In fact, non-verbal communication takes up about fifty percent of what we usually mean. And body language is especially important, when we try to communicate across cultures.Indeed, what is called body language is so much a part of us that its actually often unnoticed. And misunderstandings happen as a result of it. For example, different cultures treat the distance between people differently. Northern Europeans usually do not like having bodily contact, even with friends. And certainly not with strangers. People from the Latin American countries, on the other hand, touch each other quite a lot. So its possible that in conversation it may look like a Latino is following a Norwegian (挪威人)all over the room. The Latino, trying to express friendship, will keep moving closer. The Norwegian, very probably seeing this as rude behavior, will keep backing away, which the Latino will in return regarded as coldness.Obviously, a great deal is going on when people talk. And only a part of it is in the words themselves. And when parties are from different cultures, theres a strong possibility of misunderstanding. But whatever the situation is, the best advice is to obey the golden rule: Treat others as you would like to be treated.21.You may find the passage in _.A. a science magazine B. a guide book C. a sports newspaper D. a story book22. The underlined word “this” in paragraph 3 refers to _.Athe Norwegian keeps moving closerBthe Latino follows the NorwegianCthe Norwegian keeps backing awayDthe Latinos way of expressing friendship23.

Which of the following is true?APeople around the world have the same body languages.BBody language takes up about 50% of our communication.CBody language is the most important in our communication.DBody language is important when trying to communicate across cultures25. If a foreign friend gives a hug to you, you should_.Ashake hands with himBgive him a hug Crefuse him Dkiss himBChina's "Little People's Kingdom" is a theme park, where little people dance and sing in fairytale costumes, drawing both curious groups and criticism. The theme park, near Kunming City in Yunnan Province, employs 108 dwarfs from across the country, who gather on an artificial hillside twice a day to dance and sing for tourists. And all pretend to live in a tiny hilltop village.The guests can watch shows like comedies, group dance and acrobatics. The show's centerpiece, a funny performance of Swan Lake, sees performers dressed in special pink costumes and pretending to be little swans.” The first time I performed it (Swan Lake)I felt a bit embarrassed. I had never worn a skirt like that before. But later, once I got used to it, I found I could do it very well,” said Chen Ruan, 21 ,from Hunan Province who joined the park when it opened.For many of the employees, the park offers a rare opportunity to find work. As unlikely as it seems for men and women doing daily funny performances of Swan Lake, they think that it feels good to live in dormitories that look like caves while living with people with similar experiences. In addition, the life facilities in the park are made according to their special needs. Besides, performers in the park earn 2,000 yuan a month, around twice the salary of a high school graduate.The founder of the park, Chen Ming, made his fortune by producing electronics and investing, but said he had always wanted to help the disadvantaged groups in the community. People, like human right activists for the disabled, think that such a park only encourages the discrimination against little people. The only requirement for participants to be employed at the theme park is to be shorter than 51 inches and be able to take care of themselves in daily life. The youngest employee is 18,and the oldest 48.26According to Chen Ming, he founded the park to _.Ado good for societyBinvest money and increase his fortuneCcreate a ballet show of Swan LakeDlet people know more about the dwarfs27After living in the "Little People's Kingdom" for some time, many employees feel _.Adiscriminated Bboring Cembarrassed Dsatisfied28Which qualifications should the employees in the theme park meet?aHaving the ability to look after themselves.bNo taller than 51 inches.cAged between 18 and 48.dBeing a high school graduate.Aa,b. Ba,c. Cb,d. Dc,d.29What can be learned from the text? AThe employees perform for tourists in nature.BThe employees perform twice a day.CThe 108 employees come from all over the world.DThe park lies in the city of Kunming.30What is the author's attitude towards the park?APositive. BNegative. CObjective. DDoubtfulCGallows humor（黑色幽默）seem like a mistake, or at least in poor taste. But psychologists say that gallows humor can be an important way to relieve stress. “Humor makes you feel in control and it can give you that feeling that everything is okay even when it's not,” says James M. Jones, a psychology professor at the University of Delaware.Psychologists say that just because you're laughing doesn't mean youre wasting time. Occasional teasing among colleagues, particularly if it revolves around things associated with the job, can boost creativity, departmental cohesiveness（凝聚力）and performance.“There are a lot of stressors out there,” says Ed Dunkelblau, a psychologist with the Institute for Emotionally Intelligent Learning in Chicago. “But gallows humor is a way of making difficult things a little less difficult.”This is true as long as the humor is used for the right purpose. The main point of it should be inspiring people - not laughing at them. “Anything that would lift morale（士气）in terms of the company would be good humor,” says Thierry Guedj, a professor of business and psychology at Boston University. “Before you say or do anything, think about, How is this helping my employees morale?”You want to give your employees and co-workers a sense of belonging, so dont make observations that are aggressive. Most obviously, Dr Guedj says, dont make comments about peoples physical appearance, or faith. If you have any doubt, it's appropriate, don't go through with it.Or you can take aim at the one person you know won't be offended（冒犯）:Yourself. “If there's going to be a joke or story, it should be you,” Mr. Dunkelblau says. For example, if you're a marketing manager reviewing a failed campaign that you led, begin with a line like, “The guy who gave permission to this deal might just be looking for work next week.”“People with the ability to laugh at themselves can give other people permission to laugh at themselves too,” Mr. Jones says. “And if you can laugh at yourself, you feel better about yourself.”31. According to the text, gallows humor has the following functions EXCEPT _. A. reducing pressure B. improving performance C. making people more creative D. leading to a big mistake32. What is Ed Dunkelblaus attitude towards gallows humor? A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Neutral. D. Uncertain. 33. Which of the following would Dr. Guedj most probably agree with? A. Gallows humor is the basic source of morale. B. Gallows humor allows people to laugh at others. C. Gallows humor may sometimes be used for the wrong purpose. D. Anything that may lift morale can be called gallows humor. 34. When people use gallows humor, they should _. A. observe who is aggressive B. show a sense of belonging C. doubt about the result of humors D. try to avoid irritating others35. What can we infer from the text? A. People tend to laugh at others rather than themselves. B. Laughing at ourselves can help relieve the stress of others. C. People cant avoid offending others with gallows humor. D. People who laugh at themselves are hard to be friends with. 第二节 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 We are all called upon to make a speech at some point in life, but most of us dont do a very good job. 36 .
