9.It's going to be a chaotic(混乱的)day.How do I know?It's Monday.OK,joking.But,I do predict that today will be filled with the normal last-minute tasks,fire drills,and unforeseen events.So,how do you keep yourself from being swept away in the stream of chaos?How do you remain calm while others are rushing and panicking?There is a problem…Panic!When things don't go as planned,how do you react?Are you the calm one who works to fix things?Or the one running around like Chicken Little screaming that the sky falling?Getting upset or alarmed can seem like natural reactions to a problem.
Here are a few tips to help you remain calm in the face of the storm:
●Don't Panic   You are better able to find a solution if you aren't panicking.If you can keep your head when others are losing theirs,you will be able to make a clear decision in the chaos.
●There Aren't Many True Emergencies   My time as a Naval Officer taught me about true emergencies.In the military,when there is a problem,people can get hurt or die.This is not usually the case when the office copier or email server goes down.Keep things in perspective.There are very few true emergencies in life.
●Avoid the"Fight or Flight"When you are stressed,your body will want to go into"fight or flight."Your body was designed to keep you safe from danger,but its natural reflexes aren't always the best solution against a project gone away.Keep your emotions in check and ensure that your physical reflexes don't make bad decisions for you.
●Head Into The Problem   While everyone else is running away,true leaders walk into a problem.Sticking your head in the sand only makes things worse.Instead of trying to ignore the situation,get to the heart of the issue as soon as possible.Only then can you address it.
How Will You React?When you find yourself ready to lose it,take a step back.Ask,"Is this truly an emergency?"Keep your head when others are losing theirs.And you'll find that you are that much closer to a solution.

4.Secret Santas
    On Christmas morning,Linda wakes up,and tries to imagine the wide-eyed surprise of children in another household as they unwrap the presents she carefully chose for them.Linda has never met the children,but that's all part of the joy of giving as secret Santas,she says.
"It's an amazing feeling to buy gifts on an anonymous (匿名的) basis,"says Linda."It brings a whole new meaning to the holidays."
     Linda and Tony are an American couple living in Toronto,Canada,and Linda did charitable work as a member of the American Women's Club of Toronto.As the name suggests,members are U.S.citizens living in Toronto,who join together for fellowship and community service.
    To find her"adopted"family,Linda goes to the local schools and requests a wish list for a family that's struggling to survive.Last year she helped a single mother with three children.The mother works as a cleaning lady in a nursing home.
"The list is always heartbreaking.They have an opportunity to ask for anything and do just the opposite,asking for basic clothes or simple toys,"she says."We always buy the kids a new winter coat,hats,and gloves."She also buys gifts for the parents.
    Last year Linda asked the mother for a second wish list--one that didn't include the basics."Every child should have a Christmas that sticks with them for a lifetime."She purchased iPods for the two older children and a video game system for the youngest."I have learned a very valuable lesson in all of this,"says Linda."Pay attention to what's going on in your own backyard--no matter where you live."
The joy of giving as secret Santas is much sweeter when the gift is anonymous.

81.What reaction does Linda imagine the children will have?(No more than 5 words)They will feel greatly surprised..
82.Why did Linda join the American Women's Club of Toronto?(No more than 10 words)
She joined it for fellowship and community service..
83.Why did Linda ask for a second wish list?(No more than 15 words)She wanted to give children some other gifts rather than the basics.
84.What kind of people does"secret Santas"in the passage refer to?(No more than 12 words)It refers to people who give away anonymous gifts on Christmas..

14.When we perceive other people,we seldom describe a person in cold and objective words."She was 5feet 8inches tall,had fair hair,and wore a colored skirt."More often,we try to get inside the other person to pinpoint his or her attitudes,emotions,motivations,abilities,ideas and characters.Furthermore,we sometimes behave as if we can accomplish this difficult job very quickly---perhaps with a two-second glance.
We try to obtain information about others in may ways.Social scientist Berger suggests several methods for reducing uncertainties about others:watching,without being noticed,a person interacting with others,particularly with others who are known to you so you can compare the observed person's behavior with the known others'behavior,observing a person in a situation where social behavior is relatively unrestrained or where a wide variety of behavioral responses are called for; deliberately structuring the physical or social environment so as to observe the person's responses to specific stimuli; asking people who have had or have frequent contact with the person about him or her; and using various strategies in face-to-face interaction to uncover information about another person:questions,self-disclosures(自我表露),and so on.
Getting to know someone is a never-ending task,largely because people are constantly changing and the methods we use to obtain information are often imprecise.You may have known someone for ten years and still know very little about him.If we accept the idea that we won't ever fully know another person,it enables us to deal more easily with those things that get in the way of accurate knowledge such as secrets and description It will also keep us from being too surprised or shocked by seemingly inconsistent(前后不一致) behavior.Ironically (讽刺性的) those things that keep us from knowing another person too well (e.g.,secrets and deceptions) may be just as important to the development of satisfying relationship as those things that enables us to obtain accurate knowledge about a person (e.g.,disclosure and truthful statements.)

74.The word"pinpoint"(in 1st para0is closest in means toC.
A.appreciate   
B.obtain 
C.identify  
D.interpret
75.What do we learn from the first paragraph?D
A.People like to be described in cold,objective words.
B.It is impossible to get inside of a person.
C.It is difficult to describe a person in words.
D.Getting to know a person is usually no easy job.
76.It can be inferred from Berger's suggestions thatC.
A.people do not reveal their true self on every occasion
B.the best way to know a person is by making comparisons
C.in most cases we should avoid contacting the observed person directly
D.face-to-face interaction is the best strategy to uncover information about a person
77.The author's purpose in writing the passage is toA.
A.discuss the various aspects of getting to know people
B.provide ways of how to obtain information about people
C.warn readers of the negative side of people's characters
D.give advice on appropriate behaviors for social occasions.
