三、阅读理解（每小题2分，共24分）
A
It was at least two months before Christmas when nine-year-old Almie Rose told her father and me that she wanted a new bicycle. As Christmas drew nearer, her desire for a bicycle seemed to fade, or so we thought. We bought the latest rage, Baby Sitters Club dolls, and a doll house.
Then, much to our surprise, on December 23rd, she said that she “really wanted a bike more than anything else.” It was just too late, what with all the details of preparing Christmas dinner and buying last minute gifts, to take the time to select the “right bike” for our little girl. So, here we were Christmas Eve around 9:00 p.m., with Almie and her six-year-old brother, Dylan, nestled snug in their beds. Now we could only think of the bicycle and the disappointment of our child. “What if I make a little bicycle out of clay (泥) and write a note that she could trade the clay model in for a real bike?” her dad asked. “This is an expensive item and she is ‘such a big girl,’ it would be much better for her to pick it out.”
So he spent the next four hours painstakingly working with clay to make a tiny bike. On Chrismas morning we were excited for Almie to open the little shaped package with the beautiful red and white clay bike and the note. Finally, she opened it and read the note aloud. “Does this mean that I trade in this bike that Daddy made me for a real one?” Beaming, I said, “Yes.” Almie had tears in her eyes when she replied, “I could never trade in this beautiful bicycle that Daddy made me. I’d rather keep this than get a real bike.” At that moment, we would have moved heaven and earth to buy her every bicycle on the planet!

B. Tears were in the girl’s eyes because she didn’t like the present at all.
C. The girl never lost her desire for a bike.

A. He wanted his daughter to buy a real one.

Robinson was born in a poor family. At seven, he had to pick coal in a deserted mine near his home, and then he sold what he had picked and earned a few coins to help his parents. He had no schooling, for being so poor, how could they afford school fees?
When he was fifteen, he worked as a servant in a school. Looking at other children studying in the classroom, he felt sorry for himself. In the day time, after the sweeping and cleaning was over, he could stand by the window outside the classroom trying to catch what the teacher said. At night, he tried his best to remember what he learned during the day. He worked so hard at the lesson that he sometimes had just three or four hours’ sleep. The more he learned the greater interest he had. A maths teacher discovered him and came to like this diligent (勤奋的) boy and allowed him to sit at the back of the class. In one exam, he came first in grade in the whole school. He would have been given the scholarship if he had been a regular boy of the school.
Robinson struggled through six long years with his study of maths and wrote several articles which caught the attention of some university professors. They appreciated (欣赏) his diligence as well as his cleverness. To give him the better chance they hired him as a librarian (图书管理员) and offered him free guidance. Robinson was filled with joy, for he felt that before him there was a broad road leading to success.

C
“You don’t listen!” says your friend.
When you answer, “But I do. I can repeat every word you just said!” It doesn’t seem to be good enough.
“No,” she says, “you don’t listen.”
What’s wrong? Scientists tell us that words give us only 35 percent of what we mean. The rest? Body language. In other words, you may hear the words but not the “tune”.
Body language. You know about the hitchhiker’s thumb. That sign is clear. But what is the sign for a pretty girl? An Arab strokes his beard (捋胡须). An Italian pulls on one of his ear lobes (耳垂). An Englishman looks slowly away.
Body language, if you look for it, is all over the place.
When two people like each other, they show it. They hold their bodies straighter. Eyes are bright. Skin may be pinker. And each preens. The girl works with her hair. The boy combs his hair, straightens his tie – or his shirt – and pulls up his socks.
When you are looking at the other person, you show interest. When you fail to make eye contact, you give the impression that the other person is of no importance.
Words are only part of talking. The rest takes in body movements, dress, eye contact, and, of course, the tone of the voice. Recently I went to a meeting of some teachers. Two teachers were arguing. What the lady was saying was polite enough. Her voice, though, gave her away. It kept getting higher and angrier by the minute. She was saying – in words – that there were two sides to the matter. But what she was really saying – with her tone of voice – was “I hate you!” When the man told her that she was showing anger by her voice – and her whole body – she did not agree. She was not aware of her real feelings. But her body language told the story.
38. We come to know about ______ for a pretty girl in different places.
A. one sign B. two signs C. three signs D. four signs
39. If you “hear the words, but don’t get the tune,” it means that you ______.
A. didn’t hear what the person said to you
B. didn’t get the person’s real message
C. didn’t listen to the person
D. didn’t notice the person’s tone of voice
40. People who like each other show it by _____ according to the passage.
A. telling each other about it
B. holding their bodies straight
C. looks and dress
D. body language
41. This passage means to tell us that ____.
A. body language and words are both important
B. body language helps people understand others fully
C. there are different kinds of body language
D. it’s important to know some examples of body language
