A: Why is there never a bus when you want one?
B: (56) . There aren't enough buses on this route.
A: Sometimes I feel like writing a letter to the paper.
B: (57) . You should say that we need more subway lines, too.

B: And (58) ! There's too much traffic.
A: (59) , is that our bus coming?
B: Yes, it is. But look, (60)
A: Oh, no! Let's go and get a cup of coffee. We can talk about this letter I'm going to write.
Why do we go wrong about our friends or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we don' t really listen closely we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, "You' re a lucky dog." That' s being friendly. But "lucky dog?" There' s a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn' t see it himself. But bringing in the "dog" puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that he doesn' t think you deserve your luck.
"Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for is another noise that says one thing and means another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole. But is he? Wrapped up in this phrase is the thought that your problem isn' t important. It' s telling you to think of all the starving people in the world when you haven't got a date for Saturday night.
How can you tell the real meaning behind someone' s words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says agree with the tone of voice? His posture? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake.
This passage is mainly about ______.
A.how to interpret what people say
B.what to do when. you listen to others talking
C.how to avoid mistakes when you communicate with people
D.why we go wrong with people sometimes

their action says another? A facial expression, crossed arms or the way they behave can show what
is really in their mind. This is body language, and we must teach our children to understand and
use it.
We often teach children to be thoughtful when they speak and write, and we also need to teach
them to be thoughtful in their body language. Giving examples is one of the ways to do that. Help
children understand that people use body language most of the time in their life. Where they're
looking when they speak, how they turn their bodies, how they place their arms and so on can give
others important information.
There will be times that people want and need to use their body language. In school or job
situations, understanding body language can make a difference. And using body language in other
situations is also helpful to personal safety and sometimes stops misunderstandings(误会).

Some people hate everything that is modern. They cannot imagine how anyone can really like modern music; they
find it hard to accept the new fashions in clothing; they think that all modern painting is ugly; and they seldom
have a good word for the new buildings that are being built everywhere in the world. Such people look for
perfection in everything, and they take their standards of perfection from the past. They are usually impatient
with anyone who is brave enough to experiment with new or to express himself or the age in materials original
ways. It is, of course, true that many artists do not succeed in their work and instead produce works that can
only be considered as failures. If the work of art is a painting, the artist’s failure concerns himself alone, but if
it is a building, his failure concerns others too, because it may damage the beauty of the whole place. This does
sometimes happen, but it is completely untrue to say, as some people do, that modern architecture is nothing.
We can’t judge every modern building by the standards of the ancient time, even though we admire the ancient
buildings. Technologically, the modern buildings are more advanced. The modern architect knows he should learn
from the ancient works, but with his greater resources of knowledge and materials, he will never be content to
imitate the past. He is too proud to do that.
Some people hate everything that is modern because _______.
A. they are aged
B. they find it hard to accept modern things
C. they take their standards of perfection from the Greek
D. they look at things by the standards of the past
Mom is always there; she had soup ready in the breakfast room by the time that Ann and Jim and I get home. Ann and Jim have never gone in for the cafeteria, either. Our house in only about a ten-minute walk from the school building, so we can make it back in plenty of time.
There's something about eating in the cafeteria--and not leaving the high school from morning until afternoon -- that feels a little like being in prison. By the end of the morning, I've got to get out of the building. And Mom never seems to mind fixing lunch for us; she never suggests that we eat in the cafeteria.
It's really the only time we have to be alone with her. In the morning Dad's there, and by the time I get home after messing around(混时间) after school, he's usually at home from work. So the time that Mom and I talk together is usually at lunch.
I feel sorry for the students who eat in the cafeteria every day. It would drive me mad, I don't know if their moms just don't like to cook for them in the middle of the day, or if they actually like the cafeteria and the cafeteria food.
When the author was in junior high school, ______.
A.he never ate in the cafeteria
B.he ate in the cafeteria sometimes but not often
C.he always went back for lunch
D.he often ate in the cafeteria

Journalists and TV people, we know, are () to record what goes on: but in trying to get the best () they can, they may sometimes seem amazingly cold-blooded. In the massacre that followed the British quitting India, () was a photographer who made a sorrowing Indian family bury and rebury () dead several times () he got a perfect shot. A BBC sound man held up a Nigerian execution for half an hour while he adjusted his sound equipment; you could say it didn 't () any difference to the final outcome, but it doesn 't make you feel especially warm towards the man () .
Should journalists and photographers join in, () just stand back and watch while people kill () another? It 's a tricky question, not just a () of how brave anyone is feeling at the time, () without authentic pictures, how will the world know, how should the world believe () crimes are committed? One dead photographer does not do much for the cause he cares about, even () he did feel forced to join in and take sides.
To stay out of the fight, to write () what 's going on, to treat () with both sides, as a doctor will cure soldiers in () uniform. or a lawyer argue for either side —that is supposed to be our code, and when it () to the crutch, we probably do better trying to stick () that, than rushing off on individual impulse. But is there not a point in any profession () you are forced back against the wall () a human being? I think there is, and I was.
