A smile is a natural reaction to a positive moment, like a friendly face, or a clever joke. Most babies first smile between six and eight weeks old. At first, it is only an expression made when excursing their facial muscles or passing wind. But once they realize a smile gets them a lot of attention, huge smiles in return, happy noises, extra treats, they learn to try it again. And why wouldn't they? It takes forty-three muscles to frown, but only seventeen to smile. We smile when we are happy. We smile when we see people we know. But what happens when you are not happy to see someone you know? You smile any way. You fake a smile. Unfortunately, however, a fake smile never looks quite the same as the real one. In a genuine smile, you not only show your lower teeth, but also move the muscles running all the way around the mouth which in turn makes the skin around the eyes become tighter. And then your smile is real. However, when someone smiles politely, rather than because they really want to, they use the muscle, which only raises the size of the mouth, and which does not move the muscles at the corner of the eyes. This kind of fake smile is sometimes refer to as the "Pan-Am Smile". As it is named, after the former airline whose flight attendants welcomed every passenger with the same force smile.According to the talk, what is a smile?(2).A.

It has been so cold that I haven't been outside for a week. I do hate the cold.M: Yes. It's best to stay indoors in such beastly weather. But I am afraid I have no idea about the oncoming concert. You noticed our new neighbors who have arrived at No. 35 though. Surely, perhaps they knew something.W: Well. I called on them yesterday. They seem such nice people at first but now I am not so sure. M: Really? Why?W: Well. They are from London and they think it's the only place in the world worth talking about it. The wife made some very catty remarks about this area.M: Londoners always think they are always better than other people, but I always find them less cultured. What does she look like?W: Quite young and pretty. But she does wear a lot of make-up and she certainly dyes her hair. Perhaps she isn't as young as she looks.M: Anyway.

Because their ability to reason overshadows their anxiety for the test.C. Because they cannot sleep well the night before the actual test.D. Because they cannot get necessary assistance from other students.（分数：2.00）A. √B.C.D.解析：[听力原文]Most people are too anxious during tests. Their anxiety overshadows or even interferes with their ability to reason and makes them less efficient than normal. As a result, they score far lower than they should. This is an unnecessary handicap. Especially if you are a student, who is going to spend 12-16 years or more taking tests. The solution of course is to learn the rules and techniques of successful test taking. Success builds assurance and confidence which in turn frees you to perform better and better. Once you realize that eight tenths of your score depends on the way you take a test, it becomes obvious that learning rules of the test-taking game is crucial. It is not complicated. You do not have to be clever, brilliant or dishonest to do it. It is just a matter of observation and practice. Oddly, most people have not really thought much about what it means to make, give and take tests. Once you see tests are school games that have actual little meaning in the real world. Once you realize the game has a format that can be recognized, rules that can be mastered, playing strategies that can be learned, it can become as entertaining as crossword puzzle. Mastering test-taking, like learning to absorb and retrieve from information, is part of process of educating yourself, so the effort will not be wasted or pointless. Figuring out tests is a problem-solving experience and developing confidence to recognize and solve problems is not just a school game but a true educational activity.Why do many students score far lower than they should in the test?(2).A.
