18、00 a year.” $6,000 was 37 money in 1960. It would enable Alex to get a nice 38 instead of the storage room, a second-hand car and more. Besides, he could write on the side. As the dollars were dancing in Alexs head, something cleared his senses. He had dreamed of being a(n) 39 full time. “Thanks but
19、 no,” Alex said 40 , “Im going to stick it out and write.” After Alex got off the phone, he pulled out everything he had: two cans of vegetables and 18 cents.

But when he got on board Mr Price found his seats for the flight to Ireland were not even next to each other they were either side of another passengers seat. And on his return journey the situation
25、was even more ridiculous, with his places two rows apart.

34、ubleBLiu Enchengs experience of travelling to New Zealand on a working holiday visa was a life changer: “Its about having a chance to understand yourself better, to find out what you really want.”As soon as New Zealands government announced its plan to offer 1,000 working holiday visas to Chinese re
35、sidents a year in 2010, Liu, then 27, applied. Back then, Liu had worked as a reporter for the Kunming Daily for five years, after graduating from a tourism management major at Central South University of Forestry and Technology.Rural tasteLiu arrived in New Zealand in December and was impressed by
36、the summer Christmas. “Many fruits are ready to harvest, so its easy to find a job in the orchards before getting there. Since New Zealand is an agricultural country, working in rural areas helps you understand the country better,” says Liu.The most important thing, according to Liu, is to live inde
37、pendently. He needed to balance work and travel, because on a working holiday visa youre only allowed to stay in a job for a maximum of three months. So when Liu had nearly finished a job, it was time to think about what to do next.Various experienceDifferent to Lius experience, Wu Fei tried many di
38、fferent jobs. Wu was one of the first people to get a working holiday visa in 2010. After graduating from a physics major at Fudan University, he travelled to New Zealand in May. He worked as an assistant for a hunter, a chef in a restaurant, a cleaner in a university, even as an actor in a prison.W
39、hat impressed him most was the lifestyle of the local people. “They dont pursue happiness by shopping or going to parties. Instead, they like going outdoors with their families. This simple happiness helps them find inner peace, but its hard to do that in a big city in China,” says Wu._But it was ha
40、rd for Liu to communicate with the locals at the beginning, as they spoke with strong accents and there were big cultural differences.“I tried my best to overcome these problems to get adapted to the local culture. When you decide to go abroad, you must immerse yourself in an unfamiliar environment
41、and solve problems on your own. I think thats what makes such a trip special.” Says Liu.51. Which of the following about Liu Encheng before he went to New Zealand isTRUE?A. He graduated from Central North University of Forestry and Technology.B. He worked for the Kunming Daily.C. He was 32 then.D. H
42、e was the manager of a travel agency.52. Liu Encheng needed to balance work and travel because _.A. no one helped himB. the visa allowed him to stay in a job for only 3 monthsC. he had trouble in getting a jobD. it was his first overseas trip53. What impressed Wu Fei most?A. The summer Christmas. B.
43、 The lifestyle of the local people. C. The communication with the locals. D. The landscape of New Zealand.54. Whats the authors attitude to those who travelled to New Zealand on a working holiday visa? A. Concerned. B. Against. C. Objective. D. Careless.55. Which of the following can be put in the b
44、lank as a subtitle?A. Be adapted to local culture B. Communicate in English C. Solve problems on the trip D. Enjoy the landscape CThere is no single sure sign of lying, but rather numerous nonverbal and verbal signs that may “leak” from the liar.When it comes to nonverbal signs of lying, what escape
45、s most people is the flashing of a microexpression. Microexpressions are super-quick expressions that cross over peoples faces against their will and without their awareness. These provide a true look at their honest feelings about a matter. While some arent looking for such clues, others detect the
46、m without knowing what just happened. If your “gut” is telling you something isnt quite right with a person, you very well may have detected a microexpression on that persons face that doesnt match what he or she is saying.Another nonverbal sign of lying is a forced smile, which generally involves o
47、nly the muscles of the mouth. A sign of deception is a smile or other gesture that contradicts what is being said. When we normally communicate, both speech and body language happen naturally, without specific thought. When we lie, however, we must decide which body gestures best match the lie, or r
48、ather best represent the telling of the truth. All of this thought leads to mis-matching words and body language.Someone whos lying may feel attacked and get in a defensive position. He or she might turn away from the questioner, cross his or her arms or even move farther away. Liars may noticeably
49、move restlessly, especially during a pause in the conversation.There are other nonverbal hints that many people think are telltale signs of lying but arent, such as increased blinking, scratching the face or nose, or placing a hand over the mouth while speaking. These signs are only good indicators
50、when they represent a change in the persons normal behavior. Maybe the guy whos blinking a lot has an eyelash in his eye, and the girl covering her mouth is just self-conscious; however, if the person doesnt blink often during the first three statements and blinks like crazy and scratches his or her
51、 neck while giving the fourth statement, then that statement needs closer examination. Now youve learnt a lot about nonverbal signs.56. Which of the following statements about microexpression is NOT true?A. They are very quick and last for a short time.B. They can be used by liars in communication.C
52、. They always express peoples thoughts and feelings D. They can help us decide whether somebody is lying.57. Which of the following will most likely be considered a sign of lying?A. Scratching the nose or face. B. Blinking constantly while talking.C. Nodding “yes” during a denial. D. Talking with ar
53、ms crossed.58. The underlined word “telltale” probably means _.A. revealing B. acceptable C. complex D. puzzling59. What is the best title for this article?A. Different signs of lying in communicationB. Steps to catch a big liar in verbal communication.C. Signs of lying in body language D. Tips on e
54、xposing liars in our life60. What would the article probably talk about in the following paragraph?A. The verbal signs of lying in communication.B. The proper reaction to liars and lies in our life.C. The steps to help everyone stop lying.D. The writers personal experience with liars.D For many peop
55、le, the ideal way to do homework involves listening to music. But some parents disagree, saying: “Switch off the music and concentrate!”Well, if thats the case with your parents, you might now be able to convince them that you have science on your side.A new study, conducted by British company Mindl
56、ab International, has found that listening to music at work increases accuracy and speed, the Telegraph reported.The company gave 26 participants a series of different tasks for five days in a row, including spell checking, equation (方程式) solving, and mathematical word problems. The participants com
57、pleted these tasks while listening to one of four music genres (类型), or no music at all. The results showed that while music was playing, 88 percent of participants produced their most accurate test results and 81 percent completed their fastest work.“The message is that music is a very powerful man
58、agement tool to increase not only the efficiency of workforce but also your emotional state.” said David Lewis, chairman of Mindlab International.However, not all genres match all homework. For mathematics, or other subjects involving numbers or attention to detail, you should listen to classical mu
59、sic, the study found. Previous studies had said that listening to Mozart makes a person smarter, and now that conclusion has gained more support. And if you need to finish a paper very soon, say, in an hour, the study said that listening to some pop music might be helpful.In the study, pop music ena
60、bled participants to complete their tasks 58 percent faster than when listening to no music at all. If youre reviewing your English writing, pop music is also the best choice, as it is the best genre for spell checking. It cut mistakes by 14 percent, compared to listening to no music.And to check yo
61、ur homework, you should probably listen to some dance music, as this genre resulted in the highest overall accuracy and fastest performance across a range of tasks in the study. In other words, it fits all subjects.61. According to David Lewis, listening to music while working _.A. improves efficien
62、cy and mental stateB. increases peoples creativityC. makes people more emotionalD. distracts peoples attention62. Which of the following helps you recite English words faster and more correctly, according to the article?A. Listening to Mozart. B. Listening to pop music.C. Listening to rock music. D.

98、 you ever heard the old saying, “Never judge a book by its cover”? This is a good rule to follow when trying to judge the intelligence of others. Some people have minds that shine only in certain situations. A young man with an unusual gift in creative writing may find himself speechless in the pres
99、ence of a pretty girl. He searches awkwardly for words and does not talk smoothly. But dont make the mistake of thinking him stupid. With a pen and paper he can express himself very well. Other people may fool you into overvaluing their intelligence by putting up a good appearance. A student who lis
100、tens attentively and takes notes in class is bound to make a favorable impression on his teachers. But when it comes to exams, he may score near the bottom of the class. The main idea is you cant judge someone by their appearances. The only way to determine a persons intelligence is to get to know h
101、im. Then you can observe how he reacts to different situations. The more situations you observe, the more accurate your judgment is likely to be. So take your time. Dont judge the book by its cover.Rec 2W: Good morning. MIC House Agency.M: Good morning. I am ringing about the problems Ive been havin
