When I read a post about taking someone to the movies, I was reminded of something that happened a couple of years ago.

I used to drink Cokes and they had a competition where there was a code inside the bottle cap. You went to a website and entered the code and maybe you won something. I won some free Cokes. But then I won the Grand Prize! I was surprised and pleased.

The Grand Prize was free movies for a year. They pointed out that one movie a week was what free movies for a year meant. All of the tickets had a deadline later than a year from the day I received them. So I must use them in the following year. I used quite a few taking friends to movies we all wanted to see.

But the best thing I did with them was that I donated 22 tickets (all I had left by that time) to the local Women’s Transition House, a place where women and their children could go when avoiding domestic violence (家庭暴力) or just a bad situation in general and get help to make a new start.

My workplace team had decided they would be a charity , so we collected donations for that particular New Year’s Day. I knew that the Women’s Transition House provided some childcare for the women so they could go for job interviews and things like that.

I put those tickets in an envelope and wrote a note on the outside, asking the Women’s Transition House staff to give movie tickets to women there over the holidays to have something fun to do, with or without their children. It made me really happy to do this.

14. How did the author get the tickets?

A. By visiting a website by chance.

B. By attending a knowledge competition.

C. By winning the prize for drinking Cokes.

D By using some Cokes to get them.

15. How many tickets did the author and his friends use?

A. About 22. B. About 30.

C. About 52. D. About 365.

16. Which of the following best describes the author?

A. Lucky and caring. B. Creative and careful.

C. Responsible and cheerful. D. Thankful and generous.

17. What can we learn about the Women’s Transition House from the text?

A. It can provide jobs for women in need.

B. It mainly offers help to women in trouble.

C. It only helps women to deal with daily pressure.

D. It often offers some free movie tickets to some women.

C

Some experts believe that cars will unavoidably be eliminated. They see a day in the not-too-distant future when all cars will be abandoned and allowed to rust. Other authorities, however, think the car is here to stay. They hold that the car will remain a leading means of urban travel in the predictable future.

The car will undoubtedly change significantly over the next 30 years. It should become smaller, safer, and more economical, and should not be powered by the gasoline engine. The car of the future should be far more pollution-free than present types.

Regardless of its power source, the auto in the future will still be the main problem in urban traffic jams. One proposed solution to this problem is the automated highway system. When the auto enters the highway system, a retractable (伸缩自如的) arm will drop from the auto and make contact with a rail, which is similar to those powering subway trains electrically.

Once attached to the rail the car will become electrically powered by the system, and control of the vehicle will pass to a central computer. The computer will then monitor all of the car’s movements.

The driver will use a telephone to enter instructions about his destination into the system. The computer will work out the best route, and reserve space for the car all the way to the correct exit on the highway. The driver will then be free to relax and wait for the buzzer that will warn him of his coming exit. It is predicated that an automated highway will be able to deal with 10, 000 vehicles per hour, compared with the 1, 500 to 2, 000 vehicles that can be carried by a present-day highway.

18. What does the underlined word “eliminated” in paragraph 1 mean?

A. Tested out. B. Passed down.

C. Kept track of. D. Got rid of.

19. What is the author’s main concern about future autos?

A. The air pollution brought about by them. B. Their seating space.

C. The traffic jams caused by them. D. Their operating system.

20. What provides autos with electric power in an automated highway system?

A. A rail. B. An engine.

C. A retractable arm. D. A computer center.

21. What does the driver need to do in an automated highway system?

A. Keep to the right route.

B. Just wait to arrive at his destination.

C. Inform the system of his destination by phone.

D. Keep in constant touch with the computer center.

Mirroring body language is a way to bond and to build understanding. It is a powerful tool that we use without even knowing it.

The most obvious forms of mirroring are yawning and smiling. When you see someone yawn, you are likely to yawn immediately. Smiling is also pretty contagious—seeing a smiling person makes you want to smile too.

Mirroring body language is a nonverbal way to say “I am like you or I feel the same”. Research shows that people who experience the same feelings are likely to trust, understand and accept each other. Women have the natural ability to pick up and understand body signals. Therefore, it is not surprising that a woman is more likely to mirror another woman than a man is to mirror another man.

That’s why women are regarded as better talkers, even if they might not really have more close friends.

Mirroring body language is an excellent way to build trust and understanding quickly. If you want to set up a connection with others, mirror their gestures, sitting position, tone of voice and talking pace. This will make them feel that there is something about you that they like.

While mirroring body language gains you acceptance, you still need to take into consideration your relationship with the person you are mirroring. If you are in a lower social position and are mirroring the body language of your boss, he will view you as rude. However, if you want to defeat those who are trying to prove superior to you, mirroring their body language will help defeat them and change their position.

22. What does the underlined word “contagious” in paragraph 2 mean?

A. Affecting each other. B. Showing one’s feelings.

C. Attractive to the others. D. Gentle to people around.

23. What can we know about women from the research?

A. They don’t like mirroring others.

B. They tend to have more close friends.

C. They are naturally gifted in building trust.

D. They are good at interpreting body language.

24. What is the author’s attitude to the behavior of mirroring the boss?

A. Indifferent. B. Curious. C. Doubtful. D. Disapproving.

25. What is the best title for the text?

A. The Common Forms of Mirroring

B. The Excellent Method of Mirroring

C. Mirroring Body Language:A Useful Tool

D. Nonverbal Communication:A Special Bond

Many students say they will talk to their friend or classmates because they’re of the same age and can understand each other. Some will turn out to their parents or teachers for help.
