Mirrring bdy language is a way t bnd and t build understanding. It is a pwerful tl that we use withut even knwing it.
The mst bvius frms f mirrring are yawning and smiling. When yu see smene yawn, yu are likely t yawn immediately. Smiling is als pretty cntagius—seeing a smiling persn makes yu want t smile t.
Mirrring bdy language is a nnverbal way t say “I am like yu r I feel the same”. Research shws that peple wh experience the same feelings are likely t trust, understand and accept each ther. Wmen have the natural ability t pick up and understand bdy signals. Therefre, it is nt surprising that a wman is mre likely t mirrr anther wman than a man is t mirrr anther man.
That’s why wmen are regarded as better talkers, even if they might nt really have mre clse friends.
Mirrring bdy language is an excellent way t build trust and understanding quickly. If yu want t set up a cnnectin with thers, mirrr their gestures, sitting psitin, tne f vice and talking pace. This will make them feel that there is smething abut yu that they like.
While mirrring bdy language gains yu acceptance, yu still need t take int cnsideratin yur relatinship with the persn yu are mirrring. If yu are in a lwer scial psitin and are mirrring the bdy language f yur bss, he will view yu as rude. Hwever, if yu want t defeat thse wh are trying t prve superir t yu, mirrring their bdy language will help defeat them and change their psitin.
28. What des the underlined wrd “cntagius” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Affecting each ther.B. Shwing ne’s feelings.
C. Attractive t the thers.D. Gentle t peple arund.
29. What can we knw abut wmen frm the research?
A. They dn’t like mirrring thers.
B. They tend t have mre clse friends.
C. They are naturally gifted in building trust.
D. They are gd at interpreting bdy language.
30. What is the authr’s attitude t the behavir f mirrring the bss?
A. Indifferent.B. Curius.C. Dubtful.D. Disapprving.
31. What is the best title fr the text?

The idea f lw material desire, lw cnsumptin and refusing t wrk, marry and have children, cncluded as a “lying dwn” lifestyle, recently struck a chrd with many yung Chinese wh are eager t take pause t breathe in this fast-paced and highly-cmpetitive sciety.
Many millennials (千禧一代) and generatin Zs cmplained t the Glbal Times that burdens, including wrk stress, family disputes and financial strains, have pushed them “against the wall”. They said they hate the “invlutin(内卷),” jking that they wuld rather give up sme f what they have than get trapped in an endless cmpetitin against peers.
“Instead f always fllwing the ‘virtues’ f struggle, endure and sacrifice t bear the stresses, they prefer a temprary lying dwn as catharsis (宣泄) and adjustment,” said a schlar. “It is n wnder that sme yung peple, under the grwing pressures frm child-raising t paying the mrtgage (按揭) tday, wuld try t live in a simple way and leave the wrries behind.”
Interestingly, the majrity f millennials and Gen Zs reached by the Glbal Times, wh claim t be big fans f the lying dwn philsphy, acknwledged that they nly accept a temprary lying dwn as a shrt rest. It is true that with the great imprvement f living cnditins, sme Chinese yuth have partially lst the spirit f hardship and are nt willing t bear t much hard wrk. But in fact, lying dwn is nt entirely cmfrtable. Yung peple wh lie dwn always feel guilty abut their cnstant lss f mrale (士气) far beynd their reach.
“Yung peple n campus have bth aspiratins and cnfusin abut their future, but mst f us have rejected setting urselves up in chains t waste pprtunities and challenges,” a pstgraduate student tld the Glbal Times. “It’s n use running away. I have t ‘stand up’ and face the reality sner r later.”
32. What des the underlined phrase in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Warned.B. Punished.C. Amused.D. Tuched.
33. What might have caused the “lying dwn” lifestyle amng the yung?
A. Imprvements in living cnditins.
B. Grwing pressure frm family and scial life.
C. Increasing material pssessins frm families.
D. Temprary adjustment t failure in cmpetitins.
34. What’s the schlar’s attitude tward the “lying dwn” grup?
A. Understanding.B. Intlerant.C. Supprtive.D. Unclear.
35. What can be inferred abut the yung generatin frm the text?
A. They never really drp their respnsibilities.
B. They really enjy the “lying dwn” lifestyle.
C. They find their dreams far beynd their reach.
D. They wuld rather escape than take challenges.
