3．On the first day of school，I ran into my new English teacher，Ms Kirschmann.I really mean that-I literally ran into her.
As I began to apologize，she started "shouting" at me.I was a bit afraid ，but I soon realized that she was just saying hello and welcoming me to her class in a very loud voice.
Kirsch，as she wanted us to call her，had a creative and fascinating character.Her hair color，fashion sense and energy took up the entire room.When we read the play Macbeth by Shakespeare，Kirsch let us play characters and wear masks（面具）.There's a big drum in the classroom.Every time we read the word "thunder" in the text，she would hit the drum!My classmates and I would laugh every time.During group discussions，Kirsch often told us to sit in a circle on the floor.We talked about the play and she took notes of what we said.Doing so made us feel independent and challenge ourselves more with critical（批判性的）thinking.
Kirsch is really a social butterfly.She smiles，laughs and tells jokes wherever she goes.But I found out about another side of her the other day.
After school that day，I saw Ms Kirschmann with her son.She was persuading（勸說）him to put on his jacket.She spoke with such a gentle voice that I was quite surprised.Until then，it didn't occur to me that Ms Kirschmann could be quiet.I suddenly felt a lot of respect for this lady who was energetic，calm，intelligent and caring all at once.

4．If the eyes are the windows of the soul，then the body is the mirror of the feelings.If we are feeling great，we may give out our body signals（信號）.If we look at someone else's body，we can often be told how they are feeling by their body signals.So I think reading body language signals is a great tool in daily communication.It can help us communicate with others more easily if we use it in the right way.
Here are some numbers for you to know how important it is to read and use body language.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 language.
These non-verbal（非口頭的）signals will help you a lot，but you still need to focus on what people are saying.If you pay too much attention on their body language signals，you and the people may feel uncomfortable.
It is useful to learn how to send the right signals and avoid the wrong signals，and it is useful to be able to read people's body language too.Body language may be given several interpretations.Many signals have different meanings.It depends on the person，the situation and the culture.For example，in the US，people wave goodbye with the palm（手掌）facing the person they're waving to.But in other cultures，people may wave goodbye with the palm up to the sky，and the fingers opening and closing.To people in the US，this might look like a gesture asking someone to come closer.So you have to be sure of the meaning when you are trying to read a body language signal...
（1）What does the writer think of body language？
A．It is simple to learn.
B．It is hard to understand.
C．It is difficult to be used.
D．It is helpful in communication.
（2）What can we learn from the passage？
A．It is not important to use verbal signals.
B．Body language can show one's feelings.
C．Body language makes people uncomfortable.
D．Wrong signals can play the same role as the right signals.
（3）The underlined word "interpretations" in Paragraph 4 means.
A．names
B．excuses
C．meanings
D．thoughts
（4）What will the writer most probably talk about in the next paragraph？
A．What the wrong body language signals are.
B．How to understand body language correctly.
C．Why people wrongly understand body language.
D．Numbers of people wrongly using body language.組卷：25引用：2難度：0.5
