cosmetics (化妆品), or bringing home a flower, or giving up the control of the remote (遥控器).
And when men do talk, they"d prefer to talk about actions rather than emotions. For example, a lot of men would choose to express their long-range faith in a relationship by talking about next summer"s
vacation plans, not by starting a conversation about undying love.
Men just prefer to say their plans with plane tickets, rather than poetry. It"s one of the reasons why men are more comfortable talking at work (the practical world) than they are at home (the castle that emotion
built). But you can bring out his great communicator by making him feel more like he"s operating in the
work mode, even when the topic at hand is your love life.
When men talk less and women want more, the conflict can escalate. Like when a policeman is
questioning an unwilling witness, more silence equals more questions. A full 65 percent of men we
surveyed recently told us that they don"t want their partners to ask them more questions about themselves.
It"s clear that some men are just tired of feeling like they"re on the witness stand. They"re not necessarily hiding anything; many men simply prefer not to have to tell confusing feelings that they may not even
understand themselves.
An age-old method can make things better: back off a little, give him room to operate in a conversation, and he"s more likely to open up.

movements communicate about 50 percent of what we really mean while words only express 7 percent.
So, while your mouth is closed, your body is just saying...
Arms. How you hold your arms shows how open and receptive you are to people you meet. If you
keep your arms to the sides of your body or behind your back, this suggests you are not afraid of taking on whatever comes your way. Outgoing people generally use their arms with big movements, while quieter
people keep them close to their bodies. If someone upsets you, just cross your arms to show you"re
unhappy!
Head. When you want to appear confident, keep your head level. If you are a monitor in class, you
can also take on this position when you want your words to be taken seriously. However, to be friendly in
listening or speaking, you must move your head a little.
Legs. Your legs tend to move around a lot more than normal when you are nervous or telling lies. If
you are at interviews, try to keep them still!
Posture (姿势). A good posture makes you feel better about yourself. If you are feeling down, you
normally don"t sit straight, with your shoulders inwards. This makes breathing more difficult, which can
make you feel nervous or uncomfortable.
Mouth. When you are thinking, you often purse your lips. You might also use this position to hold back an angry comment you don"t wish to show. However, it will probably still be noticed, and people will know you"re not pleased.
Face. When you lie, you might put on a false
face. But that expression would crack briefly, allowing displays of true emotions such as happiness,
sadness, disgust (厌恶) and fear to come through.
B. he is angry
C. he is not afraid
D. he is cool
B. keep your head level
C. move your head a little
D. cross your arms
B. Not sitting straight with the shoulders inwards.
C. Having the lips pursed to hold back an angry comment.
D. Keeping the arms to the sides of the body.
B. Body language can express more meanings than words do in communication.
C. We cannot communicate with others without words.
D. It"s not polite to use body language in formal communication.
B. Arms tell more than legs
C. Facial expressions tell the truth
D. One simple movement lets slip secrets of mind
We all need physical exercise. Exercise uses up food we eat and keeps the body full of energy.
It works your muscles and makes your heart work hard so as to send blood to your muscles. So,
exercise makes your heart and muscles strong. Exercise also makes you feel refreshed. If you exercise
a couple of times a week, you will stay happy and healthy.
Some Western countries, such as the United States, have problems with exercise. In the US, many
people don"t have enough exercise because it is hard for them. People have to work from dawn till dusk,
so they don"t have time to take exercise. They work in office buildings sitting in chairs all day long in
front of computers. They cannot get much exercise sitting at desk passively.
Some Westerners can get exercise walking from their homes to work. However, the majority of
people cannot do this. It is too far from their homes to their offices. They have no choice but to drive
to work. In fact, some have to drive one or two hours to their offices. This is unfavorable in two ways.
First, these people don"t have a chance to exercise because they are sitting in their cars for two to four
hours each day. Second, driving is challenging especially in rush hours and calls for too much attention.
It makes a person worn out. So, when these people arrive home at night, they don"t have the desire to
take exercise after work.
Today, many people in the West are overweight, which causes health problems for them. Doctors
say exercise can help people both lose weight and improve their health. So many people are trying to
get more exercise. But it takes time to change, and when people don"t see a difference right away, they
will lose heart and stop exercising.
And the sad truth is that "clothing mismatches" on the job can ruin the day of the person who is
wearing the inappropriate attire(着装)-and the people with whom he or she works.
Offices vary when it comes to dress codes. Some businesses have very strict standards for
office attire, while others maintain a more relaxed attitude. However, it is always important to
remember that no matter what your company"s attitude is, you are working in a business
environment and you should dress properly. Certain items may be more appropriate for evening
wear than for a business meeting, just as shorts and a T-shirt are better suited for the beach than
for an office environment. Your attire should reflect both your environment and your position. A
senior president has a different image to maintain than that of a secretary. Like it or not, you will
be judged by your appearance.
This is never more apparent than on "dress-down days", when what you wear can say more
about you than any business suit ever could. In fact, people will pay more attention to what you
wear on dress-down days than on "business professional " days. Thus, when dressing in "business
casual" clothes, try to put some good taste into your choices, recognize that the "real" definition
of business casual is to dress just one notch(等级) down from what you would normally wear on
business-professional attire days.
Remember, there are borders between your career and our social life. You should dress one
way for play and another way when you mean business. Always ask yourself where you are going
and how other people will be dressed when you get there. Is the final destination the opera, the
beach, or the office? Dress properly and you will discover the truth in the principle that clothes make
the man-and the woman. When you"re in doubt, it"s safe to be on the side of dressing slightly more
traditionally than the situation demands.
B. How to choose appropriate attire.
C. Appropriate attire will make a big difference
D. Improper dress will make a person uncomfortable.
B. People are usually more careful about dressing.
C. We can"t judge a person"s taste by his clothes.
D. People"s clothes don"t receive much attention.
B. Think about how others will dress if invited to a dinner.
C. For a business meeting and a concert, you should dress differently.
D. Ask others for advice when you are not sure about what to dress.
When it comes to succeeding at work, conventional wisdom says you should check your emotions
at the door. But Anne Kreamer, the author of the new book It"s Always Personal, disagrees. "It
reduces people"s ability to bring their best selves to their work," she says. ___1___ Here"s how to
turn your emotions into opportunities.
___2___
How to get promoted: Engage in joint(联合的)problem solving.
Losing your temper at work is "universally uncool," say Kreamer. But opening your emotional
floodgates strategically can lead to solutions if both sides are willing to work together. ___3___
"The specific time and private space establishes boundaries so you have a greater chance of
achieving a constructive outcome and maintaining the relationship," Kreamer adds.
I feel: Afraid and anxious.
How to get promoted: Improve planning skills.
___4___ Identify what"s behind your fear and take specific action --- ask your manager for details
and take on some responsibilities. You"ll calm down and do a better job. "No boss minds helping
an eager employee learn something new, but every boss hates having to deal with a bungled
(搞糟了的) project," says Kreamer.
I feel: Happy.
How to get promoted: Increase creativity and productivity.
When you"re in a positive mood, your brain activity actually shifts, says Kreamer. "Your focus
deepens, and your dopamine(多巴胺) levels increase. ___5___"
A.I feel: Angry.
B.I feel: like crying.
C.This helps you see things from a different perspective.
D.It"s a signal that there"s a problem that needs to be solved.
E.Are you clear about an assignment or underprepared for a meeting?
F.Instead, Kreamer suggests acting on your feelings can help you do a good job.
G.Rather than face the offender in the heat of the moment, schedule a one-on-one meeting.
over 1,100 miles of land, it stretches across the western slopes (斜坡) of the Sierra Nevada mountains.
So it supports a wide variety of biological diversity (生物多样性).
When exploring Yosemite, it"s important to understand that you will see all sorts of wildlife, perhaps
even some of the more exotic if you"re lucky. If you"re the type of person who loves camping and being outdoors, go on an overnight or several days" backpacking trip, hike up to the falls, try out some rock
climbing, go biking and generally enjoy the amazing beauty of Yosemite.
If you"re a person who doesn"t really like nature or enjoys it from a distance, Yosemite still offers many great opportunities. Stay in the luxurious Yosemite hotel and walk to the neighboring village to try an ice
skate. Check out the mall museum and go on several guided tours.
Some must-see places in Yosemite include: El Capitan, one of the most famous rock-climbing areas in
the world; Yosemite Falls, easily the highest waterfall in North America at 2,425 ft; Ribbon Falls, the
longest single-drop water fall in the US at 1,612 ft; Mount Lyell, the highest point in the park, and many
other amazing sights.
Thus Yosemite truly has something for everyone. If you have a chance, it"s worth a visit, but events like swimming and boating are only available late spring through summer. In winter, there"s cross-country
skiing, downhill skiing and snowshoeing, so fun activities are always available to all.
