Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
As a young boy,I knew what people said was not always what they meant or were feeling.And I knew it was possible to get others to do what I wanted if I read their real feelings and responded suitably to their needs.At the age of nineteen,I sold sponge rubber door-to-door after school and quickly worked out how to tell if someone was likely to buy from me.When I knocked on a door,if someone told me to go away but their hands were open and they showed their palms,I knew it was safe to continue with my show because they weren’t angry or threatening although they may have a cold attitude.If someone told me to go away in a soft voice but used a pointed finger or closed hand,I knew it was time to leave.
As a teenager,my ability to read people earned me enough money to buy my first house.Selling gave me the chance to meet people and study them closely and to know whether they would buy or not,simply by watching their body language.
I joined the life insurance (保险) business at the age of twenty-six.And I went on to break several sales records for my company,becoming the youngest person to sell over a million dollars’ worth of business in my first year.This achievement allowed me to become a member of the well-known Million Dollar Round Table (MDRT).I was lucky that the skills I’d learnt in watching body language could be used in this new area,and were directly related to the success I could have in any business closely connected with people.

When we talk more broadly of body language,rather than good postures,we can actually see the effects it has on relationships right throughout the animal kingdom.In particular,body language is used to express power through expansive (扩张的) postures.
You might know about Amy Cuddy’s incredible insights on how posture changes our thoughts.Cuddy and her team study body language,particularly what they call “high-power” and “low-power” poses.
“High-power” poses refer to the act of taking a posture of confidence,which can help you feel more self-confident,even after only two minutes.Typical high-power poses are about opening up.You stretch and expand your body to take up as much space as possible.For example,bosses are doing high-power poses when they lean back in their chairs,put their hands behind their heads,and kick their feet up onto their desks.Meanwhile,people take low-power positions when they’re feeling helpless or defeated.They close up,arms around themselves,taking up the smallest space.
Some even more recent studies took this even further: A study by researchers showed that body language symbolising power can actually affect our decision-making,unintentionally.The researchers measured the desire for risk of participants in either expansive,powerful poses or constricted (收缩的) poses.Those in the powerful poses not only felt more powerful and in control,but were 45% more likely to take risky actions.
“This isn’t about what your body language is communicating to others; it’s about what your body language is communicating to you.Your body language is changing your mind,which changes your behaviour,which changes your outcomes,” said Cuddy.
So if you want to take advantage of the benefits of these poses to live a healthier and happier life,where should you start
(　　)5.Which is probably a low-power pose according to the text
A.Sitting with hands crossed in the lap.
B.Arms raised in a “V” above the head.
C.Standing with your legs open.
D.Sitting with your arms spreading out on the chair.
(　　)6.What can we say about people in the expansive poses
A.They are hesitant.
B.They are very shy.
C.They feel out of control.
D.They feel more confident.
(　　)7.What is the text mainly about
A.The posture of confidence.
B.Cuddy’s research on behaviour.
C.The surprising power of body language.
D.The research about decision-making.
(　　)8.What might be talked about in the following paragraph
A.How to correct bad habits.
B.How to improve your body language.
C.How posture affects your health.
D.Why good posture matters for employees.
Ⅱ.七选五
During an interview,your main job is to sell yourself as a confident and capable asset.But how can you do that One thing you should do is think about your body language.1.　　
·Give a good handshake but not too good.We’ve all heard that a handshake should be firm because one that is too soft can make you appear weak or shy.2.　 　　 You should avoid that.Instead,conduct a proper one to make both the interviewers and you comfortable.
·Watch your posture and maintain eye contact.3.　　　 Nothing conveys disinterest and lack of confidence like a slouch (懒散的人).And remember that although it may feel uncomfortable at times,eye contact is also key—especially while the other person is talking.
·4.　　　 If you keep putting your hands on or near your face,it can send the message that you’re not comfortable with what you’re saying.When you’re not gesturing,put your hands in your lap.And don’t forget to smile—a smile not only conveys warmth,receptivity and positivity,but it also helps reduce stress.
·Listen actively and try using the mirroring technique.Active listening is a key part of any interview.5.　　　 Mirroring or copying someone’s body language is also a powerful way to convey connection.Face your interviewers directly,sit in the same position and try to match the pace and volume of their talk.
A.Don’t gesture but smile.
B.But there is such a thing as too firm.
C.And here are some common red flags to avoid.
D.Keep your hands away from your face and smile.
E.This may seem obvious but it bears repeating: Sit up straight.
F.By doing so,you indicate to the interviewers that they have your full attention.
G.Here are a few ways to use body language to show your advantage in your job interview.
Ⅲ.语法填空
Different cultures communicate in very different ways.With regard to non-verbal communication,in Asia,people use 1.　　 　　 (variety) of body language,facial expressions,and silence 2.　　 　　 (express) meaning.For instance,in Japan,it might be viewed as rude to directly object to a statement.However,in the West,speaking directly is not only normal but also valued.People place 3.　　　　 (much) focus on the actual words being used than on non-verbal cues (暗示).
Additionally,in China,it is common for someone to smile when they don’t understand something.This could be 4.　　　　 (confuse) for a Westerner who might think this means the listener understands and agrees with 5.　　 　　 is being said.
Another communicative feature,6.　　 　　 is viewed differently across the world,is interruption.In many parts of the West,interrupting another person when they are speaking is considered to be rude.However,in some African countries,it is viewed as a means to join and
7.　　　　 (active) participate in the conversation.
Even within 8.　　　　 same continent,manners can vary from culture to culture.For example,in the UK,it is very common to say “please” and “thank you” to someone 9.　　　　 (serve) you in a shop or restaurant,but in Spain,these terms 10.　　　　 (hear) much less often in everyday circumstances and are reserved more for requesting or receiving a kindness. 素养测练(七)　UNIT 4　Part 1
