2、vice. “Dad,” he said, “I love Lily very much, but I have very smelly feet, so Im afraid that she will not put up with them.” His father said, “All you have to do is to wash your feet as often as possible, and you should always wear socks, even when you go to bed.” Well, it seemed a workable solution
3、, the young man thought.The young woman turned to her mother. “Mom,” she said, “My morning breath is so bad that Im afraid my new husband will not want to live in the same room with me. I love him. I cant live without him.” Her mother said, “In the morning, get straight out of bed when you wake up,
4、and head for the bathroom and brush your teeth. Dont say any word before you brush your teeth.” The young woman followed her mothers advice.They were finally married in a wonderful ceremony. Not forgetting the advice each had received, they carefully spent every day. The husband wore his socks every
5、 night and the wife kept her mornings silent; they did quite well until about a month later. Just before dawn, the husband woke only to find that one of his socks was gone! Thinking of the terrible result, he felt frightened at once. He jumped up and began to search the bed for his sock in a hurry.
6、Of course, this made the wife wake. Without thinking, the wife asked, “What on earth are you doing?” The husband stopped in surprise, and then he cried, “Oh, no! You must have swallowed(吞) my sock!”1.What troubled the young man before he got married?A.His feet had an unpleasant smell. B.He was unpre
7、pared for the big day.C.He was too poor to marry the girl. D.His habit was too bad to be known.2.The underlined word “bridegroom” in the first paragraph means .A.a man who has a few big troubles B.a man who hates to wash his feetC.a man who believes his families D.a man who will get married soon3.Wh

9、s wife often dreamed of eating thingsC.he wanted to have his wife buy new socks D.he found his wifes breath very smellyBCold weather has a great effect on how our minds and our bodies work. Maybe that is why there are so many expressions that use the word “cold”. For centuries, the bodys blood has b
10、een linked closely with the emotions. People who show no human emotions or feelings, for example, are said to be cold-blooded. Cold-blooded people act in merciless ways. They may do cruel things to others, and not by accident. For example, a newspaper says the police are searching for a cold-blooded
11、 killer. The killer murdered someone, not in self-defense. He seemed to kill with no emotion.Cold can affect other parts of the body, the feet, for example. Heavy socks can warm your feet if your feet are really cold. But there is an expressionto get cold feetthat has nothing to do with cold or your
12、 feet. The expression means being afraid to do something you had decided to do. For example, you agree to be president of an organization. But then you learn that all the other officers have given up the position. All the work of the organization will be your responsibility. You are likely to get co
13、ld feet about being president when you understand the situation.Cold can also affect your shoulder. You give someone the cold shoulder when you refuse to speak to them. You treat them in a distant, cold way. The expression probably comes from the physical act of turning your back toward someone, ins
14、tead of speaking to him face-to-face. You may give a cold shoulder to a friend who has not kept a promise he made to you. Or, to someone who has lied about you to others.A cold fish is not a fish. It is a person. But it is a person who is unfriendly, unemotional and shows no love or warmth. A cold f
15、ish does not offer much of himself to anyone.Out in the cold is an expression often heard. It means not getting something that everybody else got. A person might say that everybody but him got a pay raise. He was left out in the cold. And it is not a pleasant place to be.5.The text is intended to te

17、ng to others?A.Cold-blooded. B.To get cold feet. C.A cold shoulder. D.A cold fish.7.If a teacher gives all the boys except Tom a pen as a prize, you can say Tom.A.is given the cold shoulder B.is punished by a cold fishC.is left out in the cold D.has got cold feetCWhat is the best way to catch someon
18、e who is telling a lie?For a long time, the traditional method of catching liars was to watch their body language. Many peoplefrom parents to police officers depend on this method. But does a persons body tell us the truth?According to a new study, it is not the case. Researchers in the UK recently
19、found that talking seems to be the best way to smoke out a liar. Their study took place at an airport. The researchers asked volunteers to pretend they were real passengers and then lie to airport security officers. Some of the officers used conversation methods to question them, while other officer
20、s depend on their body language. The officers using the talking method were 20 times more likely to catch the liarsLike many methods, this talking technique has a name. It is called Controlled Cognitive Engagement or CCE for short. Here are four ways of catching a liar.Use open-ended questions.These
21、 are the opposite of “Yes”and“No”question. Open-ended questions force the person to continue the story of their lies until they are caught in their own web of lies.Surprise them.Ask questions they may not think you are going to ask. Ask questions that are surprising or off-topic.This will make it ha
22、rder for them to keep lying.Look for small details that do not make sense.Ask them details in their stories and look for facts that seem to disagree with each other. But do not let them know you know. Just let them dig themselves deeper into a hole.Watch for changes in confidence and speaking styles
23、.Liars will often change their speaking styles when they are questioned. For example, when they feel in control they may be very talkative. But if they feel they are losing control, they may not talk much at all.8.What is the best title of this passage?A.How to Catch a Liar B.Airport Security Improv
24、edC.CCE Method Never Fails D.Lie with Body Language9.Which of the following methods is most likely to help you catch a liar?A.Ask the person if he is telling the truth. B.Surprise the person by raising your voice.C.Focus on the persons body language. D.Notice changes in the persons confidence.10.Why
25、 should you ask open-ended questions in order to catch a liar?A.Because they are easy to answer. B.Because they are harder to lie about.C.Because they are off the topic. D.Because they change their talking style.11.Who does the word “them” refer to in the fourth paragraph?A.Security officers.B.Real
26、passengers.C.Study volunteers. D.English researchers.DAmericans can travel almost anywhere they choose.

35、communicate. When someone makes a mistake, whether its a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer, be kind about it. If its a small mistake, you may not need to say anything.
