7.A handshake is one of the most common ways to greet others,but US President Donald Trump's unusual method has been put under the microscope lately.
Much like an armwrestler in a match,the recently-elected leader has a habit of yanking (猛拉) people's hands toward himself during handshakes.And while a typical handshake is only brief,the one between him and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on Feb 10 lasted a full 19 seconds.
Simply having a strong hand is not the explanation here.According to Darren Stanton,a body language expert from the UK,while handshakes are usually an exchange of kindness,Trump uses his as a way to show power and control,regardless of how uncomfortable it makes people."It is as if to say,‘Hey,I'm in charge,don't mess with me,'"Stanton told The Independent.
Apart from Trump's"yank-shake",there are other ways people display power with their hands.At business talks or political meetings,for example,some people may rotate (旋转) their wrists during handshakes so that their hand ends up on top instead of underneath.Some may squeeze so hard that it leaves the other person's hand in pain.
According to Stanton,by pulling people into his personal space,Trump is also testing whether they are willing to cooperate with him."For example,if someone was resistant to being yanked towards him and stood their ground,he would know that he has work to do with them before he got what he wanted,"Stanton told Express.
This is probably why on Feb 13when Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau visited the White House,all eyes were on how he was going to handle Trump's handshake.Fortunately,Trudeau managed to avoid the embarrassment by grabbing Trump's shoulder to stop himself being pulled in.Afterward,some Twitter users wrote that this proved Trudeau's strong leadership,with one even calling the moment"one of Canada's greatest victories".
Vice magazine summed up the exchange between the two leaders as:"…no regular handshake.This was the first shot in a bloodless war."

25.According to Darren Stanton,Trump uses his"yank-shake"toA.
a.show his kindness
b.gain control
c.remind people of his status
d.see if people are cooperative
e.get people to lower their guard
A.bcdB.abcC.aceD.bde
26.The phrase"stood their ground"in Paragraph 5 probably meansB.
A.going ahead
B.standing still
C.turning around
D.pulling out
27.According to the text,the way Trudeau reacted to Trump's handshakeB.
A.annoyed Trump
B.displayed his power
C.was considered rude
D.was likely to start a war
28.What can be concluded from the text?C
A.Some people spin their wrists during handshakes to show extra respect.
B.Handshakes are the most preferable way for political leaders to greet others.
C.The way someone shakes another person's hand can have different meanings.
D.The longer two people shake their hands,the better their relationship is.

17.Each morning Grandpa was up early sitting at the kitchen table,reading his book.His grandson wanted to be just like him and tried to copy him in every way he could.
One day the grandson asked,"Grandpa,I try to read the book just like you,but I don't understand it,and I forget what I understand as soon as I close the book.What good does reading the book do?"
The grandpa quietly turned from putting coal in the stove and replied,"Take this coal basket down to the river and bring me back a basket of water."

The grandpa said,"I don't want a bucket of water; I want a basket of water.You're just not trying hard enough."
The boy again dipped the basket into the river and ran hard,but when he reached his grandpa the basket was empty again.Out of breath,he said,"Grandpa,it's useless!"
"So,you think it is useless?"the grandpa said,"Look at the basket."
The boy looked at the basket and for the first time he realized that the basket was different.It had been transformed from a dirty old coal basket and was now clean.

    If you want to join the ranks of gorillas next September,you only have to pay£60 to register.This includes the gorilla suit,which you can keep.If you take part,not only will you have been helping the gorillas and people who depend on their habitat,you'll never have to buy another set of fancy clothes again!

12.A report by the US'Open Syllabus Project found that the most read books among US college students in the past year were books like The Republic by ancient Greek philosopher Plato and The Clash of Civilizations by US political scientist Samuel Huntington.And according to reports by Chinese college libraries,the most popular books among Chinese students are novels like Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils by Chinese author Jin Yong.
This is considered by many to be one of the reasons why Chinese students are sometimes not as good at critical thinking or observing global perspectives (视野) as US students-they read too many bestseller novels.
"By reading texts in history/social studies,science,and other subjects,students build a foundation of knowledge in these fields that will also give them the background to be better readers in all areas,"Robert Pondiscio,vice president of the Core Knowledge Foundation in the US told Th.e Washington Post.
According to China Youth.Daily,there are usually five stages when it comes to reading,with popular novels at the bottom.More advanced readers normally go on to read classic fictional literature,history and philosophy,or books with critical ideas.
We spend hours,days or even weeks on a book,so it's only natural that we want to learn something useful in return for our efforts.Many see reading as an investment (投资) in themselves.But this practical view of literature and the thought that history and philosophy books are superior to novels are not agreed by everyone.After all,what they offer are two different kinds of satisfaction.While the former provides knowledge,the latter brings emotional experiences."Fiction and poetry are medicines,"UK writer Jeanette Winterson once wrote."What they heal is the rupture (裂痕) reality makes on the imagination."

25.What are the most popular books among Chinese students?B
A.Philosophy books.
B.Bestseller novels.
C.History books.
D.Books with critical ideas.
26.What do Chinese students lack compared with US students?D
A.Careful observation.
B.Vast stores of knowledge.
C.Practical use of knowledge.
D.Critical thinking.
27.Which of the following does Jeanette Winterson probably agree with?D
A.People read books to learn something useful.
B.Imagination is not so important as knowledge.
C.History and philosophy books are superior to novels.
D.Novels can bring necessary emotional experiences.
