As we see from the table, many differences exist between Chinese and American body language. For example, there are more touching gestures in China than in America. Women or girls in China often walk hand-in-hand, which is very rare in America. Also, Americans think it rude to put out one's tongue, while the Chinese often use this gesture when they are embarrassed. Furthermore, Chinese people will pat children on the head if they like them, while the Americans do so to offer encouragement or comfort. In a word, only by fully understanding all the differences in body language can we expect to achieve proper communication. 高频单词 1.represent (vt.) 代表;象征→representative (adj.) 有代表性的 (n.) 代表;典型 2.adult (n.) 成人;成年人 (adj.) 成人的;成熟的 3.function (n.) 作用;功能;职能 (vi.) 起作用;运转 4.ease (n.) 安逸;舒适 (vt.) 减轻(痛苦、忧虑) 5.false (adj.) 错误的;假的 6.rank (n.) 等级;军衔 7.dash (vi.) 猛冲;突进 8.approach (vt.&vi.) 接近;靠近;走近 (n.) 接近;方法;途径 9.association (n.) 社团;联系;联想→associate (vt.) 把……联系起来 10.curious (adj.) 好奇的→curiously (adv.) 好奇地→curiosity (n.) 好奇;好奇心 11.defend (vt.) 保护;保卫→defence (n.) 防御;保卫→defensive(adj.)防御性的 12.major (adj.) 主要的→majority (n.) 大多数;大部分 13.misunderstand (vt.) 误解;误会→misunderstanding (n.) 误解;误会→misunderstood (过去式 /过去分词) 14.spoken (adj.) 口语的→unspoken (反义词) (adj.)未说出口的;非口语的 15.truly (adv.) 真实地;真诚地;真正地→true (adj.) 真实的→truth (n.) 事实;真理 16.statement (n.) 陈述;说明→state (vt.) 声明;陈述→state (n.) 状态;州;国家 17.simply (adv.) 简单地;只→simple (adj.) 简单的;朴素的→simplify (vt.) 简化 18.anger (n.) 怒气;怒火→angry (adj.) 生气的→angrily (adv.) 愤怒地;生气地 19.greet(vi.&vt.) 迎接;问候→greeting (n.) 迎接;问候;招呼 20.subjective (adj.) 主观的→subject (n.) 学科;主观事物→objective (反义词) (adj.) 客观的 21.facial (adj.) 面部的→face (n.) 脸;面部 重点短语 1.defend..._against 防御;保卫……以免受…… 2.be_likely_to 很可能……;有希望…… 3.in_general 总的来说;通常 4.at_ease 舒适;快活;自由自在 5.lose_face 丢脸 6.turn_one's_back_to 背对 7.in_defence 防御;保卫 8.on_the_contrary 相反 9.be_nervous_about 对……感到紧张 10.in_most_cases 在大多数情况下 热点句型 1.特殊疑问词+插入语+疑问句剩余部分?

Researchers say these mobile ears have become a useful communication tool. Their studies of animal behaviour build up a picture of how communication and social skills developed. “We're interested in how they communicate,” said lead researcher Jennifer Wathan. “And being sensitive to what another individual is thinking is a fundamentalW2 skill from which other more complex skills develop.” Ms Wathan and her colleague Prof Karen McComb set up a behavioural experiment where individual horses had to use visual clues from another horse in order to choose where to feed. They led each horse to a point where it had to select one of two buckets. On a wall behind this Decision-making spot was a life-sized photograph of a horse's head facing either to left or right. In some of the trialsW3, the horses' ears or eyes were covered. If the ears and eyes of the horse in the picture were visibleW4, the horses being tested would choose the bucket towards which its gaze and its ears were directed. If the horse in the picture had either its eyes or its ears covered, the horse being tested would just choose a feed bucket at random. Like many mammals that are hunted by predators (捕食者), horses can rotate (旋转) their ears through halmost 180 degrees—but Ms Wathan said that in our “humancentric” view of the world, we had overlookedW5 the importance of these very mobile ears in animal communication. “It seems there's something in the visual clues—from both the eyes and the ears—that are really important,” she told BBC News. “Horses have quite rich social lives and relationships with other horses, so they're a good species to look at this in.” And the more we look at communication across different species, the more we can consider what might have promoted the evolution of sophisticated communication and social skills. 篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文,通过研究动物的交流方式,研究人员们发现耳朵也是动物的一种交流工具。 1.Why does a horse rotate its ears? A.To tell each other where they can go for the buckets. B.To be curious about what the other horse is thinking. C.To warn the other horse when an attacker is coming closer. D.To express its hope to build up social relations with others. 答案:C 细节理解题。根据文章首句可知,马儿转动耳朵的目的是警告另外的马儿,有攻击者正在靠近。 2.Why did the researchers use the life-sized photograph of a horse in the experiment? A.To help develop horses' complex skills. B.To lead other horses to feed themselves. C.To make the horses in the experiment excited. D.To provide clues for the horses in the experiment. 答案:D 推理判断题。由第 3、4 段可知,利用马的图片是为其他的马提供信息交流线索的。 3.Why are ears and eyes important to horses? A.They can find the feeding buckets more easily with ears and eyes. B.With ears and eyes they can escape from dangers more easily. C.With ears and eyes they can communicate with other horses. D.Horses have quite rich social lives with ears and eyes. 答案:C 细节理解题。由末段前两句可知,马是一种善于交际的动物,马耳朵和眼睛是马保持高度警觉并有效沟通的工具。 4.What can be the best title of the passage? A.Rotary Ears Serve as Communication Tools B.Horses Have More Social Skills than Other Species C.Experiments with Horses' Ears D.Fundamental Skills of Horses 答案:A 主旨大意题。通读全文可知,本文介绍了能旋转的马耳朵是马的一种交流工具的研究结果,因此选 A 项。 W重点单词 1.attacker n. 攻击者;袭击者;进攻者 2.fundamental adj. 基本的 3.trial n. 试验 4.visible adj. 看得见的;可见的 5.overlook vt. 忽略;未注意到;远眺 P重点短语 1.build up 创建;开发;增强;加强 2.at random 随意地;任意地 B Everyone “talks” with their hands at least sometimes. Some people's handtalking or gesturing matchesW1 their messages well. Other people like to make overly large gestures that can be confusing. And still others don't use their hands much at all. No matter which camp you fall into, it's important to pay attention to your hand gestures while you are communicating. And also remember that hand gestures can have cultural meanings. A few years ago, I was a speaker at a conference in Lisbon, Portugal. It was my first time in Portugal, and I became instantly fond of the special custard pastries(油酥点心) that Lisbon and Portugal are known for. One morning I went into a bakery and ordered two of the pastries. I did so by holding up two fingers, similar to the “victory” or “peace” gesture in the United States. The person behind the counter proceeded to put three pastries in a box. I later learned that the gesture for two would have been to raise my thumb and index finger. Even though my thumb wasn't showing, the person behind the counter thought I was signaling for three. I was lucky that I didn't get into more trouble than an extra pastry. Many hand gestures are not universal.

To be honest, I sometimes have the same experience as you. But you have to know that procrastination is the thief of time. The following advice may help you overcome it soon. The most effective means to solve the problem is that you can make a “to do” list. For example, you can write “Finish homework before Saturday night” on your plan. If you manage to finish it, you can reward yourself. Otherwise, punish yourself. What's more, you can find a person to remind you to finish work at any time. Then you can arrange your most important work at efficient times, like 8-10 o'clock. Different people base different efficient times. But it doesn't matter what time it is. Just don't waste time, following the schedule strictly. Last but not the least, do it now, just from now.
