Podcasts (播客)
The B. S. Report
Designed for the sports fan with a sense of humor, the B. S. Report is located by the sportswriter Bill Simmons. It's not uncommon for him to go almost a whole show without even mentioning sports.
Wait, Wait… Don't Tell Me
The show is a news program in the form of a game show. Each week a group of humorists and writers join host Peter Sagal in Chicago, where they are quizzed on the week's most important and funny news stories. Listeners also get to call in to play different news related games for a prize.
The Moth
The Moth is a weekly podcast run by a nonprofit art organization. The show is made up of recordings of “true story told before a live audience without notes”. Each week, the group releases short 10-20 minute tales told by people from all walks of life. Past presenters have included writers, comedians, scientists and even New York City police officers.
Filmspotting
Filmspotting is a weekly podcast and is a must-listen for any movie fan. The show is focused on movie reviews, but hosts Adam Kempenaar and Matty Robinson do more than just tell their listeners which new movie is worth seeing, they also discuss and examine the film as an art form. The show doesn't focus on current movies, either, as the hosts frequently discuss old films as part theme marathons.

A.The B S Report

【题目】语法填空
Our ancestors（祖先）made the old saying that friends(be) like wine-the older,the better.Because of that, many people think old friends to be(important) than new ones.For example,if two pieces of advice are given to solve a problem,one from a new friend and the other from an old friend,people always prefer to choose the latter one,the new friend's advice may be better.
(disagree) with the old saying,I believe that new friends are not(necessary) worse than old friends. Why?Because the(long) of time cannot tell whether your friendship is better or not.
Once you call someone friend,he must be a person who is(rely) and whose interests are in common with(you).Maybe a friend's outside look(change) all the time,but the inside characters of him and his interests won't change at all.It is just these unchangeable characters and interests that make him a friend to you.,there is no difference between old friends and new ones on this point.

【题目】根据短文理解，选择正确答案。
Proudly reading my words, I glanced around the room, only to find my classmates bearing big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes. Confused, I glanced toward my stonefaced teacher. Having no choice, I slowly raised the report I had read carefully, hoping to hide myself. “What could be causing everyone to act this way？”
Quickly, I flashed back to the day Miss Lancelot gave me the task. This was the first real task I received in my new school. It seemed simple: go on the Internet and find information about a man named George Washington. Since my idea of history came from an ancient teacher in my home country, I had never heard of that name before. As I searched the name of this fellow, it became evident that there were two people bearing the same name who looked completely different! One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts, while the other led some sort of army across America. I stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant. I called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice: flip (掷) a coin. Heads—the commander, and tails—the peanuts guy. Ah! Tails，my report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, George Washington Carver.
Weeks later, standing before this unfriendly class, I was totally lost. Oh well, I lowered the paper and sat down at my desk, burning to find out what I had done wrong. As a classmate began his report, it all became clear，“My report is on George Washington, the man who started the American Revolution.” The whole world became quiet! How could I know that she meant that George Washington?
Obviously, my grade was awful. Heartbroken but fearless, I decided to turn this around. I talked to Miss Lancelot, but she insisted: No redos; no new grade. I felt that the punishment was not fair, and I believed I deserved a second chance. Consequently, I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year. Ten months later, that chance unfolded as I found myself sitting in the headmaster's office with my grandfather, now having an entirely different conversation. I smiled and flashed back to the embarrassing moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster informed me of my opinion to skip the sixth grade. Justice is sweet!
（1）What did the author's classmates think about his report?
A.Positive.
B.Ridiculous
C.Boring.
D.Puzzling.
（2）Why was the author confused about the task?
A.He was unfamiliar with American history.
B.He followed the advice and flipped a coin.
C.He forgot his teacher's instructions.
D.He was not familiar with the new school.
（3）The underlined word “burning” in Para. 3 probably means ________.
A.annoyed
B.ashamed
C.ready
D.eager
（4）In the end, the author turned things around ________.
A.by redoing his task
B.through his own efforts
C.with the help of his grandfather
D.under the guidance of his headmaster

【题目】Today, we talk about a common object that appears in many expressions — buttons! Buttons, which are usually small and round and made of metal or plastic, are found on all sorts of clothing. They fasten or connect one piece of clothing to another in order to make sure your clothes don’t fall off.
To be cute as a button is an old saying, which means to be attractive or sweet, but in a small way. Babies are often described as cute as a button. Language experts don’t know why. But they do say this expression dates back to the late 1860s.
Here is another expression related to button: button-down. People often wear button-down shirts to the office. Button-down as an adjective means to be conservative or traditional. People described as button-down stay as close as possible to the normal way of dressing and behaving.
When buttoning a button you slip it into a buttonhole. A buttonhole traps the button. So, to buttonhole someone means you have trapped them in a spoken conversation. Now, let’s say you find yourself buttonholed in a conversation at a party. Someone just keeps talking and talking and talking! Finally, you can’t take it any longer. You tell the person to button it! This is a direct, but unacceptable way of saying “Stop talking!” Button your lip is another equally rude but effective way to stop a person who talks too much.
Another kind of difficult person is someone who pushes one’s buttons. To push one’s buttons means to know exactly how to get that person angry or upset. People who like to push other people’s buttons usually do it for selfish reasons. They find a person’s weak point and then they use it to upset them.
【1】What do you think of someone who wears a button-down shirt to the office?
A. Funny. B. Traditional.
C. Crazy. D. Fashionable.
【2】What will you probably say to get rid of a long and boring talk?
A. Button your lip. B. Be cute as a button.
C. Push your buttons. D. Be button-down.
【3】How does the fourth paragraph mainly develop?
A. By giving examples. B. By making contrasts.
C. By listing figures. D. By analyzing cause and effect.
【4】What does the underlined phrase “pushes one’s buttons” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A. Learns of one’s secret. B. Shouts loudly.
C. Gets someone to lose his temper. D. Argues with someone.

People who are confident really seem to be naturally outstanding and just seem to do everything with more styles than others. It is a habit that everyone can develop in life. Try these simple tips to drill and build up your confidence:
1）Admit your shortcomings calmly.
Do not try to flee from them or cover them. Face them bravely. Fight against them every day until the day when you could break away and conquer them.
2)Dress for self-confidence.
And therefore pay attention to your dress, display your unique physical advantages and exhibit your best image. In addition, on formal occasions such as a business conference or a wedding ceremony, elegant dressing contributes to building your confidence.
3）
You should break your routine that deals with the work passively. Concentrate your efforts immediately on overcoming it, because it will make your restless mind at ease and build your self-confidence.
4）Be positive.
Feel pity neither on yourself nor on others. If you are used to hating and accusing yourself, others would tend to do that and believe it. Instead, you should speak positively about yourself, your progress, and your bright future. ．

B. Build your confident vocabulary.
C. Don't put off what you eventually have to do.
