四、阅读理解 （共8小题；每小题2分，满分16分）
A
When you are in another country, it is important to know the language, but it is equally important to know how to communicate nonverbally(不用语言地). Before saying anything, people communicate nonverbally by making gestures. According to an investigation(调查), only 30 to 35 percent of our communication is verbal. When people don’t know the language, the most common way to communicate is through gestures. However, many gestures have different meanings, or no meaning at all, in different parts of the world.
In the United States, for example, nodding your head up and down means “yes”. In some parts of Greece and Turkey, however, this motion can mean “no”. In southeast Asia, nodding your head is a polite way of saying “I’ve heard you”.
In ancient Rome, when the emperor wanted to spare someone’s life, he would put his thumb up. Today in the United States, when someone puts his/her thumb up, it means “Everything is all right.” However, in Sardinia and Greece, the gesture is insulting and should not be used there.
In the United States, raising your clasped(握紧的) hands above your head means “I’m the champion” or “I’m the winner”. It is the sign prizefighters make when they win a fight. When a leading Russian statesman(政治家) made his gesture after a White House meeting, Americans misunderstood and thought he meant he was a winner. In Russia, however, it is a sign of friendship.
There are other nonverbal signals that people should be aware of when they go to another country, such as the distance to maintain between speakers. Americans stand closer to each other than English people. English people don’t like touching somebody
or being touched. Now in America, touch is important. Friends touch each other on the arm, for example. They often put an arm around a friend when they say “hello” or “goodbye”.
41. It is very important to know how to communicate nonverbally when you are in another country because______.
A. most people speak different languages
B. much of our communication is nonverbal on many occasions
C. people usually make gestures before saying anything
D. it’s easy to learn how to express oneself through gestures
42. If a native in Singapore nods his head up and down when you talk to him, his motion means“______”.
A. yes B. no
C. that’s all right D. I’ve heard you
43. When the Russian leader put up his clasped hands after the meeting at the White House______.
A. he meant Russia was the winner
B. he was insulting America
C. he made a show of friendship to America
D. he in fact meant nothing at all
44. The gesture of putting one’s thumb up shouldn’t be used when you are travelling in______.
A. Italy B. the United States
C. Greece D. Southeast Asia
B
There is an English saying, “Laughter is the best medicine.” Until recently, few people took the saying seriously. Now, however, doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body. They have found that laughter can really improve people’s health.
Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films while doctors checked their heart, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise. It increases blood pressure, the heart beating and breathing; it also works several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach, and even the feet. If laughter exercises the body, it must be beneficial.
Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effects of pain on the body. In one experiment, doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs. The group that tolerated the pain for the longest time was the group which listened to a funny program. The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemicals in the brain which decrease both stress and pain.
As a result of these discoveries, some doctors in the United States now hold laughter clinics, in which they help to improve their patients’ condition by encouraging them to laugh. They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing, making them smile is enough to produce beneficial effects similar to those caused by laughter.
45. We learn from the first paragraph that laughter______.
A. is good for one’s health
B. is related to some illness
C. has been investigated
D. has no effect on the body
46. Which of the following statements is NOT true of laughter according to the passage?
A. It reduces pain. B. It exercises the body.
C. It reduces stress. D. It can cure cancer.
47. In a laughter clinic, doctors______.
A. laugh at their patients
B. encourage their patients to laugh
C. smile when they don’t feel like laughing
D. never stop laughing
48. What is the writer’s attitude towards laughter?
A. Critical. B. Doubtful. C. Positive. D. Negative.
