My husband is reading The Secret Garden aloud to our kids.They are at the part where Mary has told Colin that she's found the garden her mother loved.It's an exciting moment.But the passage I'm waiting for is a few chapters on，after Colin has tasted his first breaths of fresh air and Mary has grown strong running in the garden.It's just a detail，but my kids will notice it：a delicious description of toasted potatoes and eggs.
We have a tradition of trying foods from the books we read aloud.It started when we read Elizabeth Enright's The Saturdays，and one of the boys asked， "What are petite fours （花色小蛋糕）？" An answer，my husband and I felt，wouldn't be as good as a sample.So one Saturday we all sat down having tea and little cakes，covered with pink，green，and yellow.It was exciting for the kids to try a dessert they had learned about in a book.The petite fours they tried didn't tell them what it was like to live in New York City 60 years ago，but tasting them made the book's words alive.
Later，when we read C.S.Lewis's The Lion，the Witch and the Wardrobe，we had Turkish delight.We read The Penderwicks，written by Jeanne Birdsall，and had gingerbread （姜餅）.We read Paddington Bear and tried marmalade （橘子果醬）.
Soon we will reach the part of The Secret Garden where Mary，Colin，and Dickon roast potatoes and eggs in a small oven （爐） in the earth.My kids will go out into the woods to find the perfect place for an oven of our own.Yes，we've eaten potatoes and eggs，but never in the open air.

1．Suppose you're in a rush，felling tired，not paying attention to your screen，and you send an email that could get you in trouble．
Realisation will probably set in seconds after you've clicked "send"．You freeze in horror and bum with shame．
What to do？Here are four common email accidents，and how to recover．
Clicking "send" too soon
Don't waste your time trying to find out if the receiver has read it yet．Write another email as swiftly as you can and send it with a brief title explaining that this is the correct version and the previous version should be ignored．
Writing the wrong name
The sooner you notice，the better．Respond quickly and briefly，apologising for your mistake．Keep the tone measured：don't handle it too lightly，as people can be offended，especially if your error suggests a misunderstanding of their culture （i．e．incorrect ordering of Chinese names）．
Clicking "reply all" unintentionally
You accidentally reveal（透露）to the entire company what menu choices you would prefer at the staff Christmas dinner，or what holiday you'd like to take．In this instance，the best solution is to send a quick，light-hearted apology to explain your awkwardness．But it can quickly rise to something worse，when everyone starts hitting "reply all" to join in a long and unpleasant conversation．In this instance，step away from your keyboard to allow everyone to calm down．
Sending an offensive message to its subject
The most awkward email mistake is usually committed in anger．You write an unkind message about someone，intending to send it to a friend，but accidentally send it to the person you're discussing．In that case，ask to speak in person as soon as possible and say sorry．Explain your frustrations calmly and sensibly -see it as an opportunity to clear up any difficulties you may have with this person．
（1）After realizing an email accident，you are likely to feel．
A．curious
B．tired
C．a(chǎn)wful

（2）If you have written the wrong name in an email，it is best to．
A．a(chǎn)pologise in a serious manner
B．tell the receiver to ignore the error
C．learn to write the name correctly
D．send a short notice to everyone
（3）What should you do when an unpleasant conversation is started by your "reply all" email？
A．Try offering other choices．
B．Avoid further involvement．
C．Meet other staff members．
D．Make a light hearted apology．
（4）What is the passage mainly about？

3．Have you ever had the experience of talking to someone and you think they are lying？Well，you are not alone.We've all had that feeling.But did you know that there are several things you can look for to see if you are being lied to？
Sometimes you can tell if a person is lying by observing what they do with their body.When people are lying they tend not to move their arms，hands or legs very far from their body.They don't want to take up very much space because they don't want to be noticed.Sometimes a person who is lying will not look you in the eyes.Other times people who lie try to look at you in a strong way because they want to convince you they are telling the truth.
Liars also use deflection.For example，if you ask a liar the question "Did you steal Fatima's bag？"，they may answer with something like "Fatima is my friend.Why would I do that？" In this situation the person is telling the truth，but they are also not answering the question.They are trying to deflect your attention.Liars may also give too many details.They may try to over-explain things.They do this because they want to convince you of what they are saying.
Often when a person is lying，they do not want to continue talking about their lie.If you think someone is lying，quickly change the subject.If the person is lying，they will appear more comfortable because they are not talking about their lie any longer.A little later，change the subject back to what you were talking about before.If the person seems uncomfortable again，they may be lying.
It's very hard for a liar to avoid filling silence created by you.He or she wants you to believe the lies being woven；silence gives no feedback on whether or not you've bought the story.If you're a good listener，you'll already be avoiding interruptions，which in itself is a great technique to let the story unfold.
Just because a person is showing these behaviors，it does not mean they are lying.They might be shy or nervous.But，if you think someone is lying，you might want to use some of these techniques.Hopefully，you won't need to very often.
（1）By saying "Liars also use deflection" （paragraph 3），the writer means that liars may.
A．tell great stories
B．change tone of voice
C．a(chǎn)sk a question in reply
D．a(chǎn)void direct answers
（2）According to the passage，a person could be lying if he or she.
A．offers more information than necessary
B．a(chǎn)ppears to be shy or nervous
C．changes the subject of the conversation
D．speaks very fast and vaguely
（3）Which of the following can be learned from the passage？
A．Liars always try to avoid direct eye contact when they tell lies.
B．We can make people lie by changing the subject in a conversation.
C．Liars are often expansive in hand and arm movements while talking.
D．We make liars uncomfortable by giving no feedback in a conversation.
（4）The passage mainly talks about.
A．who deceives us
B．why people tell lies
C．how to detect lies
D．what to do with liars發(fā)布：2024/12/30 1:0:8組卷：10引用：1難度：0.3
