In fact, non-verbal communication takes up about 50% of what we really 38 , And body language is particularly 39 when we attempt to communicate across cultures. Indeed, what is called body language is so 40 a part of us that it's actually often unnoticed.

Clearly, a great deal is going on when people 51 . And only a part of it is in the words themselves. And when parties are from 52 cultures, there's a strong possibility of 53 . But whatever the situation, the best 54 is to obey the Golden Rule: treat others as you would like to be 55

Bertie knew there was something in the wind. His mother had been sad in recent days, not sick, just strangely sad. The lion had just lain down beside him, his head warm on Bertie’s feet, when Father cleared his throat and began, “You’ll soon be eight, Bertie. A boy needs a proper education. We’ve found the right place for you, a school near Salisbury in England. ”
His heart filled with a terrible fear, all Bertie could think of was his white lion. “But the lion,” he cried, “What about the lion?”
“I’m afraid there’s something else I have to tell you, ” his father said. Looking across at Bertie’s mother, he took a deep breath. Then he told Bertie he had met a circus owner from France, who was over in Africa looking for lions to buy. He would come to their farm in a few days.
“No! You can’t send him to a circus!” said Bertie. “People will come to see him. He’ll be shut up behind bars. I promised him he never would be. And they will laugh at him. He’d rather die. Any animal would ! ” But as he looked across the table at them, he knew their minds were quite made up.
Bertie felt completely betrayed. He waited until he heard his father’s deep breathing next door. With his white lion at his heels, he crept downstairs in his pyjamas, took down his father’s rifle from the rack and stepped out into the night. He ran and ran till his legs could run no more. As the sun came up over the grassland, he climbed to the top of a hill and sat down, his arms round the lion’s neck. The time had come.
“Be wild now”, he whispered. “You’ve got to be wild. Don’t ever come home. All my life I’ll think of you. I promise I will. ” He buried his head in the lion’s neck. Then, Bertie clambered down the hill and walked away.
When he looked back, the lion was still sitting there watching him; but then he stood up, yawned, stretched, and sprang down after him. Bertie shouted at him, but he kept coming. He threw sticks. He threw stones. Nothing worked.
There was only one thing left to do. With tears filling his eyes and his mouth, he lifted the rifle to his shoulder and fired over the lion’s head.
56. Bertie’s mother was sad probably because she _______.
A. had been seriously ill recently B. had decided to send Bertie to school
C. knew selling the lion would upset Bertie D. knew Bertie would hate to go to England

58. In the last paragraph, the boy lifted the rifle to _____.
A. kill the lion out of fear B. threaten the lion back to the wild
C. protect himself from the lion D. show his anger towards his father
59. The passage intends to show that _____.

C. animals usually lead a miserable life in circuses D. people and animals can be faithful to each other

What brings a nation together? Of the four choices - shared values, language, history, and religion, it’s shared values. In our latest poll (调査), seven out of 16 countries chose values as the greatest factor bringing a nation together, and six preferred language. Both choices scored high in the poll, suggesting that our values and how we express them are closely linked Still, history was not forgotten in some countries, particularly in Mexico and Russia. Even Canada and the United States chose national histories as the second-most important factor uniting their people. The biggest surprise? Not one country picked religion as its top choice.
Respect your elders
| In most countries, the oldest generation considered values more important to a nation than did those who are under 45 years old. | Do you speak Canadian? Language scored lower in Canada than in all other countries polled, perhaps because the country speaks two official languages, French and English. | Church and state Most people polled do not connect their religious beliefs to their national pride. Religion ranked last in 13 countries — with France scoring it at 1%, the lowest of all. |
A. Language. B. Values. C. History. D. Religion.
61. In which country did language score the lowest in their national pride?
A. Canada. B. Mexico. C. France. D. America.

Looking for some inspiration or the “write” kind of ideas for your creative stories? To start with, some writers describe winter by using their five senses or their imagination. Others write on their favorite winter activity. Whatever you choose to write about, working on a winter story can always help to improve your writing skills. Now read the following story and see if it helps get rid of any icy writing block you’ ve been struggling with.
A Winter Adventure
Beep, beep. Beep-beep: the alarm clock rang. Slowly, I got out of warm bed down onto the wooden floor which the winter had thrown its cold upon. The bitter cold temperature penetrated (穿透)my socks and I hurried to put my feet in shoes.
Looking out of the window, I watched the white snow, soft and thick, drop onto rooftops and trees. Half an hour later, finishing the last of my hot chocolate, I prepared to enter the adventure that waited for me outside. I buttoned my jacket and fastened my boots. Hat on, I opened the door and was greeted by the winter coldness.
In the depths of winter, the early morning did not have the rush of the rest of the year. Most of my neighbours were put off by the cold, and stayed in bed until the sun had climbed higher into the sky.
Unseen by those who remained locked inside their homes, warm in their beds, I enjoyed being alone with the beauty of the wintertime. Those indoors were unable to appreciate the snow-scapes, ice crystals, frost and the crisp(清新的)breeze. For them, the coming of winter meant just the arrival of the cold.
Appreciation depends on contrasts. One cannot love the warmth of April if one has not known the freezing cold of winter. Later that year, the heat of the sun on my skin would be all the more wonderful for my memories of that cold morning and others like it.
63. The underlined word “adventure” refers to____________.
A. getting out of bed on the cold winter morning. B. enjoying the loveliness of the winter outdoors
C. going skiing on the cold winter morning D. throwing snowballs with friends.
. According to the story A Winter Adventure, most of the neighbours _________.
A. didn’t work in winter B. stayed up late in winter
C. missed the beauty of winter D. enjoyed the seasons except winter
65. Which of these statements is true according to the story A Winter Adventure?
A. Of all the seasons, the writer loves winter most
B. The writer regrets that he went out on the freezing cold winter morning.
C. The writer believes contrast makes our experiences of the seasons lovelier.
D. The writer values the autumn and summer more than the winter
66. What function does the story A Winter Adventure serve?
A. To share some winter thoughts with readers. B. To show readers how to work on a winter story.
C. To inspire readers to take more exercise in winter D. To tell readers how to appreciate the beauty of winter.

“Just take a deep breath.” “Don’t think about it.” “You’re more likely to die in a car wreck on the way to the airport than you are in a plane crash.” These are just some words given to people with a fear of flying. But as Tom Cruise, playing Lt. Daniel Kaffee in the movie A Few Good Men, said, “I get sick when I fly because I’m afraid of crashing into a large mountain. I don’t think Daniel will help.”
But there’s a new application that just may. Today, the VALK Foundation, a Dutch group that’s a partnership between KLM Royal Dutch Airlines and the University of Leiden, launches the app in the US. The VALK Foundation was one of the first centers for research and fear-of-flying treatment in the world and is the organizer of three world conferences on fear of flying.
The foundation said the app, called Flight App VALK, is the first scientifically-developed, web-based treatment for people who suffer from mild to moderate fear of flying.
“The fear of flying application we have created aims to transfer all of the knowledge we have developed through our program into a mobile application that will help ease traveller’s fears,” said Dr. Lucas van Gerwen, director of the VALK Foundation. Dr. van Gerwen is also a psychologist and professional pilot with more than 30 years experience.
The foundation said up to 30% of adults are fearful fliers. The Flight App is designed to help relax passengers before and during flights by educating users about flight safety and turbulence (动荡). It explains the sounds and sensations they can expect during departure, flight and landing. And, if a passenger’s flight stress reaches a panic level, they press a special panic button which provides audio and written information to help decrease stress level. Most importantly, the Flight App can be used during the flight in the airplane mode. Once downloaded, the program does not require Internet connection in the air.
67. By saying the words at the beginning of the passage, people are expected to ______.
A. decrease their fear of flying B. get rid of their doubt about plane
C. have a good time on their flight journey D. use some medicine to cure their fear of flying
68. Flight App VALK is aimed to ______.
A. help passengers experience the fear of flying B. help relax passengers before and during flights
C. treat people who suffer from mild fear of flying D. teach people the basic knowledge of taking flight
69. According to the passage, the VALK Foundation ______.
A. is a group focusing on psychology on the flight B. was the first center to do research into fear of flying
C. organize the world conferences on fear of flying annually
D. focuses on researching and offering treatment on fear of flying
70. What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?
A. Many adults are suffering from fear of flying B. It’s convenient for people to use the Flight App
C. Many planes will be installed with the Flight App.
D. The Flight App can decrease stress levels effectively
71. In which column of a newspaper can we read this passage?
A. Culture B. Entertainment C. Technology D. Education

As you are probably aware, the latest job markets news isn’t good: Unemployment is still more than 9 percent, and new job growth has fallen close to zero. That’s bad for the economy, of course. And it may be especially discouraging if you happen to be looking for a job or hoping to change careers right now. But it actually shouldn’t matter to you nearly as much as you think.
That’s because job growth numbers don’t matter to job hunters as much as job turnover data. After all, existing jobs open up every day due to promotions, resignations, terminations, and retirements.(Yes, people are retiring even in this economy.) In both good times and bad, turnover creates more openings than economic growth does .Even in June of 2007, when the economy was still humming along, job growth was only 132,000, while turnover was 4.7 million!
And as it turns out, even today — with job growth near zero — over 4 million job hunters are being hired every month.
I don’t mean to imply that overall job growth doesn’t have an impact on one’s ability to land a job. It’s true that if total employment were higher, it would mean more jobs for all of us to choose from (and compete for).And it’s true that there are currently more people applying for each available job opening, regardless of whether it’s a new one or not.
But what often distinguishes those who land jobs from those who don’t is their ability to stay motivated. They’re willing to do the hard work of identifying their valuable skills; be creative about where and how to look; learn how to present themselves to potential employers; and keep going, even after repeated rejections. The Bureau of Labor Statistics data shows that 2.7 million people who wanted and were available for work hadn’t looked within the last four weeks and were no longer even classified as unemployed.
So don’t let the headlines fool you into giving up. Four million people get hired every month in the U.S. You can be one of them.
72. The author tends to believe that high unemployment rate ______.
A. take job opportunities from people B. prevents many people from changing careers.
C. should not stop people from looking for a job. D .does not mean the U.S. economy is worsening.
73. What does the author say about overall job growth?
A. It doesn’t have much effect on individual job seekers.
B. It increases people’s confidence in the economy.
C. It gives a ray of hope to the unemployed.
D. It doesn’t mean greater job security for the employed.
74. What is the key to landing a job according to the author?
A. Education B. Intelligence C. Persistence D. Experience
75. What do we learn about the unemployment figures in the US mentioned in Paragraph 5 ?
A. They clearly indicate how healthy the economy is.
B. They provide the public with the latest information.
C. They warn of the structural problems in the economy.
D. They don’t include those who have stopped looking for a job.

I dream to be a popular teacher in the future because I hope I can bring knowledge and happiness to children.
With time passing by, my wonderful middle school life is coming to the end. Just when I entered Sunshine School, I was a childish boy who liked playing computer games. I still remembered my first mid-term exam. I failed many subjects. I even thought about giving up. It was Ms. Zhang who encouraged me to face the difficulties bravely. With the help of my teacher, I redoubled my efforts. Nowadays, I came across difficulties and always came out on top in the school subjects. Thanks to Ms. Zhang, I have gained a lot both in my study and in my life. I hope I can be as excellent as my teacher.
All in all, I will learn harder to get more knowledge so as to lay a good foundation for my future. I will make full use of my every second and make my dream come true. I believe I can succeed!下载本文
