I worked after school and during summers for minimum wages and the job helped pay for my freshman year of college. I worked at ma

120、ny other jobs afterwards: I made coffee in the student union during college. I made maps for the U.S Forest Service. But selling books was one of the most satisfying. One day a woman asked me for books on cancer. She seemed fearful. I showed her everything we had and found other books we could order

121、. She left the shop less worried and I ve always remembered the pride I felt in having helped her. Years later, as a television reporter, I heard about a poor child who was born with his fingers of the left hand linked together. His family could not afford the corrective surgery, and the boy lived i

Scandinavia - which now makes a great deal of the world s paper - did not begin to make it until 1500. Most paper is made fr

130、om wood. Paper-making is an important British industry and paper from Britain is sold to many countries such as Australia and South Africa. Some of the wood used in the British paper making industry comes from trees grown in Britain, but wood is also bought from other countries such as Norway. One t

131、ree is needed for every four hundred copies of a forty-page newspaper. If half the adults in Britain buy one daily paper, this uses up over a thousand trees a day. All over the world, trees are being cut down faster than they are being planted, so there may be a serious need for paper at the beginni

132、ng of next century. When we think of paper, we think of newspaper, books, letters and writing paper. But there are many other uses. Only half of paper is used for books and newspaper, etc. Paper is very good for keeping you warm. Each year, more and more things are made of paper. Now we hear that ch

D) Passage 3 We often use gestures to express our feelings, but the problem is that the gestures can be understood in different ways. It is true that a

136、smile means the same thing in any language. So does laughter or crying . Fear is another emotion that is shown in much the same way all over the world. In Chinese and in English literature, a phrase like he went pale and began to tremble suggests that the man is either very afraid or he has just got

137、 a very big shock. However, he opened his eyes wide is used to suggest anger in Chinese whereas in English it means surprise. In Chinese, surprise can be described in a phrase like they stretched out their tongues! “ Stretching out your tongue ” in English is an insulting gesture or expresses strong

138、 dislike. Even in the same culture, people differ in their ability to understand and express feelings. Experiments in America have shown that women are usually better than men at recognizing fear, anger, love and happiness on peoples faces. Other studies show that older people usually find it easier

139、 to recognize or understand body language than younger people do. 1. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. We can easily understand what people s gestures mean.B. Words can be better understood by older people. C. Gestures can be understood by most people but words are not. D.

A. people of different sexes may understand a gesture differently B. people speaking different languages have different facial expressions C. people

With voice mail, you can make entire conversations without ever reaching anyone. If my mom has a question, I just leave the answer on her machine. As almost every contact between huma
