When Nancy Lublin got $5,000 from her grandpa in 1996, she never once considered taking a vacation or paying off student loans .Instead, the 24-year-old New York University law student began thinking about helping low-income women get better jobs. "If a woman goes for a job interview poorly dressed, she won't get the job." Lublin says. “ but without a job, she can't afford suitable clothes."

So with the money Lublin founded "Dress for Success” and began collecting women's clothes which were still in good condition but which their owners no longer needed. "So many women have clothes lying around that they will never wear again," one of Lublin's assistants says "Nancy's idea is so simple and yet so important to women."

Many women come to Lublin's office before going to a job interview. Here, they receive a suit, shoes and any other things they need. Since it was set up, more than 1,000 women have turned to "Dress for Success" for help. Many of them have won jobs. Some have round jobs after being out of work for many years. Jenny, a 32-year-old woman who was recently hired as a law-firm office manager , says, "I made a good impression because of “Dress for Success”

It’s natural to greet friends with a smile and a wave. ___1.____ But what happens if your face and body send mixed messages? Would someone be more likely to believe the look on your face or the way you hold your body?

Scientists have recently tackled these questions. They found that when a person is looking at your face, she might not believe what she sees of your body language doesn’t match the feeling that your face shows. ___2.____ Previously, they had found that the tone of a person’s voice can be more important than the words that are spoken. For example, most people tend not to believe a person who says in a flat voice, “I’m so excited.”

When it came to emotions conveyed by facial expressions and body language, most scientists suspected that the face was more important. To test if this was true, psychologists from the Netherlands and Boston showed people a number of pictures of isolated(孤立的) faces and isolated bodies(with faces blurred out (模糊的))that showed anger or fear. 3.____

An angry face had low eyebrows and tight lips. A scared face had high eyebrow and a slightly open mouth. 4.___ A scared body had arms forward and shoulders square, as if ready to defend.

These results told the researchers that mixed signals can confuse people. Even when people pay attention to the face, body language subtly(微妙地) influences which emotion they read.

___ 5.____And if you want to be understood, it helps to avoid sending mixed messages.

A.Scientists feel new to study the mixed message that confuses people.

B.When you do this, your face and body work together to show your friends that you’re happy to see them.

C. Studying such mixed messages is nothing new for scientists..

D.They also showed pictures in which angry or scared faces were paired with angry or scared bodies

E.Body language can sometimes be misunderstood in different culture backgrounds.

F.So, your body language is important for telling people how you feel.

G.An angry body had arms back and shoulders at an angle, as if ready to fight.

科目:高中英語 來源:2015屆湖南益陽箴言中學(xué)高三上第三次模擬英語試卷(解析版) 題型:其他題

Society is a web of relationships, requiring all parties to work together to create something good. What makes society work best are effective relationships that are based on mutual(相互的) understanding. If you understand what people want and why they want it, you can usually find a way to make progress together.

High-quality relationships make people happy. Some people living in the poorest communities have almost nothing but turn out to be the happiest because they share a life, together. If effective relationships are working, happiness is always possible.

Here are some simple tips for building effective relationships.

Listen to and try to understand others' positions and feelings. Listening in itself can lead to understanding, and if you understand someone else fully, then you know how to work better with him or her.

Openly express your needs and feeling. Sometimes we expect people particularly those close to us at home or work to understand what we want and to give us what we need intuitively (憑直覺地). However, people are so complicated and so different that even when they have lived together for 60 years, they can still surprise each other. So we need to say what we need and to express how we feel.

In order to make our relationships more effective, we should treat ourselves and other people with respect. Respect is one of the most important elements of any good relationship.

Finally, learn to face differences in a correct way. Learning this takes time and can be uncomfortable. However, if we can try to remove differences in an effective way, we are more likely to build exciting and satisfying relationships with others.

By doing these things you may discover that the happiness you long for is much closer than you thought.

科目:高中英語 來源:2015屆福建莆田第八中學(xué)高三上第一次月考英語試卷(解析版) 題型:閱讀理解

Three months after the government stopped issuing(發(fā)放) or renewing permits for Internet cafes because of security (安全) concerns, some café owners are having financial(經(jīng)濟(jì)的) concerns of their own.

The permits were stopped suddenly three months ago by the . government until new safeguards could be put in place to prevent misuse of the information superhigh­way, but for cafe owners it’s a business breakdown with no fix in sight.

“I handed in a request to open up an Internet cafe and received the conditions. ” said the businessman Obeidallah. “I rented a place in the Sharafiah district at SR45, 000 and prepared the place with equipment that cost me more than SRI 00,000. When I went to the local government after finishing everything, I was surprised to find that they’d stopped issuing permits for Internet cafes. ”

Having an Internet cafe without Internet is much like having a coffee shop with­out coffee. "I’m avoiding closing the place, but it's been more than three months with the situation ongoing as it is,” Obeidallah said “Who will bear the losses caused by the permit issue?”

The decision took many cafe owners by surprise. “I asked to open an Internet ca­fe, and I was handed a list of all the things that were needed to follow through, such as a sign for the place filling out forms,” said Hassan Al-Harbi.

“I did all that was asked and rented a place . And after the Haj vacation I went to the local government and they surprised me , saying that there are new rules that forbid the issuing of any more Internet cafe permits and that one can't even renew his permit. I’ve lost more than SR80,000, "Al-Harbi added.

As for the government, officials say a method to deal with it is on the way, but security concerns come before profit (盈利).

1.The government stopped issuing or renewing permits for Internet cafes ____

A. to prevent misuse of new safeguards in Internet cafes.

B. to make cafe owners earn less profit from their business.

C. to stop the use of the information superhighway on Internet.

D. to make sure of the proper use of the information superhighway.

2.The government’s decision led to the fact that many cafe owners ____.

A. suffered heavy financial losses

B. asked to open up Internet cafes

C. continued to operate Internal cafes

D. asked the government for payment.

3.The underlined phrase in the last paragraph “on the way” means ____.

A. to be studied

B. to be put into practice.

C. to be changed

D. to be improved

4.The cafe owners found the governments decision ____.

A. surprising and unacceptable

B. understandable and acceptable

C. reasonable but surprising

D. surprising but acceptable
