8、ents. B When Marybeth Hearn was 10 years old, she asked her parents to let her train a dog to become a guide dog. It turned into a lifelong thing. Over more than fifty years, Hearn has raised 56 dogs to help visually impaired (视力受损的) people. But her influence doesnt end there the longtime high schoo
9、l teacher has encouraged several of her family members and some of her students to train many more. When she looked to her parents for support years ago, things were different from what she expected. Her mom didnt like dogs, and her dad doubted she would be able to find any money to pay for the cost
10、 of the training. However, Hearn presented the project at a Lions Club and raised $2, 500. So on a sunny summer day in 1962, the family drove home with a black Lab named Letta, the first of a long series of dog trainees. Two sons and a granddaughter have followed in Hearns footsteps, but her greates
11、t influence has come from guiding student trainers, who since 1992 have worked through a school club with 170 dogs that ended up in different service posts. They spend 14 months with each dog teaching them skills. The dogs live full-time with the students, attending their classes and field trips to
12、become socialized. The dogs then go to trainers employed by Guide Dogs for the Blind, an organization that partners with the program, before graduating and being paired with two-legged companions.

16、ing and careful. D. Strict and creative. C Modern research on body language often called nonverbal behavior began in the 1960s and 1970s with studies that aimed to demonstrate the universality (普遍性) of facial expressions of emotion. That work was inspired, in part, by Charles Darwins study “The Expr
17、ession of the Emotions in Man and Animals (1872).” But it had received little attention for around a century, according to nonverbal communication expert David Matsumoto. Then modern researchers examined how the brain reacts to facial expressions, and how babies copy facial and hand gestures. And sc
18、ientists have also realized the complexity (复杂性) of body language. Much research has suggested that body language is often hard to interpret, or understand. But for years some advisers and experts have been using their knowledge in many practical (实际的) areas. “I help people influence and persuade ot
19、hers around how trustworthy and credible ( 可信的) their message is by helping them with their specific nonverbal communication,” said Mark Bowden. He is the author of “Winning Body Language,” a guide for readers including business people and famous people. He focuses on where a person faces their body
20、 and how much space they take up, as well as their gestures. Some experts also say they can use those signals to interpret hidden emotions. Joe Navarro is the author of “What Every Body Is Saying.” It is a book about reading a persons mind from their nonverbal behavior. Its easy to spot a speakers l
21、ip movements when he faces a question he doesnt like, Joe said. While the work of these experts attracts large audiences, many scientists are unsure whether their methods are reliable. “Our facial expressions show certain types of emotional states,” Matsumoto said. So do some body movements. But “pe
22、ople do all kinds of things with their bodies,” he said. Your raised eyebrow ( 眉毛) could express doubt but it might also signal discomfort or surprise. The same hand gesture could mean different things in different cultures, he said. 28. What role did Charles Darwins study play according to paragrap

26、oving their welfare, new research suggests. Traditionally, zoos have focused on more straightforward measures such as whether animals are eating and sleeping. The new review, by the University of Exeter and the University of Winchester, says zoos have made great improvements in recent years, but clo
27、ser observation of animal behaviour a method called Qualitative Behavioural Assessment, developed in farming could show even more about their state of mind. An animals positioning of its body, facial movements and activity levels are among the things that might tell whether it is excited, calm, inte
28、rested, nervous, relaxed, etc. “Zookeepers are knowledgeable about their animals, and they will often recognise an animals state of mind by its behaviour and body language,” said Dr. Paul Rose, of the University of Exeter. “What we are suggesting is a more scientific method of this, carried out over
29、 time. “Certain behaviours will show certain moods ( 情绪) in an animal, and we should build our knowledge of this for different animals that live in zoos. For example, lions have a lot of facial expressions, and research on these expressions could help zoos understand the animals state of mind. This
30、information could then be used to improve welfare by changing diets, feeding times or any number of other aspects of the way animals are kept.” Dr. Rose carries out much of his research at WWT Slimbridge Wetland Centre, and is now examining how the swans ( 天鹅) there might show their state of mind th

32、pportunities for Qualitative Behavioural Assessment and practices that could be used by zoos. “Animal welfare in zoos has improved greatly in the last 10 or 20 years, and this method gives zoos another way to recognise and improve the welfare of animals,” Dr. Rose said. 32. What do the university re
33、searchers suggest? A. More studies on the welfare of zoo animals. B. Closer observation of zoo animals behaviours. C. More attention to farm animals body language. D.

35、ve little in fearful situations. D. They spend little time in their habitat. 35. What does Dr. Rose express in the last paragraph? A. Animal welfare in zoos is worrying. B.

Hand gestures add emphasis. Voice levels add to our communication. 36 Body language is not th
37、e same everywhere. The same body postures and gestures can have different meanings in different cultures. For example, holding your hand out, fingers together, and palm (手掌) facing outward means stop in North America. 37 Ojigi, or Japanese bowing, is used as a way to say hello, a way to say sorry, a
38、nd a way to show respect. 38 Fifteen degrees is the common greeting bow for those you already know or who are on an equal social level. The highest respect bow is forty-five degrees and is used when you say sorry. Other forms of nonverbal communication include clothing, hairstyles, and even how clos
39、e we stand to one another. Proxemics is the study of the cultural use of space. 39 The use of color in ones physical space is an example of proxemics of physical territory. A health spa (休闲健身中心) is more likely to use cool greens and blues to create a relaxing environment. 40 This differs depending o
40、n the other person and the situation. For example, in the United States public space is between twelve to twenty-five feet. Intimate (亲密的) space is less than a foot. We may feel uncomfortable if any of these distances are reduced without an invitation. A. In Greece, the same gesture is highly rude.
41、B. Personal space is between two and four feet. C. Even silence can be a useful form of communication. D. The degree of the bow shows the amount of respect. E. This can be both someones personal and physical territory. F. It is not impolite to look the other person in the eye while bowing in Europe.
