2．A lot of people ask this question："Why is body language so important？" Studies have shown that in the process of communication，non-verbal expression has 65% to 93% more influence than actual text.This means that "how to say" is more important than "what to say".Of course，this does not mean that you don't need to do preparation for your interviews，nor does it mean that you can take any short cuts.On the contrary，this means that you have more things to pay attention to and prepare for.
In the real workplace，body language is much more important than you think.Without proper body language，you may find yourself trapped in a circle where you can't integrate with the external environment，not to mention the difficulties in the absence of body language in the workplace.
"People can often make inferences from actions，and the results of these inferences directly affect lives：for example，who will be employed and who will be promoted." Academician Amy Cuddy said in a TV talk show.She also said that "our body language will also affect our perception（感知，看法）of ourselves.When you try to make more authoritative actions，your brain will inadvertently（不經意地）receive signals and actually create an idea that you are more authoritative，so that you have more confidence in yourself".
Therefore，before interviews or important meetings，try not to lean on any object or have a hunched back.Instead，you should try to keep your body relaxed.You can even stand with a relatively authoritative posture（姿勢）-of course，you may need to do these things in the bathroom or places where no one could see you.
Body language plays a crucial role in your job interviews，careers，and everyday life.Paying attention to body language could make strong impacts on your behavior，which could help you achieve better results.So，every time you are nervous or feel that you can't do it，stretch your body，smile，and tell yourself "Fake it till you become it!"
（1）What does Paragraph 1 mainly tell us？
A．What we say in a conversation is not so important.
B．Practicing body language is a short cut to success.
C．We should attach great importance to body language.
D．Body language carries 93% of conversation messages.
（2）According to Amy Cuddy，why is body language important for us？
A．It decides whether we are promoted.
B．It influences people's impression of us.
C．It makes us look more authoritative.
D．It helps people understand who we are.
（3）What does the underlined word "hunched" possibly mean？
A．Broken down.
B．Tied behind.
C．Bent forward.
D．Straightened up.
（4）Who might be the intended readers of the passage？
A．New arrivals in the workplace.
B．Body language researchers.
C．Working adults to be promoted.
D．Viewers of a TV talk show.組卷：1引用：3難度：0.5 -
3．Cities usually have a good reason for being where they are，like a nearby port or river.People settle in these places because they are easy to get to and naturally suited to communications and trade.New York City，for example，is near a large harbour at the mouth of the Hudson River.Over 300 years its population grew gradually from 800 people to 8 million.But not all cities develop slowly over a long period of time.Boom towns grow from nothing almost overnight.In 1896，Dawson，Canada，was unmapped wilderness（荒野）.But gold was discovered there in 1897，and two years later，it was one of the largest cities in the West，with a population of 30，000.
Dawson did not have any of the natural conveniences of cities like London or Paris.People went there for gold.They travelled over snow-covered mountains and sailed hundreds of miles up icy rivers.The path to Dawson was covered with thirty feet of wet snow that could fall without warming.An avalanche（雪崩） once closed the path，killing 63 people.For many who made it to Dawson，however，the rewards were worth the difficult trip.Of the first 20，000 people who dug for gold，4，000 got rich.About 100 of these stayed rich men for the rest of their lives.
But no matter how rich they were，Dawson was never comfortable.Necessities like food and wood were very expensive.But soon，the gold that Dawson depended on had all been found.The city was crowded with disappointed people with no interest in settling down，and when they heard there were new gold discoveries in Alaska，they left Dawson City as quickly as they had come.Today，people still come and go — to see where the Canadian gold rush happened.Tourism is now the chief industry of Dawson City — its present population is 762.
（1）What attracted the early settlers to New York City？
A．Its business culture.
B．Its small population.
C．Its geographical position.
D．Its favourable climate.
（2）What do we know about those who first dug for gold in Dawson？
A．Two-thirds of them stayed there.
B．One out of five people got rich.
C．Almost everyone gave up.
D．Half of them died.
（3）What was the main reason for many people to leave Dawson？
A．They found the city too crowded.
B．They wanted to try their luck elsewhere.
C．They were unable to stand the winter.
D．They were short of food.
（4）What is the text mainly about？
A．The rise and fall of a city.
B．The gold rush in Canada.
C．Journeys into the wilderness.
D．Tourism in Dawson.組卷：4引用：7難度：0.6

9．After Henry delivered all the newspapers，he pedaled fast to The Gazette offices by8.30.The chief editor had something important to tell him.He parked his bike and bounded up two flights of stairs to the chief editor's door.
Mr.Trotta greeted him. "About those papers，" he paused， "no good way to deliver bad news." Henry's smile faded. "We're closing shop Saturday.Advertising is down.Television is how people get their news today，" Mr.Trotta shrugged， "You won't have to get up early on weekends." "No，" said Henry， "but I like waking up early and meeting people on my route.It's sad.People won't get their neighborhood news any more."
As Henry rode past the familiar houses，he saw Mr.Grady on his porch（門廊） holding a broom（掃把） "Mr.Grady，wait，" Henry called，setting down his bike.He led Mr.Grady to a chair and took the broom.In minutes，the porch was clean."Now，Mr.Grady，anytime you have chores（家務），call me." They sat for a while as Mr.Grady recalled how happy he'd been moving his family to 26 Maple.He sounded lonely.
A week after closing，Henry wondered if his customers missed The Gazette as much as he did.He thought of a way to find out.
He started out on his old route with a notebook.First stop.Mr.Jonas，17 Oak.When Henry asked him about the paper，Mr.Jonas answered，"I sure liked reading the week's happenings.By the way，I have a pile of old comics from The Gazette.Think someone would want them？"
"I'll ask around." Henry made a note in his notebook.
He stopped at Mrs.Burke's，27 Maple.She opened the door holding two babies.Her other two kids held on to her legs.Henry stared. "You could use a babysitter." "Definitely，I meant to put an ad in The Gazette，but...Know any neighbors with experience？"
Mr.Simon was next door，carrying his violin out to his car. "Hey，Henry.My band is having a concert in the park next Friday.Tell all your friends."
