Frustrated by an increase in wild boar(野猪) attacks, officials in Hong Kong used bread to attract and trap some of the animals in a district close to the city Press reported. Wild boars can be seen frequently along Hong Kong fuse to obey orders from authorities to stop feeding them because they can gather in large groups and pass along diseases. Attacks by wild boars have also become an increasingly common issue. In an attack last week, a wild boar knocked down a police officer and bit his leg last week before the animal fell from a residential car park and died.

Government data indicates that there are roughly 3,000 wild boars in Hong Kong. They are not a protected species. Though Hong Kong authorities have attempted to naturally cut down the boar population, the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department said it " could not effectively control the wild pig disturbance." "A large group of wild pigs continued to wander and gather at the site, posing threats to members of the public and road users," a statement from the department read.

Since the attack on the police officer, Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam has cautioned that the city could impose more severe punishment against people who continue to feed the boars. "I understand that a lot of Hong Kong people love the wetlands and nature. However, we also need to protect public safety.We can't simply sit on our hands while things worsen," she added.

Philanthropic group ADM Capital Foundation, the Hong Kong Veterinary Association and other animal rights organizations have since sent an open letter to the government criticizing its shift in policy to kill the boars. A request by groups including Hong Kong Animal Post and Hong Kong Wild Boar Concern Group said that the measures announced by the agriculture department to regularly capture and put down wild boars "ignore their right to live. This approach is extremely unreasonable and contradicts previous animal management policy principles."

Hong Kong needs legislative reform to deal with the current gaps in existing laws, so that wildlife feeding is an illegal activity, punishment is severe and can be enforced effectively.

(1) What do you know about the wild boars in Hong Kong? A. They do not hurt human beings unless they are attacked. B. They are endangered species with a very small population. C. If gathering in groups it is easy for them to spread diseases. D. They are seen frequently close to the city's financial center.

(2) What does the underlined phrase "sit on our hands" mean in paragraph 3? A. Keep cautious. B. See before acting. C. Take immediate actions. D. Look on indifferently.

(3) What is the attitude of some animal rights organizations towards killing the boars? A. Neutral. B. Worried C. Favorable. D. Disapproval.

(4) What may be the most reasonable measure to take based on the whole text? A. Making severe laws to ban wildlife feeding. B. Naturally cutting down the boar population. C. Regularly capturing and putting down wild boars. D. Calling on citizens to keep distance from wild boars.

We use both words and body language to express our thoughts and opinions in our interactions with other people. We can learn a lot about what people are thinking by watching their body language. Words are important, but the way people stand, hold their arms, and move their hands can also give us information about their feelings.

Just like spoken language, body language varies from culture to culture. The crucial thing is using body language in a way that is appropriate to the culture you are in. For example, making eye contact—looking into someone's eyes—in some countries is a way to display interest. In other countries, by contrast, eye contact is not always approved of. For example, in many Middle Eastern countries, men and women are not socially permitted to make eye contact. In Japan, it may demonstrate respect to look down when talking to an older person.

The gesture for "OK" has different meanings in different cultures. In Japan, someone who witnesses another person employing the gesture might think it means money. In France, a person encountering an identical gesture may interpret it as meaning zero. However, you should avoid making this gesture in Brazil and Germany, as it is not considered polite.

Even the gestures we use for "yes" and "no" differ around the world. In many countries, shaking one's head means "no", and nodding means "yes". By comparison, in Bulgaria and southern Albania, the gestures have the opposite meaning. There are also differences in how we touch each other, how close we stand to someone we are talking to, and how we act when we meet or part. In countries like France and Russia, people may kiss their friends on the cheek when they meet. Elsewhere, people favour shaking hands, bowing from the waist, or nodding the head when they meet someone else.

Some gestures seem to have the same meaning everywhere. Placing your hands together and resting them on the side of your head while closing your eyes means "sleep". A good way of saying "I am full" is moving your hand in circles over your stomach after a meal.

Some body language has many different uses. Perhaps the best example is smiling. A smile can help us get through difficult situations and find friends in a world of strangers. A smile can break down barriers. We can use a smile to apologise, to greet someone, to ask for help, or to start a conversation. Experts suggest smiling at yourself in the mirror to make yourself feel happier and stronger. And if we are feeling down or lonely, there is nothing better than seeing the smiling face of a good friend.

(1) What could be inferred from Paragraph 1? A. Body language is as important as spoken language. B. Body language alone cannot express what we are thinking C. Body language is not more important than spoken language D. We can't communicate with others without spoken language.

(2) The most important thing about using body language is that ____. A. you needn't use it everywhere B. you ought to make eye contact C. you should respect the local culture D. it should be consistent with your own culture

(3) With the example "OK" in Paragraph 3, the author intends to show that ____. A. the Japanese value money more B. people from different countries can't communicate C. in Brazil and Germany, people never use the gesture "OK" D. the same gesture may mean different things in different places

(4) What could be inferred from Paragraph 4about the gesture "yes" and "no"? A. In Bulgaria, nodding means "yes". B. In southern Albania, shaking your head means "yes". C. The "yes" and "no" gestures seem to have the same meaning everywhere D. The "yes" and "no" gestures in Bulgaria and southern Albania are completely opposite.

(5) The underlined part "A smile can break down barriers." in the last paragraph probably means ____. A. a smile is the key to success B. smiling can make you feel happier and stronger C. smiling can help you break down the barriers in your way D. a smile is a powerful tool for building and strengthening social connections
