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:

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.

【题目】Even looking back on the revolutionary changes the Internet has brought to our lives,the future of it is still beyond imagination.But what is clear is making the best use of the Internet will be of ever-greater importance to promoting economic development and social progress.

Already Chinese companies that are seizing the opportunities presented by the Internet occupy a place in global industry.The rise of e-commerce(电子商务)is particularly noticeable in China,where it is common for the majority of young people to do shopping online,which not only saves them time,hut also saves them money.

For the vast rural areas,where the majority of poverty-stricken(穷困的)people live,the growing popularity of Internet technology will hopefully help lift people out of poverty.There have been reports about how some rural villagers sell their agricultural products online and some use the Internet to get in touch with their customers,which may make it easier for them to make decisions.Still they only account for 28.6 percent of the total 618 million internet users nationwide.So much can still be done to further popularize the use of the Internet and promote e-commerce in rural areas.

Looking further ahead,the development of the Internet can strengthen the connection among different economies.No one can tell how much potential there is to be unlocked by the effective use of Internet technology to promote the manufacturing industry(制造业)and the service industry.And with government,it is not just time and cost benefits that are the potential fruits of Internet technology,because the Internet will also help promote policy-making and public services.

1What does the underlined word "them" in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A. Chinese companies. B. Online stores.

C. Online shoppers. D. Internet users.

2What does the example of some rural villagers show?

A. The Internet is not common in rural areas.

B. Rural villagers have less access to the Internet.

C. Rural areas have done little to popularize the Internet.

D. The Internet does contribute to economic development.

3What benefit can government get from the use of the Internet?

A. Promoted policy-making.

B. More developed service industry.

C. Increased manufacturing industry.

D. Improved connection among economies.

【题目】根据短文理解,选择正确答案。
Dolphins (海豚) live in a dark underwater world. It's often impossible to see each other or anything else around them, so sound plays an important role in their survival. To communicate with each other, dolphins produce all kinds of sounds.
Only other dolphins understand what the sounds mean. Scientists haven't uncovered their secret communication, except for one kind of whistle. It might last less than a second, but this whistle is a big deal. Why? Because these whistles are actually names of dolphins — and every dolphin has one. Scientists call these sounds a “signature whistle.” When other dolphins hear the whistle, they know which dolphin is calling.
Dolphins often hunt by themselves but still need to stay connected to the group. Since they can't always see each other, dolphins use their signature whistles to check in with other dolphins hundreds of yards away. “In coastal areas, dolphins exchange whistles even when they're a third of a mile apart,” says Greg Campbell, who studies animals. That means dolphins shout out to group members that might be nearly five football fields away.
What's amazing is who names the baby dolphin. Not the mother. Not an auntie dolphin or another group member. Scientists believe the baby dolphin itself comes up with the signature whistle. Like human babies, a baby dolphin plays with sounds throughout its first year. While testing its sound skills, a baby dolphin is doing something amazing. It's creating or figuring out its signature whistle. How or why it chooses its signature whistle is not clear. Studies show that most of the time the signature whistle is nothing like its mother's or group members' whistles.
When the baby dolphin is about a year old, its signature whistle is set. It repeats it often so the other dolphins learn to recognize it.
Deciphering(破译) dolphin names is just the beginning of figuring out what dolphins communicate about. Do they chat about sharks? Discuss the tides? Maybe they even have a name for people. Someday scientists are to decipher the rest of dolphins' communication.
(1)Sound is important for dolphins because of ________.
A.their poor sense of direction
B.their living environment
C.their strong enemies
D.their big groups
(2)The dolphin's signature whistle ________.
A.lasts a long time
B.can travel long distances
C.is especially helpful in hunting
D.can be recognized by other animals
(3)The author writes the text mainly to ________.
A.encourage readers to study dolphins
B.tell readers how dolphins communicate
C.show how lovely and clever dolphins are
D.introduce a special sound made by dolphins
(4)A baby dolphin gets its name ________.
A.soon after it was born
B.according to its size
C.all by itself
D.with the help of its group

【题目】根据短文理解,选择正确答案。
One of Scotland's most active centenarians ( 百岁的人), Lady Morton, drove for nearly 80 years. She loved driving and spent the war years as an ambulance driver for Bangour Hospital. Aged 100 she was still driving around Edinburgh, up to Perthshire and elsewhere — the oldest among all the drivers in Scotland. But she had her first ever accident several days after her 100th birthday — she hit a traffic island (a raised area in the middle of a road where people can wait until it is safe to cross) when she took her new car for a drive in Edinburgh.
Lady Morton, who celebrated her 100th birthday in July, was given a car as a present. She talked about the accident happened that night. “I wasn't going fast, but I hit a traffic island. I couldn't see it, because it had no light, which I think was unbelievable and unreasonable. But I am all right and luckily my car wasn't badly damaged.
Although Lady Morton had the accident, she didn't plan to stop driving.“Some people are just born to drive, and I think I am one of them. I've been a good driver since the first time I got in a car, she said. “I am musical, so I listen to sound of the car to know when to change gear (档位).
Lady Morton bought her first car in 1927. The main change she had noticed since then is the traffic. “It's appalling. However, I don't mind it, because I am experienced, but I feel very sorry for beginners,” she said.
(1)What was special about Lady Morton?
A.She was 100 years old.
B.She had the fewest traffic accidents.
C.She was the oldest driver in Scotland.
D.She had the most years of driving experience.
(2)How did Lady Morton's first accident happen?
A.She had poor eyesight.
B.She was driving too fast.
C.The traffic island was dark.
D.The lights of her car weren't on.
(3)What do Lady Morton's words in Paragraph 3 suggest?
A.She had a deep love for cars.
B.She was quite good at driving.
C.She had a great musical ability.
D.She drove better than any other driver.
(4)What does the underlined word “appalling” in the last paragraph mean?
A.Very good.
B.Fantastic.
C.Not bad.
D.Terrible.
