A nonverbal behaviour is to have the tongue just slightly protruding (突出) from the mouth. A study showed that people were less willing to approach others who had their tongues showing. Perhaps this is why people often tend to avoid individuals with bad nonverbal behaviours. When we make decisions about other people, we learn to recognize nonverbal cues (提示) and interpret (理解) them along with verbal information. 36. From the passage we can know that ________. A. body language in America is more popular than in other countries B. the deferent cultures share the same body languages C. the same gestures in deferent cultures may have the deferent meanings D. body language is more important than words 37. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A. Women’s body language is easier to understand. B. Women have a better understanding of body language than men. C. In American culture, men care more about their gestures than women. D. In American culture, men and women always employ the deferent gestures. 38. It may be concluded from this passage that ________. A. body language can completely replace words B. different cultures share different nonverbal behaviours C. body language sounds louder than verbal information D. body language can be helpful for us to communicate with each other B Most good interviewers will make an effort to establish and keep eye contact. Make sure that you do not find yourself looking down or away. If you wear glasses, be sure to buy the non-glare lenses. Do not stare. Rapidly nodding your head can leave the impression that you are impatient and too eager to add something to the conversation -- if only the interviewer would let you. Slower nodding, on the other hand, emphasizes interest, shows that you are validating (确认) the comments of your interviewer, and encourages him to continue. Tilting (倾斜) the head slightly, when combined with eye contact and a natural smile, shows friendliness and approachability (可接近的). Your smile is one of the most powerful positive body signals. Everybody looks better when they smile. Offer an unforced, confident smile. Avoid at all costs the technique that some applicants use: grinning idiotically (白痴般地裂口笑) for the length of the interview, no matter what. This will only communicate that you are insincere (虚假的). It’s worth remembering that the mouth provides a seemingly limitless supply of opportunities to convey weakness. This may be done by touching the mouth frequently; "faking" a cough when confused with a difficult question; and /or gnawing (咬) on one’s lips absentmindedly (茫然地). Employing any of these "insincerity signs" when you are asked about say, why you lost your last job, will confirm (确认) or instill (慢慢灌输) suspicions about your honesty. 39. The mouth may make your weakness known by ________according to the passage. A. pretending to be coughing B. having an unforced smile C. blowing a kiss D. showing your teeth 40. The main purpose of this text is to ________. A. tell you how to communicate with others effectively. B. show you how to make yourself more understandable C. remind you of respecting the interviewer. D. give you some advice on facial signals for job interviews 41. What does the underlined word “suspicion” in the last paragraph mean? A. understanding B. uncertainty C. expressionD. agreement 42. Which facial signal can cause you to lose an opportunity of being employed? A. Gnawing on one’s lips. B. A natural smile. C. A natural smile. D. Touching the mouth occasionally. C About five states in Nigeria will experience a total eclipse (日蚀) of the sun on March 29, 2006, according to a forecast by the Ministry of Science and Technology this week. An eclipse occurs in one of two ways: when the moon passes between the earth and the sun so that all or part of the sun cannot be seen for a time, or when the earth passes between the moon and the sun so that you cannot see all or part of the moon for a time. The first case is a solar eclipse or eclipse of the sun, which occurs as the earth enters the shadow of the moon. The second describes a lunar eclipse or eclipse of the moon, which happens when the moon enters the shadow of the earth. More than 60 percent of Nigerians are uneducated, and eclipses in some parts of the country in the past have caused commotions in which people have been killed and property destroyed. Some Nigerians believe an eclipse is punishment from the gods for evil doing. The March 29th eclipse would be the fifth in Nigeria’s history, and it is expected to last for 30 minutes — 9:15AM to 9:45AM, according to the official prediction. Nigeria witnessed eclipses in 1898, 1947, 1959, and 2001. The shadows in an eclipse have a central dark part called umbra, and a less dark external section called penumbra. In the umbra, all the sun’s light is cut off, and this is called total eclipse; while in the penumbra, only a part of the light from the sun is cut off from the moon, and it is called partial eclipse. Five Nigerian states — Oyo, Kwara, Niger, Zamfara, and Katsina — are expected to have total eclipse, while other parts of the country will experience partial eclipse. 43. This passage is mainly written to ________. A. predict a eclipse of the sun in Nigeria B. compare a eclipse of the sun with a eclipse of the moon C. provide information on a coming eclipse of the sun in Nigeria D. show that people in Nigeria receive little education 44. If this passage is taken from a newspaper, which section is the passage probably from? A. Entertainment.B. Economy.C. Education.D. Science. 45. The best title for this passage is ________. A. What Is an Eclipse B. How Foolish People in Nigeria Are C. Nigeria Expects Solar Eclipse D.
