D yu smetimes feel lnely? Are yu smetimes under great pressure (压力)? D yu smetimes feel sick? If yur answers t these questins are “Yes”, yu might nt need a dctr. Instead, yu might just need a pet. Pets, like dgs, cats, r even birds, can make yu feel better. In fact, many peple feel healthy when they have a pet t take care f.
Peple wh have pet s ften feel calmer (更冷静) and less lnely than peple wh dn’t have pets. Fr example, Juliet Lcke has a six-year-ld cat named Snwball. “Snwball knws when I have a bad day. When I’m sitting in a chair, she’ll run t me and I’ll pet her. She really helps me feel relaxed,” says Juliet. “Pets can help yu have a healthy mind.”
Pets can give yu a healthy bdy, t. Dr. is a veterinarian (兽医). He started CENSHARE (Center t Study Human/Animal Relatinships (关系) and Envirnments)，an rganizatin that researches hw pets influence (影响) peple. These researchers (研究者) believe that peple with pet s are healthier than thse withut pets. Fr example, pet wners ften have a lwer risk (风险) f heart disease. Many pet wners dn’t have high bld pressure (高血压), either. If yu have a dg, yu need t take it fr a walk. Taking walks is als gd fr yur heart and brain health.
While mst peple think f dgs and cats as pets, having birds and fish can als be helpful. In fact, peple wn many different kinds f pets. Researchers studied the influences f these kinds f animals n their wners’ health. The researchers fund that sme peple actually feel mre relaxed and have lwer bld pressure by watching fish r by listening t the sunds f birds. These activities make peple feel calm.
34. Why des the writer write abut Juliet Lcke?
A. T encurage peple t feed pets well.
B. T talk abut hw t chse a pet.
C. T shw pets can make peple feel healthy.
D. T ask peple t talk abut their prblems with their pets.
35. What’s the main idea f the third paragraph?
A. Pets can help peple have a healthy bdy.
B. Pets can keep peple away frm bad feelings.
C. Keeping pets can help cure (治愈) sme illnesses.
D Keeping pets can imprve the relatinships between humans.
36. Which f the fllwing is TRUE accrding t the passage?
A. CENSHARE mainly studies hw t save pets.
B. A dg can be mre helpful t peple than a cat.
C. A persn will prbably get relaxed if he keeps a pet.
D. Watching fish can make sme peple’s bld pressure rise.
37. What’s the best title fr the passage?
A. Hw t deal with bad feelings.
B. Pets can bring truble t peple.
C. Hw t get alng well with pets.
D. Pets can help peple keep healthy.
If the eyes are the windws f the sul, then the bdy is the mirrr f the feelings. If we are feeling great, we may give ut ur bdy signals (信号). If we lk at smene else’s bdy, we can ften knw hw they are feeling by their bdy signals. S I think reading bdy language signals is a helpful tl in daily cmmunicatin. It can help us cmmunicate with thers mre easily if we use it in the right way.
Here are sme numbers fr yu t knw hw imprtant it is t read and use bdy language. 7% f the infrmatin we receive is frm what peple say, and 38% f the infrmatin we receive is frm the tne (语调) and the speed f their vice; while 55% f the infrmatin we receive is frm their bdy language.
These nn-verbal (非口头的) signals will help yu a lt, but yu still need t pay attentin t what peple are saying. If yu pay t much attentin n their bdy language signals, yu and the peple may feel uncmfrtable.
It is useful t learn hw t send the right signals and avid the wrng signals, and it is useful t be able t read peple’s bdy language t. Bdy language may have sme interpretatins. Many signals have different meanings. It depends n the persn, the situatin and the culture. Fr example, in the US, peple wave gdbye with the palm (手掌) facing the persn they’re waving t. But in ther cultures, peple may wave gdbye with the palm up t the sky, and the fingers pening and clsing. T peple in the US, this might lk like a gesture asking smene t cme clser. S yu have t be sure f the meaning when yu are trying t read a bdy language signal…
38. What des the writer think f bdy language?
A. It is simple t learn.
B. It is hard t understand.
C. It is difficult t be used.
D. It is helpful in cmmunicatin.
39. The underlined wrd “interpretatins” in Paragraph 4 means ________.
A. namesB. excusesC. meaningsD. thughts
40. What will the writer mst prbably talk abut in the next paragraph?

If the eyes are the windws f the sul, then the bdy is the mirrr f the feelings. If we are feeling great, we may give ut ur bdy signals (信号).

It can help us cmmunicate with thers mre easily if we use it in the right way.
Here are sme numbers fr yu t knw hw imprtant it is t read and use bdy language. 7% f the infrmatin we receive is frm what peple say, and 38% f the infrmatin we receive is frm the tne (语调) and the speed f their vice; while 55% f the infrmatin we receive is frm their bdy language.
These nn-verbal (非口头的) signals will help yu a lt, but yu still need t pay attentin t what peple are saying. If yu pay t much attentin n their bdy language signals, yu and the peple may feel uncmfrtable.
It is useful t learn hw t send the right signals and avid the wrng signals, and it is useful t be able t read peple’s bdy language t. Bdy language may have sme interpretatins. Many signals have different meanings. It depends n the persn, the situatin and the culture. Fr example, in the US, peple wave gdbye with the palm (手掌) facing the persn they’re waving t.
