Some people make you feel comfortable when they are around. You spend an hour with them and feel as if you have known them half your life. 1. Here are several skills that good talkers have. If you follow the skills, they'll help you put people at their ease, and make friends with them quickly. First of all, good talkers ask questions. 2. One well-known businesswoman says, "At business lunches, I always ask people what they did that morning. It's a common question, but it will get things going." From there you can move on to other matters — sometimes to really personal questions. 3. Second, once good talkers have asked questions, they listen to the answers. This point seems clear, but it isn't. Your questions should have a point and help to tell what sort of person you are talking to. And to find out, you really have to listen carefully and attentively. 4. If someone sticks to one topic, you can take it as a fact that he's really interested in it. Real listening also means not just listening to words, but to tones of voice. If the voice sounds dull, then, it's time for you to change the subject. Finally, good talkers know well how to deal with the occasion of parting. If you're saying good-bye, you may give him a firm handshake and say, "I've really enjoyed meeting you."5. Let people know what you feel, and they may walk away feeling as if they've known you half their life. A. You can become a popular person. B. It’s polite to listen to others with a smile. C. These people have something in common. D. Real listening at least means some things. E. If you want to see that person again, don't keep it a secret. F. And how he answers will let you know how far you can go. G. Almost anyone, no matter how shy he is, will answer a question.
Culture shock occurs when people have been suddenly thrown into a new culture. Newcomers may be anxious because they don’t speak the language. Neither do they know the customs or understand the people’s behavior in daily life. Quite often the visitor find that “yes” may not always mean “yes”, that friendliness does not necessarily mean friendship, or that statements that appear to be serious are really intended as jokes. The foreigners may be unsure as when to shake hands, when to start conversations, or how to approach a stranger. The idea of culture shock helps explain feeling of puzzlement and confusion. Language problems do not lead to all the setbacks that people feel. When one has lost everything that was once familiar, such as understanding a transportation system, knowing how to register(注册，登记) for university classes, or knowing how to make friends, difficulties in coping with the new society may arise. When an individual enters a strange culture, he or she feels like a fish out of water. Newcomers feel at times that they do not belong to the culture and feel deserted by the native members of the culture. When this happens, visitors may want to refuse everything about the new environment and may glorify and sing their own praises of the positive aspects of their own culture. On the other side, more visitors may sneeze at their native country by rejecting its value and instead choosing to approve of the value of the new country. This may occur as an attempt to accept the new culture in order to be taken in by the people in it. 1.What do people feel when they are suddenly in a new culture? A.Excited. B.Delighted. C.Upset. D.Hopeless. 2.We can infer from the second paragraph that _______. A.it’s impossible to get used to a new culture B.people feel confused due to culture shock C.foreigners often don’t mean what they say D.most foreigners are usually quite humorous 3.The underlined expression “he or she feels like a fish out of water” in the last paragraph suggests ______. A.people away from their cultures can hardly survive in a new culture B.a fish can not survive without water C.people away from their culture experience mental loneliness. D.people away from their culture have many difficulties in new environment 4.The biggest barrier(障碍) people often meet with in a new country is _____. A.the language B.the transportation C.the environment D.the puzzlement
At this very moment you’re thirsty and hunting for something to drink. So you start walking towards the drinks machine at school. As you drink you hear your teacher say those frightening words: “Could I see you for a moment in the classroom, please?” You can almost feel your blood pressure rise as you walk to your English class. She’s always picking on you. What can it be this time? You think of the test you did last Friday. Now your mind is racing, your heart is pounding, and your forehead is pouring with sweat. In situations like this you will often feel like running away but you may also feel like hitting someone on the nose. Your teacher asks you to go into the class. “Here it comes,” you think. But what you hear is: “Well done. Your test was excellent.” You can hardly believe your ears. Our fight or flight response is designed to protect us from tigers that would have once hidden in the woods around us, threatening(威胁) our survival. At times when our survival is threatened, there is no greater response to have on our side. When activated(刺激), the response causes stress hormones to pump through our body. When we face very real dangers to our survival, it is invaluable. However, few of the “tigers” we face in our lives cause a serious physical threat to our existence. They cause us no end of stress, triggering(引发) the full activation of our fight or flight response. They tend to cause us to overreact to the situation in a counterproductive (事与愿违的) way. It is counterproductive to hit someone (the fight response) or run away (the flight response). By recognizing the symptoms, we can begin to take steps to handle the stress overload. By learning to recognize the signals of fight or flight activation, we can avoid reacting excessively (过度地) to events and fears that are not life threatening. In doing so, we use this extra energy to help ourselves, borrowing the beneficial effects in order to change our emotional environment and deal productively with our fears, thoughts and potential dangers. 1.You feel nervous when walking to the classroom because ________. A.you broke the school rules B.you failed the test last Friday C.your teacher spoke to you loudly D.your teacher always blames you 2.What is Paragraph 4 mainly about? A.The power of our fight or flight response. B.How our fight or flight response works. C.The benefits of our fight or flight response. D.How we control our fight or flight response. 3.The underlined word “They” in Paragraph 5 probably refers to ________. A.fierce tigers B.real dangers C.dangers we face D.serious physical threats 4.A good understanding of our fight or flight response can help us ________. A.get rid of unnecessary stress B.face real dangers bravely C.find hidden dangers D.take threats seriously
The spread of Western eating habits around the world is bad for human health and the environment. These findings come from a new report in the journal Nature. David Tillman, a professor of ecology at the University of Minnesota, America, examined information from 100 countries to identify what people ate and how a diet affected health. He noted a movement beginning in the 1960s. He found that as nations industrialized (工业化), population increased and earnings rose, more people began to adopt what has been called the Western diet. The Western diet is high in sugar, fat, oil and meat. By eating these foods, people began to get fatter and sicker. David Tillman says overweight people are at greater risk of noninfectious(不传染的) diseases like diabetes (糖尿病) and heart disease. Unfortunately when people become industrialized, if they adopt this Western diet, they are going to have these health problems, especially in developing countries in Asia. China is an example where the number of diabetes cases has been jumping from less than one percent to 10 percent of the population as they began to industrialize over a 20year period. And that is happening all across the world, in Mexico, in Nigeria and so on. And, a diet bad for human beings is also bad for the environment. As the world's population grows, more forests and tropical areas will become farmlands for crops or grasslands for cattle. We are likely to have more greenhouse gas in the future from agriculture than that coming out of all forms of transportation right now. Mr. Tillman calls the link among the diet, the environment and human health “a trilemma” — a problem offering a difficult choice. He says one possible solution is leaving the Western diet behind. 1.According to the passage, more greenhouse gas might be given off in the future from ______. A.transportation B.developing countries C.agriculture D.developed countries 2.David Tillman believes that ______. A.the diet, the environment and human health are closely connected B.the Western diet is the only choice as the nation industrializes C.people in tropical areas are more likely to have diabetes D.traditional diets are more balanced than the Western diet 3.The main purpose of the passage is to ______. A.call on us to protect the environment B.warn us of the risk of the Western diet C.remind us of the importance of health D.advise us to have a balanced diet
After an absence of thirty years, I decided to visit my old school again. I had expected to find changes, but not a completely different building. As I walked up the school drive, I wondered for a moment if I had come to the right address. The dirty red brick houses had been swept away. In its place stood a bright, modern block. A huge expanse of glass extended (延展) across the face of the building, and in front, there was a well-kept lawn (草坪) where there used to be “an untidy gravel (沙石) yard”. I was pleased to find that it was bread time and that the children were all in the playground. This would enable me to meet some members of staff. On entering the building, I was surprised to hear loud laughter coming from what appeared to be the masters’ common room. I could not help remembering the teachers in my time, all dressed in black gowns and high collars. And above all, I recalled Mr Garston whom we had nicknamed “Mr Ghastly”, the headmaster who had iron discipline on staff and pupils alike. I knocked at the common room door and was welcomed by a smiling young man who introduced himself to me as the headmaster. He was dressed casually in a sports jacket, and his cheerful manner, quickly dispelled (驱散) the image of Mr Ghastly. After I had explained who I was, the headmaster presented me to the teachers all of whom were a little younger than himself, and said he would take me round the school. Here the biggest surprise of all was in store for me. Gone were the heavy desks of old with their deeply carved names; gone too, were the dark classrooms with their ink stained, dark brown walls, and their raised platforms for the teachers. The rooms now were painted in bright colors, and the children, far from sitting straight in their places, seemed almost free to do as they liked. I looked with envy as I remembered how, as a child, I had looked at the blackboard hardly daring to whisper to my neighbor. 1.The writer ______. A.had no difficulty in recognizing his old school B.found it difficult to recognize his old school C.noticed that the building was still unfinished D.was surprised to see an untidy gravel yard 2.Which of the following statements is NOT true? A.He had expected that the school had completely changed. B.In the writer’s time, all the teachers were dressed in black gowns and high collars. C.There was a well-kept lawn in their school when he visited it. D.An untidy gravel yard had disappeared. 3.“Mr. Ghastly” must be ______. A.the writer’s teacher B.a serious old man C.the strict headmaster D.a naughty boy 4.From what is said in the passage it seems clear the writer ______. A.disapproved of all the changes that had taken place B.felt sorry for the children in the school C.was glad that the school was still the same D.felt that conditions at the school had improved a lot

Recently I paid a visit to Harvard University, where there are top class scientists and professors and the best academic system in the world. I was pretty shocked when I first stepped onto the campus. Well, it's not even really a campus. It's more like a district in a small town. Harvard's main buildings are from the 18th century. They look very old and simple. You might even say they're a little shabby. They don't fit the modern idea of university at all. The buildings are surrounded by grass and trees, so I felt as if I had walked into a medieval castle. But when I looked across the street, busy shops and in-fashion students made me feel like I was in the 21st century again. It creates a strong contrast and brings a special atmosphere to the school. Our tour guide Gary took us around and told us: "You see this grass field in the center of the school? Here is where they host their graduation ceremony. They just set up tents and benches and have a very simple ceremony. Unbelievable! Who would think the most talented students just graduate on the lawn? I saw some students put a blanket on the grass and lie down to read a book. When I listened to the soft sound of pages turning, along with chirping of the birds, I felt very calm. There was no competitive feeling at all. Harvard has the world's first computer in its science center and there are hundreds of high-end computers too. Its religion and the literature departments are also among the best. It is the perfect mix of tradition and new technology. It makes Harvard a very attractive place to study in. I hope one day I'll attend my dream school—Harvard. 1.The article is mainly about_____________. A.the author's campus life in Harvard B.the author's impression of Harvard C.Harvard's old buildings D.the academic system at Harvard 2.The author was most impressed by_____________, according to the article. A.Harvard's mix of tradition and new technology B.the classes held on beautiful lawns at Harvard C.Harvard students not taking their graduation ceremony seriously D.the feeling of not living in modern society on the campus 3.What can we conclude from the article? A.Harvard campus is actually a district of a big city. B.There are no competitions at Harvard University. C.Graduation ceremonies are not complex at Harvard. D.All Harvard buildings date back to the 18th century. 4.Accord to the article, in which fields is Harvard top in the world? A.Literature, arts, and law. B.Religion, law and arts. C.Literature, arts and computer science. D.Religion, computer science and literature.

About 10 percent of public school students in the United States learn English as a second language. In some states, that number is much higher. About five million students in the country are considered English language learners, or ELLs. Such students are the fast-growing group in the US public schools. The most commonly first spoken languages among ELLs in America are Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, Haitian Creole and Vietnamese. Speakers of those five languages make up 92 percent of all ELLs included in the report. English language learners can choose one of several kinds o1 program. There are some programs, in which students are mostly taught in their native language. And there are other programs, which offer students almost all classroom teaching in English. However, These kinds of programs do not always allow students to write and read in their native language. There are also so-called bilingual programs. These programs offer teaching in two languages-English and another language. Research has shown that English language learners do best in bilingual programs, especially if the second language is their native language. The lack of high-quality bilingual programs is clear. Nationally, about 83 percent of students complete their high school education. But the graduation rate (比率) among English language learners is far lower 65 percent. School systems across the country sometimes look for bilingual educators internationally. But education experts say there are ways for states to find and train new teachers in their own areas. This spring, America came up with a list of “grow your own” rules for schools and states to follow. It advised states to offer a series of ways for bilingual teachers. It also suggested training bilingual teachers in their own areas even if they do not have a college degree. 1.What can we learn about English from paragraph 1? A.It is difficult for most students. B.It is popular as a second language in American public schools. C.It is easy for foreign students. D.It is not welcome by public school students. 2.How many types of programs for English language learners are mentioned in the text? A.One. B.Two. C.Three. D.Four. 3.What does the underlined word “bilingual” in paragraph 4 mean? A.Learning one language. B.Using two languages. C.National. D.International. 4.Where is the text probably from? A.An educational magazine. B.A maths paper. C.A diary. D.a storybook.
It’s reported that scientists in London have found the best diet for both humans and the planet. If the world followed the so-called “planetary health” diet, each year more than ll million early deaths could be avoided according to the scientists. For the health of the planet, they say the same diet will reduce (减少) greenhouse gases and save more land, water and animals. This new food plan is the result of a three-year project organized by The Lancet health journal. Tim Lang, a professor at Britain’s University of London. He said, “The food we eat and how we produce it decide the health of people and the planet.” Lang added, The world’s population is expected to grow to 10 billion people by 2050. If we want to feed everyone, we all need to change what we eat and the way we eat by improving food production and reducing food waste”. So, what do you eat on the “planetary health” diet? The scientists who created the “planetary health” diet say it is largely plant-based but still has a little milk, fish and meat. The diet calls for cutting down red meat and sugar by 50 percent and increasing nuts, fruits, and vegetable. Walter Willet of Harvard University in the United States also talked about the “planetary health” diet. He said, “More than 800 million people around the world do not get enough food while many more people have very unhealthy diets.” The scientists think it difficult to reach their aim. But for them, doing nothing is also not a choice Willet said, “If we can’t make the best diet, it’s better to try and get as close as we can.” 1.What decides the health of people and the planet according to Tim Lang?

I still remember a lovely girl, though I don’t know her name. We met in the Children’s Hospital. I was 11. I was born with a hole in my heart. So was the five-year-old girl in the bed beside me. We were both recovering from the same operation. Because I was older and wiser, I thought it was my job to look after her. “Do you want to hear a story?” I asked her one afternoon. “Great!” she said. It was so easy to make her happy. She seemed always to be smiling or singing songs. Life wasn’t fair. She passed away. My recovery went well. “You’re really lucky”, a nurse told me. “But how come my operation was so easy and hers wasn’t?” I asked. “Easy?” my dad said. “David, your operation wasn’t easy at all. we thought we were going to lose you. For two weeks after your operation many things could go wrong. You’re really lucky. When you were in the coma (昏迷), she used to come over to your bed and sing to you. She was watching over you.” my dad said. My surgery scars (手术疤痕) are hidden under my shirt along with the memory of that kind little girl. She will be at my side like a small angel (hi). I am old and wise enough now to know that I have an angel watching over me whenever life is fair or unfair. 1.Why did the writer look after the little girl? A.He thought it was his duty.
