M: Well, in Nigeria, it’s rude to give a thumbs-up sign.
W: While in Britain, Australia and New Zealand, travelers use it to ask for a ride. And in my motherland China, it’s used to praise someone. It looks like we need to be careful to use body language.
M: Yeah, you’d better search for more information online.
W: OK. The abstract of my paper is almost finished.
M: You also need to pay more attention to the body and the conclusion. And remember the conclusion should reflect your deeper understanding, which shouldn’t be shallow.
W: OK.
M: I hope you can publish your paper one day.

【解析】
【原文】W: Hey welcome to today’s talk! I’m Emma Davis, an AI enthusiast who’s been exploring this since finishing at MIT. I’m excited to share my passion for the incredible world of artificial intelligence, or AI. I’ll kick things off with an awesome story from 2015, in Silicon Valley. Our project was called “Project Skylark” and with Dr. Jack Thompson, a Cornell University bird expert. We wanted to teach a machine to recognize different birds. It was amazing. “Avis”, the AI system, learnt to improve its accuracy over time. In six months, it could identify bird species better than human experts! This showed the incredible potential of AI! It’s come a long way since the 1950s with Alan Turing’s ideas. Modern systems can analyze data, spot patterns, and make decisions on their own. This power has opened up endless possibilities in areas like healthcare, finance, and transportation. One inspiring example comes from Dr. Alice Chen, who in 2018 led a team at Stanford University to develop the computer program “MediScan” that analyzes images and detects early signs of diseases like cancer. MediScan’s accuracy and speed massively surpassed human capabilities, saving thousands of lives. However, it has its challenges and risks. A 2020 report showed concern of AI taking jobs and affecting economy. I love AI but there’s tough conversations about balancing progress, job security, privacy and security as systems get better. Together, we can create a future where AI helps us achieve our wildest dreams.

On her first day tutoring students from low-income families at an after-school program in New York City, Alyssa Kapasi noticed how many kids were lining up for free sandwiches and fruit in the cafeteria. Many of these students don’t get enough to eat at home, so a school lunch or an after-school meal might be the most food they would get all day.
Kapasi, who attends private school, was shocked. She was determined to help. “I want other kids to understand that if you see a problem, you don’t have to wait to be an adult to fix it.” says Kapasi. She and a group of friends are now putting their programming skills to work to create a mobile app called Food for Thought. Through the application, parents will be able to pay for their own children’s meal and will be presented with an option to donate 2-3 dollars to pay for a meal of another student.Other donors will also be able to donate money to help children get lunch in their community.
One creative characteristic of the app is that the receivers of the contributions will be anonymous. To receive financial help, a family will need only a recommendation from a school administrator, and no one else has to know. “I want to make my platform an application that all users feel no shame in using.” says Kapasi.
“It astonished us that in one of the wealthiest and most advanced countries in the world there are still communities that are going hungry. By giving parents an easy option, we encourage their giving and raise their awareness that there are students in their children’s school who are in need.” Kapasi says. She hopes to have the app ready to be used in New York City-based schools during the new school year.
24. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 1
A. Explain how shocked Kapasi was.
B. Evaluate Kapasi’s experience as a volunteer.
C. Tell how the idea for the app came to Kapasi.
D. Describe how the after-school program went on.
25. What can the app be used to do
A. Teach students to be independent.
B. Improve students’ programming skills.
C. Buy school lunches for children in need.
D. Allow parents to keep in touch with their children.
26. What is Kapasi’s future plan
A. To use the app in some schools.
B. To encourage students to donate.
C. To get more parents to visit schools.
D. To make parents aware of world hunger.
27. Which of the following is the best title of this passage
A. A popular app. B. How to help poor students.
C. Let’s buy lunches for poor students. D. Kapasi’s invention-Food for Thought.
【答案】24. C 25. C 26. A 27. D

People tend to cut corners and allow trusted workmates to do their work when working as a team. Now researchers have found that the same thing happens when humans work with robots.
Dietlind Cymek at the Technical University of Berlin in Germany and her colleagues designed an experiment to test whether humans would put in less effort when they think that their personal contribution to a task won’t be noticed.
In the experiment, the researchers asked a group of 42 people to examine images of circuit boards (电路板) for errors using a computer that tracked their work. Half of them looked at boards that had already been checked by a robot, and half were told that they were the only ones responsible for quality control.
People working in partnership with the robot caught fewer errors, after they had already seen that the robot had successfully flagged lots of errors.
The researchers say such teamwork could lead to a drop in motivation if individual effort isn’t visible and warn that there could be safety risks if teams of people and robots work on safety-related tasks in the same way.
Kathleen Richardson at De Montfort University in Leicester, UK, says it is fine to use robots as long as they are effective, but that they should be considered tools rather than workmates or team members. “It just strikes me that workers think when a tool can do something, they let it,” says Richardson.
This is probably down to poor management style, in which individual work isn’t recognised. “I bet you if there was an motivation behind it, and if the humans could get extra pay for spotting errors in the circuit boards, then they’d put a bit more effort into it,” she adds.
28. What is the experiment mainly about
A. Workplace safety. B. Management style.
C. Industrial innovation. D. Working productivity.
29. What do we know about the people working with robots in the experiment
A. They preferred to work individually.
B. They paid less attention to their work.
C. They were not appreciative of robots’ effort.
D. They worried about being replaced by robots.
30. What is Richardson’s attitude towards human-robot cooperation
A. Favorable. B. Unclear. C. Uninterested. D. Doubtful.
31. What does Richardson suggest the management do
A. Correct errors. B. Increase work time.
C. Reward hard work. D. Encourage teamwork.
【答案】28. B 29. B 30. A 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。研究人员发现，当人类与机器人一起工作时，同样的事情也会发生。当人们对一项任务的个人贡献不会被注意到时，他们就会减少努力，这可能要归咎于糟糕的管理风格，因为个人的工作没有得到认可。
【28题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“People tend to cut corners and allow trusted workmates to do their work when working as a team. Now researchers have found that the same thing happens when humans work with robots.(在团队合作中，人们倾向于走捷径，让值得信赖的同事来完成他们的工作。现在，研究人员发现，当人类与机器人一起工作时，同样的事情也会发生)”以及文章的最后一段“This is probably down to poor management style, in which individual work isn’t recognised.(这可能要归咎于糟糕的管理风格，个人的工作没有得到认可。)”可知，文章主要讲述的是人们对一项任务的个人贡献不会被注意到时，他们就会减少努力，因为个人的工作没有得到认可，这可能要归咎于糟糕的管理风格。B项： Management style(管理风格)合乎题意。故选B。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“People working in partnership with the robot caught fewer errors, after they had already seen that the robot had successfully flagged lots of errors.(与机器人合作的人发现的错误更少，因为他们已经看到机器人成功地标记了许多错误)”可知，在实验中与机器人一起工作的人对他们的工作不太注意。故选B。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“Kathleen Richardson at De Montfort University in Leicester, UK, says it is fine to use robots as long as they are effective(英国莱斯特德蒙福特大学的凯瑟琳·理查森说，只要机器人是有效的，就可以使用它们)”可知，Richardson对人机合作的态度是赞成的。故选A。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“This is probably down to poor management style, in which individual work isn’t recognised. “I bet you if there was an motivation behind it, and if the humans could get extra pay for spotting errors in the circuit boards, then they’d put a bit more effort into it,” she adds.(这可能要归咎于糟糕的管理风格，个人的工作没有得到认可。她补充说:“我敢打赌，如果这背后有激励，如果人类发现电路板上的错误可以得到额外的报酬，那么他们就会在这方面付出更多的努力。)”可知，Richardson建议管理层奖励努力工作的员工。故选C。
D
Cars could soon be communicating with each other using 5G to make drivers aware of upcoming dangers, scientists say. The extremely fast mobile Internet would allow for rapid information transmission and could make drivers aware of black ice, pot holes or other dangers up ahead.
Several car manufacturers (制造商) are already using 5G in their vehicles, including as a tool to help serve in the generation of self-driving vehicles.
Experts at Glasgow Caledonian University (GCU) believe the high-speed connection will also improve the reliability and capability of automated vehicles to the point where they will be safer than the manual (手动的) cars being driven today. They predict the number of road traffic accidents, which according to the World Health Organization account for more than 1. 3 million deaths and up to 50 million people injured worldwide every year, will drop really as a result.
Dr Dimitrios Liarokapis, a member of the research group, said, “To have a better idea of what the future vehicles will look like, think of having such cars that not only use sensors to scan what’s around them, they can also talk to each other and exchange safety-related information about their surroundings over an area that covers several square miles. With the help of 5G, a vehicle-generated early warning system that reminds drivers is possible within the next few years. Cars that are close enough to the danger area will transmit warning messages to other cars around them using short-range communication technologies, but also to cars further away using 5G, fast and reliably.”
A few manufacturers are already working on connected cars. Of them, Ford told its intention to fit 80 percent of its future vehicles with technology that warns drivers about upcoming road accidents, bad weather and traffic jams.
32. What is the main idea of paragraph 1
A. How cars can be equipped with 5G.
B. Skills of drivers’ avoiding dangers ahead.
C. How cars can be controlled by relevant departments.
D. Benefits of 5G to traffic safety by sharing information.
33. In what aspect will the experts try to improve automated vehicles
A. Their engines. B. Their reliability.
C. Their appearance. D. Their speed.
34. Why are the numbers mentioned in paragraph 3
A. To state that people could have avoided traffic accidents if careful.
B. To express that traffic accidents happen more frequently.
C. To indicate traffic accidents are somewhat under control.
D. To show the serious consequences of traffic accidents.
35. What can we learn from the fourth paragraph
A. The future cars can be available within the next several years.
B. It is hard for future cars to use sensors to scan what’s around them.
C. The future cars will only transmit warning messages to other cars around them.
D. The future cars can talk to each other over an area covering about dozens of square miles.
【答案】32. D 33. B 34. D 35. A

【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“With the help of 5G, a vehicle-generated early warning system that reminds drivers is possible within the next few years. Cars that are close enough to the danger area will transmit warning messages to other cars around them using short-range communication technologies, but also to cars further away using 5G, fast and reliably.(在5G的帮助下，未来几年内，一个提醒驾驶员的车载预警系统成为可能。距离危险区域足够近的汽车会使用短程通信技术向周围的其他汽车发送警告信息，也会使用5G快速可靠地向更远的汽车发送警告消息。)”根据最后一段“A few manufacturers are already working on connected cars. Of them, Ford told its intention to fit 80 percent of its future vehicles with technology that warns drivers about upcoming road accidents, bad weather and traffic jams.”（一些制造商已经在研发联网汽车。其中，福特表示，它打算为未来80%的汽车配备警告驾驶员即将发生的道路事故、恶劣天气和交通堵塞的技术。）可知，未来的汽车可能在未来几年内上市。故选A项。

根据下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Language is a part of culture and plays a very important role in it. Without language, culture would not be possible. ___36___ Body movement, eye contact, gesture, and facial expression are other forms of language we call nonverbal communication. Body language makes up the largest part of our nonverbal communication. According to Social Anthropologist, Edward T. Hall, in a normal conversation between two persons, less than 15% of social meaning is transmitted (传达) by words.
___37___ And people have different gestures to convey their expressions. However, nonverbal communication, like traffic, is not random (随意的); it has a purpose. ___38___ Learning the different common rules of body language in different cultures is very useful for us to understand each other better.
People coming from the same culture share common understanding by using the same body language such as eye management, facial expressions, gestures, and body movements. But in different cultures nonverbal communication takes on different patterns. For example, “arms”, which are used little by Nordics during a conversation, are an important element in one’s communicative weaponry (武器) in Italy, Spain, and South America. In Africa, standing in a too “open” fashion, means that your posture might be inappropriate. ___39___ In cultures such as America, where you often stand with your feet shoulder-length apart, arms at your side, standing in this fashion might be interpreted as being shy and insecure. ___40___
A. If you know how to communicate with people from different countries.
B. In these cultures, one should stand with feet pressed together and hands interlaced in front of the body.
C. Different cultures have different ways of using nonverbal communication.
D. Language is not the only way to express our ideas and feelings.
E. And there are common rules to guide its flow.
F. So you should first learn about their body language before you travel to other countries.
G. Misuse of body language can be unpleasant.
【答案】36. D 37. C 38. E 39. B 40. F
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。肢体语言可以帮助人们传递信息，但是同一种姿势可能会因文化不同而产生不同的含义。
【36题详解】
根据下文“Body movement, eye contact, gesture, and facial expression are other forms of language we call nonverbal communication.(身体动作、眼神交流、手势和面部表情是我们称之为非语言交流的其他形式的语言。)”可知，主要说明了除了语言还有其他的非语言交流，D项的“not the only”为顺承关系，指出了语言不是唯一的交流方式，D选项“语言并不是表达我们思想和感情的唯一方式。”符合语境，故选D。
【37题详解】
根据下文“And people have different gestures to convey their expressions. However, nonverbal communication, like traffic, is not random (随意的); it has a purpose.(人们有不同的手势来表达他们的表情。然而，非语言交流，就像交通一样，不是随机的；它是有目的的)”可知，上文主要提到了人们用不同手势表达自己。故C选项“不同的文化有不同的使用非语言交流的方式”符合语境，故选C。
【38题详解】
根据上文“However, nonverbal communication, like traffic, is not random (随意的); it has a purpose.(然而，非语言交流，就像交通一样，不是随机的；它是有目的的)”可知，上文主要提到了非语言交流的方式是有目的的，故本句继续提到非语言交流背后的规则，以及空后“Learning the different common rules of body language in different cultures is very useful for us to understand each other better.(学习不同文化中不同的共同肢体语言规则对我们更好地相互理解是非常有用的。)”E项中的“there are common rules to guide its flow”与上文中的“is not random”相照应；its指代上文中的“nonverbal communication”。E项中“common rules”与下文文中的common rules为原词复现关系，故E选项“有一些共同的规则来引导它的流动”符合语境，故选E。
【39题详解】
根据上文“In Africa, standing in a too “open” fashion, means that your posture might be inappropriate. (在非洲，站得太“开放”意味着你的姿势可能不合适。)”可知，这里指出非洲文化中应使用的正确站姿。本句与上文为顺承关系。B项中的 stand with feet pressed together and hands interlaced是不开放的一种姿势。B选项“在这些文化中，一个人应该站在前面，两脚并拢，双手交叉。”符合语境，故选B。
【40题详解】
根据上文“In Africa, standing in a too “open” fashion, means that your posture might be inappropriate. 4 In cultures such as America, where you often stand with your feet shoulder length apart, arms at your side, standing in this fashion might be interpreted as being shy and insecure.(在非洲，站得太“开放”意味着你的姿势可能不合适。……在像美国这样的文化中，你经常双脚分开站着，手臂放在身体两侧，这样站着可能会被理解为害羞和没有安全感)”可知，指出非洲文化和美国文化中使用的站姿有不同的含义。故F选项“因此，在前往其他国家/地区之前，您应该首先了解他们的肢体语言。”符合语境，故选F。

It ____58____ (praise) the winners for giving “humanity new tools for ____59____ (explore)the world of electrons inside atoms and molecules (分子).”
____60____ rapid are the movements of electrons inside atoms and molecules that they are measured in attoseconds –____61____ almost incomprehensibly short unit of time. “An attosecond is to one second as one second is to the age of the universe,” the committee explained.
“They were able to, in a sense, provide an illumination (照明) tool that allows us to watch the ____62____ (gather) of molecules: How things come together ____63____ (make)a molecule,” Bob Rosner, president of the American Physical Society and a professor at the University of Chicago, told CNN.

【63题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意同上。结合句意可知，此处表示目的，应用动词不定式，作目的状语，故填to make。
【64题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意：这些运动“发生得非常快，通常我们不知道它们是如何发生的，也不知道事件的顺序是什么，” Rosner说。分析句子可知，空处和“how they actually occur”并列，引导宾语从句，引导词在从句中作表语，指“事件的顺序是什么”，应用连接代词what引导，故填what。
【65题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：但他们的工作意味着科学家们现在可以观察到这些运动是如何发生的，他补充说。句子是描述一个一般性事实，应用一般现在时，主语work是不可数名词，谓语动词用单数，故填means。

One day a boy found a bird lying on the ground, squawking (叫喊) for help. Feeling sad for the bird, the boy petted it gently and wanted to help it, but he didn’t know how since he was just 7 years old. So he took the bird in his hands, carried it carefully home and showed it to his parents. At once, his parents took action. They washed the bird and found it injured. With the help of his parents, the young boy dressed the wound. But it would need time and care for the bird to completely recover. As the bird had become dear to his heart, the boy immediately offered to care for the bird.
The boy named his new friend “Lucky”. He began to feed the bird and he even ran out to collect grass to build a soft nest (鸟巢) for the bird. Then, he put the nest beside his bed. The boy and the bird were sleeping together and living together. Soon they became close friends. The boy always told it about his experiences in school and his secrets. Lucky, an extremely patient audience, usually responded to him with a few nods and chirps (叽叽喳喳声). The boy’s parents also loved Lucky. They regarded it as a family member.
In the course of time, Lucky gradually recovered and started to hop (脚跳) and jump a little bit and exercise its wings. That made everyone happier. Soon it would be able to fly. How wonderful!
But what then The boy became thoughtful and started to think. “If Lucky started to fly, it could simply fly away one day.” But that would not happen. The boy loved his friend so much that he couldn’t imagine parting with it. The boy wondered, “I should surely stay with Lucky forever. But how Keep the windows closed all the time That was not practical.”

Paragraph 2:
Knowing the bad situation, the boy’s parents decided to help Lucky as well as their son.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Then, he made a decision: He bought a small cage and kept Lucky in it. In the beginning, Lucky seemed fine inside it. He believed he had made the right choice to keep Lucky close and secure. However, as time passed, things took a turn for the worse. Fully recovered, Lucky wanted to spread its wings and fly in the sky. When all its attempts failed, what Lucky could do was sitting inside the little cage and squawking sadly. Several days later, Lucky refused to eat and drink. Worried and confused, he didn’t know what to do about it.
Knowing the bad situation, the boy’s parents decided to help Lucky as well as their son. They told their son, “If you really love Lucky, you should think of how to make it happy.” After careful consideration, the boy opened both his heart and the cage. Lucky was released and flew away. Two weeks later, a wonderful thing happened: Lucky returned, followed by a group of birds. They flew around the boy and chirped happily, seeming to say thanks to him. Instead of losing a friend, the boy had made many more.

On her first day tutoring students from low-income families at an after-school program in New York City, Alyssa Kapasi noticed how many kids were lining up for free sandwiches and fruit in the cafeteria. Many of these students don’t get enough to eat at home, so a school lunch or an after-school meal might be the most food they would get all day.
Kapasi, who attends private school, was shocked. She was determined to help. “I want other kids to understand that if you see a problem, you don’t have to wait to be an adult to fix it.” says Kapasi. She and a group of friends are now putting their programming skills to work to create a mobile app called Food for Thought. Through the application, parents will be able to pay for their own children’s meal and will be presented with an option to donate 2-3 dollars to pay for a meal of another student.Other donors will also be able to donate money to help children get lunch in their community.
One creative characteristic of the app is that the receivers of the contributions will be anonymous. To receive financial help, a family will need only a recommendation from a school administrator, and no one else has to know. “I want to make my platform an application that all users feel no shame in using.” says Kapasi.
“It astonished us that in one of the wealthiest and most advanced countries in the world there are still communities that are going hungry. By giving parents an easy option, we encourage their giving and raise their awareness that there are students in their children’s school who are in need.” Kapasi says. She hopes to have the app ready to be used in New York City-based schools during the new school year.
24. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 1
A. Explain how shocked Kapasi was.
B. Evaluate Kapasi’s experience as a volunteer.
C. Tell how the idea for the app came to Kapasi.
D. Describe how the after-school program went on.

D. Allow parents to keep in touch with their children.
26. What is Kapasi’s future plan
A. To use the app in some schools.
B. To encourage students to donate.
C. To get more parents to visit schools.
D. To make parents aware of world hunger.

People tend to cut corners and allow trusted workmates to do their work when working as a team. Now researchers have found that the same thing happens when humans work with robots.
Dietlind Cymek at the Technical University of Berlin in Germany and her colleagues designed an experiment to test whether humans would put in less effort when they think that their personal contribution to a task won’t be noticed.
In the experiment the researchers asked a group of 42 people to examine images of circuit boards (电路板) for errors using a computer that tracked their work. Half of them looked at boards that had already been checked by a robot, and half were told that they were the only ones responsible for quality control.
People working in partnership with the robot caught fewer errors, after they had already seen that the robot had successfully flagged lots of errors.
The researchers say such teamwork could lead to a drop in motivation if individual effort isn’t visible and warn that there could be safety risks if teams of people and robots work on safety-related tasks in the same way.
Kathleen Richardson at De Montfort University in Leicester, UK, says it is fine to use robots as long as they are effective, but that they should be considered tools rather than workmates or team members. “It just strikes me that workers think when a tool can do something, they let it,” says Richardson.
This is probably down to poor management style, in which individual work isn’t recognised. “I bet you if there was an motivation behind it, and if the humans could get extra pay for spotting errors in the circuit boards, then they’d put a bit more effort into it,” she adds.
28. What is the experiment mainly about
A. Workplace safety. B. Management style.
C. Industrial innovation. D. Working productivity.
29. What do we know about the people working with robots in the experiment
A. They preferred to work individually.
B. They paid less attention to their work.
C. They were not appreciative of robots’ effort.
D. They worried about being replaced by robots.
30. What is Richardson’s attitude towards human-robot cooperation
A. Favorable. B. Unclear. C. Uninterested. D. Doubtful.
31. What does Richardson suggest the management do
A. Correct errors. B. Increase work time.
C. Reward hard work. D. Encourage teamwork.
D
Cars could soon be communicating with each other using 5G to make drivers aware of upcoming dangers, scientists say. The extremely fast mobile Internet would allow for rapid information transmission and could make drivers aware of black ice, pot holes or other dangers up ahead.
Several car manufacturers (制造商) are already using 5G in their vehicles, including as a tool to help serve in the generation of self-driving vehicles.
Experts at Glasgow Caledonian University (GCU) believe the high-speed connection will also improve the reliability and capability of automated vehicles to the point where they will be safer than the manual (手动的) cars being driven today. They predict the number of road traffic accidents, which according to the World Health Organization account for more than 1. 3 million deaths and up to 50 million people injured worldwide every year, will drop really as a result.
Dr Dimitrios Liarokapis, a member of the research group, said, “To have a better idea of what the future vehicles will look like, think of having such cars that not only use sensors to scan what’s around them, they can also talk to each other and exchange safety-related information about their surroundings over an area that covers several square miles. With the help of 5G, a vehicle-generated early warning system that reminds drivers is possible within the next few years. Cars that are close enough to the danger area will transmit warning messages to other cars around them using short-range communication technologies, but also to cars further away using 5G, fast and reliably.”
A few manufacturers are already working on connected cars. Of them, Ford told its intention to fit 80 percent of its future vehicles with technology that warns drivers about upcoming road accidents, bad weather and traffic jams.
32. What is the main idea of paragraph 1
A. How cars can be equipped with 5G.
B. Skills of drivers’ avoiding dangers ahead.
C. How cars can be controlled by relevant departments.
D. Benefits of 5G to traffic safety by sharing information.
33. In what aspect will the experts try to improve automated vehicles
A. Their engines. B. Their reliability.
C. Their appearance. D. Their speed.
34. Why are the numbers mentioned in paragraph 3
A. To state that people could have avoided traffic accidents if careful.
B. To express that traffic accidents happen more frequently.
C. To indicate traffic accidents are somewhat under control.
D. To show the serious consequences of traffic accidents.
35. What can we learn from the fourth paragraph
A. The future cars can be available within the next several years.
B. It is hard for future cars to use sensors to scan what’s around them.
C. The future cars will only transmit warning messages to other cars around them.
D. The future cars can talk to each other over an area covering about dozens of square miles.

根据下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Language is a part of culture and plays a very important role in it. Without language, culture would not be possible. ___36___ Body movement, eye contact, gesture, and facial expression are other forms of language we call nonverbal communication. Body language makes up the largest part of our nonverbal communication. According to Social Anthropologist, Edward T. Hall, in a normal conversation between two persons, less than 15% of social meaning is transmitted (传达) by words.
___37___ And people have different gestures to convey their expressions. However, nonverbal communication, like traffic, is not random (随意的); it has a purpose. ___38___ Learning the different common rules of body language in different cultures is very useful for us to understand each other better.
People coming from the same culture share common understanding by using the same body language such as eye management, facial expressions, gestures, and body movements. But in different cultures nonverbal communication takes on different patterns. For example, “arms”, which are used little by Nordics during a conversation, are an important element in one’s communicative weaponry (武器) in Italy, Spain, and South America. In Africa, standing in a too “open” fashion, means that your posture might be inappropriate. ___39___ In cultures such as America, where you often stand with your feet shoulder-length apart, arms at your side, standing in this fashion might be interpreted as being shy and insecure. ___40___
A. If you know how to communicate with people from different countries.
B. In these cultures, one should stand with feet pressed together and hands interlaced in front of the body.
C. Different cultures have different ways of using nonverbal communication.
D. Language is not the only way to express our ideas and feelings.
E. And there are common rules to guide its flow.
F. So you should first learn about their body language before you travel to other countries.
G. Misuse of body language can be unpleasant.

One day a boy found a bird lying on the ground, squawking (叫喊) for help. Feeling sad for the bird, the boy petted it gently and wanted to help it, but he didn’t know how since he was just 7 years old. So he took the bird in his hands, carried it carefully home and showed it to his parents. At once, his parents took action. They washed the bird and found it injured. With the help of his parents, the young boy dressed the wound. But it would need time and care for the bird to completely recover. As the bird had become dear to his heart, the boy immediately offered to care for the bird.
The boy named his new friend “Lucky”. He began to feed the bird and he even ran out to collect grass to build a soft nest (鸟巢) for the bird. Then, he put the nest beside his bed. The boy and the bird were sleeping together and living together. Soon they became close friends. The boy always told it about his experiences in school and his secrets. Lucky, an extremely patient audience, usually responded to him with a few nods and chirps (叽叽喳喳声). The boy’s parents also loved Lucky. They regarded it as a family member.
In the course of time, Lucky gradually recovered and started to hop (脚跳) and jump a little bit and exercise its wings. That made everyone happier. Soon it would be able to fly. How wonderful!
But what then The boy became thoughtful and started to think. “If Lucky started to fly, it could simply fly away one day.” But that would not happen. The boy loved his friend so much that he couldn’t imagine parting with it. The boy wondered, “I should surely stay with Lucky forever. But how Keep the windows closed all the time That was not practical.”
