My interest in bdy language began with a prfessr f mine at university. He mentined “Pincchi” t me ne cld mrning after saying that I always rubbed my nse when giving excuses fr being late t his curses. Actually, when smene tells a lie, the persn’s bld rushes t the nse and the extra bld makes it itchy (发痒的). This little example f nn-verbal cmmunicatin inspired me t becme a bdy language expert. Nw, I earn my living by training peple in nn-verbal cmmunicatin. Knwing when smene is lying and knwing hw t persuade peple are tw f the mst imprtant skills yu’ll ever learn.
I have spent a lt f time studying the ways the human bdy gives and they prvide mre reliable infrmatin than the wrds we speak. The wrds say ne thing but the bdy may say smething cmpletely different. We knw that crssed arms can be seen as either defensive r aggressive (攻击性的), but what abut facial expressins, pstures and gestures? All f these say a lt and can nly be understd if yu knw hw t make sense f the signs.
Business cmpanies always need my services and I try t imprve their cnfidence by teaching them abut bdy language. I give advice abut handshakes, which shuld always be firm and steady, and I teach the imprtance f persnal space. They may seem like small matters, but these cdes f behaviur can be the key t making r breaking a business deal.
My wrking life gives me a great deal f satisfactin. I feel that I’m prviding a public service, but it is a service that has had its dwnside. Whenever I meet smene new and I tell them what I d fr a living, they immediately put their guard up and they’re n lnger relaxed. They quite literally freeze in the attempt t hide all the signals that they think I’m reading. It makes life difficult at times, but I cnsider it a small price t pay fr a jb I enjy s much.

B. They think he is t prud.
C. They cnsider him unreliable.
D. They believe he is studying them.

Satellites are an imprtant part f ur rdinary lives. Fr example, the infrmatin fr weather frecasts is sent by satellite. Sme satellites have cameras which take phtgraphs f Earth t shw hw cluds are mving. Satellites are als used t cnnect ur phne calls.
Cmputer cnnectins f the Wrld Wide Web and the Internet als use satellites. Many f ur TV prgrams cme t us by satellite. Airplane pilts smetimes als use a satellite t help them find their exact lcatin.
We use satellites t send televisin pictures frm ne part f the wrld t anther. They are usually 35,880 kilmeters abve the equatr(赤道). Smetimes we can see a satellite in the sky and it seems t stay in the same place. This is because it is mving arund the wrld at 11,000 kilmeters an hur — exactly the same speed that the Earth rtates(转动). A satellite must mve arund the Earth with its antennae (天线) facing the Earth. Smetimes, it mves away frm its rbit (轨道), s there are sme rckets n it which are used t put the satellite back in the right psitin. This usually happens abut every five r six days.
Space is nt empty! Every week, mre and mre satellites are sent int space t rbit Earth. A satellite usually wrks fr abut 10-12 years. Satellites which are brken are smetimes repaired by astrnauts r smetimes brught back t Earth t be repaired. Often, very ld r brken satellites are left in space t rbit Earth fr a very lng time. This is very serius because sme satellites use nuclear pwer and they can crash int each ther.
8. Which f the fllwing is NOT dne by satellite accrding t the passage?
A. Sending infrmatin fr weather frecasts.
B. Taking phtgraphs f the Earth.
C. Sending TV pictures t the Earth.
D. Prviding fd fr airplane pilts.
9. What’s the speed that the Earth rtates at?
A. 35,880 kilmeters per hur.
B. 335,880 kilmeters per hur.
C. 11,000 kilmeters per hur.
D. 110,000 kilmeters per hur.
10. What des the underlined wrd “This” in the third paragraph refer t?
A. A satellite mves arund the Earth frever.
B. A rcket always keeps a satellite’s cmpany.
C. A satellite seems t stay in the same place in the sky.
D. The satellite puts the rckets in the right psitin.

Due t climate change, Arctic(北极) ice is breaking up earlier in the spring, and its area is decreasing. This is creating prblems fr plar bears that make their hmes ff nrthern Alaska and in Hudsn Bay.
Plar bears ff Alaska nrmally hunt and raise their yung n ice sheets that flat n the cean. But as the ice has melted, the plar bears have been frced t spend mre time n land. There, they have begun t g t beaches frequently, feeding n the remains f whales caught by native hunters. Fr plar bears, this fd is less nutritius than seals that they nrmally catch n ice sheets. The decreasing ice has als frced mre plar bears int the cean. In the past, they nly had t swim shrt distances between ice sheets. But as the ice is smaller, plar bears have been frced t swim lnger and lnger distances in the pen cean. This puts a severe danger during rugh weather, and an increasing number f drwned plar bears have been bserved.
In Hudsn Bay, the ice breaks up three weeks earlier in the spring nw than it did 20 years ag. Plar bears n Hudsn Bay fast(禁食) during the summer, waiting fr ice t frm in the fall t hunt. Every year, the summer gets lnger, and the bears get skinnier. Over the past 25 years, the average weight f the female bears has drpped 68 kg. This lss affects their ability t reprduce, and already the number f births has drpped by 15 percent. Unless the bears can learn t survive climate change, these giants f the ice may ne day disappear.
12. What is happening t the Arctic ice these years?
A. It’s freezing. B. It’s hardening.
C. It’s melting. D. It’s expanding.
13. Accrding t the secnd paragraph, which statement abut plar bears is TRUE?

D. Their families are grwing.
14. What des the writer imply abut female plar bears in Hudsn Bay?
A. They are having fewer yung nw.
B. They suffer frm varius sicknesses.
C. They dn’t need strnger prtectin.
D. They can’t find enugh gd males.
15. In which publicatin wuld yu mst likely find this passage?

It gives yu a chance t think.
When we walk, we think. And because walking is a lw-difficulty effrt, we can direct ur executive functining t mre internal matters. We wrk thrugh prblems, cme up with ideas, replay cnversatins, scheme and discver slutins. 20
