阅读下列短文,选出最佳选项。

When I was about ten years old, I was walking down the street with my mother. She stopped to speak to Mr. Lee. I knew I could see Mr. Lee any time around the neighborhood, so I didn’t pay any attention to him. After we passed Mr. Lee, my mother stopped me and said something that has stuck with me from that day until now. She said seriously, “You let that be the last time you’ve ever walked by somebody and not opened up your mouth to speak, because even a dog will wag its tail when it passes you on the street.” Mother’s words sound simple, but it’s been a guidepost for me and the foundation of who I am.

It’s not just something I believe in; it’s a way of life. I believe that every person deserves to feel someone acknowledge their presence, no matter how humble (卑微) they may be.

At work, I always said hello to the founder of the company and ask him how our business was doing. But I also spoke to the people who cleaned the buildings and asked how their children were doing. After a few years of greeting the founder, I had the courage to ask him for a meeting. We had a great talk. At a certain point I asked him how far he thought I could go in his company. He said, “If you want to, you can get all the way to this seat.”

I’ve become vice president, but it hasn’t changed the way I approach people. I still follow my mother’s advice. I speak to everyone I see, no matter where I am. I’ve learned that speaking to people creates a pathway into their world, and it allows them to come into mine, too.

1.What did the author do when he met Mr. Lee?

A. He talked with somebody else.

B. He was attracted by a dog.

C. He greeted him politely.

D. He ignored him.

2.What kind of person is the author’s mother?

A. Optimistic. B. Kind-hearted.

C. Strict. D. Open-minded.

3.How did the company founder reply to the author?

A. He inspired him. B. He played a joke.

C. He invited him to coffee. D. He gave him the seat.

4.What does the author think of saying hello to people?

A. It’s a way to show sympathy to people.

B. It can build connections with others.

C. It’s a must to become a president.

D. It can bring him what he wants.

Do you like going to a theater to watch live performances? If you do, I’m not alone.

Live performances at theaters interest different groups of people from rich people to office workers. If you go to any theater and look at its audience, you will find it is made up of teenagers, the elderly and anyone in between. One part of it is due to the marketing and the show itself. For example, Hair isn’t going to interest the same audience as My Fair Lady. Another part of it is due to the area in which you live. The Palace Theater in Manchester, for example, interests a more urban (城市的)crowd than the Leddy Center in Epping. All of these people have an interest in the magic of live performances and they go to the theater for different reasons.

There is nothing better than live theatre performances to increase your cultural awareness (意识) When you go to see a live theater performance, no matter whether it is a musical or a play, you are improving your knowledge of the world around you. Some people go to the theater to have fun and escape their troubles; others, particularly rich people, go to the theater to develop their knowledge of the world around them. Both of them are very good reasons for going to see live theater performances. However, personally, I often go to the theater more to have fun than anything else.

Everyone has the right to enjoy any performance, whether it’s a world-famous performance by the New Hampshire Ballet or a second-rate performance by your local community theater. The main thing to remember is whether you are there to heighten your awareness of the culture or to get away from your problems. You should appreciate the performance for what it is, because too many people these days don’t know enough about the arts.

1.What does the author mean by saying she is not alone?

A. She no longer feels lonely.

B. She loves watching popular performances.

C. She often visits a theater with a friend.

D. She likes going to the theater.

2.The example of Hair and My Fair Lady shows that______.

A. many shows have a lot in common

B. some shows are better than others

C. not all shows are attractive to the audience

D. different shows interest different people

3.According to the author, going to the theater is helpful because of the following reasons EXCEPT______.

A. improving the ability to read others’ feelings

B. being a way of learning something

C. being a way of entertainment

D. improving people’s understanding of their own or other cultures

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

A tender woman, or an independent one, which one would you prefer? A recent research shows that most people would choose the latter.

This type of woman is called a nühanzi (“tough woman”). Experts believe these characteristics have social and psychological roots among young females in China. Su Hao’s friends all call her a tough woman, because she can finish tough tasks usually carried out by men. For example, she carries 10-litre water to her dormitory on the 5th floor. “I depend on no one but myself,” she says.

According to a recent survey by China Youth Daily, tough women have become rather common in society. Of the 21,265 respondents, 78.5 percent said they are familiar with a tough woman. About 50 percent said they like women with tough characteristics, while less than 29 percent expressed the opposite view.

Why are tough women gaining popularity? Shen Meng, a psychological consultant, believes the fierce competition in society is contributing to this trend. “Women are often in a disadvantaged position compared to men,” Shen says. “In order to survive, they have to be independent, strong and tough.” Liu Xiaolin, professor of psychology at Wuhan Mental Health Center, believes tough women are brought up this way. They are often on close relationship with their fathers, who teach their daughters to be brave and decisive,” he says. As a result, these women are more likely to be psychologically healthy and more tolerant to stress, according to Liu.

Though Liu believes that this is a good trend, Hu Shenzhi, a psychologist at the Guangdong Sunflower Counseling Center, says the popularity of tough woman indicates an unclear line between gender identities, which can lead to relationship problems. “Some women with characteristics that differ from the traditional female image may have a difficult time finding Mr Right,” he says. “Even if they get married, their manly characteristics might cause family conflicts.

1.Which of the followings doesn’t belong to the characteristics of a tough woman?

A. She is independent of others in daily life.

B. She can solve problems usually for men.

C. She is more tolerant to stress.

D. She is soft and tender to others.

2.How many respondents like tough women?

A. about 21,265. B. about 16,700

C. about 10,600. D. about 6,200

3.Why are there more tough women nowadays?

A. Because tough women are more lovely.

B. Because of the fierce competition in society.

C. Because girls often love fathers more.

D. Because more women want to be independent.

4.What problems may tough women have in their life?

A. They may have difficulty with marriage.

B. They often suffer gender confusion.

C. It’s difficult for them to be friends.

D. They have different characteristics from traditional female images.

Given the fact that my mom had driven me twelve miles there, twelve miles back, _______for my lesson, and bought me a candy bar, you’d think I’d be very _______to help her bring the groceries into the house. _______I wasn’t. I generally just brought in an armload and left the _______ for Mom as I ran to my room, shut the door, and started studying.

At age fifteen, I sensed that this one small _______ would mark something much bigger: my personal change from a cared-for, spoiled (被宠坏的) child to a more _______, caring and giving young man.

I’ll never forget the Wednesday when I made a(n) _______ to jump in and see what happened. Returning home from the _______, I disappeared into my room, as usual.

Surely, over time, I continued to help out with more housework. The neat thing was, the more I helped out, the_______ I felt about myself and my place in my family.

Five Ways to Build Self-Confidence

Walk Faster.

One of the easiest ways to tell how a person feels about herself is to examine her walk. People with confidence walk quickly. They have places to go, people to see, or important work to do. Even if you aren’t in a hurry, you can increase your self-confidence by putting some energy in your step. 1..

2.One of the best ways to build confidence is listening to an inspiring speech. Unluckily, chances to listen to a great speaker are few. You can fill this need by creating a personal speech. Write a 30~60-second speech that focuses on your strengths and goals then recite it aloud whenever you need a confidence push.

Sit in the Front Row.

In school, offices and some other public places people always sit at the back of the room, 3.This is for lack of self-confidence. By deciding to sit in the front row, you can get over this meaningless fear and build your self-confidence.

Speak up.

During group discussions many people never express their opinions because they’re afraid that people will judge them for their saying something stupid. 4.By making an effort to express your opinions at least once in every group discussion, you’ll become a better public speaker, more confident in your own thoughts.

Work out

Along the same lines as personal appearance, physical fitness has huge effect on self-confidence. 5.By making your body fit and strong, you improve your physical appearance, refresh yourself, and learn something positive. (255words)

A. In fact most people are dealing with the same fear.

B. Walking 25% faster will make you look and feel more important.

C. In fact most people feel good after a walk.

D. If you’re out of shape, you’ll feel unattractive and less energetic.

E. Listen to an Inspiring Speech.

F. Create a Personal Speech.

G. Most people prefer that because they’re afraid of being noticed.
