Body language is the quiet, secret and most powerful language of all! It speaks    1.   than words. According to specialists, our bodies send out more    2.   than we realize. In fact, non-verbal communication (非言语交际) takes up about 50% of what we really    3. , and body language is  particularly    4.   when we attempt to communicate across cultures. Indeed, what is called body language is so much a part of us that it’s actually often unnoticed. And misunderstandings occur as a result of it.   5. , different societies treat the    6.  between people differently. Northern Europeans usually do not like having    7.   contact (接触) even with friends, and certainly not with strangers. People from Latin American countries,    8.  , touch each other quite a lot. Therefore, it’s possible that in conversation, it may look like a Latino is    9.  a Norwegian all over the room. The Latino, trying to express friendship, will keep moving    10.  . The Norwegian, very probably seeing this as pushiness, will keep    11.   -- which the Latino will in return regard as    12.  .

Clearly, a great deal is going on when people    13.  . And only a part of it is in the words themselves. And when parties (当事人) are from different cultures, there’s a strong possibility of    14.  . But whatever the situation, the best    15.  is to obey the Golden Rule: treat others as you would like to be treated.

One dark evening, Oliver was going home, when suddenly Toby and Sikes stopped him. They came to a nice and great house surrounded by a wall. Toby climbed very quickly to the top of the house. Before Oliver had time to look round, Sikes had caught him under the arms; and in no time Oliver and Toby were lying on the grass on the other side. Sikes followed them directly. And they stole cautiously towards the house.

  When Oliver realized that the other two boys wanted to rob the house, he was full of fear. Cold sweat came upon his face, and he sank upon his knees. On seeing this Sikes drew his pistol(手枪) from his pocket and said angrily, "Get up, or I'll shoot you."

  "Oh! For god's sake, let me go!" cried Oliver, "Do not make me steal." Toby placed his hand upon Oliver's mouth, and dragged him to the house.

“Take this lantern,” said Sikes, looking into the house. “You see the stairs before you?” Oliver, more dead than alive, answered, "Yes." Sikes briefly warned him to take notice that he was within shot all the way. If he hesitated, he would fall dead at once. "It's done in a minute," whispered Sikes, "Do your work and I’ll let you go."

阅读下面短文,并按照题目要求用英语回答问题.

Almost everybody in America will spend a part of his or her life behind a shopping cart(购物手推车). They will, in a lifetime, push the chrome-plated contraptions many miles. But few will know—or even think to ask—who it was that invented them.

Sylvan N. Goldman invented the shopping cart in 1937. At that time he was in the supermarket business. Every day he would see shoppers lugging(吃力地携带) groceries around in baskets they had to carry.

One day Goldman suddenly had the idea of putting baskets on wheels. The wheeled baskets would make shopping much easier for his customers, and would help to attract more business.

On June 4, 1937, Goldman’s first carts were ready for use in his market. He was terribly excited on the morning of that day as customers began arriving. He couldn’t wait to see them using his invention.

But Goldman was disappointed. Most shoppers gave the carts a long look, but hardly anybody would give them a try.

After a while, Goldman decided to ask customers why they weren’t using his carts. “Don’t you think this arm is strong enough to carry a shopping basket?” one shopper replied.

But Goldman wasn’t beaten yet. He knew his carts would be a great success if only he could persuade people to give them a try. To this end, Goldman hired a group of people to push carts around his market and pretend they were shopping! Seeing this, the real customers gradually began copying the phony(假冒的) customers.

As Goldman had hoped, the carts were soon attracting larger and larger numbers of customers to his market. But not only did more people come—those who came bought more. With larger, easier-to-handle baskets, customers unconsciously bought a greater number of items than before.

Today’s shopping carts are five times larger than Goldman’s original model. Perhaps that’s one reason Americans today spend more than five times as much money on food each year as they did before 1937—before the coming of the shopping cart.

1.The underlined words “chrome-plate contraptions” in Paragraph 1 refer to ______.

(No more than 3 words)

2.What was the purpose of Goldman’s invention? (No more than 10 words)

3.Why was Goldman disappointed at first? (No more than 10 words)

4.Why did Goldman hire people to push carts around his market? (No more than 10 words)

5.What do you think of Goldman? Please give your reasons. (No more than 20 words)
