24、   There are a lot of different people in the world, but we all want to get along with others. Humans are social beings, and we enjoy being treated nicely. Getting along with someone isn't about being his or her best friend or sharing all his or her hobbies It is about treating people with respect and care.

To start a conversation, it is important to listen first, especially when you are in a group. Don't indulge(放纵）yourself in instant chat when you have just arrived.First,examine the situation and the conversation, then say whatever you think fit. So it is better to listen to what the conversation is about before speaking.

A little laughter goes a long way, while a frown can create tension. If someone teases you, try to laugh it off. If someone is frowning, smile at him or her. Be mindful of your facial expression. If you are cheerful and optimistic, people will cheer up when they see you coming.

Some people do not take hints(暗示). Some people do not read body language.For these people, it really works to just speak with a cheerful face and voice, and state outright that you want to get along with him or her.

Being kind is its own reward. It could be as simple as bringing in doughnuts( 炸 面 圈） for people or offering to help who is struggling to carry something.

This will show you care about other people and this will make people want to be around you.

25、Bamboo is nature’s most amazing plants. Many people call this plant a tree, but it is a kind of grass.

Like other kinds of grass, a bamboo plant may be cut very low to the ground, but it will grow back very quickly. A Japanese scientist reported one bamboo plant which grew 1.5 meters in 24 hours! Bamboo grows almost everywhere in the world except Europe. There are more than 1, 000 kinds of bamboo.

Bamboo has been used to make many things such as hats and kitchen tools. Because it is strong, bamboo is also used to build buildings.

Many Asian countries have used bamboo for hundreds of years. They often use bamboo for buildings and supporting new buildings and bridges while they are being built.

In Africa, poor farmers are taught how to find water using bamboo. These African countries need cheap way to find water because they have no money, and their fields often die from no rain and no water. Bamboo pipes (管子) help poor farmers get water to their thirsty fields without spending a lot of money.

26、Traveling makes us feel sick because modern transport tricks the brain into thinking we have been poisoned, a scientist has said.

Being in a car, train, boat or plane makes conflicting  signals in the brain which causes an action similar to something that happens when someone is poisoned. Dr Dean Burnett, from Cardiff University, said the feeling of sickness is caused because the brain thinks the body needs to remove a toxin  through vomiting  . But in fact, the “poisoning”effect is caused by the mixed messages-- for the muscles  , they tell the brain the body is motionless, but for the ears, they got the feeling that the body has some movement.

Dr Dean Burnett explained that reading in a car made the feeling of travel sickness worse, because the eyes were focused on a small, motionless space and gave the brain no information to explain that the body was moving.

The feeling of sickness could be weakened by looking out of a car window because this showed the brain that movement was taking place. “You can see the passage and movement itself, and that balances the system,” he said. “The brain’s going: ‘Oh, look, things are moving--I must be moving’--and then it calms down the sickness.”

Dr Burnett said there was no clear reason why some people suffered from car sickness more than others. But he said there were several other aspects of modern life with which the brain had not yet recognized or understood.

A. buses make his brain into thinking he has been poisoned

B. Looking at the passage of the bus.

C. Looking at the movement itself.

D. Looking at something quiet.

【4】What’s the best title of the passage?

A. What a Terrible Travel!   B. Why Do We Get Car Sick?

C. The Danger of Modern Transport   D. How to Keep Balance.
