However, anyone can boost their confidence by ensuring their, body language conveys a positive message.Practice these gestures and movements to project an airport confidence. Lean Forward When you are in a conversation, leaning forward indicates interest and attention, while maintaining distance indicates that you are disinterested. Research suggests that nonverbal signals such as leaning forward and facing straight ahead help convey feelings of interest. Slow Your Movements Fast movements make you appear more anxious. Everything from hand gestures to your walking pace can make a difference; slow down and notice how you feel more confident when you take your time. The key, however, is to maintain other signals like eye contact and posture while moving more slowly. Slow movements combined with poor eye contact and slouched (耷拉的) posture may cause people to see you less confident. Keep Your Chin Up Do you look at the ground when you are walking or talking? Instead, keeping your head up and facing your conversation partner conveys interest and confidence. It might feel unnatural initially, but you will eventually become used to this more confident pose. Give a Firm Handshake A weak handshake is a sign of a lack of confidence, so offer a firm hand when meeting others. How long your handshake lasts can also influence how people perceive you. Research has found that the length of a normal handshake is around three seconds or less.

Passage 3 （24-25高二上·浙江杭二·期中） The books we read when we’re young have a special sort of power, they can inspire us to be brave and resilient! (Marilda by Roald Dahi), take us on thrilling adventures (Divergent by Veronica Roth) and even introduce us to tragedy (悲剧) (The Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Paterson). They’re as formative as anything else in our young lives, and sometimes they’re the first place we encounter larger-than-life ideas, thinking of the lasting cultural import of To Kill a Mockingbird. In The Magic Words, Cheryl B．Klein, sets out to inform would-be writers on how great novels for young readers work. The market for YA (young-adult) novels is booming: sales in the children’s and YA sector have been neck and neck with those of adult books in recent years, and adult authors including Meg Wolitzer and Carl Hiaasen are getting in on the phenomenon. The Magic Words aims to be a master class. And in the era of promoted self-help sensations like Marie Kondo and Brenie Brown, The Magic Words is of a piece. Klein deconstructs the seemingly obvious (clear plot-lines, sympathetic characters) to reveal the technical significance of some beloved classics. L. M. Montgomery surely didn’t regard Anne of Green Gables as a cash-in endeavor. But for those who want to best-seller writers, Anne is instructive: what’s timeless and broadly appealing about Anne—her teenage heart and impulses (冲动) is what to examine. Once you understand that, Klein encourages you to get personal: What makes you ideal to write your story? And what does it mean to the reader? On the latter question, The Magic Words is more than a handbook. It is also a timely social commentary on the responsibility YA writers have to young adults. They must start with an awareness of their readers—not only their age but also how they might connect with the issues, like bullies or tolerance that the characters face. The narratives we tell young readers can influence how they understand and value the world around them. The magic isn’t in the words: it’s in how the words come together to reflect and confirm the realities of a diverse young-adult experience. 1．What can be learned about the books introduced? A．Divergent even introduces us to tragedy. B．Matilda can take us on thrilling adventures. C．To Kill a Mockingbird has lasting cultural significance. D．The Bridge to Terabithia can inspire us to be brave and resilient. 2．What is the current situation about YA novels? A．The market of YA novels is shrinking. B．Anne is a master in the field of YA novels. C．Adult authors are getting in the field of YA novels. D．Sales in the YA sector are less than those in the adults’. 3．According to the last paragraph, what should the would-be writers do? A．Fully understand their readers first. B．Find someone to sponsor their writing. C．Develop a strategy to meet the market. D．Copy the works of historical masters. 4．What’s the purpose of this passage? A．To promote the sales of YA books. B．To introduce a book for the future writers. C．To recommend a new writer. D．To arouse people’s interest in reading. Passage 4 （24-25高二上·浙江A9协作体·期中） Hong Kong is the gastronomical capital of the Asian mainland with about 69 Michelin starred restaurants in 2023. Here are some recommended for travelers. Super Luxurious Lung King Heen Restaurant If you can afford the best Cantonese cuisine and service, then this one in the Four Seasons Hotel might be the best in the world and has excellent scenery too. Price per person: 1,200 to 2,000 HKD Tel: 3196 8888 Ming Court Restaurant It was selected as a Michelin 2-star restaurant for 2010, and retained the rating in 2016. It is a luxury Chinese restaurant featuring Cantonese cuisine in the 5-star Cordis Hotel. Price per person: HKD 700 Tel: 3552 3028 Tim Ho Wan It is internationally distinguished as one of the cheapest 1-Michelin star restaurants in the world. It is ideal for most tourists and backpackers who want to taste excellent Cantonese food, but pay less. Price per person: HKD 75 Tel: 2332 3078 Bo Innovation Bo Innovation is surprising because the food isn’t traditional Chinese, but it is rated 3-Michelin stars.

When she learns about the horrors that the Nazis are imposing on the Jewish people, she and her family stop at nothing to protect Ellen and countless other Jews. Lois’ novel is a powerful reminder that cultural and religious differences are no divide between true friends. The Little Prince by Antoine It is the story of a little boy who falls to Earth from an Asteroid (小行星) after visiting several other asteroids to try to understand mankind. In his travels he meets a series of strange and delightful characters and an untamed fox. The Little Prince is a heartwarming tale of the power of friendship and trust. Charlotte’s Web by E. B．White Who doesn’t love a novel about talking animals? It opens the door to imagination, asking us to imagine what a world where animals could talk would be like. On a more serious note, it challenges us to ask ourselves how we’d treat animals if they could talk. If they could tell us their joys and their fears, would mankind treat them more humanely? To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee The story centers on Jean Louise Finch, an unusually intelligent girl who ages from six to nine years old during the novel. Her father, Atticus Finch, a well-known and respected lawyer, defends Tom Robinson, an African American who is falsely accused of killing a young white woman. It is both a young girl’s coming-of-age story and a darker drama about the roots and consequences of racism and prejudice in society. 1．What do the two books Number the Stars and The Little Prince both involve? A．History. B．Travel. C．Friendship. D．Family. 2．What kind of book is Charlotte’s Web? A．A fairy story book. B．An animal science book. C．A biology textbook. D．An animal book for kids. 3．What subject may the book To Kill a Mockingbird explore? A．Family conflicts. B．Career design. C．Legal systems. D．Social issues. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．D 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了四本一生至少要读一次的书。 1．细节理解题。根据Number the Stars by Lois中“Lois’ novel is a powerful reminder that cultural and religious differences are no divide between true friends. (Lois的小说有力地提醒我们，文化和宗教的差异并不能区分真正的朋友)”和The Little Prince by Antoine中“The Little Prince is a heartwarming tale of the power of friendship and trust. (《小王子》是一个关于友谊和信任的力量的暖心故事)”可知，《数星星》和《小王子》都涉及了友谊。故选C项。 2．细节理解题。根据Charlotte’s Web by E. B. White中“Who doesn’t love a novel about talking animals? It opens the door to imagination, asking us to imagine what a world where animals could talk would be like. (谁不喜欢会说话的动物的小说呢？它打开了想象的大门，让我们想象一个动物会说话的世界会是什么样子的)”可知，小说《夏洛的网》用想象力描绘了一个动物会说话的世界，因此是一本童话故事书。故选A项。 3．细节理解题。根据To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee中“It is both a young girl’s coming-of-age story and a darker drama about the roots and consequences of racism and prejudice in society. (这既是一个小女孩的成长故事，也是一部关于社会中种族主义和偏见的根源和后果的黑暗戏剧)”可知，《杀死一只知更鸟》揭示了社会中种族主义和偏见的根源和后果，因此它探究的主题是社会问题。故选D项。 Passage 3 （23-24高二上·浙江宁波鄞州·期中） Nobody likes to spend money on a new book only to face disappointment when it doesn’t live up to your expectations.

(Marilda by Roald Dahi), take us on thrilling adventures (Divergent by Veronica Roth) and even introduce us to tragedy (悲剧) (The Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Paterson). They’re as formative as anything else in our young lives, and sometimes they’re the first place we encounter larger-than-life ideas, thinking of the lasting cultural import of To Kill a Mockingbird. In The Magic Words, Cheryl B．Klein, sets out to inform would-be writers on how great novels for young readers work. The market for YA (young-adult) novels is booming: sales in the children’s and YA sector have been neck and neck with those of adult books in recent years, and adult authors including Meg Wolitzer and Carl Hiaasen are getting in on the phenomenon. The Magic Words aims to be a master class. And in the era of promoted self-help sensations like Marie Kondo and Brenie Brown, The Magic Words is of a piece. Klein deconstructs the seemingly obvious (clear plot-lines, sympathetic characters) to reveal the technical significance of some beloved classics. L. M. Montgomery surely didn’t regard Anne of Green Gables as a cash-in endeavor. But for those who want to best-seller writers, Anne is instructive: what’s timeless and broadly appealing about Anne—her teenage heart and impulses (冲动) is what to examine. Once you understand that, Klein encourages you to get personal: What makes you ideal to write your story? And what does it mean to the reader? On the latter question, The Magic Words is more than a handbook. It is also a timely social commentary on the responsibility YA writers have to young adults. They must start with an awareness of their readers—not only their age but also how they might connect with the issues, like bullies or tolerance that the characters face. The narratives we tell young readers can influence how they understand and value the world around them. The magic isn’t in the words: it’s in how the words come together to reflect and confirm the realities of a diverse young-adult experience. 1．What can be learned about the books introduced? A．Divergent even introduces us to tragedy. B．Matilda can take us on thrilling adventures. C．To Kill a Mockingbird has lasting cultural significance. D．The Bridge to Terabithia can inspire us to be brave and resilient. 2．What is the current situation about YA novels? A．The market of YA novels is shrinking. B．Anne is a master in the field of YA novels. C．Adult authors are getting in the field of YA novels. D．Sales in the YA sector are less than those in the adults’. 3．According to the last paragraph, what should the would-be writers do? A．Fully understand their readers first. B．Find someone to sponsor their writing. C．Develop a strategy to meet the market. D．Copy the works of historical masters. 4．What’s the purpose of this passage? A．To promote the sales of YA books. B．To introduce a book for the future writers. C．To recommend a new writer. D．To arouse people’s interest in reading. 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．A 4．B 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要在青少年小说市场蓬勃发展的背景下，推荐了Cheryl B. Klein的《神奇的文字》这本书，作者Klein在书中解构了那些看似显而易见的东西，揭示了一些受人喜爱的经典作品的技术意义，同时，这本书不仅仅是一本手册，也是对青少年作家对年轻人的责任的及时社会评论。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第一段内容“They’re as formative as anything else in our young lives, and sometimes they’re the first place we encounter larger-than-life ideas, thinking of the lasting cultural import of To Kill a Mockingbird.

(青少年小说市场正在蓬勃发展：近年来，儿童和青少年小说领域的销售额与成人书籍并驾齐驱，包括梅格·沃利泽和卡尔·希亚森在内的成人作家也参与了这一现象。)”可知，青少年小说市场蓬勃发展，而且，一些成人作家也进入了青少年小说的领域。故选C项。 3．细节理解题。根据文章末尾段内容“They must start with an awareness of their readers—not only their age but also how they might connect with the issues, like bullies or tolerance that the characters face. (他们必须从了解读者开始——不仅要了解他们的年龄，还要了解他们如何与这些问题联系起来，比如角色所面临的欺凌或宽容。)”可知，写青少年小说的人必须先做到从年龄上，从对问题的思考方面全方位地了解青少年。故选A项。 4．推理判断题。通过阅读文章内容可知，文章第一段末尾句“In The Magic Words, Cheryl B. Klein, sets out to inform would-be writers on how great novels for young readers work. (Cheryl B. Klein在《神奇的文字》一书中，打算告诉未来的作家，适合年轻读者的伟大小说是如何形成的。)”点明了文章的话题，即，文章主要在青少年小说市场蓬勃发展的背景下，推荐了Cheryl B. Klein的《神奇的文字》这本书，希望这本书对青少年小说的未来作家们在写小说时以指导。由此可知，文章的目的是为未来的作家介绍一本书。故选B项。 Passage 4 （24-25高二上·浙江A9协作体·期中） Hong Kong is the gastronomical capital of the Asian mainland with about 69 Michelin starred restaurants in 2023.

Nesting Dolls In a family of women with golden brown skin, Anyiaka, a Black girl with a much darker complexion (肤色), feels out of place.
