Personal Shoppers
I was shopping with Thomas, who has been working as a personal shopper for the past five years. “Personal shoppers are in great demand these days,” he told me as we were walking past designer clothes shops.【1】 He said that there were many people who wanted to be fashionable, but they didn’t know where to start. They needed a professional to advise them.
But why? I always call my best friend to help me find the perfect dress, not a stranger!
“ 【2】The first thing I do is help my customer improve their image. I teach them to choose colours and clothes that suit them, and how to use make up,” Thomas told me. “Then I organize the customer’s wardrobe.【3】 The third service has to do with actual shopping: the personal shopper and the customer visit shops and buy clothes according to the customer’s personality, lifestyle and needs.”
Of course, each of the above services costs between 150 and 225 euros! 【4】 “Most of my customers are rich business people who call me for important meetings or business parties,” explained Thomas. “However, I also work for people in all kinds of jobs and for retired men and women who want a change of look.”
We spent the rest of the day shopping. Every time we came out of a shop, we had one more bag. In the end, I went home with a beautiful dress, two pairs of trousers, some lovely tops and a couple of coats. I’d never had a shopping day like this/span> before! I admit that I’d spent more than I usually do, but I wouldn’t have found such beautiful clothes without Thomas. 【5】
A．I can help in three different ways．
B．I asked him why this had happened．
C．It depends on the customer's preferences．
D．I might even throw away some old clothes．
E．I just wish personal shoppers were a bit cheaper!
F．People need help with choosing the right clothes．
G．I just wonder how many people have this kind of money to spend．
【答案】
【1】B
【2】A
【3】D
【4】G
【5】E
【解析】
【1】根据下文朋友说很多想变时尚的人需要私人导购，这里应该是作者询问很多人需要私人导购的原因（“I asked him why this had happened．”）。
【2】根据下文朋友讲他的三个任务，这里应该是他说它能够在三方面发挥作用（“I can help in three different ways．”）。
【3】根据上文朋友讲他整理客户的衣橱，这里应该是他说可能扔掉一些旧衣物（“I might even throw away some old clothes．”）。
【4】根据上文每项服务费在150到250欧元之间，下文朋友介绍大多数客户都是富有的商业人士。
这里应该是作者想知道多少人有这么多钱去花（“I just wonder how many people have this kind of money to spend．”）。
【5】根据上文，作者花了比平常更多的钱，但她很高兴朋友能带她找到如此漂亮的衣服。这里应该是作者但愿私人导购更便宜一点（“I just wish personal shoppers were a bit cheaper!”）。

【题目】“Chances are we have all experienced shyness in our lives, and shyness has been associated with negative outcomes—characteristics like difficulty maintaining eye contact, and feelings of humiliation(丢脸) are known to be part of a shy person’s characters. It’s these traits that tend to affect some shy individuals’ ability to connect,” says C. Barr Taylor, a professor of psychology at Stanford University.
“But while shyness can often be seen as a bad thing, there are ways to use the personality trait to your advantage,” Taylor says. Below are some common shy habits and how you can learn to make them benefit you:
Shy people usually reflect inwardly (在内心) a lot. But according to Taylor,all that thinking may not always be a bad thing and it should be viewed as a way you can think actively as you go into a situation. So, for shy people who feel worried about facing a particular challenge or event, Taylor advises slowly approaching the fearful situation if you start to feel anxious. By facing what you are not feeling secure about, Taylor says, you will feel less anxious. “Our brains are amazing—they can become well adapted,” he says. “If you put yourself in a fearful situation, you will get a sense that you are going to do it.” What’s more, shy individuals care deeply about what others think of them, and if it is addressed healthily, they can use it to their advantage to form social connections.
Shy people are observant and often pick up on parts of their conversation or surroundings that others may not. “Just because you are shy, that does not mean you are not used to social situations,” Taylor says. “It can actually become a source of strength as you are the observer in the room.” In a study out of Southern Illinois University at Carbondale, researchers found an association between college-age adults who were shy and the ability to better identify expressions of sadness and fear compared with those who weren’t shy. In addition, a shy person has a born drive to absorb a conversation, so they can be great at conversation.
【1】In the opinion of C. Barr Taylor, we should .
A.think positively of shyness
B.try to get rid of shyness
C.attempt to be a little shy
D.often help those shy people
【2】The passage mentions the study by Southern Illinois University just to show that .
A.shy people use rich facial expressions
B.shy people are good at observing others
C.shyness can be used to reduce anxiety
D.shyness can be used in social connections
【3】We can know from the passage that shy people .
A.are good at getting used to a new environment
B.often attach much importance to others’ opinions
C.hate to think a lot before taking an action
D.are good at overcoming their feeling of insecurity

It is fine day today and I will never forget this special day. I was chosen to be a member of the football team and send to take part in the school football match. I was excited, but believed I would score most. But in the first round I hurt my leg and couldn’t but to give up. I felt very sad. My best friend Tom comes up to me and said, “You are great! You still played for a few minute even after your leg hurt. You are a true winner.” I couldn’t believe my ears. For me the one scoring the most is the winner. But Tom said, “The one which tries his best is the really winner.” Deeply impressing by his words, I want to say “thank you” to him.

We middle school students have had many exams. We have both achieved success and suffered by failure. Different students take different attitudes towards failure.
Some fall in low spirits when they don’t do well in exams. They usually lost heart and no longer study as harder as before. And most students take an active attitude. They encourage them to be self-confident. They find out the causes that they will no longer make up similar mistakes.
As is know to all, failure is the mother of success. Even some great man may have failed many times before they succeed. So we must deal with failure correct.

House Sitting
In many countries of the world people do what is called house sitting．It means that if owners of the house are going away, they want someone to come into their home and look after the house and maybe pets while they are away．
In Australia, many people travel．After people retire, they might buy a van and travel all over the country．【1】
So if someone wants to travel or go away for some reason, they might want someone in their home to care for it and keep the gardens tidy．House sitters might have to care for pets．Also, quite a few people have swimming pools in their back yard and they need cleaning．【2】 I feel it is a great way of seeing the country, because you go and stay in a new city, get to meet new people, and have time to go sightseeing in a new area．
【3】 There are websites where you find the advertisements by people who want to travel, and by replying to the advertisement, you can make arrangements to go and look after their home.
There are some requirements to be a house sitter．You must be a trusted person, so that the home owner knows you will not steal anything．You must be able to go when the house owner wants you to go, so you need lots of free time．【4】You need to be good with pets, able to care for cats and dogs, or other pets they may have.
Some house sitting jobs are just for a few days or a couple of weeks while the house owner have a short holiday．Sometimes it is for much longer．We have had one house sit for six months, while the home owner travelled to Europe.
【5】 Then you can travel to many different countries and stay there．One of the important things to get are references from the home owners where you have stayed．A reference is a written letter to say that you are trustworthy and have looked after their home well．You can show these letters to prospective house sitting jobs and they know you will do a good job.
A．I have done house sitting many times.
B．Thousands of people do this all the time.
C．It is also possible to do house sitting in other countries.
D．Generally you have many opportunities to get a house sitting job.
