Verbal（口头的）language is only one part of the communication—body language is another. If you once wanted to know how to tell if someone is lying，body language is the answer. Your body language tells other people what you aren’t verbally saying，such as if you are anxious，confident，confused，angry or in any other type of emotion or state of mind. If you become great at reading body language，it will help you become a better communicator.
Listen to others
Before you begin to speak，take a minute to see if anyone else has something to say.3. .Listening to others has many benefits，such as allowing you to learn new things or get the information that you may later need.
Think before you speak

Superheroes first caught our attention in the 1930s when Superman and Batman appeared in American comic books, and we’ve been crazy about them ever since. But have you ever stopped to think whether the superman really exists(存在)?
Wim discovered his super power one day after saving a man from a frozen lake. Since then, he’s puzzled scientists with his super ability to bear the freezing temperature. Using breathing skills and a strong mental focus, he’s learned to control his body temperature. For his 2011 Guinness World Record he stayed in ice for nearly two hours. He’s also climbed to Mount Everest in just his shorts and run a desert marathon(马拉松赛跑)without a drop of water.
In the real world, there’re some blind people who can use echo-location skills to see the world around them, just like bats. By making noises with their mouths or by snapping their fingers, they can interpret(领会)the sound waves made back by nearby objects. Daniel, who lost his sight because of cancer as a baby, has taught himself the skills and shared his knowledge with hundreds of blind people worldwide. This has enabled them to run, hike, play football and go skateboarding, etc.
Dean can run forever. He regularly pushes his mind and body to the limits-running non-stop without sleep for 350 miles or completing 50 marathons in 50 days. He’s also run 135 miles non-stop across Death Valley around 49℃ and to the South Pole, where temperatures fell to -40℃.
Alain is one of the best rock climbers worldwide. Some of his tallest climbs include the Sydney Tower and the Eiffel Tower. Unbelievably strong both mentally and physically, Alain is famous for his free solo climbing, climbing tall buildings without ropes—just with his arms, legs and a bag of chalks.
Some of the above people are self-taught and have gained their skills with years of training. Others are born with unusual physical characters, leaving scientists confused. One thing is for sure—the superman certainly exists.

In America, experts find that campus jobs can help students not only in their studies，but also in their lives after school. That is why more and more universities are providing work experience for students.
In 2011, Clemson University, a public university in South Carolina, asked Neil Burton, head of the Career Center, to develop a program that was not only a way of creating more jobs，but also a way to provide special positions that would teach students valuable skills related to their interests or fields of study. It also wanted the students to work in professional (专业的) environments that would provide useful experience in their job searches after college.
The program works like this: any professor or student in Clemson University in need of professional help can come up with a plan. This could be a biology professor looking for a research assistant, or an administrator who needs help raising donations (捐赠物) for the school. It can also be any outside organization that works with Clemson University, such as a company that is designing new building for the campus.
If the position meets the conditions of the program，it will be listed on Clemson University’s website. Students ask to be thought for the job and go through an interview(面试). If accepted, students are allowed to work for one term. Before they start, they are also required to take a class that tells them what to expect in the position. Finally, at the end of the term, students are tested on what they have learned from the experience.
The program has been a success from the very start. By 2014, Clemson University had 626 students working through the program. And Burton believes the program will have helped over 1，000 students by 2019.
“This is not just a success for the school. Students who take part in the program are 20% more likely to have a full-time job offer once they finish their studies. After all, every day spent in college should help prepare students for what comes after, not just classwork,” says Burton.
1.Why did Clemson University ask Burton to develop the program?
A. To help poor students find jobs.
B. To research the relationship between studies and jobs.
C. To prepare students for the future after graduation.
D. To prepare some professional suggestions for Clemson University.
2.Which is the right order of the things a student should do to work through the program?
a. Ask for a position.
b. Take a class.
c. Be tested.
d. Work for one term.
e. Have an interview.
A. a, b, c, e, d. B. b, c, a, d, e.
C. a, e, b, c, d. D. a, e, b, d, c.
3.What can we know from Burton’s words in the last paragraph?
A. Campus jobs only help students in their studies.
B. Colleges can provide students with full-time jobs.
C. The program benefits students greatly.
D. Students working through the program are sure to find good jobs.
4.In which part of a website can we read the passage?
A. Technology. B. Education.
C. Travel. D. Society.
