根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
It’s natural to greet friends with a smile and a wave. 1. But what happens if your face and body send mixed messages? Would someone be more likely to believe the look on your face or the way you hold your body?
Scientists have recently tackled these questions. They found that when a person is looking at your face, she might not believe what she sees if your body language doesn’t match the feeling that your face shows.
2. Previously, they had found that the tone of a person’s voice can be more important than the words that are spoken. For example, most people tend not to believe a person who says in a flat voice, “I’m so excited.”
When it came to emotions conveyed by facial expressions and body language, most scientists suspected that the face was more important. To test if this was true, psychologists from the Netherlands and Boston showed people a number of pictures of isolated(孤立的)faces and isolated bodies (with faces blurred out(模糊的)) that showed anger or fear. 3.___
An angry face had low eyebrows and tight lips. A scared face had high eyebrow and a slightly open mouth. 4. A scared body had arms forward and shoulders square, as if ready to defend.
These results told the researchers that mixed signals can confuse people. Even when people pay attention to the face, body language subtly(微妙地) influences which emotion they read.
5. If you want to be understood, it helps to avoid sending mixed messages.
A. Studying such mixed messages is nothing new for scientists.
B. Scientists feel new to study the mixed message that confuses people.
C. So, your body language is important for telling people how you feel.
D. When you do this, your face and body work together to show your friends that you’re happy to see them.
E. An angry body had arms back and shoulders at an angle, as if ready to fight.
F. They also showed pictures in which angry or scared faces were paired with angry or scared bodies
G. Body language can sometimes be misunderstood in different culture backgrounds.

They Just Can't Help It My theory is that the female brain is mainly built for empathy — the ability to understand other people — and that the male brain is mainly built for building systems．____ For example，women are more likely to read magazines on fashion and parenting，while men will choose magazines that feature computers and sport．
You may think that these preferences are influenced by the way people are taught to behave when they are growing up．However，this is not the case．A new study carried out at Cambridge University shows that newborn girls look longer at a face，and newborn boys look longer at a mobile．1.____ It has also been observed (that girls are better at noticing signs of changes in other people's feelings．Boys，however，seem to enjoy building toy towers and playing with toys which have clear functions．2.____ People whose jobs are in the construction industries are almost male．Math and engineering，which require high levels of systems-thinking，are also male-chosen disciplines．Why do men and women have the difference? Actually women have four times as many brain neurons (神经) that connect the right and left part of their brains．Because of it，women have a better ability to multitask than men．3.____ Men tend to focus on a limited number of problems at a time．They will separate themselves from problems and view tasks as independent from one another．
Some people may worry that I am suggesting one gender (性别) is better than the other，but this is not the case．My theory says that males and females differ in the kinds of things that they find easy，but that both genders have their strengths and weaknesses．_4._ It is not true．The study simply looks at males and females as two groups，and asks what differences exist，and why they are there．
A．Generally speaking，there are clear differences．
B．Their preference for building systems may change over time．
C．You can see the same kind of pattern in the adult workplace．
D．They will consider many sources of information at the same time．
E．It is important to stress that the female brain may be built more for empathy．

Teachers and parents usually call attention to the pictures when they read storybooks to preschool child. But a new study suggests that calling attention to the words and letters on the page may lead to better readers.
The two-year study compared children who were read in this way in class with children who were not. Those whose teachers most often discussed the print showed clearly higher skills in reading, spelling and understanding. These results were found one year and even two years later.
Shayne Piasta, an assistant professor of teaching and learning at Ohio State University, was an author of the study. She says most preschool teachers would find this method manageable and would need only a small change in the way they teach. They already read story-books in class. The only difference would be increased attention to the printed text. “If you get children to pay attention to letters and words, it makes sense that they will do better at word recognition and spelling.” But she says research suggests that very few parents and teachers do this in a systematic way.
More than 300 children aged four and five were observed in classrooms. They came from poor families and were below average in their language skills. For thirty weeks, the children took part in a program called Project STAR— Sit Together and Read. The project is based in Ohio State. It tests the short-term and long-term results of reading regularly to preschool children in their classrooms.
There are different ways that adults can talk to children about print. They can point to a letter and discuss it, and even trace the shape with a finger. They can point out a word and discuss the meaning of the print or how the words tell the story. And they can talk about the organization of the print-- for instance, showing how words are written left to right in English.
1.What do we know about the ways preschool children are usually taught?
A. Preference is given to the shape of the letters and the organization of the print.
B. More attention is paid to the picture, with words and letters being ignored.
C. The focus of the teaching is on bringing them up to be good readers.
D. Equal attention is paid to the texts and the pictures.
2.Shayne Piasta suggested that preschool teachers should _______.
A. read storybooks regularly in class.
B. learn to manage their class well
C. often discuss the printed words and letters
D. search for a better method of reading
3.The children who joined in Project STAR were _________.
A. very poor in their reading
B. mostly cleverer than others
C. especially good at language skills
D. worried about reading problems
4.Which of the following is TRUE about the study on language skills of preschool children?
A. Many teachers want to change their way of teaching preschool children.
B. Attention of the pictures has made the children uninterested in reading.
C. Teachers are often prevented from taking different approaches to language teaching.
D. Project STAR aims to research into the results of reading books to preschool children in the classroom.
5.The last paragraph mainly tells us ________.
A. why we should discuss the meaning of the print
B. the shape of the letter is the focus of teaching
C. how we can teach children about print
D. English words are usually written from left to right
