And I knew it was possible to get others to do what I wanted if I read their real feelings and responded(回应) suitably to their needs. At the age of eleven, I sold sponge rubber(泡沫橡胶) door-to-door after school and quickly worked out how to tell if someone was likely to buy from me. When I knocked on a door, if someone told me to go away but their hands were open and they showed their palms (the inside surfaces of their hands), I knew it was safe to continue with my presentation(展示) because they werent angry or threatening although they may have a dismissive(不屑的) attitude. If someone told me to go away in a soft voice but used a pointed finger or closed hand, I knew it was time to leave.As a teenager, I became a pots and pans(炊具)salesperson, and my ability to read people earned me enough money to buy my first house. Selling gave me the chance to meet people and study them close and to know whether they would buy or not, simply by watching their body language.I joined the life insurance business at the age of twenty. And I went on to break several sales records for my company, becoming the youngest person to sell over a million dollars worth of business in my first year. This achievement allowed me to become a member of the well-known Million Dollar Round Table (MDRT, which recognizes the worlds top achievers in life insurance). I was lucky that the skills Id learned as a boy in watching body language while selling pots and pans could be used in this new area, and were directly related to the success I could have in any business closely connected with people.39.

What is the new area” mentioned in the last paragraph?A. The study of selling products. B. The life insurance business.C. The pots and pans industry. D. The work for the MDRT.41. What was the key to the authors success?A. Listening to customers words. B. Understanding customers habits.C. Trying to satisfy customers needs. D. Reading customers body language.42. How does the text mainly develop?A. By following the order of time. B. By giving clear explanations.C. By giving well-known examples. D. By following the order of importance.CIt is hard to say the first day of school in the United States because when the first day of school is and what happens on the first day of school usually are different by districts(地区).The first day of school for many school districts in different states is on the day after the first Monday in September.

In the 1978-1979 school year, the Ohio Department of Education moved the start of the year to late August, one week before the first Monday in September. This went into effect in the 1980-1981 school year.In most school districts in Utah, the school year starts between August 25 and August 30, and goes until the last week of May or the first week in June next year.In American high schools, the freshmen class usually goes back one or two days before the rest of the school body for an orientation(迎新) period. An orientation period helps the freshmen get familiar with their new school, its rules and surroundings.In some schools, freshmen classes have their photographs taken for identification purposes.

He lives and works in the heart of Mu Us Sandyland, an area in the southwest part of Inner Mongolia.In 1958, when he was just 16 years old, Cao started planting trees. Caos trees now cover an area of more than 1.3 million square meters. Caos forest is worth an estimated 10 million yuan and can produce 100,000 kilograms oxygen, enough to sustain a full-grown adult for nearly a year.Mu Us Sandyland is one of the places in China most affected by erosion(侵蚀) and desertification. The amount of annual rainfall ranges from 150 to 300 millimeters, while evaporation(蒸发) between 2,000 and 3,000 millimeters. Cao recalls that his growing-up was troubled by sandstorms. This was one of the factors that motivated Cao to join and stay on the tree-planting program.Popularly known as the Green Great Wall, the project, which is set for completion in 2050, would be a 4, 800-kilometer greenbelt of trees and shrubs(灌木) protecting the area from strong winds and preventing soil erosion. Since the start of the Three-North Shelter Forest Program, millions of people have joined in and become a vital part of the plan.However, the tree-planters face a host of challenges, with watering the most difficult among them. “When I was young, the level of groundwater was high, said Cao, But with less rain, the trees are hard to plant and keep alive.”Planting trees has also become harder for Cao as he ages. However, he doesnt want to leave the forest in the care of his children, and he insists the land belongs to the government. When I die, I just want to be buried under the trees,” Cao said. Then I will be with them forever.”47.
