Suppse yu are ut shpping and cme acrss an acquaintance wh starts telling yu a stry that seems t be dragging n and n. Yu want t seem interested, s yu ffer the ccasinal “Oh” r “I see”. T yur surprise, thugh, this persn angrily stps in their tracks and says, “Srry if I'm bring yu！”
Where did this cme frm? Clearly, yur bdy language must have betrayed yu. The idea that verbal (口头的) and nnverbal messages can cnflict was the inspiratin fr a recently published study frm Yale University's Lueylle Armentan. As part f her study f cmmunicatin in relatinships, Armentan's research als examined cmmunicatin channels in peple meeting fr the first time.
T test the rle f verbalnnverbal mismatch n emtinal cmmunicatin, Armentan and her partner created experimental cnditins t see what happens when smene asks fr help frm strangers. The research team created videtapes f a fellw Yale student expressing nervusness in his wrds, bdily gestures, r bth. The bdily gestures included running his hands thrugh his hair, grabbing his arm, and facially expressing uneasiness. The key questin was whether the ther participants, anther 82 Yale students, wuld believe the student and prvide the help he was requesting. They needed t give their respnses.
Turning t the findings, thse nnverbal cues (提示) f nervusness had a greater impact n helping behavir than the verbal cues. Surprisingly, helping behavir was the highest when verbal expressins f nervusness were lw but nnverbal cues were high.
Recgnizing that yur bdy language can utweigh yur wrds means that yu need t be mindful f what yur bdy is ding when yu're interacting with thers. Generally, when smene is speaking t yu, yu want t lk like yu're interested. Nt nly shuld yu maintain eye cntact, but yu shuld keep yur bdy still and face tward the ther persn. If yu're nt trying t lk interested, it may be mre plite t say yu have t be smewhere else.
9．What is Paragraph 1 mainly abut?

B. A situatin where bdy language is a must.
C. An example f verbalnnverbal mismatch.

C. Try t win the nervus student's trust.D. Respnd t the nervus student’s request.
11．What played the mst imprtant rle in helping the student win kindness?
A. His sincere verbal expressins.B. His bdily gestures f nervusness.
C. His psitive attitude t nervusness.D. His gd manners in frnt f thers.
12．What des the authr intend t d in the last paragraph?

With runds f pineering space flights that culd set the stage fr future space turism，it is wrth lking at what might be invlved fr the human explratin f Mars，thugh it's likely decades away.Technlgical challenges aside，as we cntinue t expand ur explratin f Mars，there is a questin：What might be the lessns f past vyages f discvery that we shuld think abut?
Human explratin has led t many extrardinary new discveries，but it has als led t the explitatin (开发) f resurces.Nt lng after early Eurpean settlers arrived in America，they declared their independence and created the cnstitutin by which mdern American sciety functins.Hwever, this did nt prevent the settlers frm referring t native peple as savages and taking away their rights t liberty，happiness，and even survival.Native Americans were quickly killed by wars and new diseases as the new settlers expanded their land.The natural envirnment，with which they had established a harmnius relatinship，was similarly destryed by the settlement.
Mars certainly has an impssible envirnment fr human life，but n Mars，humans will be the invasive (侵略的) species.Will ur landing n Mars break the ecsystem n Mars？It is pssible that Mars has ideal minerals fr future develpment. But apart frm technlgy challenges，will the mining have a disastrus envirnment impact n this red neighbur as it has already had n Earth?
The achievements f space explratin are certainly t be applauded.The cntributins f the related research n chemistry，medicine and many thers are ptentially limitless.Hwever，as we lk t explring wrlds beynd ur wn，we need t begin nw t lk at histry t cnsider hw best t engage with different life frms，cultures and envirnments.We may be capable f writing a law，but we first need t clear ur ptential invasive impact n anther planet that may be cmpletely defenseless.
13．What des the underlined wrd in Paragraph 2 refer t?
A. Mdern American sciety.B. The creatin f cnstitutin.
C. The settlement f Eurpeans.D. The explitatin f resurces.
14．What's the authr's cncern abut the explratin f Mars?
A. Humans cannt survive n Mars.
B. Humans may bring new diseases t Mars.
C. The explratin may destry Mars' ecsystem.
D.Technlgy challenges will make mining n Mars hard.
15．What's the authr's suggestin fr future space explring?
A. Making relevant laws prperly.
B. Cnducting mre scientific researches.
C. Predicting its impacts n ther planets.
