They live in groups, and speak to each other in their own language. In this, they are like other animals, such as bees and birds. But dolphins are very different from almost all land animals. Their brain is nearly the same size as our own, and they live a long timeat least twenty or thirty years. Like some animals, dolphins use sound to help them find their way around. They also make these sounds to talk to each other and to help them find food. We now know they do not use their ears to receive these sounds, but the lower part of the mouth, called the jaw. Strangely, dolphins seem to like man, and for thousands of years there have been stories about the dolphin and its friendship with people. There is a story about sailors in the 19th century. In a dangerous part of the sea off the coast of New Zealand, they learnt to look for a dolphin called Jack. From 1871 to 1903, Jack met every boat in the area and showed it the way. Then in 1903 a passenger on a boat called The Penguin shot and wounded Jack. He recovered and for nine years more continued to guide all ships through the areaexcept for The Penguin. Today, some people continue to kill dolphins, but many countries of the world now protect them and in these places it is against the law to kill them. 21.

Jack is different from other dolphins D. dolphins should be protected by law BThat cold January night, I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco. There I was walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theater. With opening night only a week away, I was still learning my lines. I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco. City life had bee too much for me. As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold. I began running, both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers. Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets. About a block from my apartment, I heard a sound behind me. I turned quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetlight. Still, the noise had made me nervous, so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk. Suddenly I wasnt cold or tired any more. I ran out of the door and back to where Id heard the noise. Although I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found. Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbage truck pull up to the sidewalk next to me. When a voice called from the inside, “Alisa Camacho?” I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name? The door opened, and out jumped a small red-haired man with an amused look in his eyes. “Is this what youre looking for?” he asked, holding up a small square shape. It was nearly 3 a.m. by the time I got into bed. I wouldnt get much sleep that night, but I had got my wallet back. I also had got back some enjoyment of city life. I realized that the city couldnt be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each other.25. How did the writer feel when she was walking home after work?A. Cold and sick B. Lucky and hopefulC. Satisfied and cheerful D. Disappointed and helpless26. From the first paragraph, we learn that the writer was busy_.A. solving her problem at the bank B. taking part in various city activitiesC. learning acting in an evening school D. preparing for the first night show27. In the fifth paragraph, why did the writer say she was dreaming?A. Someone offered to take her back home B. A red-haired man came to see her. C. She heard someone call her name D. Her wallet was found in a garbage truck28. From the text, we can infer that the writer_.A. would stop working at night B. would stay on in San FranciscoC. would make friends with cleaners. D. would give up her job at the bankC As soon as you meet, or even see, a person, you form an impression of him based on his posture, gestures and facial expressions. This is why it is important to make a good first impression on the person who will be interviewing you. Within the first 60 seconds of meeting you, the interviewer will have formed an impression about what type of person you are and what kind of employee you would bee, and 55% of this will be based only on your body language. Here are some tips to make that impression a good one. First of all, relax. Think positive thoughts and you are more likely to e across as a positive, confident person during the interview. Dress smartly, as your appearance is one of the first things an interviewer will notice you. Stand up straight, and walk in with your shoulders back and your head up. Try to avoid slowing down as you walk into the room because this suggests fear and uncertainty. Shake hands with the interviewer firmly. You should have a positive handshake and a warm smile. Opening your coat or jacket as you sit down shows that you, too, are open. Posture is important. You should be sitting well back in your seat. Sit up straight and lean forward slightly, but not too much. Sitting at too much of an angle (角度) expresses disfort and distrust. Tow of the most mon defensive (防卫的) signals are crossing your arms and legs, so try to avoid them.Another important issue is eye contact. Looking someone in the eye shows confidence in yourself and trust in the other person. However, dont overdo it, as too much eye contact or staring will make the other person unfortable. Use more eye contact when listening than when talking, and when you look away, look down. Looking up at the ceiling will make you seem bored or rude.29. The purpose of the first paragraph is to tell readers_. A. what a good first impression is B. how to make a good first impression C. how long it takes to make a first impression D. the importance of making a good first impression30. Which of the following does the author advise you to do when you are being interviewed? A. Cross your arms or legs. B. Open your coat or jacket when sitting down. C. Go into the room more slowly than usual. D. Avoid looking at the eyes of the interviewer directly.31. If you lean forward too much, it means_. A. you are very bored B. you are too nervous C. you dont have confidence D. you dont trust others32. What is the best title for the text? A. How to use body language to win an interview B. How to answer questions in an interview C. How to understand body language D. How to deal with an interviewerDA swimming coach from Moldova is looking for a job in Beijing.
