Body language is the quiet, secret and most powerful language of all! It is said that our body movements communicate about 50 percent of what we really mean while words only express 7 percent. So, while your mouth is closed, your body is just saying... Arms. How you hold your arms shows how open and receptive you are to people you meet. If you keep your arms to the sides of your body or behind your back, this suggests you are not afraid of taking on whatever comes your way. Outgoing people generally use their arms with big movements, while quieter people keep them close to their bodies. If someone upsets you, just cross your arms to show you"re unhappy! Head. When you want to appear confident, keep your head level. If you are a monitor in class, you can also take on this position when you want your words to be taken seriously. However, to be friendly in listening or speaking, you must move your head a little. Legs. Your legs tend to move around a lot more than normal when you are nervous or telling lies. If you are at interviews, try to keep them still! Posture (姿势). A good posture makes you feel better about yourself. If you are feeling down, you normally don"t sit straight, with your shoulders inwards. This makes breathing more difficult, which can make you feel nervous or uncomfortable. Mouth. When you are thinking, you often purse your lips. You might also use this position to hold back an angry comment you don"t wish to show. However, it will probably still be noticed, and people will know you"re not pleased. Face. When you lie, you might put on a false face. But that expression would crack briefly, allowing displays of true emotions such as happiness, sadness, disgust (厌恶) and fear to come through. |

We all need physical exercise. Exercise uses up food we eat and keeps the body full of energy. It works your muscles and makes your heart work hard so as to send blood to your muscles. So, exercise makes your heart and muscles strong. Exercise also makes you feel refreshed. If you exercise a couple of times a week, you will stay happy and healthy. Some Western countries, such as the United States, have problems with exercise. In the US, many people don"t have enough exercise because it is hard for them. People have to work from dawn till dusk, so they don"t have time to take exercise. They work in office buildings sitting in chairs all day long in front of computers. They cannot get much exercise sitting at desk passively. Some Westerners can get exercise walking from their homes to work. However, the majority of people cannot do this. It is too far from their homes to their offices. They have no choice but to drive to work. In fact, some have to drive one or two hours to their offices. This is unfavorable in two ways. First, these people don"t have a chance to exercise because they are sitting in their cars for two to four hours each day. Second, driving is challenging especially in rush hours and calls for too much attention. It makes a person worn out. So, when these people arrive home at night, they don"t have the desire to take exercise after work. Today, many people in the West are overweight, which causes health problems for them. Doctors say exercise can help people both lose weight and improve their health. So many people are trying to get more exercise. But it takes time to change, and when people don"t see a difference right away, they will lose heart and stop exercising.

Being less than perfectly well-dressed in a business setting can result in a feeling of discomfort. And the sad truth is that "clothing mismatches" on the job can ruin the day of the person who is wearing the inappropriate attire(着装)-and the people with whom he or she works. Offices vary when it comes to dress codes. Some businesses have very strict standards for office attire, while others maintain a more relaxed attitude. However, it is always important to remember that no matter what your company"s attitude is, you are working in a business environment and you should dress properly. Certain items may be more appropriate for evening wear than for a business meeting, just as shorts and a T-shirt are better suited for the beach than for an office environment. Your attire should reflect both your environment and your position. A senior president has a different image to maintain than that of a secretary. Like it or not, you will be judged by your appearance. This is never more apparent than on "dress-down days", when what you wear can say more about you than any business suit ever could. In fact, people will pay more attention to what you wear on dress-down days than on "business professional " days. Thus, when dressing in "business casual" clothes, try to put some good taste into your choices, recognize that the "real" definition of business casual is to dress just one notch(等级) down from what you would normally wear on business-professional attire days. Remember, there are borders between your career and our social life. You should dress one way for play and another way when you mean business. Always ask yourself where you are going and how other people will be dressed when you get there. Is the final destination the opera, the beach, or the office? Dress properly and you will discover the truth in the principle that clothes make the man-and the woman. When you"re in doubt, it"s safe to be on the side of dressing slightly more traditionally than the situation demands. |
1. What is the passage mainly about?_____ |
A. How to dress properly in a business setting. B. How to choose appropriate attire. C. Appropriate attire will make a big difference D. Improper dress will make a person uncomfortable. |
2. Which statement best describes "dress-down days"?_____ |
A. You can wear whatever you like. B. People are usually more careful about dressing. C. We can"t judge a person"s taste by his clothes. D. People"s clothes don"t receive much attention. |
3. Which of the following is NOT the rule offered in the passage about business dress?_____ |
A. Dress a bit traditionally if you are not sure about proper dress for an occasion. B. Think about how others will dress if invited to a dinner. C. For a business meeting and a concert, you should dress differently. D. Ask others for advice when you are not sure about what to dress. |

Don"t get mad--- get promoted When it comes to succeeding at work, conventional wisdom says you should check your emotions at the door. But Anne Kreamer, the author of the new book It"s Always Personal, disagrees. "It reduces people"s ability to bring their best selves to their work," she says. ___1___ Here"s how to turn your emotions into opportunities. ___2___ How to get promoted: Engage in joint(联合的)problem solving. Losing your temper at work is "universally uncool," say Kreamer. But opening your emotional floodgates strategically can lead to solutions if both sides are willing to work together. ___3___ "The specific time and private space establishes boundaries so you have a greater chance of achieving a constructive outcome and maintaining the relationship," Kreamer adds. I feel: Afraid and anxious. How to get promoted: Improve planning skills. ___4___ Identify what"s behind your fear and take specific action --- ask your manager for details and take on some responsibilities. You"ll calm down and do a better job. "No boss minds helping an eager employee learn something new, but every boss hates having to deal with a bungled (搞糟了的) project," says Kreamer. I feel: Happy. How to get promoted: Increase creativity and productivity. When you"re in a positive mood, your brain activity actually shifts, says Kreamer. "Your focus deepens, and your dopamine(多巴胺) levels increase. ___5___" A.I feel: Angry. B.I feel: like crying. C.This helps you see things from a different perspective. D.It"s a signal that there"s a problem that needs to be solved. E.Are you clear about an assignment or underprepared for a meeting? F.Instead, Kreamer suggests acting on your feelings can help you do a good job. G.Rather than face the offender in the heat of the moment, schedule a one-on-one meeting. |

Yosemite Park is one of the most beautiful locations in the United States. A national park that covers over 1,100 miles of land, it stretches across the western slopes (斜坡) of the Sierra Nevada mountains. So it supports a wide variety of biological diversity (生物多样性). When exploring Yosemite, it"s important to understand that you will see all sorts of wildlife, perhaps even some of the more exotic if you"re lucky. If you"re the type of person who loves camping and being outdoors, go on an overnight or several days" backpacking trip, hike up to the falls, try out some rock climbing, go biking and generally enjoy the amazing beauty of Yosemite.

Thus Yosemite truly has something for everyone. If you have a chance, it"s worth a visit, but events like swimming and boating are only available late spring through summer.

Several years ago, I had a huge falling out with one of my best friends. So huge, in fact, that now I can"t even remember what happened. In the past nine years, I"ve seen her twice, and each time we"ve been polite but distant. And that troubles me because we were once inseparable. I"d like nothing more than to go back nine years, and continue our friendship. But how? How do you reconnect with friends you"ve lost throughout the years? Linking to your past The desire to reconnect with lost friends isn"t unusual. Why? Because friends link us to the past. "Friends from years ago are custodians (监护人) of our past," says Sandy Sheehy. Although you can share information about your past with friends you"ve met recently, you don"t have a shared history with them. So you wind up only telling them about your past, rather than sharing it with them. But many people never try to reconnect. Women especially have trouble taking the first step. Shyness or fear that the other person doesn"t want to reconnect often stops many women. And that shouldn"t be. Your friends probably want to be in touch with you as much as you want to be in touch with them. Searching for friends Fortunately, finding lost friends isn"t as difficult as it once was, thanks to tools like the Internet. Our experts offer these suggestions for locating contact information: Search Internet sites designed to locate people like classmates.com and switchboard.com. Contact your high school or college alumni (校友) office to request current address information. Surf online yellow pages. Check current phone records from your friend"s hometown. Network with other friends who might have known your friend. Get in touch with any of her relatives, if you know where they live. If you know where she works, find the company"s website and search the directory of personnel. |

3. What makes us unwilling to reconnect old friends? |
