It takes less than six seconds to leave a first impression．It is said that we ought not to judge a book by its cover, but come on, isn't it the color, the design, the layout, and the title that draws us to pick up a book we've never heard of before? Notice what your assumptions are about a person when you are first introduced to her or him．

Something that most of us don't take notice is how we stand or walk．Let's say you are going for a job interview．Within seconds you have already said a lot about yourself by the way you walk．The majority of us walk around every day without paying any attention to what we are saying even though we are from the clothes you wear not saying a word．There is a lot that can be said about body language to the gestures you make.

I took notice of this topic recently as I recalled something about changing my posture to improve my level of confidence. I was about to venture，on a new project, which would take me out of my comfort zone．My inside gremlins（愛搗亂的小精靈）were having a field day with me uttering all kinds of reasons why I couldn't do a good job with this new opportunity. I put my shoulders back, held my head high, and took a walk．Soon thereafter, I felt so much better. I approached the project with new possibility．Wow, what a difference！Try it!

The ability to capture your audience when you walk into a room is sure to start you off on the right foot when going on an interview．Non-verbal （非語言的）signals have five times the impact of verbal signals．So you can count on losing your audience when you walk in with head down, dragging your feet regardless how much you try to change it．

68．According to the author, when we go for a job interview; we        .

    A．shouldn't pay much attention to the way we walk

    B．shouldn't walk with our head high up

    C．should pay enough attention to our body language and gestures

    D．should pay attention to the interviewers

69．The author approached his project with new possibility after______．

    A．his gremlins stopped talking

    B．he got rid of all his negative thoughts

    C．he walked out of his comfort zone

    D．he changed his posture to improve his confidence

70．The author probably believes that________.

    A．non-verbal signals are more important than verbal signals

    B．non-verbal signals are not so easy to catch

    C．we mainly rely on verbal signals during an interview

    D．We shouldn't judge a person by his non-verbal signals

71．What is mainly talked about in the text?

    A．How to prepare for a job interview．

    B．The way we walk says a lot about us．

    C．How to read a person from the way he walks．

    D．How to improve our health by walking．

If you've been joining in chat room conversations, or trading e-mail with Web pals, you have become one of the millions who write in a peculiarly short form of English.?

And you've got a sense of humor about short forms like SOHF(=sense of humor failure) to describe Internet newcomers who don't understand you.

Across the globe, every night teenagers and their elders are “talking” online—many of them are talking at the same time.?

It's fast: try talking to six people at once. It's brief: three or four words per exchange. It takes wit, concentration, and quick fingers.?

And it requires tremendous linguistic economy. There's neither time nor space for explanations. Why consume precious key-strokes telling six friends you have to leave for a moment to take care of your little brother when BRB(=be right back) will do? Want to enter a conversation? Just type PMFJI(=pardon me for jumping in).  Interested in whom you're talking to? Type A/S/L, the nearly universal request to know your pal's age, sex and location. You may get 15/M/NY as a response from your pal.?

If something makes you laugh, say you're OTF(=on the floor),or LOL(=laughing out loud),or combine the two into ROTFL(=rolling on the floor laughing).?

And when it's time to get back to work or go to bed, you type GTG(=got to go) or TTYL(talk to you later).?

People want to write as fast as possible, and they want to get their ideas across as quickly as they can. Capital letters are left in the dust, except when expressing emotion, as it takes more time to hold down the “shift” key and capitals. Punctuation is going, too.?

“It hurts me more than you”, and “This is for your own good” —these are the statements my mother used to make years ago when I had to learn Latin, clean my room, stay home and do homework.

That was before we entered the permissive period in education in which we decided it was all right not to push our children to achieve their best in school. The schools and the educators made it easy for us. They taught that it was all right to be parents who take a let-alone policy. We stopped making our children do homework. We gave them calculators, turned on the television, left the teaching to the teachers and went on vacation.

Now teachers, faced with children who have been developing at their own pace for the past 15 years, are realizing we’ve made a terrible mistake. One such teacher is Sharon Clomps who says of her students—“so passive” —and wonders what has happened. Nothing is demanded of them, she believes. Television, says Clomps, contributes to children’s passivity. “We’re talking about a generation of kids who’ vet never been hurt or hungry. They have learned somebody will always do it for them, instead of saying ‘go and look it up’, you tell them the answer. It takes greater energy to say no to a kid.”

Yes, it does. It takes energy and it takes work. It’s time for parents to end their vacation and come back to work. It’ s time to take the car away, to turn the TV off, to tell them it hurts you more than them but it’ s for their own good. It’s s time to start telling them no again.

Children are becoming more inactive in study because _______.

A. they watch TV too often   B. they have done too much homework

C. they have to fulfill too many duties  D. teachers are too strict with them

We learn from the passage that the author’s mother used to lay emphasis on _______.

A. learning Latin    B. discipline

C. natural development    D. education at school

By “permissive period in education” (L.1, Para.2) the author means a time _______.

A. when children are allowed to do what they wish to

B. when everything can be taught at school

C. when every child can be educated

D. when children are permitted to receive education

The main idea of the passage is that _______.

A. parents should leave their children alone

B. kids should have more activities at school

C. it’s time to be more strict with our kids

D. parents should always set a good example to their kids

科目：高中英語 來源：2010-2011學(xué)年云南省昆明市高三上學(xué)期第五次月考英語卷 題型：閱讀理解

A Concussion（腦震蕩） happens when the brain is shaken, often in a car crash or a fall or a strike on; the head in sports．Concussions can be mild, but doctors may order a CT scan to look for a more serious injury．But a recent study warned that more children than necessary are being exposed（使遭受） to radiation this way．

A national team led by two doctors at the University of California, Davis, studied hospital records from thousands of children with head injuries. They found that in many cases, the risk of developing cancer from the radiation outweighed the risk of a serious brain injury.

The study found that one in five children over age two had a low risk of serious injury but received CT scans anyway. The same was true of almost one in four children under two years of age.

The researchers have developed rules to predict if a head injury is serious enough for a scan. For children under two, doctors are advised against it if there is:

·Normal mental activity.

·No swelling in the back of the head.

·No feeling of a broken bone in the skull. (頭骨)

·And no loss of consciousness for more than five seconds.

Doctors should also consider how the child was injured and whether the parents say the child is acting normally.

For patients from two to eighteen, the guidelines are similar —— except there should be no l vomiting（嘔吐）and no severe headache.

Earlier this year, the British Journal of Sports Medicine published new guidelines for concussions in children and teens. International experts said they should not return to sports or school until fully recovered. The brain also needs a "cognitive rest," they say, by restricting activities like video games, texting and watching TV.

It often take longer than adults to recover from a concussion than adults. The experts say individual progress and not a set time period should always guide a decision to return to play.

1.The researchers at the -University of California found that children who received CT scans

         A．were likely to suffer brain injuries    

         B．wouldn't have normal mental activity

         C．would lose consciousness now and then 

         D．were likely to develop canter

2.How many aspects should doctors consider when deciding whether a child under two needs a CT scan?       

         A．Four．        B．Six．  C．Seven．     D．Nine．

3.What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?

         A．Texting is harmful to patients’ recovery from concussions．

         B．Patients with brain injuries can play many sports．

         C．Adults need a longer time than teens to recover from concussions．

         D．It takes at least a year for individuals with brain injuries to fully recover．

4.The author of the passage mainly___．

         A．describes the risks of brain injuries

         B．suggests CT scans are of practical use

         C．tells us about the risks of brain injury tests

         D．a(chǎn)rgues against new guidelines for concussions
