My first lesson is at a meeting. As we settle around the table I hear Meg, who is a recent operation, talking to Judith, the manager of our project. “Thank you so much for my daughters to their dance lessons last week.” “Don’t mention it,” Judith says, “It was nothing.”

Knowing how Judith’s schedule is, with her work, kids and aging parents, I find her driving Meg’s children to lessons unbelievably . I am about to say more about this when Donna, another colleague, enters the room . She apologizes for being late, saying she just hosted a lunch for her friends who are over seventy. “That is so nice of you,” I say, how busy she is, how she doesn’t like to cook and clean. “Oh,” she says, waving her hand, “It was nothing.” , I can still tell the in her voice. She did gain a sense of satisfaction from the entertainment offered to her friends.

Seeing their to help others selflessly, I start thinking about the concept of “nothing”, this way of living--- had it really been nothing or are they simply saying that? It to me that once I spent a whole afternoon after work helping a friend a speech she was going to deliver. I her to rearrange the sequence of the stories in the lecture to make it sound more . After the fifth try, she finally it. She hugged me with , saying thanks to me. I smiled and said it was nothing.

Suddenly, I realized that helping someone was really something to me. I learned that giving from the heart doesn’t mean sacrifice and hard work. The is finding something we love to do and finding someone who that something. Our generosity can benefit others ourselves. Once you have a good of it, it’s nothing. And it’s really something.

Obama, Lady Gaga and Steve Jobs—what do they have in common? They are, of course, all Americans. And according to a survey by social networking site baidu. com, they all best illustrate(举例说明) the word “cool”.

But just what does it mean to say someone is “cool”? Most would answer that it is something to do with being independent-minded and not following the crowd.

Yale University art professor Robert Farris Thompson says that the term “cool” goes back to 15th century West African philosophy. “Cool” relates to ideas of grace under pressure.

“In Africa,” he writes, “coolness is a positive quality which combines calmness, silence, and life.”

The modern idea of “cool” developed largely in the US in the period after World War II. “Post-war ‘cool’ was in part an expression of war-weariness (厌战情绪), . . . it went against the strict social rules of the time,” write sociologists Dick Pountain and David Robins in Cool Rules: Anatomy of an Attitude.

But it was the American actor James Dean who became the symbol for “cool” in the hugely successful 1955 movie Rebel without a Cause. Dean plays a tough guy who disobeys his parents and the authorities. He always gets the girl, smokes cigarettes, wears a leather jacket and beats up bullies. In the movie, Dean showed what “cool” would mean to American young people for the next 60 years.

Today the focus of “cool” has changed to athletics (体育运动) stars. Often in movies about schools, students gain popularity on the athletics field more than in the classroom. This can be seen quite clearly in movies like Varsity Blues and John Tucker Must Die.

But many teenagers also think being smart is cool. Chess and other thinking games have been becoming more popular in schools.

“Call it the Harry Potterization of America—a time when being smart is the new cool,” writes journalist Joe Sunnen.

1.If you were considered “cool” in Africa in the 15th century, you_____.

A. thought and acted differently from the majority

B. had a calm and quiet attitude towards life

C. didn’t observe rules and authorities

D. had all kinds of “bad” manners

2.The heroes in Varsity Blues and John Tucker Must Die are likely to be those who ________.

A. do very well in their studies

B. are very skilled at sports

C. are good at chess and other thinking games.

D. have supernatural powers like Harry Potter

3.Which of the following is NOT true according to the article?

A. It is generally considered “cool” to be independent-minded and not to follow the crowd.

B. “Cool” was used as early as the 15th century.

C. Disobeying one’s parents and the authorities is considered “cool” among American young people nowadays.

D. Getting the first place in an exam can also be considered “cool”.

4.What does the article mainly talk about?

A. The origin of the word “cool”.

B. The kinds of people who are “cool”.

C. The changing meaning of the word “cool”.

D. How to be a “ cool” person.

We had a discussion on “overnight-fame” last week. Nowadays, many people were crazy about instant fame and wealthy. To be honest, it is not bad be famous or have a lot of money, but I don’t agree with the view which people rise to fame overnight. We all know “easy come, easy go”. Let’s take Li An as the example. Only after his hard work did he become successful. Or we can list more similar cases if need. What I do believe is that the process in which we try our best. It is we have experienced along the way to success that we treasure and enjoy mostly.

Remembering names is an important social skill. Here are some ways to master it.

Recite and repeat in conversation.

When you hear a person’s name, repeat it. Immediately say it to yourself several times without moving your lips. You could also repeat the name in a way that does not sound forced or artificial.

Ask the other person to recite and repeat.

You can let other people help you remember their names. After you’ve been introduced to someone, ask that person to spell the name mad pronounce it correctly for you. Most people will be pleased by the effort you’re making to learn their names.

Admit you don’t know.

Admitting that you can’t remember someone’s name can actually make people relaxed. Most of them will feel sympathy if you say. “I’m working to remember names better. Yours is right on the tip of my tongue. What is it again?”

Use associations.

Link each person yon meet with one thing you find interesting or unusual. For example,you could make a mental note: “Vicki Cheng—tall, black hair. ” To reinforce your associations, write them on a small card as soon as possible.

Limit the number of new names you learn at one time.

When meeting a group of people, concentrate on remembering just two or three names. Free yourself from remembering every one. Few of the people in mass introductions expect you to remember their names. Another way is to limit yourself to learning just first names. Last names can come later.

Go early.

Consider going early to conferences, parties and classes. Sometimes just a few people show upon time. That’s fewer names for you to remember. And as more people arrive, you can hear them being introduced to others—an automatic review for you.

1.How will most people feel when you try hard to remember their names?

A. They will be moved. B. They will be annoyed.

C. They will be delighted. D. They will be discouraged.

2. If you can’t remember someone’s name, you may ________.

A. tell him the truth B. tell him a white lie

C. ask him for pity D. ask others to help you

3.When you meet a group of people, it is better to remember ________.

A. all their names B. a couple of names first

C. just their last names D. as many names as possible

4.What does the text mainly tell us?

A. Tips on an important social skill.

B. Importance of attending parties.

C. How to make use of associations.

D. How to recite and repeat names.
