26、How to improve communication while wearing a mask

Eye contact

Facial expressions are the primary way people exhibit emotion. Happiness, sadness, disgust, fear and surprise can be communicated through facial expressions alone. 【1】. Fortunately, you can regain some control over communication by working with what you have left—the eyes. If you want to increase understanding with a masked individual, you should look them in the eyes, which may be easier said than done.

Use your body

You might be surprised how much information is conveyed by the body itself. For instance, when someone is happy, they stand up straighter and lift their head. 【2】.

Learning how people use their bodies to convey emotion may help reduce the uncertainty you feel when communicating with someone in a mask. 【3】. When engaged in a conversation, you can appear more attentive by turning your body toward the individual, leaning in or nodding.

【4】

Along with the actual words, you also use volume, tone and pauses to convey your message. For instance, a lower-pitched whisper may mean sadness or insecurity, whereas a higher-pitched shout could show anger or intensity. If you feel the need to speak louder, just be aware that raising your voice can alter the message you are trying to send. Changing the tone of your voice can change the whole conversation, so instead of increasing volume, try improving enunciation (清晰的发音).

By all means, continue the proper measures to keep yourself safe, but don’t ignore your relationships as a consequence. 【5】.

A．Keep your voice down

B．The impact of your voice

C．Just like any conversation, mistakes will be made

D．But when part of the face is masked, it becomes more difficult to recognize them

E．Social distance doesn’t have to mean socially distant

F．When they are sad, they drop their head

G．Become aware of your own body language, too

27、I used to overeat. I’ve never been significantly overweight, so people are surprised to hear this. When you think of overeating, you think of someone who is above their natural weight range(范围), right? Well, I used to purposefully undereat as well. I was able to keep my weight within some control, but only through a lot of physical and mental pain.

Here’s a glimpse(一瞥)into my life as a first-year university student:

Friday: Go to a party and eat a lot of chips. Feel guilt and regret. Vow (发誓) to wake up and run an extra mile.

Saturday: Run 6 miles, come home and only eat a tiny breakfast. Eat like a bird for the rest of the day. Feel proud of myself.

Sunday: Study and snack on chocolate chips all day. Feel sick.

Monday: Head to class with no snack and no money so that I can’t buy any food. Feel hungry but full of willpower. Go home and overeat at dinner. Feel out of control.

My feelings were on a constant pendulum shift. I was proud and in control one moment, and then full of regret and out of control the next. It was exhausting.

As I studied nutrition and human anatomy(人体解剖学) in university，I started to learn just how amazing the human body is! The human body is an amazing, self-regulatory system. It knows precisely how much food it needs. When I learned this, my whole world changed. I stopped trying to manage my eating with willpower. Instead of trying to power through my hunger, I would provide my body with wholesome foods, so I would feel hungry less often.

This process definitely took some work and reflection, but after a while it became second nature. Eating has become a joyful experience, instead of a source of stress and worry in my life. All my eating is now guilt-free! I shamelessly eat unhealthy snacks without regret. Of course, the majority of my food intake does come from whole, healthy foods that are close to nature.

28、Way back in 1953, high school mathematics looked like a big problem for me and several of my classmates. When we reached the 9th grade, we got Mr.Iyer, the strict math teacher who was also our class teacher. He always stuck to his discipline. We had to arrive on time, pay attention to his lectures, and never neglect (忽视) any of his homework.

As he was our class teacher, we got to know him better. Noticing some of us were fidgety one day as the midterm exams approached, he stopped solving a mathematical problem to ask us why. “There’s too much to do,” we sighed. “We’re afraid we’ll never manage to finish our review before the exams.”

“Nothing is impossible,” Mr.Iyer told us. “This classroom is on the second floor. Do you have trouble reaching here?”

We reacted with blank (茫然的) eyes.

“No, you don’t!” he said, answering his own question. “You have a staircase to help you climb up to this level. No one expects you to make it in two giant leaps. You simply take one step at a time. Any task can be solved if you focus on the next action to be taken. The rest will take care of itself, if you keep at it. One step at a time. That’s the secret.”

Then he wrote down an old motto on the blackboard: “The longest journey starts with a single step.” Having heard his staircase analogy (比拟), we saw him in a new light.

Most of my classmates scored distinctions (优等评分) in math. And I went on to become an English teacher. To this day, whenever I pass on Mr. Iyer’s invaluable advice to my own students, they brighten up at the sight of a lighter academic burden.

【1】What can we learn from the first paragraph?

A．Math was difficult for most of the author’s classmates.

B．The students thought Mr.Iyer was not a good teacher.

C．Mr.Iyer was serious about his job and strict with the students.

D．Mr.Iyer would punish the students neglecting his discipline.

【2】What does the underlined word “fidgety” in Paragraph 2probably mean?

A．Hard-working.

B．Nervous.

C．Excited.

D．Calm.

【3】Why did the students react with blank eyes?

A．They thought reaching the second floor had no connection with the worry.

B．They were too tired to understand any words Mr.Iyer said in class.

C．They were surprised that Mr.Iyer would talk about such an unbelievable problem.

D．They had no interest in any subjects that were no good for their exams.

【4】The staircase analogy tells us________.

A．one can reach his goals very easily

B．the goals can be reached step by step

C．there is only one step between success and failure

D．tasks can be achieved with the help of the teacher

29、Being able to count at least ten people as friends makes us happy，but those with five or fewer are likely to be miserable，researchers say.

Their study of hundreds of men and women also found that people who feel satisfied with their lives always have lots of close friends and regularly make new ones.

While it is not clear whether our friends make us happy or we make friends because we are happy，the researchers say it is clear that we should maintain our friendships. Psychologist Richard Tunney said，“Whatever the reason is，actively working on friendships in the same way as to maintain a marriage is a prerequisite(必备条件) to happiness.”

Dr.Tunney，of Nottingham University，quizzed more than 1,700 people about their satisfaction with their lives and the state of their friendships.Those with five friends or fewer had just a 40 percent chance of being happy. .

In other words they were more likely to be unhappy than happy.Ten was the first number at which people were more likely to be happy than unhappy.The happiest people were those with dozens of friends，according to the study，which was carried out for the National Lottery(彩票)．

For women，this meant having 33 friends；for men，the number was 49. Dr.Tunney said，“People who were extremely satisfied with their lives had twice the number of friends of people who were extremely dissatisfied.” Women tended to have fewer friends than men but formed tighter relationships.

Interestingly，the study found that childhood friends are no more likely to make us happy than people we become close to later in life.Lottery winners，however，have a different opinion on life.They are always happier than others despite spending their time with a small circle of old friends.This could be because they trust people they’ve known for a long time.

【1】What’s the best title for this passage?

A．The Secret to Happiness Is to Make New Friends

B．Having at Least 10 Good Friends Makes People Happy

C．Why Most People Like to Make Friends Regularly

D．Men’s and Women’s Friends Are Different

【2】Which of the following opinions may Richard Tunney NOT agree with?

A．People with few friends are sure to be unhappy.

B．Our friends can make us happy.

C．Happiness may come from a good marriage life.

D．We may become happier if we have more friends.

【3】According to the passage，lottery winners ________.

A．enjoy making new friends

B．make new friends easily

C．like staying with old friends

D．have no time to make friends

【4】We can conclude from the passage that ________.

A．it’s enough for one person to have ten friends

B．unhappy people must have few friends

C．childhood friends make people happier than adulthood ones

D．friendships play a major role in people’s life

During my second month of nursing school, our professor gave us a quiz with a question: “What is the first name of the woman, who cleans the school?” Surely this was some kind of joke.
