Noticing the signals that people send out with their body language is a very useful social skill.1.Fortunately, with a little extra effort, you can learn to read body language, and with enough practice it'll become second nature.

2.The closer they are, the warmer they are thinking of you. The farther away that someone is, the less they actually care about the situation or person. If you move slightly closer to them, do they move slightly further away? That means they don't want your communication to be any more personal than it already is.3.And if they respond by getting even closer to you, they probably really like you or are very comfortable around/by you.

It is worth noting that personal space is culturally different; keep in mind that what is considered close in one country is far away in another.

Check their arms.4.Though some people just cross their arms as a habit, it may indicate that the person is slightly reserved, nervous or embarrassed about their appearance and trying to cover it, or just trying to hide something on their shirt. If their arms are crossed while their feet are wider apart, this is a position of toughness or authority. If someone rests their arms behind their neck or head, they are open to what is being discussed or just easy-going in general. If their hands are on their hips(雙手叉腰), they might be waiting, impatient or just tired.5.

A. If they don't move further away, then they are willing to listen and accept.

B. How to read body language needs to be learned.

C. Some of us can read it naturally and some of us can’t at all.

D. If their hands are closed, they may be angry, or nervous.

E. People with crossed arms are closing themselves to social influence.

F. Pay attention to how close someone is to you.

G. Some people tend not to move further away.

If you watch British television on Friday March 15,you might be surprised to see celebrities wearing funny red noses and joking around.But don't worry.They're not mad.It's all part of a biannual fund-raising event called Red Nose Day.

Organized by the charity Comic Relief,founded in 1985 by two British comedians,the aim of the event it is to raise money to fight poverty and injustice in the UK and Africa.Celebrities and public figures support the event by making appearances on comic TV shows broadcast by the BBC.This year,for example,UK Prime Minister David Cameron appeared in a music video by One Direction,which the band produced for the event.

But Britons don't just raise money for charitable causes on one day a year.They do it all year round.One way of doing so is-by shopping in charity shops.These small,inconspicuous shops sell clothes,books and household goods just like any other shop But there's one big difference—everthing sold in the shops is second-hand.

There are nearly 10,000 charity shops in the UK,according to the Charity Retail Association.Their business model is simple: Anybody who has things they don't want anymore can donate them to a charity shop,where they are checked for damage,cleaned and priced.Most items go back on sale at a small part of their original price and the money that is made by selling them is used for a charitable cause.

The idea of buying used clothes may sound off-putting,but for shoppers who have less spending money,such as the elderly or those in low-paying jobs,it has been a welcome option for years.Now,shopping at charity shops is also becoming popular with young people looking for alternative fashion."You can find very unique clothes for a very cheap price.It doesn't bother me that other people may have worn them.I simply wash them before I wear them,"said Anne Marie,a 19-year-old Internet user from the US,in a comment on a Yahoo forum.

So next time you spot a charity shop,why not go inside?Who knows,you might find a lovely dress for just a few pounds.Even better,you can enjoy wearing it in the knowledge that your money helped a good cause.

1.Why did Cameron appear in One Direction's music video?

A. To earn a living. B. To support the band.

C. To entertain the audience. D. To help raise money.

2.What do we learn from the passage about Comic Relief?

In many countries, schools have long summer holidays, with shorter holidays in between. However, a new report suggests shortening school holidays to stop children forgetting what they have learnt during the long summer break. Instead of three school terms, it says, there should be five eight-week terms. And there should be just four weeks off in the summer, with a two-week break between the other terms.

Sonia Montero has two children at primary school and works full-time. She supports the idea. “The kids,” she says, “have much longer holidays than me and I can’t afford to take several weeks off work, so I need someone to take care of them. But nobody wants the work in the summer months — they all have holidays of their own.”

Not surprisingly, some young people disagree. Student Jason Panos says “It’s a stupid idea. I would hate staying at school in the summer. It’s unfair, too. The people who suggest this had long school holidays when they were young, but now they want to stop us enjoying the summer. The kids in Spain and America have much longer holidays than here, but they don’t forget everything they’ve learnt in a few months.”

Nadia Salib agrees. “Sure,” she says, “the first week at school after the summer is never easy, but you soon get back into it. The real problem round here is that kids get bored after so many weeks out of school, and then some of them start causing trouble. But the answer is to give them something to do, not make everyone stay in school longer.”

1.Why is Sonia in support of shorter school holidays?

A. She doesn’t get any summer holidays in her job.

B. She is worried that her children will forget what they’ve learnt.

C. She can’t afford to pay someone to look after her children.

D. She can’t get anyone to look after her children in summer.

2.What does Jason say about long summer holidays?

A. They can help children forget about school.

B. Schools in other countries don’t have them.

C. These days many older people have them too.

D. They have little influence on children’s education.

3.What does Nadia say about young people on summer holidays?

A. They would like to spend more time at school.

B. Long holidays are very bad for their education.

C. They need something to do to enrich themselves.

D. Long holidays should be shortened to stop them causing trouble.

The House at Pooh Corner

by A. A. Milne

I bought a box set of four Winnie the Pooh books while on holiday when I was eight years old. I adored Pooh, Piglet, Tigger and Eeyore. They became very real to me and I credit them with starting a lifelong love of reading.

I still have the box set, and loved reading the stories to my children when they were small. Part of me secretly believes A. A. Milne’s wonderful characters are all alive and well and still having their adventures in the Hundred Acre Wood.

—Roberta Smith

Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights

by Charlotte and Emily Bront?

I can never separate Charlotte Bront?’s Jane Eyre and Emily Bront?’s Wuthering Heights when I think about books that have stayed with me. Both had a deep impact on me when I read them as a teenager.

They were the first classic books I read purely for pleasure, rather than because I had to for school.

I grew up in Yorkshire, not far from where the Bront?s lived, so part of me really understood that depressing landscape. That close geographical connection led to a lifelong interest in the authors as much as in the books themselves.

I wrote a high-school essay on the contrasts and similarities between Charlotte and Emily and their heroines. I’d be fascinated to read that essay now to see what conclusions I reached as a 17-year-old.

— Jane Lee

1.What can we infer about the Winnie the Pooh books?

A. They are very realistic.

B. They describe holiday stories.

C. They are intended for children.

D. They encourage people to have adventures.

2.What is one reason the writer likes Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights?

A. They were easy-to-find classic novels.

B. The stories helped the writer with her essay writing.

C. They were recommended by the teachers in her school.

D. The stories are set in an area that the writer knows well.

3.What’s the purpose of the text?

A. To introduce the books’ authors.

B. To promote some classical literature.

C. To comment on the books’ main characters.

D. To explain the effect of these books on the readers.

I had just moved to San Antonio, Texas. I worked for the tour bus service taking tourists on a short tour of the city’s historic places and would end up at the Alamo.

I was driving back from my last tour on a cool February day on my way back from the San Femando Catholic church with no one on my bus when I saw a man dressed in rags, thinking this person must be an actor or something walking around. I stopped and asked him, “Need a ride?” Without saying anything he just walked on broad and sat down in seat behind me.

“Where are you heading?” I asked him. He looked up into the mirror at me and replied. “I’ve got to get to the fort(要塞)and report to Colonel(上校)Travis that the Mexicans are here!” I laughed to myself thinking that this man was a serious actor.

“I’m guessing you mean the Alamo?” I said back to him. I looked up and saw he wasn’t smiling nor laughing. All throughout the ride he was staring in amazement at all the towering skyscrapers and the buildings along the street.

“I remember when this town was nothing more than a little trading village!” He finally said to me.

“So what’s your name?” I asked him.

“Daniel Cloud, yours?”

“David Zime.” I replied as I turned the corner of the street and laid eyes upon the Alamo.

I pulled up to the sidewalk and opened the door. Cloud got out of his seat and came up to me.

“Thanks for the ride.” He said extending his hand. I took his palm and it was freezing cold like he just stepped out of the freezer.

“Not a problem, Mr. Cloud, and don’t worry about the fee. It’s on the house.” He nodded his head in gratitude like all us Texans do and walked away.

It wasn’t until then that I noticed that he was soaked(浸；泡)to the bone in dripping water and we had not a single drop of rain in a month or more. I just shook my head and closed the door behind him. When I turned around. Discovered amazingly how fast Cloud had gone away!

A few days later I was reading a book about the Battle of the Alamo when I discovered the most shocking thing I had ever discovered. The names of the 183 defenders of the Alamo were listed on the roll of honor, including Daniel Cloud, who spotted the Mexicans before they took over the streets of San Antonio in February of 1836, and his post was on top of the San Femando Church where I had picked him up!
