Many people, including some policemen, believe eye contact is a good test of honesty. If someone can't look at you directly in the eye, then he or she is not playing honestly, they insist. After many experiments, however, a number of experts have found out that good liars can make false eye contact.Eye contact, though not a sure sign of dishonesty, is a clear way to show interest in another person. When a person looks at you and continues to do so, you know his attention is placed on you. When he turns his head away, his mind is probably elsewhere. But there are exceptions. A shy person may have trouble making and keeping eye contact, no matter how interested he is in the other person. And certain nationalities, such as the British and Germans, are much less oriented to eye-to-eye contact than, say, the French and the Arabs.Eye contact should be natural, not forced or overdone.Have short periods of eye contact while you watch other parts of the person's face — especially the mouth. When the person smiles, be sure to smile back. But always make an effort to return your gaze to the person's eyes as she speaks. It is common to look up, down, and all around when speaking to others, and not have eye contact at all times.Too much eye contact, especially if it is forced, can work against you. If you stare at a person, or leer in a suspicious way, the other person may feel uncomfortable and even suspicious about your intent. A fixed stare can seem like aggressive behavior. if it is a challenge as to who will look away first.(1)Many people believe that eye contact is a sign of ___________.A、honestyB、dishonestyC、attentionD、A and C(2)According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?A、Eye contact is a way to show interest in another person.B、When a person looks at you, his attention is placed on you.C、When a person fails to make eye contact, he is definitely not interested in you.D、It is common to look up, down, and all around when speaking to others.(3)While we watch other person's face, we should have short periods of eye contact with, especially, other people's _____________.A、eyesB、noseC、mouthD、ears(4)Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A、Eye contact is not a good test of honesty.B、Some people may have trouble making and keeping eye contact, no matter how interested he is in the other person.C、If someone can look at you directly in the eye, he or she is playing honestly.D、A number of experts have found out that no one can make false eye contact.(5)This passage mainly discusses ________________.A、how to test one is honest or not by the way of eye contactB、how to make eye contactC、how to avoid too much eye contactD、the function of correct eye contact

Passage FiveMany superstitious people are afraid of black cats. They believe that black cats have a strange power. If a black cat crosses their path, they think they will have bad luck.Black cats haven't always had such a bad reputation. Long ago, the Egyptians thought that black cats were holy animals. They even worshipped them. Pasht was an Egyptian goddess who had a woman's body and a cat's head. Because the Egyptians had so much respect for black cats, they often buried the sacred creatures with great ceremony. Mummies of cats have often been found in ancient cemetery ruins. To keep the cats company after they died, mice were sometimes buried beside them.Feelings about black cats have always been strong. People have thought they were either very good or very bad. The people of Europe, in the Middle Ages, believed black cats were the evil friends of witches and the Devil. Witches were said to have the power to change themselves into black cats. People believed that you could not tell whether a black cat was just a cat, or whether it was a witch disguising herself as she plotted some evil scheme. The brain of a black cat was thought to be a main ingredient in witch's brew.Unlike their ancestors of the Middle Ages, Englishmen today consider black cats to be good luck charms. Fishermen's wives often keep a black cat around so that their husbands will be protected when they are out at sea.52. The Egyptian goddess Pasht had a ______.A. woman's head and a cat's bodyB. woman's head and a lion's bodyC. cat's head and a man's bodyD. woman's body and a cat's head

In business, people have to deal in person__________ all kinds of people. You may have to use English when talking to different people within your company who don't speak your language; these may be colleagues or co-workers, superiors or subordinates-who may work with you in your own department, in another part of the building or in another branch. And you may also have to deal in English with people from__________ the organization: clients, suppliers, visitors and members of the public. Moreover, these people may be friends, acquaintances or strangers-people of your own age, or people who are__________ or older than you. The relationship you have with a person determines the kind of language you use. This relationship may even affect what you say when you meet people: for example, it's not__________ to say “Hi, how are you!” when meeting the Managing Director of a large company or to say “Good morning, it's a great pleasure to meet you” when being introduced to a person you'll be working closely with in the same team. Remember that people form. an impression of you from the way you speak and behave-not just from the__________ you do your work. People in different countries have different ideas of what sounds friendly, polite or sincere-and of what sounds rude or unfriendly! Good manners in your culture may be considered bad manners in another. Remember also that your body language, gestures and expression may tell people more about you than the words you use.

Social customs and ways of behaving change.Things which were considered impolite many years ago are now acceptable.Just a few years ago,it was considered impolite behaviour for a man to smoke on the street.No man who thought of himself as being a gentleman would make a fool of himself by smoking when a lady was in a room.Customs are also different from country to country.Does a man walk on the left or the right of a woman in your country?Or doesn't it matter?What about table manner?Should you use both hands when you are eating?The Americans and the British not only speak the same language but also share a large number of social customs.For example,in both America and England people shake hands when they meet each other for the first time.Also,most Englishmen will open a door for a woman or offer their seat to a woman,and so will most Americans.Promptness is important both in England and in America.That is,if a dinner invitation is for 7 o'clock,the dinner guest either arrives close to that time or calls up to explain his delay.The important thing to remember about social customs is not to do anything that might make other people feel uncomfortable--especially if they are your guests.There is an old story about a man who gave a dinner party.When the food was served,one of the guests started to eat his peas with a knife.The other guests were amused or shocked,but the host calmly picked up his knife and began eating in the same way.It would have been bad manners to make his guest feel foolish or uncomfortable.Which of the following do you think is the best title for this passage?A.Social Customs and BehaviouB.Social LifC.American and British CustomD.Promptness Is Importan

共用题干The First Four MinutesWhen do people decide whether or not they want to become friends?During their first four minutes together,according to a book by Dr. Leonard Zunin.In his book,Contact:The First Four Minutes,he offers this advice to anyone interested in starting new friendships:"________(46)A lot of people's whole lives would change if they did just that."You may have noticed that the average person does not give his undivided attention to someone he has just met._________(47)If anyone has ever done this to you,you probably did not like him very much.When we are introduced to new people,the author suggests,we should try to appear friendly and self-confident. In general,he says,"People like people who like themselves".On the other hand,we should not make the other person think we are too sure of ourselves.It is important to appear interested and sympathetic,realizing that the other person has his own needs,fears,and hopes.Hearing such advice,one might say,"But I'm not a friendly,self-confident person.That's not my nature.It would be dishonest for me to act that way."__________(48)We can become accustomed to any changes we choose to make in our personality."It is like getting used to a new car. It may be unfamiliar at first,but it goes much better than the old one."But isn't it dishonest to give the appearance of friendly self-confidence when we don't actually feel that way?Perhaps,but according to Dr. Zunin,"total honesty"is not always good for social relationships, especially during the first few minutes of contact. There is a time for everything,and a certain amount of play-acting may be best for the first few minutes of contact with a stranger. That is not the time to complainabout one's health or to mention faults one finds in other people.It is not the time to tell the whole truth about one's opinions and impressions.________(49)For a husband and wife or a parent and child,problems often arise during their first four minutes together after they have been apart. Dr. Zunin suggests that these first few minutes together be treated with care.If there are unpleasant matters to be discussed,they should be dealt with later.The author says that interpersonal relations should be taught as a required course in every school,along with reading,writing,and mathematics.__________(50)That is at least as important as how much we know._________(49)A:In reply,Dr. Zunin would claim that a little practice can help us feel comfortable about changing our social habits.B:Much of what has been said about strangers also applies to relationships with family members and friends.C:In his opinion,success in life depends mainly on how we get along with other people.D:Every time you meet someone in a social situation,give him your undivided attention for four minutes.E:He keeps looking over the other person'S shoulder,as if hoping to find someone more interesting in another part of the room.F:He is eager to make friends with everyone.

问答题Directions: Read the following texts from which five sentences have been removed. Choose from the sentences A—G the most suitable one to fill each numbered gap in the text (1—5). There are TWO extra sentences that you do not need to use. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.  Practice 1  1 ______ For this reason, there is a current boom in language learning for business people. But unless they can speak a foreign language really well, it is best to save it for socializing.  2 ______ And psychologists say that your body language is much more important than what you say. Doing the wrong thing, making eye contact, touching, using people’s first names, even how you eat and drink—can all be hazardous for people who are unfamiliar with certain cultures.  3 ______ In low context cultures such as North America, Britain, Sweden and Germany, people say things very plainly, and rely on clear verbal communication. High context cultures such as France, Japan, Spain, Saudi Arabia, China and South Korea often use silence or hand signals to communicate, and this can sometimes be as important as speaking.  4 ______ In Japan, people bow to each other. In England, people shake hands firmly, but not very often—while in places like Italy and France people shake hands all the time but not as firmly as the English. The Germans and the Danish nod their heads while they shake hands, as a mark of respect, while people in Mediterranean countries sometimes lean their heads backwards while doing the same thing.  5 ______ For example, the British kiss each other once, on the right cheek, the French kiss each other twice, first on the left cheek and then on the right, but in some cultures, especially in the Middle East, they kiss up to four times and still shake hands![A] But actions speak louder than words.[B] Trying to make people from other cultures feel comfortable can be confusing as well.[C] One of the most important aspects of doing business internationally is being able to speak other languages.[D] Some cultures communicate by using signals.[E] Cultures are divided into “low context” and “high context”.[F] Shaking hands is often the most common form of greeting people, but even this can create problems.[G] As a rule, though, close physical greetings such as kissing are not a good idea.
