Passage 5

Flynn Garry, a l5- year-old boy, is known as “the country's hottest chef(廚師)”

Garry started cooking four years ago. Before he tried cooking at home, he read some cookbooks and surfed the Internet. He thought he could do it. Garry said, "Every time I try it, I hope to get better and better, I just love cooking.”

Garry said he could cook, also partly thanks to his mum. His mum didn't really like cooking, and when she did cook, he didn’t like her food, so he decided to try something simple.

Within a year, he has produced most of the dishes in the cookbook and was ready for a bigger plan. “I wanted to create my own dishes and I started cooking for more people than just my family too. The young man had a strong passion(熱情) for cooking. He even turned his bedroom into a test kitchen. Every day he practised his cooking skills there after school. Soon he could really create more complicated(復(fù)雜的) dishes of his own. At that moment, the real" I want to be a chef" dream came into his mind.

Now Garry and his mother set up Eureka, a super club business that organizes monthly events inside his home. Garry, who has also cooked in top-class restaurants around the US, says he's not doing it for the money, but because he loves cooking. "At the point in your life where you stop caring if you're going to be famous or do well, your dream will come to you. I did something with my heart and people can see it. I hope to keep getting better and better. ”

Passage 2

Did you know that about 55% of communication is not using languages, so in fact, our bodies are actually saying more than our words. I find that the key to a successful conversation in any language is to speak to people not only in their spoken language but also with the body language they know best.

Britain is considered as a"non-touch"country, so personal space is very important. In a formal (正式的)situation, they would often greet each other by shaking hands. Informally, British friends would greet with a hug but hardly ever would greet with a kiss on the cheek(面頰)!

But in the south of Italy, and in many different parts of the world, people usually greet with two kisses on the cheek, use a lot of hand signs and often touch each other. In other words, little personal space is left between people when communicating. Sometimes you may find yourself not knowing what hand signs to use when expressing (表達(dá)) yourself. However, what you do know for sure is that using body language would make yourself get more chances to be loved by Italians and fully immerse yourself in their culture. To communicate very well, here are some body language tips in Italy.

※ Different signs: Try to use your head, arms and hands more.

※ Facial expressions: Always smile at people! Smiling is the most powerful way to show friendliness.

※ Eye contact(交流): Eyes are the windows to the heart.

※ Personal space: Keeping the distance is considered as being unfriendly.

1.In a formal situation, the British people usually greet each other with_________.

A.a handshake B.a polite bow C.a kiss on the cheek D.a warm hug

2.The writer uses Britain and Italy as examples to show________

A.people all over the world greet in the same way

B.Italians are more friendly than the British people

C.keeping personal space is important in any country

D.people in different countries use different body languages

3.The underlined part"fully immerse yourself" probably means “________”.

A.feel amazed B.enter deeply

C.satisfy yourself D.learn by yourself

4.Which is the best title of the passage?

A.What body language means B.When in Rome, do as Romans do

C.How to start a friendly talk D.Body language makes a better communication
