At first, the puzzled dctrs thught she had a flu, but when her cnditin didn't imprve, the Xus returned t clinic, where, a dctr by chance had experience with Kawasaki disease. Thugh rare, it's the leading cause f acquired (后天的) heart disease in babies and yung children, and its cause remains smewhat mysterius. Luckily, t re dctr knew hw t treat it and eventually Kate shk ff the illness withut suffering damage t her heart.
Xu was amazed that the grwn-ups culdn't answer her questins abut why it was s hard t identify. “In my mind, it was a mystery,” she says, “It was a puzzle I wanted t slve.”
A decade later. wanting t enter a high schl science fair, she had an idea: “What if we had a dctr in ur pcket?” Using AI, Xu designed a medical app t recgnize Kawasaki disease based n five physical symptms (症状).

A lt f peple ask this questin: “Why is bdy language s imprtant?” Studies have shwn that in the prcess f cmmunicatin, nnverbal expressin has 65% t 93% mre influence than actual text. This means that “hw t say” is mre imprtant than “what t say” Of curse, this des nt mean that yu dn't need t d preparatin fr yur interviews, nr des it mean that yu can take any shrtcuts. On the cntrary, this means that yu have mre things t pay attentin t and prepare fr.
In the real wrkplace, bdy language is much mre imprtant than yu think. Withut prper bdy language, yu may find yurself trapped in a circle where yu can't integrate with the external envirnment, nt t mentin the difficulties in the absence f bdy language in the wrkplace.
“Peple can ften make inferences frm actins, and the results f these inferences directly affect lives: fr example, wh will be emplyed and wh will be prmted.” Academician Amy Cuddy said in a TV talk shw. She als said that “Our bdy language will als ahect ur perceptin f urselves. When yu try t make mre authritative actins, yur brain will inadvertently receive signals and actually create an idea that yu are mre authritative, s that yu have mre cnfidence in yurself.”
Therefre, befre interviews r imprtant meetings, try nt t lean n any bject r have a hunched back. Instead, yu shuld try t keep yur bdy relaxed. Yu can even stand with a relatively authritative psture—— f curse, yu may need t d these things in the bathrm r places where n ne culd see yu.
Bdy language plays a crucial rle in yur jb interviews, careers, and everyday life. Paying attentin t bdy language culd make strng impacts n yur behavir, which culd help yu achieve better results. S, every time yu are nervus r feel that yu can't d it, stretch yur bdy, smile, and tell yurself “Fake it till yu becme it!”
28. What can be interred frm Paragraph 1?
A. Yur success depends n yur bdy language.B. Yur bdy language is brn with the ability.
C. Yur bdy language is a shrtcut t yur success.D. Yur bdy language expses yur hiding meanings.
29. What des Amy Cuddy mstly agree with? t
A. A persn with gd bdy language can be directly emplyed.
B. A persn's actins can have an influence n his results.
C. A persn's bdy language can imprve his cnfidence.
D. A persn's brain can decide the types f bdy language.
30. What des the authr recmmend befre interviews?
A. Practising standing straightly.B. Hiding things in the bathrms.
C. Expsing yur weakness.D. Leaning n a desk.
31. What can replace the underlined wrd “crucial” in the last paragraph?

36 In a bus yu may lk at a stranger but nt far t lng. And if he sensed that yu are staring at him, he may feel uncmfrtable.
The same is true in ur daily life. If yu are stared at fr mre than necessary, yu will lk at yurself up and dwn t see if there is anything wrng with yu. 37 Eyes d speak, right?
Lking t lng at smene may seem t be rude and aggressive (挑衅的). 38 If a man stares at a wman fr mre than 10 secnds and refuses t lk away frm her. his intentins are bvius. He wishes t attract her attentin, and let her knw that he is admiring her.
Hwever, when tw persns are engaged in a cnversatin, the speaker will nly lk int the listener's eyes frm time t time t make sure that the listener pays attentin t what the frmer is speaking. 39 If a speaker lks at yu cntinuusly when speaking as if trying t cntrl yu, yu will feel awkward. A pr liar usually expses himself by lking t lng at the victim. He wrngly believes that lking straight in the eye is a sign f hnest cmmunicatin. 40
Actually, eye cntact shuld be made based n specific relatinship and situatin.
