IV READING.
A
Sometimes you know things about people the first time you see them, for example, that you want to
be friends with them or that you don't trust them But perhaps this kind of intuition isn't as hard to explain as it may seem For instance, people give out body language signals all the time The way you hold your body, head and arms tells people about your mood If you hold your arms tightly at your sides, or fold them across your chest, people will generally feel that you are being defensive
Holding your head to one side shows interest in the other, while an easy, open posture indicates
that you are self-confident All this affects the way you feel about someone
Also, a stranger may remind you of a meeting with someone This may be because of something as simple as the fact that he or she is physically similar to someone who treated you well or badly Your feelings about a stranger could be influenced by a smell in the air that brings to mind a place where you were happy as a child Since even a single word can bring back a memory such as that, you may never realize it is happening
46 What does the word "open" in the passage most closely mean?
A Unrestrained B Relaxed C Confined D Unlimited
47 What influences your impression of a person you meet the first time?
A Intuition B Familiarity C Knowledge D Feeling
48 What one feels about a stranger may be influenced by something that .
A strengthens one's past behaviours B reminds one of one's past treatment
C revives one's past memories D points to one's childhood
49 What does the second paragraph discuss?
A Meanings of signals one implies towards a stranger
B Factors that may influence one's feelings about a stranger
C How people usually behave to a stranger
D Factors that cause people to act differently
50 Intuition described in the passage can be explained by means of _.
B Read the passage, then choose one word (A, B, C or D) to fill in each blank.
