Body language is the quiet, secret and most powerful language of all! It speaks 21 than words. According to specialists, our bodies send out more 22 than we realize.

Indeed, what is called body language is so 25 a part of us that it’s actually often unnoticed.

（i）选择题（阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。共10小题，每小题4分，共40分）
Passage A
As she walked round the huge department store, Edith thought how difficult it was to choose a suitable Christmas present for her father. She wished that he was easy to please as her mother, who was always delighted with perfume.
Besides, shopping at this time of the year was a most disagreeable experience, people trod on your toes, poked (戳) you with their elbows and almost knocked you over in their haste to get to a bargain ahead of you.
Partly to have a rest, Edith stopped in front of a counter where some attractive ties were on sale. “They are real silk.” the assistant assured her, trying to persuade her to buy one. “Worth double the price.” But Edith knew from past experience that her choice of ties hardly ever pleased her father.
She moved on reluctantly and then quite by chance, stopped where a small crowd of man had gathered round a counter. She found some good quality pipes on sale—and the prices were very reasonable. Edith did not hesitate for long, although her father only smoked a pipe occasionally, she knew that this was a present which was bund to please him.
When she got home, with her small well-chosen present concealed in her handbag, her parents were already at the supper table. Her mother was in an especially cheerful mood, “Your father has at last to decided to stop smoking.” She informed her daughter.
41. Edith’s father _________.
A. did not like present B. never got present
C. preferred ties D. was difficult to choose a present for
42. The assistant spoke to Edith because she seemed _________.
A. attractive B. interested in ties C. tired D. in need of comfort

C. from time to time D. when he was delighted
45. Shopping was very disagreeable at that time of the year because _________.
A. customers trod on each other’s toes
B. customers poked each other with their elbows
C. customers knocked each other
D. customers were doing their shopping in a great hurry

Passage B
Among rich countries, people in the United States work the longest hours. They work much longer than in Europe. This difference is quite surprising because productivity per hour worked is the same in the United States as it is in France, Spain and Germany, and it is growing at a similar speed.
In most countries and at most times in history, as people have become richer they have chosen to work less. In other words they have decided to “spend” a part of their extra income on a fuller personal life. Over the last fifty years Europeans have continued this pattern, and hours of work have fallen sharply. But not in the United States. We do not fully know why this is. One reason may be more satisfying work, or less satisfying personal lives.
Longer hours do of course increase the GDP (国内生产总值). So the United States has produced more per worker than, say, France. The United States also has more of its people at work, while in France many more mothers and older workers have decided to stay at home. The overall result is that American GDP per head is 40% higher than in France, even though productivity per hour worked is the same.
It is not clear which of the two situations is better. As we have seen, work has to be compared with other values like family life, which often get lost in interest. It is too early to explain the different trends in happiness over time in different countries. But it is a disappointing idea that in the United States happiness has made no progress since 1975, while it has risen in Europe. Could this have anything to do with trends in the work-life balance?
46. From the text we know that the author _________.
A. believes that longer working hours is better
B. prefers shorter working hours to longer ones
C. says nothing certain about which pattern is better
D. thinks neither of the patterns is good
47. Which of the following countries has more of its people at work?
A. Spain. B. France. C. Germany. D. America.
48. In the last paragraph, the underlined word “which” refers to _________.
A. family life B. situations C other values D. trends
49. What message can we get from the text?
A. The GDP of Europe is higher than that of America.
B. Two possible reasons are given for working longer hours in the US.
C. People all over the world choose to work less when they are richer.
D. Americans are happier than Europeans.
50. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A. Americans and Europeans B. Staying at Home
C. Work and Productivity D. Work and Happiness

Passage C
About 130 years ago. Thomas Edison of the US invented the light bulb. Edison’s bulb has turned night into day ever since. But today, many want to turn the light off.
The European Union (欧盟) recently decided that by 2009 people should stop using the Edison-style light bulb. Instead, they should use compact fluorescent lamps.
CFLs save energy and last longer. They can save money in the long run,” said a British official. CFLs use 67% less electricity than the older bulbs. They last up to 10 times longer. Scientists say that if everyone used CFLs, electricity use would be cut by 18 percent. There would also be much smaller amounts of greenhouse gases given off.
But it’s difficult to make people change their lighting habits. First the CFLs are more expensive. They cost eight times the price of the older bulbs. Many people don't like the CFL bulb. They find it too bright. You cannot change the light of a CFL, either
CFLs have been around for several years. However, the older lights still make up about two-thirds of total light bulb sales.
51. Thomas Edison invented the CFL bulb 130 years ago.
52. Countries in the European Union will not use Edison-style bulbs by 2009.
53. Using CFLs helps protect environment.
54. If you get an older bulb for 1 Euro (欧元), the CFL bulb will cost you 8 Euros.
55. CFLs have been widely used instead of the older bulbs for several years.
