四、阅读理解
My curiosity about body language started with a particular professor from my university. On a brisk morning, as he playfully pointed out my tendency to rub my nose whenever I wove excuses for being late to his lectures, he fascinated me with the gripping notion of “Pinocchio”. Actually, when someone tells a lie, the person’s blood rushes to the nose and the extra blood makes it itchy(发痒的). This little example of non-verbal communication inspired me to become a body language expert. Now, I earn my living by training people in non-verbal communication. Knowing when someone is lying and knowing how to persuade people you’re telling the truth are two of the most important skills you’ll ever learn.
I have spent a lot of time studying the ways the human body gives more reliable information than the words we speak. The words say one thing but the body may say something completely different. We know that crossed arms can be seen as either defensive or aggressive, but what about facial expressions, postures and gestures? All of these say a lot and can only be understood if you know how to make sense of the signs.
Business clients are always in need of my services and I try to improve their confidence by teaching them about body language. I give advice about handshakes, which should always be firm and steady, and I teach the importance of personal space. They may seem like minor matters, but these codes of behaviour can be the key to making or breaking a business deal.
My working life gives me a great deal of satisfaction. I feel that I’m providing a public service, but it is a service that has had its downside. Whenever I meet someone new and I tell them what I do for a living, they immediately put their guard up and they’re no longer relaxed. They quite literally freeze in the attempt to hide all the signals that they think I’m reading. It makes life difficult at times, but I consider it a small price to pay for a job I enjoy so much.

【语篇解读】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作为研究肢体语言的专家，作者论述了肢体语言的重要性，并提到这份特别的工作对自己的影响。
1. D 解析:推理判断题。根据第一段中的“My curiosity about body language started with ... by training people in non-verbal communication.(我对肢体语言的好奇始于我大学里的一位教授。在一个清新的早晨，他开玩笑地指出，每当我为上他课迟到编借口时，我就会蹭鼻子。他用‘匹诺曹’这个扣人心弦的概念吸引了我。事实上，当一个人说谎时，血液会涌到鼻子上，多余的血液会让鼻子发痒。这个非语言交流的小例子激励我成了一名肢体语言专家。现在，我通过培训人们的非语言沟通来谋生。)”可知，作者大学时的一位教授从作者的肢体语言中发现了他在撒谎，这激起了作者研究肢体语言的兴趣。由此推知，作者提到教授是为了解释是什么鼓励他选择了自己的职业。故选D。
2. B 解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中的“All of these say a lot and can only be understood if you know how to make sense of the signs.(所有这些都说明了很多，只有你知道如何理解这些符号，你才能理解它们。)”及本段介绍了一些体态表示的内容可知，理解肢体语言需要特定的技能。故选B。
3. A 解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Whenever I meet someone new ... they think I'm reading.(每当我遇到一个新朋友，我告诉他们我是做什么的，他们就会立刻提高警惕，不再放松。他们真的会愣住，试图隐藏他们认为我在读的所有信号。)”可知，接触作者的人听说他的职业后会表现得不自然，是因为他们觉得作者会研究他们。故选A。
4. C 解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“My working life gives me a great deal of satisfaction.”及“It makes life difficult at times, but I consider it a small price to pay for a job I enjoy so much.”可知，作者的工作让作者很有满足感，但有时候它也会很具挑战性。故选C。
