It just 49 that speaking and listening helps the children to have discussions.”The move had mixed review（评价不一）, with some parents 50the signs, saying "it's about time" and others showing disapproval.Danielle Parker, a parent, said: “I think they need to be up because everyone picks their kids up on their phones.

Each passage isfollowed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.（A）Whether the hair is long or short, it must be regularly brushed and regularly washed. For greasy hair, especially if the owner lives in a town, it may be necessary to wash the head every two or three days. Those with dry hair can usually go a little longer, but this is a matter for the individual to decide.If a woman is not able to go to hairdressers very often, it is important that she chooses a style she can easily manage for herself, and this always means that the first cut must be very standard.One thing should be remembered though, that is , whatever you apply to the head can have some effect upon the skin, therefore, anything strong should be used with care, or you may use milder products. As for style, this must be studiedaccording to what is the latest fashion and also suit the individual at different times of his or her life.Young people who have spots of skin troubles on their faces, should take particular care to ensure that the hair is both clean and does not come into contact with the affected piece of skin. Hair is very difficult to keep completely clean, therefore, anyone running their hands through their hair and afterwards touching their face, or letting their fall over their faces, might spread infection（传染）from one place to another. Good hair does a lot to the effect of a face, so if you want to look charming, please start with your hair.71.According to thetext, the most basic thing to do in hair care is .A. to go to hairdressers very oftenB. to choose better milderproducts for the hairC. to wash and brush the hair regularlyD. to keep the hairaway from the skin trouble72.The thing you wash your hairwith must be .A. used with careB. very strongC. extremely mildD. fashionable73.To prevent the hair from infecting the skin, we’d better .A. keep the hair completely cleanB. wash the hair very oftenC. have hair cut four times a yearD.avoid combing the hair with our hands 74.“Those withdry hair can usually go a little longer” means if yourhair is dry. .A. you can walk longerB. your hair can grow longerC. you don’t have to wash it as oftenD. you can grow taller（B）What Hillary Clinton’s Body Language Said About Her EmailControversy.Recently, Hillary Clinton became the first female candidate to be nominated（提名）for President of the United States by a major political party. Just a little more than one year ago, however, she faced repeated questions about her use of a private email server for official communicationswhile serving as . Secretary of State（国务卿）.Christopher Hadnagy, a body languageexpert and author of Unmasking the SocialEngineer, said that Clinton’s discomfortwith the topic was clear,especially at a 20-minute pressconference（新闻发布会）held at the UnitedNations building in New York City in March2015. As she faced reporters, Clinton repeatedly insisted she did nothing wrong. But according to Hadnagy, underneath that was a certain level of nervousnessindicated by her nonverbal actions.“I don’t know if we have enough to say she is lying or telling the truth, but enough to show a high level of discomfort,”said Hadnagy. Here is his in-depth analysis of the press conference.At the beginning of the press conference, Clinton was asked if it was a“mistake”for her to conduct her government work ona private email. She licked her lips, whichindicated“uncertainty.”As the reporter’s questioning continued, Clinton shrugged her shoulders and said she would direct her lawyer to“provide anything that could be connectingto work.”The shrug also made it seem likeshe was not sure about that claim.While stating whether the emailcontroversy would affect the timeline ofher 2016 campaign, Clinton had a nervouslaugh.Then she folded her hands and hid her thumbs. All the actions were a display of“a low level of confidence.”As Clinton faced an aggressive question from another reporter who insisted she violated State Department（国务院）guidelines, she fidgeted（摆弄）with her notes. This was an action“caused by nervousness, discomfort or a need to relax”, according to his book.75.Accordingto the article, all the following statements are true EXCEPT that .A.Hillary Clinton is the first female nominee for President ofthe United StatesB.Clinton’s body language at the press conference showed herdiscomfortC.some aggressive reporters attended the press conferenceD.Hadnagy was sure Clinton was telling lies at the pressconference76.A ccording to Hadnagy’s analysis of the press conference,Hillary Clinton seemed to beher email controversy.A. guilty inB. dissatisfied withC. concerned aboutD. indifferent to77.W hat can we infer from the passage?A.Hillary Clinton enjoyed the press conference on her ongoingemail controversy.B.Hillary Clinton will lose the election to be the first femalepresident of the USA.C.Hadnagy analyzed Clinton’s uneasiness through her nonverbalactions in his book.D.Hillary Clinton lied about having sent classified emails fromher private server.78.T he article was probably published in .A. a politics textbookB. a business magazineC. a psychology journal（杂志）D. a financial newspaper（C）The Power of the Power PoseDo you want to feel more powerful and seem more powerful to others? Try standing like Wonder Woman: hands on hips, feet wide apart, shoulders back, and staring confidently forward.It’s not a joke. The Wonder Woman power pose is now being considered a shortcut（捷径）for any woman feeling less confident. It had its first major boost in a TED talk by Harvard professor Amy Cuddy in 2012, who talked indetail about how standing like the Amazonion princess-warrior and pretending you’re armed with your ownlasso（套索）can tell others that you’re serious and powerful. In her study, standing in that“powerpose”helped people get hired for jobs, simply becausethey looked confident.Ms. Cuddy has found that even just faking a powerpose results in a corresponding（相应的）physical boost.She also noted that the Wonder Womanpose is a dominant stance that both supplies inner power to you and conveys power to others.How does it work? It’s all about taking up as much space as possible, looking big and visible. Being the powerful person in a situation means extending yourself out as much as you can, even if you’re only an ordinary Joe or Jane. Other power poses include rolling your shoulders back and crossing your arms, planting your hand on the table and leaning forward and squinting （眯着眼看） slightly.Perhaps more interesting, however, is the effect that the power pose has on the people doing it. Posture isn’t just a way to communicate to an audience; it’s actually a boost to your own self- confidence. In Ms. Cuddy’s talk, she also mentioned an important chain of events: that our bodies can change our minds, our minds can change our behavior and our behavior can change the outcome of a situation.It’s these non-verbal expressions of dominance and power that influence how we feel about ourselves. So, next time you have to perform under pressure---whether it’s giving a presentation or attending a difficult meeting---find somewhere private and stand like W onder Woman for two minutes. You’ll be amazed at the difference it makes.79.I n Ms. Cuddy’s study, the people taking the power pose gethired for jobs because .A.they leave a good impression on the employeesB.they look more powerful and confidentC.they have better resumes than other candidatesD.they have more work experience80.According to this article, the following poses can help youfeel more confident except .A.roll your shoulders back and cross your armsB.plant your hands on the table and lean forwardC.sit down with hands on your kneesD.put your hands on your hips with feet wide apart81.According to this article, which one of the statements istrue?A.The power pose gives people a mental boost.B.Posture is only a way to communicate with other people.C.A ccording to Ms. Cuddy, our behavior can change our mindsand thus change the result of an event.D.I n a situation where you feel stressed, taking up as muchspace as possible helps you seem more confident.Section C 8%Directions：Read the passage carefully.
