课文背景阅读
Experts suggest that non-verbal body language has five main components.
They are:
·Tone and Pitch of Voice
·Eye contact
·Posture
·Gestures
·Use of space
These qualities can be subtle,culture specific and positive or negative depending on the circumstance.
Here are some suggestions for sending consistent and positive non-verbal messages:
1.In Western cultures—make eye contact with both men and women or you may be perceived as dishonest.
2.“Talk” is made more powerful by animation so try to use appropriate gestures when you are speaking.Repetitive gestures are sometimes seen as comical or deliberate so practice matching your gestures with speech so they seem natural.
3.Posture is a very good indicator of confidence.It is best to stand rather than sit.Keep weigh on both legs rather than rock back and forth or lean to one side.Keep your chin upwards and face forward.Be careful not to look rigid and remember to breathe.
4.Be respectful to people's personal space.Crowding or pushing others is considered aggressive and arrogant.It's like interrupting with your body.
5.Try to maintain your composure while speaking.Regardless of the content,speaking too quickly or too slowly in a high,uncontrolled pitch tells people you are nervous.

三、阅读理解
A
For an increasing number of students in American universities,Old is suddenly in.The reason is clear:the aging of America means jobs.Besides the aging of the baby-boom(生育高峰)population,a longer life means that the nation's elderly population is certain to grow greatly over the next 50 years.By 2050,25 percent of all Americans will be older than 65,up from 14 percent in 1995.The change causes some questions for government and society,of course.But it also creates jobs in medicine and health fields,and in law and business as well."Besides the doctors,we're going to need more sociologists,biologists,city planners and lawyers,"says Professor Edward Schneider of the University of Southern California's(USC)School of Gerontology(老人学)Lawyers can major in“elder law”,which covers everything including nursing-home abuse(虐待)and age discrimination(歧视).Businessmen see huge opportunities in the elder market because the baby boomers,74 million strong,are likely to be the wealthiest group of retires(退休者)in human history.“Any student who combines an expert knowledge in gerontology with,say,an MBA or law degree will have a license to print money,”one professor says.
Margarite Santos is a 21-year-old senior at USC.She began college as a biology major but found she was “really bored with biology”.So she took a class in gerontology and discovered that she liked it.She says,“I did volunteer(志愿的)work in retirement homes and it was very satisfying.”
1.“……Old is suddenly in”(Line1,Para.1)most probably means“__________”.
A.america has suddenly become a nation of old people
B.gerontology has suddenly become popular
C.more elderly professors are found in American colleges
D.older students begin to be admitted into American colleges
2.With the aging of America,lawyers can gain interest__________.
A.from the passing of the“elder law”
B.from offering special services to the elderly
C.by increasing their professional knowledge
D.by winning the trust of the elderly to gain their own interests
3.Who can make big money in the new century according to the passage?
A.Retirees who are interested in business.
B.The volunteer workers in retirement homes.
C.College graduates with an MBA or law degree.
D.Experts also with a good knowledge of gerontology.
4.It can be seen from the passage that the explosion of America's eldery population__________.
A.will provide good jobs in many areas
B.will bring a very big problem on society
C.may lead to nursing home abuse and age discrimination
D.will create new fields of study in universities
B
Americans are proud of their variety and individuality(个性),yet they love and respect few things more than a uniform,whether it is the uniform of a lift operator or the uniform of a five-star general.Why are uniforms so popular in the United States?
Among the arguments for uniforms,one of the first is that in the eyes of most people they look more professional than civilian(百姓的)clothes.People have become conditioned to expect higher quality from a man who wears a uniform.The television repairman who wears a uniform is likely to inspire more trust than one who appears in civilian clothes.Faith in the skill of a garage mechanic is increased by a uniform.
What easier way is there for a nurse,a policeman,a hairdresser,or a waiter to lose professional identity(职业身份)than to step out of uniform?
Primary among the argument against uniforms in their lack of variety and the loss of individuality experienced by people who must wear them.Though there are many types of uniforms,the wearer of any particular type is generally stuck with it,without change,until retirement.When people look alike,they are likely to think,speak,and act similarly on the job at least.Uniforms also give rise to some practical problems.Though they are long-lasting,often their initial expense is greater than the cost of civilian clothes.Some uniforms are also expensive to maintain,requiring professional dry cleaning rather than the home laundering possible with types of civilian clothes.
5.People are likely to think that a man in uniform__________.
A.suggests quality work
B.shows his social position
C.appears to be more practical
D.looks more fresh and attractive
6.Those who are against uniforms believe that people wearing uniforms__________.
A.are usually helpful B.have little freedom
C.lose personal character D.enjoy greater popularity
7.It can be concluded from the passage that__________.
A.people generally trust a person in uniform
B.people enjoy wearing comfortable uniform
C.the cost of the uniform is acceptable to people
D.people wear uniforms to show their professions
8.The underlined sentence tells us that__________.
A.it's impossible that people can be recognized more easily by their uniforms
B.people's identity can be recognized more easily by their uniforms
C.nurses and policemen must wear uniforms when working
D.people in those professions act in an easier way without uniforms

五、书面表达
Dear editor,
I'm a middle school student.Today's the 40th anniversary of Chairman Mao's inscription“Learn from Comrade Lei Feng”.Our class held a meeting in memory of it.At the meeting we had a discussion about“Should we learn from Lei Feng in the New Period”.Some students consider that we're now living in a period of market economy,so the spirit of Lei Feng is no longer useful.Some even think it foolish to help others without any reward.But some think Lei Feng's is the spirit of our nation,so we should forever follow Lei Feng's example and do good deeds for the people.
In my opinion,we should not only learn from Comrade Lei Fang,but carry his spirit forward.None of us can do without others'help or care,and at the same time they also need our help.
Yours,
Miao Miao
