    Even if you are naturally shy, these three tricks will help you to quickly build a new social circle in any new city.

1. Take pictures

One of the great things about taking pictures at an event or party is that it gives you an excuse to get in touch with the person later. Everybody loves seeing pictures of themselves, and it’s very easy after taking a picture to say “If you’d like I can email it to you.” This can be the seed that leads to new connections. The next time you hear about a fun event email your new contacts to let them know about it.

2. Eat alone in public

You might feel self-conscious eating by yourself but it has an important benefit: you are much easier to approach when you are alone. People may be afraid of interrupting you or being rude if you are in a conversation with someone else. Bring a book or newspaper to read (this will make you feel less self-conscious). Plus, having an interesting book with you will give others an excuse to start a conversation if they’ve read it.

3. Join a class, sports team, or club

Yoga, salsa dancing, volleyball, Toastmasters (a public speaking club), a class for work, etc. Take up a new hobby or continue an old one!

These are all great places to meet new people, primarily because you will be forced to see the same people over and over again in the class. You will automatically make friends with them if you have a common interest and are forced to see each other again.

Tips：

*In the beginning, never turn down an invitation from someone, even if it’s something you wouldn’t normally do.

*Email your new friends with fun things to do instead of always asking what their plans are. If they have a better plan you can drop yours and join them. This will help establish you as someone who is contributing value instead of just taking it (people want this in a friend).

*Don’t let little things in life upset you or be a negative person. People don’t want to be around someone like that!

1.When having meals, you’d better ________ if you want to make new friends.

A.approach others to show conscious friendliness

B.start a conversation with those who have friends aside

C.invite others to your apartment to eat together

D.sit on your own in public places

2.According to the text, which of the following is NOT mentioned as an advantage of joining a class?

A.It helps you find out people who share a common interest with you.

B.It helps you find out your interest and take up a new hobby.

C.It offers an opportunity to meet the same people repeatedly.

D.It is a good way to meet new people and make friends in a new city.

3.Which of the following pieces of advice is a tip from the text?

A.Try to be outgoing and talkative instead of being shy.

B.Never turn down an invitation from your friends.

C.Offer suggestions on how to spend time together.

D.Always give a positive response to any request.

4.By writing the text, the author intends to tell us ________.

A.why you should change when you move to a new city

B.how you can make new friends in a new city

C.why you should make new friends in a new city

D.how you can keep in touch with strangers

阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。

A friend’s grandfather came to America from Eastern Europe. After 1.(settle) down at Ellis Island, he went into a cafeteria in Manhattan to get something 2. (eat). He sat down at an empty table and waited for someone to take his order. Of course nobody did. 3. (final), a woman with a tray full of food sat down opposite him and informed him 4. a cafeteria worked.

“Start out at that end,” she said. “Just go along the line and pick out what you want. At 5. other end they’ll tell you how much you have to pay.”

“I soon 6. (learn) how everything works in America,”the grandfather told the friend. “Life’s a cafeteria here. You can get everything you want as long as you are 7. (will) to pay the price. You can even get success, 8. you’ll never get it if you wait for someone to bring it to you. You have to get up and get it yourself.”

You can’t change the inevitable. The only thing you can do 9.(be) to control your attitude. Once you reach that point in life, happiness and 10.(satisfy) can’t be too far away.

The Art of Conversing

In a world of 6. 5 billion opinionated people，arguments are sure to happen. 1. But arguments can often lead to positive change—if you argue correctly.

Argue well

2. In a healthy argument，one’s own goal should be to make the problems clear, to communicate the upset behind the problems，and to really move toward a solution. The minimum goal should be to preserve (维护) the relationship well enough to keep communication alive.

What not to do

Nothing kills a healthy argument like a personal attack，and personal attacks are a big no－no if you want an argument to end positively. For example，while I was making a public speech，someone interrupted(打断) and then corrected me. 3. I completely lost my temper (脾气)，attacking that person directly and personally. Clearly I shouldn’t have done that.

Don’t be afraid of the heat

It’s true that personal problems must be left at the door. 4. Conflict (冲突) is acceptable in an argument as long as you stick to the subject. Attacking the other person is not useful. That kind of argument closes down the willingness on both sides to keep talking.

5. If you do find yourself in the thick of one，listening with an open mind can bring about a quick end to the argument and perhaps a positive solution.

A. I later ended up in an argument.

B. Many people see arguments as a bad part of life.

C. Learning how to voice a different opinion works.

D. Unpleasant arguments are just around the corner.

E. But that doesn’t mean arguments won’t get heated.

F. There certainly is such a thing as a “healthy argument”.

G. By actively listening，many arguments can be avoided.

    A warm smile，a quick hello，an offer of directions or perhaps maybe a place to stay. The kindness of strangers is one of my fondest experiences and memories from my travels.

When arriving in Slovenia from Croatia just before dark，I made a line to my hotel on the map，thinking I could easily find it. After walking around in circles for what felt like hours，I approached(靠近) a bus driver and tried to explain where I was heading. After a few failed tries because of our different languages，he signaled to me to get on the bus and took me to my hotel free of charge.

Once again，I got lost in Turkey. After almost running my rental car empty，luck would have it that I found a gas station and another kind person. The young cashier did not speak a word of English，but pulled his phone out and opened a translation app(应用软件). We managed to have a whole conversation of broken English/Turkish. I even wrote “tesekkür ederim”(thank you)and if his kindness hadn’t already melted(软化)my heart，his smile certainly did!

And finally，my favorite act of kindness：My husband and I had just boarded a bus heading from Nice to Menton in France. A lady sitting across from us noted our accents and upon finding out that we had traveled all the way from New Zealand，stood up and offered us her window seat. We kindly refused. But she insisted，“There is nothing quite like watching the sunset over the ocean on the French Riviera”. Not only did her kindness take me by surprise，we got to see one of the most beautiful sunsets in the world.

Strangers owe(欠) you nothing. Their acts of kindness show you that the world is an amazing place. So，enjoy the kindness of strangers and the unexpected human connections they bring.

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事．

Last year at Christmas time, my wife, three children and I were on our way from Paris to Nice. Somehow everything went wrong. Our hotels were “tourist traps” and our rented car broke down. On Christmas Eve, when we checked into a dirty hotel in Nice, there was no Christmas spirit in our hearts.

It was raining and cold when we went out to eat. We found a small restaurant poorly decorated for the holiday. Only five tables in the restaurant were taken. There were two German couples, two French families, and an American sailor, by himself. They were eating in stony silence except the sailor. He was writing a letter, and a half-smile lighted his face. In the corner a piano player was listlessly (无精打采地) playing Christmas music.

All of us were interrupted by an old French flower woman through the front door. She had a worn overcoat and her old shoes were wet. Carrying her basket of flowers, she went from one table to another. No one bought any. Exhausted and frustrated, she sat down at a table.

The sailor finished his meal and got up to leave. Putting on his coat, he walked over to the flower woman's table.

“Merry Christmas,” he said, smiling and picking out a handful of flowers. “How much are they?”

“Two francs, sir.”

The sailor put a twenty franc note in the woman’s hand.

“I don't have change, sir, ” she said. “I'll get some from the waiter.”

“No, ma'am, ” said the sailor, leaning over and kissing the ancient cheek. “This is my Christmas present for you.”

    Education has always been a hot topic.How to educate children can be a sweet but painstaking task for parents, many of whom try to offer their children the best environment. Competition between parents over children's education may start from the kind of animated (动画) series children watch. 1. By watching the former, children can learn English at the same time. However, this does not mean those watching foreign shows perform better than those watching Chinese ones.  2. They can help children learn traditional Chinese culture and history.Take Journey to the West for example. 3.

By watching this show, children can learn more about the history of the Tang Dynasty and the development of Buddhist culture in China. Foreign shows can open a window for children to gain a better understanding of the outside world. So, children ought to be encouraged to watch both as long as the content of the show is beneficial.

This can also be applied to other things beyond animated series. 4. However, some parents fail to do this. Their incorrect view can more or less leave an influence on their children. Innocent (天真的) children, influenced by their parents, slowly hold the view that watching foreign shows is better than watching Chinese shows. 5.

A. Chinese shows have their own advantages.

B. Foreign animated series are always the first choice for parents.

C. Children often follow their parents' advice when choosing animated series.

D. For example,children can be encouraged to read folk tales at home and abroad.

E. Once the view is formed in children's minds, parents' education proves a failure.

F. This show is based on one of the four great classical novels of Chinese literature.

G. For some parents, watching foreign animated shows is better than watching Chinese ones.

    With a focus now on the environmental influence over the fashion industry, some bloggers who cut their teeth sharing details of endless clothes and products are changing their direction-enter the “no-buy” movement. The idea is simple: instead of buying new clothes or beauty products, you make a promise to use the things you already own. Some people sign up to a “no-buy year”. Others decide not to buy for a few weeks or months or choose “low-buy” with a strict spending cap.

This life style has caught the attention of many people who struggle to keep up with the latest fashion. Modern people’s desire for material things is often not caused by poverty (贫穷) , but by anxiety, which is further enlarged by the rise of social media.

“Social media puts pressure on people to spend money,” says Katherine Ormerod, author of Why Social Media is Ruining Your Life. Many online influencers are given the items they use and wear for free, but Ormerod is determined not to wear any new products she is given. “Really I just want to convince people they don’t have to spend a lot of money on fashion to look stylish and there’s no such thing as ‘last season’ anymore,” she says. “True style has never been about that anyway.”

However, self-satisfied expressions of minimalist (极简主义的) living have earned plenty of doubts. “Minimalism is a good quality only when it’s a choice, and it’s telling that its fan base is from the well-off middle class. To people who don’t have enough in the first place, celebrations of ‘less is more’ can sound more like a luxury (奢侈) than a considerable loss.” Stephanie Land wrote in The New York Times.

1.What does the underlined word “cap” mean in paragraph 1?

A.Soft hat. B.Loose budget. C.Upper limit. D.Money box.

2.Which of the following does Katherine Ormerod agree with?

A.Overspending results in anxiety. B.High price goes with good quality.

C.True style is getting the latest product. D.Social media affects buying decisions.

3.What does Stephanie Land think of minimalism?

A.It’s suitable for the rich. B.It's a wise choice.

C.It’s out of date. D.It's an impractical idea.

4.What is the text mainly about?

A.Buying habit. B.Social media.

C.Fashion industry. D.No-buy movement.

    A new officer with the Huntington Park Police patrols (巡逻) local parks 24 hours a day seven days a week.He doesn't need rest,coffee breaks,a salary or medical insurance,and that is because it is a Robocop.

The main function of the Robocop is to scan and film the surroundings.Besides cameras with night vision that report 360 degrees,it also has a distress button which is located here,so if somebody is to need assistance or they want to contact the communication center,they can do it by way of that distress button.There are people that are monitoring on the other end.

This newest police employee is self-charging.It's easy to program it and make changes to the software if necessary.Its maintenance (维护) costs are roughly 75 thousand dollars a year.It travels the entire park.It is a programmed path,but the police are able to change the path and adapt it.

The Robocop can record the license plates (车牌) of passing cars and check them against an online database of stolen cars.It can also help locate a lost iPhone because it is able to determine a smartphone's MAC address.The police can see from the robot if something wrong happens and then come and figure it out.

The Robocop can't replace its human handlers.The whole goal is to give police more time to do things machines can't do.The police have been having some concerns about safety of the parks and want an extra set of eyes that will help patrol a 24/7.Robocop's creators believe this model known as K5 is best used for providing security at public places like hospitals, parking lots,parks and airports.So far,it seems to be working out just fine.

1.What is the distress button used to do?

A.Locate the Robocop. B.Serve as an alarm device.

C.Communicate with visitors. D.Monitor the neighbourhood.

2.Which of the following can best describe the Robocop?

A.Helpful but dangerous. B.Intelligent but inexpensive.

C.Tireless and multifunctional. D.Fashionable and good-looking.

3.Why does the Robocop record the license plates of passing cars?

A.To direct traffic. B.To build a database.

C.To prevent accidents. D.To find lost cars.

4.What can we infer about the Robocop in the last paragraph?

A.It has limitation in use. B.It has been widely used.

C.Its creators need more support. D.Its security is still under test.

    Finding a suitable name for a baby is a big deal in China.When picking out a Chinese name,parents usually select two or three characters that have a carefully thought out meaning, but when deciding on an English name, many of them struggle.That's where Jessup and her company, Special Name,come in. In the last few years, Jessup has helped name 677,900 Chinese babies, and earned over $400,000 in the process, more than enough to pay her college fees.

Jessup came up with the idea for Special Name in 2015,after accompanying her father on a business trip to China.One of her dad's business partners,a Mrs.Wang, asked her to help choose an English name for her daughter.Jessup felt honored and quickly realized the importance of choosing a proper name in Chinese culture.The woman wanted people to be surprised by the things her daughter could achieve,so Jessup suggested the name"Eliza"after the character Eliza Doolittle from the play Pygmalion.Mrs.Wang seemed delighted with Jessup's choice."If Mrs.Wang needed this service,maybe other parents would as well,"Jessup thought.

After returning to UK,Jessup borrowed ￡1,500 from her parents and paid a web designer to build a website,She then spent her free time filling up a database(数据库)with around 4,000 English names,associating them with five major personality characteristics,like honesty and optimism.

In the beginning, Jessup offered the service for free to promote the website,but later,she started charging fees.The business is almost completely self-sufficient,requiring only a small team in China that manages technical operations.She updates the database each month,allowing her to focus full-time on studies.

1.What's the purpose of Special Name?

A.To help Chinese teens go abroad.

B.To strengthen children's personalities.

C.To pick an English name for a Chinese baby.

D.To make a deal with Chinese parents.

2.What inspired Jessup to set up Special Name?

3.What did Mrs.Wang want her daughter to be in the future?

A.A woman with achievements. B.A famous actress.

C.A successful businesswoman. D.A western culture expert.

4.What can we infer from the last paragraph about Special Name?

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

At a recent 6-ycar-old's birthday party together with my daughter, I watched two girls playing in a playroom. Three boys came over and decided they were going to drive the girls away. “No girls allowed, "said one boy. The other two boys crowded around the girls for effect. One of the girls, in fear, did as she was ordered and left the playroom. The other girl stood her ground. “We were here first. You can't kick us out,"she said.

They weren't my kids, so I gently told the boys that everyone was allowed to play in the playroom. The boys ignored me, and continued to push the remaining girl out of the room. The girl fell on the ground and screamed in pain. The boys went on with their no-girls-allowed game. I took the girl over to the parents at the party and explained what had happened. What followed was a lesson in how girls were schooled in male power and privilege（特权）.

The girl's mother told her that she should have stayed away from the boys. The message to the girl was that it was her fault because she didn't do what the boys had ordered. A father of one of the boys laughed and told me that I should have caught the girl as she fell. There were no consequences for the boys. Their violence was so much an accepted part of their behaviour that it didn't even raise an eyebrow. In fact, the attitude of the father was that using physical strength to get what you wanted was to be celebrated. The message to the boys was that they could hurt girls without any consequence. Another mother said,"It's so hard for boys and girls to play together at this age.”

    Teotihuacan was once one of the world's most important cities, but many things about it are still unknown today. How did the people live , and why did they abandon（放弃）their city? For years, answers to some of those questions have been buried in the Pyramid of the Moon. Now, findings in this ancient structure are helping archeologists learn more about Teotiuacan's people and their culture.

Until recently many experts thought Teotihuacan was a peaceful society mostly ruled by gentle and wise leaders. But recent findings in the Pyramid of the Moon show something else. Archeologists discovered a number of headless bodies. Most were foreigners, and other objects of power. Clearly the people and objects found inside the pyramid were offerings.

However, the findings in the pyramid are difficult to interpret. "These findings are like sentences." says archeologist Leonardo Lopez Lujan," but we don't have all the words… so they're hard to read." Despite these problems, several archeologists have concluded this; Teotihuacan was not a society governed by peaceful rulers. " In reality, officials used human sacrifice（祭品）says archeologist Saburo Sugiyama," to control the people. "The city probably also had a powerful army.

Who were the city leaders? Scientists don't know. They have not found a king buried in the pyramid or any status of Teotihuacan's rulers. But archeologists continue to search for them. They hope to learn more about the pyramid's creators and one of the world's most powerful ancient cities.

A.Discoveries in the Pyramid of the Moon.

B.An ancient leader who had the Pyramid of the Moon built.

C.Why the people of Teotihuacan abandoned their city.

D.How the Pyramid of the Moon was built in Teotihuacan.

2.Which of the following have NOT been found in the Pyramid of the Moon?

    Nearly all of us have a bad habit, whether we know it or not. Some people say they want to get rid of（摆脱）it but don't know the proper ways. Here's some advice on how to get rid of bad habits.

Make a list. Write down why you want to stop a certain behaviour, how it's hurting you and how to get rid of it. This will help a lot. Look at that list regularly.

Join in other activities. It's wise of you to do something else when you want to stop your bad habits. If you get angry easily, for example, you can practise having a deep breath or going for a walk.

Give yourself a present. Before you take action against a bad habit, decide what you'll do to celebrate it if you reach your goal,

Keep off bad habits. If you are fat and want to lose weight, keep junk food out of your house.If you are a heavy smoker with coffee, turn to tea and keep away from friends who like smoking.

Be patient. Bad habits develop over years, so you probably won’t be able to get rid of them quickly. In fact, people often give up several times before being successful, so you should be patient.

Find support. Don't be afraid to ask for support from friends, family or other people who have the same bad habits as you. When you talk to others, they might be able to provide advice or encouragement that you usually wouldn't get from yourself.

1.If you want to lose weight, you should         .

I'm worried that you've been addicted to share pictures in WeChat circle recently. You even share all sorts of photo in your daily life. Of course, WeChat makes better to understand each other and makes our life more colorful, which is very convenient for us to communicate with. However, there exist some potential trouble if we overshare. One severe problem is leaking privacy, that may cause economic losses. Besides, oversharing can make others uncomfortably, for they think you are showing off.

Thus, neither should we post our personal information, or should we blindly add strangers to a list of friends. It's much wise to set aside some time to accompany parents or do something more meaningful, such as reading books or taking exercise.
