阅读下面的短文并用英语回答问题，并将答案写在答题卷上标有题号的横线上。
Body language is one of the most powerful means of communication, often even more powerful than spoken language. People around the world show all kinds of feelings, wishes and attitudes that they might never speak aloud. It is possible to read others around us, even if they do not want us to catch their unspoken communication. Of course, body language can be misread, but many gestures and actions are common.
The most common facial expression is, of course, the smile—its function is to show happiness and put people at ease. It does not always mean that we are truly happy, however. Smiles around the world can be false, hiding other feelings like anger, fear or worry. There are unhappy smiles, such as when someone loses face and smiles to hide it. However, the general purpose of smiling is to show good feelings.
From the time we are babies, we show unhappiness or anger by frowning. In most places around the world, frowning and turning one’s back to someone shows anger. Making a fist and shaking it almost always means that someone is angry.
How about showing that I am bored? Looking away from people or yawning will, in most cases, make me appear to be uninterested. However, if I turn toward and look at someone or something, people from almost every culture will think that I am interested.
Being respectful to people is subjective, based on each culture, but in general it is probably not a good idea to give a hug to boss or teacher. In almost every culture, it is not usually good to stand too close to someone of a higher rank. Standing at a little distance with open hands will show that I am willing to listen.
With so many cultural differences between people, it is great to have some similarities in body language. We can often be wrong about each other, so it is an amazing thing that we understand each other as well as we do!
1.What is even more powerful than spoken language according to the passage?
____________________________________________________________________________
2.What is not good to do when you stay with someone of a higher rank?
_________________________________________________________________________
3.Among the body languages introduced in the article, which one do you find the most useful? Why?
_________________________________________________________________________________
The new science of spending comes to a surprising conclusion. How we use our money may __________ as much or more than how much we’ve got it.
Money spent on experiences, rather than material goods, brings along more happiness.
Imagine that you wake up tomorrow morning to discover $1 million under your bed. What would you do with that cash?
The money will probably make you think about one thing above all else—yourself. A large amount of research reveals that money __________ our selfish sides. We will __________ much on what that money can do for us alone. Perhaps you are imagining buying a faster car, or even a new house.
But studies show that __________ goods often fail to deliver lasting happiness. Fortunately, our ongoing research __________ many ways to get more happiness from every dollar you spend. Changing how you spend money can increase your happiness.
But making these __________ needs to challenge some of our ideas of spending. It’s hard not to view buying a house as a wise investment. But research shows it brings very little happiness. A study in the United States found that homeowners, on average, were no happier than renters.
So, working hard to save money for a house might not be such a good idea __________ it means spending less time with your families and friends. And dozens of studies show that people get more happiness from buying __________ than material things. Experimental purchase—such as trips, concerts and special meals—are more deeply connected to our sense of self.
And experiences come with one more advantage. They tend to bring us __________ to other people, but more often, material things are enjoyed __________. So social contacts are important to improve mental and physical health.
