22、短文匹配 阅读下面短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。每个选项仅使用一次。

What is a smile? Some people think it is the expression of the heart. I think it is a kind of language. It shows kindness and friendliness. It also shows that a person is happy. For example, a student may smile when he or she makes great progress in studies. Or a person may smile if a friend tells a funny joke. 【1】.

First, smiles are nice. People always try to look nice by exercising or wearing nice clothes. 【2】. That is because it is easy to be around someone who is smiling and happy. Almost no one wants to stay with someone who is always unhappy.

【3】. Both smiling and laughing can easily and quickly spread from one person to another. If one person smiles, people around him or her want to smile, too. Similarly, when a person laughs, others will laugh with him or her. If a person is sad, the best thing to do is to share a smile or a laugh. It is the easiest way to cheer someone up.

Finally, it is easier to smile than to show unhappiness. In fact, when you smile, it only takes 17 muscles(肌肉). But when you are sad, it takes 43 muscles to show unhappiness. Also, smiling is very good for the body. 【4】. You’ll find that it will be difficult to stay sad for very long!

A．However, people often say a smile is the best thing a person can wear

B．Second, smiles have power

C．Of course, there are some other good reasons to smile

D．Even though you are sad, try smiling

27、There’s one language that is used in every country in the world. It’s everyone’s second language. It’s easy to be understood, although you can’t hear it. It’s sign language.

When you wave to a friend who is crossing the street, you’re using sign language. When you raise your hand in class, you’re saying, “I think I know the correct answer.”

Babies can point at things. They’re using sign language. A policeman who wants to stop the traffic holds up his hand. He’s using sign language, too.

Sign language is a bridge between the deaf and non-disabled people. They use the movement of the hand, arms or body to express a speaker’s thoughts.

Today, in many countries, there are special TV news programs for deaf people. The news reporter tells the news in sign language. At the same time, the words appear on the TV screen. The actors in the theater for the deaf often use their hands to show what they want to say. They can make a roof with their hands over their heads when they want to show “house”. One finger over a person’s mouth can mean “quiet”. You can talk to people behind closed windows. And when you go swimming with your friends, you can have a talk under water with sign language.
