with its computers and cameras, your car knows how to get to your home safely.
You’re hungry, so you go to the kitchen when you get home. You asked for some food by
computer. And now it has arrived. Your kitchen has a two-way refrigerator (冰箱). It opens to the

C
Earlier, only face-to-face communication was possible, but with the development of technology,
we now have the phone, email, video calls and so on. It has become easier and much cheaper to
communicate or have a conversation. We can easily communicate with our loved ones, whether they’re
close or far away.
Face-to-face communication includes direct personal interaction (互动). Both parties can see each
other’s body language and facial expressions, and understand them easily, leading to more effective
communication. A study has shown that in our day-to-day life when we interact with someone face to
face, we have a nonverbal ( 非 言 语 的 ) communication of about 93%. In addition, face-to-face
communication is more effective in building trust and making deeper connections.
But considering the long distance (距离) and time cost, face-to-face communication may not be
the best choice. So there, telephone, email, etc. are preferred. Without telephone conversation, some
work may be difficult to get done in time. The conversation varies depending on what relationship you
have with the caller. For example, it will be informal (非正式的) if you talk to your close friends or
relatives. But if you are having a professional telephone conversation, then it will be formal. You must
have a lot of practice and confidence to interact with the caller.
Telephone conversations have no nonverbal cues ( 暗示), but they offer the convenience of
communicating from a distance and at any time. Also, as they cannot see each other, both parties can
speak without being under pressure.
So, which do you prefer?
41．According Paragraph 1, what makes communication easier and cheaper?
A．The growth of population.
B．The improvement of education.C．The development of technology.
42．What are the advantages of face-to-face communication?
① Building trust. ② Making deeper connections.
③ Interacting directly. ④ Communicating from a distance.
A．①②④ B．①②③ C．②③④
43．What does the underlined word “varies” mean in Paragraph 3?
A．变化 B．支持 C．模仿
44．What’s the best title of the text?
A．The Power of Face-to-face Communication
B．The Strength of Telephone Communication
C．Communication Choices: Face to face vs. Telephone
