单选题There are hundreds of TV channels (频道) in the United States. Americans get a lot of entertainment (娱乐) and information from TV. Most people probably watch it for entertainment only. For some people, however, TV is where they get the news of the day. But some new TV programs or shows put entertainment and news together. This new kind of program in the United States is called "infotainment", which means information (info-) and entertainment (taitmaent). These kinds of programs use actors to act out news stories, making the news of the day more interesting and exciting to people. The shows also use special effects. An example of infotainment is the show "America' s Most Wanted". The producers of this program get stories from real cases that the police have dealt with. In most of these cases, the police never found the person who committed the crime (犯罪). Sometimes they caught the criminal, but he or she ran away again. The people who make "America' s Most Wanted" film it in the city where the crime happened. They use actors to play the parts of all the people in the case. At the end of the story, however, they always show "mug shots", or police photographs, of the real criminals.

单选题People often show their feelings by the body positions they adopt. These can contradict (同…矛盾) what you are saying, especially when you are trying to disguise the way you feel. For example, a very common defensive position, assumed when people feel threatened in some way, is to put your arm or arms across your body. This is a way of shielding yourself from a threatening situation. This shielding action can be disguised as adjusting one"s coif (束发帽) or watch strap. Leaning back in your chair especially with your arms folded is not only defensive, it"s also a way of showing your disapproval, of a need to distance yourself from the rest of the company. A position which betrays (显示) an aggressive attitude is to avoid looking directly at the person you are speaking to. On the other hand, approval and desire to cooperate are shown by copying the position of the person you are speaking to. This shows that you agree or are willing to agree with someone. The position of one"s feet also often shows the direction of people"s thoughts. For example, feet or a foot pointing towards the door can indicate that a person wishes to leave the room. The direction in which your foot points can also show which of the people in the room you feel most sympathetic towards, even when you are not speaking directly to that person.

单选题Slang(俚语) is one of those things that everybody can recognize and nobody can define (下定 义). Not only is it hard to wrap slang in a definition, it is also hard to distinguish (区别)it from such similar things as colloquialism (口语), provincialism (方言), jargon (行话) or trade talk (行业话). Usually, slang tends to be transient(短暂的). Thus their children often laugh at parents when this older generation uses slang which was considered to be the height of fashion in their own youth. Of course, the slang teenage children use today is very different from that of their parents. Indeed it might ever be some obscure (晦涩的) foreign language as far as the older generation is concerned for it is totally beyond their understanding. It is often said that a slang term stops to be slang when it is "accepted by the dictionary". This is not really the case. You will find many slang terms listed in dictionaries are still slang terms. The term stops to be slang when it drives(派生) its respectable synonym(同义词) out of use, or when it gets a meaning that cannot be expressed otherwise. Such things have happened. The term "hot dog" was once a slang term, but it couldn"t be considered so now. No one in America would go up to a counter and order "a sausage sandwich". Similarly "varsity", originally a slang contraction (缩写) of university, has acquired a special meaning which only it expresses and is no longer slang. Jazz, when it means a particular kind of music, is scarcely a slang form, since there is no more respectable word meaning that kind of music.

单选题 Today anyone will accept money in exchange for goods and services. People use money to buy food, furniture, books, bicycles and hundreds of other things they need or want. When they work, they usually get paid in money. Most of the money today is made of metal or paper. But people used to use all kinds of things as money. One of the first kinds of money was shells. Shells were not the only things used as money. In Chinese history, cloth and knives were used. In the Philippine Islands, rice was used as money for a long tie. Elephant tusks, monkey tails, and salt were used as money in parts of Africa. Cattle were one of the earliest kinds of money. Other animals were used as money, too. The first metal coins were made in China. They were round and had a square hole in the center. People strung them together and carried them from place to place. Different countries have used different metals and designs for their money. The first coins in England were made of tin. Sweden and Russia used copper to make their money, Later, countries began to make coins of gold and silver. But even gold and silver were inconvenient if you had to buy something expensive. Again the Chinese thought of a way to improve money. They began to use paper money. The first paper money looked more like a note from one person to another than the paper money used today. Money has had an interesting history from the days of shell money until today.
