Body language is a very powerful tool of communication, not only between people but in the animal world as well.
In many instances, we produce idioms which are all understandable by borrowing examples from animal communication.
For example, we know that a frightened cat will arch (拱起) its back high in rigid curve (拱形) ．From this starting-point we might hear the expression, “He gets my back up!”meaning“Hemakes me angry.”
In the same manner, we know that many animals, if challenged by attackers, will not turn and run away because this will encourage the attacker to attack them more forcefully, instead, they will move backwards slowly to get out of harm's way, always still facing their attacker．We call this action“backing off”and it can be used just as well with humans as with animals.
In the case of humans, however, the back-off may not be physical but oral, as in using a kinder tone of voice and gentler words instead of fighting against the attackers.
51．When a cat arches its back high in a rigid curve, it shows that it is ____ . [ ]
A．angry B．pleased
C．frightened D．defeated
52．In order not to be attacked by its enemy, the animal will ____ . [ ]
A．move backwards slowly B．turn and run away
C．face the attacker D．Both A and C
53．In the acticle“Back off”means ____ . [ ]
A．to escape from the attackers
B．to get away quickly
C．to keep out the attackers
D．to avoid the attackers in words
54．What is mentioned in this article belongs to a study of English ____ . [ ]

Mark Twain was asked one day if he could remember the first money he earned．He thought for a long time before answering and then said, “Yes, it was at school．I can remember everything about it．Schoolboys in those days never respected their teachers and never took care of the things of the school．They often damaged their desks．There was a rule in our school that any boy who damaged his desk with a pencil or a knife would be beaten in front of the whole school or would have to pay five dollars.”
“One day I damaged my desk in some way．I had to tell my father I had broken the rule, and had to pay five dollars or be beaten before the whole school．My father said it would be too bad to have our family lose face in front of the whole school．He agreed to give me five dollars to hand over to the teacher．But before giving me the money, he took me upstairs and give me a beating.”
“But as I had had one beating and got used to it．I decided I would take another beating at school and keep the five dollars．So that is what I did.”

You can use your Business Telecard (电话卡) International at any card phone in the United Kingdom．Here is some information about making international phone calls．You can now phone almost any country in the world, although in some cases you can only call big cities．When you cannot make direct dialing calls, you ask the international operator to help you．This is more expensive and takes more time, but it may be helpful if you want to speak to a particular person and no one else; in this case you should ask for a“person-to-per”call．Even more expensive is a reverse charge (对方付款) call where the person who receives the call pays.
If the international line is busy, you can reserve (留下) a call, explain the number you want and the operator will call you back when the line is free.
You can save money by calling outside office hours, for example, early in the morning, late at night, and on Sundays.
Remember that the time may be different in the country you are calling．International time is based on GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) ．London is on GMT and Moscow, for example, is 3 hours ahead.
There is one problem： change to DST (Daylight Saving Time) for the Summer．In the UK, clocks are put forward one hour in Spring and put back in Autumn, and so London is actually one hour ahead of GMT in the Summer.
58．What is the most expensive type of call? [ ]
A．Direct dial.
B．Through the operator.
C．Reverse charge call.
D．Calling outside office hours.
59．What can you do if the international line is engaged? [ ]
A．Ask the operator to call you back later.
B．Make a“person-to-person”call.
C．Call back outside office hours.
D．Wait and call again when the line is free.
60．When is it cheaper to make an international call? [ ]
A．10 a.m. B．5 p.m.
C．11 p.m. D．8 a.m.

Americans have contributed to many art forms, but jazz, a type of music, is one of the art forms that were started in the United States．Black Americans, who sang and played the music of their homeland, created jazz.
