• 2．Being a young boy，I began to learn what people said was not always what they really meant or felt.And I knew it was possible to get others to do what I wanted if I read their real feelings and responded suitably to their needs.At the age of eleven，I sold rubber 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 because they weren't angry 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 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.
     I joined the life insurance（保险）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 could be used in this new area，and were directly related to the success I could have in any business closely connected with people.
  
  （1）What is the author's main purpose of mentioning the success in life insurance？

  
  A．To attract more people to buy his life insurance.
  B．To simply let readers know about his good luck.

  A． ①④③②
  B． ④①③②
  C． ④②①③
  D． ①③②④
  （3）What does the underlined words "new area" in the last paragraph refer to？

  
  A．The study of selling products.
  B．The work for the MDRT.

• 3．Experts believe that the best time to teach kids language skills is when they are babies.Most times the task is easily accomplished with parents reading or talking to their babies.However，in some cases that is not possible due to parents' busy work schedules or when kids are born deaf.Now，a blue-eyed robot，a human image，and some high-tech neuroscience may be able to assist parents with this important developmental task.
     The Robot AVatar thermal-Enhanced system，or RAVE，is the brainchild of a team of researchers led by Laura-Ann Petitto，an educational neuroscientist.The learning process begins when the robot's camera，which is focused on the baby's face，notices tiny changes in his/her body temperature.This，combined with the baby's facial expression，causes the robot to turn its head and guide the baby's attention to a computer screen，on which a human image starts to communicate with the baby.For example，if the baby points towards the screen，the image might respond，"Are you pointing to me？" and follow that up with a nursery rhyme or fairy tale，all in American Sign Language（ASL）.The "conversation" continues until the kid loses interest.
     The researchers found that babies as young as 6 to 8 months old began to move their hands in a rhythm similar to ASL after communicating with RAVE for just a few minutes.Petitto says natural language，whether communicated through speech or sign，activates（激活）the same parts of the brain and believes the rhythmic motion proves the babies are learning the essential elements of communication.
     What sets this technique apart from other methods，such as showing educational videos or television shows，is its interactive（互动的）nature and real-time response to the baby's actions.The researchers say that while it is too early to determine the system's long-term influence on baby communication，the initial response has been very encouraging.Next，they plan to introduce a robot that can both sign and speak to babies.
  
  （1）What can the RAVE system help parents do？

  
  A．Improve babies' health condition.
  B．Take good care of babies.
  C．Develop babies' language skills.
  D．Keep company with babies.
  （2）What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about？

  
  A．How babies learn ASL effectively.
  B．How parents educate their babies.
  C．How robots talk and read to babies.
  D．How the RAVE system works.
  （3）What indicates babies are learning with the help of the RAVE system？

  
  A．Interest in videos and TV shows.
  B．Changes in their body temperature.
  C．Improvement in their natural language.
  D．Hand movements in a rhythm like ASL.
  （4）What do the researchers think of the RAVE system？

  
  A．Promising.
  B．Impractical.
  C．Satisfactory.
  D．Disappointing.
