24、Did you know that about 55% of communication is unspoken, so in fact, our bodies are actually saying more than our words. I find that the key to a successful conversation in any language is to speak to people not only in their spoken language but also with the body language they know best.

Britain, along with much of Northern Europe, has a non-touch culture, so personal space is very important. In a formal(正式的) situation, we would usually greet each other with a handshake. Informally, but not so often, my British friends and I would greet with a hug. Hardly ever would we greet with a kiss on the cheek, let alone a hug and two kisses on the cheek!

Here in the south of Italy, and in many different parts of the world, both men and women greet with two kisses on the cheek, use a lot of hand signs and often touch each other. In other words, little personal space is left between people when communicating.

At university, I have learnt to successfully communicate in spoken Italian. And since I moved to live with the local people, I have also started to pick up their body language. Sometimes, I find myself not knowing what hand signs to use when expressing myself. However, what I know for sure is that I would miss the opportunity to fully put myself in the Italian culture if I keep my personal space unbroken.

Here are 5 body language tips in Italy;

● Use different signs; head, arms and hands.

● Use facial expressions. Always smile at people! It is said that smiling is the most powerful unspoken way to communicate friendliness.

● Use eye contact , because "the eyes are the window to the soul."

● Don't worry about personal space. Italians are a people who like to use the sense of touch, so moving away or keeping your distance may be considered as being unfriendly.

● Touch. When meeting and leaving, always shake hands.

【1】 In Britain, people usually greet each other with   .

A. a warm hug B. a handshake

C. a kiss on the cheek D. two kisses on the cheek

【2】 The writer uses Britain and Italy as examples to show   .

A. men and women greet in the same way

B. Italians are more friendly than the British people

C. keeping personal space is very important in any country

D. people in different countries use different body language

【3】 From Paragraph 3, we can learn that the writer   .

A. likes to keep his personal space

B. tries to learn Italian body language

C. knows little about Italian hand signs

D. keeps using British body language in Italy

【4】What is the most powerful unspoken way to show friendliness in Italy?

A. Hand signs. B. Smiling. C. Eye contact. D. Touch.

26、Do you know which social app is popular with Chinese young people now? “Short videos” are certainly the most popular. A large number of young people use Tik Tok (抖音) and Kuaishou. They think it is fun to share their lives by short videos, while others have other purposes as well.

A 12-year-old user named Elsa has about 2.7 million fans on Tik Tok. The girl has shared her dancing studies on Tik Tok since last July. One of the videos won her about one million fans. “I feel really glad to share happiness with people by short videos,” said Elsa.

To some other young people, they use short videos to have a quick look at the hot programs. “Because I don’t like to spend many hours watching a whole program, I hate waiting for a program to end, and I prefer to watch short videos of wonderful parts of hot programs,” said Wang Zhihao.

However, some young people feel bored with short videos. “Killing time is the main reason for me to watch short videos, and many short videos are almost the same, so I think they are not so useful or interesting. What’s more, I really don’t like the videos about strange and dangerous things,” said Wen Nan, another college student.

Recently, something else has appeared. Some videos tell people what commodities are worth buying. Some short videos even sell bad commodities, and it’s hard for customers to get their money back. So we should think twice before we want to buy the commodities by short videos.

27、For centuries, the body’s blood has been connected closely with the feelings. People who show no human emotions or feelings are said to be cold-blooded.

Cold can affect other parts of the body. But the expression ―get cold feet‖ has nothing to do with cold or your feet. The expression means being afraid to do something you have decided to do. For example, you agree to be CEO of a company. But then you learn that all the other officers have resigned (辞职), and all the work of the company will be your responsibility (责任). You are likely to get cold feet about being CEO when you understand the situation.

The expression “give someone the cold shoulder” probably comes from the physical act of turning your back toward someone, instead of speaking to him face to face. You may give the cold shoulder to a friend who has not kept a promise (遵守诺言) he made to you, or to someone who has lied about you to others.

“A cold fish”is not a fish. It is a person. But it is a person who is unfriendly, unemotional and shows no love or warmth. A cold fish does not offer much of himself to anyone. Someone who is a cold fish could be cold-hearted. He or she will never feel sorry for those in bad situation.

“Out in the cold” means not getting something that everybody else got. A person might say that everybody but him got a pay raise—he was left out in the cold. And it is not a pleasant place to be.

【1】 How many expressions about ―cold‖ are mentioned in the passage?

A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Seven.

【2】 If you ―get cold feet‖, it means  “ ______”

A. your feet are very cold

B. you offer much of yourself to anyone

C. you miss something that everybody else got

D. you are afraid to do something you have decided to do

【3】You may think of an unfriendly person as “ ______”

A. a cold fish    B. the cold feet

C. the cold shoulder  D. being out in the cold

【4】 What’s the passage mainly about?

A. Ways of making friends.

B. Advice on keeping warm.

C. Expressions connected with ―cold‖.

D. Opinions about cold-hearted people.

Hong Kaitong, a fourth-grader from Guangzhou, e【1】 a fun holiday this summer. I【2】 of attending English or math training courses, she played badminton and basketball most of the time.

A new guideline (指导方针)by central authorities (中央政府) on July 24 helped Zhong have some free time during the summer.
