We 41 as much on what they seem to be telling us, as on the actual words they say. Facial expressions and tone of voice are obvious ways showing our reaction to something, and it may well be that we 42 express what we are trying to hide. The art of being tactful（机智的） 43 in picking up these signals, realizing what the other people is trying to say, and acting so that theyare notembarrassed in any way. For example, we may understand that they are in fact 44 to answer our questions, and so we stop pressing them. Body movements in general way also indicate feelings, and interviewers pay particular attention to the way a candidate for a job walks into the room and sits down. 45 , it is not difficult to present the right kind of appearance, while what employers want to know relates to the candidates character traits(特性) and 46 stability. This raises the awkward question of whether job candidates should be asked to complete psychological tests, and the further problem of 47 such tests actually produce reliable results. For many people, being asked to take part in such a test would be an objectionable intrusion (闯入, 侵扰) into their private lives. 48 , a prospective employer would hardly ask a candidate to run a hundred meters, or expect his or her family doctor to provide confidential medical information. Quite apart from this problem, can such tests predict whether a person is likely to be a 49 employee or a valued colleague?III.

T (B)HE HOUSEThomas Jefferson called Monticello his “essay in architecture.” The author of the Declaration of Independence and third president of the United States studied the buildings of ancient Rome and began building his house in 1768 atop（在上面）the “Little Mountain” where he had played as a boy. However, after returning from France in 1789 with new ideas about architecture, he completely redesigned the house. As a result, Monticello is the remarkable integration of Jeffersons love of classical architecture and passion for modern innovation.

You carry it around in your pocket and take it out when you want to watch a show. Imagine a guitar so tiny you cant see it with the human eye, but you can hear sounds when its strings are plucked（拨）. Some people say the future is big, but when it comes to technology, the world is getting smaller.Nanotechnology（纳米技术） is the science that deals with doing things in a very small way, and it is being explored and developed all over the globe. Micromachines too small to be seen by the human eye are being designed to do many things that larger machines do today. And these machines, no longer in diameter（直径）than a human hair, are extremely powerful. Many scientists say nanotechnology will produce the next industrial revolution.Maybe the area where nanotechnology will have the biggest impact is medical science. Imagine nanobots in medicine. Thousands or even millions of tiny machines can be sent into the human body with specific missions. For example, they can be designed to find and destroy cancer cells or viruses. Other machines may stay in the human body permanently to help organs that are not functioning properly.Think of the possibilities in using such tiny machines in surgery. Imagine machines so small you can swallow them in a pill or inject them into your bloodstream through a needle. After youve had too many years of junk food, these t
