BI Smile Porver

The expression on your face can actually dramatically alter your feelings and perceptions, and

it

has been proved that

(4i)

_

smiling

or frowning

can create corresponding emotional responses.
The idea was

first put

forward

by

a French physiologist, Israel Waynbaum,

in

1906' He believed that
different facial (42)

_{_affected}

the

flow

of Utood to the brain, and that this could create positive or
negative feelings.

A h"ppy

smile or irrepressible (43)

-

increased the blood

flow

and contributed to

joifuf

feelingsl

However,

sad, angry expressions decreased the

flow of

oxygen-carrying

blood,

and
created a vicious circle

ofgloom

una

a.pi.rrion

by effectively starving the brain

ofessential

fuel.

psychologist

Robei

Zajonc rediscovered this early research, and

(44)-that

the temperature
of the brain could affect the

prlduction

and synthesis of neurotransmitters - which

definitely

influence
our moods and energy levels. He argues that an impaired blood

flow

could not

(45)

deprive the

brain

of

oxygen, bu:i create

further

chemical

imbilance (46)

-

inhibiting

these

vital

hormonal
messages. Zqonc goes on

to

propose that our brains remember that

smiling is

associated

with

being
happy]and that

by

deliberately

smiling

through

your

tears you can

(47) .

your brain

to

release

uplifting

neurotransmitters-repiacing a depressed condition (48)

Explore

the Villages

around

Hartbridge

buildings and the fantastic parks. Few people go outside the

city,

and so they miss out

on

experiencing
the sceiery and the fascinating history of this beautiful area. This brochure

will

tell

you what you ean

see

if

you take a short bus ride out of the

city'

Cambenvell

The

historic village

of

Cqmberwell was once the home

of

the wealthy

Hugo

family'

They lived

in

a

;;;..i;;ri

rroul,

camberwell

court,

and owned all the land in the area. The

family

sold their house
in

the

1g40s, and

it

is now open

to

the

public. You

can spend a whole day

walking

around the house
and gardens. There

is

a

smail

exhibition

about

the

famiiy,

a children's

play

area,

a

gift

shop and a

restaurant, But the village

of

Camberwell is also worth a

visit.

two-hour river cruise - a great way to see the couniryside and learn about the local

to the pub .The Boat, which cannot be reached by road. Here, you can hire small boats and explore the

river

at.your leisure. To get to Hidcot, take Bus

ia

to Reeford. Hidcot is half way between Hartbridge

Read the

following

passage

and

choose the

correct

answers

A,

B,

C

or

D.

The planet Earth

is

4,600

million

years

old.

It

is difficult for

us

to

think

abou!

such an

enormous length

of

time

because

it

has

little

meaning

for

us.

we

can, however,

simplify

the idea to
make

it

more understandable. We can compare the planet Earth

to

a person

of forty-

six

years

of

age.
Nothing is known about the

first

seven years

of

this person's

life.

Very

little

information exists about
the

mijdle

period either.

It

was only at the age of forty- two that the Earth began to flower.

Dinosaurs and great reptiles

did

notlppear

until

one year ago, when-the planet

of

forty- five'

Mammals

only

arrivea-eight months ago.

In

tlhe middle

of

last week, man-

like

apes became ape- like
men and began to communicate

with

each other. Last weekend, the Ice Age covered the Earth.

Modern man has

only

been around

for

four

hours.

During the last hour

man

discovered

agriculture. The industrial Revolution and the rise

of

large cities began

just

sixty seconds ago.

During that short time, modern man has made a rubbish

tip

of

the Earth' In one minute, he has
increased

his

numbers

to terrible

proportions, and has caused

the

death

of

hundreds

of

species

of

animals. He has robbed and destroyed the planet

in

his search

of

fuels.

Now

he stands,

like

a violent,
spoilt child, delighted at the speed

of

nir

rise to power, on the edge of the

final

mass destruction and

of

killing

all the

life

which exists in the solar system'
71. The passage tells us that



---.--A.

a gieat deal is known about how the Earth was created'

B. life

on Earth began relatively recently.

C. more is known about the

first

part of the Earth's

life'

D. scientists are

well-

informed about the middle part of the Earth's life.

72.We

are informed by the author that

.-=--A.

the dinosaurs appeared during the middle period'

B. mammals and great reptiles both appeared at the same time.
C. there

*... ,oi"

than

forty- five

kinds of great reptiles.
D. ape- like men appeared before the last lce Age'

73. The author is mainly interested

in-..-A.

the time when man

first

evolved from apes'

B. what has happened since the Industrial Revolution'
C. the effects of farming.

D. the period before the last Ice'Age'
