O
20、f course, this is not surprising. Without the nose, We could not breathe or smell. It is the part of the face that gives a person special character. Cyrano de Bergerac said that a large nose showed a great mancourageous, manly, and wise.A famous woman poet wished that she had two noses to smell a ro
21、se! Blaise Pascal made an interesting remark about Cleopatras nose. If it had been shorter, he said, it would have changed the whole face of the world!Mans nose has had an important role in his imagination. Man has referred to the nose in many ways to express his emotions. Expressions dealing with t
22、he nose refer to humans weakness, anger, pride, jealousy and revenge（报复）.In English there are a number of phrases about the nose. For example, to hold up ones nose expresses a basic human feelingpride. People can hold up their noses at people, things, and places.The phrase, to be led around by the n
23、ose, shows mans weakness. A person who is led around by the nose lets other people control him. On the other hand, a person who follows his nose lets his instinct（本能）guide him.There are a number of others. However, it should be as plain as the nose on your face that the nose is more than an organ fo
24、r breathing and smelling.46、The passage is about _.A、an organ, with which people can breathe and smellB、the nose, which gives different and useful expressionsC、the nose giving a person special characterD、the interesting remarks about the nose made by some people47、From the passage we know _.A、“Cleop

27、ofessor Ray Birdwhistell suggested the most famous theory， the study of body movement. He believes that physical appearance is often culturally programmed. In other words， we learn our looks we are not born with them. A baby has generally informed face features. A baby according to Birdwhistell， lea
28、rns where to set the eyebrows by looking at those around family and friends. This helps explain why people of some areas of the United States look so much alike. New Englanders or Southerners have certain common face features that cannot be explained by genetics (遗传学). The exact shape of the mouth i
29、s not set at birth， it is learned after. In fact， the final mouth shape is not formed until well after new teeth are set. For many， this can be well into grown-ups. A husband and wife together for a long time often come to look somewhat alike. We learn our looks from those around us. This is perhaps
30、 why in a single country there are areas where people smile more than those in other areas. In the United States，for example，the South is the part of the country where the people smile most frequently. In New England they smile less，and in the western part of New York States still less. Many Souther
31、ners find cities such as New York cold and unfriendly，partly because people on Madison Avenue smile less than people on Peachtree Street in Atlanta，Georgia. People in largely populated areas also smile and greet each other in public less than people in small towns do.51.Ray Birdwhistell believes tha

There were alsocows, pigs, and other livestock (家畜). But ther
35、e were very few machines. Most of the workwas done by the entire farm family with the help of a hired man. Sometimes extra labourers（劳工） were needed in busy seasons. Horses provided 79 percent of the power used, human labour 15 percent, and machines only 6 percent. Today all that has changed. On man

40、ectrical signals，which are in turn converted(转变)into sound messages.Called lightwave communication the new system was used successfully in an experiment in Chicago in 1977. During the experiment two glass fibres were able to carry 672 conversations at the same time. The lightwave cable, containing 1
41、44 glass fibres, has the capacity(容量)to carry 50，000 conversations at the same time. The lightwave communication system has two important advantages.
