16．Doug Nordquist was a high jumper，who trained for years to make the Olympic team．In the 1984Olympics，he jumped his best ever-seven feet，six inches．But he didn't win a gold medal．He came in fifth place．
"I came away from there feeling like a winner，"says Doug Nordquist．
Doug thinks being a winner doesn't mean coming in first．It means doing your personal best．Sometimes he earned gold and silver medals．Sometimes he got fifth place．As long as he has done his best，Doug feels good about himself．Though he wants to take home a gold，silver，or bronze medal，he knows he's always a winner，no matter what happens．
Doug thinks about his other job-teaching high school band-the same way．He believes that"if you put yourself into your work，you can accomplish whatever you want．"One of his students explains，"Mr．Nordquist says，‘think higher and you can reach it．'"
His students have won many awards in Los Angeles and Orange County band competitions．But he reminds them"it's not the awards that are as important as all the things we do to get there．"The students are winners because they've learned to play their instruments and work with one another the best that they can．

9．I traveled to Yellowstone National Park with my parents and uncles last week．We had a great fun there．My parents went to the park mainly because they longed see the beautiful natural scenery there．My uncle is a photographer，which was drawn to the national park by wildlife there．He wanted to take photographs of Yellowstone animals in its natural habitat．So how did I travel there？I traveled there because I like exploring and take adventures．It's said that you may come cross a bear there when you travel in the park．But we don't encounter one．To be frankly，it was a bit disappointing to me．

4．Much meaning can be conveyed，clearly，with our eyes，so it is often said that eyes can speak．
Do you have such kind of experience？In a bus you may look at a stranger，but not too long．And if he is sensing that he is being stared at，he may feel uncomfortable．
The same in daily life．If you are looked at for more than necessary，you will look at yourself up and down，to see if there is anything wrong with you．If nothing goes wrong，you will feel angry toward others'stare at you that way．Eyes do speak，right？
Looking too long at someone may seem to be rude and aggressive．But things are different when it comes to stare at the opposite sex．If a man glances at a woman for more than 10seconds and refuses to move his gaze，his intentions are obvious，that is，he wishes to attract her attention，to make her understand that he is admiring her．
However，the normal eye contact for two people engaged in conversation is that the speaker will only look at the listener from time to time，in order to make sure that the listener does pay attention to what the former is speaking，to tell him that he is attentive．
If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking，as if he tries to dominate you，you will feel uncomfortable．A poor liar usually exposes himself by looking too long at the victim，since he believes in the false idea that to look straight in the eye is a sign of honest communication．Quite the contrary．
In fact，continuous eye contact is confined to lovers only，who will enjoy looking at each other tenderly for a long time，to show affection that words cannot express．
Evidently，eye contact should be done according to the relationship between two people and the specific situation．
33．Which of the following behaviors is proper according to the passage？D
A．To the opposite sex，stare at him or her．
B．To a stranger，avoid looking at him or her．
C．In a conversation，look at the listener all the time．
D．Make eye contact depending on the relationship and different situations．
34．If two persons exchange eye contact gently for long，what is probably their relationship？B
A．Boss and employee．B．Lovers．C．Teacher and student．D．Strangers
35．What's the best title of the passage？C
A．Don't stare at others
B．Body language is important
C．Eyes can speak
D．Eye contact benefits you．

11．The emotional bond a child secures with its parents has a greater impact on its education than previously thought，a report suggests．The Sutton Trust study says children's early attachment to parents has far-reaching consequences for their ability to speak，learn and think．Parents who are insecure themselves find it harder to provide children with security，it says．And the report calls for more help so parents can develop such crucial bonds．The study focuses on the application of the theory of attachment-a key theory in child development and psychology．This says the degree to which children are secure and resilient as they grow up depends on their own early experiences with their mothers and fathers and how they have bonded．
The report from the Sutton Trust education charity，entitled Baby Bonds，makes the case that it has an important impact on children's future educational chances as well as their emotional well-being．It is based on an analysis of more than 100studies on the issue，including home visits and assessments and observations of children in a range of countries．The trust argues that although psychologists have been aware of attachment theory，it has not been seen by policy makers as a key influence on educational attainment．And it asks them to take this into account．The report says when babies and toddlers do not form these strong parental bonds-known as secure attachment-they are more likely to exhibit poor language and poor behavior before they reach school．
And it cites international studies which suggest this continues late into life，with insecure children more likely to leave school early or duck out of employment or training．They are also more likely to suffer from aggression，defiance and hyperactivity later in life．
The Sutton Trust says its analysis of the research suggests that about 40% of children in the UK lack a secure attachment with their parents．Lead author Sophie Moullin said that when her team looked at large scale representative studies in a number of countries they all found，from their observations，that between 38% and 42% of children suffered from poor attachment in all the different study locations．She added："Secure attachment really helps children with emotional and social development and at school it really helps them to manage their behavior．Shouting，looking out of the window，hitting each other…These are the things that teachers will tell you that are stopping children from learning．It's really only as we understand more about these behavior problems that we have decided that a lot of it goes back to this early bonding with parents．"
Research director at the trust Conor Ryan said："Better bonding between parents and babies could lead to more social mobility，as there is such a clear link to education，behavior and future employment．The educational divide emerges early in life，with a 19-month school readiness gap between the most and least advantaged children by the age of five．
This report clearly identifies the fundamental role secure attachment could have in narrowing that school readiness gap and improving children's life chances．"More support from health visitors，children's centers together with local authorities in helping parents improve how they bond with young children could play a role in narrowing the education gap．"
