    Question: I have recently got a senior position within my company．One of my new tasks is to made monthly progress reports on my department in front of other senior officials. During my first meeting, I presented and then opened the floor to questions． 1. My first reaction was to answer defensively．Later, I realized that I shouldn’t have felt that way．But how can I keep cool and effectively answer questions in this type of settings?

    Answer: Congratulations on your new position! Presenting in front of your peers （同事）is a hard task in itself and it becomes much more difficult when a question-and-answer period is required! Question-and-answer periods are a great way to clarify the message and strengthen key points． 2.

    ● 3.

    When a person is asking a question, show interest and a desire to understand the question by listening and asking for clarification．

    When you’re a junior in high school, three little letters quickly become larger than life: SAT.

    At the start of my junior year, I realized that the environment was packed with competition. Surprisingly, this pressure didn’t come from adults. It came from the other students. Everyone in my grade had college on the brain. To get into the college of our choice, we all believed, we had to outcompete and outscore everyone else with less sleep, because time for sleeping was time you didn’t spend studying for the SAT.

    I let myself get swept up in the pressure. My new motto was, if I wasn’t in every single honor level class, I wasn’t doing enough. I was bad-tempered and I couldn’t focus. I stopped talking to my friends and my mom, and I couldn’t figure out who I was. I didn’t have the confidence to know that my own passions and unique skills were what would make me stand out to colleges.

    That’s when I realized: I am not my SAT score. Trying to stick to what I thought colleges wanted masked who I really am. I decided to rely on my strengths and get away from the crazy pressure I was putting on myself.

    Instead of forcing myself into higher levels of math, I took on an extra history class. I learned how to love what I was doing and not what I thought I was supposed to do. I learned to shine as an individual, not a faceless member of the crowd. And I found that not only was this better for my happiness, but it also made me more effective and efficient when I studied.

    To me, individuality means having the confidence to decide who I am and who I want to be, and a number on a page is never going to change that. I am more sure of myself, and more ready to apply for college, than ever.

    1.At the start of the junior year, the author decided to study for the SAT ________.

    A. to overcome the pressure from other high school students

    B. to test how good she was at studying compared to others

    C. because it was exciting to compete with others to get into college

    D. because she was eager to get an advantage over others in the competition

    2.When did the author realize she shouldn’t just compete for scores?

    A. When she got in every single honor level class.

    B. When everybody stopped talking to her.

    C. When she found she was no longer her usual self.

    D. When she forced herself to take advanced maths.

    3.What can you infer from Paragraph 5?

    A. She tried to live as who she was, not just a student focusing on grades.

    B. She learned to team up with others and so gained efficiency.

    C. She managed to do well in both maths and history classes.

    D. She wanted to be number one and no one could change her mind.

    4.Which statement best expresses the main idea of the passage?

    A. Pressure brings out the best in you.

    B. You will stand out by being your best self.

    C. Things will happen whether you like it or not.

    D. Life is just a matter of decisive times.

    I was taking a train to London’s Victoria Station. I had noticed that the carriage was noise and filled with people.

    Before long, a train inspector comes to check out tickets. A passenger realized he couldn’t find his ticket but became quite upset. Then everyone in the carriage began searching the ticket, which was eventually found under a seat several rows from his owner. The person who found a ticket smiled with pleasure at his success.

    No one in the carriage had previous spoken to or even noticed the ticket-owner before. Yet, they had so quickly offered the strangers their help. If we could show concern to others in need, the world would be a better place to live.

    Have you ever found yourself in this situation: You hear a song you used to sing when you were a child – a bit of nostalgia(怀旧) or “blast from the past,” as we say. But it is not a distant childhood memory. The words come back to you as clearly as when you sang them all those years ago.

    Researchers at the University of Edinburgh studied the relationship between music and remembering a foreign language. They found that remembering words in a song was the best way to remember even one of the most difficult languages.

    Here is what they did. Researchers took 60 adults and randomly divided them into three groups of 20. Then they gave the groups three different types of “listen-and-repeat” learning conditions. Researchers had one group simply speak the words. They had the second group speak the words to a rhythm, or beat. And they asked the third group to sing the words.

    All three groups studied words from the Hungarian language for 15 minutes. Then they took part in a series of language tests to see what they remembered.

    Why Hungarian, you ask? Researchers said they chose Hungarian because not many people know the language. It does not share any roots with Germanic or Romance languages, such as Italian or Spanish. After the tests were over, the singers came out on top. The people who learned these new Hungarian words by singing them showed a higher overall performance. They did the best in four out of five of the tests. They also performed two times better than those who simply learned the words by speaking them.

    Dr. Katie Overy says singing could lead to new ways to learn a foreign language. The brain likes to remember things when they are contained in a catchy 3, or memorable 4, tune 5.

    Dr. Ludke said the findings could help those who struggle to learn foreign languages. On the University of Edinburgh’s website Dr. Ludke writes, “This study provides the first experimental evidence that a listen-and-repeat singing method can support foreign language learning, and opens the door for future research in this area.”

    1.The “song” mentioned in the first paragraph is intended to ________.

    A. recall the past

    B. attract the readers

    C. introduce the topic

    D. compare the childhood with the present

    2.According to the passage which language doesn’t share the same root with Germanic or Romance languages?

    A. Hungarian. B. Spanish. C. Italian. D. English.

    3.Based on the last two paragraphs, we can conclude that ________.

    A. singing is the best way to learn a language

    B. the brain probably works best when the foreign language learners sing the words

    C. a listen-repeat method is very effective for any language learner

    D. Dr. Katie Overy and Dr. Ludke disagree with each other

    4.In which situation can the finding of the research be applied?

    A. A mother is going to teach her baby how to speak.

    B. A child is going to have his first music lesson.

    C. A student is going to learn a new English song.

    D. An American is going to learn some Chinese.

    A story of a man who made the brave journey of love, cycling from India to Sweden to see his sweetheart, has gained the hearts of thousands online. A Facebook post, that has been linked more than 113,000 times, shares the tale of how Dr. Pradyumna Kumar Mahanandia crossed eight countries to be reunited with his wife Charlotte Von Schedvin in her native country.

    The story began in 1975 when wealthy 19-year-old Charlotte Von Schedvin, who was a student in London at the time, traveled to India in 1975 to meet the poor but famous artist Mahanandia. The Indian was born in 1949 into a poor family in Odisha, Dhenkanal and was considered an untouchable in the society.

    Although his family couldn’t afford his education, he managed to gain a place at the College of Art in New Delhi where word of his talent quickly spread.

    In events that wouldn’t be out of place in a romantic movie, when young Charlotte Von Sledvin met with the painter, the two fell in love with one another. He was greatly impressed by her beauty and she, with his pure simplicity. Despite their contrasting backgrounds, the pair shortly married.

    In 1978, the time came for Charlotte to return to her native country, and she requested her husband join her back in Europe. However, Mahanandia was in the middle of his studies and said he would join her after these were completed. The couple stayed in touch through letters and despite Charlotte’s offers to send flight tickets, Mahanandia was determined to meet her in his own way.

    Selling his belongings, he managed to get enough money to buy a second-hand bike and set out on the intrepid journey to be reunited. From New Delhi the love-struck adventurer entered Afghanistan, Iran, Turkey, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, Germany, Austria and Denmark. It wasn’t all easy sailing. His bike broke down a lot of times along the way and he had to go on without food for days.

    In total the trip took four months and three weeks before he finally reached Gothenburg, Sweden. Upon arrival, he was questioned by immigration officers, who were said to be amazed at his story of devotion after he shared photographs of his marriage.

    Her parents welcomed him with open arms and 40 years later, the pair are still happily married. Dr PK Mahanandia serves as the Odiya Cultural Ambassador of India to Sweden and lives with his wife and two children in Sweden. He has become well-known in Sweden as an artist and as an adviser of Art and Culture, under the Swedish Government too.

    1.How did Mahanandia and Charlotte meet for the first time?

    A. Charlotte travelled to India to meet Mahanandia.

    B. Mahanandia went to study in the same school with Charlotte.

    C. Mahanandia cycled to Sweden.

    D. Their families arranged the meeting.

    2.The underlined word “intrepid” in Paragraph 6 means _______.

    A. longB. excitingC. braveD. poor

    3.What’s the best title for this passage?

    A. A Romantic StoryB. Meet across Boarder.

    C. Mahanandia and Charlotte.D. Journey of Love.
