A

Whether it is a drop of the head or a roll of the eyes, we can tell others how we‟re feeling without saying a word.

According to Allan Pease, author of Body Language in the Workplace, our ability to express ourselves can influence our success. Having spent much of his time focusing on the communication skills of adults, Mr Pease is now turning his attention to educating children on the importance of understanding body language.

Mr Pease has created a 10-week course aimed to teach children the basics of body language and has been teaching it to a class of seven-year-old Sunshine Coast Grammar School students. “Over 10 weeks these children learned how to introduce themselves, impress people quickly, use the power of facial expressions, and use friendly gestures to avoid bad signals. ” he said.

Mr Pease said he decided to start the programme after seeing the poor communication skills shown by young people at a high school graduation ceremony. “A friend of mine invited me to their child‟s graduation ceremony ” he said. “The star students were asked to make a short talk and they were shocking, dragging their feet across the floor. It was a shame.”

“The youth really don‟t make good impressions and that‟s because they aren‟t taught how to carry themselves in a correct manner,” Mr Pease said. “To make matters worse, these people are told to be themselves. That‟s bad advice.”

After the success of his course, Mr Pease hopes to have the programme introduced into schools across Australia. “I‟d like to introduce it to kids and teens through a series of short films that teachers can use,” he said. “Good communication skills are so important and these need to be introduced to young people.”

21. What do we know about Mr Pease?

A. He is an expert on body language.

B. He is a part-time grammar teacher.

C. He doubts the importance of graduation ceremonies.

D. He has spent many years studying children‟s behavior.

22. The underlined word “appalled” in Paragraph 4 probably means ______.

A. moved

C. puzzled

B. shocked D. encouraged B. how to become a star D. how to use correct gesture 23. After attending his friend‟s child‟s graduation ceremony, Mr Pease decided to teach students ______. A. how to be themselves C. how to make a short talk A. To make a few films. B. To write a book about children‟s body language. C. To give kids and teens good advice on interviews. D. To introduce his 10-week course to schools across Australia.

B

Age discrimination (歧视) is a large problem in the United States today. Teenagers are considered dishonest, old people are considered incapable (无能力的), kids considered noisy.

Picture this: a teenage boy, with a group of friends, walks laughing into a store. They read some magazines, walk by the candy, and then walk out without buying anything. What‟s the first thought of this? they stole something. Maybe the employees would even go as far as to call the police about these boys, who didn‟t steal anything but were discriminated against simply because they were “teenage boys”.

This happens every day, all over America. We don‟t tell the kids much, because they “won‟t understand”, they‟re “too young”. We feel surprised when we see old people run marathons, or even take part in simple fun activities such as volleyball or swimming, because they are “old”, and “incapable”.

People who are discriminated against, no matter what the reason, can be hurt by it. They can be offended, because it isn‟t something they can help. Like my example of the teenage boy above, he was simply having fun as he walked into the store. He wasn‟t planning to steal anything or to cause any trouble; he could even be one of the best students in school, but he was discriminated against for being a teenager.

Of course, this doesn‟t mean you should persuade your grandparents right away to run a marathon, but give them a little trust. They are capable of doing things we are, and sometimes more. So next time you tell your little brother that he‟s “too young to understand” or think that your grandmother is “too old” to do sports, listen to yourself. I know you are offended by being considered as a teenager, so how do you think they feel? Remember, it all hurts. Everyone should have equal opportunities, no matter how old he is.

25. The underlined word “It” in Paragraph 2 refers to “ ______”.

A. The fact B. The result D. The problem C. The thought 24. Which of the following is Pease‟s wish? 26. The author mentions the teenage boy in Paragraph 2 to show that ______. A. people should give more opportunities to teenagers B. age discrimination is serious in today‟s world C. teenagers should behave in a proper way D. it‟s really hard to depend on teenagers

27. The author holds the view that ______.

A. we shouldn‟t judge others by their age B. we should try to help incapable people C. we should encourage old people to run marathons D. we shouldn‟t enter a store if we don‟t want to buy anything A. an unfortunate teenager C. equal opportunities B. different age groups D. a social problem

C 28. The text mainly discusses ______.

Money, jewels and important documents may not be the only valuables placed in banks these days. Some There are ten milk banks across the United States, where mothers can donate their extra milk to other Experts say breast milk is the best food for babies. The World Health Organization (WHO) says it is the only mothers store their breast milk (母乳) in banks. women‟s babies. food babies should get during the first six months of life, in most cases. Breast milk is especially important for babies born too early. Sometimes these premature (早熟的) babies must stay in the hospital for many weeks.

James Cameron is a doctor who treats the newborns at Lutheran Children‟s Hospital in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Doctor James Cameron says, “The fact is that there are so many different proteins and specialized sugars in Lucy Baur lives near Fort Wayne. She breasted both her children and always had more milk than they needed. He says breast milk is almost like medicine. the breast milk that it can help provide immunity(免疫性). It‟s very important for the health of the newborns. She wanted to donate to the Indiana Mothers Milk Bank in Indianapolis. But freezing and shipping milk can be expensive. Then, a station opened near her home.

Milk donations in the United States work like this. Donors (捐赠者) must be willing to provide almost three liters of breast milk. They freeze the milk and take it to the station. There, employees warm the milk and mix it with other mothers‟ milk. Then, the milk is heated to kill bacteria. After that, the technicians test samples (样本) of all the milk to make sure they are safe and healthful. The milk is re-frozen and sent to the main milk bank. The milk bank transports the milk to hospitals to feed premature or sick babies.

Donors are tested for diseases before any milk is accepted. They are not permitted to smoke, use illegal drugs or drink too much alcohol.

29. Breast milk can ______.

31. The passage mainly talks about ______.

A. the donation of breast milk in the United States

A young man who lived in London was in love with a beautiful girl. Soon she became his fiancée （未婚妻）. The man was very poor while the girl was rich. The young man wanted to make her a present on her birthday. He wanted to buy something beautiful for her, but he had no idea how to do it, as he had very little money.

( 2 )

People often say that the Englishman's home is his castle. They mean that the home is very important and personal. Most people in Britain live in houses rather than flats, and many people own their homes. This means that they can make them personal, and change them in any way they like. Most houses have a garden, even if it is a small one, and the garden is usually loved. The house and the garden are the private space of a person. In a crowded city a person knows that he or she has a private space which is only for himself or herself and for invited friends.

People usually like to mark their space. If you are on the beach you may have spread your towels around you; in the rain you may have put your coat or small bag on the seat beside you; in a library you may spread your books around you.

Once I was traveling on a train to London. I was on a section for four people and there was a table between us. The man opposite to me had his briefcase on the table. There was no space on my side of the table at all. I was unhappy. I thought he thought that he owned the whole table. I had been reading a book about nonverbal （非语言的） communication so I took various papers out of my bag and put them on his case! When I did this he suddenly became angry and his eyes nearly popped out （突出）of his head. I had taken up his space! A few minutes later I took my papers off in order to read them. He immediately moved his case to his side of the table.

6. What does the first sentence in Paragraph 1 mean?

a. Englishmen usually live in homes instead of castles. b. The castle is more important than the home.

c. The home is more important than the castle.

d. The home matters greatly to Englishmen.

a. They can make changes in houses in which they live. b. They can keep the private space to themselves and friends.

c. They can own private space like the house and the garden. d. They love houses more than gardens.

新视野大学英语第一册读写教程_完型填空_1-6

(1)I, for one, am far from ready to use online courses for my learning. Don’t get me wrong I am very happy about all the communication and learning opportunities the courses have give us. But for me those opportunities should not be used to replace classroom activities. In other words, they are only tools to help me learn what has already been offered in the classroom.

I love the classroom. I love having classmates. There are forty students in my class right now, and I think it’s great. I even love having classmates who are better than me. And, Let’s not forget the smell of ink on paper, the sound of chalk on a blackboard, the hardness of a wooden bench or heat inside the classroom in early September. I love it all. But most of all, I love having a teacher—a ―real live‖ teacher. I get excited when I am in the classroom with a good teacher. I learn in a way that has been proven to work. I am given insight not only into a certain subject, but also into the world.

What makes having a classroom teacher so special? A good teacher pushes me to succeed. A good teacher rewards me with praise when I have done well and stays positive and gives me hope when I am down . I don’t believe that a teacher using a virtual classroom can reach out to in the same way. A teacher communicating through the Internet cannot share the same type of relationship a classroom teacher and student share.

I guess that I am lucky to have had situation to so many excellent classroom teachers. I will never forget the kindness and commitment that those teachers have shown me Their examples make it hard for me to accept a way of learning that does not include them . You can me ―old-fashioned‖, but as long as there is a classroom, that’s where I will be learning.

(2)I’m not sure whether a ―generation gap‖ exists, but if it does, I hope I’m still standing on the youth’s side of the gap. I may be 50 and then some, but I still like to rock. When I was younger, I listened to all of the new rock and roll music , and I really got into it . But, listening to as well as rocking to new and unique music. I have to admin that rock and roll has changed since I was a teenager, but it is still about using rhythm to express feeling.

Some of the changes have been very positive . Advances in technology made personal recording simple and given us access to music on the Internet Nowadays you can’t throw a stone without hitting someone that has made their own CD. You don’t have to just listen to music made and sold by big record companies . Many groups send their music straight to community radio stations This allows for truly new music to be heard that record companies have never even touched I play drums for one such group myself.

My daughter is an actual teenager and she is thoroughly disgusted by my listening to and playing , as she puts it, ‖those awful tunes . ‖ Classical music and playing the piano appeal to her. She pretends to show concern by making comments like ,‖You should turn that stuff down or you will hurt your ears, ‖but I know what she is really trying to say is upset ,though. And I don’t worry about my music having a(n) negative influence on her In any case ,she is probably right about my ears; I likely have lost some hearing from going to too many loud concert as I have . I can’t stay that it wasn’t worth it, though . If I had to it all over again I would do it all the same except I would protect my ears better

(3)Do not put off until tomorrow the good you can do today. There are so many possibilities that can get in the way of a good or great deed Examples of people who missed out on good opportunities are everywhere , and when it is too late, they regret missing the chance to have been of service. Saying ―tomorrow‖ just once instead of doing some good may lead to a habit of saying ―tomorrow‖ . and tomorrow may never come . One delay is followed by another , and matters get out of hand quickly ,even when attempts are made to correct them .

Therefore , we must take things on as soon as we see them . This is the secret to progress and success One good deed can awaken us to new and greater opportunities to help those around us ,and thus, make our life richer. One good turn leads to another , and thus, the good is made larger . Once something great has been achieved,we are free to set our sights on the next opportunity to help that arise Each new opportunity may be bigger and better than the last And so ,I urge you to use all your efforts to do what good you can today instead of tomorrow .

Do not spend your time with thing that are neither good nor valuable. This will save you from mistake . If you are given a task that you do not believe is helpful ,delay it. Time will wash it away for you . At the same time, the beginnings of something positive will have built up . Do it at once ! A kind word ,or a(n) service to others is never a waste of your time ,and you will reap the benefits of doing good and enjoy peace of mind.

(4)Standing in the door of Mr Murphy’s office ,I could see he was learned on something he was reading. He had both elbow on his desk, his head was resting on one hand and his other hand was cupped about his mouth. I knew that he was keeping his office hours and that student participation was encouraged ,but all the same , I was afraid to approach . Then ,as I turned to leave , my foot banged against the bottom of the door ,startling me and causing the professor to look up. His eyes had simply moved from the desk to me, but the rest of his physical body remained the same . He invited me in without gesture, just a ―Come in. What is it that you need? ‖ There was little if any warmth or tone in his voice; it wasn’t exactly encouragement Despite being intimidated, I made a conscious effort to relax and persuaded myself to smile and enter the room. ―Mr. Murphy ,‖ the pitch of my voice rose as I begin my introduction I am sorry to interrupt . my name is Peter . I am in your second-period English class.

“Peter did you say it was? ‖ he replied. His reaction disappointed me. It was apparent that I had not made much of an impression with the presentation I made in class last week. he said my name as if he would not have remembered it without my having stated it for him first –as though he were no more impressed than if he had encountered a beggar on the street He continued ,‖Do you have something you want to discuss with me , or do you just stop by to visit ?

In fact, I had stopped by to visit,but I was no longer feeling up to it and was looking for a fast exit . It seemed that the invitation he had extend in class ,‖ Drop by my office for a visit anytime . My door is always open . ‖ was just a(n) empty gesture probably required by the school. I reach inside my bag and pulled out my English language textbook. I figured I can ask him a quick question rather than try to have a meaningful conversation.【whether,it,is,a,drop,of,the,head】

(6)Let’s face it ; young people entering the workforce today are lazy. I have heard just about as much complaint about today’s workplace I can take Contrary to the view young people seem to have that things were better for prior generations, the fact is that there have never been so many greats job for people wanting to enter the workforce. There are educational opportunities that have never exist before , and the standard of living is getting better all the time. Frankly, people who lack courage and commitment shouldn’t blame anyone but themselves for not taking the opportunities that are there for them.

My first job was working as a trashman . I hauled trash for six years before I got promoted to the position of manager. I wasn’t scared of hard work. By the time the day was finished , my shoulder would hurt ,but I never complainted I even assisted others and worked extra hours when I was needed . Unfortunately , young people today seem to be lacking the same desire I had to work hard.

I can boast that I never quit a job without being offered a better one. We can’t all start out at the top. Most of us need to pay out dues and work from the bottom up. After managing the small company for which I hauled

garbage I found a job with the city public works office managing a small department. Now ,after 25 years of working in the garbage business , I manage all of the city’s trash removal. Along the way I learned that a job well done is never looked down on, and the person who does it will always triumph.

Where is the ―can do‖ attitude that makes our country great ? It doesn’t matter what you do, as long as you work hard and do your best . Young people need to commence with finding a line of employment that needs them , and quit looking for perfection in their initial position. If work were supposed to be enjoyable, it wouldn’t be called ―work‖.

After death, John went to see God. God looked at him, feeling very unhappy, “You’ve lived in this world for 60 years. Why haven’t you gotten any result at all?” God asked.

John argued, “My God, I couldn’t become a successful person just because you didn’t give me any chance. If you let that magic apple hit on my head, the man who found the law of gravity* should be me.”

God said, “OK, we might as well try again.”

God rocked his hands and the time turned back to a few hundred years ago.

God shook the apple tree for the first time, when a red apple fell and happened to drop on John’s head. John picked up the apple, wiped it and ate it up as soon as possible.

God allowed another bigger apple drop on John’s head and John ate it up once again.

God shook the apple tree for the third time, when a much bigger apple fell on John’s head. John got mad, picked up the apple, threw it out heavily. Then he shouted angrily: “The apple annoyed my sweet dream! What a bad luck!”

The apple flew out and happened to fall on Newton’s head. Newton awoke and picked up the apple. After a long time of thinking, he discovered the law of gravity at last. The time returned once again now.

God said to John, “John, do you understand it now?”

John asked, “My God, please give me another chance…I will …”

God shook his head and said, “No. The chance that the apple drops on the head of everyone is the same, but each person’s ability to catch the chance is different.” 29. When did John die?

A. At the age of 50. B. At the age of 60. C. At the age of 70. D. At the age of 80. 30. How many times was John hit by apples?

A. Once. B. Twice. C. Three times. D. Four times.

A. God’s Words B. Annoying Apples C. John’s Life D. Lost Chances

Have you heard of Chen Binqiang in Zhejiang Province? Over the past six years, he has taken care of his mother who got Alzheimer’s* disease.

Chen’s mother, 64-year-old Chen Yueguang, has been ill since 2007. The illness became very serious quickly and she has lost the ability to speak and has become incontinent*. None of Chen’s other family members, however, could take care of their sick mother. Chen’s father died in a traffic accident when he was eight, his two sisters married far away and his wife has a 92-year-old grandmother to look after.

Chen taught Chinese in Central School of Lengshui town, which is about 30 kilometers away from his home in Pan’an. So he spent five days at school and only went home on weekends. When he said he would take his mother to work, even n’t think it is a good idea for him to take care of his mother in school. She worries he would lost his job because of this.

But Chen has made the decision. Soon he was putting a safety hat onto his mother’s head and helping her sit on his electric bike’s back seat. He thinks that his mother used to take him around and now he should take her.

These days, things got a little easier for him. With the help of Pan’an government, Chen got a new job in Pan’an Middle School in October 2012. The new school is only five minutes’ ride from his home, which means he can take care of his mother more conveniently.

Chen feels happiest when his mother is looking at him. She must have forgotten who he is, and she even can’t call his name. But she surely knows that Chen is kind to her. He feels that is enough.

On February 19th, 2013, Chen got the prize for Touching China, held by China Central Television to honor those whose performances have moved the people.

33. What does Chen Binqiang do? He is ___________,

A. a farmer B. a driver C. a postman D. a teacher 34. The word “doubtful” in Paragraph 3 means ________. A. 疑惑 B. 明白 C. 预料 D. 支持 35. How did Chen take her mother to his school? A. In his car. B. In a taxi. C. By electric bike. D.On foot. 36. The passage mainly tells us _______.

A. people will live a very hard life if our parents become seriously ill

B. it should be allowed to take care of our mothers at work places

C. a man who shows loving care for his mother and his great spirit

D. Touching China honors people whose performances move us

So let’s read books together!We are looking forward to a big change tomorrow.
