8、 ning would be starting with the non-language elements of the language: its gestures, its body language, etc. Eye contact is extremely important in English.

13、D.Since we are social beings, the quality of our lives depends in large measure on our in- terpersonal relationships. One strength of the human condition is our tendency to give and receive support from one another under stressful circumstances. Social support consists of the exchange of resources a
14、mong people based on their interpersonal ties.Those of us with strong support systems appear better able to cope with major life changes and daily hassles (困难). People with strong social ties live longer and have bet- ter health than those without such ties. Studies over a range of illnesses, from d
15、epression to heart disease, reveal that the presence of social support helps people fend off (挡开) illness, and the absence of such support makes poor health more likely.Social support cushions stress in a number of ways. First, friends, relatives, and co-workers may let us know that they value us. O
16、ur self-respect is strengthened when we feel accepted by others despite our faults and difficulties. Second, other people often pro- vide us with informational support. They help us to define and understand our prob- lems and find solutions to them. Third, we typically find social companionship sup-
17、 portive. Engaging in leisure-time activities with others helps us to meet our social needs while at the same time distracting (转移注意力) us from our worries and troubles.

22、atives B. it enables us to eliminate our faults and mistakes C. it makes our leisure-time activities more enjoyable D. it draws our attention away from our worries and troubles（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.When we talk about intelligence, we do not mean the ability to get good scores on cer- tain kinds of tests
23、or even the ability to do well in school. By intelligence we mean a way of living and behaving, especially in a new or upsetting situation. If we want to test intelligence, we need to find out how a person acts instead of how much he knows what to do.For instance, when in a new situation, an intelli
24、gent person thinks about the situa- tion, not about himself or what might happen to him. He tries to find out all he can, and then he acts immediately and tries to do something about it. He probably isnt sure how it will all work out, but at least he tries. And, if he cant make things work out right
25、, he doesnt feel ashamed that he failed; he just tries to learn from his mistakes. An intelligent person, even if he is very young, has a special outlook on life, a special feeling about life, and knows how he fits into it.If you look at children, youll see great difference between what we call “bri
26、ght“ chil- dren and “not-bright“ children. They are actually two different kinds of people, not just the same kind with different amount of intelligence. For example, the bright child really wants to find out about life-he tries to get in touch with everything around him. But, the unintelligent chil
27、d keeps more to himself and his own dream-world; he seems to have a wall between him and life in general.（分数：10.00）(1).According to this passage, intelligence is_.
