7、il a short bar across the corresponding letter in the brackets.We use both words and gestures to express our feelings, but the problem is that these words and gestures can be understood in different ways.It is true that a smile means the same thing in any language. So does laughter or crying. There
8、are also a number of striking similarities in the way different animals show the same feelings. Dogs, tigers and humans, for example, often show their teeth when they are angry. This is probably because they are born with those behavior patterns.Fear is another emotion that is shown in much the same
9、 way all over the world. In Chinese and in English literature, a phrase like “he went pale and begin to tremble“ suggests that the man is either very afraid or he has just got a very big shock. However, “he opened his eyes wide“ is used to suggest anger in Chinese whereas in English it means surpris
10、e. In Chinese “surprise“ can be described in a phrase like “they stretched out their tongues“. Sticking out your tongue in English is an insulting gesture or expresses strong dislike.Even in the same culture, people differ in ability to understand and express feelings. Experiments in America have sh
11、own that women are usually better than men at recognizing fear, anger, love and happiness on peoples faces.

16、ture and Understanding（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.Human needs seem endless. When a hungry man gets a meal, he begins to think about an overcoat, When a manager gets a new sports car, a big house and pleasure boats dance into view.The many needs of mankind might be regarded as making up several levels. When the
17、re is money enough to satisfy one level of needs, another level appears.The first and most basic level needs involves food. Once this level is satisfied, the second level of needs, clothing and some sort of shelter, appears. By the end of World War , these needs were satisfied for a great majority o
18、f Americans. Then a third level appeared. It included such items as automobiles and new houses.By 1957 or 1958 this third level of needs was fairly well satisfied. Then, in the late 1950s, a fourth level of needs appeared, the “life-enriching“ level. While the other levels involve physical satisfact
19、ion, that is, the need in comfort, safety, and transportation, this level stresses mental needs for recognition, achievement, and happiness. It includes a variety of goods and services, many of which could be called “luxury“ items. Among them are vacation trips, the best medical and dental care, and
20、 recreation. Also included here are fancy goods and the latest styles in clothing.On the fourth level, a lot of money is spent on services, while on the first three levels more is spent on goods. Will consumers raise their sights to a fifth level of needs as their income increases, or will they cont
21、inue to demand luxuries and personal services on the fourth level?A fifth level would probably involve needs that can be achieved best by community action. Consumers may be spending more on taxes to pay for government action against disease, ignorance, crime, and prejudice. After filling our stomach
22、s, our clothes closets, our garages, our teeth, and our minds, we now may seek to ensure the health, safety, and leisure to enjoy more fully the good things on the first four levels.（分数：10.00）(1).According to the passage, man will begin to think about such needs as housing and clothing only when _.

To many people, the cause is obvious: they eat too much. But scientific ev
27、idence does little to support this idea. Going back to the America of the 1910s, we find that people were thinner than today, yet they ate more food. In those days people worked harder physically, walked more, used machines much less and didnt watch television.Several modern studies, moreover, have
28、shown that fatter people do not eat more on the average than thinner people. In fact, some investigations, such as the 1979 study of 3 545 London office workers, report that, on balance, fat people eat less than slimmer people.Studies show that slim people are more active than fat people. A study by
29、 a research group at Stanford University School of Medicine found the following interesting facts:The more the men ran, the more body fat they lost.The more they ran, the greater amount of food they ate.Thus, those who ran the most ate the most, yet lost the greatest amount of body fat.（分数：10.00）(1)
