Without the nose, We could not breathe or smell. It is the part of the face that

20、gives a person special character. Cyrano de Bergerac said that a large nose showed a great man-courageous, manly, and wise.A famous woman poet wished that she had two noses to smell a rose! Blaise Pascal made an interesting remark about Cleopatra t s nose. If it had been shorter, he said, it would h

21、ave changed the whole face of the world!Man' s nose has had an important role in his imagination. Man has referred to the nose in many ways to express his emotions. Expressions dealing with the nose refer to human * s weakness, anger, pride, jealousy and revenge （报复）.In English there are a numbe

22、r of phrases about the nose. For example, to hold up one* s nose expresses a basic human feeling一 pride. People can hold up their noses at people, things, and places.The phrase, to be led around by the nose, shows man' s weakness. A person who is led around by the nose lets other people control

23、him. On the other hand, a person who follows his nose lets his instinct （本能）guide him.There are a number of others. However, it should be as plain as the nose on your face that the nose is more than an organ for breathing and smelling.46、The passage is about .A、 an organ, with which people can breat

24、he and smellB> the nose, which gives different and useful expressionsC、 the nose giving a person special characterDa the interesting remarks about the nose made by some people 47、From the passage we know .A、 uCleopatra* s nose” changed the whole face of the world indeedB、 Cleopatra had a strong w

27、 theory, the study of body movement. He believes that physical appearance is often culturally programmed. In other words, we learn our looks we are not born with them. A baby has generallyinformed face features. A baby according to Birdwhistell, learns where to set the eyebrows by looking at those a

28、round family andfriends. This helps explain why people of some areas of the United States look so much alike. New Englanders or Southerners have certain common face features that cannot be explained by genetics （遗传学）. The exact shape of the mouth is not set at birth, it is learned after. In fact, th

29、e 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 for a long time often come to look somewhat alike. We learn our looks from those around us. This is perhaps why in a single country there are areas where peopl

30、e 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 England they smile less, and in the western part of New York States still less. Many Southerners find cities such as New York cold and unfrie

31、ndly, partly because people on Madison Avenue smile less than people on Peachtree Street in Atlanta, Georgia. People in largely populated areas also smile and greet each other in public less than people in small towns do.Birdwhistell believes that physical appearance .A has little to do with culture

35、red man”. Sometimes extra labourers （劳工）were needed in busy seasons. Horses provided 79 percent of the power used, human labour 15 percent, and machines only 6 percent.Today all that has changed.
