四、信息归纳（共10分，每小题2分）

You speak, write a letter, make a telephone call. Your words carry a

message(信息). People communicate with words. But do you think you can communicate without words? A smile on your face shows you are happy or friendly. Tears(泪水) in your eyes tells others that you are sad. When you raise your hand in class, the teacher knows you want to say something or ask a question. You shake your head, and people know you are saying “No”. You nod(点头) and people know you are saying “Yes”. Other things can also carry messages. For example, a sign(招牌) at the bus helps you to know which bus to take. A sign on the door tells you where to go in or out. Have you ever noticed(注意) that there are a lot of signs around you and that you get messages from them all the time?

People can communicate in any other ways. An artist(艺术家) can use his drawing to tell about beautiful mountains(山), about the blue sea and many other things. Books are written to tell about all the things in the world and also about people and their ideas.

Book, TV, radio, films all help us communicate with others. They all help us to know what is going on in the world and what other people are thinking about. (根据短文内容，完成下面的句子)

31. People communicate with words because their words ______________ . 32. A smile on your face shows you are __________________. 33. You shake your head, and people know ___________________.

\United States. Other countries have the similar saying. It is true that all of us need recreation(娱乐).We can't work all the time if we are going to keep in good health and enjoy life.

Everyone has his own way of relaxing. Perhaps the most popular way is to take part in sports. There are team sports, such as baseball, basketball, and football. There are individual sports, also, such as golf and swimming. In addition, hiking, fishing, skiing, and mountain climbing have a great attraction for people who like to be outdoors.

Not everyone who enjoys sports events likes to be an onlooker(旁观者),either watching them on television, or listening to them on the radio. When there is an important baseball game or boxing match it is almost impossible to get tickets because everyone wants to attend.

Chess, card-playing, and dancing are forms(形式) of indoor recreation enjoyed by many people. It doesn't matter whether we play a fast game of ping-pong, or go walking through the woods. It is important for everyone to

relax from time to time and enjoy some forms of recreation.
