24、Puzzled face asks for help

Think about the last time you did something that you found difficult. Was it working out a puzzle or working hard on your math homework?

Can you remember the expression you had on your face?Most people will press their lips together and frown when they are doing something they find difficult. This is normally seen as a sign of effort. Now we’ve found that it can also say more than that.

A recent study at the University of Portsmouth in England suggests that the human expression of effort and frustration(挫折) is our way of asking others for help.

Scientists at the university gave children and chimpanzees(黑猩猩) an impossible puzzle to work out. When the children couldn’t work out the puzzle, their faces expressed determination and effort. The chimpanzees’ did not.

Humans and chimpanzees have many facial expressions that share the same meaning. A human smile is the same as a chimpanzee showing its teeth in happiness.

Scientists believe that over time, humans have evolved(进化) to use this facial expression to ask for help. We have also learned to respond to it by offering help.

According to Dr Albert Mehrabian, a well-known professor of psychology at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), only 7% of human communication happens through words and 55% is through body language. Therefore, understanding expressions is second nature to human beings.

With this in mind, next time you see a person with a frustrated expression, listen to your heart and stop to lend them a hand.

【1】【1】What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A. Frowning   B. The expression   C. Something difficult   D. A sign of effort

【2】【2】According to the recent study, people’s expression of effort or frustration tells others that __________.

A. they need help   B. they can do things themselves

C. they will give up   D. they want to be alone.

【3】【3】Which of the following about the study is TRUE?

A. Scientists gave the chimpanzees an easy puzzle.

B. The chimpanzees smiled as they worked out the puzzle.

C. The chimpanzees’ face didn’t show determination or effort.

D. The chimpanzees used other expressions to ask for help.

【4】【4】According to Dr Albert Mehrabian, we learn that ____________.

A. body language is very important in human communication

B. people don’t like to use words to communicate

C. human expressions are not a kind of body language

D. words can’t help much in communication

25、Love, joy, and the warm feeling of pulling together to get through tough times don’t cost a thing. But gifts do cost money. So, what’s a poor family to do?

When Christmas season rolled around, I told my mother that the only thing I wanted was a pogo stick. However, my mother told me they were too expensive and that we simply couldn’t afford one.

On a Saturday afternoon a couple of weeks before Christmas, my mom and dad told me we needed to go to Sears to pay our credit card bill. While my mother and I were paying the bill, my dad said, “I’ll be right back — I need to see something in the tool department.” A little later, my dad came back with a long box. I remember wondering at that moment if there was a pogo stick in that box.

When we got home, my dad put the box in the garage. While my parents were busy with their chores, I quietly walked out to the garage and found the box. I hoped a pogo stick would be inside — but when I opened it, there was just an old broom. And so it looked like Christmas morning would be disappointing.

But after all the wrapping paper was cleaned up, my dad said he needed to tend to something in the garage. When he came back in, he was carrying a beautiful pogo stick. I couldn’t believe it!

My parents probably got quite a laugh from the trick they played on me.

Although we didn’t have much money, my parents gave me the most important gift of all: lots of love. My dad worked hard to support our family and my mother knew how to stretch a dollar. That was over 60 years ago and I still think about those wonderful Christmas memories every year during the holiday season. My parents were the best and I will never forget all the joy they brought into my life.

27、There are many colors in nature．But do you think that a color has weight? I think you'll say “no”. But I'm afraid you are wrong. If you don't believe it, you may do a small experiment (实验)．

First, put two objects with the same weight into two boxes．Then cover the boxes. Third, wrap(色裹) one box with a red piece of paper, the other one with a white piece of paper. OK．Now hold the boxes with your hand one by one．It is certain that you will think the red one is a little heavier．

Why do you think so? A scientist found that different colors have different weights in man's mind. That is to say, every color has its own weight in our mind．

The scientist told us that colors also have smell．Can you smell the color? Of course not．Then why did the scientist say so. That is because every color stands for (代表) a kind of light with a certain wavelength (波长)．It reaches our brain through sense organs.

According to this discovery, scientists say that people accept the colors they like, and refuse the colors they hate．So your body and mind will be healthy by using the colors you like．Or you'll be nervous or even get ill． For example,  you like blue and hate red．If you stay in a room with red windows, wallpaper and furniture for two hours, you'll feel you have been there for four hours．But if the room is blue, you'll feel you have been there for only an hour. And, if a person walks out of a blue room and into a red room, his temperature will rise．

That means our body temperature will change with different colors．

【1】From the experiment, we know that_________．

A．the two boxes have the same weight

B．colors can change the weight of an object

C．the red paper is heavier than the white paper

D．colors have different weights in people's mind

【2】From the fourth paragraph, we can infer ____．

A．the smell of colors is changeable（可变的）

B．people can sense the light from colors

C．people can smell the colors through the nose

D．all the colors have the same smell for the blind

【3】Which of the following is true?   ____．

A．White color is heavier than red color

B．People may get ill if they refuse the colors they don't like

C．People can stay longer in red rooms than in blue rooms

D．People's body temperature will change with different colors

【4】We can infer from the last paragraph that____．

A．red color is bad for our health

B．people may get nervous in a red room

C．blue color can raise（提升）our body temperature

D．colors can influence our mood（情绪）and health

【5】The passage is probably ____．

C．a science report D．an advertisement

28、阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的词，或用括号中所给单词的正确形式填空。

“Can I have a glass of hot water?” This is a very common question for Chinese customers in a restaurant. But 【1】 you go abroad, you may find that meals in the West tend to come with tall glasses of ice water. For most Chinese people, 【2】 (drink) hot water is part of everyday life. It is believed that water of a warm temperature (25-30℃) is good for people’s health, 【3】 (especial) for the stomach.

But many Western people drink cold water even in winter. One possible reason is 【4】 in Western countries people can drink water directly from the tap, rather than having to boil 【5】. And it’s also normal to jump into a cold shower after exercise 【6】 (bring) the heart rate down.

However, there is one common thing 【7】 (encourage) in both the East and the West: One can cool down 【8】 drinking a hot drink in summer. As sweating is a good way to cool off in summer, hot drinks make you hotter and you begin to sweat（出汗）.

Of course, it doesn’t matter if you drink hot 【9】 cold water. The more comfortable your body feels, the 【10】 (good) it is.
