24、 describe their feelings to you? We use both words and gestures to express our feelings, but the problem is that these words and gestures can be interpreted in different ways. It is tree that a smile means the same things in any language. So【 31】 laughter or crying. There are also a number of striki
25、ng similarities in the way different animals show the【 32】 feeling. Does, tigers and humans, for example, often show their teeth when they are angry. This is probably【 33】 such behavior patterns are inherited rather than【 34】 . Fear is another emotion that is shown in【 35】 the same way all over the
26、world. In Chinese and in English fiction, a phrase like he went pale and began to tremble suggests that the man is【 36】 very afraid or has just had a very nasty shock.

27、 be described in a phrase like they stretched【 38】 their tongues. Sticking out your tongue in【 39】is an insulting gesture or expresses disgust.

29、e way people stand or move etc. ) than younger people【 47】 , and psychologists such as E.G Beier have also shown that some people frequently give completely the wrong impression of【 48】 they feel. For instance, they try to show affection but in fact actually communicate dislike. Or when they want to
30、 show interest, they give the impression that they dont care. This can happen even among close friends and members of the same family. In【 49】 words, what we think we axe communicating through language, voice, face and body movements may be the exact【 50】 of what other people understand. 71 Its all

Though youve got to get them to do it,【 61】 helping too much, or even examining【 62】 too carefully, you may keep them【 63】doing it by themselves. “I wouldnt advise a parent to check every【 64】 assignment,“ says psychologist Joh
33、n Rosemond, author of Ending the Tough Homework. “Theres a【 65】 of appreciation for trial and error. Let your children【 66】 the grade they deserve. “ Many experts believe parents should gently look over the work of younger children and ask them to rethink their【 67】 . But “you dont want them to feel
34、 it has to be【 68】 ,“ she says. Thats not to say parents should【 69】 homework first, they should monitor how much homework their kids【 70】 . Thirty minutes a day in the early elementary years and an hour in【 71】four, five, and six is standard, says Rosemond. For junior-high students it should be “【
35、72】 more than an hour and a half,“ and two for high school students. If your child【 73】 has more homework than this, you may want to check【 74】 other parents and then talk to the teacher about【 75】assignments. （ A） very （ B） exact （ C） right （ D） usual （ A） officials （ B） parents （ C） experts （ D） s

41、nt-in-the-making either. He sold almost all bottling rights a year after taking the brand into Canada and Mexico【 63】 Ben Thomas and John Whitehead. This pair established【 64】 was to become a mainstay of the business, in developing a regional network of bottlers so that Coca-Cola could be【 65】 in th
42、e home. In 1915, the classic curved bottle was【 66】 by the CJ Root glass company, a shape which was destined to last, with only a few alterations, through the【 67】 85 years and become a true design【 68】 . Coke began to【 69】 its products offering fruit juices and fizzy drinks, but【 70】 to the Coke ra
