有些形容词本身就可作副词,但和它加了ly后的副词含义不同,一般而言,本身作副词,往往表示具体的意义,而ly结尾的副词表示较为抽象的意思。这句句子的意思是“‘张大你的嘴巴’,这是一句当病人得感冒时,医生询问的普遍被认可的用语。”很明显,前半句表示具体的含义,后半句表示抽象的“广泛地,普遍地”。
I will never forget the year I was about twelve years old.My mother told us that we would not be 26 Christmas gifts because there was not enough money.I felt sad and thought, "What would I say when the other kids asked what I’d 27 ?" Just when I started to 28 that there would not be a Christmas that year, three women 29 at our house with gifts for all of us.For me they brought a doll.I felt such a sense of 30 that I would no longer have to be embarrassed when I returned to school.I wasn’t 31 .Somebody had thought 32 of me to bring me a gift.
Years later, when I stood in the kitchen of my new house, thinking how I wanted to make my 33 Christmas there special and memorable, I 34 remembered the women’s visit.I decided that I wanted to create that same feeling of 35 for as many children as I could possibly reach.
So I 36 a plan and gathered forty people from my company to help.We gathered about 125 orphans (孤儿) at the Christmas party.For every child, we wrapped colorful packages filled with toys, clothes, and school supplies, 37 with a child’s name.We wanted all of them to know they were 38.Before I called out their names and handed them their gifts, I 39 them that they couldn’t open their presents 40 every child had come forward.Finally the 41 they had been waiting for came as I called out, "One, two, three.Open your presents!" As the children opened their packages, their faces beamed and their bright smiles 42 up the room.The 43 in the room was obvious, and 44 wasn’t just about toys.It was a feeling — the feeling I knew 45 that Christmas so long ago when the women came to visit.I wasn’t forgotten.Somebody thought of me.I matter.

In a few years,you might be able to speak Chinese,Korean,Japanese,French,and English-and all at the same time. This sounds incredible,but Alex Waibel,a computer science professor at US's Car-negie Mellon University (CMU) and Germany's University of Karlsruhe,announced last week that it may soon be reality. He and his team have invented software and hardware that could make it far easier for people who speak different languages to understand each other.
One application,called Lecture Translation,can easily translate a speech from one language into an-other. Current translation technologies typically limit speakers to certain topics or a limited vocabulary. Us-ers also have to be trained how to use the programme.
Another machine can send translations of a speech to different listeners depending on what languagethey speak. “It is like having a simultaneous translator right next to you but without disturbing the person next to you,”Waibel said
Prefer to read? So- called Translation Glasses transcribe(转录) the translations on a tiny liquid-crystal display(LCD) screen.
Then there's the Muscle Translator. Electrodes capture the electrical signals from facial muscle movements made naturally when a person is mouthing words. The signals are then translated into speech.The electrodes could be replaced with wireless chips implanted in a person's face,according to research-ers.
During a demonstration held last Thursday in CMU's Pittsburgh campus,a Chinese student named Sang Jun had 11 tiny electrodes attached to the muscles of his cheeks,neck and throat. Then he mouthed-without speaking aloud- a few words in Mandarin(普通话) to the audience. A few seconds later,the phrase was displayed on a computer screen and spoken out by the computer in English and Spanish: “Let me introduce our new prototype.”
This particular instrument,when fully developed,might allow anyone to speak in any number of lan-guages or,as Waibel put it,“to switch your mouth to a foreign language”. “The idea behind the universi-ty's prototypes is to create'good enough' bridges for cross- cultural exchanges that are becoming more common in the world,”Waibel said.
With spontaneous(自发的) translators,foreign drivers in Germany could listen to traffic warnings on the radio; tourists in China could read all the signs and talk with local people;leaders of different coun-tries could have secret talks without any interpreters there.

As soon as you meet, or even see, a person, you form an impression of him based on his posture, gesture and facial expressions. This is why it is important to make a good first impression on the person who will be interviewing you. Within the first 60 seconds of meeting you, the interviewer will have formed an impression about what type of person you are and what kind of employee you would become, and 55% of this will be based only on your body language. Here are some tips to make you that impression a good one.
First of all, relax. Think positive thoughts and you are more likely to come across as a positive, confident person during the interview. Dress smartly, as your appearance is one of the first things an interviewer will notice you. Stand up straight, and walk in with your shoulders back and your head up. Try to avoid slowing down as you walk into the room because this suggests fear and uncertainty. Shake hands with the interviewer firmly. You should have a positive handshake and a warm smile. Open your coat or jacket as you sit down shows that you, too, are open.
Posture is important. You should be sitting well back in your seat. Sit up straight and lean forward slightly, but not too much. Sitting at too much of an angel expresses discomfort and distrust. Two of the most common defensive(防卫的) signals are crossing your arms and legs, so try to avoid them.
Another important issue is eye contact. Looking someone in the eye shows confidence in yourself and trust in the other person. However, don’t overdo it, as too much eye contact or starring will make the other person uncomfortable. Use more eye contact when listening than when talking, and when you look away, look down. Looking up at the ceiling will make you seem bored and rude.
