Indeed, what is called body language is so 5 a part of us that it’s actually often unnoticed. And misunderstandings occur as a result of it. 6 , different societies treat the 7 between people differently. Northern Europeans usually do not like having 8 contact (接触) even with friends, certainly not with 9 .
People from Latin American countries, 10 , touch each other quite a lot. Therefore, it’s possible that in 11 , it may look like a Latino is 12 a Norwegian all over the room. The Latino, trying to express friendship, will keep moving 13 . The Norwegian, very probably seeing this as pushiness, will keep 14 -which the Latino will in return regard as 15 _ .
Clearly, a great deal is going on when people 16 . And only a part of it is in the words themselves. And when parties are from 17 cultures, there’s a strong possibility of 18 . But whatever the situation, the best 19 is to obey the Golden Rule: treat others as you would like to be 20 _.

举一反三
In the world today, there are millions of surveillance cameras, or “spy cams”, watching and monitoring our daily activities. There are some benefits of course, as people who are breaking laws can be watched and caught using cameras and this helps keep our society and public places safe. These cameras are everywhere and most are openly visible on roads, in airports, businesses, shopping centers and government buildings and even in lifts. Even schools have started using spy cams to watch student activity and behaviour.
The cameras are so common now that we hardly ever even notice them. But the problem lies with the ones that are hidden away from our eyes and are unseen. Technology has helped develop tiny cameras that can be very well hidden and they can “spy” on shoppers, workers, babysitters and people in hotels and clubs without the people even knowing.
It is these spy cams that people feel are an invasion of privacy. Recently, in the US, there have been a number of court cases against babysitters whose actions have been recorded by their employers on hidden cameras.
The number of cameras in public and private areas is on the increase and with rising crime rates and the recent terrorist attacks, more and more surveillance cameras are being used to watch us. This means that we all have to be aware that our employers, department stores, police and even some of our friends could be spying on us at any time!
小题1:In the writer’s opinion, surveillance cameras _______. .| A．do more good than wrong | | B．are overused | | C．should be very popular | | D．ought to be more widely used |
小题2:In what way can the surveillance camera benefit the public?| A．By helping keep social safety. | | B．By monitoring the employees. | | C．By watching the students in class. | | D．By spying on customers. |
小题3:According to Paragraphs 3 and 4, people _______ the use of hidden cameras.| A．object to | | B．agree to | | C．feel happy about | | D．are fearful of |
小题4:Spy cams will be more widely used in the future because _______. .| A．all people want to spy | | B．of the invasion of privacy | | C．people enjoy being watched | | D．of terrorist attacks |

The practice of magic includes special words, actions, and objects. Most magic involves a person called a magician, who claims to have supernatural powers. Magic words.
To work most magic, the magician sings or speaks special words in a certain order. These words are called incantations or spells. Some spells form prayers to demons(魔鬼), spirits, or other supernatural forces. Many societies believe the magic will not work unless the magician recites the spells perfectly. Other magic words have no meaning, though they supposedly possess power when spoken by a magician. Magic actions accompany the words spoken in performing much magic. Many of these movements act out the desired effect of the magic. For example, a magician trying to make rain fall may sprinkle(洒) water on the ground. The magician"s combined words and actions form a ceremony. Magic objects include certain plants, stones, and other things with supposed supernatural powers. Any such object may be called a fetish(物神). But this term often refers to an object—for example, a carving or a dried snake—honored by a tribe for its magic powers. Many tribes believe fetishes have magic power because spirits live in these objects. Many people carry magic objects called amulets(护身符)to protect themselves from harm. Many amulets are stones or rings engraved(雕刻) with magic symbols.
The magician, in some societies, nearly everyone knows how to work some magic. In other societies, only experts practice magic. Magicians may be called medicine men, medicine women, shamans, sorcerers, or witch doctors. In many societies, magicians must inherit(遗传) their powers. In others, any person may become a magician by studying the magical arts.
Many societies believe magicians must observe certain rules and taboos (forbidden actions) for their spells to work. For example, they may be required not to eat various foods or to avoid sexual activity for a certain period before the ceremony.
小题1:What do magic words mean to people in some society? | A．They have the power to kill devils. | | B．They have power if magician recites the right spells. | | C．They have no effect at all. | | D．They can be used whenever they want. |
小题2:Why do many people believe in a fetish? | A．Because it is often a ring which is worth a lot of money. | | B．Because it is carved with magic symbols. | | C．Because people think spirits live in it. | | D．Because it can help them with many things. |
小题3:What"s the best title of the passage? | A．How Magicians make Magic Work | B．The Power of Magic | | C．How to Practice Magic | D．The Choice of Magicians |

阅读下面短文，并根据要求完成文章后的题目。(请将答案写在答题卡对应题号的横线上。)
Too often young people get themselves employed quite by accident, not knowing whether there will be opportunities for promotion (晋升), happiness and security. As a result, they are employed in doing jobs that afford them little or no satisfaction.
Our school leavers face so much competition that they seldom care what they do as long as they can earn a living. Some stay long at a job and learn to like it; others leave one for another looking for something to suit them. The young graduates leave the university with the dream of looking for jobs that offer a salary up to their expectation.
Very few go out into the world knowing exactly what they want and the limits of their own abilities. The cause behind all this confusion is that there has never been a proper vocational（职业的） guidance in our educational institutions. Nearly all the graduates feel their way in the dark. Their chief concern is the salary. They never bother to think whether they are suited for the job or, even more important, whether the job suits them. Having a job is more than merely providing one and one’ s dependants with daily bread and some money for leisure and entertainment. It sets a pattern of life and, in many ways, determines a person ’s social status in life and selection of friends, leisure and interest.
In choosing a profession, one should first consider which type of work will suit his or her interest. Nothing is sadder than taking on a job in which one has no interest, for it will not only ruin one’ s talents but also discourage one’ s desire to succeed in life.

Millions of Americans return from long-distance trips by air, but their luggage doesn’t always come home with them. Airline identification tags（标签） can come loose, and the bags go who-knows-where. And passengers leave all kinds of things on planes.
The airlines collect the items and, for 90 days, attempt to find their owners. They don’t keep them, since they’re not in the warehouse business. And by law, they cannot sell the bags, because the airlines might be tempted to deliberately misplace luggage.
So once insurance companies have paid for lost bags and their contents, and they no longer belong to passengers, a unique store in the little town of Scottsboro, Alabama, buys them. The “Unclaimed Baggage Center,” is so popular that the building, which is set up like a department store, is the number-one tourist attraction in all of Alabama. More than one million visitors stop in each year and take one of the store’s shopping carts on a hunt for treasures.
Each day, clerks bring out 7,000 new items, and veteran（老练的）shoppers rush to paw over them. You can find everything from precious jewels to hockey sticks, best-selling novels, leather jackets, tape recorders, surfboards, even half -used tubes of toothpaste.
The store’s own laundry washes or cleans all the clothes found in luggage, then sells them. The Unclaimed Baggage Center has found guns, illegal drugs and even a live rattlesnake.
The store has a little museum where some of its most unusual acquisitions（获得物） have been preserved. They include highland bagpipes, a burial mask from an Egyptian pharaoh"s tomb, and a medieval suit of armor.
Statistics indicate that less than one-half of one percent of luggage checked on U.S. carriers is permanently lost and available to the store.
小题1:Paragraph1 shows that many passengers lose their luggage because______.| A．they are forgetful | | B．the owners of some luggage can’t be identified | | C．they are in a hurry | | D．there is no lost and found office in many airports |
小题2:The reason why the airlines cannot sell the bags is that ______.| A．they have to find the owners | | B．they have to keep the bags as long as possible | | C．some bags are expensive | | D．they are likely to make a profit on the bags on purpose |
小题3:The Unclaimed Baggage Center is very popular because______.| A．visitors may purchase something undervalued. | | B．all thethings there are very cheap. | | C．there"s a large variety of goods. | | D．visitors will enjoy some amusing activities there. |
小题4:What can we infer from the passage?| A．A little museum will keep all the precious unclaimed baggage. | | B．The things in the Unclaimed Baggage Center are articles for daily use. | | C．The percentage of passengers who lose their baggage for ever is small. | | D．People are not allowed to buy the illegal things in the store. |
小题5:What is the main purpose of the passage?| A．To introduce an attractive place to tourists. | | B．To remind passengers of taking care of their baggage. | | C．To advise the airlines to find the owners of the unclaimed baggage. | | D．To introduce how the unclaimed baggage in the airports is handled in America. |

When you’re an employee of a company, no matter the size, it’s common to see co-workers promoted, or transferred to a different department. But there is another way to move around—by creating a new position for yourself. I did this several years ago, though I wasn’t actively looking for a different job.
In 2007, I was hired at the Transamerica Life Insurance Company, as a customer service representative in the distributions services department. I processed requests for distributions from our annuity(养老金)policy holders around the country. Someone might have forgotten to sign a form, for example, or might have omitted security information. To solve the problem, I’d mail the person a letter.
The company had been through several combinations, so in our department alone we had a collection of about 140 templates(模板) for letters related to distributions. The longer I worked with the letters, the more I saw how they could be improved. Some had overlapping information and could be combined. Some had incorrect grammar or needed updating. I also noticed that industry terminology(专业术语) wasn’t standard across all the versions.
When I told my department supervisor about this in 2008, she agreed that the letters needed revamping. She said I should stop what I’d been doing and start the new work. In a relatively short time, I was able to make numerous improvements and reduce the number of letters to 70. It was an informal job change until a managers’ meeting several months later.
At that meeting, a vice president who was unaware of my new work mentioned that the division’s entire stock of 1,700 letters should be reviewed. My manager told her that she knew the perfect person for the job—me. The position was still considered temporary when I took on the extra tasks, but I was able to show that the work had value, and I was officially promoted and given a raise in November 2009.
小题1:According to Paragraph 1, which of the following statements is true? | A．The author admired those who got a promotion in his company. | | B．It is no surprise to see people around us change their positions. | | C．The author tried his best to get a promotion in his company | | D．The author was eager to seek another job. |
小题2:Which of the following problems with the letters is NOT mentioned in the passage?| A．Some information was overlooked. | | B．Some information needed to be united. | | C．Some had grammatical mistakes. | | D．Industry terminology didn’t meet the standard. |
小题3:The underlined word “revamping” in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to .| A．repeating | B．rebuilding | C．improving | D．strengthening |
小题4:The author started to review the letters when .| A．he was hired by the company | | B．he was promoted | | C．he was recommended at a managers’ meeting | | D．his department supervisor agreed his idea |
小题5:Which of the following is the best title for the passage?| A．Where there is will, there is a way. | | B．Creating a position, and earning a promotion. | | C．Don’t let the chance go, when it comes. | | D．Ways to get a promotion. |
