When something goes wrong，it can be very satisfying to say, “Well, it’s so-and-so’s fault.” or “I know I’m late，but it’s not my fault; the car broke down.” It is probably not your fault，but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation，you are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation. This is the winner’s key to success.Winners are great at overcoming problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly. Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need. For another example, if your colleague (同事) causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or don’t rely on this person. You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well.This is what being a winner is all about—creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners don’t have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on “whose fault it is.” Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stones for success.

We use both words and body language to express our thoughts and opinions and to communicate with other people. We can learn about what a person is thinking by watching his or her body language. Words are important, but the way a person stands, folds his or her arms, or moves his or her hands can also give us information about his or her feelings.

Just like spoken language, body language varies from culture to culture. Making eye contact —looking directly into someone’s eyes — is in some countries a way to show interest. In other countries, however, eye contact is rude or disrespectful. The gesture for Ok, making a circle with one’s thumb and index finger, has different meanings in different cultures. In Japan, someone who sees another person making the gesture will think it means money. In France, a person seeing the same gesture will think it means zero. In Brazil and Germany, however, the gesture is rude. The thumbs-up gesture, meaning “great” or “good job” in the US is rude in Nigeria, but in Germany and Japan it means the number one. The “crazy” gesture, moving the index finger in a circle in front of the ear, means “you have a phone call” in Brazil.

Even the gesture we use for “yes” and “no” are different around the world. In many countries, shaking one’s head means “no”, and nodding means “yes”. In Bulgaria, parts of Greece, and Iran, however, the gestures have the opposite meaning. There are also differences as to how often we touch each other, how close we stand to someone we are talking to, and how we act when we meet or part. In some countries, for example, France and Russia, a visiting friend is greeted with a kiss on the check, in other countries people greet each other with a firm handshake, a loving hug, a bow or a simply a nod of the head.

While there are many different interpretations of our body language, some gestures seem to be universal. Pressing one’s palms together and resting one’s head on the back of one’s hand while closing the eyes as if sleeping means “I am tired.” A good way of saying “I am full” is moving the hand in circles over the stomach after a meal. If a person pats his or her stomach before a meal, it usually means “ I’m hungry.”

Perhaps the best example of universally understood body language is the smile. A smile can help us get through difficult situation and find friends in a world of strangers. A smile can open doors and tear down walls. It can be used to express almost any emotion. We can use a smile to apologise, to greet someone, to ask for help or to start a conversation. We can smile at ourselves in the mirror to make ourselves feel happier and stronger. And if we are feeling down or lonely, there is nothing better than to see the smiling face of a good friend.

28.In our daily life, which of the following do we use to communicate with each other?

gestures? ??B. words? ??C. smiles?? ??D. all above

29.As a Chinese , if you are lost in Germany, without knowing German, you’d better---- to ask for help?

use eye-contact? ?B. thumb-up?? ?C. smile? ??D. say “excuse me”

C. gestures in the western countries ?D. using proper gesture to express yourself31.The underlined word “universal” in the last second paragraph probably means ______.A. wide?? ???B. common? ?C. not similar?? D. in space D

Recently?I?spoke?to?some?of?my?students?about what they wanted?to?do after they graduated, and what kind?ofjob prospects they thought they had.

Given that?I?teach?students?who are training?to?be doctors,?I?was surprised?to?find that most thought that they would not be able?to?get the jobs they wanted without “outside help”. “What kind?of?help is that?”?Iasked, expecting them?to?tell me that they would need a relative or family friend?to?help them out.

“Surgery(外科手术)”, one replied.?I?was pretty alarmed by that response. It seems that the graduates?oftoday are increasingly willing?to?go under the knife?to?get ahead?of?others when it comes?to?getting a job. One girl told me that she was considering surgery?to?increase her height.“They break your legs, put in special extending screws, and slowly expand the gap between the two ends?of?the bone as it regrows, you can get at least 5cm taller!”

At that point,?I?was shocked.?I?am short,?I?can’t deny that, but?I?don’t think?I?would put myself through months?of?agony(痛苦) just?to?be a few centimeters taller.?I?don’t even bother?to?wear shoes with thick soles, as?I’m not trying?to?hide the fact that?I?am just not tall! It seems?to?me that there is a trend toward wanting “perfection”, and that is an ideal that just does not exist in reality.

No one is born perfect, yet magazines, TV shows and movies present images?of?thin, tall, beautiful people as being the norm. Advertisements for slimming aids, beauty treatments and cosmetic surgery clinics fill the pages?of?newspapers, further creating an idea that “perfection” is a requirement, and that it must be purchased, no matter what the cost. In?my?opinion, skills, rather than appearance, should determine how successful a person is in his chosen career.

32.We can know from the passage that the author works as ______.

A. a doctor????????????? B. a model????????????? C. a teacher???????????? D. a reporter

33..Many graduates today turn?to?cosmetic(美容） surgery?to______.

A. marry a better man\woman B. become
