But he did not know about brushes before a visitor told him he needed one. In those days, a brush was made from camel's hair. There were no camels nearby. Benjamin decided that cat hair would work instead. He cut some fur from the family cat to make a brush The brush did not last long. Soon Benjamin needed more fur. Before long, the cat began to look ragged (蓬乱.). His father said that the cat must be sick. Benjamin was forced to tell his father what he had beendoing. The cat's situation was about to improve. That year, one of Benjamin's cousins, Mr. Pennington, came to visit. He was impressed with Bcnjamin's drawings. When he went home, he sent Benjamin a box of paint and some brushes. He also sent six engravings(版画) which were drawn by an artist. These were the first pictures and first real paint and brushes Benjamin had ever seen. In 1747, when Benjamin was nine years old, Mr. Pennington returned for another visit. He was amazed at what Benjamin had done with his gift. He asked Benjamin's parents if he might take the boy back to Philadelphia for a visit. In the city, Mr. Pennington gave Benjamin materials for creating oil paintings. The boy began a land- scape (风.景) painting. William Williams, a well-known painter, came to see him work. Williams was im- pressed with Benjamin and gave him two classic books on painting to take home. The books were long and dull. Benjamin could read only a little, having been a poor student. But he later said, "Those two books were my companions (伙伴) by day, and under my pillow at night." While it is likely that he understood very little of the books, they were his introduction to classical paintings. The nine-year-old boy decided then that he would be an artist 33. What is the passage mainly about? A. Benjamin's visit to Philadelphia B. Williams's influence on Benjamin C. The beginning of Benjamin's life as an artist D. The friendship between Benjamin and Pennington 34. What can we infer (推断) from the paragraph 3? A. The cat would be closely watched B. The cat would get some medical care C. Benjamin would leave his home shortly D. Benjamin would no longer use the cat's fur to make a brush 35. What did Pennington do to help Benjamin develop his talent? A.

Williams's two books helped Benjamin to A. master the use of paints B. make up his mind to be a painter C. get to know other painters D. appreciate landscape paintings (D) If the eyes are the windows of the soul, then the body is the mirror of our feclings. If we are feeling great, we may give our body signals (信号). 1f we look at somcone clse's body, we can often tell how they are fecling by their body signals. So reading body language signals is a great tool in daily communication If you don't think that learning how to read and use body language is important, here are some numbers for you. 7% of the information we receive is from what people actually say and 38% of the information we receive is from the tone and the speed of their voice: while 55% of the information we receive is from their body languagc. These non-verbal (非□头的) signals will help you a lot, but you still need to focus on what people are saying. If you focus too much on their body language signals, you and the person may feel uncomfortable. It's useful to be able to read people's language, but it's useful to learn how to send the right signals and avoid the wrong signals too. Body language may be given several explanations. Many signals have different meanings, depending on the person and the situations (情况). Be sure of it when you are trying to read a body language signal. 37. The numbers mentioned in the second paragraph are to A. explain what body language is B. show the importance of body language C. tell us body language is less used than verbal language D. tell us body language is the only tool in communication 38. According to the writer, body language is very A. simple to learn B. negative to be used C. hard to understand D. helpful in communication 39. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE? A. Body language is uncomfortable B. What people are saying is not important C. Body language can show your feeling D. To send wrong signals is not body language 40. We can infer (推断) that the writer will most probably talk about next.
