1.      Nonverbal (非语言的)

communication has to do with

gestures, movements and closeness

of two people when they are

talking. The scientists say that

those gestures, movements and so

on have meaning which words do

not carry.
　　For example, the body

distance between two speakers can

be important. North Americans

often complain that South

Americans are unfriendly because

they tend to stand close to the

North American when speaking,

while the South American often

considers the North American to

be "cold" or "distant" because he

keeps a greater distance between

himself and the person he is

speaking to. The "eye contact"

provides another example of what

we are calling nonverbal

communication. Scientists have

observed that there is more eye

contact between people who like

each other than there is between

people who don't like each other.

The length of time that the

person whom you are speaking to

looks at your eyes indicates the

amount of interest he has in the

things you are talking about.
　　On the other hand, too long a

gaze can make people

uncomfortable. The eyes

apparently play a great part in

nonverbal communication. Genuine

warmth or interest, shyness or

confidence can often be seen in

the eyes. We do not always

consider a smile to be a sign of

friendliness. Someone who is

always smiling, and with little

apparent reasons, often makes us

uneasy.
1). According to the passage,

nonverbal

communication__________.
A. can be used to talk with

people who cannot bear
B. is less used than words
C. is a method often used by

people who cannot speak
D. can tell something that words

cannot
      满分：4  分  得分：4
2). The South American__________.
A. is often unfriendly when

spoken to
B. is often cold and distant when

speaking
C. tends to keep a distance

between himself and the person he

is speaking to
D. usually stands close to the

person he is talking to
      满分：4  分  得分：4
3). Which of the following is NOT

true?
A. There is more eye contact

between people who like each

other.
B. Shorter eye contact shows more

interest in what one is talking

about.
C. Less eye contact suggests

distance in relation.
D. The longer one looks at you,

the more interest he has in you.
      满分：4  分  得分：4
4). Too long a gaze__________.
A. indicates one's interest in

the talk
B. tells you how friendly one is
C. may upset people being looked

at
D. shows one's great confidence
      满分：4  分  得分：4
5). Constant smiling without

apparent reason__________.
A. makes people feel happy
B. makes people feel

uncomfortable
C. is a sign of one's

friendliness
D. is a sign of one's

unfriendliness

2.      With only about 1,000

pandas left in the world, China

is desperately trying to clone

the animal and save the

endangered species. That's a move

similar to what a Texas A&M

University researcher has been

undertaking for the past five

years in a project called

“Noah's Ark”.
?Dr. Duane Kraemer, a professor

in Texas A&M’s College of

Veterinary Medicine and a pioneer

in embryo (胚胎) transfer work

and related procedures, says he

salutes the Chinese effort and “

I wish them all the best success

possible. It's a worthwhile

project, certainly not an easy

one, and it's very much like what

we're attempting here at Texas

A&M—to save animals from

extinction.”
?Noah's Ark is aimed at

collecting eggs, embryos, semen(

精子) and DNA of endangered

animals and storing them in

liquid nitrogen. If certain

species should become extinct,

Kraemer says there would be

enough of the basic building

blocks to reintroduce the species

in the future.
?It is estimated that as many as

2,000 species of mammals, birds

and reptiles will become extinct

over the next 100 years. The

panda, native only to China, is

in danger of becoming extinct in

the next 25 years.
?This week, Chinese scientists

said they grew an embryo by

introducing cells from a dead

female panda into the egg cells

of a Japanese white rabbit. They

are now trying to implant the

embryo into a host animal.
?The entire procedure could take

from three to five years to

complete.
? “The nuclear transfer of one

species to another is not easy,

and the lack of available panda

eggs could be a major problem,”

Kraemer believes. “They will

probably have to do several

hundred transfers to result in

one pregnancy. It takes a long

time and it's difficult, but this

could be groundbreaking science

if it works. They are certainly

not putting any live pandas at

risk, so it is worth the effort,

” adds Kraemer, who is one of

the leaders of the Missyplicity

Project at Texas A&M, the first

ever attempt at cloning a dog.
?“They are trying to do

something that’s never been

done, and this is very similar to

our work in Noah's Ark. We’re

both trying to save animals that

face extinction. I certainly

applaud their effort and there's

a lot we can learn from what they

are attempting to do. It's a

research that is very much

needed.”

A. implant embryo into a host

animal
B. salute the Chinese efforts in

saving pandas
C. save endangered animals from

extinction
D. introduce cells from a dead

of a Japanese white rabbit
