Bdy language is a fascinating aspect f human cmmunicatin that ften speaks luder than wrds. It is a silent frm f expressin that cnveys ur thughts, emtins, and intentins. I have always been amazed by the way ur bdies can cmmunicate withututtering a single wrd.
One vivid memry that cmes t mind is a jb interview I had a few years ag. As I sat acrss frm the interviewer, I culd feel my bdy tensing up. I crssed my arms and leaned back in my chair, uncnsciusly acting a defensive barrier. The interviewer picked up n my clsed-ff psture and became mre reserved in their questining. It was clear that my bdy language was sending a message f discmfrt and lack f cnfidence.
Reflecting n that experience, I realized the imprtance f using pen and cnfident bdy language in prfessinal settings. Subtle changes in psture, facial expressins, and gestures can significantly impact the impressin we make n thers. Frm that day frward, I made a cnscius effrt t prject cnfidence and apprachability(平易近人) thrugh my bdy language.
Anther instance where bdy language played a crucial rle was during a family gathering. As we sat arund the dinner table, I nticed my yunger sister slumping and aviding eye cntact with anyne. Her bdy language indicated that she was feeling upset r anxius. Withut saying a wrd, I reached ut and gently tuched her hand, ffering a silent gesture f supprt. She lked at me with gratitude, and we shared a mment f understanding and cnnectin.
Bdy language is nt nly imprtant in interpersnal relatinships but als in public speaking. I remember watching a TED talk by a renwned speaker wh captivated the audience with their cnfident stance, expressive gestures, and engaging eye cntact. Their bdy language enhanced the impact f their wrds, making the talk mre memrable and pwerful.
In cnclusin, bdy language is a pwerful tl that can cnvey emtins, attitudes, and intentins withut the need fr verbal cmmunicatin. It is essential t be aware f ur wn bdy language and its impact n thers. By mastering the art f bdy language, we can enhance ur cmmunicatin skills and create strnger cnnectins with thse arund us.
24. What is the authr’s main purpse in sharing the jb interview experience?
A. T emphasize the significance f facial expressins in cmmunicatin.
B. T describe a persnal experience f discmfrt and lack f cnfidence.
C. T demnstrate the impact f bdy language n interpersnal relatinships.
D. T highlight the imprtance f nn-verbal cmmunicatin in prfessinal settings.
25. What des the underlined phrase “captivated the audience” in paragraph 5 mst likely mean?
A. The audience was critical and skeptical f the talk.
B. The audience was charmed and fascinated by the talk.
C. The audience was cnfused and disinterested in the talk.
D. The audience was distracted and uninterested in the talk.
26. Why is it imprtant t be cnscius f ur wn bdy language?
A. It can enhance ur public speaking skills and captivate the audience.
B. It can help us understand and interpret the bdy language f each ther.
C. It can prevent us frm making any nn-verbal cmmunicatin mistakes.
D. It can create strnger cnnectins and imprve interpersnal relatinships.

The sunflwer sea star has been listed as a critically endangered species fllwing a grundbreaking ppulatin study led by Oregn State University (OSU) and The Nature Cnservancy.
“These giant sea stars used t be easy t find and were a hit with divers. Unfrtunately, yur chances f finding ne nw are next t nthing in mst f the areas near the United States —this listing is ne step t extinctin—and I dn’t think they’re cming hack withut help,” said OSU’s Sarah Gravem, a research assciate in the Cllege f Science and the lead authr f the study.
Ppulatins f the sunflwer sea star suffered dramatic crashes because f a marine(海洋的) wildlife epidemic event, which began in 2013. Scientists used mre than 61,000 ppulatinsurveys frm 31 data sets t calculate a 90.6% decline in the sunflwer sea stars and estimated that as many as 5.75 billin animals died frm the disease, whse cause has nt been determined. Mrever, the research shwed n sign f ppulatin recvery in any regin in the five t seven years since the event.
Sunflwer sea stars are a key catcher f purple sea urchins(海胆) and the sea star decline has helped the increase in the urchin ppulatin in many regins. T many urchins are linked t a decline in kelpfrests(海藻林)already facing pressure frm marine heat wave events, making the future uncertain fr ecsystems that prvide habitat fr thusands f marine animals and help supprt castal ecnmies.
“Because mst peple are nt ut in the cean every day, we dn’t realize hw much it’s being changed and impacted by humans. We need t think abut hw t keep ur cean healthy. While reducing the release f carbn dixide is the mst pressing need, rebuilding key catcher ppulatins, like the sunflwer sea star, can be an imprtant piece f the puzzle t,” said study c-authr Sara Hamiltn, a Ph. D. candidate in the OSU Cllege f Science.
28. What can we infer abut sunflwer sea stars frm Sarah Gravem’s wrds?
A. They present a danger t divers.
B. They cannt recver n their wn.
C. They cannt adapt t the new envirnment.
D. They attract many turists t the United States.
29. What led t the sharp decline in the number f sunflwer sea stars?
A. Human beings’ verfishing.
B. The arrival f a new species.
C. The rising cean temperature.
D. The ccurrence f a marine disease.
30. What is the relatinship between suntlwer sea stars and the sea kelp frests?
A. Their cmmn enemies are sea urchins.
B. Sunflwer sea stars feed n the sea keep frests.
C. Sunflwer sea stars help preserve the sea kelp frests.
D. The sea kelp frests prvide habitats fr sunflwer sea stars.
31. What might Sara Hamiltn agree with?
A. Mre species shuld be intrduced t the cean.
B. Scientists play the mst imprtant rle in prtecting the cean.
C. The influence f human activities n the cean has decreased since 2013.
D. Mre actin shuld be taken t increase the number f sunflwer sea stars.

Researchers in the psychlgy department at the University f Califrnia at Ls Angeles (UCLA) have discvered a majr difference in the way men and wmen respnd t stress. This difference may explain why men are mre likely t suffer frm stress related disrders.
Until nw, psychlgical research has maintained that bth men and wmen have the same“fight r flight”reactin t stress. Hwever, the UCLA research team fund that men and wmen have quite different bilgical and behaviral respnses t stress. While men ften react t stress in the fight r flight respnse, wmen ften have anther kind f reactin which culd be called “tend and be friend.” That is, they ften react t stressful cnditins by prtecting and nurturing their yung (“tend”), and by lking fr scial cntact and supprt frm thers—especially ther females (“befriend”).
Scientists have lng knwn that in the fight t stress, an imprtant rle is played by certain hrmnes(激素) released by the bdy. The UCLA research team suggests that the female tend r be friend respnse is als based n a hrmne, whse name is xytcin(催产素). But nw it is being studied fr its rle in the respnse f bth men and wmen t stress. Accrding t the principal investigatr, Dr. Shelley Taylr, “Animals and peple with high levels f xytcin are calmer, mre relaxed, mre scial, and less anxius. While men als secrete(分泌) xytcin, its effects are reduced by male hrmnes.”
The study als shwed hw fathers and mthers respnded differently when they came hme t their family after a stressful day at wrk. The typical father wanted t be left alne t enjy sme peace and quiet. Fr a typical mther, cping with a bad day at wrk meant fcusing her attentin n her children and their needs.
The differences in respnding t stress may explain the fact that wmen have lwer frequency f stress related disrders such as high bld pressure r aggressive behavir. The tend and befriend regulatry(调节的) system may prtect wmen against stress, and this may explain why wmen n average live lnger than men.
32. The UCLA study shws that in respnse t stress, men are mre likely than wmen t _.
A. slve a cnflict calmlyB. seek cmfrt frm children
C. turn t friends fr sme helpD. find an escape frm the reality
33. Which f the fllwing is true abut xytcin accrding t the passage?
A Men have the same level f xytcin as wmen d.
B. Oxytcin used t be studied in bth men and wmen.
C. Oxytcin has mre f an effect n wmen than n men.
D. Bth animals and peple have the high levels f xytcin.
34. What can be learned frm the passage?
A. Male hrmnes help build up the bdy’s resistance t stress.
B. Bilgical differences lead t different behaviral reacts t stress.
C. In a family a mther cares mre abut children than a father des.
D. UCLA study was designed t cnfirm previus research findings.
35. Which f the fllwing might be the best title f the passage?
A. Hw men and wmen manage t get ver stress
B. Hw men and wmen suffer frm different stress
C. Hw researchers vercme majr stress prblems
D. Hw researchers deal with stress related disrders

Children lve playing utdrs. They usually get muddy, with n regard fr the clur f their clthing. “Dn’t get dirty!” was nce a cnstant family warning, as parents watched their children ruin their best clthes. They were happy running thrugh farmer’s fields r climbing trees. 36

Being clse t grass and trees seemed t have a beneficial effect n their minds.
Outdr play can als ffer valuable learning experiences. 39 . Thus they gradually understand the external envirnment and the internal cnnectins f things in different ways. If children play with thers, they can develp effective strategies t prmte cmmunicatin and scializatin.

Becming the captain f the cheerleaders is a significant accmplishment when yu’re in Grade Eight, abut t cnclude yur schl jurney with a sense f glry. At least, that’s what I had expected. The prcess f cunting the vtes nly tk abut five minutes, but fr me, it felt like an hur and a half. As Cach Williams prepared t annunce, I inched t the edge f my seat ready t spring t my feet as sn as she said my name.
“Girls,” she began, “Laura Shaw has been elected Captain f the Maplewd High Schlcheerleading team.” A great cheer was heard thrughut the gym, but all I culd d was t cntain my hysteria(歇斯底里). Hw culd this be? Was everyne blind? Didn’t they realize I had my heart set n this?
As everyne cheered fr Laura, I didn’t mve a step tward her. It felt like she had stlen my mment and my dream. After a few minutes, I walked ver t Laura with shaky legs and sftly said, “Gd luck, Laura.” in a whisper that barely masked my urge t cry.
Laura hugged me clse and said,“I wasn’t expecting this, Annie. What a shck.”I didn’tlash ut at(痛斥) her but in my heart I wanted t d just that. Wh was she t claim the title I had wrked three years t earn?
All the way hme, I sbbed. There was n way I was ging t stay n a team s blind they culdn’t see wh shuld be the captain. The next mrning, hwever, I went t my clset and tk ut my unifrm. Once hlding it clse t me in my hands, I knew I culdn’t quit. As heartbrken as I was, my true lve was cheering with my teammates.
Hw very hard it was t g t that first practice after Laura had been named captain. When I arrived, Cach Williams asked me t take three f the new girls and wrk with them n ur basic drills. Laura was assigned three new girls as well.
Just then Laura suggested all eight girls wrking tgether, and thugh I hesitated, I eventually agreed. __________
