Lester was walking in the street with a huge box. A stranger walked up to him and asked, “Have you got the time?”

Lester stopped, put down the box, looked at his watch and said, “It’s 5:45.”

“Hey, what a nice watch!” said the stranger.

Lester smiled and said, “It’s very special.” Then he pressed a button and a voice told the time in Chinese. Lester continued, “It can ‘speak’ many languages.” The stranger seemed very interested in the watch. Lester then pressed another button and a small map appeared on the watch.

“I want to buy your watch!” said the stranger.

“Oh, no, I’m not selling it,” said Lester.

“I’ll give you $1,000!”

“Oh, no.”

“I’ll give you $5,000!” The stranger quickly took much money out of his bag and said. “Here is the money. Take it or leave it.”

Finally, Lester took off the watch and gave it to the stranger. When the stranger was about to leave, Lester pointed to the huge box and said, “Don’t forget your battery (電池).”

根據(jù)材料內(nèi)容,從下面五個選項中選出能填入文中空缺處的最佳選項,使短文意思通順、內(nèi)容完整,并將其標號填寫在下面題號后的橫線上。

Jan Hargrave is a body language expert in America. I was very pleased to hear Jan Hargrave’s speak the other day. 1. For the most part, we all have the ability to tell when people are lying to us by reading their tone (音調(diào)) of voice and body signals.

It was Professor Albert Mehrabian who discovered that we express our feelings and attitudes with 55 percent body language, 38 percent tone of voice and only 7 percent actual words. In other words, if I asked you how you were doing and you said “fine”, that word wouldn’t mean anything by itself. 2.

So, can you tell when people are lying to you? Jan Hargrave says we lie with the right side of our brains, so it is our left hand that tips us off. A person touching his nose, pulling at his ear or rubbing his eyes with his left hand might be lying to you. 3.

Here are some things we do to shut people out. We continually look at our watch. We fail to make eye contact. We fail to look up from the paper or away from the TV. 4.

By paying attention, we can open these important lines of communication (溝通渠道) and see the truth more clearly. 5. We need to realize the signals we are giving so we can show people that they really matter to us.

A. Our body is leaning (傾斜) away from them.

B. She explained that although our mouths may lie, our bodies do not.

C. I think it would be a mistake to use these tools to control or lie to people.

D. Also, a person who, in a way crosses fingers might just be lying.

E. It would be your body signals and how you said it that would let me know how you were really doing.
