Perhaps the most famous theory, the study of body movement, was suggested by Professor Ray Birdwhistell. He believes that physical appearance is often culturally programmed. In other words, we learn our looks—we are not born with them. A baby has generally informed face features. A baby, according to Birdwhistell, learns where to set the eyebrows by looking at those around-family and friends. This helps explain why the people of some areas of the United States look so much alike, new Englanders or Southerners have certain common face features that cannot be explained by genetics(遺傳學). The exact shape of the mouth is not set at birth, it is learned after. In fact, the final mouth shape is not formed until well after new teeth are set. For many, this can be well into grown-ups. A husband and wife together for a long time often come to look alike. We learn our looks from those around us. This is perhaps why in a single country area where people smile more than those in other areas. In the United States, for example, the South is the part of the country where the people smile most frequently. In New England they smile less, and in the western part of New York State still less. Many southerners find cities such as New York cold and unfriendly, partly because people on Madison Avenue smile less than people on Peachtree Street in Atlanta. Georgia. People in Atlanta, Georgia. People in largely populated areas also smile and greet each other in public less than people in small towns do.
Ray Birdwhistell believes that physical appearance _______.
A. has little to do with culture B. has much to do with culture

There are some topics that readers never grow bored with, and the search for a suitable partner（伴侶） is one of them. Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, first published in 1813, tells the story of five young women, all of whom are looking for a husband. In order to fully understand the novel, the readers must know that at the time when Jane Austen was writing, if a family was not rich, the daughters needed to marry well in order to live a comfortable, independent life. That is the reason why Mrs. Bennet, the mother of the five girls, is so eager to have her daughters married.
The heroine of the story is Elizabeth Bennet, and as in all good romantic novels, she and Darcy, the man she finally marries, remain separate until the very end of the story. The wealthy Darcy is a proud, unsociable man, and when Elizabeth hears that he has insulted both her and her family, she dislikes him very much. Poor Darcy then falls head over heels in love with Elizabeth, and has to work terribly hard to persuade her to change her mind about him. He succeeds of course, and they live happily ever after.
Set at the turn of the 19th century, the novel is still attractive to modern readers. It has become one of the most popular novels and receives great attention from literary scholars（學者）.Modern interest in the book has resulted in a number of dramatic（戲劇的）and a lot of novels and stories modeling after Austen’s memorable characters or themes. To date, the book has sold some 20 million copies worldwide.
Jane Austen is rightly famous for her style. Her sentences have a wonderful rhythm（韻律）, and she makes such clever, true comments about people. It is not surprising that Pride and Prejudice has lasted.
1.In the 19th century, a poor girl in Britain was often encouraged to .
A. master the skills of writing B. marry the one she loved
C. obey her parents D. change her life by marrying rich
2.The underlined word “insulted” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to .

B. They both come from poor families and wish to marry rich.
C. They get separated from each other shortly after being married.
D. Darcy falls over and gets hurt but Elizabeth still loves him.
4.According to the passage, Pride and Prejudice _________.
A. was first published in 1813 and sold 20 million copies soon

首先請閱讀下列6出電影的簡要介紹，并按照要求匹配信息。
A．It is about the legend of vampire, the story of the wolf man, the
campus life, moved love story, horror, adventure and other elements. The story
begins with the main character, Isabella (Bella) Swan, moving from Phoenix, to
the small town of Forks, a dreary and rain-filled place, to live with her
father. She develops a relationship with fellow student, Edward Cullen, who
initially annoys her, but despite a rough beginning, they fall in love. After
witnessing some strange behavior from Edward, Bella eventually discovers that
he is a vampire, but despite the very real risk to her life, she cannot bear to
be apart from him. Eventually Bella is introduced to Edward’s vampire family,
not all of who welcome her with open arms, however, it is Edward’s family that
go to great lengths to save Bella when her life is threatened.
B. With an absent father and a withdrawn and
depressed mother, 17 year-old Ree Dolly keeps her family together in a dirt
poor rural area. She's taken backwards however when the local Sheriff（縣治安官） tells her that her father put up
their house for his bail（保釋）and unless he shows up for
his trial in a week's time, they will lose it all. She knows her father is
involved in the local drug trade and manufactures crystal meth but anywhere she
goes the message is the same: stay out of it and stop poking your nose in other
people's business. She refuses to listen, even after her father's brother,
Teardrop, tells her he's probably been killed. She pushes on, putting her own
life in danger, for the sake of her family until the truth, or enough of it, is
revealed.
C. Dom Cobb is a skilled thief, the absolute
best in the dangerous art of extraction, stealing valuable secrets from deep
within the subconscious during the dream state, when the mind is at its most
vulnerable. Cobb's rare ability has made him a coveted（妄想的） player in this deceitful new
world of corporate espionage, but it has also made him an international
fugitive. Now Cobb is being offered a chance at redemption（贖）. One last job could give him his life back but only if he can
accomplish the impossible-inception. Instead of the perfect heist, Cobb and his
team of specialists have to pull off the reverse: their task is not to steal an
idea but to plant one. But no amount of careful planning or expertise can
prepare the team for the dangerous enemy that seems to predict their every
move...
D. Reflecting on her earlier life, she
observes that for most of it she was either with a man or in the process of
leaving one, and so in the first stages of her journey she experiments with
singleness. Not with solitude, exactly, since Liz is naturally sociable and
acquires friends easily. Back home in New York she has Delia, and in Rome a
Swedish woman named Sofi introduces her to an amicable（心平氣和）group of Italians, including a
fellow whose last name is Spaghetti. While he is seen mainly in group shots,
his namesake food is filmed in loving close-ups. In keeping with the theme of
self-examination, Liz’s trip is confined to countries that begin with the letter
“I”. From the ruins of Italy, to an ashram in India, and then to
Indonesia......
E. John Crowley is a worried businessman and
father of two children stricken with Pompe disease, suffering of muscle
deterioration（惡化）with an
age expectancy of nine years. With critical birthdays looming on the horizon,
Crowley decides to take a chance and pursue research scientist Robert
Stonehill, a rebellious thinker in the field of Pompe with radical ideas on
enzyme therapy. Promising money he doesn't necessarily have, Crowley talks
Stonehill into a business venture, pushing the irascible（暴躁的） scientist into research while he worries about the cash flow. With
the clock ticking, Stonehill presents challenging theories, irritating the
interest of pharmaceutical giants, who demand results practically overnight.
With Stonehill feeling the heat during this demoralizing process, Crowley
fights to maintain the face of Pompe, to keep the cure from becoming just
another compromised drug on the market.
F. Bob Ho, a Chinese spy who was loaned to
the CIA and is now retiring so he can settle down and marry his girlfriend,
Gillian, who lives next door and doesn't know he's a spy. She thinks he's a pen
importer. Around her, Bob acts like a boring country man, wears eyeglasses, and
hides his super-spy abilities. Gillian loves that he's normal and reliable, not
like her ex-husband, who ran off and left her with three kids. So Gillian has
to go out of town because her father's in the hospital, and Bob volunteers to
babysit so he can bond with the children. Meanwhile, a Russian terrorist named
Poldark has escaped CIA custody and is looking for a top-secret code that young
Ian accidentally downloaded from Bob's computer, which means Poldark and his
goons are going to show up any minute now and kill them all. Bob must save the
children -- and the world!
