knew it was possible to get others to do what I wanted if I read their real feelings and responded (回应)
suitably to their needs. At the age of eleven, I sold sponge rubber(泡沫橡胶) door-to-door after school
and quickly worked out how to tell if someone was likely to buy from me. When I knocked on a door, if
someone told me to go away but their hands were open and they showed their palms (the inside surfaces
of their hands) , I knew it was safe to continue with my presentation (展示) because they weren't angry or
threatening although they may have a
dismissive(
不屑的) attitude. If someone told me to go away in a
soft voice but used a pointed finger or closed hand, I knew it was time to leave.
As a teenager, I became a pots and pans
(
炊具) salesperson, and my ability to read
people earned me enough money to buy my first house. Selling gave me the chance to meet people and
study them close and to know whether they would buy or not, simply by watching their body language.
I joined the life insurance business at the age of twenty. And I went on to break several sales records
for my company, becoming the youngest person to sell over a million dollars' worth of business in my first
year. This achievement allowed me to become a member of the well-known Million Dollar Round
Table ( MDRT, which recognizes the world's top achievers in life insurance) . I was lucky that the
skills I'd learned as a boy in watching body language while selling pots and pans could be used in this ne
w
a
r ea
, and were directly related to the success I could have in any business closely connected with people.

A. A customer's soft voice. B. A customer's pointed finger.
C. A customer's open palms. D . A customer's dismissive expression .

A. The study of selling products. B. The life insurance business.
C. The pots and pans industry. D. The work for the MDRT.

A while back I caught a news report on something called "couch surfing" and the network of trusting
souls who make this phenomenon possible. They offer to put up travelers free of charge and help them on
their ways.
At first, it sounded unbelievable. I mean , inviting strangers into one 's home for one or two
nights? Give me a break.
However, I was intrigued. I decided to investigate. The only way to truly learn about this
phenomenon was to dive in . So I planned a trip to Finland, a country I've always wanted to explore. I
would couch surf at every stop there. If ever any anxiety existed when stepping into the unknown , it
disappeared when my first host met me at the train station. Ari looked like my idea of a typical Finn: tall
and blue-eyed. Finns were also supposed to be famously reserved (寡言少语的 ) . Ari was anything but.
He was a live wire, giving me an enthusiastic welcome and hiking with me to his apartment, where he
showed me the sleeper sofa, served me tea, and engaged me in warm conversations. He also handed me a
key to come and go as I pleased.
If this was what couch surfing was all about trust and friendship, then I had gotten off to a good start.
As I boarded my next train to continue my journey, I began to think about this couch-surfing idea. What
urged these people to open their homes to strangers? I concluded that there was a desire to lend a hand to
like-minded folks who might enrich their own lives.
Seven cities in 14 days. Seven hosts. Seven new friends. If couch surfing taught me anything, it's this :
Most people are good and generous.
Where will couch surfing take me next? Who knows? But I can't wait to find
out.
8. Which of the following best explains the underlined word “intrigued ” in the second paragraph?
A. Relaxed. B. Disgusted.
C. Interested. D. Embarrassed.
9. What can we know about Ari?
A. He was reserved like most Finns. B. He talked less but he was friendly.
C. He treated the author as a friend. D. He saw off the author at the train station.
10. Why did people offer couch surfing to strangers?
A. To take an adventure with strangers. B. To exchange houses for a short time.
C. To learn more about others' family lives. D. To enrich their own lives by helping others.
11. What can be the suitable title for the text?
A. Travel on Trust and Couches B. A Free Travel in Finland
C. Experiences in Strangers' Houses D. A Plan for Couch Surfing
D
Dogs have complex emotions such as jealousy
(
嫉妒) and pride, according to a scientific research
that throws new light on their relations with humans.
Animal psychologists previously believed most animals lacked the "sense of self" , which is needed
to experience secondary emotions such as jealousy, embarrassment or guilt. These emotions are more
co
m p
l e
x than instant reactions such as anger or joy.
Professor Friederike Range, from the University of Vienna, has shown that dogs are jealous when
they feel unfairly treated compared with other dogs. "Dogs show a strong reaction to inequity (不公平) ,
" she said. "If one dog gets something, you'd better believe another will demand something as well."
But, her study points out that it doesn't matter if one gets a better treat and only that the distribution is
fair.
The dog study is the latest into several species, including cows , horses , cats and sheep , which
have shown that animals are far more self-aware than they were thought. Paul Morris, a psychologist at
the University of Portsmouth who studies animal emotions, told The Sunday Times, "We are learning that
dogs and horses are far more emotionally complex than we ever realized. They can suffer simple forms of
many feelings we once thought only primates (灵长类) could experience.'
In research among dog owners, Morris found almost all of them reported jealous behavior by their
pets. The dog often tried to get their owner away from a new lover in the early days of a relationship.
Behavior experts suggest owners keep their dogs away as much as possible from a new partner or
child. This helps to prevent jealous activity of the dog such as interruptions with barking or whining
(
哀
号) .
12. What's the best title for this passage?
A. Animals Have Complex Feelings
B. A New Research
C. How to Prevent Jealous Activity from a Dog
D. Dogs Can Be Jealous
13. What can we learn from the second paragraph?
A. Only advanced animals have complex feelings.
B. Most animals lack the sense of self.
C. Experts used to believe that most animals lack complex emotions.
D. The best way to prevent jealousy is to treat all the animals fairly.
