        Show Your Bones is the newest album from a musical group with an unusual name, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. The energetic music made by these rock musicians is becoming very popular in America.

        A singer, a guitar player and a drummer make up the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Their rock sound is creative, unusual, and full of personality. Their music is considered an example of “indie”(short for independent) rock. Indie musicians like to protect their independence and artistic freedom. One way to do this is to avoid using major record companies. The lead singer Karen O is known for wearing wild clothing and having wild hairstyles while performing. Sometimes she even pours beer over herself and the audience. Imagine Karen O dancing around on stage as you listen to her sing the song, Phenomena.

        The words in the songs on Show Your Bones are poetic and also a little strange. It is not always clear what the songs mean. In the song called The Sweets, Karen O describes colors and the motion of water. Also, she wonders about meeting someone again.

    The Yeah Yeah Yeahs started playing music together in New York City.

    Now Karen O has moved to Los Angeles, California. She says that she likes flying between the two cities and the band is now “bi-coastal”. Karen O also said that this album was the most difficult to make. The band was trying to find a different sound from their earlier albums. Their work seems to have been worth the effort. Critics say Show Your Bones might be one of the best albums of the year.

    We know the westerners like to plan for their time carefully in order to do all the things that are important to them. So if your American or English friend asks you to dinner, he usually invites you a week ahead. But if you really have no time and can’t go to the dinner, you can ring him to say sorry. The dinner is usually served at home, sometimes at a restaurant. You should get there on time, and don’t forget to put on your fine clothes. It is also a good idea to take some little presents to your friend, such as flowers, chocolates and so on. When you are at dinner, you should also observe (遵守) some other customs.

    ●Don’t use your bowl to drink soup, but use your spoon to help you instead.
    ●Don’t talk with much food in your mouth.
    ●Don’t ask others to have more wine. (This is quite different from that in China.)
    ●After dinner, use your napkin(餐巾) to clean your mouth and hands.
    ●Make sure small pieces of food are not left on your face.
    Then after dinner, you can stay there a little time. And your friend will be pleased if you leave in half an hour or so. Next day, you had better ring him up to thank him for the good dinner.

    Mom and Dad are two of the most important people in your life. You probably see at least one of them every day. If your dad worships(崇拜) the Pittsburgh Stealers, you are likely to grow up being a big fun of that football team. And if your mom loves to read you just might grow up carrying everywhere you go, just like she does.
    Here are four ways you can stay close and build a strong relationship with your parents.
    1. Spent time together. How much time do you spend just enjoying each other’s company? Instead of playing a computer game or watching TV, maybe you can ask your mom and dad to play with you. Go outside together, try a board game, or read a book out.
    2. Share your feelings and ask for help. Your mom or dad may not know that you are having a problem. Tell a parent if you are sad or struggling with something.
    3. Show your care. Some families are always kissing, hugging, and saying “I love you”. It’s important to show that you care for each other. In addition to kisses and hugs, kids and parents show their love by respecting each other, being caring, polite, and thoughtful.
    4. Whatever you do, do your best! You don’t have to be perfect, but when you do your best, you make your parents proud. It makes them happy to see how you are turning into such a great kid. Why? Because it lets them know they’re doing a good job.
    【小题1】The first paragraph mainly tells us___________.   

    A．the Pittsburgh Stealers is a famous football team
    B．the kid will like reading if his or her mother likes
    C．parents influence(影响) their kids greatly.
    D．we should follow our parents’ hobbies.
    【小题2】In the third paragraph, the author suggests that ____________.  
    A．you keep your parents company all the time
    B．you stay at home with your parents
    C．you do something together with your parents.
    D．you enjoy games when your parents watch TV
    【小题3】The underlined part “they’re doing a good job” means_____________. 
    A．they have very good jobs
    B．their jobs can bring the family much money
    C．they make you become a great kid
    D．they make you find a good job.
    【小题4】The text intends to（旨在）tell us______________.

    要想成为最有吸引力的人，要注意生活中一些简单的细节。阅读下面六个有关如何成为最有吸引力的人的方法的描写，选出符合题中五个标题的选项，并在答题卡上将相应的选项的标号涂黑。选项中有一项多余选项。
    _____1 Ask lots of questions
    _____ 2. Great posture
    _____ 3. Stay busy
    _____ 4. Show your pearly whites ( or just smile)
    _____5. Be interested in other persons

    A．Don’t talk about yourself … remove attention from yourself. If you are interested in other persons, it will be helpful. And if you want to talk about yourself, you'll find that putting the other person first actually opens him up to return the favor and ask you questions. See how fun this is?
    B．In other words, be humble. If you are a know-it-all (even if you really do know it all!), it really pushes people away. Rather, asking lots and lots of questions makes people feel like you care, you can be trusted, and you are... humble.
    C．Walk like you know where you're going, and do so with good posture. Walk like you'll run over anyone who even attempts to hassle you. If you walk like this, you'll be spotted from a mile away.
    D．Smile more, no matter how ugly your teeth are. I'm not kidding about this one. It's not all about the teeth. If you are smiling genuinely, you can draw everyone for 100 meters around to you.
    E. Perhaps you have seen someone who perhaps could be quite ugly but they have great posture and so suddenly they are really attractive? It's true. Your posture says a lot about you -- it says whether you have confidence, or simply if you really care. Talking physically, it is one of the most important physical characteristics you need !
    F. Do you really know the power of this? We're told to stay busy to break away from  depression and feelings of anxiety. But did you know you should also stay busy to be really attractive? It's true. Always have something to do. Have you ever seen someone just sitting around, doing nothing? How unattractive. Always be busy with something, even if for some reason you have to make something up.
