How to Be Interesting
Everybody tries hard to be interesting and well-liked in his or her life. If you feel like you are boring or dull, don't fret (苦恼)! 1. Read this article to learn how.
2. The more you know about what is going on in the world, the more you can contribute to conversations. Interesting people are the ones who can bring something new to a conversation and share fun facts rather than just sitting there nodding. The more you learn, the better conversationalist you will become. So keep yourself educated by reading books and staying up-to-date with current events in the news and pop culture.
Create more stories to share. Interesting people always seem to have a lot going on in their lives. 3. . The best way to accumulate interesting stories is by travelling, constantly meeting new people, and putting yourself in new and interesting situations.
4. . Expand（扩展） your social circle by starting conversations with anyone and everyone. You never know when a stranger can turn into one of your new best friends! Give everybody you meet a chance to show you who they are, and welcome them into your life.
Be yourself. Remember that even though you may feel uninteresting, you are one-of-a-kind. Don't try to get attention by pretending to be somebody you are not, because eventually the truth will come out and you will seem like a dishonest person. 5. .Instead, learn to highlight (强调)your positive qualities and downplay（轻视）your negative ones.
A. The more you do，the more stories you will have to share with others.
B. Everyone has the potential to be interesting, regardless of how unexciting your life may seem.
C. Get to know new people.
D. Be busy with what you do.
E. Be educated.
F. Accept yourself.
G. Don’t hide who you are.

With the encouragement from my friends, I am writing this story. My name is Mildred Hondorf. I am a former elementary school music teacher from DeMoines, Iowa.

Although I have taught some ________ students, I’ve also had my share of what I call “musically challenged” pupils. One such student is Robby.
Robby was 11 years old when his mother (a single mom) took him for his ________ piano lesson. I ________ that students (especially boys) begin at an earlier age, which I ________ to Robby. But Robby said that it had always been his mother's dream to hear him play the piano. So I took him as a ________.
________ Robby tried very hard, he didn't have the basic sense of music. However, he continued and at the end of each weekly lesson he would always say, "My mom's going to hear me play some day.” But it seemed ________. I only knew his mother from a distance as she dropped Robby off or waited in her old car to ________ him up. She always waved and smiled but ________ stopped in.
Then one day Robby stopped coming to our lessons. He ________ me and said his mother was sick. I also was glad that he stopped coming. He was a bad ________ for my teaching!
Several weeks later I was ________ my students for the music show when Robby came and asked me if he could be in it. "Miss Hondorf.….I've just got to ________" he said. I don’t know what led me to ________ him to play in the show. Maybe it was his persistence or maybe it was something inside of me saying that it would be all right. The night for the show came. The high school gym was packed with parents, friends and relations. The show went off well. Then Robby came up on stage. I was ________ when he announced that he had chosen one of the most difficult pieces of Mozart. I was not prepared for what I heard next. His ________ were light on the keys. They even danced on the keys... He played so well that everyone was on their feet ________ excitedly.
In tears I ran up on stage, "Oh, Robby! ________ would you do it?" "Well Miss Hondorf... I kept on practising at home. Remember I told you my mom was sick?

A friend of mine named Paul received an expensive car from his brother as a Christmas present．On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office, a street urchin （顽童） was walking around the shining car．“Is this your car, Paul?” he asked.
Paul answered, “Yes, my brother gave it to me for Christmas.” The boy was surprised．“You mean your brother gave it to you and it cost you nothing? Boy, I wish…” He hesitated.
Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for．He wished he had a brother like that．But what the boy said surprised Paul greatly.
“I wish,” the boy went on, “that I could be a brother like that.” Paul looked at the boy in surprise, and then he said again, “Would you like to take a ride in my car?” “Oh yes, I’d love that.”

“There she is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs．His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn’t cost him a cent．And some day I’m going to give you one just like it... Then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Christmas window that I’ve been trying to tell you about.”

Grandparents Answer a Call
As a third generation native of Brownsville, Texas, Mildred Garza never planned to move away. Even when her daughter and son asked her to move to San Antonio to help with their children, she politely refused. Only after a year of friendly discussion did Ms. Garza finally say yes. That was four years ago. Today all three generations regard the move as a success, giving them a closer relationship than they would have had in separate cities.
No statistics(数据) show the number of grandparents like Garza who are moving closer to adult children and grandchildren. Yet there are evidence showing that the trend(趋势) is growing. Even President Obama’s mother-in-law, Marian Robinson, has agreed to leave Chicago and move into the White House to help care for her granddaughters. According to a study by grandparents. com, 83% of the people say Mrs. Robinson’s decision will influence grandparents in the American family. Two-thirds believe more families will follow the example of Obama’s family.
“In the 1960s we were all a little wild and couldn’t wait to get away from home far enough or fast enough to prove we could do it on our own,” says Christine Crosby, publisher of Grand, a magazine for grandparents. “We now realize how important family is and how important it is to be near them, especially when you’re raising children.”
Moving is not for everyone. Almost every grandparent wants to be with his or her grandchildren and is willing to make sacrifices(奉献), but sometimes it is wiser to say no and visit frequently instead. Having your grandchildren far away is hard, especially knowing your adult child is struggling, but giving up the life you know may be harder.
1.Why was Garza’s move a success?
A．It strengthened her family relationship.
B．It improved her living conditions.
C．It offered her chances to make more friends.
D．It helped her know more new places.
2. What was the reaction of the public to Mrs. Robinson’s decision?
A．The majority think it will be a trend.
B．Few people responded sympathetically.
C．83% believed it had a bad influence.
D．17% expressed their support for it.
3. What did Crosby say about people in the 1960s?
A．They were unsure of themselves.
B．They wanted to live far away from their parents.
C．They were eager to raise more children.
D．They had little respect for their grandparents.
4.What does the author suggest the grandparents do in the last paragraph?
A. Sacrifice for their struggling children.
B. Ask their children to pay more visits to them.
C. Make decisions for the most good of their own.
D. Get to know themselves better.

Sharon，Aged 22
The most important thing to keep in mind when going into high school is to be yourself．Besides, I don’t know what your middle school was like, but high school teachers will not care about things such as how much homework you already have in one night．It’s best to just learn to deal with things and manage your time wisely so you can achieve everything you need to.
Frank, Aged 21
I think almost every kid feels both nervous and excited before their first day．You will probably love it．I know I did．You should join some sports or activities that will make your high school experience more enjoyable．Good luck!
Eddie，Aged 20
When I started high school I was really nervous too，especially since I had been homeschooled all through middle school and didn’t really know anyone．I suppose the best advice would be to just relax．The first couple of days can be a little bit hard，but things will become easier before you know it.
David，Aged 19
I’m not going to lie．The first day is kind of frightening(令人恐惧的)．But you’ll get used to it．Don’t be afraid of anyone；upperclassmen will pick on(刁难) you more if you let them know you’re afraid．Just take it easy．Making some friends and staying with them will greatly help you get used to high school quickly．After the first week it’s really not bad at all．Don’t worry.
1.What can we infer (推断) from Sharon about high school?
A．Teachers are quite strict.
