Task 1
Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 36 through 40. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should make the correct choice.
You know the effect calories(卡路里) have on your body. For each pound of weight that your body carries, it takes about 12 calories to keep it alive. If you weigh 150 pounds, you need about 1 800 calories per day to keep yourself alive, if you eat more than 1,800 calories per day, the extra ones turns into fat. Let's say that you eat 2,000 calories per day. That extra 200 calories are going to turn into fat. Then you go on a diet(减肥) and you eat only 1,000 calories per day for 60 days. But then you go right back to eating 2 000 calories per day again. Some days you are "good" and eat less, and some days you are "bad" and eat more, but it averages out to 2,000 calories per day over the long run. The diet really takes the weight off. But the weight comes right back when you return to your "normal" eating pattern. The lighter you are, the fewer calories you need. There are only two ways to keep the weight off: Change your overall(全面的) eating pattern, or start exercising so that you "burn" the extra calories you take in. The best course of action is to put these two ways together.
What kink of effect do calories have on your body?
A.They make you become fatter.
B.They help to keep you alive.
C.They make you become thinner.
D.They change your eating habit.
Question 32 to 35 are based on the following passage.
Step 1:
Use open-ended questions For a conversation to flow well, it ’ s important to ask open questions, these often start with “ how” , ” when” , ” why” , etc. Tryto avoid asking closed questions that can be answered with yes or no answer, because closed question tend to kill theconversation.
Step 2:
Listen actively People speak at 100 to 175 words per minute, but they can listen intelligently at up to 300 words per minute. Since onlya part of our mind is paying attention. It is easy to go into mind drift — thinking about other things while listening to someone. The cure for this is active listening, which involves listening with a purpose.
Step 3:
Create a “ cocoon” If you ’ re finding it particularly difficult to concentrate on what someone is saying, try to imagine a “ cocoon ” arou ndyou and the person you ’ re listening to. Imagine that the cocoon is blocking out all outside distractions(干扰 ), so you canreally focus on what they are saying.
Step 4:
Engage with the other person When someone is trying to get your attention, or engage you in a conversation, don ’ t turn your back on them, or answerover your shoulder. Instead, turn and face them, engage with them. Good communication is when you really engage. Whenyou are talking to people, observe your body language and your tone of voice. Remember to use gestures, look people in theeye and smile when you talk unless you are complaining about something.
