If you thought handshakes were just a gesture of greeting, then think again! A handshake

is not only a way of greeting; it can also show your personality. Since we all want to set a good first impression, it is important to know the right shaking hands manners.

Stand up and maintain eye contact while shaking hands. If you are seated when someone comes for a handshake, stand up and shake his or her hand. It is impolite to be still seated. Keep right distance between the two of you; not too close, but enough distance to shake your hands well. Keeping eye contact makes the other person feel welcome and comfortable.

Keep a handshake brief and firm. You let go of each other’s hand after 2-3 seconds. Make sure your handshake ends before your conversation does. One’s handshake should show a feeling of strength and warmth. The hand should be firm and not lifeless like seaweed. Then, how firm should a handshake be？ Just grasp the person’s hand completely and do not press it too hard.

第7题

Aging happens to all of us, and is generally thought of as a natural part of life. It

would seem silly to call such a thing a "disease."

On the other hand, scientists are increasingly learning that aging and biological age are two different things, and that the former is a key risk factor for conditions such as heart disease, cancer and many more. In that light, aging itself might be seen as something treatable, the way you would treat high blood pressure or a vitamin deficiency.

Biophysicist Alex Zhavoronkov believes that aging should be considered a disease. He said that describing aging as a disease creates incentives to develop treatments.

"It unties the hands of the pharmaceutical (制药的.industry so that they can begin treating the disease and not just the side effects," he said.

"Right now, people think of aging as natural and something you can't control," he said. "In academic circles, people take aging research as just an interest area where they can try to develop interventions. The medical community also takes aging for granted, and can do nothing about it except keep people within a certain health range."

But if aging were recognized as a disease, he said, "It would attract funding and change the way we do health care. What matters is understanding that aging is curable."

"It was always known that the body accumulates damage," he added. "The only way to cure aging is to find ways to repair that damage. I think of it as preventive medicine for age-related conditions."

Leonard Hayflick, a professor at the University of California, San Francisco, said the idea that aging can be cured implies the human lifespan can be increased, which some researchers suggest is possible. Hayflick is not among them.

"There're many people who recover from cancer, stroke, or heart disease. But they continue to age, because aging is separate from their disease," Hayflick said. "Even if those causes of death were eliminated, life expectancy would still not go much beyond 92 years."

66.What do people generally believe about aging______

A.It should cause no alarm whatsoever.

B.They just cannot do anything about it.

C.It should be regarded as a kind of disease.

D.They can delay it with advances in science.

67.How do many scientists view aging now______

A.It might be prevented and treated.

B.It can be as risky as heart disease.

C.It results from a vitamin deficiency.

D.It is an irreversible biological process.

68.What does Alex Zhavoronkov think of "describing aging as a disease"______

A.It will prompt people to take aging more seriously.

B.It will greatly help reduce the side effects of aging.

C.It will free pharmacists from the conventional beliefs about aging.

D.It will motivate doctors and pharmacists to find ways to treat aging.

69.What do we learn about the medical community______

A.They now have a strong interest in research on aging.

B.They differ from the academic circles in their view on aging.

C.They can contribute to people's health only to a limited extent.

D.They have ways to intervene in people's aging process.

70.What does professor Leonard Hayflick believe______

A.The human lifespan cannot be prolonged.

B.Aging is hardly separable from disease.

C.Few people live up to the age of 92.

D.Heart disease is the major cause of aging.

Have you ever felt your mind getting confused after a sleepless night? You couldn’t co

Have you ever felt your mind getting confused after a sleepless night？ You couldn’t come up with an original thought no matter how hard you tried.

You were probably right if you thought that was caused by a lack of sleep.Dr.Home, a sleep researcher in England, studied 24 college students.One group got their normal eight hours of sleep.The other group didn’t get the smallest amount of sleep — they stayed awake all night.The next day, Dr.Home tested the students.He asked them questions that required creative and original thinking.One of the questions was “How many uses can a cardboard box be put to？”

The results？ The wide-awake students did well on the tests.The tired students did poorly.

Research has already shown that tired people can do okay on tests of routine thinking, like simple addition.But Dr.Home tested creative thinking only.

As part of his study, he offered an amount of money as a reward to the sleepy students if they did well.But even this encouragement wasn’t enough to help the students overcome their tiredness.They still did poorly.Dr.Home believes that the cerebral cortex — the part of the brain where thinking takes place — may get worn out during waking hours.Sleep may help to repair the brain overnight.Without any sleep, he emphasizes, “even if you concentrate harder, you cannot do better.”

This study gives people something to think about, especially people like hospital workers and airline pilots, who must stay awake all night and then make emergency decisions.

36.According to the passage, the confusion of your mind is possibly due to _____.

A.the lack of sleep

B.the difficult question

D.the requirement of your original thinking

37.Tired people can do everything EXCEPT_____.

A.doing simple addition

B.doing okay on tests of routine thinking

C.answering the creative question well

D.telling other people their names

38.The purpose for Dr.Home to offer a lot of money to the sleepy students is to _____.

A.help them repair their brains

B.stimulate their interests of the question

C.buy some medicine which can make them exciting

D.encourage them to do better

39.Who might be better instructed in their work after reading this passage？

A.Children.

B.Nurses.

C.Students.

D.Businessmen.

40.We can learn from the passage that _____.

A.a foolish man with good sleep may answer creative question well

Read the following paragraphs to identify the sentence which is not related to its top

ic.Write the number of the unrelated sentences on the Answer Sheet.(10 points)

Paragraph 1

My name is Brandon and I began Humans of New York in the summer of 2010.I thought it would be really cool to create a catalogue of New York City’s people, so I set out to photograph 10,000 New Yorkers and put their photos on a map.(1) I worked for several months with this goal in mind.(2) But along the way, I started collecting quotes and short stories from the people I met.Taken together, these pictures and captions became the subject of a blog.(3) Blogs are popular with all age groups.(4) With over eight million followers on social media, HONY now provides a worldwide audience with daily looks into the lives of strangers in New York City.It has also become a #1 NYT bestselling book.

Paragraph 2

Learning a second language can provide a deeper understanding of a foreign culture.Social habits that may not make sense to most outsiders might start to make more sense after a few vocabulary lessons.For example, I always wondered why my Dutch cousins rarely said “you’re welcome” after I said “thank you”.(1) My cousin can speak English but sometimes makes mistakes.(2) At first, I thought he was being rude, but when I learned more about his language, I realized that they don’t use “you’re welcome” the same way we do: in response to “thank you”.(3) They actually say something that translates to “If you please” when they offer you something.(4) This is one of the first things I learned about Dutch culture when I started to learn their language and it gave me a different perspective on the roles of host and guest since in Dutch the onus to be polite is on the host, and not the guest as it seems to be in English.
