When people talk to each other, write letters or make phone calls, words of the spoken form or the written form can send any messages they want to pass on.

But besides words,do you know any other ways you can use to communicate with people? Rich expressions on your face can be one of them. A smile on your face shows that you are happy. Tears in your eyes tell others that you are sad or excited. Body languages can do the same job. When you put your hand up in class,the teacher knows that you want to say something or you may have some questions to ask. You shake your head from side to side and people know you are saying“no” or disagree to others’ requirements. When you nod,people will understand that you are saying“yes” or agree to others’ opinions or suggestions.

Other forms can also carry different messages. For example,a sign at the bus stop gives passengers instructions on which bus to take. Sound from the school bell tells the students and the teachers when to begin or end a class. Music and films also convey the feelings and ideas of the musicians and the directors. So next time when you see a piece of art or listen to some music,take it as communication with its creator and try to get the meaning behind it.

44.When people want to use words to communicate with others,they      

A.make friends    B.cry aloud   C.keep quiet    D. write letters

45.You just need to_____if you agree to others' suggestions.

A.close your eyes    B.put up your hand   C.nod   D.shake your head

46.What does the underlined word"convey"mean in Chinese?

A.传递B.掩饰C.克制D.爆发

47.What's the best title（标题）for the passage?

A.Spoken and Written Languages   B. Ways of Communication

C.Different Messages            D.Different Feelings

(C)

Blind Box Pets Craze（盲盒宠物潮）

Blind box toys have become very popular recently in China. For many young people,they don't know what is inside the box until they open it. This adds more surprise and fun to their buying experience. More and more companies start selling their goods（商品）in blind boxes.

On May 3，160 little dogs and cats were found inside a van（厢式货车）at a delivery station（快递站点）in Chengdu.Like other goods，they were packed in boxes to be sent to different places through the post.

According to the Chengdu Aizhijia Animal Rescue Center,when volunteers found those animals,four of them were dead and many were sick. All of them were under three months old.

In fact,the sale of blind box pets is nothing new.On Taobao and Pinduoduo,some live animals are being sold for prices as low as 9.9 yuan.Lots of animals on sale die on their way to their buyers. As a rule set by those pet shops,buyers cannot return whatever they get because that is how blind boxes work. So if the buyer gets a dead cat in the post,that's bad luck!

The delivery company，ZTO（中通快递），has said sorry on Weibo for collecting live animals from sellers for delivery. Yet public anger is not cooling down. People are calling for an end to the crazy sale of blind box pets. State media（媒体）also asks buyers and sellers of such blind boxes to have“more kindness and more respect for life”.
