21、Body Language can Improve Your Presentation
When preparing for an important job interview or presentation, you might worry about finding the perfect words or the most impressive graphics for your slides. While it’s important to use words and visuals effectively, don’t make the mistake of ignoring the messages your body is sending.
Look me in the eyes
【1】 Some people think that if others refuse to look them in the eye, they must be lying. However, in some cultures, young people are taught that it’s rude to look directly at someone older or in a position of authority so be careful not to make assumptions. Similarly, those who are lying might maintain eye contact for an unnaturally long time in an attempt to convince you that they are being truthful.
Walking tall
The way you stand can make all the difference to the way people perceive you. You may not feel especially confident before a presentation or interview so take a few moments to compose yourself both physically and mentally before entering the room. 【2】 Likewise, straightening your back and shoulders and standing with your feet firmly apart make you appear more self-confident. Good posture also releases hormones into your body which reinforce the impression that you are in control and know what you are talking about.
【3】
Another common protective gesture is folded arms. They literally form a barrier between people and you might find yourself doing it when you feel nervous or uncomfortable. You should certainly avoid folding your arms when speaking in public. 【4】 If they are watching you with crossed arms, don’t panic. There could be a number of reasons for this; they might be cold or simply want to comfort themselves because they are feeling anxious or uneasy. One way of removing this “barrier” between you and them is to ask for a show of hands. 【5】
A．No barriers
B．Hide your nerves
C．Eye contact, or lack of it, can be misleading.
D．But what about your audience?
E．Face-to-face communication is conveyed through gestures, facial expressions and body posture.
F．Smiling sends chemical signals to your brain which help to relax you.
G．This activity involves them in your talk by getting them to participate and make decisions.
22、My students often tell me they don’t have “enough time” to do all their schoolwork. My reply is often brief –You have as much time as the president. I usually carry on a bit about there being 24 hours per day for everyone, and suggest that “not enough time” is not an acceptable explanation of not getting something done.
Once in graduate school, I tried to justify myself to one of my professors by saying that I was working. His answer to me was, “_________What’s important is the quality of your work.” Since then I have had time to reflect on the “hard worker” dodge(伎俩), and I have come to some conclusions – all relevant to the issue of how much time we have.
If you look at the matter analytically, you can identify two parts of the problem. There is, of course, the matter of “time”, which we can think of as fixed. Then there is the issue of “work” during that time, which can vary in intensity. But, as my professor suggested, it’s not diligence but the quality of the product that is important.
That led me to a new idea, the quality of work. That concept is perhaps best explained by a sign I once saw on the wall in someone’s office – Don’t work harder but work smarter! There’s a lot of sense in that idea.
If you can’t get more time, and few of us can, the only solution is to improve the quality of work. That means thinking of ways of getting more out of the same time than we might otherwise get. That should lead us to an analysis of our work habits. Since “work” for students usually means “homework”, the expression “work habits” should be read as “learning habits”.
Then, as a smart student, you will seek to improve those skills that you use in study, chiefly reading and writing. If you learn to read better and write better, there are big benefits that pay off across the board in all your studies.

23、 Although small business training and credit programs have become more common throughout the world, little attention has been paid to the need of young people, and even less to the children living on the street or in difficult condition.
Over the past nine years, Street Kids International (S.K.I.) has been working with partner organizations in Africa, Latin America and India to support the economic lives of street children and develop opportunities for street children to earn income.
The S.K.I. Bicycle Courier Service first started in the Sudan. Street children who took part in it were given bicycles, which they used to deliver parcels and messages. A similar program was taken up in Bangalore, India. The Shoe Shine Collective was a program with the Y.W.C.A. in the Dominican Republic. The children in this project were lent money to buy shoe shine boxes. They were also given a safe place to store their equipment, and facilities for individual savings plans. The Youth Skills Enterprise Initiative in Zambia is a program with the Red Cross Society and the Y.W.C.A. Street youths are supported to start their own small business through business training, life skills training and access to credit.
During the program, The S.K.I. and partner organizations have drawn lessons from the past: First of all, being a businessman is not for everyone, nor for every street child. And it is important for all loans to be linked to training programs that include the development of basic business and life skills. Secondly, small loans are provided firstly for buying fixed assets such as bicycles, shoe shine kits and basic building materials for a market stall. As the children gain experience, they can be given more loan amounts. And all S.K.L. programs have charged interest on the loans. Generally the rates have been lower than bank rates. Most importantly, it is believed that credit must be given with other types of support that help the young develop key life skills as well as productive businesses.
【1】How does S.K.I. help the street children?
A.By giving the street children chances to go to school.
B.By encouraging the public to give money to street children.
C.By creating chances for street children to make money.
D.By drawing the attention of governments to help street children.
【2】Street youths can be lent money to buy shoe shine boxes in _______.
A.The Dominican Republic B.Zambia
C.India D.Sudan
【3】The underlined word “assets” in the last paragraph probably can be replaced by _______.
A.clothing B.vehicle C.equipment D.belongings
【4】From the last paragraph we know _______.
A.each child can only enjoy one kind of loan
B.not all loans should be linked to training programs
C.any child can apply for the business training and loan
D.the children have to pay back slightly more money than they borrow
24、 Scientists have discovered a "monster black hole" so massive that, in theory, it shouldn't exist
It’s a stellar black hole---the type that forms after stars die, collapse, and explode. Researchers had previously believed that the size limit was no more than 20 times the mass of our sun because 8S these stars die, they lose most of their mass through explosions that expel matter and gas swept away by stellar winds
This theory has now been toppled by LB-1, the newly discovered black hole. Located about 15.000 light years away, it has a mass 70 times greater than our sun, according to a press release from the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
The findings were published by Chinese researchers in the journal Nature on Wednesday.
"Black boles of such mass should not even exist in our galaxy, according to most of the current models of stellar evolution," said Liu Jifeng, head of the team that made the discovery. "LB-1 is twice as massive as what we thought possible. Now theorists will have to take up the challenge of explaining its formation."
Scientists are now scratching their heads at how LB-1 got so huge.
The Chinese team has proposed a number of theories. LB-1' sheer size suggests that it “was not formed from the collapse of only one star," the study said--- instead, it could potentially be two smaller black holes orbiting each other.
Another possibility is that it formed from “fallback supermova.” This is when a supernoma---the last stage of an exploding star---ejects material during the explosion, which then falls back into the supernova, creating a black hole.
This fallback formation is theoretically possible, but scientists have never been able to prove or observe it. If this is how LB-1 formed, then we may have "direct evidence for this process” for the first time, the study said.
There are several types of black holes and stellar black holes like LB-1 are on the smaller side, according to NASA. Supermassive black holes are much bigger---they can be billions of times the mass of our sun,
Scientists believe supermassive black holes may be connected to the formation of galaxies, as they often exist at the center of the mass star stems but it is still not clear exactly how, or which form first.
【1】Why does the writer write the article?
A.To report the great achievement Chinese scientists have made in black hole theory,
B.To inform the readers of the basic knowledge about the black hole,
C.To share with the readers the new development of the black hole discovery,
D.To demonstrate the significance of discovering new black holes for science.
【2】Which of the following about LB-1 is true to the passage?
A.It is the biggest black hole ever discovered,
B.It lost only a small part of its mass through explosion.
C.It couldn't have been formed from the collapse of one star,
D.Its discovery may lead to some breakthrough in the “fallback formation theory".
【3】Which of the following is right according to the passage?
A.If the sun in our galaxy dies some of its mass will be taken away by stellar winds.
B.A massive supernova will be formed and then exploded if the sun in our galaxy dies.
C."The Milky Way" was formed after a supermassive black hole collapsed and exploded.
D.If “the Milky Way" dies, a supermassive black hole will be formed after its death.
