A group of women practice moves including "The Lion/' showing the tongue hanging out and eyes rolled up. Hagen encourages class members to hold the position for 60 seconds, joking: "You can do this any time. It really helps you get a seat on the train/Hagen recently released a book, “The Yoga Face: Remove Wrinkles with the Eventual Natural Facelift.n She said she developed a workshop using facial yoga because women wanted to look their best, nbut they weren't really thinking about how to exercise their facial muscles.nShe said facial muscles become weak and flabby and need regular exercise and circulation to reduce wrinkles. Besides "The Lion/' other exercises include nSatchmo,n in which the cheeks are blown out Louis Armstrong-style, and “Marilyn,“ in which attractive kisses are blown to strengthen mouth muscles for full and firm lips. nIt uses the same principles of exercise you would use for any other parts of your body," Hagen said. nFacial muscles also become more toned, so it is a natural way of getting a lift.*1Hagen recommends facial yoga for those wanting to find outer and inner beauty, saying, "the emotional aspect is just as important as the physiological/1 But she does not rule out plastic surgery or Botox. nI don*t rule it out for myself.

Nearly 60 per cent of Australian workers are not happy with their employer, but almost 50 per cent stick it out because they believe there are not many ideal companies around, a survey released today shows.The report by career networking site found that after taking into account working hours, staff morale, industry, wages, image, charity support and career progression, the majority of the people surveyed believed their company did not quite make the grade.Just over 25 per cent of res pondents claimed their company's record regarding staff morale （心境）was downright awful, 30 per cent said their working hours were too long and inflexible, 59 per cent reported that their offices are shoddy and dull, and 32 per cent said their wages were far too low."Employers must realise that the Australian workplace is an environment of low unemployment so they need to provide better working environments or risk losing staff/ CEO of Campbell Sallabank said.Those that are considered to be respectable and glamorous firms . with great working conditions are few and far between. Only 17 per cent said they believe they worked for an ideal company, while 33 per cent said the competition was tough to get into those types of firms.nWorkers should not hold back from trying to improve their office environment,1' Mr Sallabank said. 'There are all sorts of ways where employees can be successful in obtaining this but if attempts continually fall on deaf ears then voting with your feet is the best way to improve the situation as there are plenty of good employers out there.1'61.The sentence "It's a case of the grass not being any greener on the other side." in the first paragrapg means.A. It becomes more and more difficult to satisfy the workersB. The staff expect their working conditions to be improvedC. Ifs a right decision to leave one company fbr anotherD. It is as difficult to find good companies somewhere else62. Compared with the other factors, more workers surveyed feel disappointed about.A. low wages B. office environment C. working hours D. career progression 63. What can be concluded from the passage?A. Australian workers are taking the risk of losing jobsB. The companies are trying to improve the working environmentC. Some companies ignore the advice from their employeesD.

From Mr Shallabank we can learn.A. employees are encouraged to change their unwanted situationB. employees had better stayed where they areC. he is worried about the unemployment in AustraliaD. There are few good companies in Australia nowThe passage is mainly concerned with.A. the Australian workplaceB. the working environment in AustraliaC. the career competition in Australia D. the suggestions from Australian staffCIn relationships, the little things are the big things. They go a long way toward building trust and unconditional love. Perhaps nothing tests our capacity to initiate change as much as saying 'Tm sorry I embarrassed you in front of your friends. That was wrong of me.n "Sweetheart, I apologize for cutting you off. I was so rude. Please forgive me.HSometimes apologizing incredibly hard, but the effort says, nOur relationship is very important to me." And that kind of communication builds the Emotional Bank Account.Next to apologizing, one of the most important deposits a person can make is to be loyal to family members when they are not present. In other words, talk about others as if they were there. That doesn't mean you're unaware of their weaknesses. It means, rather, that you focus on the positive and that if you do talk about weaknesses, you do it in such a way that you wouldn't be ashamed to have the person overhear it.A friend had an 18-year-old son whose habits annoyed his brothers and sisters. When the boy wasn't there, the family often talked about him. At one point, this friend decided to follow the principle of being loyal to those not present. When such conversations developed, he gently interrupted and said something good that he had observed his son doing. Soon the conversation would shift to more interesting subjects.Our friend said he soon felt that the others began to connect with this principle of family loyalty. They realized that he'd also defend them if they were not present. And in some unexplainable manner perhaps because he started seeing his son differently this change improved his Emotional Bank Account.65. The passage mainly talks about.A. the effect in the family of giving expressionshow to avoid the little things turning into big thingsB. how to communicate with family membershow to improve the relationships between family members66. How many suggestions does the author make in the passage?A. TwoB. ThreeC. FourD. FiveWhen you apologize to someone, he or she.A. will test your trust and unconditional loveis sure to be embarrassedB. feels that you value the relationshipmay find it hard to accept67. The underlined word “shift“ in the fourth paragraph has the closest meaning to.A. returnB. changeC. sendD. reactWhat principle should we follow while talking about those not present?A. We should talk more about their strongpoint rather than their shortcoming.B. We shouldn't mentio n anything bad that they did.C. We should realize that they may overhear what we are talking about.D. We should express our sympathy and love to them.DA Swiss adventurer flew into the history books Friday by crossing from France to Britain on only a jet-powered wing, describing afterwards how he felt "like a bird'1 over the English Channel.Yves Rossy, 49, touched down in a field on top of the white cliffs of Dover after completing the 35-kilometre （22-mile） journey over one of the world's busiest shipping lanes. nI have proved it is possible to fly like a bir dj he said with a big grin, adding: "My aim （was） to realize the dream. You have an idea in your head, and to actually achieve it is the most satisfying thing you can do.nAsked how he felt, he joked: "It's a mixture of great pleasure and trying to stay concentrated because I was thinking, the water is pretty cold down there/With the carbon wing strapped to his back, Rossy had leapt out of a small plane at an altitude of 2,500 metres over the French coast before jetting off at speeds of more than 200 kilometres per hour. Against a backdrop of picture-perfect blue skies, he ended his adventure around ten minutes later by cutting his engines and deploying a green and blue parachute （降落伞）at an altitude of some 1,500 metres over the English coast.After landing in a ploughed field, the daredevil was visibly thrilled. nIt was great. I feel a lot more calm now than before the flight. It was perfect conditions," he said, after being surrounded by journalists who peppered him with questions.His trip was broadcast live by two light aircraft and two helicopters which flew alongside him across the channel.Although it appeared perfect, in fact Rossy did not arrive at the intended landing site apparently after he tricked his support staff.68. The passage is mainly about.A. the exp
