21、   There is nothing worse than being cheated. Now body language expert Judi James tells you the key signs to find out whether someone is telling a lie. Here are some ways to help you.

The long stop: Telling a lie is quite difficult for the body and brain to deal with. First your brain produces the truth. Then, you have to hide the truth and invent a lie. After that, you tell the lie. This often leads to a longer stop before answering.

The eye dart: Humans have more eye expressions than any other animal and our eyes can look around if we're trying to hide something. When we look up to our left, we're often recalling memory. But when our eyes roll up to our right, we are thinking new ideas. Also, the guilt(内疚)of a lie often makes people use an eye contact cut-off gesture, such as looking down or away.

The lost breath: Bending the truth causes a sudden stress response in most people. The mouth dries, the body sweats more, the pulse rate (心率) becomes quick and the rhythm of the breathing changes to shorter, shallower breaths that can often be both seen and heard.

The poker face: Some people prefer to have the poker face, because they think less is more and almost show less movement and eye contact when they are telling lies.

The face hide: When someone tells a lie they often want to hide their face from their audience. This can lead to a cut-off gesture like nose-touch or mouth-cover.

Self-comfort touches: People often move from side to side, touch their hair or play with wedding rings when they have stress. Most people use self-comfort gestures but this will increase greatly when someone is lying.

【1】Why do people have a long stop before telling a lie?

A. Because they have stress.

B. Because they are recalling memory.

C. Because they don't want to say anything.

D. Because they are thinking of a lie instead of the truth.

【2】What may people do if they have the feeling of guilt?

A. Their eyes look around. B. They look down or away.

C. They look up to their left. D. Their eyes roll up to their right.

【3】What may people do when they feel stressful suddenly?

A. They have the poker face. B. They have less movement.

C. Their hearts beat more quickly. D. They have more eye expressions.

【4】How many key signs of telling lies are written in the passage?

A. 4. B. 5. C. 6. D. 7.

【5】The writer wants to tell us…

A. the problem of telling lies. B. the reason why people tell lies.

C. the importance of body language. D. the ways to discover people telling lies.

23、At the age of 16, Julia left school and worked at a restaurant. For many years, she was only interested in making money. Then one day she had a serious car accident which changed her life. "I had a terrible car accident in August 1996. It took me 10 months to recover (康复) from the accident. During that time, I realized I wanted to find a more meaningful reason for being here in this world," said Julia.

As soon as she recovered, Julia gave up working at the restaurant and traveled to California. One day she found a big company wanted to cut down part of a forest. In the forest there were lots of redwood trees. One of the trees was more than 1 ,000 years old.

Then Julia learned a group called Our Earth was trying to save the redwood forest from the company. They decided to find someone to live in a redwood tree and hoped this would stop the company from cutting the trees down. Julia volunteered.

Julia lived in the tree for over two years without ever going down. It was cold and wet in a redwood tree. There were even very serious winter storms while Julia was in the tree.

Finally the company decided to protect the trees Julia lived in. They agreed never to cut down the big redwood tree or the trees around it. When Julia put her feet on the earth, she began to cry. But she continued to do other things to protect the environment.

根据短文内容，判断正（T）误（F）。

【1】Making money was the only thing Julia took an interest in when she worked at a restaurant.

【2】After Julia recovered, she went to protect the environment at once.

【3】Julia's living in the redwood tree stopped the company from cutting the trees down.

【4】The life in the tree for Julia was comfortable and enjoyable.

【5】Julia understood there were more meaningful things to do from her experiences.

24、"Earworms", some people call them. Songs that get stuck in your head go round and round, sometimes for days, sometimes for months. For no clear reason you cannot help yourself from humming or singing a tune by Lady Gaga.

To a psychologist, the most interesting thing about earworms is that they show a part of our mind that is clearly outside of our control. Earworms arrive without permission and refuse to leave when we tell them to. They are parasites (寄生虫) living in a part of our minds.

If you have got an earworm you can suffer an attack of it simply by someone mentioning the tune, without having to hear it. This proves that earworms are a part of long-term memory. Humans have an "inner ear", for remembering phone numbers, for instance. When it gets infected with earworms, rather than review our plans for the day, or lists of things to remember, the inner ear gets stuck on a few short bars of music or a couple of phrases from a song. A part of us that we normally do not have to think about, that should just do what we ask, has been turned against us, upsetting us with a request that we never asked for. The mind is an inner world which we do not have complete knowledge of, or have control over.

Fortunately psychology can provide some advice on how to deal with an uncontrollable mind. Consider the famous "don’t think of a white bear" problem, which tells you to try not to think about white bears, or to do something else, to avoid both thinking of the white bear and not thinking of the white bear. For earworms, the solution may be the same. Our inner ear has become infected with an earworm. This is a part not under our control, so just sending in instructions to "shut up" is unlikely to be of much help (and has been shown to make it worse). Much better is to employ the inner ear in another task. If your mind is poisoned by Brittany Spears’ Toxic, for instance, then try singing Kylie Minogue’s Can’t Get You out Of My Head. Let me know if it works!

【1】According to the passage, earworms are ______.

A.songs that keep going round in our mind

B.worms that live in a part of our brain

C.tunes by pop singers like Lady Gaga

D.parasites clearly under our control

【2】Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A.Singing songs may get earworms out of your head.

B.Earworms are used for keeping long-term memory.

C.Humans do not have complete control over their mind.

D.You won’t suffer from earworms unless you hear the song.

【3】What does “it” in the last paragraph refer to?

A.The instruction to shut up your mind.

B.“Don’t think of the white bear” problem.

C.Kylie Minogue’s Can’t Get You out Of My Head.

D.Using the earworm-infected inner ear in another task.

【4】What is the passage mainly about?

A.The causes and influences of earworms.

B.What earworms are and how to deal with them.

C.How to clear earworms out of your head.

D.The relation between earworms and popular songs.

25、   I love traveling, nature and animals. I have been to many t【1】 (主题) museums, such as the National Science Museum, the International Museum of Toilets and the Hangzhou National Tea Museum in Zhejiang Province. In the National Science Museum, I learned about many i【2】 (发明) and knew who invented them. It's unbelievable that technology has made such rapid progress. It e【3】 (鼓励) me to study harder. In the Hangzhou National Tea Museum, I watched an u【4】 (不同寻常的) tea art performance and learned how to make a perfect cup of tea with beautiful tea sets. I have learned many s【5】 (社会的) customs from the performance. 

This spring, I visited an amusement park with a couple of friends in Singapore. We saw t【6】 (千) of foreigners, such as Germans, Indians and Japanese. We took some photos with my c【7】 (照相机). 

Singapore itself is a p【8】 (安宁的) and safe place to have fun. It's m【9】 (主要地) near the equator. This is a good location for traveling. You can go there whenever you like. The temperature there is almost the same all year round. On the one hand, don't fear whether you can speak English or not. You can s【10】 (只) speak Chinese there. On the other hand, it's also a good place to practice your English.
