Last Friday I took the subway home as usually. Since our physics teacher had just teach us in class that the escalator（自动扶梯） worked, I decided to see how fast the escalator went. To my surprise, it went a speed of about 40 m/min. The next day, I went to a department store with her cousin Emily. I times the escalator here too. I found that it was much slower, going about 30 meter every minute. Why? I check on the Internet and found the reason. Stores slow down escalators on a purpose, allowing customers more time to looking at their products.

    If you need to interview someone for an article but you have never interviewed before, it can be frightening. Here are some tips for preparing for and conducting a successful interview.

1. If the person is a known author or speaker, take the time to read or listened to his/her work, or at least get familiar with his/her most recent or most important work. If the interview will cover events, review whatever is known publicly about those events..

Being a recording device(录音设备). You can use your phone or an audio recorder. In this way you needn’t struggle to write things down. 2. And this will make it easier to include direct quotes when you start writing.

Remember to make it a conversation rather than a list of questions. Prepared questions are just a guideline. 3.. You can also try to ask your interviewee about his/her personal thoughts and reactions to events and people they deal with.

Appropriate feedback(反馈) is also important. Feel free to say words that show you are listening, like “yeah” and “Mmmm”. 4. You can also give more facial feedback like smiling.

5. If the interviewee changes suddenly from one line of thought to another, lead them back to the area you are focusing on. Guide the interview but don’t keep interrupting with many questions.

A.Politely ask if you can interview them.

B.Do your homework before you pick up the phone.

C.Then you can focus all your attention on the interview.

D.Consider how all the questions can be asked in a short time.

E.Nodding your head can be an encouragement to the interviewee.

F.In order to get the information you need, you should guide the interview.

G.You can try to ask questions based on what they have said to you in previous responses.

    When going through major life changes, like changing careers, I would change the people with whom I spent the most time. We’ve all gone through periods when the people in our lives have changed—graduation, moving to a new city, getting a new job, joining a new club, etc. I don’t think I need to convince you just how much influence other people can have over your identity. If you’ve ever experienced a major switch in your people environment, then you know that you change as well.

Most people don’t make these choices consciously though. You might consciously decide to spend more time with a certain friend, or you may ask someone out on a date to begin a new relationship. But few people choose their existing friendships deliberately.

There’s no “getting rid of people”. People are always dropping into and out of each other’s lives. Associations grow into friendships, and friendships fade into associations. You don’t get rid of anyone. The truth is that in order to make room for new people and new experiences, you may need to loosen up some of your existing connections.

What about loyalty? Shouldn’t you always be loyal to your friends? Once you have a close friend, even if their influence on you is slightly harmful, shouldn’t you stick by them?

Loyalty to a friend sometimes means having to let go. It means being loyal to their highest and best as well. If someone is destroying his health by smoking, for example, you aren’t showing loyalty by smoking right along with him. True loyally sometimes requires that you break damaging connections, get yourself back on solid ground, and then decide what you can really do to help your friend.

It can take a lot of courage to tell someone, “I’m sorry, but I can’t have you in my life anymore." But even though this might seem like a selfish act at times, it’s often the best thing for the other person too. If a relationship is holding you back in some way, understand that it is also hurting the other person. For example, if you work for a violent boss, your acceptance of that situation is considered to be silent approval, encouraging your boss to continue to behave violently.

1.When experiencing major life changes, people may ________.

A.join a new social community B.influence their friends around

C.choose their friendships purposely D.have their people environment changed

2.What can be concluded from Paragraph 3 in the passage?

A.Everyone has at least one friend.

B.Friendship still exists though there’s less connection.

C.It is unnecessary to make new friends.

D.You ought to treat your old and new friend equally.

3.What is the author’s opinion on the loyalty to friends?

A.Never betray your close friends whatever happens.

B.Correct their mistakes while you guard their goodness.

C.Stick by your friends even though they do harm lo you.

D.Break up with your friends immediately if they smoke.

4.How should we behave when employed by a violent boss?

A.We should accept what we are told to do.

B.We should stay silent and be in favor of it.

C.We should bravely disobey him if he is wrong.

D.We should give our boss courage to continue.

    A teenager needs to have a sense of independence in their life to feel secure（安全的）. To some teenagers independence means a lot to them, and I think that some parents don’t allow their teenagers enough independence.

Independence has something to do with freedom. Some kids are not allowed to go anywhere alone, and the only thing their schedule includes is going to school, coming home, going to sleep, and repeating the process the next day. Parents tend to be afraid that their kids can get hurt if they go outside into the world. But if parents control their kids too much, they may never learn to live on their own. The best way for a teenager to learn lesson is through experience. I think it is beneficial for teenagers to have freedom.

Teenagers’ lack of freedom can also stop them from having good friendship at school. Some might say this is a good thing, because it helps them focus more on their school work. I argue that this can only discourage them not to do their school work. Some parents do not allow their children to be around their friends outside the school, thinking that this will get them into trouble. But I don’t think so. Instead, isn’t this a good reason for parents to get their children a cellphone? Cellphones allow teenagers to stay in touch with their parents, and communicate with friends.

Privacy is another issue between parents and their teenagers. Teenagers tend to enjoy relaxation by themselves in their own room. This also gives them a sense of independence. It often annoys teenagers when their parents enter their room when they are not home. I know that my mom always goes in my room when I’m not home, and this has brought me to the point where I have asked many times to get a lock on my door.

1.What is the main idea of the second paragraph?

A.Kids know how to live independently.

B.Some parents allow their kids no freedom.

C.It benefits teenagers to have freedom.

D.Kids have a dull routine every day

2.In the opinion of the author, ___________.

A.parents should make it easy for kids to communicate with their friends

B.good friendships between kids harm their school work

C.it is unnecessary for a kid to have a cellphone

D.kids should focus on the school work

3.How do teenagers usually feel when their parents enter their rooms in their absence?

A.Disappointed B.Lucky

C.Angry D.Calm

4.The author hopes to have her door locked in order to ______________.

A.keep her father from reading her dairy B.prevent her mother entering her room

C.Protect herself from any harm D.Stop thieves from going in
