4 . Much information can be conveyed, purely through our eyes, so the expression “eyes also talk” is often heard.

Can you recall any experience that further proves this statement? On a bus you may quickly glance at a stranger, but not make eye contact. If he senses that he is being stared at, he may feel uncomfortable.

It is the same in daily life. If you are stared at for more than necessary, you will look at yourself up and down to see if there is anything wrong with you. If nothing goes wrong, you will feel angry about other's staring at you that way. Eyes do convey information, right？

Looking too long at someone may seem to be rude and aggressive. But things are different when it comes to staring at the opposite sex. If a man looks at a woman for more than 10 seconds and refuses to turn away his gaze, his intentions are obvious. That is, he wishes to attract her attention, to make her understand that he is showing affection for her.

However, the normal eye contact for two people engaged in conversation is that the speaker will only look at the listener from time to time, in order to make sure that the listener does pay attention to what the former is speaking, to tell him that he is attentive.

If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking, as if he tries to control you, you will feel uneasy. A poor liar usually exposes himself by looking too long at the victim, since he believes the false idea that to look straight in the eye is a sign of honest communication.

In fact, continuous eye contact happens between lovers only, who will enjoy looking at each other tenderly for a long time, to show love that words cannot express.

Evidently, eye contact should be done according to the relationship between two people and the specific situation.

3. What does it mean if a man looks at a woman for over 10 seconds?

C．He knows her well.	D．He makes contact with her.

7 . Among the more practical advice that can be offered to international travelers is wisdom of the toilet. I do not mean those squats (下蹲) you see at the gym. No, strong glutes (臀肌) will not save you here. I mean the deep squat. This position is so stable that people in China can hold it for minutes and perhaps even hours…

Of course, squat toilet is not unique to Asia, nor is the deep-squatting position. But so common is the position in Asia and so rare it is in the West that it’s been nicknamed the “Asian squat”. Bryan Ausinheiler, a physician in California said, “The squat is a great model for a multi-segmental movement pattern. You have to fold everything up underneath you.” There’s a lot going on.

But the key factor seems to be ankle flexibility. This is also in part. Ausinheiler says, why kids have no problem squatting. “I measured my daughter’s ankle flexibility when she was one day old,” says Ausinheiler. “She has 70 degrees of ankle dorsiflexion (背屈)! Normal in the West is like 30.” So humans are born squatters; some of us lose it when we stop trying. Body shape also seems to play a role. People with the longest legs have the worst squat.

Believe it or not, no one appears to have actually studied born ability in deep squatting across ethnic groups. “You would have to take kids from the time they’re born in China and never let them do any squats to be a control group, and it’ll never happen,” says Matt Hundson, a physiologist at the University of Delaware, humorously. And finally, it may not matter. Practice and training make the bigger difference.

Some believe America’s squat problems can be blamed on toilet seats. Yet this ability that comes so naturally has been lost ----- and it’s not so easy to get it back. But the position, while doable, is not very comfortable for me.

1. Why has the deep-squatting position been named “Asian squat” ?

A．It came from Asia	B．It is widely adopted by Asians
C．It can be performed only by Asians	D．It is completely invisible in the West

2. What is the most important factor for performing “Asian squat” ?

A．Flexible ankles.	B．Strong glutes.
C．Body shape.	D．Ethnic groups.

3. What can we infer from the fourth paragraph?

A．Studying deep squatting is not practical.

B．Asians have born ability in deep squatting.

C．It’s necessary to study newborn babies in China.

D．Everyone can do deep squatting through practice.

4. Why have Americans lost the ability of deep squatting?

A．Because it comes so naturally.

B．Because it is never got back once lost.

C．Because they rely on toilet seats too much.

D．Because they feel it impossible and uncomfortable.

8 . We all have experienced cold hands when we’re exposed to cold weather conditions. This is absolutely normal. It happens as the body tries to adjust its temperature. The warmth of the hands is restored naturally once you move indoors.     1    

The natural system of the body enables us to keep the hands, feet and other vital organs warm with the help of constant supply of blood throughout the body.     2     In such a case, you’ll experience cold hands. The smaller arteries of the body that are present in the fingers contract abnormally when there’s mild drop in temperature or even after touching a cold object. As a result, the blood flow to the hands gets affected and they become cold.

    3     When you’re under too much stress, the nervous system reacts to the stress by narrowing down the blood vessels present in the extreme ends of the body. So mental stress also can lead to cold hands.

If you always have cold hands, you shouldn’t ignore the problem.     4     In the cold weather condition, be dressed in warm gloves. Proper stress management is necessary to restore the normal blood flow to all parts of the body.     5     If you suffer from frostbitten fingers, keep them clean and dry all the time, and avoid rubbing or pressing them.

A．It can be treated with a healthy lifestyle.

B．It can be identified with the change in the skin color.

C．What can result in cold hands from the aspect of psychology?

D．If it’s serious, then it has to be treated with suitable medicines.

E．However, if it continues all the time, then it’s a matter of concern.

F．Sometimes, for some reasons, the normal blood flow to the hands is restricted.

G．Wearing tight clothing, particularly in the upper part of the body, needs to be avoided.

9 . What will the man have?

A．An English test.

B．A job interview.

C．A physical examination.

10 . With great beauty comes great pain. Lauren Lovette is one of the New York City Ballet’s lead dancers. And her ______ are killing her. She has injured them many times. She had an operation to ____ a bone abnormality. ______, even with daily ankle exercises, ice baths and soft creams, the 25-year-old still hasn’t made ______ with her feet.

Lovette ______ this struggle with many dancers. Their feet are seriously ______. They may ____, jump, leap and turn around like any NBA basketball star, but they do it without any foot-comfort features ______ shock absorption (减震). Most athletes get to wear shoes that are ____ of their feet, but not dancers.

Dancers ______ around the stage barefoot, in heels or in thin slippers (软鞋). Or, if they’re ballet dancers, they wear tight-fitting pointe shoes (芭蕾舞鞋). Pointe shoes may look ______, but there’s a seriousness to their purpose: helping the dancer do what no human is ______ to do.

“Generally, dancers are just as ______ as football players, ______ not stronger,” says Lisa M. Schoene, a Chicago ______. She’s also an athletic trainer who treats dancers and Olympians. Ballet dancers must ______ all of their weight on the tiniest tips of their toes, known as dancing “en pointe” (足尖舞). “______ on pointe is one of the most athletic things you can do,” Schoene says, “The feet are holding 10 to 12 times of the body weight, going up and down on that pointe shoe.”

____ a ballet dancer treats her feet is important. And it’s true for any of us. Our footwear is an essential tool no matter what we do. “Some shoes, ______ too often, can cause more pressure than pointe shoes,” the doctor ______. Wearing long lip-flops (人字拖鞋), high heels and what few dancers would ever wear outside the studio---ballet flats, does more harm than good.
