Read the following three posts from the website, if , and answer the questions that follow.
CJ, 31, social worker
I wish I had given the plain-looking guys a second chance while I was at school. I always went for handsome, athletic types. So, where am I today? Married to a good-looking fool. A handsome man who has no heart, no sympathy（同情）, and no love for anyone but himself. I sometimes visit my family back in my hometown and occasionally I run into old classmates --- the plain-looking guys. And what do I see now? Very intelligent, warm, funny men who are everything I want, but will never have in a husband.
Mia, 22, photographer
When I was at school I played in most of the school sports teams. I remember one year our football team had to win the last game to get into the finals. Three minutes of the game left and we needed to score. I got control of the ball and ran towards the goal. Our captain was right next to me shouting “go on, take a shot”. But I panicked and passed the ball to her. She shot and missed. If only I hadn’t passe d the ball. I knew immediately that if I had taken the shot I would have scored. Ever since that game I’ve always taken every opportunity I could.
Ben, 52, mechanic
I wish I had listened to my parents more when I was a teenager. Thinking back, I find they gave me lots of good advice, but I ignored everything they said. I thought they were old and didn’t know anything. Now I have got two teenagers of my own and realize how right they were.
If I had listened to them, I might have made some better decisions in my life. I would have gone to university and probably waited a bit before I got married. I hope my daughters will listen to me more than I listened to my parents.
21．Which of the following might be the best title for the first post?
A．A missed opportunity B．Plain-looking guys
C．Classmates know best D．Beauty is only skin deep
22．When Ben was a teenager, he __________.
A．was determined to go to university
B．often turned to his parents for advice
C．looked up to everything that his parents said
D．thought he could make good decisions for himself
23．According to the passage, what are people most likely to share on the website, if ?
A．Greetings. B．Regrets. C．School life. D．Original ideas
B
About twenty of us had been fortunate enough to receive invitations to a film-studio（影棚）to take part in a crowd-scene. Although our “act” would last only for a short time, we could see quite a number of interesting things.
We all stood at the far end of the studio as workmen prepared the scene, setting up trees at the edge of a winding path. Very soon, bright lights were turned on and the big movie-camera was wheeled into position. The director shouted something to the camera operator and then went to speak to the two famous actors nearby. Since it was hot in the studio, it came as a surprise to us to see one of the actors put on a heavy overcoat and start walking along the path. A big fan began blowing tiny white feathers down on him, and soon the trees were covered in “snow”. Two more fans were turned on, and a “strong wind” blew through the trees. The picture looked so real that it made us feel cold.
The next scene was a complete contrast(对比). The way it was filmed was quite unusual. Pictures in front taken on an island in the Pacific were shown on a glass screen (幕). An actor and actress stood of the scene so that they looked trick like this, palm trees, sandy beaches, as if they were at the water's edge on an island. By a simple and blue, clear skies had been brought into the studio!
Since it was our turn next, we were left wondering what scene would be prepared for us. For a full three minutes in our lives we would be experiencing the excitement of being film “stars”!
24. Who is the author?
A. A cameraman.
B. A film director.
C. A crowd-scene actor
D. A workman for scene setting
25. What made the author feel cold?
A. The heavy snowfall.
B. The man-made scene.
C. The low temperature.
D. The film being shown.
26. What would happen in the "three minutes" mentioned, in the last paragraph?
A. A new scene would be filmed.
B. More stars would act in the film.
C. The author would leave the studio.
D. The next scene would be prepared.
C
Mirroring body language is a way to bond and to build understanding. It is a powerful tool that we use without even knowing it.
The most obvious forms of mirroring are yawning and smiling. When you see someone yawn, you are likely to yawn immediately. Smiling is also pretty contagious-seeing a smiling person makes you want to smile too.
Mirroring body language is a nonverbal way to say “I am like you, I feel the same”. Research shows that people who experience the same feelings are likely to trust, understand and accept each other.
Women have the natural ability to pick up and understand body signals. Therefore, it is not surprising that a woman is more likely to mirror another woman than a man is to mirror another man. That’s why women are regarded as better talkers, even if they might not really have more close friends.
It is interesting that when a man tries to mirror a woman’s body language while she is talking, he may seem to her as caring, intelligent and attractive.
Mirroring body language is an excellent way to build trust and understanding quickly. If you want to set up a connection with a new person, mirror his or her gestures, sitting position, tone of voice and talking pace. This will make them feel that there is something about you that they like.
While mirroring body language gains you acceptance, you still need to take into consideration your relationship with the person you are mirroring. If you are in a lower social position and are mirroring the body language of your boss, he will view you as arrogant. However, if you want to defeat those who are trying to prove superior to you, mirroring their body language will help defeat them and change their position.
27. What does the underlined word “contagious” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Affecting each other.
B. Powerful to show one’s feelings.
C. Attractive to the others.
D. Being gentle to people around.
28. When copying others’ body language, one usually can ______.
A. send wrong messages
B. hide true feelings
C. win others’ acceptance
D. avoid misunderstanding
29. What might happen if you try to mirror your boss’s body language?
A. You will appear very attractive.
B. It will help to soften his position.
C. You will seem unacceptably proud.
D. It will be a good way to build trust.
30. What is the main idea of the text?
A. It is important to copy the others’ gestures.
B. Why women are regarded as better talkers.
C. Men is not good at nonverbal communication.
D. Mirroring body language can be a useful tool.

Li Hua 第二节：读后续写阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

It's a perfect family summer seaside holiday. Occasionally, some white clouds floated across the blue sky. The sandy beach was soft and comfortable. The water was glistening in the morning sunlight and the surf was cool on their feet as Krin and Paula leisurely walked along the water edge. The brother and sister began to make some sandcastles. Not far away, mother sat under a big umbrella, reading a book with a bottle of lemonade in her hand. Father was busy exchanging a few words of greetings with the strangers he met on the beach.
Suddenly, Krin spotted（发现）some pieces of seashells lying scattered on the picturesque beach and small holes stretching along it where the crabs had hidden. He immediately invited Paula to collect shells and search the holes together with him. They were having a ball exploring what appeared to be a never-ending beach.
After a while, they stopped and looked back. Their parents and the umbrellas, beach chairs and crowds were a long way off. But just ahead, hidden among sea grape trees stood run-down house that seemed to be out of repair for years. It appeared to be unoccupied. Curious, they went to investigate.
The front steps to the doorway of the house creaked(嘎吱作响) as they carefully climbed up them, so did the porch when they stepped onto it. The dusty windows and porch railing(门廊栏杆) were badly weathered and broken. The front door was half open so they squeezed（挤进） through and cautiously entered. The place was in a total mess, covered with dust, sand, dead leaves, and overturned furnitur e. They'd taken but a few steps when the door unexpectedly slammed shut behind them.
Scared, Krin and Paula were frozen to the spot. But before they could even utter something like "Oh-oh," the windows abruptly closed, too. And if this wasn't scary enough, the stairs to the second floor creaked loudly. When a light in the back bedroom flickered(摇曳), that was absolutely the final straw.
注意：
1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右；
2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；
Paragraph 1: "Let's get out of here, Paula!" screamed Krin.
________________________________________________________________________ _
Paragraph 2: Out ran they, all the way back to those wonderful umbrellas, beach chairs, and crowds.

they got out of the haunted house.
Paragraph 2: Out ran they, all the way back to those wonderful umbrellas, beach chairs, and crowds.“Did you see what it was?” Paula said to Krin. “whatever it is, I don’t want to go back.” Krin said. Then they calmed down for a while, went back to their parents, and told them about their experience. But the parents just blamed them for their running around without permission and didn’t believe what they said. But in any case, they came to the conclusion that children should not wander into old run-down houses.。
