Massey University PhD student Jacinta Hawkins looked at the influence of TV programs on kids health knowledge, attitudes and behavior. She said programs which showed overweight people, such as The Biggest Loser, seem to be putting children off eating junk food. “The appearance of overweight people on TV is making children say I dont want to grow up like that” The research was part of Ms Hawkins paper on how schools improve health. She spoke to 92 children, aged from 7 to 13, from six Auckland primary schools to find out how they received information on nutrition and physical activity.Some said they learnt from TV news programs, but most of them mentioned reality shows such as Fat Chance, Honey Were Killing the Kids and Downsize Me. Earlier studies had looked at the effect junkfood advertising had on children, Ms Hawkins said, but messages within TV programs had not been explored. “Children from the six schools largely recognized program content, rather than advertising, as a source of food and physical activity messages. They are learning habits of eating and exercise from TV programs.” The children also recognized that their parents had a role to play in shaping health behavior. Talking about Honey Were Killing the Kids, which shows how people will look if they continue with good habits, children said they developed attitudes from their familys habits. Ms Hawkins said children remembered what they had seen and thought it was the parents duty to lead by example.【文章大意】本文是议论文。新西兰的一项研究发现，有些真人秀节目可能会对孩子的健康产生积极影响5What did Hawkins find out about reality TV?AIt may teach kids much scientific knowledge.BSome shows may let kids develop bad habits.CIt may draw kids attention away from studies.DSome shows may help kids eat more healthily.解析：D推理判断题。根据第一段中的but a study suggests part of its shows could be good for children和第二段中的She said programs.putting children off eating junk food.可知，Hawkins发现一些真人秀节目可能会帮助孩子们吃得更健康。6What method did Hawkins use to get her findings?ADoing interviews.BPerforming experiments.CStudying science reports.Dparing earlier studies.解析：A细节理解题。根据第三段中的She spoke to 92 children可知，Hawkins的研究采用的是采访学生的方法。7How did most students get information on health?AFrom television ads.BFrom health experts.CFrom news reports.DFrom TV shows.解析：D细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的Children from the six schools largely recognized program content, rather than advertising, as a source of food and physical activity messages.可知，大多数学生通过电视节目获取健康方面的信息。8According to the children, which had a great influence on their health behavior?ASchool.BFamily.CTheir friends.

Believe it or not, this is possible even from the very first few seconds when you meet that new person. Eye contact is very important in munication, especially with new people. Good use of eye contact, which does not avoid the others, does not stare and does not linger on certain parts of the others body improperly, is a key part of getting to understand new people. Proper eye contact shows respect and it shows that you are interested in interacting with the other person. How much eye contact to make in different cultures? If you read the other persons body signals correctly, you will see how much eye contact to make. Posture says a lot about a persons personality and mood. Slouching (低垂的) shoulders and a curved spine (脊柱) says that they are depressed, down and lacking confidence in themselves. The tilt (倾斜) of a persons head gives away their mood, too. A head which is balanced both horizontally and vertically on the neck shows confidence and selfesteem. When they want to speak or make a particular point, the authoritative, confident person will usually lean their head forward just a little bit, but without taking up too much on the personal space of their listener. If they tilt their head to one side while you are talking, you can be assured that they are listening to you attentively and that they will be likely to give you time to speak and say what you have to say. Of course, this position can change, and it should. Nobodys position should be maintained for too long as that will seem unnatural. If someone stays in one position and doesnt speak for a long time, do check it: he/she may have fallen asleep!【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍的是如何通过分析一个人的肢体语言来了解其性格特征以及内心活动。9When you first meet a person, you should avoid _.Astaring at a certain part of his/her body Bmaking eye contactCshowing your personal interestDpaying attention to his/her body languages解析：A细节理解题。根据第二段第二句中的“Good use of eye contact, whick.does not stare and does not linger on certain parts of the others body improperly”可知，第一次见面的时候不应该把目光停留在对方身体的某个部位上。故选A。10If a person keeps a position for a long time while you are talking, he/she _.Amay be poor in memoryBmay be in a bad moodCmay lack selfconfidenceDmay lack interest解析：D推理判断题。根据文章最后一句“If someone stays in one position and doesnt speak for a long time, do check it：he/she may have fallen asleep！”可知，如果一个人长时间保持同一个姿势不说话，他也许是睡着了；由此可推知，他可能对所谈论的话题不感兴趣。故选D。11According to the passage, you will be happy to see the other person _ when you are talking.Anod his/her head from time to timeBtilt his/her head to one sideCchange from one position to another oftenDkeep his/her head balanced解析：B推理判断题。根据最后一段第四句“If they tilt their head to one side while you are talking, you can be assured that they are listening to you attentively.可知，如果一个人侧着头听你说话，这说明他在认真听你讲；由此可推知，这样你会觉得很高兴。故选B。12What does this passage mainly talk about?AHow to use body language in munication.BHow to understand other people by reading the body language they act.CHow to make body language more understandable.DHow to overe our awkwardness when we meet strangers.解析：B主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍的是如何通过分析一个人的肢体语言来了解其性格特征和内心活动。故选B。.七选五The New York Times The New York Times is an American newspaper.
