    If you live in a city where everyone rushes, realize that you don't have to be like everyone else．You can be different．
    I can't give you a step-by-step guide to moving slower, but here are some things to consider and perhaps adopt, if they work for your life．
    1．Do less
    Cut back on your projects, on your task list, on how much you try to do each day．Focus not on quantity but on quality．Pick 2 or 3 important things-or even just one important thing- and work on those first．
    2．Have fewer meetings
    Meetings are usually a big waste of time and make you rush．Try to have blocks of time with no interruptions, so you don't have to rush from one meeting to another．
    3．Give yourself time to get ready and get there
    If you're constantly rushing to appointments or other places you have to be, it's because you don't allot（分配） enough time in your schedule for preparing and for traveling．Pad your schedule to allow time for this stuff．If you think it only takes you 10 minutes to get ready for work or a date, perhaps give yourself 30 to 45 minutes so you don't have to shave in a rush or put on makeup in the car．
    4．Practice being comfortable with sitting doing nothing
    When people have to wait, they become impatient or uncomfortable．Try standing in a line and just watching and listening w people around you．It takes practice, but after a while, you’ll do it with a smile．
    5．Realize that if it doesn't get done, that's Ok．
    There's always tomorrow．And yes, I know that's a frustrating attitude for some of you who don't like laziness or living without firm deadlines, but it's also reality．The world likely won't end if you don't get that task done today．Your boss might get mad, but the company won't collapse and the life will inevitably go on．
    Try these things out．Life is better when unrushed．
    Remember the quote: If nature can get everything done without rushing, so can you．
    小题1:Which can be the best title of the passage?
    A．How not to hurry in our life?
    B． How to give out our life?
    C．What to do with our life?
    D．How to change our life?
    小题2:If you think you need 10 minutes to get ready for the date with your boyfriend, ______．
    A．you don't have to put on makeup
    B．you'd better squeeze about 35 minutes out for it
    C．you should arrange 10 minutes for it
    D．you should rush there
    小题3:According to the passage, we can know_______．
    A．even if we do as we're told by the author, we can't change anything
    B．if we follow the author's advice, our life will be better
    C．we should try to do all the things better on our task list
    D．there's always tomorrow, so we can put off the thing that must be done today till tomorrow
    小题4:The underlined word "collapse" has the similar meaning to "______"．
    A．develop rapidlyB．pay enough
    C．fail completelyD．drop suddenly

    小题1:A
    小题2:B
    小题3:B
    小题4:C
    文章讲述的主要是关于如何放慢生活节奏的一些建议
    小题1:主旨大意题，根据第二段的I can't give you a step-by-step guide to moving slower, but here are some things to consider and perhaps adopt, if they work for your life可知，该文章主要是关于如何放慢生活节奏的一些建议、
    小题2:事实细节题，根据3里面的If you think it only takes you 10 minutes to get ready for work or a date, perhaps give yourself 30 to 45 minutes 可知，
    小题3:事实细节题，根据倒数第二段的Try these things out．Life is better when unrushed可知听从作者的建议，生活会更美好
    小题4:猜测词义题，根据The world likely won't end if you don't get that task done today．Your boss might get mad可知，老板可能会生气，但是公司不会倒闭的，

    Remembering names is an important social skill. Here are some ways to master it.
    ●Recite and repeat in conversation.
    When you hear a person’s name, repeat it. Immediately say it to yourself several times without moving your lips. You could also repeat the name in a way that does not sound forced or artificial.
    ●Ask the other person to recite and repeat.
    You can let other people help you remember their names. After you’ve been introduced to someone, ask that person to spell the name and pronounce it correctly for you. Most people will be pleased by the effort you’re making to learn their names.
    ●Admit you don’t know.
    Admitting that you can’t remember someone’s name can actually make people relaxed. Most of them will feel sympathy if you say. “I’m working to remember names better. Yours is right on the tip of my tongue. What is it again?”
    ●Use associations.
    Link each person you meet with one thing you find interesting or unusual. For example, you could make a mental note: “Vicki Cheng－tall, black hair.” To reinforce your associations, write them on a small card as soon as possible.
    ●Limit the number of new names you learn at one time.
    When meeting a group of people, concentrate on remembering just two or three names. Free yourself from remembering every one. Few of the people in mass introductions expect you to remember their names. Another way is to limit yourself to learning first names. Last names can come later.
    ●Go early.
    Consider going early to conferences, parties and classes. Sometime just a few people show up on time. There’re fewer names for you to remember. And as more people arrive, you can hear them being introduced to other an automatic review for you.
    小题1:How will most people feel when you try hard to remember their names?
    A．They will be moved.B．They will be annoyed.
    C．They will be delighted.D．They will be discouraged.
    小题2:If you can’t remember someone’s name, you may ________.
    A．tell him the truthB．tell him a white lie
    C．ask him for pityD．ask others to help you
    小题3:When you meet a group of people, it is better to remember ________.
    A．all their gamesB．a couple of names first
    C．just their last namesD．as many names as possible
    小题4:What does the text mainly tell us?
    A．Tips on an important social skill.
    B．Importance of attending parties.
    C．How to make use of associations.
    D．How to recite and repeat names.
    小题5:What does the underlined word “reinforce” mean?
    A．buildB．connectC．formD．strengthen

    Betty and Harold have been married for years .But one thing still puzzles (困扰) old Harold .How is it that he can leave Betty and her friend Joan sitting on the sofa ,talking ,go out to a ballgame ,come back three and a half hours later ,and they’re still sitting on the sofa ? Talking ?
    What in the world ,Harold wonders ,do they have to talk about ?
    Betty shrugs .Talk ? We’re friends .
    Researching this matter called friendship ,psychologist Lillian Rubin spent two years interviewing more than two hundred women and men .No matter what their age ,their job ,their sex ,the results were completely clear :women have more friendships than men ,and the difference in the content and the quality of those friendships is “marked and unmistakable .”
    More than two –thirds of the single men Rubin interviewed could not name a best friend. Those who could were likely to name a woman .Yet three-quarters of the single women had no problem naming a best friend ,and almost always it was a woman .More married men than women named their wife/husband as a best friend ,most trusted person ,or the one they would turn to in time of emotional distress （感情危机）.“Most women ,”says Rubin ,“identified （认定） at least one ,usually more ,trusted friends to whom they could turn in a troubled moment ,and they spoke openly about the importance of these relationships in their lives .”
    “In general,”writes Rubin in her new book ,“women’s friendships with each other rest on shared emotions and support ,but men’s relationships are marked by shared activities.” For the most part ,Rubin says ,interactions （交往）between men are emotionally controlled –a good fit with the social requirements of “manly behavior .”
    “Even when a man is said to be a best friend ,”Rubin writes ,“the two share little about their innermost feelings .Whereas a woman’s closest female friend might be the first to tell her to leave a failing marriage ,it wasn’t unusual to hear a man say he didn’t know his friend’s marriage was in serious trouble until he appeared one night asking if he could sleep on the sofa .”
    小题1:What old Harold cannot understand or explain is the fact that     .
    A．he is treated as an outsider rather than a husband
    B．women have so much to share
    C．women show little interest in ballgames
    D．he finds his wife difficult to talk to
    小题2:Rubin’s study shows that for emotional support a married woman is more likely to turn to     .
    A．a male friend B．a female friendC．her parentsD．her husband
    小题3:Which of the following statements is best supported by the last paragraph ?
    A．Men keep their innermost feelings to themselves.
    B．Women are more serious than men about marriage.
    C．Men often take sudden action to end their marriage.
    D．Women depend on others in making decisions.
    小题4:The research done by psychologist Rubin centers around________ .
    A．happy and successful marriages
    B．friendships of men and women
    C．emotional problems in marriage
    D．interactions between men and women .

    Dear Bridge of Hope supporters,
    July 2010 was a productive month for the teachers at BOH. Marilyn traveled to Liberia and helped Kathleen Ngenda with her teacher training program on Basic Adult Literacy. During the eight-day training, she helped the teachers learn to pronounce, spell and write correctly. They are currently working on personal sets of cards and lists so that they can teach this concept to students in the fall. Kathleen plans on two trips back to the school to monitor teachers in their teaching.
    Marilyn found a very dedicated （投入的）and enthusiastic group of elementary teachers who are focused on bettering themselves as educators. BOHUSA will offer financial support for their further educational studies this fall. Our goal is to have all staff be certified by the end of 2013.
    The Liberian government recommends a C-certificate for teachers of elementary students, which can be obtained in one year of education classes (taken on Saturdays).
    There is a great need to add seventh and eighth grade classrooms and a library. There is actually no room, however, and so we need to add a second floor. Currently the ground floor houses the church and the school uses this space for daily services. The first floor would give space for three more classrooms, in addition to a large reading room and computer labs. About $40,000 to 50,000 is required to meet the educational needs.
    If you would like to contribute to this building project, please make out your check to:
    Bridge of Hope
    12002 Arnold Rd.
    Orrville, Ohio 44667
    Bridge of Hope Foundation is a non-profit organization. You do not have to pay tax on your contributions.
    小题1:Marilyn went to Liberia to ______.
    A．take a tripB．visit a school
    C．take training classesD．help train teachers
    小题2:What do we know about the school from Paragraph 4?
    A．It needs repairB．It needs expansion
    C．It has no office.D．It has an old library,
    小题3:The purpose of the letter is to _________.
    A．show the achievements of BOH
    B．thank BOH supporters for their concern
    C．raise money for an educational project
    D．call people’s attention to education in Liberia

    If you want to teach your children how to say sorry, you must be good at saying it yourself, especially to your own children. But how you say it can be quite tricky.
    　　If you say to your children “I’m sorry I got angry with you, but …” what follows that “but” can render the apology ineffective: “I had a bad day” or “your noise was giving me a headache ” leaves the person who has been injured feeling that he should be apologizing for his bad behavior in expecting an apology.
    　　Another method by which people appear to apologize without actually doing so is to say “I’m sorry you’re upset”; this suggests that you are somehow at fault for allowing yourself to get upset by what the other person has done.
    　　Then there is the general, all covering apology, which avoids the necessity of identifying a specific act that was particularly hurtful or insulting, and which the person who is apologizing should promise never to do again. Saying “I’m useless as a parent” does not commit a person to any specific improvement.
    　　These pseudo-apologies are used by people who believe saying sorry shows weakness. Parents who wish to teach their children to apologize should see it as a sign of strength, and therefore not resort to these pseudo-apologies.
    　　But even when presented with examples of genuine contrition, children still need help to become aware of the complexities of saying sorry. A three-year-old might need help in understanding that other children feel pain just as he does, and that hitting a playmate over the head with a heavy toy requires an apology. A six-year-old might need reminding that spoiling other children’s expectations can require an apology. A 12-year-old might need to be shown that raiding the biscuit tin without asking permission is acceptable, but that borrowing a parent’s clothes without permission is not.
    小题1:According to the author, saying “I’m sorry you’re upset” most probably means “_______”.
    A．You have good reason to get upset
    B．I’m aware you’re upset, but I’m not to blame
    C．I apologize for hurting your feelings
    D．I’m at fault for making you upset
    小题2:We learn from the last paragraph that in teaching children to say sorry _______.
    A．the complexities involved should be ignored
    B．their ages should be taken into account
    C．parents need to set them a good example
    D．parents should be patient and tolerant
    小题3:It can be inferred from the passage that apologizing properly is _______.
    A．a social issue calling for immediate attention
    B．not necessary among family members
    C．a sign of social progress
    D．not as simple as it seems

    Agatha Christie went out at night．She never forgot the night when she met a robber many years ago．
    That evening, she was invited to a birthday party which lasted until 2 o’clock in the morning．Agatha walked in the quiet street alone． Suddenly from the shadow of a dark building a tall man with a sharp knife in his right hand ran out at her． “Good morning, lady,” the man said in a low voice, “I don't think you wish to die here!”
    “What do you want?” Agatha asked．
    “Your earrings(耳环)． Take them off!”
    Agatha suddenly had a bright idea． She tried to cover her necklace with the collar (衣领 ) of her overcoat while she used the other hand to take off both of her earrings and then she quickly threw them on the ground．
    “Take them and let me go,” she said． The robber saw that the girl didn’t care for the earrings at all, only trying to protect the necklace． He thought the necklace would cost more, so he said, “Give me your necklace．”
    “Oh, sir． It’s not worth much． Please let me keep it．”
    “Stopping rubbish(废话)． Quick!”
    With shaky hands, Agatha took off her necklace． As soon as the robber disappeared, she picked up her earrings and ran as fast as she could to one of her friends．
