26、Body Language in the United States
Most people shake hands and make eye contact when they meet people for the first time. Among very good friends, a woman may give another woman a little hug, and a man may kiss a woman quickly on the cheek. Males don’t hug one another, which, however, is changing. Men usually shake hands with the right hand. Sometimes they use the left hand to either cover the handshake or lightly hold the other persons arm. This shows greater warmth and friendship. What’s more, most people wave hello or good-bye. This is important to know because in many other countries, the same movements mean “no”.
When people are waiting in a public place, such as the post office, they usually form lines. Some people get angry and complain if someone jumps ahead of other people. Moreover, many women like men to open doors for them. They also like men to give up their seats on public transportation. However, some women do not like this type of behavior. They feel that men and women should be treated in the same way.
In the United States, it’s important to make direct eye contact in business and social situations. If you don’t make eye contact, people will probably think that you are bored or not interested. If there is silence in these situations, people usually try to make conversation. People in the United States usually stand about one arm’s length away from each other while talking or standing together. This space is called “the comfort zone”.
In the United States, mothers sometimes show that they are angry with children by shaking an index finger (食指) at them. People may show that they like children by patting them on the head.
【1】It can be inferred from Paragraph I that in the United State ________.
A.males begin to hug each other now

28、 Elizabeth Bishop is considered one of the best American poets of the 20th century. She was born in Worcester, Massachusetts in 1911. Her dad died when she was just a baby and her mom never recovered from the loss; she went to live with her grandparents in Nova Scotia, Canada when she was five. Eventually Bishop attended Vassar College, where she began to write poetry.
At Vassar she discovered Marianne Moore's poetry and met “Ms. Moore” and began their life-long friendship. She later met poet Robert Lowell. She wrote tons and tons of letters to both of them, which is good for us because we would otherwise know very little of her personal life. Bishop's poetry is sometimes considered objective and cold because it shows almost nothing about the poet or her life.
Bishop published her first book of poetry in 1946 and wrote until her death in 1979. She would spend years working on a single poem. Her poems are not the result of hasty scribbling (匆忙乱写) on paper while eating breakfast. Over a lifetime of writing, she only published about 275 pages of poetry, and about 40 of those are translations. She would look through drafts of poems again and again and improve them until they were as close to perfect as she could get them.
Reading Elizabeth Bishop is like being transported to the very place, the very moment she’s writing about. She leads us to a microscope so we can see every smallest part of the scene. It seems she's always asking us to notice more, and more until the poem is so clear in our minds that it’s almost painful — like a light that's too bright. It might take your eyes a while to get used to it, but once they do, you'll like what you see.
【1】What do we know about Bishop's early life?
A.She started to write poems at five.
B.She was always encouraged by her parents.
C.She spent her childhood mainly in Worcester.
D.She was mainly brought up by her grandparents.
【2】What can we say about Bishop's poetic creation?
A.She liked to write in the morning.
B.She could write poems at high speed.
C.She tried her best to achieve perfection.
D.She published hundreds of books of poetry.
【3】Which can be used to describe the style of Bishop's poems?
A.Exact. B.Informal.
C.Humorous. D.Enthusiastic.

THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE
In Congress, July 4, 1776
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another, and to assume among the Powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s god entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should d【1】 the causes which impel them to the separation.
We h【2】 these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created e【3】, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable R【4】, that among these are life, L【5】, and the pursuit of Happiness.
That to secure these rights, g 【6】 are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.
That whenever any form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the P 【7】 to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, l【8】 its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such f【9】, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience has shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariable the same Object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their d 【10】, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

41、请阅读下面短文,然后按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。
Chinese government released an artificial intelligence development plan in 2017, calling on primary and middle schools to promote coding (编程) education, preparing kids for the future artificial intelligence (AI) development. In response to the policy, coding and programming education have exploded amongst Chinese young students creating a large-scale market worth 3 to 4 billion yuan, according to a report released by iReserach in 2018. In contrast to the upward developing trend, Xia Lixin, vice president of Central China Normal University cautions that the industry is facing many problems, including how to evaluate trainers, assess teaching effects and develop effective courses. Programming teachers for children requires not only professional proficiency but also basic teaching skills, Xia noted. In addition, it’s better to guide students hand in hand rather than via video. | At an after-school training center. Son: I don’t want to sign up for any more classes. I am already juggling piano, calligraphy and English lessons. Mother: Piano lessons are out. Coding is the new trend now. It helps with enrollment (录取). A lot of schools value such skills. Son: But I don’t know a thing about coding. What if I’m not interested? Mother: A lot of your peers are taking programming lessons. I bet you will develop an interest. Just give it a try. Son: F-i-n-e. |
