课下作业（二） 话题阅读培优练
Ⅰ.根据提示填空
It is well known that body language is the quiet, secret and most ?powerful (power) language
of all.It speaks louder than words.According to specialists, our bodies send out ?more (many) messages than we realize.As we have more communication with foreigners, we should ?pay_more_attention_to_the_differences (更加注意差别) in our body language.
As a matter of fact, many differences exist between Chinese and American ?body_language (身体语言)．For example, there are more touching ?gestures (gesture) in China than in America.Women or girls in China often walk hand-in-hand, which is very rare in America.Also, Americans think it's rude ?to_put (put) out one's tongue, while the Chinese often use this gesture when they are ?embarrassed (embarrass)．Furthermore, Chinese people will pat children on the head if they like them, while the Americans do so to offer ?encouragement (encourage) or comfort. In a word, only by fully understanding all the differences in body language can we expect ?to_achieve (achieve) proper communication.But whatever the situation, the best advice is to obey the Golden Rule: Treat others as you would like to ?be_treated (treat)．
Ⅱ.片段选词填空
stand close to， distance， express， cause， more than， vary， communicative skills， worth， be aware of， facial When we communicate with others, we do not only ?express ourselves through words, but also through our tones of voice, ?facial expressions and body language.Body language is just an important part of non-verbal communication.
Learning another language is ?more_than just learning its words and grammar; it also involves learning another culture.We learn much of our body language before we learn to speak.Body language ?varies from culture to culture, so it's important for us to pay attention.
Sometimes, cultural differences in appropriate body language can ?cause discomfort or misunderstanding too.For example, there are definite cultural differences in how much ?distance should be kept between two speakers.In areas of the Middle East and South America, people ?stand_close_to each other when talking, while you can create great discomfort by standing too close to some Africans.Not ?being_aware_of this can even prevent someone from understanding or accepting the ideas you're trying to get across.
So it's ?worth learning the cultural differences in body language.Understanding any cultural or regional attitudes can help you improve your ?communicative_skills.

A
(2019·绵阳诊断)David Rees runs a truly distinctive business.He charges customers $15 to sharpen their pencils to perfection, using a variety of tools.
I know what you're thinking — is this a joke? The 39-year-old gets asked that question a lot.To
clarify everything, he even created a special section on his website telling everyone he's actually providing a real service.
You can supply your own pencil or you can have Rees sharpen one of his own favorite 2B pencils.After that, he mails it to you in a display tube with the shavings in a separate bag, and an authentic certificate which just happens to mention the pencil is so sharp as to be a dangerous object.
To achieve the desired result, the master sharpener uses all kinds of tools, including general sandpaper, pocket knives and even a special $450 sharpening machine.“It depends on what the customer wants to use his/her pencil for，” he says.That determines the most appropriate pencil-sharpening technique.Some customers buy pencils as inspirational symbols while others buy them because of their special memories of classic 2B pencils.
$15 to have a pencil sharpened is a bit expensive though, right? You're not the only one who feels that way, and David's unique business has really angered lots of people, who talk of inequality in America, saying it is so insane for the wealthy to pay $15 to sharpen a pencil.But others will say, “This is just our urge to put an end to the welfare state because new ideas arise along with the business.”
