23、dvice, I cant help telling you a funny story. An old gentleman came to see the doctor. The man was very ill.

29、by the British except for the United States of America, including Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Despite its name, Boxing Day has nothing to do with competition sports. While the exact origins of the holiday are unclear, it is likely that Boxing Day began in England during the Middle Ages. Some

30、 historians say the holiday developed because servants(仆人)were asked to work in Christmas Day, but took the following day off. As servants prepared to leave to visit their families, their employers(雇主)would present them with gift boxes. Another theory is that the Alms boxes in churches were opened a

31、nd the money was given to the poor on December 26th. Still some believe, centuries ago, on the day after Christmas, members of the merchant(商人)class would give boxes containing food and fruit, clothing, and money to businessmen and servants. The gifts were an expression of thankfulness, much like to

32、day when people receive bonuses(獎金)from their employers because of a well-done job. These gifts, given in boxes, gave the holiday its name, “Boxing Day”.Traditionally, Boxing Day is a day when families get together. It is a day of watching sports games with family. In the past, hunting was one of th

33、e favorite activities on this day. People usually went hunting for wrens or foxes. Today, Boxing Day is spent with family and friends with lots of food and sharing of friendship and love. Government buildings and small businesses are closed but the malls are open. Shopping is a popular Boxing Day ac

34、tivity, and the malls are usually filled with bargains. Besides these activities, many businesses, organizations, and families try to keep the traditional spirit of Boxing Day alive by donating their time, services, and money to aid Food Banks, providing gifts for the poor, or helping an individual

38、e bought at a low price. D. Because people buy things to donate to the poor.CPerhaps the most famous theory, the study of body movement, was suggested by Professor Ray Birdwhistell. He believes that physical appearance is often culturally programmed. In other words, we learn our looks-we are not bor

39、n with them. A baby has generally informed face features（面部特征）. A baby, according to Birdwhistell, learns where to set the eyebrows by looking at those around-family and friends. This helps explain why the people of some areas of the United States look so much alike. New Englanders or Southerners ha

40、ve certain common face features that cannot be explained by genetics(遺傳學(xué)). The exact shape of the mouth is not set at birth, it is learned after. In fact, the final mouth shape is not formed until well after new teeth are set. For many, this can be well into grown-ups. A husband and wife together fo

41、r a long time often come to look alike. We learn our looks from those around us. This is perhaps why in a single country area where people smile more than those in other areas. In the United States, for example, the South is the part of the country where the people smile most frequently. In New Engl

42、and they smile less, and in the western part of New York State still less. Many southerners find cities such as New York cold and unfriendly, partly because people on Madison Avenue smile less than people on Peachtree Street in Atlanta, Georgia. People in Atlanta, Georgia. People in largely populate

43、d areas also smile and greet each other in public less than people in small towns do. 49. Ray Birdwhistell believes that physical appearance _.A. have been programmed B. has much to do with culture C. is ever changing over time D. is different from place to place 50.

46、 offshore and heads for the bathersBefore it can get close to the swimmers，the shark，for some mysterious reason，starts swimming parallel to the beachThen it turns away from shore and heads out to sea，leaving the swimmers untouched Such a scene will soon become common along shark infested（鯊魚出沒）shores

47、An electrical engineer from the University of Pretoria has developed an electrical system that repels（擊退）sharks by controlling their movementsConfused by this action，the sharks end up turning away from the beach In this unusual shark repellent method，an insulated（絕緣）cable is buried on the bottom of

48、the sea around a beach from which people swimWhen an electric current is sent though the cable，an electric field is produced in the water above the cable When the shark swims into the electric field，nerve cells just below the sharks skin detect the fieldThe electricity produces a reflex（反射）action in

51、netsHowever, when the power was turned off，89 sharks ended up in the nets Using the electric wall method instead of nets to protect bathers would avoid the needless death of many sharks，say biologistsCurrently，thousands of sharks die each year when they become trapped in protective nets that surroun
