　　Gestures are the silent language of every culture．We point a finger or move another part of the body to show what we want to say．It is important to know the body language of every country or we may be misunderstood．

　　In the US, people greet each other with a handshake in a formal discussion．The handshake must be firm．If the handshake is weak, it is a sign of weakness or unfriendliness．Friends may place a hand on the other's arm or shoulder．Some people, usually women, greet each other with a hug(擁抱)．

　　Space is important to Americans．When two people talk to each other, they usually stand about 2.5 feet away and at an angle, so they are not facing each other directly．Americans get uncomfortable when a person stands too close．They will move back to have their space．If Americans touch another person by accident, they say,“Pardon me．”or“Excuse me．”

　　Americans like to look at the other in the eyes when they are talking．If you don't do so, it means you are bored, hiding something, or are not interested．When you stare at someone, however, it is not polite．

　　For Americans, thumbs-up means“yes”,“very good”or“well done”．Thumbs-down means the opposite．To call a waiter, one might put up one hand to head level or above．To show you want the check, make a movement with your hands as you are signing a piece of paper．It is all right to point at things but not at people with the hand and index finger(食指)．Americans shake their index fingers at children when they scold them and pat them on the head when they admire them．

　　Learning a culture's body language is sometimes confusing(困惑的)．If you don't know what to do, the safest thing to do is to smile．

　　One day, an expert in time management was speaking to a group of business students, he used an illustration that those students will never forget．

　　As he stood in front of the group he said, “Okay, time for a quiz．” Then he pulled out a one-gallon, wide–mouthed jar and set it on the table in front of him．

　　He then produced about a dozen fist-sized rocks and carefully placed them, one at a time, into the jar．When the jar was filled to the top and no more rocks would fit inside, he asked, "Is the jar full?"

　　Everyone in the class said, "Yes．"

　　He replied, "Really?"

　　He reached under the table and pulled out a bucket of gravel, then dumped some gravel in and shook the jar causing pieces of gravel to work themselves down into the space between the big rocks．

　　He asked the group once more, "Is the jar full?"

　　By this time the class was on to him．"Probably not," one of them answered．

　　"Good!" he replied．

　　"No!" the class shouted．

　　Once again he said, "Good!"

　　Then he grabbed a pitcher of water and began to pour it in until the jar was filled to the brim．Then he looked at the class and asked, "What is the point of this illustration?"

　　One eager student raised her hand and said, "The point is, no matter how full your schedule is, if you try really hard you can always fit some more things in!"

閱讀理解

　　American farmers first planted genetically engineered(GE)crops in 1996．Today eighty percent of the cropland for soybeans, corn and cotton in the United States is transgenic(轉(zhuǎn)基因的)．Genetic engineering adds or changes genes in a plant to produce desired qualities．

　　The United States is one of the twenty-five countries where farmers planted genetically engineered crops in 2009．An agricultural biotechnology group says GE crops planting decreased in Europe．But the amount of cropland planted with GE crops rose by about seven percent worldwide．

　　The National Research Council, part of the National Academies in Washington, recently published a study．The study examined how genetically engineered crops have affected farming in the United States．It found that many farmers have better harvests, better weed control and fewer losses from insect damage compared to traditional crops．

　　LaReesa Wolfenbarger is a University of Nebraska biology professor and a member of the committee that wrote the report．She says they found that genetically engineered crops can be better for the environment．

　　LaReesa Wolfenbarger：“In general, we find that genetically engineered crops have had fewer harmful effects on the environment than non-GE crops produced conventionally．”

　　For example, she noted that crops designed to resist damage by glyphosate(草甘膦)need fewer pesticides(殺蟲(chóng)劑)．Glyphosate is a chemical used in weed killing products．

　　But some farmers have used so much glyphosate that a number of kinds of weeds can now resist it．David Ervin of Portland State University in Oregon led the committee that wrote the report．Professor Ervin says this means that some farmers are again using more poisonous herbicides(除草劑)to control weeds．He says the problem needs immediate attention．

　　Earlier this year, a professor at the University of Western Australia commented on the overuse of glyphosate．Stephen Powles wrote about it in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences in the United States．He said glyphosate is as important in worldwide food production as penicillin(青霉素)is in medicine for fighting disease．He called for better use of glyphosate-resistant crop technology．

(1)

Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

[　　]

A．

The amount of cropland planted with GE crops increased by seven percent in the US．

B．

The amount of cropland planted with GE crops decreased in Europe．

C．

American farmers first planted GE crops two decades ago．

D．

Eighty percent of the crops in the US are transgenic．

(2)

In comparison with traditional crops, GE crops __________．

[　　]

A．

need better soil

B．

need more glyphosate

C．

can resist insect attacks better

D．

are more likely to be bothered by weeds

(3)

According to David Ervin, __________．

[　　]

A．

to control weeds is quite easy

B．

glyphosate is of little use to planting

C．

glyphosate is as important as penicillin

D．

people should attach great importance to the overuse of herbicides

(4)

The author writes this passage to __________．

[　　]

A．

advise people to stop using pesticides

B．

prove that GE crops have better harvests

C．

call on more countries to plant GE crops

D．

discuss the issues surrounding GE crops
