　　Passage 1

　　It’s natural to greet friends with a smile and a wave. ____36____ But what happens if your face and body send mixed messages? Would someone be more likely to believe the look on your face or the way you hold your body?

　　Scientists have recently tackled these questions. They found that when a person is looking at your face, she might not believe what she sees of your body language doesn’t match the feeling that your face shows. ____37____ Previously, they had found that the tone of a person’s voice can be more important than the words that are spoken. For example, most people tend not to believe a person who says in a flat voice, “I’m so excited.”

　　    When it came to emotions conveyed by facial expressions and body language, most scientists suspected that the face was more important. To test if this was true, psychologists from the Netherlands and Boston showed people a number of pictures of isolated(孤立的） faces and isolated bodies(with faces blurred out （模糊的))that showed anger or fear. ___38____

　　    An angry face had low eyebrows and tight lips. A scared face had high eyebrow and a slightly open mouth. 39____ A scared body had arms forward and shoulders square, as if ready to defend.

　　These results told the researchers that mixed signals can confuse people. Even when people pay attention to the face, body language subtly(微妙地） influences which emotion they read.

　　    ___ 40____And if you want to be understood, it helps to avoid sending mixed messages.

　　A．Scientists feel new to study the mixed message that confuses people.

　　B．When you do this, your face and body work together to show your friends that you’re happy to see them.

　　C.

　　Studying such mixed messages is nothing new for scientists.．

　　D．They also showed pictures in which angry or scared faces were paired with angry or scared bodies

　　E．Body language can sometimes be misunderstood in different culture backgrounds.

　　F．So, your body language is important for telling people how you feel.

　　G．An angry body had arms back and shoulders at an angle, as if ready to fight.

　　Passage 2

　　When natural disasters like hurricanes and earthquakes happen, there’s always a great need for coordinated(协调的) disaster relief and recovery.

　　16

　　Volunteer

　　To take a hands-on approach to disaster recovery, volunteer your time and talents. You can travel to the affected regions to provide support.

　　17

　　It is recommended that you volunteer through one of the professional organizations for your safety and your skills can be put to best use.

　　Donate money

　　Disaster victims often have lost their homes or need to relocate. In many cases, your money is just as valuable as your physical presence

　　in helping with relief efforts. Many organizations provide temporary housing, food and other items for victims.

　　18

　　Even organizations like the Red Cross have been criticized for how donated funds have been allocated(分配).
