29、wing three texts. Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. 40 A smile is a strong sign of a friendly and open attitude and a willingness to communicate. It is a positive, silent sign sent with the hope the other person will smile back. When you
30、 smile, you show you have noticed the person in a positive way. The result? That person will usually smile back. You might not realize a closed position is the cause of many conversational problems. A common closed position is sitting with your arms and legs crossed and your hand covering your mouth
31、 or chin. This is often called the “thinking pose“. Ask yourself this question: Are you going to interrupt someone who appears to be deep in thought? This position gives off “stay away“ signs and prevents your main “ sign sender“(your mouth)from being seen by others looking for inviting conversation
32、al signs. The open body position is most effective when you place yourself within communicating distance of the other personthat is, within about five feet. Take care, however, not to enter someone s “personal space“ by getting too close, too soon. Leaning forward a little while a person is talking
33、shows your interest and how you are listening to what the person is saying. By doing this, you are saying: I hear what you re saying, and I m interested inkeep talking! Often people will lean back with their hands over their mouth, chin, or behind their head in the “thinking“ pose. This position giv
34、es off signs of judgment, doubt, and lack of interest from the listener. Since most people do not feel comfortable when they think they are being judged, this leaning-back position serves to prevent the speaker from continuing. In many cultures the most common form of first contact between two peopl
35、e is a handshake. Be the first to extend your hand in greeting. Couple this with a friendly “Hello“ , a nice smile, and your name and you have made the first step to open the lines of communication. Eye contact should be natural, not forced or overdone. Direct eye contact shows you are listening to
36、the other person and that you want to know about her. 41 A person smiles to show_. （ A） he is kind and useful （ B） he is happy all the time （ C） he is ready to talk with you （ D） he sees something funny 42 According to the text, troubles in communication may result from_. （ A） a closed body position

38、 him think you are thinking about something else （ D） makes him believe you are not interested in his talk 44 All of the following gestures encourage communication except_. （ A） leaning forward a little while a person is talking （ B） crossing your arms （ C） looking in others eyes （ D） extending your

40、Marie hurried into the office building where she was going to work. Her bus had inched along through the heavy traffic, making her a few minutes late for her very first job.

In fact, it hardly looked like an office at all. The employees were just standing ar
43、ound chatting and smoking. In the front of the room, somebody must have just told a good joke, she thought, because there was a loud burst of laughter as she came in. For a moment she had thought they were laughing at her. Then one of the men looked at his watch, clapped his hands and said something
44、 to the others. Quickly they all went to their desks, and in a matter of seconds, everyone was hard at work. No one paid any attention to Marie.
