To test their skills in recognizing a suspect (嫌疑犯), the policeman showed the first lady a picture for five seconds and then asked how she could recognize him. She thought it easy, for the suspect had only one eye. The policeman felt disappointed at this funny answer. He showed the second lady the picture for five seconds and asked her how she would recognize him. The second lady giggled, flipped her hair, and said, “Ha! It's easy to find the oneeared person!” Her answer also made the policeman angry. Turning to the third lady, he asked, “This is your suspect, and how would you recognize him?” He added quickly, “Think hard before giving a stupid answer.” The third lady looked at the picture carefully for a moment and said, “Hmm...the suspect is wearing contact lenses (隐形眼镜).” The policeman was surprised and speechless, because he really didn't know himself if the suspect wore contacts or not. “Well, that is a good answer. Wait here for a few minutes while I check his file.” He left the room and went to his office, checked the suspect's file in his computer and returned with a beaming smile. “Wow! I can't believe it...It's TRUE! The suspect does in fact wear contact lenses. Good work! How were you able to make such a wise observation?” “That's easy, ”the blonde replied, “He can't wear glasses because he only has one eye and one ear!”‎ ‎1.

He worked very hard and really wanted to take a holiday.‎ He usually went to the seaside, but one day he saw an ad in a newspaper. “Enjoy country life. Spend a few weeks at Willow Farm. Good food, fresh air, horse riding, walking, fishing. Good prices.”‎ ‎“This sounds like a good idea,” he thought. “I'll spend a month at Willow Farm. I'll enjoy horse riding, walking and fishing. They'll make a change from sitting by the seaside.”‎ Four days later he returned home.‎ ‎“What's wrong with Willow Farm?”‎ His friend Jack asked him. “Didn't you enjoy country life?”‎ ‎“Country life was fine,” Alan said, “but there was another problem.”‎ ‎“Oh, what?”‎ ‎“Well, the first day I was there a sheep died, and we had roast mutton for dinner.”‎ ‎“Fresh meat is the best.”‎ ‎“I know, but on the second day a cow died, and we had roast beef for dinner.”‎ ‎“Lucky you!”‎ ‎“You don't understand,” Alan said.‎ ‎“On the third day a pig died and we had roast pork for dinner.”‎ ‎“A different roast every day, ”Jack said.‎ ‎“Let me finish,” Alan said, “on the fourth day the farmer died and I didn't dare to stay for dinner!”‎ ‎4.

Everyone understands what a smile means, and everyone also understands what a frown means. In fact, these two basic facial expressions can be recognized across countries, across the world and across the globe, regardless of the language spoken or the culture lived in.‎ Hugs are so beautiful! When you give someone a hug or someone comes up and gives you a hug, this simple act of a hug can “speak” volumes about how much you care for the other person, how much love you want to share with the other person, how much you have missed the other person. This hug has so much to say, and yet there never has to be any words spoken.‎ And, who needs to say the words “yes” or “no” when a movement of the head says the same thing. These basic examples show just how powerful body language can be. Just knowing how to read and use body language effectively, makes it really easy to see why it is not always a bad thing to be lost for words.‎ Body language in the world of love is a very common thing and sometimes the only thing. And, most of the time, body language is the very first words “spoken” before any words are. The old saying is “love at first sight”, not “love at first word”. Across a crowded room, their eyes meet and linger, he winks at her, and she raises an eyebrow. The connection is made without any words needed. These displays of body language say it all. In fact, sometimes they can say more than words can.‎ ‎8. How many kinds of body language are mentioned in the first two paragraphs?‎ A. Three. B. Two. C. Four. D. Five.‎ ‎9. The author thinks it isn't a bad thing to be lost for words because________.‎ A. silence is usually better than words B. body language can save much time C. too many words may bring some trouble D. body language can be more effective ‎10. The last paragraph talks about body language used________.‎ A. between two good friends B. between two people in love C. between family members D. between close relatives ‎11. Which word can best describe body language according to the passage?‎ A. Necessary. B. Powerful. C. Important. D. Wonderful. ‎ D Madame Tussaud's Wax (蜡) Museum, London Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum was first set up in Paris in 1770, moved to London in 1802 and moved to its present address in 1884.
