3 . My younger brother has a strange relationship with birthdays. One year, he sent me an unexpected birthday card, which turned out to be a double _________ as it arrived four months after my birthday.

“You should just _________ when you feel like it, and not be restricted (限制) to a specific day,” he said.

“You’ve always been a little over the top about _________,” he said.

“Fine. But I always remember yours,” I said. I would _________ forget the day he was born.

4 . Making eye contact isn’t always easy. It can feel uncomfortable at times, especially when you haven’t yet built a relationship with the other person.     1    

Eye contact helps others remember what you said. When you share eye contact during a conversation, you’ll remember more of what the other person said. The reverse (相反的情况) is true as well.     2     Research found that during a video call, participants remembered more of the information from the call when there was more eye contact included.     3     The researchers found that a direct gaze for 30% of the conversation is all it takes for participants to significantly increase what they remembered from the call.

    4     Being self-aware means that you are aware of what’s currently happening with your body. And eye contact can help with that, according lo research from the University of Paris. Researchers found that we’re more focused on our own bodies and behavior when other people look at us.

Eye contact creates attraction. Eye contact attraction is a real thing. Research showed that humans find other people more attractive when they make eye contact. Smiling can also help create attraction.     5     Workmates and leaders will be more inclined (想) to build relationships with you when you look them in the eye. On the other hand, no eye contact can show a lack of confidence.

A．So how to make eye contact naturally?

B．Eye contact can help with self-awareness.

C．But why is eye contact important in the first place?

D．Other people will also remember more of what you said.

E．This is why eye contact plays a huge role in learning and discussing.

F．While this is important for personal relationships, it also matters at work.

G．And, people don’t even need a huge amount of eye contact to get this benefit.

5 . Gaelic had been the major culture in Scotland. But many forces tried to weaken its power. The final straw came in 1609, when some laws required Highland Scottish leaders to send their children to English-speaking schools. Naturally, the culture continued to weaken through the 20th century. Though Gaelic still existed in some rural areas, a lack of jobs meant young people in Gaelic areas were leaving for English-speaking cities.

Iain Noble was a wealthy businessman from Germany. He quickly fell in love with Gaelic culture when he moved to Scotland. So he set up the college of Sabhal Mòr Ostaig in 1973 on the Isle of Skye. Today, it has more than 1,000 students and is officially the National Centre for Gaelic Language and Culture. It is where the revival of Scotland’s Gaelic culture started.

Of course, the college teaches the language and culture. But the secret to making such impressive cultural achievements is giving language learners skills in industries like media and business. The skills allow students to create local jobs and help make the area known to tourists.

Noble’s wife Lady Lucilla said his eagerness to revive the culture was clear. After spending much money setting up the college, Noble had to go to great lengths to find worthwhile teachers. Sometimes he tried hard to find people who had left Skye, “Iain would invite those whose families were from Skye but who were working in Aberdeen, in London and further afield,” said Lucilla.

“Now I’ve seen some cool youngsters who are very proud of their Gaelic, and they are fascinated by the culture,” she said.

One such youngster is 15-year-old Emily Macdonald. She not only speaks Gaelic fluently with her friends, but is excited to do so.

“I feel like we’re even more wanting to speak Gaelic, just to keep it alive, because it is really important to our nation,” she said. “And to have this special language that we can speak to each other in is quite special.”

1. What does the first paragraph mainly talk about?

A．The fall of Gaelic.	B．The future of Gaelic.
C．The influence of Gaelic.	D．The advantages of Gaelic.

2. What is the key to the college’s success?

A．Having the best Gaelic teachers.	B．Teaching students professional skills.
C．Receiving much government support.	D．Being open to both natives and foreigners.

3. What did Lucilla tell us about Noble?

A．He made much money from the college.

B．He traveled a lot to spread Gaelic culture.

C．He spared no effort to do his cultural work.

D．He became world-famous because of his college.

4. What does Emily Macdonald think of Gaelic language?

A．It is the pride of their nation.	B．It is hard to learn for youngsters.
C．It has changed a lot over the years.	D．It attracts fewer local young people.
