In their 21 conversation, each eye contact (接触) 22 only about a second before one or both persons look away. When two Americans look searchingly into each others 23 , emotions are heightened and the

10、relationship becomes more intimate (亲密的). 24 , they carefully avoid this, except in proper occasions.Proper street behaviors in the United States require a nice 25 of attention and inattention. You are 26 to look at a passer-by just enough to show that youre aware of his presence. If you look too 27

17、er you turn it off.Your brain may not be the only thing the TV turns off.It seems that men who watch a lot of TV are more sedentary (长时间坐着不动的), eat more food and are generally much fatter.Similar results have been found for women.Experts think that watching TV means that not only are you sedentary,

18、but you have to watch food advertisements inducing (引诱) you to eat more.The food that you are being induced to eat may not be good enough for your health.If you are a couch potato, here are some suggestions:Tape a piece of paper to the back of your remote control (遥控器) or TV Guide, and every time yo

19、u watch a show, note how long you sit there and what you eat.Review the record after a week. This can be a shock.Dont have a TV in your bedroom; having a TV in your bedroom greatly increases viewing time and if you tend to (倾向于做某事) eat while viewing, the results are obvious(明显的).Think of a healthy w

20、ay instead of watching TV that you like. This can be as simply as walking the dog or walking to visit a neighbor regularly.After a few months you are likely to be surprised about how much more time you seem to have and how much better you feel.41.

24、east, make life easier for somebody? Perhaps we all do sometimes, but we dont often make the idea a reality. Recently, in Britain, there was a competition called British Designers for Tomorrow, which encouraged young people to carry out their bright ideas. There were two groups in the contests：Group

25、 One was for school children under 16; Group Two was for school children over 16. And there were eleven prize winners altogether.Neil Hunt, one of the prize winners, was called Sunshine Superman by one newspaper carrying his design. Its important when people study the weather to be able to record su

26、nshine accurately. We need to know how many hours of sunshine we have and how strong it is. Most sunshine recorders only record direct sunlight. Neils is more accurate and this is very important for research into the way of using solar power. With his prize of $100, Neil plans to carry on inventing.

27、You can do so much with animation (动画片). Look at Simon Wests idea for animated road signs. He uses pictures which appear to move as you go nearer to or farther from them. This isnt a new idea. But it is new to use these pictures on road signs. We found that people were more likely to pay attention t

28、o moving signs, said Simon. So now, you can really see rocks falling, strains moving, horses galloping (飞奔) or a car falling over the edge of a cliff. Quite a warning!The ideas in the competition were so inventive that we are surprised why British industry doesnt ask more school children for suggest

One quiet weekend they broke into the shop next to it. Then they made a hole in the wall and got into the bank. One of their friends wa

32、s watching the bank from a flat on the other side of the road. He had the duty of telling the men inside if there was any danger. The men talked to each other by radio, and someone else heard their conversation. The police were told. But they couldnt find the right bank. The robbers escaped with a l

33、ot of money.Amateur radio people, or hams, as they are usually called, listen to radio stations all over the world. Short wave bands are used in order to transmit over a long distance. They are also used for transmitting such things as telegrams and newspaper pictures. The criminals were using a sho

34、rt wave band, and a ham with the right equipment could listen to it easily. The result was that the bank robbers were nearly caught. Not much equipment is needed for receiving, and it is fairly cheap. Some hams also want to transmit, but transmitting equipment is expensive. A special license is need

35、ed too. Before that is given, a ham has to pass some examinations. Then he can transmit on a few special wave bands. Hams make friends with other hams all over the world, but the only thing they seem to talk about is their equipment!48. The man in the flat had to . A. look for money in houses on the

39、50 miles an hour. His friend Laura Field agrees. No one goes skiing any more, she says, Thats for the old folks.Rick and Laura are part of a new trend in sports. Its philosophy (宗旨) is to get as close to the edge as possible. And more and more young athletes are taking part in these risky (冒险的) acti

40、vities called extreme sports or X-sports.In the past, young athletes would play baseball. Today, they want risk and excitementthe closer to the edge, the better. They snowboard over cliffs and mountain-bike down steep mountains. They wind -surf near hurricanes and bungee-jump from towers. Extreme sp

41、orts started as an alternative (选择余地) to more expensive sports such as golf. A city kid who didnt have the money to buy expensive sports equipment could get a skateboard and have fun.

42、 special Olympics for extreme sports, called the Winter XGames, which includes snow mountain biking and ice climbing.What makes extreme sports so popular?

43、ng. The new equipment is so much better that people can take more risks without getting hurt. An athlete adds, Sure theres a risk, Once you go mountain biking or snowboarding, its impossible to go back to bike riding or skiing. Its just too boring. Now even the older crowd is starting to join in. Ev

44、ery weekend groups of friends in their early 30s get together. During the week they work as computer programmers in the same office. On Sundays they rent mountain bikes that cost $2,000 each and ride down steep mountains together.Extreme sports are certainly not for everyone. Most people still prefe

45、r to play basketball or watch sports on TV. But extreme sports are definitely gaining in popularity. These sports are fresh and exciting. Its the wave of the future.

47、 text. A. city teenagers B. the aged people C. office workers D. high school studentsEProverbs are quite common in spoken English. We do not normally put them in a composition or letter. Sometimes it is helpful if you know what common proverbs mean. Here are a few examples:1)Once bitten, twice shy.I

48、f a dog bites me, I shall be twice as careful in future when I see it. This proverb is also used to apply to many things and not only to dogs. If you have been cheated at a shop, you will not go to the same shop again.2)A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.If I am a hunter, trying to catch bi

49、rds, it is better to catch one bird than to see two birds in a bush but not be able to catch them. Thus this means that what you have already got is better than the chance of being able to get something bigger in future.3)Too many cooks spoil the broth (soup).When too many people do something, they

50、get in each others way and do a job.4)To pour oil on troubled waters.is to try to calm things down. Oil is lighter than water. If a ship is in trouble at sea, another ship may come to help it. The second ship can send small boats to rescue people. However, it may first pour oil on the sea to make th

51、e sea less rough.5)Dont be a dog in a manger (槽)meansDont be selfish.In a stable (马房), the manger is the place where the horses food is put. Sometimes a dog will sleep in the manger and bark when a horse comes to get its food. The dog does not want to eat the hay in the manger but it will not let th

52、e horse eat it.6)He is sitting on the fence.means that somebody will not say whether he is in favour of a plan or against it. He is sitting on a fence between two opposing sides, perhaps waiting to see which side will win.7)He who pays the piper calls the tune.A piper is a musician. The man who empl

53、oys or pays a musician can say what tunes the man will play. Thus this means that if a man provides the money for a plan, he can say how it will be carried out.8)You cant get blood out of a stone.means that you cannot get something from a person who has not got any of the things you want. e. g. you cannot get a million dollars from a poor man.56.Peter had a bicycle which was much too small for him but he did not want to let his younger brother ride on it. His mother was angry and said to him: .A.You cant get blood out of a stoneB.Dont be a d
