The Argentina Football Association confirmed Maradona's death on Wednesday and expressed the deepest sorrow for the     1     (lose) of the country’s legend.

    2     ( regard) as the best player in the history of the game , Maradona became a household name after he     3     (lead) his country to World Cup glory in 1986. He took center stage at the tournament with a memorable performance against England where he scored an iconic(具有讽刺意义的) goal     4     was described as the "Hand of God". Later in     5     same match, he scored one of the best     6     (goal) in history after weaving his way past seven English defenders.

Argentina's President announced three days of national mourning     7     (show) the sadness for the passing away of the superstar, and posted a tribute(悼念) to Maradona on Twitter. "You took us to the top of the world.

2 . You wear your mask to minimize your risk of Covid-19. But as you walk in a supermarket, you approach someone who looks familiar. To avoid an awkward exchange, you flash them a friendly smile. It's not until you pass that you remember: Your smile was hidden behind a mask.     1     But you can adjust and enhance your communication by focusing on some of the other pieces that aren't hidden behind a mask.

Do remember the face isn't totally covered. Happiness, sadness, fear and surprise can be communicated through facial expressions alone. But when part of the face is masked, it becomes more difficult to recognize them.     2     If you want to increase understanding with a masked individual, you should look them in the eyes. Bear in mind, eye contact can also make you appear more intelligent and trustworthy.

We communicate through body language. Learning how people use their bodies to convey emotion may help reduce the uncertainty you feel when communicating with someone in a mask.     3     When engaged in a conversation, you can appear more attentive by turning your body toward the individual.

    4     It's not just what you say but how you say it that matters. Along with the actual words, you also use volume, tone and pauses to convey your message. For instance, a lower-pitched whisper may denote sadness or insecurity, whereas a higher-pitched shout could show anger or intensity. Chances are that anyone listening to you could easily identify your emotions without even seeing you. If you feel the need to speak louder, just be aware that raising your voice can alter the message you are trying to send. Changing the tone of your voice can change the whole conversation.     5    

A．Become aware of your own body language, too.

B．So instead of increasing volume, try talking clearly.

C．Without question, masks have disturbed social communication.

D．Wearing a mask makes you feel more distracted and self-conscious.

E．Fortunately, you can regain some control over communication by working with the eyes.

F．Facial expressions are the primary way people exhibit emotion.

G．Don't forget the impact of your voice.

3 . “If you don't behave, I'll call the police”is a lie that parents might use to get their young children to behave. A new psychological(心理学的) study led by Nanyang Technological University, Singapore suggests that it is connected with harmful effects when the children become adults.

The research team asked 379 Singaporean young adults whether their parents lied to them when they were children, how much they lie to their parents as adults, and how well they respond adulthood challenges.

The first questionnaire asked these young adults to recall if their parents told them lies about eating, leaving or staying, spending money and so on. Some examples of such lies are “If you don't come with me now, I will leave you here by yourself”and“I don’t bring money with me today, we can come back another day”.The second questionnaire included questions that could show how often they lie to their parents as adults. Lastly, these young adults filled in two other questionnaires that asked them about their psychological problems and tendency (趋势)to behave selfishly and impulsively(冲动地).

Adults who reported being lied to more as children were more likely to report lying to their parents in their adulthood. They also said they faced greater difficulty in meeting psychological and social challenges.

Lead author Setoh Peipei from NTU Singapore's School of Social Sciences said, “Parenting by lying can seem to save time, especially when the real reasons behind why parents want children to do something are difficult to explain. When parents tell children that‘honesty is the best policy’，but display dishonesty by lying, such behavior can send negative messages to their children. Parents' dishonesty may finally erode trust and encourage dishonesty in children”

“Our research suggests that parenting by lying is a practice that has negative influence on children when they grow up. Parents should be aware of these possible risks and consider other ways to replace lying, such as knowing children's feelings, giving information so children know what to expect, offering choices and solving problems together, to encourage children to have good behavior, ”said lead author Setoh Peipei.

But the study has its limitations. Some limitations of the study include depending on what young adults report about their parents' lying. “Future research can explore using many informants(提供信息的人), such as parents, to report on the same thing”suggested Setoh.

A．Parents can sometimes tell harmless lies to their kids

B．Parents had better explain to their kids why they’ve lied

C．Parents who like lying are more likely to behave selfishly

D．Parents should use positive ways instead of lying during parenting

4. What is the main idea of the text?

It is well known that one of the aims of UNESCO is to protect and preserve cultural and naturally heritage. Our heritage is a precious gift from the past, and it is also what we live with today. I have been told by many people that if I have visited Mountain Tai before, I would have regarded it as a best scenic spot of the ones I have seen. Many people just find them unbelievable that such beautiful places exist in this world.

These heritage site impress visitors with their amazing beauty, and they are a great source of inspiration given people fresh ideas. Without the marvelous views, many great poems could not have produced. There are altogether more than over 900 World Heritage sites. People have come to understand the truth which they do not belong to any single person, and to all mankind.

6 . Something I enjoy doing most in my leisure time is going to the cinema to watch a great film. It's two hours of relaxation and escapism from real life. But when I kick back in my seat to enjoy the film and tuck into (大口吃) my box of popcorn, I'm often irritated by seeing someone next to me texting on their mobile phone or worse still, talking to someone.

It's no surprise that a proposal by a US cinema chain to let people use their phones during some film screenings was met with such anger, that the company had to withdraw the idea. People said it was the worst idea ever! Surely, going to watch the latest film is just that — watching not multi-screening. And if you're out with a friend it seems very antisocial or just rude. I certainly get distracted (分心的) by the click-click on someone's mobile keyboard as they text and the glow of the bright small phone screen — why aren't they concentrating on the big screen?

But with the availability of streaming films at home and cheap DVDs, cinemas are struggling to keep their customers. Some places now offer comfortable seats with free snacks and drinks so maybe trying to attract a younger audience by allowing the use of mobile phones is the way forward. A survey in 2012found that a majority of 18-to-34-year-olds believed using social media while watching a movie would add to their experience.

However, not every young person wants to multi-task at the movies. Many of us still get annoyed by the theatre staff who appear not to do anything about it. Of course, we could ask the offenders to turn their phones off but as Adam Aron, head of AMC Entertainment, said in Variety magazine, "when you tell a 22-year-old to turn off the phone, don't ruin the movie, they hear ‘please cut off your left arm above the elbow’ " Clearly this is not what I would like to see but if you want to use your mobile phone in the cinema that I'm at, please don't sit next to me! What do you think is the right thing to do?

3. What can we infer from Paragraph 3? ______

A．People prefer to watch films and DVD at home.

B．The cinema needn't worry about their customers.

C．Young people use their social media frequently.

D．Sending messages is the best experience for young people.

4. What is the author's attitude towards multi-task at the movies? ______

A．Sympathy.	B．Disapproval.
C．Enthusiasm.	D．Encouragement.
