Perhaps the most famous theory, the study of body movement, was suggested by Professor Ray Birdwhistell. He believes that physical appearance is often culturally programmed. In other words, we learn our looks ---- we are not born with them. A baby has generally informed face features. A baby, according to Birdwhistell, learns where to set the eyebrows by looking at those around-family and friends. This helps explain why the people of some areas of the United States look so much alike, new Englanders or Southerners have certain common face features that cannot be explained by genetics(遗传学). The exact shape of the mouth is not set at birth, it is learned after. In fact, the final mouth shape is not formed until well after new teeth are set. For many, this can be well into grown-ups. A husband and wife together for a long time often come to look alike. We learn our looks from those around us. This is perhaps why in a single country area people smile more than those in other areas. In the United States, for example, the South is the part of the country where the people smile most frequently. In New England they smile less, and in the western part of New York State still less. Many southerners find cities such as New York cold and unfriendly, partly because people on Madison Avenue smile less than people on Peachtree Street in Atlanta, Georgia. People in largely populated areas also smile and greet each other in public less than people in small towns do.

1.Ray Birdwhistell believes that physical appearance ____.

A. has little to do with culture

2.According to the passage, the final mouth shape is formed ____.

3.Ray Birdwhistell can tell what area of the United States a person is from by ____.

A. how much he or she laughs

B. how he or she raises his or her eyebrows

C. what he or she likes best

D. the way he or she talks

 

1.B 2.C 3.A 【解析】 试题分析:本文介绍了人的面目不是生来注定,而是后天习得的理论。 1.细节题。根据文章第2句physical appearance is often culturally programmed可推知Ray Birdwhistell认为人的外貌和文化有关,此题答案为B。 2.细节题。根据文章中间的句子the final mouth shape is not formed until well after new teeth are set可推知最后的嘴的形成是新的牙长出后,此题答案为 C。 3.推断题。根据文章末尾部分This is perhaps why in a single country area people smile more than those in other areas.对各个地方人笑的多少的归纳可推知此题答案为A。 考点:考查科普类短文

    Yesterday morning, I was surprising to hear that my best friend Allee has been hit by a car and was in hospital. The other day when he was going to cross a street, he was such careful that he didn’t go until he saw the traffic light to turn green. But hardly had he got to the middle of the street while he saw a car suddenly appear on his right-hand side and come directly towards them. It was too late for Allee to escape. He was hit by the car or was thrown a few meters away. He was sent to the nearest hospital immediately and had operation. When I went to see him, he was out of dangers but still looked pale. I sincere hope he will recover and return to normal as soon as possible

It is natural for young people to be critical of their parents at times and to blame them for most of the misunderstandings between them. They have always complained, more or less justly, that their parents are out of touch with modern ways; that they are possessive and dominant; that they do not trust their children to deal with problems; that they talk too much about certain problems—and that they have no sense of humor, at least in parent—child relationships. I think it is true that parents often underestimate their teenage children and also forget how they themselves felt when young.

Young people often make their parents angry at their choices in clothes and hairstyles, in entertainers and music. This is not their motive. They feel cut off from the adult world into which they have not yet been accepted. So they create a culture and society of their own. Then, if it turns out that their music or entertainers or vocabulary or clothes or hairstyles make their parents angry, this gives them extra enjoyment. They feel they are superior, at least in a small way, and that they are leaders in style and taste.    

Sometimes you are resistant, and proud because you do not want your parents to agree what you do. If they agree, it looks as if you are betraying your own age group. But in that case, you are supposing that you are the underdog; you cannot win but at least you keep your honor. This is a passive way of looking at things. It is natural enough after long years of childhood, when you were completely under your parents' contro1. But it ignores the fact that you are now beginning to be responsible for yourself. If you plan to control your life, cooperation can be part of that plan. You can attract others, especially your parents, into doing things the way you want. You can impress others with your sense of responsibility, so that they will let you choose what you want to do.  

1.The first paragraph is mainly about_________.

A. the teenagers' criticism of their parents

A. want to show their existence by creating a culture of their own

B. have a strong desire to be leaders in style and taste

C. have no other way to enjoy themselves better

D. want to make their Parents angry

3.Teenagers do not want their parents to agree whatever they do because they_______.

A. have already been accepted into the adult world

B. feel that they are superior to the adults

C. are not likely to win over the adults

D. have a desire to be independent
