A
A Lesson Plan from Life Planning Education：A Youth Development Program
Purpose: To learn about body language and how to use body language
Materials: cards; container
Time: 25－35 minutes
Planning Notes：
Write the words below on cards:
angry, disappointed, shy, afraid, sad, happy, nervous, excited, bored
Place the cards in the container so volunteers can draw them out one at a time.
Steps：
First make sure that all volunteers know what body language means (expressing feelings through body movement and facial expressions). Go over the following instructions：
I’ll need at least 9 volunteers to play a game similar to charades (猜词游戏).
The first volunteer will draw a card with a feeling written on it and act out the feeling without using words.
The rest of the group will guess what feeling is being communicated. Once someone correctly guesses the feeling, the next person in line will draw a card and act out what is written on it, again without words.
The game will continue until there are no more cards or until time is up.
At last, end the activity using the discussion points below：
Can you give examples of when someone’s body language communicated a different message from what he/she actually said
Sometimes one person is offended(冒犯) by another’s body language. How can you work to keep that from happening Answers may include: be honest and direct; match your non-verbal messages to your verbal ones; be aware of cultural attitudes toward different kinds of body language.
( ) 1. To whom is the text most likely written
A. Teachers. B. Students. C. Volunteers. D. Young parents.
( ) 2. What do we know about the game
A. One volunteer draws all cards.
B. Volunteers guess feelings one by one.
C. Each volunteer is given 25-35 minutes.
D. Feelings on cards are shown nonverbally.
( ) 3. What are you advised to do to avoid offensive body language
A. Learn about different cultures.
B. Behave humourously.
C. Act indirectly.
D. Just let it be.

When I was a child, my grandmother often said interpersonal communication mattered. She backed that up with her own behaviour, and she invested her time and energy in interacting with people. When she walked down the street, she spoke to everyone, whether an elderly person or a child, speaking whether English or Spanish.
However, as she aged, she noticed that most people had no time for communication that’s longer than a 160-character text message, and had much less time to develop real friendships that last decades. In fact, people are barely speaking to one another nowadays. As much as I hate to admit it, I have noticed it, too.
My grandmother opened my mind to having a pen pal on the other side of the world. It all started in 2013 when I was at the University of Southern California. I met with Kerstin Zilm, a German radio personality who wanted to interview me about being a student struggling financially. I didn’t know much about German culture or the German audience who would listen to the show, but I agreed to do so. I had internalized (使内化) my grandmother’s concept and I felt this was another way of communication and that speaking about my story was better than keeping it to myself. You never knew who could learn from your life experiences.
After the story aired, a woman named Renate reached out to Kerstin, inquiring how she could find me and help me financially with college. I was grateful, but my pride didn’t allow me to accept the money. However, I didn’t let the opening halt. Encouraged by Kerstin, I emailed Renate back, thanking her for her kindness. This was the beginning of a beautiful intercontinental (洲际的) friendship. From then on, Renate and I often emailed each other. And whenever I was in trouble, she was always there. She sent me virtual hugs at the moments when I needed them most. Though I have never met her in person, she is one of the most important people in my life.

We all know that a powerful body posture may help people feel more confident. But will it work on students A new study by researchers from the Martin Luther University (MLU) of Halle-Wittenberg is carried out to find the connection. And it does provide evidence that simple body postures can help students feel better in school.
Some body postures don’t need further explanation. When a man sits with his arms crossed behind his head, resting his feet on a table, he is probably feeling very self-confident. Arms folded in front of one’s body and a bent back, on the other hand, typically mean anxiety and insecurity. “Body language is not just about expressing feelings, it can also have a great influence on how a person feels,” explains Robert K rner from the Institute of Psychology at MLU.
Research on powerful body postures tries to find out the extent to which a certain body posture might influence a person’s feelings and self-confidence. Up to now, most of the research has been about studying the effects on adults. K rner’s study is the first to examine children. “Children from the age of five are able to recognize and understand the body postures of others,” the professor adds.
The researchers carried out their experiment with 108 fourth graders. One group was to assume two open postures for one minute each. The other group posed with their arms folded in front of them and their heads down. The children then finished a series of psychological tests. The children who had assumed an open posture showed better moods and reported higher self-confidence than the children in the other group. The effects were particularly manifest when it came to questions concerning school. “Here, powerful body postures had the strongest effect on the children’s self-confidence,” says K rner.
“Teachers could try and see whether this method helps their students.” However, K rner states that expectations about this technique should be mild. The effects were only short-term. Serious problems or mental illness must be treated by trained professionals.
( ) 8. Which of the following shows a person may feel uneasy according to Paragraph 2
A. One rests his head on the table.
B. One seldom moves his feet in a conversation.
C. One folds his arms before his body with a bent back.
D. One crosses his arms behind his head and lies on the sofa.
( ) 9. What is the new research on powerful body postures mainly about
A. What the most popular postures are.
B. How children’s postures differ from adults’.
C. Why body language can express a person’s feelings.
D. What effects postures have on students’ feelings.
( ) 10. What does the underlined word “manifest” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Strange. B. Obvious. C. Unclear. D. Manageable.
( ) 11. What is K rner’s attitude to teachers’ applying the findings in teaching
A. Worried. B. Doubtful. C. Objective. D. Supportive.
D
One of the most difficult things in the world is to change people’s minds. There are many reasons why false beliefs and bad ideas continue to live on, one of them is that people continue to talk about them.
Silence is death for any idea. An idea that is never spoken or written down dies with the person who conceived it. Ideas can only be remembered when they are repeated. They can only be believed when they are repeated.
I have already pointed out that people repeat ideas to signal they are part of the same social group. But here’s a crucial point most people miss.
People also repeat bad ideas when they complain about them. Before you can criticise an idea, you have to reference that idea. You end up repeating the ideas you’re hoping people will forget — but, of course, people can’t forget them because you keep talking about them. The more you repeat a bad idea, the more likely people are to believe it.
Let’s call this phenomenon Clear’s Law of Recurrence: The number of people who believe an idea is directly proportional (成比例的) to the number of times it has been repeated during the last year — even if the idea is false.
Each time you attack a bad idea, you are feeding the very monster you are trying to destroy. As one Twitter employee wrote, “Every time you retweet (转发) or quote tweet someone you’re angry with, it helps them. Hell for the ideas you condemn is silence. Have the discipline to give it to them.”
Your time is better spent championing good ideas than tearing down bad ones. Don’t waste time explaining why bad ideas are bad. You are simply fanning the flame of ignorance and stupidity.
The best thing that can happen to a bad idea is that it is forgotten. The best thing that can happen to a good idea is that it is shared. It makes me think of Tyler Cowen’s quote, “Spend as little time as possible talking about how other people are wrong.”
Feed the good ideas and let bad ideas die of starvation.
( ) 12. What does the underlined word “them” in the first paragraph refer to
A. Minds. B. Reasons. C. Beliefs. D. Ideas.
( ) 13. What is the result of our criticising a wrong idea according to the author
A. We will have our wish fulfilled.
B. We won’t make any difference.
C. We’ll kill two birds with one stone.
D. We’ll accomplish the very opposite.
( ) 14. What does Clear’s Law of Recurrence mainly reveal
A. The power of repetition.
B. The lack of correct ideas.
C. Many people’s foolishness.
D. The popularity of false beliefs.
( ) 15. What does the author advise us to do in the face of false beliefs
A. Try to ignore them.
B. Attack them seriously.
C. Complain about them.
D. Share them on social media.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Almost everybody lies to some degree. 16 However, nobody wants to be caught. Of course there’s a huge gap that separates little white lies from the whoppers(弥天大谎), but learning how to tell if someone is lying is a skill that’ll always come in handy. Here’s what to watch for.
17
There are many signs someone could be lying. For example, one may make too little or too much eye contact, sweat or flush in their face, and have difficulty controlling the volume and tone of their voice. 18 Hand gestures that normally accompany talking may occur with less frequency. Arm and leg movements may also be fewer. It seems that liars would become more concentrated on telling the lie, so they get quieter in their body.
Ask questions — quickly.
If you suspect you’re being lied, try this technique, which experts say can trip up a liar. Try asking questions quickly — one after the other. “The first lie is easy,” explains Kang Lee, professor at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education’s Department of Applied Psychology and Human Development. “ 19 When you continue to ask questions and put people on the spot, it gets harder to maintain the lie.”
Check for emotional “leaks”.
Micro-expressions often show a person’s real thoughts. If you were to watch people very closely on videotape, you would see them showing their true emotion just before they show the fake expression designed to cover up the lie. But these extremely brief facial movements, some only lasting a quarter of a second, aren’t easy to spot.
20 And intentional liars tend to add other expressions, like smiling, to hide a lie.
So here’s hoping that the next time someone throws a lie your way, you’ll know just how to catch it.
A. Listen to the voices. B. Get better at body language. C. The follow-up lie is more difficult. D. Interestingly, people who are lying often become more still. E. Even professionals trained in lie detection can’t always tell them apart. F. In some cultures, it’s considered inappropriate to maintain eye contact. G. Lies occur between friends, teachers and students, husbands and wives.

But since becoming a cat sitter my mental health has 31 . Having my own 32 gives me the power to plan my day. I can recharge when I need to and can go out and meet people when I want. The cats have 33 helped.
Now I have stayed in 25 houses, 34 30 cats and saved more than 10,000 pounds that would have gone on 35 . One day I want to save up for a flat so I can have a cat of my own.

Emma had two exams that day — physics and history. She really hated physics. It was her worst subject. Alice looked at her, and then looked away quickly. Emma thought Alice looked pleased, because she didn’t have a problem with physics, she didn’t have a problem with anything…Miss Perfect!
“I thought we were friends, but she hasn’t spoken to me for two weeks now. She promised to help me go over for the physics exam too, but then she’s forgotten all my calls and texts. And when I rang her house, her mum just told me she was busy.” Emma thought angrily. At that moment, Mr Read asked all the students into the exam room.
Emma couldn’t answer some physics questions. Suddenly she saw Alice sitting two rows in front of her. Emma couldn’t believe it! Alice was holding her phone on her knee under the table and reading from it. Is that how Alice always got such good grades She felt really angry at Alice, and thought about telling the teacher, but… “Stop writing,” said Mr Read and started to collect the exam papers. Oh no, Emma hadn’t answered two of the questions. She was going to fail again!
Emma wanted to talk to Alice at lunchtime, but she couldn’t find her anywhere. Emma went to the library to prepare for the history exam, which was her favourite. But she couldn’t concentrate. “Unfair! Alice was getting good grades by cheating all that time.” She thought about telling a teacher, but everyone would hate her if she did that. Just then, Mr Read walked past her table. “Mr Read…”
Emma was sitting behind Alice again in the history exam that afternoon. Mr Read wanted her to look at Alice and agreed if she saw that Alice was cheating in the exam.

【One possible version】
Dear Tony,
I am more than thrilled to have received your letter where you mention that you will come to my school as an exchange student next month and I would like to extend my warmest welcome to you.
As is known to us all, body language varies from country to country. When exchanging greetings, people in China will shake hands with each other to convey our kindness, while nodding and giving a big thumb are what we usually use when showing our agreement. However, some Chinese may think it is impolite to show their disagreement directly and thus they may frown or keep silent to imply their disapproval.
All in all, in China, people express the emotions in a reserved way and try to avoid too much body contact.
Look forward to your arrival.
Yours,
Li Hua

【One possible version】
She was working on the last question when she saw that Alice had her phone under the table. Emma nodded to Mr. Read. Mr. Read went to Alice quietly and picked up Alice’s phone. All was clear, and Mr. Read asked her to leave the classroom. Alice walked out crying. Everyone was staring at her and Emma felt really relaxed.
Emma was walking towards the school gate when she saw Alice waiting for her there. “Emma, please wait.” Alice said, “I’m sorry I haven’t answered any of your calls, but my dad’s been ill for two weeks and had a heart operation today. During exams I was reading texts from my mum to see how it was going. I have explained to Mr. Read and he asked me to take the exam again. I’m sorry I didn’t tell you what was happening.” Emma couldn’t help crying, either. “You should have told me this earlier. Let me know if you have difficulties. We are true friends.”
