21、 There are many different types of nonverbal communication. The following are some examples, which communicate your interest in others.
Facial expressions
The human face is extremely expressive, able to express countless emotions without saying a word. And unlike some forms of nonverbal communication, facial expressions are common. The facial expressions for happiness, sadness, anger, surprise, and fear are the same across cultures.
Body movements and posture(姿势)
Consider how your views of people are affected by the way they sit, walk, stand up, or hold their head. The way you move and carry yourself communicates a wealth of information to the world. This type of nonverbal communication includes your posture, behaviour, stance(站姿), and small movements.
Eye contact
Since the visual sense is dominant for most people, eye contact is an especially important type of nonverbal communication. The way you look at someone can communicate many things, including interest, affection, hostility, or attraction. Eye contact is also important in maintaining the flow of conversation and for determining the other person's response.
Space
Have you ever felt uncomfortable during a conversation because the other person was standing too close and invading your space? We all need physical space, although that need differs depending on the culture, the situation, and the closeness of the relationship.

22、 To see the world is one thing; to have someone to share it with is another【1】.A travel partner can be a close friend, a family member, a pal you’ve met online, or a business friend.

Traveling alone is fun, but wouldn’t you feel lonely?【2】. This is especially true if you can get a travel companion who is very familiar with the place you’re traveling to. You don’t have to ask any information from the locals, and you can increase the time you spend in the country.
You can have someone to share the expenses with
【3】. You can’t simply ignore the rising price of hotels or plane tickets. You should also think about your daily needs, such as your food.

However, when you have a travel friend, you can have someone to share the expenses with.【4】.

23、Transport has a lot to answer for when it comes to harming the planet. While cars and trains are moving towards greener, electric power, emissions(排放) from air travel are expected to increase massively by 2050. If we want big green sky solutions, we need blue sky thinking. Fortunately, there’s plenty of that happening right now, particularly the short-haul flights powered by batteries.
Harbour Air is the largest seaplane airline in North America, flying 30, 000 commercial flights in 40 seaplanes each year. Significantly, all Harbour Air routes last less than 30 minutes, making it perfectly fit for electric engines. “As an airline, we’re currently in the process of turning all our planes into electric airplanes.” says CEO Greg McDougall. To make this happen, the airline has partnered up with MagniX to create the world’s first commercial flight with an electric engine.
Making the skies electric isn’t just good for the environment, it also makes sound financial sense: a small aircraft uses $400 on traditional fuel for a 100-mile flight, while an electric one costs $8-12 for the same distance, and that’s before you consider the higher maintenance (保养) costs of a traditional engine. There’s also the added bonus that electric planes are just much more pleasant to fly in. No loud engine noise, no smell of fuel, just environmentally friendly peace and quiet.
While there has been real progress in the e-plane industry, the technical challenges that remain are keeping everyone’s feet firmly on the ground. A battery, even a lithium one, only provides 250 watt- hours per kilogram; compare this to liquid fuel, which has a specific energy of 11, 890 watt-hours per kilogram. Carrying enough batteries, however, would make the plane too heavy to get off the ground. In aircraft, where every bit of weight counts, this can’t just be ignored.
The transition (过渡) from gas to electric in the automobile industry has been made easier by hybrids-vehicles powered by both fuel and electricity. Many believe the same pattern could be followed in the air. Fuel consumption could be reduced as the electric part is switched on at key parts of the journey, especially on take-off and landing.
It’s certainly an exciting time for electric flying. With companies like Harbour Air taking the lead, battery-powered planes, especially on short-haul journeys, are set to become a reality in a few years.
【1】Why is Harbour Air fit for electric flights?
A.It runs short routes.
B.It has a strong partner.
C.Its planes can land on the sea.
D.It has planes with powerful engines.
【2】The expression “added bonus” refers to the fact that electric planes _______.
A.give passengers more pleasant views
B.bring airlines more financial benefits
C.offer more enjoyable flying experiences
D.cost less in maintenance than traditional ones
【3】What might be the biggest challenge of electric flying?
A.To improve the ground service for e-planes.
B.To find qualified technicians for e-plane industry.
C.To calculate(计算)the energy needed to power e-planes.
D.To balance power and weight of batteries in e-planes.
【4】What is the author’s attitude towards the prospect of electric flying?
A.Short-sighted
B.Wait-and-see.
C.Optimistic.
D.Skeptical.
24、Here’s How To Have A Calmer Sunday Night

【2】

You might want to establish a good bedtime and engage in an activity you enjoy, such as reading a book, watching your favorite show or doing gentle yoga. So, ending the weekend in an anger certainly won’t help you feelgood about the upcoming week, but a calm Sunday night schedule will.
Prepare for Monday morning
Putting things in place to start your Monday on the right foot is a good way to ease some of your Sunday scaries, according to Francis Sopper, the CEO of productivity coaching organization GTD Focus.【3】.
Plan fun things for the week
To help reduce your sense of despair, Janssen, a productivity consultant at Ashley Janssen Consulting, suggested making plans to look forward to during the week, like dinner with a friend or a movie night with your partner. You could even add things to your. Monday morning routine to make the day a little more pleasant. 【4】 . Or order your favorite breakfast to eat before you start work.
