Jenny Smith, 34, an assistant vice­president at a bank in New York, was interviewing candidates (申请人) for a position which required a person with good communication skills. One candidate in particular stood out, but not in a good way. While she could have been very intelligent, her body language sent out very different messages. Her handshake was more of a finger shake, and her eye contact was weak. To Jenny, what the candidate said didn't matter because her body language said everything: she wasn't suitable for the position. The candidate may have been quite appropriate (合适的), but she didn't manage to get that across. So our body language may not do us justice. But there are some signals which are very common and are worth a thousand words. For example, a handshake can say much more than “hello, nice to meet you”. The most important part of a handshake is palm­to­palm contact. It's even more important than how strong your handshake is. The palm­to­palm contact makes people seem honest: it seems to say “I am sincere (真诚的)”. A weak handshake when the palms don't touch makes you seem unfriendly and insincere. But people sometimes use body language to give each other the wrong impression. Somebody who has a firm handshake may pretend to be sincere, and somebody with a weak handshake may just be a bit shy and nothing more. Body language can also be overdone. While eye contact gives an impression of friendliness, too much eye contact or eye contact which is too intense (十分强烈的) can make people feel uncomfortable.1The candidate for the job failed because _.

My main inspiration for characters in my writing comes from “people watching” which I do anywhere on the bus, walk around, in restaurants. I also listen people's conversations, that is quite inspiring too. Beside, some of my idea for stories and topics to write about come from personal life experiences. For an example, when I do something I'm really proud of, I often turn them into a piece of writing. I also like to write when I go on holiday or on day trips. Final, I'm inspired to write more when the weather is fine, because I can sit outside, in the sunshine, or write in my notebooks.一、单句语法填空1.trulyparing3.Having worked4.anger5.majoring6.to function7.Faced8.at9.facial二、阅读理解1.B细节理解题。根据第四段中的“To Jenny, what the candidate said didn't matter because her body language said everything: she wasn't suitable for the position.”可知，应聘者因没有用合适的肢体语言而面试失败。2.D细节理解题。根据第五段中的“The most important part of a handshake is palm­to­palm contact.
