一、Reading Comprehension

1.We use both words and gestures to express our feelings ,but the problem is that these words and gestures can be understood in different ways .
It is true that a smile means the same thing in any language . So does laughter or crying . There are also a number of striking similarities in the way different animals show the same feelings . Dogs , tigers and humans , for example , often show their teeth when they are angry . This is probably because they are born with those behavior. patterns .
Fear is another emotion that is shown in much the same way all over the world . In Chinese and English literature , a phrase like “he went pale and began to tremble”suggests that the man is either very afraid or deeply shocked . However , “he opened his eyes wide ” is used to suggest anger in Chinese whereas in English it means surprise . In Chinese surprise can be described in a phrase like “they stretched out their tongues ”. Sticking out your tongue in English is an insulting gesture or expresses strong dislike .
Even in the same culture , people differ in the ability to understand and express feelings Experiments in America have shown that women are usually better than men at recognizing fear ,anger love and happiness on people’s faces .

6.The English policeman has several nicknames but the most frequently used are “copper” and “bobby”. The first name comes form. the verb “to cop” ( which is also slang ) , meaning “to take”or “to capture” , and the second comes form. the first name of Sir Robert Peel , a 19th century politician , who was the founder of the police force as we know it today . An early nickname for the policeman was “peeler” , but this one has died out .
Whatever we may call them , the general opinion of the police seems to be a favorable one , except , of course , among the criminal part of the community where the police are given more derogatory nicknames which originated in America , such as “fuzz” or “pig” . Visitors to England seem to be very impressed by the English police . It has , in fact , because standing joke that the visitor to Britain , when asked for his views of the country , will always say , at some point or other , “I think your policemen are wonderful”.
Well , the British bobby not always be wonderful but he is usually a very friendly and helpful sort of character . A music-hall song of some years ago was called “If You Want To Know The Time , Ask A Policeman ” . Nowadays , most people own watches but they still seem to find plenty of other questions to ask the policeman . In London , the policeman spend so much of their time directing visitors about the city that one wonders how they ever find time to do anything else .

The first is that does not carry a pistol and the second is that he wears a very distinctive type of headgear , the policeman’s helmet .

11.It is difficult to imagine what life would be like without memory . The meanings of thousands of everyday perceptions , the bases for the decisions we make , and the roots of our habits and skills are to be found in our past experiences , which are brought into the present by memory .
Memory can be defined as the capacity to keep information available for latter for later use . It not only includes “remembering ” things like arithmetic or historical facts but also involves any change in the way an animal typically behaves . Memory is involved when a rat gives up eating grain because he has sniffed something suspicious in the grain pile . Memory is also involved when a six-year-old child learns to swing a baseball bat .
Memory exists not only in humans and animals but also in some physical objects and machines . Computers , for example , contain devices for storing data for later use . It is interesting to compare the memory-storage capacity of a computer with that of a human being . The instant-access memory of a large computer may hold up to 100,000 “words” —ready for instant use . An average American teenager probably recognizes the meaning of about 100,000 words of English . However , this is but a fraction of the total amount of information which the teenager has stored . Consider , for example , the number of faces and places that the teenager can recognize on sight .

B.a person’s memory is different from a computer’s in every respect
C.animals can solve very simple problems
D.animals solve problems by instinct rather than intelligence

16.Clearly if we are to participate in the society in which we live we must communicate with other people . A great deal of communication is performed on a person-to-person basis by the simple means of speech . If we travel in buses , buy thing in shops , or eat in restaurants , we are likely to have conversations where we give information or opinions , receive news or comment ,and very likely have our views challenged by other members of society .
Face-to-face contact is by no means the only form. of communication and during the last two hundred years the art of mass communication has become one of the dominating factors of contemporary society . Two things , above others , have caused the enormous growth of the communication industry . Firstly , inventiveness has led to advances in printing , telecommunications , photography , radio and television . Secondly , speed has revolutionized the transmission and reception of communications so that local news often takes a back seat to national news , which itself is often almost eclipsed（黯然失色）by international news .
No longer is the possession of information confined to a privileged minority . In the last century the wealthy man with his own library was indeed fortunate , but today there are public libraries . Forty years ago people used to flock to the cinema , but now far more people sit at home and turn on the TV to watch a programme the is being channeled into millions of homes .
Communication is no longer merely concerned with the transmission of information . The modern communication industry influences the way people live in society and broadens their horizons by allowing access to information , education and entertainment .The printing , broadcasting and advertising industries are all involved with informing , educating and entertaining .
Although a great deal of the material communicated by the mass media is very valuable to the individual and to the society of which he is a part , the vast modern network of communications is open to abuse . However , the mass media are with us for better or for worse , and there is no turning back .The first paragraph emphasizes the ______ of face-to-face contact in social settings .
