7、For the first 10 years after the Wright brothers' original flight in 1903, flying was only a sport．It was a pastime for daredevils （不怕死的人）．One very determined daredevil was Bessie Coleman．She was the first black woman to fly an airplane．

       Coleman, born in Texas in 1892, the tenth of 13 children, dreamed of becoming a pilot．To earn money for flying lessons, she washed other people's laundry．At the age of 19 she took a train to Chicago, where she began to study in a beauty school．For five years she worked in a barbershop, and then she looked for a flying school．There were none in the United States that would teach women, but Coleman heard that there were schools in France that would．So she studied the language and sailed off to France．

       When she returned to the United States in 1921, Coleman was the first licensed black woman pilot．Her "aerial acrobatic （航空特技）exhibitions" impressed audiences．She took her airplane through loop-the-loops and flew upside down．She did slow rolls and sharp rolls．Audiences were amazed when she performed a move called "falling leaf．"

       Coleman became a famous person．She performed her acrobatic flights all over the country．She also spoke to African-American audiences in schools, churches, and theatres．Fly, she told them．Be a part of the new aviation（航空） industry．Many young African-American men listened to her．Some became honored military pilots during World War II．Many others made their careers in aviation．

       On April 29, 1926, Coleman was flying when a tool carelessly left in the airplane hit the control stick．The plane went into a dive and did not recover．The daring 34-year-old pilot was killed．

1．Bessie Coleman went to France to ____．

       A．work in a barbershop                    B．study the language

       C．look for a flying school                    D．take flying lessons

2．Which of the following is probably an "aerial acrobatic"?

       A．Flying upside down．                B．Speaking to audiences．

       C．Getting a pilot's licence．                D．Impressing audiences．

3．The underlined word "exhibition" in paragraph 3 means _____．

       A．a(chǎn) holding back                                B．a(chǎn) public show

       C．falling leaf                                        D．loop-the-loops

4．What would be the best title for the passage?

       A．An early daredevil                          B．The first flying woman

       C．A pioneer in aviation               D．The first licensed black pilot

6、Most people call it "body language" —the clues（線索）to the meaning that we get from gesture, facial expressions, posture —everything that isn't spoken．Experts call it "nonverbal communication," but it means the same thing: a second source of human communication that is often more reliable to understanding what is really going on than the words themselves．

       Understanding body language is important to success, whether in the business world or in our personal lives．However, most of our ideas about body language are wrong, according to modern communication research．

       There is a belief that people with shifty （變化的）eyes are probably lying．As Paul Ekman says, "When we asked people how they could tell if someone was lying, too much blinking（眨眼） and shifty eyes were the winners．But sometimes people act like that because they are shy．Liars pretend to be calm in order not to be caught．

       Ekman goes on to argue against such a wrong belief．Although this kind of body language is probably an expression of nervousness, it is not always because the person is lying．Shyness can, for example, make people shift their eyes．To understand what someone's behavior means, you have to watch them carefully．

       There is also a belief that when meeting someone, the more eye contact, the better．As a result people would like to make initial （開始的）contact in formal situations, like a job interview, by staring fixedly at the other human．Yet Ekman points out that most of us are comfortable with eye contact lasting a few seconds, but any eye contact that is longer than that can make us nervous．

       In short, you must carefully consider the speaker and the speaking environment．Experts suggest that unless you know about someone's basic communication style, you will have little hope in understanding their true feelings through body language．In other words, body language carries important but not always true messages．

1．According to the passage, body language is _____．

       A．a(chǎn) language that is not spoken              B．a(chǎn) clue to get the meaning

       C．a(chǎn) reflection of people's behaviors         D．a(chǎn) source of human communication

2．The word "that" in paragraph 3 refers to ____．

       A．blinking            B．lying                C．staring             D．pretending
