Although this kind of body language is probably an expression of nervousness, it is not always because the person is lying．Shyness can, f

or example, make people shift their eyes．To understand what someone"s behavior means, you have to watch them carefully．
There

is also a belief that when meeting someone, the more eye contact

, the better．As a result people would like to make initial （开始的） contact in formal situations, like a job interview, by staring fixedly at the other human．Yet Ekman points out that most of us are comfortable with eye contact lasting a few seconds, but any eye contact that is longer than that can make us nervous．
In short, you must carefully consider the speaker and the speaking environment．Experts suggest that unless you know about someone"s basic communication style, you will have little hope in understanding their true feelings through body language．In other words, body language carries important but not always true messages．
小题1:According to th

e passage, body language is _____．

A．a language that is not spoken	B．a clue to get the meaning
C．a reflection of people"s behaviors	D．a source of human communication

小题2:The word "that" in paragraph 3 refers to ____．

A．blinking

B．lying

C．staring

D．pretending

小题3:From the passage we can learn that ____．

A．there is no doubt that a liar has shifty eyes

B．people sometimes blink because of shyness

C．eye contact lasting a few seconds can make us nervous

D．understanding body language is more helpful in business

小题4:How many examples are given by the writer to support his point of view?

A．1．

B．2．

C．3．

D．4．

小题5:It can be inferred from the passage that _____．

A．body language is trustworthy in telling who is lying

B．body language helps us better understand other people

C．sometimes we can"t judge a person by watching his body language

D．the speaker and

the speaking environment are important to a person"s body language

Honeybees are disappearing for unknown reasons around the United States．Last winter, bees disappeared from 23 percent of American beekeeping businesses．Causes of the phenomenon, however, have remained a mystery．
Now, scientists from several universities and the United States Department of Agriculture say they have a possible explanation for the bee decli

ne（数量下降）．It is a little known virus called Israeli acute--paralysis virus （IAPV）．The virus kills bees．Researchers in Israel first described it in 2004 , but until now, bee experts hadn’t paid much attention to it．
When trying to find out why the bees were disappearing, a research team at Columbia University studied bee colonies （群体）, some with and the others without decline．The research turned up large numbers of two types of fungi （真菌） once suspected of causing the bee decline．The research results, however, showed that the fungi were almost as common in colonies without a decline as they were in colonies with a decline．The researchers concluded that the two fungi probably weren’t the cause．
Studies of the presence of IAPV, however, showed more interesting information．In those studies, done by a team at Pennsylvania State University in University Park, the virus showed up in 83 percent of samples from colonies with symptoms （症状）．Only five percent of samples from symptomless colonies had it．
Scientists still don’t know whether IAPIV

can single--handedly cause the bee decline．They believe that even if the virus is making colonies sick , it could have a partner in crime．It’s possible, for instance, that insects or chemicals in the environment weaken bees, making them more likely to catch IAPV．
Scientists are still trying to figure out how IAPV came to the Uni

ted States．The United States currently allows bee products to be imported from Canada, Australia, and New Zealand．If it turns out that this trade is spreading disease, the rules might eventually change．
小题1:According to the passage ，IAPV is a virus that ______．

A．hasn’t attracted much attention

B．well-known to doctors and scientist

C．was first found by Austrian researchers

D．is dangerous to animals and human beings

小题2:The underlined sentence in the fifth paragraph probably means______．

A．the virus could also cause other damages

B．there must be something that is the real cause

C．IAPV is not the only cause for the bee decline

D．the virus may be caused by the polluted environment

小题3:From the third and fourth paragraphs, we know researchers draw their conclusions by means of _______．

A．calculating

B．comparing

C．examining

D．investigating

小题4:What still remains unknown to American scientists according to the passage?

A．How and why to kill IAPV．

B．How IAPV came to America．

C．Whether bee products should be imported．

D．How to change the rules of the bee products trade．

小题5:The best title for this passage would be _____．

A．Bee Disease	B．How to Kill IAPV
C．A Virus—IAPV	D．Two Types of Fungi

Exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS)-also called “second-hand smoke” and “passive smoking” contains over 4 000 chemicals, including over 50 known carcinogens (致癌物) and many poisonous things. No safe level of ETS exposure has been proved. Nor is there any expectation that further research will identify such a level.
Several recent reviews have confirmed the serious risks to health and life associated with passive smoking. Long time exposure to second-hand smoke has been proved as a cause of many of the same diseases caused by active smoking, including lung cancer, cardiovascular (心脏血管的) disease, and childhood disease.
Living with a smoker has been shown to increase the risk of coronary heart disease (冠心病) among non-smokers by 25-30% (a recent study indicates that this figure may actually be higher).

There is also growing evidence that passive smoking is causally linked to stroke in non-smokers, although further research is needed to estimate the risk.
Second-hand smoke is especially dangerous for young children and infants, being associated with sudden infant death, pneumonia, bronchitis (支气管炎), asthma (哮喘) and respiratory symptoms as well as middle ear disease. ETS exposure in pregnant women can cause lower birth weight, foetal (胎儿的) death and preterm delivery.
Most of the adverse health outcomes brought about by ETS show that the risk increases steadily with increasing exposure. The level of individual risk is lower compared to active smoking. Nevertheless, the fact that large numbers of people are exposed results in a substantial burden of disease.
Action on smoke-free environments would not only protect people from the harm of ETS exposure but also contribute to the reduction of tobacco consumption in the whole population. The health effects of reduced passive and active smoking would include reduced illness and death from major disease types-in particular lung cancer, coronary heart disease, and stroke-and increased life expectancy.
51. Which of the following statements is true? _______
A. Although ETS contains many harmful things, it is not unsafe.
B. The fact that second-hand smoke is safe has been recently found.
C. It is expected that further research will be done to test the level of ETS.
D. By far the safe level of ETS has not been found and will not in the future.
52. Cardiovascular disease can be caused by _______.
A. long time passive smoking    B. accidental active smoking
B. occasional passive smoking   D. short term active smoking
53. According to the article, the statements about the risk of coronary heart disease are wrong EXCEPT that________
A. if you smoke, the risk of this disease will increase by 25-30%.
B. the non-smokers exposed to smoke will increase the risk of this disease by 25-30%.
C. for the smokers, the risk of getting this disease is higher than that of the non-smokers.
D. the non-smokers exposed to smoke will be more easily to get this disease than the smokers.
54. What does the underlined word “delivery” mean? ________.
A. Transferring to another     B. Giving birth   C. Throwing away   D. Giving out
55. What’s the author’s main purpose in writing this passage? ______
A. To introduce what is ETS.
B. To tell the readers how to avoid ETS.
C. To call for the action against ETS.
D. To warn the readers against smoking.
