七选五 1.It’s natural to greet friends with a smile and a wave. ____1__But what happens if your face and body send mixed messages? Would someone be more likely to believe the look on your face or the way you hold your body?Scientists have recently tackled these questions. They found that when a person is looking atyour face, she might not believe what she sees of your body language doesn’t match the feeling that your face shows. 2 Previously, they had found that the tone of a person’s voice can be more important than the words that are spoken. For example, most people tend not to believe a person who says in a flat voice, “I’m so excited.”When it came to emotions conveyed by facial expressions and body language, most scientists suspected that the face was more important. To test if this was true, psychologists from the Netherlands and Boston showed people a number of pictures of isolated faces and isolated bodies(with faces blurred out)that showed anger or fear. ___3____An angry face had low eyebrows and tight lips. A scared face had high eyebrow and a slightly open mouth. ____4____ A scared body had arms forward and shoulders square, as if ready to defend.These results told the researchers that mixed signals can confuse people. Even when people pay attention to the face, body language subtly influences which emotion they read.5 And if you want to be understood, it helps to avoid sending mixed messages.A. Studying such mixed messages is nothing new for scientists.B. So, your body language is important for telling people how you feel.C.Scientists feel new to study the mixed message that confuses people.D.An angry body had arms back and shoulders at an angle, as if ready to fight.E.Body language can sometimes be misunderstood in different culture backgrounds.F.When you do this, your face and body work together to show your friends that you’re happy to see them.G.They also showed pictures in which angry or scared faces were paired with angry or scared bodies.2.Dear Seth,You’re only three years old, and at this point in your life you can’t read, much less understand what I’m going to try to tell you in this letter.

It normally occurs every four years，always on an even-numbered year．The extra day is added to our shortest month. That is the second month ofthe year, which in non-leap years has 28 days, two fewer than any other month． 1 We also call Leap year the bissextile year． 2 In our calendar systemthere is a need for a leap year because the so1ar year (the time it takes the earthto go around the sun once)is actually slightly more than 365 days long. That extra day—Feb 29 every four years—helps correct the difference between our calendarand the solar calendar．It is said that Leap year was first made part of the calendar by the ancient Roman leader Julius Caesar. His astronomers had calculated the length of the solaryear to be 365 days and six hours．So Caesar declared that an extra day be addedto the calendar． 3 However，Caesar’s adjustment was not completely accurate because his astronomers’year exceeded the true solar year by eleven minutes and fourteen seconds. By 1582, a difference of ten days had developed between the calendar year and the true solar year. To correct this error，Pope Gregory X IIIruled that every fourth year would continue to be a leap year except for centuryyears that could not be divided evenly by 400. By this system，century years suchas 1700，1800，and 1900 were not leap years，but the year 2000 was a leap year． 4 People born on Feb 29 celebrate their growing up a little differently fromthe rest of us. They have only one-fourth as many birthday celebrations as most people.5 But if they go strictly by the calendar, they have only one-fourthas many birthday celebrations as most people.A．They acknowledge that they get older each year.B．when you see Feb 29 on a calendar, you know that year is a leap year.C．This is its formal, or scientific title.D．This may seem complicated, but it works．E. In a leap year, the extra day is added to the second month, giving it 29 insteadof the usual 28 days．F. The leap year was introduced in the Julian calendar in 46 BC.G．This is done every four years.4.Why is setting goals important? 1 Instead of just letting life happen to you, goals allow you to make your life happen.Successful people imagine how their life should be and set lots of goals.2 .It’s like having a map to show you where you want to go.
