21、Facial expressions are the primary way people exhibit emotion and read the feelings of others. Happiness, sadness, disgust, fear and surprise can be communicated through facial expressions alone. But when part of the face is masked, it becomes more difficult to recognize these cues.

If you cannot read someone else' s emotional state, your ability to empathize with them may be compromised. Likewise, if your own mask is hiding your emotional state, others may not be able to empathize with you. Wearing a mask can also make you feel more distracted and self-conscious, further weakening your connection to others.

Fortunately, you can regain some control over communication by working with what you have left-the eyes. If you want to increase understanding with a masked individual, you should look them in the eyes, which may be easier said than done. Eye contact generates self- consciousness, consumes extra brain power and becomes uncomfortable after only three seconds. But bear in mind, eye contact can also make you appear more intelligent and trustworthy.

You might be surprised how much information is conveyed by the body itself. For instance, when someone is happy, they stand up straighter, when they are sad, they drop their head; and when they are angry, their whole body tenses up. Learning how people use their bodies to convey emotion may help reduce the uncertainty you feel when communicating with someone in a mask.

Become aware of your own body language, too. When engaged in a conversation, you can appear more attentive by turning your body toward the individual, leaning in or nodding. To let another person know you want to start speaking , straighten your posture, or nod more frequently. Finally, he «ware that imitating the posture of another person can increase how much they like you and even agree with you.

By all means, continue the proper measures to keep yourself safe, but don't neglect your relationships as a consequence. Social distance doesn't have to mean socially distant.

【1】What will happen if you wear a mask?

A．Your fear won't be known by others.

B．Others will have difficulty understanding you.

C．You will lose the ability to empathize with others.

D．Others won't focus on your face.

【2】Why is eye contact difficult?

A．It may lead to misunderstanding.

B．It requires more brain power.

C．It may cause people to believe you less.

D．It will result in social distance.

【3】What does paragraph 4 and 5 mainly talk about?

A．Body language is a double-edged sword.

B．Body language can convey shocking information.

C．We should make good use of body language.

D．Be careful with your body language when talking.

【4】What is the best title of this passage?

A．How do people use their bodies to convey emotion?

B．Facial expressions, the primary way of human connection.

C．Facial expressions, eye contact, body language, which is the best?

D．How do we keep socially distant to keep ourselves safe?

23、   Back in 2012, Dylan Mayer was 19 years old. He was a few years into a new passion: scuba (水肺) diving. He says spending time under water is like visiting an alien planet full of strange creatures.

Dylan grew up in Maple Valley Washington, just outside of the liberal blue bubble of Seattle. Dylan learned young how to hunt and do farm work. On October 31, 2012, he decided to marry his love of scuba diving with his desire to be self-sufficient and harvest his own food. That gray morning, the goal was to pull a giant pacific octopus from its den, wrestle it to the surface and take it home for dinner.

He and a friend headed to the popular dive site at Cove 2 in West Seattle. With his bare hands, Dylan caught an 80-pound cephalopod (头足类动物). “The key is to stay calm. Once you start to panic, you’ll drown,” said Dylan, recalling his 45-minute hand-to-tentacle (触须) battle with the octopus.

But when he hauled it out of the water, people nearby didn’t look very happy. Dylan and his dive partner threw the octopus in the back of their truck and quickly left the scene.

Even though what Dylan did was perfectly legal and even though octopus is on restaurant menus all over the Northwest, the taking of this particular octopus touched a nerve. Adult members of the diving community that Dylan was so excited to be a part of not only roundly rejected him, but also threatened to kill him and his family. However, one diver from the Cove 2 community rose above the criticism to guide this young diver.

【1】What did Dylan Mayer decide to do on October 31, 2012?

【2】Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

A.Dylan went to Cove 2 alone.

B.Dylan spent 54 minutes catching the octopus.

C.Dylan attached great importance to keeping calm.

D.Dylan caught a cephalopod with some equipment.

【3】What were people’s reactions to Dylan’s taking of the octopus?

A.Not all people liked it.

B.People nearby were very satisfied.

C.Adult members of the diving community were very excited.
