    3．An Invisible Smile
    Mr．Dawson was an old grouch，and everyone in town knew it．Kids knew not to go into his yard to pick a delicious apple．Old Dawson，they said，would come after you with his gun．
    One Friday，12-year-old Janet was going to stay all night with her friend Amy．They had to walk by Dawson's house on the way to Amy's house，but as they got close，Janet saw him sitting on his front porch and suggested they cross over to the other side of the street．Like most of the children，Janet was scared of the old man．
    Amy said not to worry．Mr．Dawson wouldn't hurt anyone．Still，Janet was growing more nervous with each step closer to the old man's house．When they got close enough，Dawson looked up with his usual frown （皱眉），but when he saw it was Amy，a broad smile changed his entire face as he said，"Hello Miss Amy．I see you've got a little friend with you today．"
    Amy smiled back and told him Janet was staying overnight and they were going to listen to music and play games．Mr．Dawson said that sounded fun，and offered them each a fresh picked apple off his tree．They gladly accepted．Mr．Dawson had the best apples in the whole town．
    When they left，Janet asked Amy，"Everyone says he's the meanest man in town．How come he was so nice to us？"
    Amy explained that when she first started walking past his house he wasn't very friendly and she was afraid of him，but she pretended he was wearing an invisible smile and so she always smiled back at him．It took a while，but one day he half-smiled back at her．
    After some more time，he started smiling real smiles and then started talking to her．Just a"hello"at first，then more．She said he always offers her an apple now，and is always very kind．
    "An invisible smile？"questioned Janet．
    "Yes，"answered Amy，"my grandma told me that if I pretended I wasn't afraid and pretended he was smiling an invisible smile at me and I smiled back at him，sooner or later he would really smile．Grandma says smiles are contagious．"
    If we remember what Amy's grandma said，that everyone wears an invisible smile，we too will find that We're always on the go trying to accomplish so much，aren't we？It's so easy to get caught up in
    everyday life that we forget how simple it can be to bring cheer to ourselves and others． Giving a smile away takes so little effort and time，let's make sure that we're not the one that others have to pretend to be wearing an invisible smile．

    66．Kids were scared of Mr．Dawson becauseA．
    A．he was always very cold           B．he would fire them with a gun
    C．he was mean with his apples       D．he was wearing an invisible smile
    67．When Amy and Janet were getting closer to Mr．Dawson's house，heC．
    A．grew nervous．                        B．laughed happily
    C．frowned as usual                      D．stopped smiling
    68．We can infer from the passage thatB．
    A．Janet was so lovely a girl that Mr．Dawson couldn't resist her smiles
    B．it was Grandma's advice that helped bring Amy and Mr．Dawson closer
    C．Mr．Dawson was friendly to Amy because she always wore an invisible smile
    D．Janet and Amy were going to invite Mr．Dawson to listen to music and play games
    69．The underlined word"contagious"in Paragraph 9meansB．
    A．meaningful     B．infectious     C．moving        D．supportive
    70．What is the main message that the writer intends to send us readers？A
    A．Smile whenever we can．
    B．Always wear an invisible smile．
    C．Try our best to transform others．
    D．Pretend that we are happy even if we are not．

    分析 Mr Dawson通常是很冷谈的，孩子们很害怕他，但是Amy和他的关系很好，这是因为Amy听了奶奶的话，认为他有着看不见的笑容，Amy会向他微笑，慢慢的Mr Dawson真的开始微笑了，他们的关系也越来越好了．

    解答 66：A推理判断题．由文章中的"Old Dawson，they said，would come after you with his gun．"及"Everyone says he's the meanest man in town．How come he was so nice to us？"可知，道森先生会拿枪追着你跑，被说成是镇上最吝啬的人，孩子们都怕他，这些都表明他是一个冷酷的人，故选A．
    67：C细节理解题．由第三段中的"When they got close enough，Dawson looked up with his usual frown （皱眉）"当他们足够近时，道森抬头与他皱眉可知，答案为C．
    68：B细节理解题．由文章倒数第二段Amy的话可知，是她奶奶的建议让她和道森先生互相微笑，走得更近，故选B．
    69：B词义猜测题．前面讲的是Amy听奶奶的话，假装对方在微笑，自己向别人微笑，这样微笑就会感染到别人，最后对方也会真的向你微笑，所以说微笑是会感染人的，故contagious与infectious的意思相近，表示"有感染力的"．
    70：A写作意图题．文章通过Amy和道森先生因微笑关系改进的故事，告诉大家，无论何时都要微笑，故选A．文章最后一段也是提示．

    点评 本文是一个人文故事类阅读理解，题目涉及多道细节理解题，做题时结合原文和题目有针对性的找出相关语句进行仔细分析，结合选项选出正确答案．推理判断题也是要在抓住关键句子的基础上合理的分析才能得出正确答案，切忌胡乱猜测，一定要做到有理有据．

    14．When you were a child you had a pure mind which was free from worries and anxieties．However，as time goes by，you're faced with so many problems in life．Below are five techniques that can help you get relaxed．
    1．Mind your own business．
    Yes，please mind your own business．When you start being concerned about things which are not related to you，you lose your control on your thought process，which often has negative results disturbing the mental peace．Basically，your mind starts wandering here and there．So next time an unnecessary thought comes to your mind，think whether this is really something you should be worrying for？If not，keep it away and focus on something positive，practical and fruitful．
    2．Surround yourself with positive people．
    Overlook negative comments and stay away from negative souls．When someone is negative，he spreads negativity and you get affected．Staying with such people will have long term influence on your character so think about your company．
    3．Don't think about others too much．
    Remember：Small minds discuss people； Average minds discuss events； Higher minds discuss ideas and Great minds act in silence．Don't allow your brain to compare yourself to others as this is an insult （侮辱） to yourself．Don't be jealous； it's a heart killing disease，get rid of it as soon as possible．When you are jealous you focus on finding faults in others even if they don't have．This poisons your soul and steals the mental peace．
    4．You can't keep everyone happy．
    Don't be oversensitive （过于敏感的）．Be natural in what you do．Be positive and constructive in your deeds and then don't really care too much about others．Be aware，don't apply this to too closed relations．Develop trust to build up powerful relationships．
    5．Don't believe yourself to be unlucky．
    Remember this：Bad luck happens to everyone．It's not your fault at all．Time，whether good or bad，passes quickly．Develop the power of not looking back into your past．Believe in the power of Now．Believe in your skills．Work hard and you will get what you have been entitled for．Be patient and see what has been planned for you．
    With these recommendations，I believe if you can make it，it's probable that you can bring changes in your lifestyle and get back your mental peace．
    67．This passage is written for those who want toD．
    A．seek learning skills
    B．find positive people as friends
    C．make their mind pure
    D．get mentally peaceful and relaxed
    68．The underlined word"Overlook"can be replaced byA．
    A．Ignore  B．PassC．Master D．Support
    69．The underlined sentence meansA．
    A．People with different minds do different things
    B．people should discuss different aspects of life
    C．people should never compare themselves with others
    D．people should never be jealous，or they'll be poisoned
    70．Which of the following should NOT be done according to the five techniques？B
    A．Stay with positive people．
    B．Care about the business of strangers．
    C．Be sincere with others and never care too much about them．
    D．Believe in the magic power of what the present can bring you．

    15．Have you ever suddenly felt that someone you knew was in trouble-and was he？Have you ever dreamed something that came true later？Maybe you have ESP（特异功能）．ESP stands for Extrasensory Perception．It may be called a sixth sense．It seems to let people know about events before they happen，or events that are happening some distance away．
    Here's an example．A woman was ironing clothes．Suddenly she screamed，"My father is dead!I saw him sitting in the chair!"Just then，a telegram came．The woman's father died of a heart attack．He died sitting in a chair．
    There are thousands of stories like this one on record．Scientists are studying them to find out what's behind these strange mental messages．Here's another example-one of hundreds of dreams that have come true．
    A man dreamed he was walking along a road when a horse and carriage came by．The driver said，"There's room for one more．"The man felt the driver seemed dead，so he ran away．The next day，when the man was getting on a crowded bus，the bus driver said．"There's room for one more．"
    Then the man saw that the driver's face was the same face he had seen in the dream．He wouldn't get on the bus．As the bus drove off，it crashed and burst into flames．Everyone was killed!
    Some people say stories like these are coincidences．Others，including some scientists，say that ESP is real．From studies of ESP，we may someday learn more about the human mind．
    59．According to the passage，the author believes that the sixth sense isA．
    A．possible    B．imaginativeC．not real    D．impossible
    60．By studying ESP，scientists may get toC．
    A．learn how people tell lies     
    B．know more about human dreams
    C．know more about human mind     
    D．learn how strange things happen
    61．In the last paragraph the underlined word"coincidences"probably means"B"．
    A．things that may not happen     
    B．things that happen by accident
    C．things that must happen     
    D．things that happen in a dream
    62．This article is mainly aboutD．
    A．the human dream     
    B．a crowded bus
    C．the human mind     
    D．the sixth sense．

    13．Public Speaking Training
    •Get a coach
    （46）E，so get help．Since there are about a billion companies out there all ready to offer you public speaking training and courses，here are some things to look for when deciding the training that's right for you．
    •Focus on positives
    Any training you do to become more effective at public speaking should always focus on the positive aspects of what you already do well．Nothing can hurt confidence more than being told that you aren't doing well．（47）B，so good public speaking training should develop those instead of telling you what you shouldn't do．
    •（48）C
    If you find a public speaking course that looks as though it's going to give you lots of dos and don'ts，walk away!Your brain is so full of what you're going to be talking about．
    （49）G．As far as we're concerned，there are basically no hard and fast rules about public speaking．Your audience can be your friends．
    •You are a special person not a clone
    Most importantly，good public speaking training should treat you as a special one，with your own personal habits．（50）A．Your training course should help you bring out your personality，not try to turn you into someone you're not．
    A．You aren't like anybody else
    B．You already do lots of things well
    C．Turn your back on too many rules
    D．Check the rules about dos and don'ts
    E．Whatever the presentation，public speaking is tough
    F．The one thing you don't want is for them to fall asleep
    G．So trying to force a whole set of rules into it will just make things worse．
