Body language is the quiet, secret and most powerful language of all! It speaks    小题1:   than words. According to specialists, our bodies send out more    小题2:   than we realize. In fact, non-verbal communication (非言语交际) takes up about 50% of what we really    小题3: , and body language is  particularly    小题4:   when we attempt to communicate across cultures. Indeed, what is called body language is so much a part of us that it’s actually often unnoticed. And misunderstandings occur as a result of it.   小题5: , different societies treat the    小题6:  between people differently. Northern Europeans usually do not like having    小题7:   contact (接触) even with friends, and certainly not with strangers. People from Latin American countries,    小题8:  , touch each other quite a lot. Therefore, it’s possible that in conversation, it may look like a Latino is    小题9:  a Norwegian all over the room. The Latino, trying to express friendship, will keep moving    小题10:  . The Norwegian, very probably seeing this as pushiness, will keep    小题11:   -- which the Latino will in return regard as    小题12:  .
Clearly, a great deal is going on when people    小题13:  . And only a part of it is in the words themselves. And when parties (当事人) are from different cultures, there’s a strong possibility of    小题14:  . But whatever the situation, the best    小题15:  is to obey the Golden Rule: treat others as you would like to be treated.

“Indeed”George Washington wrote in his diary in 1785, “some kind of fly,or bug,had begun to eat the leaves before I left home.” But the father of America was not the father of bug.When Washington wrote that, Englishmen had been referring to insects as bugs for more than a century, and Americans had already created lightning-bug(萤火虫). But the Enlish were soon to stop using the bugs in their language, leaving it to be the Americans to call a bug a bug in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
The American bug could also be a person, referring to someone who was crazy about a particular activity.Although fan became the usual term, sports fans used to be called racing bugs, baseball bugs and the like.
Or the bug could be a small machine or object, for example, a bug-shaped car. The bug could also be a burlar alarm, from which comes the expression to bug, that is, “to install(安装) an alarm”. Now it means a small piece of equipment that people use for listening secretly to others’ conversations.Since the 1840s,to bug has long meant “to cheat”,and since the 1994s it has been annoying.
We also know the bug as a flaw n a computer program or other design.That meaning dates back to the time of Tomas Edison.In 1878 he explained bugs as “little problems and difficulties” that required months of stdy and labor to overcome in developing a successful product. In 1889 it was recorded that Edison “had been up the two previous nights discovering′a bug′ in his invented record player.”

Americans who volunteer for the Peace Corps get a chance to help improve lives in developing countries. They also get a chance to learn more about the world, and about themselves. This week this program is celebrating its 50th anniversary.
President John Kennedy established the Peace Corps soon after he took office in 1961. It was the time of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union. The new program gave Americans a chance to answer the call to service that the president made in his inaugural(就职的)speech. “Ask not what your country can do for you,” he said. “Ask what you can do for your country.” Kennedy told Peace Corps volunteers that America’s image in the countries where they were going would depend largely on them.
On August 30th, 1961, the first group of 51 Peace Corps volunteers arrived in Accra, Ghana, to serve as teachers. They had agreed to work for almost no pay. They would spend two years in Ghana helping its people and learning the reality of life in a developing country. Most of the volunteers had just completed college. About half of them taught English or health care. In the 50 years since then, more than 200,000 Americans have served as Peace Corps volunteers. They have worked in 139 countries.
The Peace Corps is a government agency that was created to promote world peace and friendship. There are three goals: First, to help the people of interested countries in meeting their need for trained men and women. Second, to help promote a better understanding of Americans on the part of the people served. And, third. to help promote a better understanding of other people on the part of Americans.
Today, the Peace Corps has more than 8,000 volunteers and trainees in 77 countries. They work in agriculture, economic development, education, the environment and health care. Some work in programs related to youth development.
Sixty percent of current Peace Corps volunteers are women. The average age of a volunteer is 28. But the ages of Peace Corps volunteers range from 18 to 86. Some Americans join the Peace Corps after they retire. Today seven percent of volunteers are over the age of 50. And 19 percent are members of minority groups.
小题1:Volunteers for the Peace Corps can _______.
A.improve their abilities by learning in some developed countries
B.travel to many foreign countries to learn more about the world
C.have an opportunity to help all the people in developing countries
D.contribute to lives in developing countries and develop themselves
小题2:Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?
A.Volunteers served as teachers to work for no pay in Accra, Ghana.
B.Kennedy established the Peace Corps before he took office in 1961.
C.Most of the volunteers of the first group had just graduated from college.
D.America’s image in the foreign countries depends completely on volunteers.
小题3:The fourth paragraph is mainly about _______.
A.what the Peace Corps is and its steps
B.why the Peace Corps was created and what are its goals
C.what role the Peace Corps play in daily life
D.How the Peace Corps was created and its aims
小题4:According to the text, volunteers and trainees assist in the following aspects EXCEPT _______.
A.industry B.environment C.education D.health care
小题5:What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A.Most of the volunteers for the Peace Corps are women.
B.Few minority groups joined the Peace Corps.
C.Half of the retired volunteers joined the Peace Corps.
D.People of different ages take an active part in the Peace Corps.

To take the apple as a forbidden fruit is the most unlikely story the Christians (基督教徒) ever cooked up. For them, the forbidden fruit from Eden is evil. So when Colu brought the tomato back from South America, a land mistakenly considered to be Eden, everyone jumped to the obvious conclusion. Wrongly taken as the apple of Eden, the tomato was shut out of the door of Europeans.
What made it particularly terrifying was its similarity to the mandrake, a plant that was thought to have come from Hell. What earned the plant its awful reputation was its roots which looked like a dried-up human body occupied by evil spirits. Though the tomato and the man were quite different except that both had bright red or yellow fruit, the general population considered them one and the same, too terrible to touch.
Cautious Europeans long ignored the tomato, and until the early 1700s most of the Western people continued to drag their feet. In the 1880s, the daughter of a well-known plant expert wrote that the most interesting part of an afternoon tea at her father's house had been the "introduction of this wonderful new fruit -- or is it a vegetable?" As late as the twentieth century some writers still classed tomatoes with mandrakes as an "evil fruit".
But in the end tomatoes carried the day. The hero of the tomato was an American named Robert Johnson, and when he was publicly going to eat the tomato in 1820, people journeyed for hundreds of miles to watch him drop dead. "What are you afraid of?" he shouted. "I'll show you fools these things are good to eat!" Then he bit into the tomato. Some people fainted. But he survived and, according to a local story, set up a tomato-canning factory.
小题1:The tomato was shut out of the door of early Europeans mainly because _______.
A.it made Christians evilB.it was the apple of Eden
C.it came from a forbidden landD.it was religiously unacceptable
小题2:What can we infer from the underlined part in Paragraph 3?
A.The process of ignoring the tomato slowed down.
B.There was little progress in the study of the tomato.
C.The tomato was still refused in most western countries.
D.Most western people continued to get rid of the tomato.
小题3:What is the main reason for Robert Johnson to eat the tomato publicly?
A.To make himself a hero.
B.To remove people's fear of the tomato.
C.To speed up the popularity of the tomato.
D.To persuade people to buy products from his factory.
小题4:What is the main purpose of the passage?
A.To challenge people's fixed concept of the tomato.
B.To give an explanation to people's dislike of the tomato.
C.To present the change of people's attitudes to the tomato.
D.To introduce the establishment of the first tomato-canning factory.

阅读下面的短文,并根据短文后的要求答题(请注意问题后的词数要求)。
In 2009, the number of hungry people in the world reached one billion for the first time. It is difficult not to be shocked by the fact that more than one in seven people on the planet do not have enough to eat. By the end of this year, more than 35 million people will have died as a result of        . Hunger kills more people per year than AIDS and malaria(疟疾 ) combined.
The UN calculates that almost two-thirds of the world's hungry people are in Asia. More than a quarter are in sub-Saharan Africa. Almost all of the rest are in Latin America, North Africa and the Caribbean. In the richest regions of the world there are only a small number of people who don't have enough to eat. There are many reasons for world hunger. They include wars, droughts, floods and the overuse of farming land. All of them affect food production. But the most important reason is, quite simple, poverty—which has increased recently due to the economic effects of the financial crisis of 2008.
Although many people point out that there would be less hunger if the global population were smaller, few people would argue that there is not enough food to go around. The basic problem seems to be not a lack of food, but its distribution. In the last 50 years, global food production has risen even more quickly than the global population and there are of course many areas of the world where people generally have more than enough food. Overweight is a far bigger problem than hunger there.
小题1:What's the main topic of the passage? (no more than 3 words )
                                                                
小题2:Where do most of the hungry people live? (no more than 3 words)

小题4:What does the underlined word "they"(line 4, paragraph 2 ) probably refer to? (no more than 6 words)
                                                                
小题5:What is the suggested way to reduce hunger in Paragraph 3? (no more than 8 words )

Most people want to know how things are made. They honestly admit, however, that they hardly know a thing when it comes to understanding how a piece of music is made. Where a composer begins, how he manages to keep going – in fact, how and when he learns his trade – all are covered in complete darkness. The composer, in short, is a man of mystery .
One of the first things the common man wants to know about is the part inspiration plays in a composer’s work. He finds it difficult to believe that composers are not much interested in that question. Writing music is as natural for the composer as eating or sleeping for all. Music is something that the composer happens to have been born for.
The composer, therefore, does not say to himself: “Do I feel inspired?” He says to himself: “Do I feel like working today?” And if he feels like working, he does. It is more or less like saying to himself: “Do I feel sleepy?” If you feel sleepy, you go to sleep. If you don’t feel sleepy, you stay up. If the composer doesn’t feel like working, he doesn’t work. It’s as simple as that.
小题1:What would be the best title for the text?
A.Composer: a man of mystery
B.Practice makes good music
C.Relation between sleeping and music
D.Music: product of nature
小题2:Most people seem to think that a composer ____.
A.finds it difficult to write music
B.considers it important to have a good rest
C.should like to talk about inspiration
D.never asks himself very simple questions
小题3:The author will most probably agree that composers ____.
A.are born with a gift for music
B.are people full of mystery
C.work late at night for their music
D.know a lot about eating and sleeping

From birth to death, the word kick has been given an important part in expressing human experience. The proud and happy mother feels the first signs of life kicking inside her body. And that same life------many years later------ comes to its end in a widely-used expression, to kick the bucket( 吊桶) .  The expression to kick the bucket is almost 200 years old.  One belief is that it started when an English stableman(马夫) killed himself by hanging  while standing on a bucket. He put a rope around his neck and tied it to a beam(梁柱) in the ceiling, and then kicked the bucket away from under him.
Another old expression that comes from England is to kick over the traces. Traces were the chains(链子) that held at horse or mule to a wagon(货运马车)or plow. Sometimes, an animal refused to obey and kicked over the traces.
Kick around is an expression that is heard often in American English. A person who is kicked around is someone who is treated badly. Usually he is not really being kicked by somebody's foot. He is just not being treated with the respect that all of us want. A person who has kicked around for most of his life is someone who has spent his life moving from place to place. In this case, kicking around means moving often from one place to another. Kick around has another meaning when you use it with the word idea. When you kick around an idea, you are giving that idea some thought.
There is no physical action when you kick a person upstairs, although the pain can be as strong .You kick a person upstairs by removing him from an important job and giving him a job that sounds more important, but really is not.
Still another meaning of the word kick is to free oneself of a bad habit, such as smoking cigarettes. Health campaigns urge smokers to kick the habit.
小题1:It is clear that the author wants to help readers _____________.
A.know English has a long history
B.understand the development of English
C.enjoy the interest of English idioms(习语)
D.learn English expressions with Kick
小题2:What does the idiom "kick over the traces" in "All kids seem to want to kick over the traces and do what they like to" means ____________.     
A.disobey the commandsB.obey the traditions
C. ride a horse or muleD.punish animals strictly
小题3:Mr. Smith always kicked his sons around with no excuse, in other words, his sons___________
A.expressed their ideas freelyB.were looked after well
C.moved their family oftenD.were treated badly
小题4:How many different kinds of meanings are talked about on;'kick around' in the text?
A.One.B.Two.C.Three.D.Four.
小题5:Though Tom got raised to a better position by his boss, he had no power, we can say __________
