III. 阅读理解 （40）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，共30分）

A

As a son of a doorman, Walter Dean Myers becomes a popular author. But he tells his son, Christopher, that his father is the person that he always wants his writing to impress.

“I started working at 14 and I saved my money up, hoping to buy a typewriter. After finding out about it, my father went out and bought me a really good one,” Walter says. “That was very important to me.”

Today, Walter’ bibliography includes nearly 100 books. He collaborates(合作) on some of them with Christopher, working together as writer and illustrator(插图画家). Their connection is one that he never had with his own father.

“My father never said anything good about my writing;” Walter says. “That really hurt and bothered me a lot.”

Trying to make a good impression on his father, Walter started to use some of the stories that he had heard around the house in his writing. “ I even took his ghost stories and published them,” Walter says. “And when I showed them to him, he never commented on them. So I thought he hated me.”

“Did you ever ask him about it?” Christopher asks.

“No. When he was dying, I took him a book that I’d just finished. He picked it up and looked at it, and then he just laid it down. After he died, I went to his house and went through his papers. I saw X’s where his signature should have been. And then I found my father couldn’t read. I mean, that was why he never said anything about my writing. I could have read something to him. And that was ---- that was a barrier between us all my life.” 41. What can we infer from the second paragraph? A. Walter’s family was very rich.

B. Walter’s father loved him very much.

C. Walter’s father knew writing was important D. Walter knew what he wanted to be.

42. Why did Walter’s father never say anything good about Walter’s writing? A. He thought his writing was boring. B. He hated his son’s writing. C. He actually couldn’t read. D. He didn’t like reading at all.

43. What did Walter do to impress his father? A. He bought a typewriter with his own money. B. He wrote nearly 100 books.

C. He created books with his son, Christopher.

D. He wrote and published his father’s ghost stories. 44. The text is mainly about _______. A. Walter’s writing career.

Waving hands or twitching(抽动) face muscles might not be the first things you think about when preparing for a job interview. But as body language counts for a large part of how people know us, actions really do speak louder than words. So how can you adjust your body language for success?

Before your job interview, ask a friend to identify any bad habits you may have such as playing with your hair or drumming your fingers. You may be surprised to learn about some bad behavior that you weren’t aware of.

Next, stage a mock(模拟的) job interview with a friend and record it by video. “Viewing your body language as other people do is a valuable experience,” says Kelly from Kelly Speech Communications. “But if you want to gain more confidence, a questioning session with a friend is useful for noting any negative body language that occurs under pressure, such as foot-bouncing or lip-biting. Bear in mind that swaying(摇摆) and face touching can all threaten the success of a job interview.”

And if that’s not enough to give you an air of confidence, Kelly says that observing confident people and modeling their open, friendly and accepting gestures will also help you. It enables your actions to be read as you want, and decreases your risk of sending mixed messages.

When it comes to the job interview itself, Kelly recommends creating instant intimate(密切的) relationships with the interviewer by being sensitive to their body positions or poses, and adapting your movements and expressions accordingly. But if you find yourself forgetting words, concentrate more on yourself. Maintaining good eye contacts will also help convey trust and understanding.

Finally, the perfect handshake, like most body language, is all about finding a happy medium that you’re comfortable with.

45. Which of the following might be the best title of the text? A. Body Language Tips for a Job Interview B. Some Bad Habits in a Job Interview C. The Importance of Friends

D. Suggestions on How to Get a Job

46. How can one develop an intimate relationship with the interviewer? A. By adjusting oneself to the interviewer. B. By forgetting words during the interview.

C. By memorizing many facts before the interview. D. By minding one’s words in the whole interview.

47. Which of the following gestures is good for a job interview? A. Playing with hair. B. A steady gaze.

C. Foot-bouncing. D. Touching your face. 48. The text is mainly developed by _______.

A. analyzing causes B. making preparations C. examining differences D. following a time sequence
