Living your life honestly means that you"ve decided to live openly and to show your true self to others and that you can be relied upon to be trustworthy. On the other hand, dishonesty is all about shade and concealment and living your life in "dark corners". When you"re dishonest, it means that you remain living in the dark and cannot grow spiritually.
Honesty produces trust-trust in ourselves and in all those around us. Trust in turn produces confidence which we all need to overcome life"s problems and which also encourages us to take risks in order to achieve our goals.
You"ll have no doubt you have heard expressions such as "what goes around, comes around" and "you get back, what you give out in life" and that"s very true. If you don"t live your lives honestly, you can be assured that the people you"ll attract will turn out to be very similar to you and it"s therefore unavoidable that one day you"11 be on the receiving end of someone"s dishonest actions or words.
There may be situations where telling the whole truth causes you to bring a lot of pain on somebody else. For example, John may have told Paul that he can"t go on a weekend fishing trip with him because he has a family commitment arranged that weekend. You know differently and that the real reason John isn"t going is because he hates Paul. When Paul asks you if you know whether the reason is true, what do you say? Well, in situations like this, it"s often better to be economical with the truth. You might say that you don"t know why John can"t go or that you think he has something on that weekend." Of course, this isn"t telling the complete truth but you are sparing Paul"s feelings on something that won"t, after all, have strong influence on Paul"s future.

小题2:A细节理解题。根据文章第四段If you don"t live your lives honestly, …… one day you"11 be on the receiving end of someone"s dishonest actions or words.可知如果一个人不诚实，那么他周围的人也会不诚实，最后他自己将得不到别人的真诚，故答案选A。

But the High Line was not destroyed．In fact．now the old rail line serves as one of the most peaceful places in the city．The idea to change the rail line into a park came from Joshua David and Robert Hammond．In 1999，they attended a community meeting to decide the fate of the High Line．David and Hammond were the only people at the meeting interested in saving the historical structure. Later on，when they asked railway officials to take them up to look at the High Line，they saw a mile and a half of wild flowers growing in the middle of the city，and they realized that the High Line had potential to become a park．There was growing interest in improving urban centers，and so the project quickly gathered funds for construction．
The first section of the High Line opened in 2009 and immediately became popular with tourists and locals alike．Each part of the park has a different atmosphere．Some areas are like balconies with wonderful city views．Other sections have wide lawns and walkways planted with wild flowers．Only the final section remains the way it has been for the last fifty years—a railway line overgrown with weeds．

There are now more than a thousand genetic(基因的)tests，for everything from baldness to breast cancer，and the list is growing．Question is do you really want to know what might eventually kill you? For instance，Nobel Prize-winning scientist James Watson，one of the first people to map their entire genetic makeup, is said to have asked not to be told if he were at a higher risk for Alzheimer’(老年痴呆症)．
“If I tell you that you have an increased risk of getting a terrible disease，that could weigh on your mind and make you anxious，through which you see the rest of your 1ife as you wait for that disease to hit you．It could really mess you up．”Said Dr．Robert Green，a Harvard geneticist.
“Every ache and pain，”Smith suggested，could be understood as“the beginning of the e nd．”“That’s right．If you ever worried you were at risk for Alzheimer"s disease，then every time you can’t find your car in the parking lot，you think the disease has started．”
Dr．Green has been thinking about this issue for years．He led a study of people who wanted to know if they were at a higher genetic risk for Alzheimer’s．It was thought that people who got bad news would，for lack of a better medical term，freak out．But Green and his team found that there was “no significant difference”between how people handled good news and possibly the worst news of their lives．In fact，most people think they can handle it．People who ask for the information usually can handle the information，good or bad，said Green．

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(皱眉), pouting(撅嘴), facial reddening, sweating, toe curling and sideways glances are visible hints that can help you make a right judgment.
小题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 |
| 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. |
| A．looking down upon | B．speaking highly of |
| C．laughing at | D．believing in |
