10.It's natural to greet friends with a smile and a wave.(31)G But what happens if your face and body send mixed messages?Would someone be more likely to believe the look on your face or the way you hold your body?
Scientists have recently tackled these questions.They found that when a person is looking at your face,she might not believe what she sees of your body language matches the feeling that your face shows.
(32)BPreviously,they had found that the tone of a person's voice can be more important than the words that are spoken.For example,most people tend not to believe a person who says in a flat voice,"I'm so excited."
When it came to emotions conveyed by facial expressions and body language,most scientists suspected that the face was more important.To test if this was true,psychologists from the Netherlands and Boston showed people a number of pictures of isolated faces and isolated bodies(with faces blurred out) that showed anger or fear.(33)FAn angry face had low eyebrows and tight lips.A scared face had high eyebrow and a slightly open mouth.(34)EA scared body had arms forward and shoulders square,as if ready to defend.
These results told the researchers that mixed signals can confuse people.Even when people pay attention to the face,body language subtly influences which emotion they read.(35)D And if you want to be understood,it helps to avoid sending mixed messages.
A.Scientists feel new to study the mixed message that confuses people.
B.Studying such mixed messages is nothing new for scientists.
C.Body language can sometimes be misunderstood in different culture backgrounds.
D.So,your body language is important for telling people how you feel.
E.An angry body had arms back and shoulders at an angle,as if ready to fight.
F.They also showed pictures in which angry or scared faces were paired with angry or scared bodies.
G.When you do this,your face and body work together to show your friends that you're happy to see them.

分析 本文是一篇选句填空阅读,文中主要讲了身体语言相关的信息和科学研究.你的肢体语言对于告诉人们你的感受是很重要的,如果你想被理解,那么避免发送混合信息是很有帮助的.

解答 GBFED
31.G联系下文题.根据后句But what happens if your face and body send mixed messages?可知如果你的脸和身体发出混合的信息会怎么样?G项:When you do this,your face and body work together to show your friends that you're happy to see them.当你做这些时,你的脸和身体会一起表达,来告诉你的朋友你很高兴见到他们,符合文意.故选G.
32.B归纳总结题.根据下文Previously,they had found that the tone of a person's voice can be more important than the words that are spoken.For example,most people tend not to believe a person who says in a flat voice,"I'm so excited."可知以前,他们发现一个人的语调比说的话更重要.例如,大多数人往往不相信一个人会以一个平缓的声音说:"我太兴奋了."B项:Studying such mixed messages is nothing new for scientists.研究这些混合的信息,对于科学家来说,没有什么新发现.符合文意.故选B.
33.F联系上文题.根据上句To test if this was true,psychologists from the Netherlands and Boston showed people a number of pictures of isolated faces and isolated bodies(with faces blurred out) that showed anger or fear.可知为了检验这是否属实,来自荷兰和波士顿的心理学家向人们展示了一些显示出愤怒或恐惧的孤立面孔和孤立身体(脸上模糊了)的照片.这里想说他们展示了一些照片,生气和惊恐的脸和生气和惊恐的身体是相匹配的.故选F.
34.E联系下文题.根据下句A scared body had arms forward and shoulders square,as if ready to defend.可知这里想说生气的身体,胳膊和肩膀成一定角度,好像准备打架,故选E.

18.A handsome man can earn a fifth more than an average-looking colleague but a beautiful woman is not paid a penny more than her average-looking colleague,new research has shown.
The study by senior economists(经济学家)found that being good-looking meant male workers could earn 22percent more than average-looking colleagues.Researchers said good looks did not give women a similar advantage.
Andrew Leigh,a former economics professor at the Australian National University who co-authored the report,said:"Beauty can be a double-edged sword for women."
"Some people still believe good looks and intelligence are incompatible(矛盾的)in women,so a good-looking women can't be that productive,but it doesn't affect-men's pay."
He said that although he believed good-looking women may also earn more,the research did not support his theory.
The research found that handsome men in all jobs,from manual labour(手工劳动)to highly-paid professional careers,can earn 22percent more than their colleagues doing the same work.
Men with below-average looks face a battle in the office,with ugliness reducing a man's earnings by 26percent compared to an average-looking worker.
Former male model,lan Mitchell,28,who has a first class degree in history from Edinburgh University and now works for a cosmetics company,told the Sunday Times:'It gives you confidence,and I suspect people tend to warm to you more quickly."
The study,named Unpacking the Beauty Premium,was the largest exercise of its kind and repeated a survey from 1984to see if the beauty premium(美貌价)had changed.
Leigh said the research showed people in the workplace were"lookist(以貌取人的)"and he hoped the findings would encourage employers to remove their prejudice.
32.What has the research found?B

B.Handsome men have an advantage in their jobs

16.Canada is a very large country.It is the second largest country in the world.By contrast it has a very small population.There are only about 29 million people there.Most Canadians are of British or French origin,and French is an official language of Canada as well as English.About 45% of the people are of British origin,that is,they or their parents or grandparents,etc,come from Britain.Nearly 30%  are of French origin.Most of the French-Canadians live in the province of Quebec.
  Over the years,people have come to live in Canada from many countries in the world.They are from most European countries and also from China,besides other Asian countries.
  However,Canada was not an empty country when the Europeans began to arrive.Canadian Indians lived along the coast,by the rivers and lakes and in forests.Today there are only about 350,000 Indians in the whole country,with their own languages.In the far north live the Inuit.There are only 27,000 Canadian-Inuit.Their life is hard in such a difficult climate.

20.No one knows exactly how many disabled people there are in the world,but estimates suggest the figure is over 450million.The number of disabled people in India alone is probably more than double the total population of Canada.
In the United Kingdom,about one in ten people have some disability.Disability is not just something that happens to other people:as we get older,many of us will become less mobile,hard of hearing or have falling eyesight.
Disablement can take many forms and occur at any time of life.Some people are born with disabilities.Many others become disabled as they get older.There are many progressive disabling diseases.The longer time goes on,the worse they become.Some people are disabled in accidents.Many others may have a period of disability in the form of a mental illness.All are affected by people's attitude towards them.
Disabled people face many physical barriers.Next time you go shopping or to work or to visit friends,imagine how you would manage if you could not get up steps,or onto buses and trains.How would you cope if you could not see where you were going or could not hear the traffic?But there are other barriers:prejudice(偏见)can be even harder to break down and ignorance(无知)inevitably represents by far the greatest barrier of all.It is almost impossible for the able-bodied to fully appreciate what the severely disabled go through,so it is important to draw attention to these barriers and show that it is the individual person and their ability,not their disability,which counts.
21.The key word in Paragraph 4isD.
A.disability      B.ignorance      C.prejudice       D.barriers
22.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?D
A.Even the able-bodied may lose some of their body functions when they get older.
B.There are about 10percent disabled persons in the UK.
C.The whole society should pay due attention to the barriers faced by the disabled people.
D.There no longer exists prejudice against the disabled.
23.The last word of the passage"counts"most probably means"".A
A.is most important                          
B.is considered
C.is included                                     
D.is numbered
24.It can be concluded from the passage thatC.
A.we should try our best to prevent disablement
B.both physical and mental barriers are hard to break down
C.we must take a proper attitude towards the disabled
D.the able-bodied people will never fully understand the disabled.
