But the first woman in space is actually a Soviet astronaut who beat out 400 applicants to pilot the Vostok 6 spacecraft in 1963 — twenty years before Ride took her historic spaceflight. There was nothing in Valentina Tereshkova’s early life that showed she would become a space pioneer. Tereshkova finished school at age 16 and went to work to help support her family. She seemed to follow her mother’s footsteps as a textile factory worker，except one interest：skydiving. By the time she was 22，she was jumping out of a plane pretty regularly, and then came the space race. By 1962，the competition to get into space had been starting between the Soviet Union and the United States for about seven years. The two countries，in an effort to do better than the other in exploring space，had each launched men into space. During the space race，the Soviet Union and the US constantly tried to be better. After putting a man in space，the obvious next step was to send a woman into space. The Soviet Union’s lead spacecraft designer，Sergey Korolyov，is said to have been helpful in the decision. There are rumors(传言) that the Soviet Union knew that the USA was planning to send a woman to space and wanted to beat the Americans. Inspired by Gagarin’s flight，Tereshkova wrote to the Soviet authorities (当局) hoping for any future training programme for female astronauts. The authorities answered and in early 1962 she became one of just five women accepted for astronaut training. On June 16,1963，Tereshkova took off，eventually circling the Earth 48 times over the course of almost three days and securing her place in history as the first woman to leave the Earth’s atmosphere. 1.When did Sally Ride go into space? A. In 1963． B. In 1973． C. In 1983． D. In 1993． 2.Why did Tereshkova choose to be a textile factory worker? A. Because she thought highly of her mother. B. Because she had to give a hand to her family. C. Because she wanted to save money for the space race. D. Because she was allowed to do skydiving. 3.What can be learned according to the fourth paragraph? A. The USA did better in space exploration. B. Tereshkova stood out because of competition. C. It was dangerous to send a woman into space. D. Sergey Korolyov stole secrets from the US. 4.What did Tereshkova do on knowing a woman to be sent to space? A. She suggested some training programmes for women. B. She refused the Soviet authorities’ invitation. C. She introduced herself to the training programme. D. She announced she would be the first woman in space. B Suppose you are out shopping and come across a friend who starts telling you a story that seems to be dragging on and on. You want to seem interested, so you offer the occasional “Oh” or “I see”. To your surprise, though, this person angrily stops in his tracks and says, “Sorry if I’m boring you!” Where did this come from? Clearly, your body language must have betrayed (出卖) you. The idea that verbal (口头的) and nonverbal messages can conflict was the inspiration for a recently published study from Yale University’s Lucylle Armentano. As part of her study of communication in relationships, Armentano’s research also examined communication channels in people meeting for the first time. To test the role of a mismatch between verbal messages and nonverbal messages on emotional communication, Armentano and her partner created experimental conditions to see what happens when someone asks for help from strangers. The research team created videotapes of a Yale student expressing nervousness in his words, with gestures, or both. The gestures included running his hands through his hair, grabbing his arms, and facially expressing uneasiness. The key question was whether the other participants, another 82 Yale students, would believe the student and provide the help he was requesting. They needed to give their responses. Turning to the findings, those nonverbal cues for nervousness had a greater impact on helping behavior than the verbal cues. Surprisingly, helping behavior was the highest when verbal expressions of nervousness were low but nonverbal cues were high. Recognizing that your body language can outweigh your words means that you need to be mindful of what your body is doing when you’re interacting with others. Generally, when someone is speaking to you, you want to look like you’re interested. Not only should you maintain eye contact, but you should keep your body still and face toward that person. If you’re not trying to look interested, it may be more polite to say you have to be somewhere else. 5.What is paragraph 1 mainly about? A. The obvious advantages of body language. B. A situation where body language is a must. C. The proper way to interact with old friends. D. An example of a mismatch between verbal and nonverbal expressions. 6.What were the 82 Yale students asked to do? A. Respond to the student’s request. B. Identify the types of body language. C. Express nervousness in their words. D. Try to win the nervous student’s trust. 7.What played a more important role in helping the student win kindness? A. His gestures of nervousness. B. His sincere verbal expressions. C. His positive attitude to nervousness. D. His good manners in front of others. 8.What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph? A. Make a prediction. B. Offer some advice. C. Present some facts. D. Give some warnings. 五、七选五 How to keep a Relationship Healthy and Strong Are you new to experiencing relationships?
