W:And how long does the train take?

W:Where do I catch the train?

M:The trains for Cambridge leave from King’s Cross Station.They run approximately every half-hour.Most trains to Cambridge go from Platform 9.

W:How do I get to King’s Cross Station?

M:The best way is to take an underground tube train directly to King’s Cross Station.The underground station is just round the corner from here.

W:Can you show me on the map?

M:It is very easy.Just turn right when you leave and then turn right again at the first crossroads.The entrance to the underground station is about 50 meters further on.

W:Thank you very much.

M:You’re welcome.

听第10段材料,回答第17至20四个小题。

M:Today I’m going to talk about gesture,and how we use our hands when we talk.Most of what I’m going to say is based on research done by Professor Susan Meadow.She’s written about her work in a book called Hearing Gesture: How Our Hands Help Us Think.It’s on your book list.Professor Meadow has spent a long time studying gestures.We usually don’t even notice how we’re using our hands when we talk.But try talking without hands! Our hands and our eyes and even how we move our bodies all help us to communicate.

OK.The first point I’d like to make is that everybody gestures,including people who have been blind from birth.So even someone who has never seen a gesture will use his or her hands when speaking.So scientists have concluded that gesturing is not something that we learn from other people.It’s something that we do naturally,and that we’re all born with.
