How to Get Along with Others Well

There are a lot of different people in the world, but although we have our differences, we all want to get along. We enjoy being treated nicely. Getting along with someone isn't about being their best friends or sharing all their hobbies.1.

Be a good listener

2.Don't throw yourself in chat immediately when you have just arrived. First, examine the situation and the conversation, and then say whatever you consider fit.

Keep your sense of humor

A little laughter goes a long way, and a smile is good medicine. If someone is sad, smile at them.3.

Understand that people make mistakes

Forgiveness is not only polite, it leads to stronger friendships._ 4.. Be willing to accept an apology and try to think of things in others' shoes.

Be sincere

5. They all operate altogether, but nothing is more important than sincerity. People will sense when you are pretending to be positive. All of these tips without sincerity will end up destroying any positive effect you were hoping to produce. Following the tips above, you will find yourself getting along with people wherever you go!

C. While each one of these tips is important, none stands alone.

    American actor James Dean has been dead for 64 years. James Dean, who died at the age of 25 in September 1955, starred in just three movies before he died in a car accident. They are Rebel Without a Cause, East of Eden and Giant. Yet, he will star in a new movie about the Vietnam War thanks to digital technology ,which generates(产生) images of James Dean by computer.

The idea that one of the movies' most beloved former stars would be recreated digitally for a new film has been met with criticism(批评). Captain America actor Chris Evans called the plans to use Dean's image in the film disrespectful.

However, Mark Roesler, the chairman of CMG said, “Dean has more than 183,000 followers on Instagram, and that he is still important today. He was known as Hollywood's ‘rebel(叛逆)' who famously said 'if a man can bridge the gap(沟壑) between life and death, if he can live after he's dead, then maybe he is a great man.” Roesler added, “What was considered rebellious in the 50's is very different from what is rebellious today, and we feel confident that he would support this modern day act of rebellion.”

Anton Ernst, the film's director, said, “1 respect Dean's life and history. The movie is one of hope and love. There are still a lot of James Dean's fans worldwide and there would always be critics. All we can do is to tell a great story.” Ernst added, “The Dean family views this as his fourth movie, a movie he never got to make. We do not want to let his fans down.”

    Yousuf and his family left their home in eastern Afghanistan eight years ago. They went to the city of Kabul to escape war, but they could not escape sadness. Five of Yousuf's children died in the Afghan capital, not from violence, but from air pollution.

Kabul has become one of the most polluted cities in the world. On many days, a mix of smog and smoke lies over the city. In some cases, families burn whatever they can to keep warm in cold weather. The air in their own homes then poisons them. Many years of war have worsened the damage to Afghanistan's environment. At the local Children's Hospital, doctors say they have seen the number of patients with pollution-related health problems increase. Saifullah Abassin, a doctor at the hospital, says his hospital ward(病房) can hold 10 patients but often has three times that number.

“Thirty years ago, it was a wish for people to come to Kabul and breathe its air,” said Ezatullah Sediqi, deputy director for the National Environmental Protection Agency. “But in the wars since, we lost all our urban infrastructure(基础设施) for water, electricity, public transportation, green areas, all these things.”

Kabul's environmental department has started a program to control old vehicles, one major source of pollution. City officials have called on people to use fuel instead of burning garbage for heat. But there are other steps officials need to take, such as passing a plan to stop unplanned development and creating more green spaces.

1.What made Yousuf and his family leave their home?

A.War. B.Sadness. C.Violence. D.Air pollution.

2.What is NOT the cause of Afghanistan's environment problem?

A.Burning garage. B.Creating green spaces.

C.Using old vehicles. D.Losing urban infrastructure.

3.In which part of the newspaper may this text appear?

A.Education. B.Environment. C.Science. D.Culture.

    A nine-year-old child will become the youngest ever person to complete a university degree.

This December, Laurent Simons will gain his electrical engineering bachelor's degree (学士学位) from Eindhoven University of Technology, a challenging course even for 18-year-olds. It has taken Laurent only 9 months to complete what should be a four-year course. Laurent's teacher said, “He is three times smarter than the best student I have met in my long working experiences. He achieves what many adult students never reach.” The young gifted child finished easily the entire primary school courses in only 12 months and then took just 18 months to complete his secondary school studies. Laurent comes from a family of doctors, and his parents cannot offer any explanation as to why their son is so academically gifted. Every time he can pass every test effortlessly with flying colors.

While Laurent is clearly able to learn faster than most, his parents are being careful to let him enjoy himself too. His father said, “We don't want him to get too serious. He does whatever he likes. We need to find a balance between being a child and his talents.” Laurent enjoyed playing with his dog Sammy and playing on his phone, like many young people.

1.How many months did Laurent spend completing his courses in primary and secondary schools?

A.18. B.12. C.30. D.9.

2.What do the underlined words “with flying colors” mean in paragraph 2?

My hobby is rock climbing. I’ve been doing them for two years. In the beginning, I wasn’t very good, so I’ve gotten much better. I started rock climbing in junior high school. On first day, I felt high nervous, so I only climbed low rocks. It was hard, but very interested. So I kept on work, and now I could climb very fast. I like rock climbing because of it helps me stay in shape. It’s also a good way to make friend. I’ve met a lot of people. We climb, but we also hang out and spend time doing another things now.

Marian Bechtel sits at West Palm Beach's Bar Louie counter by herself, quietly reading her e-book as she waits for her salad. What is she reading? None of your business! Lunch is Bechtel's "me" time. And 1. more Americans, she's not alone.

A new report found 46 percent of meals are eaten alone in America. More than half (53%) have breakfast alone and nearly half (46%) have lunch by themselves. Only at dinnertime 2. we eating together, 74%, according to statistics from the report.

    The snow was falling and the roads had become dangerous. The schools were dismissed early, but much to my surprise, my ____ wasn’t canceled. So I went, feeling especially heroic. As far as I could see, I was risking my life to keep my ____. Snow or no snow, I would be on time for my scheduled donation at the local ____ center.

I’ve viewed my visits to the blood center _____ ever since.

My wife Karen is a _____, too. And more importantly, she has been on the bone marrow (骨髄) list for fifteen years, ever since she signed up to provide bone marrow to a kindergartner with leukemia (白血病). That little girl died before Karen’s bone marrow could help her, ____ Karen was called again recently. Her test results were still on file, and it turned out she was a potential ____ for someone else.

It was a race ____ time.

I wish I could say that this ____ was won. It wasn’t. The caller later thanked Karen for her participation and asked a few more questions—including whether or not she’d ____ on the donor list. “Of course,” Karen answered.

    News anchors(主播) must have been reluctant to read out the following news: Xin Xiaomeng began working as the world’s first female artificial(人工的) intelligence news anchor at Xinhua News Agency on Sunday, three months after a male robot joined the profession.

Unlike previous news robots though, Xin does not read news like a cold machine; she reads it almost like a human being. The muscles on her face stretch and relax — and her reactions change as she continues reading. That’s why many news anchors were worried: Will AI replace us in the near future?

To find the answer, we have to analyze the technologies that support Xin at her job. Three key technologies are used to support Xin. First, samples of human voices are collected and synthesized (合成). This is followed by the collection and synthesis of human muscle movement samples. And third the voices and movements are married in a way that when the AI news anchor reads, the micro- electric motors behind her face move to make her expressions seem more human.

Yet we need a thorough knowledge of deep learning technology to make a robot imitate a person’s voice. The developer needs to collect tens of thousands of pieces of pronunciations, input them into the machine and match them with the text for the AI to learn and read. The process for imitating facial movements is similar. The developer has to analyze the movements of the 53 muscles in the human face, make a model set from the collected data for the AI news anchor to learn, and imitate the movements of facial muscles via programs

Both the technologies used to make Xin’s performance impressive are mature. The real difficulty lies in the third — the technology to match the pronunciations with facial movements so that Xin’s expressions vary according to the content of the news report. In fact, Xin’s expressions don’t always change according to the content. As a result, her expressions look anything but human. Actually, AI is still no match for human qualities.

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

A.Delighted B.Unwilling

C.Confused D.Optimistic

2.What can we infer about previous news robots?

A.They read news without expressions. B.They looked like a human being.

C.They could interview sports stars. D.They could interact with audience.

3.From the last paragraph, we can draw a conclusion that     .

A.human news anchors should learn from AI anchors to save their jobs

B.Al anchors perform much better than human news anchors at present

C.Al news anchors won’t replace human news anchors in the near future

D.Xin Xiaomeng’s expressions vary so naturally that they are true to life

    Most heroes are not super. They don't appear in comic books, on television, or in movies. They just do what they believe needs to be done to make their world a better place. Bike Batman is one of them.

Bike Batman is a 30-year-old married engineer who lives in Seattle, Washington. He's a cyclist who also buys and sells bikes as a hobby.

About three years ago, he was looking for a bike for his wife. He found one on Craigslist, a website where people list things they want to sell. As he often does, he also looked at Bike Index, a popular website that allows users to register their bikes and post reports when they're taken. The bike, which he was considering purchasing, clearly matched one reported stolen on Bike Index. Then he called the person who claimed to be the bike's owner and arranged to meet him-- supposedly to complete the sale. When the two men met, Bike Batman told the thief, "You've got two options. You can wait until a police officer gets here, or you can just get out of here." You can imagine what the thief did.

After that first success, Bike Batman developed a safer routine. When he sees questionable bike ads on Craigslist, he cross-references the image with bikes reported on Bike Index. Once he has confirmed it with the owner, he arranges a meet-up with the thief and will call the Seattle police department so that officers can participate in the action. In more than half of the 22 cases in which he has got back and returned bikes, the thieves have been arrested. In one case, Bike Batman even helped a family recover a wide range of prized possessions that suspects had stolen during a home burglary.

His nickname came from a discussion with a police officer who suggested he be called "Robin Hood". Since he wasn't exactly stealing from the rich and giving to the poor, "Batman" seemed a better fit. The idea of a superhero punishing criminals feels pretty silly to him, but the main reason he continues his work is to keep up Seattle's reputation as a friendly city.

1.When Bike Batman discovers a questionable bike, he will first ________.

A.contact the owner of the stolen bike B.look up the bike's information

C.call the police department D.arrange to meet the thief

2.Bike Batman helps find the lost bikes to ________.

A.become famous B.help poor people

C.punish bike thieves D.build a friendly city

3.From the passage, we can learn that ________.

A.Bike Batman felt relieved to see the thieves arrested

B.Bike Batman began his good deeds by accident

C.the police failed to perform their duties

D.the thieves refused to return the bikes

    In the shadow of Kenya’s Mount Kilimanjaro, nine Rothschild giraffes, the rarest giraffes on the planet, are free to wander at the English-style manor (庄园). Every day shortly before 9am, they come up to the house and stick their heads through the windows and doors in search of morning treats. The manor’s owners, Tanya and Mikey Carr-Hartley, share their dining table with them. And now the couple are sharing the fantastic experience with the public by opening the manor gates to guests at the giraffe hotel, the only hotel of its kind in the world. Now, guests can feed the giraffes at breakfast but can also get up close to them from their second-floor bedrooms.

Mr and Mrs Carr-Hartley，both 38, spent their childhood living close to the house in Nairobi and have always been enthusiastic about the animals. Tanya said, “Mikey and I grew up near this manor house when we were children. We are both third generation Kenyans and have always wanted to work in conservation. Mikey’s family have been related to the protection of animals for many generations. His granddad helped the removal of giraffes as far back as the 1930s because the Rothschild giraffes lost much of their natural living space. When the house came up for sale, we jumped at the chance to buy it as we had always dreamed of owning it. Now, we were absolutely overjoyed to do something for the giraffe protection. Having the giraffes so close is very special and something which people can now experience by staying in one of the ten rooms at the hotel.”

A conservation project to save them was started at the manor in 1974 by the previous owners. “The previous owners ran a very successful breeding (繁殖) programme, where many giraffes were set free into the wild and we hope to continue,” said Tanya.

1.Why are the Carr-Hartley family unusual?

A.They’re living on the rarest giraffes. B.They share their home with giraffes.

C.They’re good at making giraffes’ food. D.They train giraffes to manage the hotel.

2.What can we know about Mikey’s family?

A.It has had a long connection with giraffes. B.It used to raise giraffes around the manor.

C.It built a new manor for the wild giraffes. D.It removed giraffes to Mount Kilimanjaro.

3.Which can best describe the manor’s previous owners’ conservation project?

A.Visitor-friendly. B.Energy-saving. C.Costly. D.Fruitful.

4.What is the suitable title for the text?

A.Giraffes’ breakfast by guests B.Reasons for giraffe protection

C.The world’s only giraffe hotel D.History of the giraffe manor

    Britain’s first zero-carbon homes are being built—and they look like something from a science-fiction movie.

There are 25 eco-friendly homes currently being built in Southmoor, near Abingdon, Oxon. Buyers are able to have the final say on floor layouts，kitchens and bathrooms. One three-bedroom home is on the market for￡801 ,000,with a custom build available to suit your own specification. These eco-friendly houses are powered entirely by electricity from solar panels around the houses. They also have advanced ventilation (通风) systems, making sure that temperatures inside the building don’t go beyond 25℃ for more than 10% of hours annually, as well as mini heat pumps to generate (产生) the heating and hot water on-site. Part of the cooling design includes avoiding east-or west-facing windows, and window shading.

And they’re in high demand. Ian Pritchett, of Ssassy Property, thinks the Government should do more to promote the construction of this type of housing. “Unfortunately, the Government relaxed the proposed 2016 zero-carbon targets after being lobbied(游说)by house builders,” Ian explained. “At present, the main house-building corporations control the land and only build at the rate they are sure will sell, keeping the UK’s housing shortage so that the normal rules of ‘supply and demand’ don’t apply. When there is a shortage of housing, buyers have to purchase what is available rather than what they might want.”

In any sensible society, we would expect the planning system to actively encourage zero-carbon houses，and he tough on anyone failing to deliver the necessary standard. Instead, we have a planning system that focuses on other aspects such as numbers of bedrooms, garden sizes, and parking places. These are important aspects, but they pale into insignificance compared to the catastrophic consequences of climate change.

1.What can a purchaser do before buying the type of housing?

A.Negotiate its price. B.Choose where to build it.

C.Decide how the inside of it looks. D.Design its ventilation.

2.How do people react to the zero-carbon homes?

A.Welcome. B.Uncaring.

C.Skeptical. D.Demanding.

3.What do house-building companies intend to do?

A.Balance the “supply and demand” of houses.

B.Purchase more land to stop climate change.

C.Build more houses powered by the sun.

D.Make it more difficult to buy houses.

4.What’s the author’s attitude to the Government’s planning system?

A.Satisfied. B.Disapproving.

C.Worried. D.Ambiguous.

    Amber has a degree in business management and economics.She put her skills to good use when she spent eleven months in Cambodia (柬埔寨) through World Hope International as a volunteer working with a local micro－finance (小额信贷) company to help the poor get financial services.

Amber's first few weeks in Cambodia was busy and difficult as she tried to learn the language，understand the culture and get used to her new surroundings.Her volunteer service involved working with a local micro－finance company.In addition to writing plans，preparing international marketing materials and building donor (捐赠人) relations，Amber met with company clients.During these visits she learned how the small loans they received transformed their lives.She learned first－hand the benefits of micro－finance，which by providing farmers and small－business owners with affordable working capital (such as money to buy a sewing machine) helped them to earn their way out of poverty (贫穷)．

“It never stopped amazing me when a client would show me a new home that was built because of a loan he received or the way a client's business had improved and thus allowed his children to be sent to school，” Amber said.

    Pete Rose，the famous baseball player，whom I have never met，taught me something so valuable that it changed my life.Pete was being interviewed in spring training the year he was about to break Ty Cobb's all－time hits record.One reporter asked, “Pete，you only need 78 hits to break the record.How many at－bats(轮到击球) do you think you'll need to get the 78 hits？” Without hesitation，Pete said，“78.” The reporter yelled back，“Ah，come on Pete.You don't expect to get 78 hits in 78 at－bats，do you？”

Mr.Rose calmly shared his rule in life with all the reporters who were anxiously awaiting his reply.“Every time I step up to the plate，I expect to get a hit！If I don't expect to get a hit，I have no right to step in the batter's box in the first place！If I go up hoping to get a hit，then I probably don't have a prayer of getting a hit.It is the positive expectation that has gotten me all of the hits in the first place.”
