26、. He looks very funny. D. He is a fearless fighter.CAt your next meeting, wait for a pause in conversation and try to measure how long it lasts.Among English speakers, chances are that it will be a second or two at most. But while thispattern may be universal, our awareness of silence differs dramat
27、ically across cultures.What one culture considers a confusing or awkward pause may be seen by others as a valuablemoment of reflection and sign of respect for what the last speaker has said.

29、ure to understand each other by speaking because you re repairing that failureby using words.In the US, it may originate from the history of colonial(殖 民 地 的 )America as a crossroadsof many different races.

34、er” from Aesop s Fables, a thirsty crow (乌 鸦 )dropsstones into a narrow jar to raise the low level of water inside so he can take a drink.Now scientists have evidence to back up that story. Crows actually do understand how to makewater displacement (移 位 ) work to their advantage, experiments show. T
35、he results suggest thatthe birds are, at least in some aspects, as smart as first-graders.Researchers, led by Sarah Delbert at the University of Auckland in New Zealand, presentedsix crows with tubes filled with water. Inside the tubes, a worm or piece of meat on a piece ofwood was floating, just ou
36、t of reach of the crow. In front of the tubes, the researchers arrangedseveral rubber erasers that would sink, and some plastic objects that would float. The crows foundout that they could drop the erasers into the tubes in order to raise the water level and gettheir snack.However, the birds handled
37、 awkwardly in experiments in which they could choose to drop objectsin either a wide tube or a narrow one to get a snack, the researchers said. Dropping objects intonarrow tube would lift the water level by a greater amount and put the treat within reach afterjust two drops; while it took around sev
38、en drops to raise the snack to the same level in the widetube. The crows obviously didn t realize this, and most of them went for the wide tube first.Previous studies showed that chimpanzees and human children can solve similar tasks. In a2011 study, chimpanzees and kids found out that they could pu

Hereare some of the common fallacie
43、s(谬 论 ) about losing weight.Myth1. _36_: We are all brainwashed into thinking that losing weight or dieting meanseating tiny portions. But it s not true., because some foods contain a lot more calories thanothers. For example, one small cake can be higher in calories than a whole plateful of chicken
44、,potatoes and vegetables. _37_. However, by choosing foods which are low in calories (andtaking regular exercise) we can often lose weight WITHOUT eating less.

Late Night Eating Leads to Weight Gain: Our body metabolizes (代 谢 ) food in the sameway, _39_. It s not WHEN you eat th
