Many people think that the most popular way of communicating with other people is through the mouth. But what they don’t know is that actual communication using the mouth accounts for(占……比例)only around 10%(or even less)of all the means to communicate a message.

Moreover, you can never determine the truthfulness or honesty of people by what they say alone. In fact, words expressed through the mouth often do not reflect what people really think or feel. The more reliable way you can determine their true inner feelings and thoughts is by reading their body language. Everybody communicates using these gestures and if you understand the gestures and their meanings you will be able to read people and know what they are really communicating to you. One researcher even went as far as to say that we speak to hide what’s on our minds. But gestures cannot lie.
Have you ever wondered what it would be like if you can “see through” the emotions of other people? Let’s say you ask a person whether he can do an important task. He says “OK”. But deep inside, you are questioning yourself, “Is he really willing to do this job? ” or “Does he have the confidence in finishing this task? ”You can’t question him directly because that would be like belittling him. And even if you ask him those questions, his replies will not tell you what he really feels or thinks. So the most useful way is to observe his body language. Expressions like smiling, frowning(皱眉), pouting(撅嘴), facial reddening, sweating, toe curling and sideways glances are visible hints that can help you make a right judgment.
According to the passage, we know   .

A.words through the mouth are the most common way in communication
B.body language is the quickest way to help people understand each other
C.expressions are the most powerful tool to judge whether a man is confident or not
D.you may know what a person really thinks with the help of reading his body language

What does the underlined sentence mean in the second paragraph?

A.We can express ourselves well by body language.
B.We use words to prevent others knowing our true thoughts.
C.Spoken words can fully reflect our true self.
D.We use body language to help express ourselves.

The underlined word in the third paragraph can be replaced with   .

A.looking down upon    B.speaking highly of
C.laughing at D.believing in

Comera is the only place in the world which has a whistle(口哨)language. We do not know how and why it began because we do not know the complete history of the island. But we can certainly imagine the reasons for the beginning of the whistle language. There are many deep valleys on the island. A person on one side of valley cannot easily shout to a person on the other side. But he can whistle and be heard from four miles away, and the record is seven miles. The people who live on the island usually have good teeth, and this helps them to whistle well. They must also have good ears so that they can hear other whistlers.
We can understand why the whistle language continues. It is very useful on the island, and quite easy to learn. When somebody is hurt or ill, the whistle language takes the place of the telephone. If the sick person is a long way from the town, boys and men pass the news from one to another. A boy guarding cattle on a hillside whistles to a man fishing from his boat. The last one is able to describe the trouble fully and exactly to the doctor in town. People help each other in the same way when a car breaks or a cow is lost.
The whistle language is hundreds of years old, and probably it will continue to live for hundreds of years more. Radio and TV often kill the special ways of speaking in the different parts of a country. But on Comera island you are nobody if you cannot whistle. Perhaps soon after TV arrives on the island, the people there will be whistling the news and other facts and opinions.
If a person on Comera island is ill,    .

A.others will phone the doctor in town
B.the whistle language will pass the news to the doctor
C.his family will take him to the doctor
D.people will take him to the hospital

From the passage we know radio and TV   at that time.

A.killed the special ways of speaking
B.whistled all the news and opinions
C.helped Comera people to communicate
D.did not appear on Comera island yet

Comera island is special in that   .

A.it attracts visitors every year
B.no visitors have ever been there
C.people there have special ears to hear whistles
D.people there use the whistle language to communicate with each other

Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A.It is not easy for a person to live on Comera island if he cannot whistle.
B.The whistle language can only be found on Comera island.
C.The whistle language has been used for hundreds of years on the island, but will not be used any longer.
D.The record shows that one best whistler can be heard by others seven miles away.

A. Airport services
B. Air transport prices
C. Transport by plane
D. Development
E. Fast growth in the US airlines
F. Beginning time
      
Airplanes are used to carry passengers, cargo and mail. Air transport companies run scheduled airlines and non-scheduled services over local, national, and international routes. The aircraft run by these companies change from small planes to large planes.
.       
The first air passenger services began in 1910, when dirigibles(飞艇)began working between several German cities. The first scheduled airplane service to carry passengers began in the US in 1914. Several experimental airmail flights took place in India, Europe, and the USA before World War I, but air transport services did not become a true business until after the war.
      
During World WarⅡintercontinental air transport began to become well set-up. After the war the new long-distance planes with developed equipment were increasingly able to prevent storms and strong wind and make flights cheap. Jumbo Jets began working in 1970.
      
During the 1970s the number of home passengers on US airlines increased about 78%, and during the 1980s the number was up about 58%. In 1990 there were 41. 8 million international passengers: the number was a 75% increase over 1980.
      
Major airports provide all kinds of services to make travel easy and pleasant for passengers. These change from such basic services as ticket-sales counters and restaurants to luxury(豪华的)hotels, shopping centers and play areas for children.
