第二节阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)

[1] Mums and dads care for their kids from the minute they were born. It's a parent's job to love and guide kids,and most parents will do this as long as they live,even when the “kids” have grown up and have children of their own. That means you have many years ahead to share with your mum and dad.

[2] But how will you get along with your parents? Here are some ways you can stay close,get along,and build a strong relationship with them.

[3] Spend time together. It might be easy to be physically in the same place with your mum or dad. But how much time do you spend just enjoying each other's company (陪伴) ?

Instead of playing a computer game or watching TV,maybe ask your mum and dad to play with you. Go outside together,try a board game,or read a book out aloud. If your parents are divorced,make the most of the time you spend together. In between,talk on the phone and e-mail each other to stay in touch.

[4] Many kids say they’d like their parents to help them when they’re upset. But your mum or dad might not know that you’re having a problem. Tell your parents if you’re sad or struggling with something. If you don't usually do this,it can feel funny at first. Try it and you’ll be glad you did.

[5] Be kind. Little things might mean a lot to your mum or dad. You can brighten a parent's day with a hug,a card,or a joke. It's also lovely when a kid offers to help fold the laundry (洗好的衣物) or clean up his or her room without being asked. And if you try not to fight with your brothers or sisters,your parents might be also excited.

Jimmy is an automotive mechanic,but he lost his job a few months ago. He has a good heart,but always feared applying for a new job.

One day,he gathered up all his strength and decided to attend a job interview. His appointment was at 10 am and it was already 8:30. While waiting for a bus to the office where he was supposed to be interviewed,he saw an elderly man wildly kicking the tyre of his car. Obviously there was something wrong with the car. Jimmy immediately went up to lend him a hand. When Jimmy finished working on the car,the old man asked him how much he should pay for the service. Jimmy said there was no need to pay him;he just helped someone in need,and he had to rush for an interview. Then the old man said, “Well,I could take you to the office for your interview. It's the least 1 could do Please,I insist." Jimmy agreed.

Upon arrival,Jimmy found a long line of applicants waiting to be interviewed. Jimmy still had some grease on him after the car repair,but he did not have much time to wash it off or have a change of shirt. One by one,the applicants left the interviewer's office with disappointed looks on their faces. Finally his name was called. The interviewer was sitting on a large chair facing the office window. Rocking the chair back and forth,he asked ,“Do you really need to be interviewed?” Jimmy's heart sank. “With the way I look now,how could I possibly pass this interview?” he thought to himself.

Then the interviewer turned the chair and to Jimmy's surprise,it was the old man he helped earlier in the morning. It turned out he was the General Manager of the company.

“Sorry,I had to keep you waiting,but I was pretty sure I made the right decision to have you as part of our workforce before you even stepped into this office. I just know you’d be a trustworthy worker. Congratulations!” Jimmy sat down and they shared a cup of well-deserved coffee as he landed himself a new job.

Sometimes people add to what they say even when they don't talk. Gestures are the “ silent language” of every culture. We point a finger or move another part of the body to show what we want to say. It is important to know the body language of every country or we may be misunderstood.

In the US,people greet each other with a handshake in a formal introduction. The handshake must be firm. If the handshake is weak,it is a sign of “weakness or unfriendliness”. Friends may place a hand on the other's arm or shoulder. Some people,usually women,greet a friend with a hug.

Space is important to Americans. When two people talk to each other,they usually stand about two and a half feet away and at an angle (角度) ,so they are not facing each other directly. Americans get uncomfortable when a person stands too close. They will move back to have their space. If Americans touch another person by accident,they say ,“Pardon me” or “Excuse me”. Americans like to look at the other person in the eyes when they are talking. If you don't do so,it means you are bored,hiding something,or are not interested. But when you stare at someone,it is not polite.

For Americans,thumbs-up means yes,very good,or well done. Thumbs-down means the opposite. To call a waiter,raise one hand to head level or above. To show you want the check,make a movement with your hands as if you are signing a piece of paper. It is all right to point at things but not at people with the hand and index finger (食指) . Americans shake their index finger at children when they scold them and pat them on the head when they admire them.

Learning a culture's body language is sometimes confusing (令人困惑的) .If you don't know what to do,the safest thing to do is to smile.
