Of course, this is not surprising. Without the nose, We could not breathe or smell. It is the part of the face that gives a person special character. Cyrano de Bergerac said that a large nose showed a great man—courageous, manly, and wise.A famous woman poet wished that she had two noses to smell a rose! Blaise Pascal made an interesting remark about Cleopatra’s nose. If it had been sh orter, he said, it would have changed the whole face of the world!Man’s nose has had an important role in his imagination. Man has referred to the nose in many ways to express his emotions. Expressions dealing with the nose refer to human’s weakness, ang er, pride, jealousy and revenge（报复）.In English there are a number of phrases about the nose. For example, to hold up one’s nose expresses a basic human feeling—pride. People can hold up their noses at people, things, and places.The phrase, to be led ar ound by the nose, shows man’s weakness. A person who is led around by the nose lets other people control him. On the other hand, a person who follows his nose lets his instinct（本能）guide him.There are a number of others. However, it should be as plain as the nose on your face that the nose is more than an organ for breathing and smelling.16、The passage is about ____________.A、an organ, with which people can breathe and smellB、the nose, which gives different and useful expressionsC、the nose giving a person special characterD、the interesting remarks about the nose made by some people17、From the passage we know ___________.A、“Cleopatra’s nose”changed the whole face of the world indeedB、Cleopatra had a strong will to change the whole look of the worldC、Cleopatra’s nose was not shortD、Cleopatra hoped that people would change the whole face of the world18、The nose expresses ______.A、some human weakness or otherB、people’s shortcomingsC、people’s different emotionsD、human feelings in bad sense19、A person who follows his nose _______.A、won’t take others’ adviceB、is easily controlled by othersC、is weak—mindedD、will let his will guide him20、How many expressions about the nose are mentioned in the passage?A、TwoB、ThreeC、FourD、FiveBPerhaps Professor Ray Birdwhistell suggested the most famous theory，the study of body movement. He believes that physical appearance is often culturally programmed. In other words，we learn our looks —— we are not born with them. A baby has generally informed face features.A baby according to Birdwhistell，learns where to set the eyebrows by looking at those around —— family and friends. This helps explain why people of some areas of the United States look so much alike. New Englanders or Southerners have certain common face features that cannot beexplained by genetics (遗传学). The exact shape of the mouth is not set at birth，it is learned after. In fact，the final mouth shape is not formed until well after new teeth are set. For many，this can be well into grown-ups. A husband and wife together for a long time often come to look somewhat alike. We learn our looks from those around us. This is perhaps why in a single country there are areas where people smile more than those in other areas. In the United States，for example，the South is the part of the country where the people smile most frequently. In New England they smile less，and in the western part of New York States still less. Many Southerners find cities such as New York cold and unfriendly，partly because people on Madison Avenue smile less than people on Peachtree Street in Atlanta，Georgia. People in largely populated areas also smile and greet each other in public less than people in small towns do.21.Ray Birdwhistell believes that physical appearance ______.A has little to do with culture B. has much to do with cultureC is ever changingD is different from place to place22.According to the passage，the final mouth shape is formed ______.A. before birthB. as soon as one s teeth are newly setC. sometime after new teeth are setD. around 15 years old23.Ray Birdwhistell can tell what area of the United States a person is from by _____ .A.how much he or she laughsB. how he or she raises his or her eyebrows.C. what he or she likes bestD. the way he or she talks24.People who live ____ are more friendly.A. in largely populated areasB. in New York CityC. in the countryD. in the North25.This passage might have been taken out of a book dealing with _____ .A. physicsB. chemistryC. biologyD. none of the above高三寒假英语作业之英语天天练（21）答案(一). 单项选择1—5 cbddd 6 ---10 dabad 11—15 abcad(二). 阅读理解 16---20 BCCDD 21---25 B C AC D。
