It was a smile.It was the early autumn of my first year at a junior high school, and my old school was far away. As a result, no one knew who I was. I was very lonely, and afraid to make friends with anyone.Every time I heard the other students talking and laughing, I felt my heart break. I couldn’t talk to anyone about my problem, and I didn’t want my parents to worry about me.Then one day, my classmates talked happily with their friends, but I sat at my desk unhappily as usual. At that moment, a boy entered the classroom. I didn’t know who he was. He passed me and then turned back. He looked at me and,, without a word, smiled.Suddenly, I felt the touch of something bright and friendly. It made me feel happy,, lively and warm.One day, I asked him why he smiled, but he couldn’t remember smiling at me.It doesn’t matter because all the dark days have gone. Now I believe that the world is what you think it is. If you think you are lonely, you might always be alone. So smile at the world and it will smile back.32 The important gift was ______.A an ideaB a talkC a friendD a smile33 The writer felt ______ at the beginning of her junior high school.A sadB sorryC lonelyD tired34 She couldn’t tell anyone in her class about her problem becauseA She was new in the class.B She had no friends thereC She was afraid to make friends.D She didn’t want to ask for help.35 The smile made the writer _______.A change her lifeB study betterC work betterD like her school36 From the story we learnt that______.A we will be happy if we talk to others.B we can bring happiness to strangersC our happiness comes from others’help.D our happiness depends on ourselves.Passage3Do you use hand gestures when you talk? Do you open your mouth and eyes wide when you are surprised? These are all examples of body language. How important can it be?Your mother asks, “How did you exam go, sweety?”“Really well!”You say, excitedly giving a “V” sign with your right hand, The gesture shows yiu did well in the exam.Body language does not use words. It uses the movement or position of your body to show certain meanings.According to American scientist Edward T. Hall, in a conversation between two people, 65 percent of communication is body language. In some cases you even express yourself without words. For example, your friend asks you to join him in a picnic. You give him an “OK”gesture to say, “Yes, sounds great!” Sometimes, your words say one thing, but your body language says another. You may do thingsunconsciously（无意识地）like touching your face while telling a lie.In different cultures, the same body language means different things. In the U.S.,making eye contact with someone means you are interested in what the person is saying. While in some Asian countries, it is rude to look into a person’s eyes during a conversation.Sometimes, different body language expresses the same meaning. Take “hello”for example. French people kiss cheeks to say hello. Japanese people bow Maoris(毛利人)in New Zealand, however, touch noses in greeting.What are you trying to say?Body language is important for teenagers. Understanding this language helps you to communicate better with others.37 People use hand gestures to ________.A tell storiesB say “hello”C give opinionsD express themselves38 How many kinds of body languages are mentioned in the passage?A ThreeB FourC FiveD Six39 People have ________ to express the same meaning of “hello”.A different ideasB several waysC new waysD many words40 The passage is about ________.A hand gesturesB gesture languageC body languageD special language41 The writer wrote this passage for people’s ________.A language learningB friend makingC culture understandingD better communicationB阅读短文，根据短文内容，从所给的六个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，使短文意思完整，连贯。
