高一第一学期牛津英语课文Unit oneReadingRead this story in a school newspaper, Debby and Simon are college students.They have part-time jobs at a travel agency. They are sitting in the office.Student stories The City School TimesDebby and Simon looked up as a well-dressed lady entered. The lady glanced at them both, then walked over to Debby. Debby greeted her cheerfully.The lady said, ‘I want to go by train to…’Simon sighed and took some papers over to the fax machine. Mr. Young, a senior employee, was standing there.‘What’s up, Simon? You don’t look very happy.’‘People always prefer Debby to me. I can’t understand it.’‘I can. It’s the way you communicate.’‘How can that be?’ Simon said. ‘I don’t even get a chance to speak to them.’‘Communicating is more than speaking and listening. Your body language is important, too.’‘Body language?’‘It’s the way you stand and sit. It’s your gestures and the expression on your face and in your eyes. Your whole appearance communicates things. The way you look at people doesn’t give them a good impression, Simon. You often rest your head on your hand. You look downwards. You never smile. You don’t turn your head or body towards people.’‘Look at Debby. She’s holding her head up, she looks at people’s eyes. She smiles. Your body language is telling people to go away. Debby’s body language is making them feel welcome. That’s why they go to her for assistance, and not to you.’After that, Simon decided to improve his body language. He sat up and smiled at people. This seemed to work. Minutes later, a very beautiful girl entered. She looked at Debby and then Simon. Without hesitation she went to Simon and gave him a big smile. A few moments later, she left, still smiling.Mr. Young came over at once and remarked, ‘You made a good impression on her.’‘That was my sister’, said Simon, “She wanted to remind me that tomorrow is her birthday.’More readingEye contactEye contact is a form of communication which can mean different things in different cultures. Read this article about eye contact on a website.Throughout the history of mankind, people have communicated with body language. In many situations, the way you say something is far more important than what you say.Eye contact is sometimes the key to communication. It can signal friendliness or hostility, interest or boredom, and understanding or confusion.In western cultures, maintaining eye contact in conversations is necessary. As a matter of fact, awesterner might consider a lack of eye contact as a lack of interest. In Spain, Italy and Greece, where people stand close together talking to each other, eye contact is more frequent and lasts longer.In many Asian cultures, avoiding eye contact shows respect. It is done when talking with anyone in authority or with anyone older.Habits like this can cause problems when people do not understand them. For instance, an Asian might close his eyes in concentration or look down while listening to a speaker. A western speaker might think the man is not interested.Eye contact is a subtle thing. Avoiding eye contact might be considered impolite, but staring at others is also considered rude and should be avoided.U1well-dressed穿着讲究的adjglance匆匆一看vsigh叹气；叹息vsenior级别高的adjemployee职员nprefer宁可；更喜欢v琳琳喜欢流行音乐胜过古典音乐.(prefer … to …)communicate交流v当你难以和父母交流时会感到痛苦吗？(when) 10年春季高考gesture手势nexpression表情nappearance外貌nimpression印象n他在昨天的比赛中的表现给每个球迷留下了深刻的印象。

After shampooing, squeeze out the extra water and apply conditioner. This will make your hair soft and shiny.Hairbrushes and combsThese should be soft enough not to damage your hair. Before shampooing, brush your hair thoroughly. This helps loosen any dirt in your hair. After washing out the shampoo, apply the conditioner and comb it into your hair so that every hair is covered.Towels and hairdryersDry your hair gently with a towel before using the hairdryer. Always set it at a low temperature. Hold it at least 10cm from your hair.Remember not to overuse your hairdryer.

Some people have no hair on the top of their head: they are bald. The important thing is----are you happy with the hair you have? Problem hair is often a result of an unhealthy diet and lifestyle. To ensure your hair looks its best, pay attention to what you eat. Lack of protein and iron makes your hair less shiny. So, you need adequate amounts of green vegetables, fruits and dairy products.
