You don’t have to be a weatherman to tell people about the weather.If you notice the animals,the sky and the world around you,you can predict weather on your own.

Examine the moon or sun,but do not look at the sun directly or it will hurt your eyes seriously.If you see a ring around the sun or moon,then warm weather follows.A golden ring around the moon warns us that a storm is on the way.A watery yellow sunset is a sign that rain may be near.Feel the direction of the wind.A wind blowing from the east shows that a storm will probably happen.A wind from the west means a sunny day.Monitor the clouds.There are three things about clouds you should look for:movement,color,and change.As a rule,the higher the clouds,the better the weather.And the lower the clouds,the worse the weather will be.

The rainbow has a message,too.If you see the sun in the east and a rainbow in the west,the rain may be coming your way.If the sun is in the west and the rainbow is in the east,the rain will be moving away from you.Look at your shoes as you walk through the grass in the morning.If the grass is wet with dew(露珠),then you can expect dry weather.But if the grass is dry,then it will be wise of you to take your umbrella.

A. 觀察 B. 研究 C. 預測 D. 改善

To encourage reading,a Chinese company placed over 10,000 books around the underground,in taxis and on planes in Beijing,Shanghai and Guangzhou.The activity earned the support of many Chinese stars.The “book-dropping battle”,however,won little praise.Instead,the movement drew much criticism(批評).

Some books were left untouched.Around the underground,passengers thought the books were left there to save the seats.Some books were taken away by cleaners.People also complained that they couldn’t get to the books—the carriages were too crowded.

The movement led to a hot debate.

Most people thought it could do little to encourage reading.“I think the best result is that people take selfies(自拍)when they pick up the books and write a post in WeChat.After that,they will just bring the books back home and place them on their bookshelves,” wrote one Weibo user.

Some pointed out that while Watson was a great reader,the Chinese stars who supported the movement didn’t seem to be reading much.Isn’t it embarrassing that the movement is supported by stars who don’t read a lot?

Murong Xuecun is a famous Chinese writer.He thought the book-sharing campaign was not at all a bad thing.“In the past years,the Chinese economy(經(jīng)濟)has been developing rapidly.Everybody is busy with work.They don’t have time for reading,” said Murong.“However,just because Chinese people don’t read regularly,it doesn’t mean we should do nothing to encourage reading,” Murong added.

1.What’s the purpose of the “book-dropping battle”?

A. To encourage people to read.

B. To test how much people like reading.

C. To find out if people give back the books.

D. To encourage people to take public transport.

2.What result of “book-dropping battle” isn’t mentioned in the passage?

A. Some books were thought to save the seats.

B. Some books were taken away by cleaners.

C. People couldn’t get to the books because of the crowds.

D. Some people thought it affected the traffic.

3.The underlined word “debate” means in the passage.

A. 閱讀 B. 爭論 C. 興趣 D. 風氣

4.The fourth paragraph mainly tells us .

A. “book-dropping battle” works little

B. most people like taking selfies

C. people prefer reading in WeChat

D. Weibo users prefer reading books

5.What is Murong Xuecun’s idea about “book-dropping battle”?

A. Book-sharing campaign may affect the economy.

B. Chinese people are too busy to read books.

C. We shouldn’t give up encouraging reading.

People can’t see you when you’re speaking on the phone, but they can hear you. So, the way you speak is especially important. In fact, researchers have calculated that 80% of communication over the phone is through your tone of voice; and only 20% is from the words you use. Here are our top tips on how to speak over the phone.

1. Facial Expressions

Your facial expression can influence your voice. For example, if you smile, your voice will sound warm and friendly, just the opposite, if you have an angry look on your face, it can make you sound unpleasant.

2. Volume

If you speak too loudly, you could sound angry. And if you speak too softly, it’ll be difficult to hear you. So, speak loudly enough to be heard clearly, but not so loud that you’re shouting.

3. Pace

The pace of your voice is how quickly you speak. And this can show how you feel. For example, an angry person might speak faster than normal. Or a downhearted person might speak very slowly. Try speaking a little more slowly than normal. This will make you sound confident, and it’ll make it easier for the other person to understand you.

4. Gestures

Gesturing can influence the tone of your voice. When you gesture, you bring more air into the lungs, which can make your voice sound warmer. Gestures are also useful to help you stress the right words or even find the words you need. The best thing about gesturing during a phone call is that no one can see what you’re doing, so you can gesture as wildly as you like!

5. Movement

If you’re feeling nervous, stand up and move around. It will reduce the nervousness in your body and help your voice to sound more confident.

6. Pauses (停頓)

Using pauses every now and then can help you to slow down. This will make you sound more confident and in control. Also, if you pause after giving some new information, it’ll give the other person time to understand it. At the same time, listen to how the other person uses pauses. They could tell you something about the speaker’s feeling. For example, when a speaker is really angry, he might use pauses and says, “I... am... so... angry...”

1.How much of telephone communication is from the words you use?

A. 20%. B. 40%. C. 60%. D. 80%.

2.What can people do to reduce their nervousness on the phone?

A. Gesture wildly. B. Move around. C. Raise their voices. D. Make facial expressions.

3.How can pauses help people talk on the phone?

A. The speaker can show he is friendly. B. The speaker can tell more information.

C. The listener will feel confident and in control. D. The listener will have time to understand the words.

4.What is the passage mainly about?

A. How to control the speed of your speech. B. Different good ways of talking on the phone.

C. Reasons of making gestures while talking. D. How to improve communication among friends.

5.What is the writer’s opinion about telephone talk?

A. Your voice on the phone will show what you’re feeling.

B. Using too many pauses while talking will annoy others.

C. Speaking loudly makes it easier for others to understand you.

D. The words you use are more important than the way you speak.
