A primary school has put up 46 to warn phone-obsessed parents to greet their children with a smile at the end of the day instead of 47 at their screens. It has become a common sight at the school gates to see children running up to their parents, only to find them obsessed with composing a text message, a phone call, or scrolling（滚动屏幕） through .

Now the headmistress at St Joseph’s RC Primary School, in Middlesbrough, has put up the signs at all three 48 to the school in an attempted crackdown. The signs say: “Greet your CHILD with a SMILE, NOT A MOBILE” and feature a figure with mobile to their ear, crossed out in a red circle.

Liz King, headmistress at St Joseph’s, said: “We are trying to develop our speaking and listening in school and we thought it was a really simple way to get the message across.

“It wasn’t an issue among our parents. It just 49 that speaking and listening helps the children to have discussions.”

The move had mixed review（评价不一）, with some parents 50 the signs, saying \"it's about time\" and others showing disapproval.

Danielle Parker, a parent, said: “I think they need to be up because everyone picks their kids up on their phones. I’d like to think they’d make a 51 .”

However, some people, when 52 , were more reluctant about the signs, with one parent, whose child is in the foundation stage, calling the move“a bit silly”.

Last year, research warned that parents’ obsession in smartphones has left some neglected children starting primary school 53 to have conversations. Almost a third of children starting school are not ready for the classroom, with many 54 social skills, having speech problems or not toilet trained, the survey of senior 55 school staff found.

On a trip to California, my family stopped for lunch. As we walked towards the entrance to the restaurant, a man, with a messy beard and dirty hair, jumped up from a bench and opened the door for us. Regardless of his 56 , he greeted us in a 57 way.

Once inside, my daughters whispered, “Mom, he 58 .” After we ordered our lunch, I explained, telling the kids to look 59 the dirt. We then watched other customers approach the restaurant but many ignored him. Seeing this rudeness truly upset me. The day I became a mother, I had decided to set a good example for my children. Yet sometimes when things didn’t go right, being a good example was 60 . When our meal arrived, it suddenly 61 to me that I had left the car-sick pills in the truck. With the windiest trip ahead, the kids needed them, so I 62 myself from the meal and went to get them. Just then, the “doorman” was opening the door for a couple. They rushed past him without even acknowledging his 63 . Letting them in first, I said a loud “thank you” to him as I went out.

When I returned, we talked a bit. He said he was not allowed inside he purchased food. I went back and told my family his story. Then I asked our waitress to add one soup and sandwich. The kids looked 65 as we had already eaten, but when I said the order was for the “doorman”, they smiled. When it was time to 66 our trip, I noticed the “doorman” enjoying his meal. Upon seeing me, he stood up and thanked me heartily. He then 67 his hand for a handshake and I gratefully accepted. I suddenly noticed the tears in his eyes---tears of 68 . What happened next drew great astonishment: I gave the“doorman”a hug. He pulled away, with tears breaking down his face.

Back in trunk, I 69 deep thought. While we can’t choose many things in life, we can choose when to show gratitude. I said thanks to a man who had 70 held open a door for me, and also said thanks for that chance to teach my children by example.

Whether the hair is long or short, it must be regularly brushed and regularly washed. For greasy hair, especially if the owner lives in a town, it may be necessary to wash the head every two or three days. Those with dry hair can usually go a little longer, but this is a matter for the individual to decide.

If a woman is not able to go to hairdressers very often, it is important that she chooses a style she can easily manage for

herself, and this always means that the first cut must be very standard.

One thing should be remembered though, that is , whatever you apply to the head can have some effect upon the skin, therefore, anything strong should be used with care, or you may use milder products. As for style, this must be studied according to what is the latest fashion and also suit the individual at different times of his or her life.

Young people who have spots of skin troubles on their faces, should take particular care to ensure that the hair is both clean and does not come into contact with the affected piece of skin. Hair is very difficult to keep completely clean, therefore, anyone running their hands through their hair and afterwards touching their face, or letting their fall over their faces, might spread infection（传染 ）from one place to another. Good hair does a lot to the effect of a face, so if you want to look charming, please start with your hair.

A. to go to hairdressers very often B. to choose better milder products for the hair C. to wash and brush the hair regularly D. to keep the hair away from the skin trouble 72.

What Hillary Clinton’s Body Language Said About Her Email Controversy.

Recently, Hillary Clinton became the first female candidate to be nominated（ 提 名 ）for President of the United States by a major political party. Just a little more than one year ago, however, she faced repeated questions about her use of a private email server for official communications

while serving as U.S. Secretary of State（国务卿）.

Christopher Hadnagy, a body language expert and author of Unmasking the Social Engineer, said that Clinton’s discomfort with the topic was clear, especially at a 20-minute press

conference（新闻发布会）held at the United Nations building in New York City in March 2015. As she faced reporters, Clinton

repeatedly insisted she did nothing wrong. But according to Hadnagy, underneath that was a certain level of nervousness indicated by her nonverbal actions.

“I don’t know if we have enough to say she is lying or telling the truth, but enough to show a high level of discomfort,”said Hadnagy. Here is his in-depth analysis of the press conference.

At the beginning of the press conference, Clinton was asked if it was a“mistake”for her to conduct her government work on a private email. She licked her lips, which indicated“uncertainty.”

As the reporter’s questioning continued, Clinton shrugged her shoulders and said she would direct her lawyer to“provide anything that could be connecting to work.”The shrug also made it seem like she was not sure about that claim.

While stating whether the email controversy would affect the timeline of her 2016 campaign, Clinton had a nervous laugh.

Then she folded her hands and hid her thumbs. All the actions were a display of“a low level of confidence.”

As Clinton faced an aggressive question from another reporter who insisted she violated State Department（）guidelines, she fidgeted（摆弄）with her notes. This was an action“caused by nervousness, discomfort or a need to relax”, according to his book.

75. According to the article, all the following statements are true EXCEPT that . A. Hillary Clinton is the first female nominee for President of the United States B. Clinton’s body language at the press conference showed her discomfort C. some aggressive reporters attended the press conference

D. Hadnagy was sure Clinton was telling lies at the press conference

76. According to Hadnagy’s analysis of the press conference, Hillary Clinton seemed to be her email controversy. A. guilty in B. dissatisfied with C. concerned about D. indifferent to 77. What can we infer from the passage?

A. Hillary Clinton enjoyed the press conference on her ongoing email controversy. B. Hillary Clinton will lose the election to be the first female president of the USA. C. Hadnagy analyzed Clinton’s uneasiness through her nonverbal actions in his book. D. Hillary Clinton lied about having sent classified emails from her private server.

78. The article was probably published in . A. a politics textbook

C. a psychology journal（杂志）

B. a business magazine D. a financial newspaper

（C）The Power of the Power Pose

Do you want to feel more powerful and seem more powerful to others? Try standing like Wonder Woman: hands on hips, feet wide apart, shoulders back, and staring confidently forward. It’s not a joke. The Wonder Woman power pose is now being considered a shortcut（捷径） for any woman feeling less confident. It had its first major boost in a TED talk by Harvard professor Amy Cuddy in 2012, who talked in detail about how standing like the Amazonion princess-warrior and pretending you’re armed with your own lasso （套索）can tell others that you’re serious and powerful. In her study, standing in

that“power pose”helped people get hired for jobs, simply because they looked confident.

Ms. Cuddy has found that even just faking a power pose results in a corresponding（相应的）physical boost. She also noted that the Wonder Woman

pose is a dominant stance that both supplies inner power to you and conveys power to others.

How does it work? It’s all about taking up as much space as possible, looking big and visible. Being the powerful person in a situation means extending yourself out as much as you can, even if you’re only an ordinary Joe or Jane. Other power poses include rolling your shoulders back and crossing your arms, planting your hand on the table and leaning forward and squinting（眯着眼看） slightly.

Perhaps more interesting, however, is the effect that the power pose has on the people doing it. Posture isn’t just a way to communicate to an audience; it’s actually a boost to your own self- confidence. In Ms. Cuddy’s talk, she also mentioned an important chain of events: that our bodies can change our minds, our minds can change our behavior and our behavior can change the outcome of a situation.

It’s these non-verbal expressions of dominance and power that influence how we feel about ourselves. So, next time you have to perform under pressure---whether it’s giving a presentation or attending a difficult meeting---find somewhere private and stand like Wonder Woman for two minutes. You’ll be amazed at the difference it makes.

79. In Ms. Cuddy’s study, the people taking the power pose get hired for jobs because . A. they leave a good impression on the employees B. they look more powerful and confident

C. they have better resumes than other candidates D. they have more work experience

80. According to this article, the following poses can help you feel more confident except . A. roll your shoulders back and cross your arms B. plant your hands on the table and lean forward C. sit down with hands on your knees

D. put your hands on your hips with feet wide apart

81. According to this article, which one of the statements is true? A. The power pose gives people a mental boost.

B. Posture is only a way to communicate with other people.

C. According to Ms. Cuddy, our behavior can change our minds and thus change the result of an event. D. In a situation where you feel stressed, taking up as much space as possible helps you seem more confident. Section C 8%

Directions：Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. A. It’ll make learn to enjoy what you have, fix what’s broken, and shop for a bargain. B. Spending more is likely to stimulate your motivation for more earning.

C. It gives you options and frees you from relying on someone else’s priorities. D. Living with less is the most efficient way to control your financial future. E. Actually, your parents have already given you too much. F. What you want is respect and admiration from other people.

My wife and I recently welcomed a child into the world. His only interest right now is keeping us awake 24/7. But one day, he’ll need to learn something about finance. When he does, here are some suggestions.

1. You might think you want an expensive car, a fancy watch, and a huge house. But you don’t 82 you think having expensive stuff will bring it. It almost never does---especially from the people you want to respect and admire you.

2. I hope you’re poor at some point. Not struggling, and not unhappy, of course. But there’s no way to learn the value of money without feeling the power of its scarcity（缺乏）. It teaches you the difference between necessary and desirable. 83 These are essential survival skills.

3. Don’t stay in a job you hate because you made a career choice at 18. Almost no one knows what he or she wants to do at that age. Many people don’t know what they want until they’re twice that age.（These are the signs you’re in the wrong career.）

4. The best thing money buys is to control over your time. 84 One day you’ll realize that this freedom is one of the things that makes you truly happy.

5. Your savings rate has a little to do with how much you earn and a lot to do with how much you spend. I know a dentist who lives paycheck to paycheck, always on the edge of ruin. I know another person who never earned more than $50,000 and saved a fortune. The difference is entirely due to their spending. 85 6. Don’t listen to me if you disagree with what I’ve written. The world you grow up in will have different values and opportunities than the one I did. More important, you’ll learn best when you disagree with someone and then are forced to learn it yourself.（On the other hand, always listen to your mother.）
