If you've ever been to a social gathering, you might feel awkward and uncomfortable. While social gatherings can be very enjoyable, especially when you are surrounded by people whose company you enjoy, there are social events that you sometimes find yourself wishing you were someplace else. Such occasions can sometimes be the cause of much anxiety and self-consciousness. You may even feel like everyone else is having a good time except for you. Yet the truth is that everyone has felt shy and awkward on occasion. One of the best ways to overcome self-consciousness or get past your feelings of shyness at social gatherings is to focus on the people around you. If you can remember that other people might also be feeling awkward or shy, you might find the thought of speaking to them less overwhelming.

The next time there is a social event you feel nervous about attending, you may want to try this exercise: Spend some time with your eyes closed and breathe deeply. When you feel ready, create your own zone of comfort by visualizing yourself surrounded in a warm white light that is protective yet accepting of others. Imagine people at the event being drawn to you because of the open and warm feelings that you are showing. When you arrive at the event, take a moment to spread this same light of loving acceptance to everyone around you.

Smile and greet people warmly. Try going up to someone who is standing alone and introduce yourself. When you show acceptance and openness, people can't help but respond to you in kind.

Focusing on how we can make other people at a social gathering feel at ease can help us forget about our own insecurities. The next time you attend a social gathering, invite people to join you in your zone of comfort that you have so lovingly and intentionally created. Let yourself enjoy being encircled in the warmth of their friendships.

1.In the author's opinion, people feel awkward at a social gathering because ________.

A. the atmosphere is unpleasant

B. they don't like the people there

C. they are too proud to talk with others

D. they may feel they are different from others

2.The underlined word "visualizing" in Paragraph 2 probably means ________.

A. introducingB. persuadingC. imaginingD. forcing

3.If you feel uncomfortable about attending a social event, the author advises you to ________.

A. invite some friends

B. arrive ahead of time

C. talk with others nonstop

D. be open and warm to others

4.What is the text mainly about?

A. How to make a good impression on others.

B. How to feel at ease at a social gathering.

C. How to prepare for a social gathering.

D. How to make friends with others.

It seems school children all over the world complain about their school food. Cherie Blair, the wife of former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, said that she would prepare a packed lunch for her son if school dinners do not improve. So what do students of your age eat for lunch at school?

Japan

High schools have canteens(餐厅), which serve everything from noodles to rice, but not burgers and chips. Other children bring food from home such as cold rice balls, meat or fish, pickles(泡菜) and vegetables.

Students take home a menu for the coming month containing notes on nutrition value. Twice a year parents are invited to have a taste of the food. The class with the fewest leftovers(剩饭) at the end of the month receives a prize.

United States

A typical menu from a US school is made up of a hamburger with fried potatoes or roast chicken, lettuce and pickles, fruit and cookies. School lunches must also provide at least one-third of the daily dietary allowances(定量) of protein, vitamin A, vitamin C, iron, calcium and calories.

Australia

Meat pies, sausage rolls and hot dogs are all traditional dishes in Australian school shops. But as the nation pays more attention to children’s health, healthier foods have started to find their way onto school menus.

Many schools have used a traffic light system. The sale of red-labelled(标签) foods, including pastries, chocolate and soft drinks, is served only twice a week. Healthier green-labelled foods such as sushi, sandwiches, corn and watermelon, however, are available every day.

In some schools, students have a choice of up to 89 foods to choose from, including popcorn and rice.

South Africa

Most of South Africa’s schools do not serve meals at all. Classes end at 1:30 p.m. and students get their own lunches. Many students bring food from home, usually sandwiches.

Fast food and fried food sell the best among students, which has led to a rise in obesity among children. But as more people began to realize the fact that being too fat may cause different diseases, some schools in towns have led the way towards better nutrition(营养). Now students at these schools are provided with lunches of porridge(粥) with vegetables, such as cabbages, onions, beans, carrots and tomatoes.

1.We can infer from the text that ________.

A. a usual menu from a US school has enough nutrition

B. most students in South Africa eat their lunch at home

C. many schools in Australia have traffic lights outside their school

D. you can have whatever you like in school canteens in Japan

2.What does the underlined word “obesity” in the last paragraph probably mean?

A. Fighting.B. Sadness.C. Food shortage.D. Overweight.

3.What is the main idea of the text?

A. Schools should try to satisfy the needs of students.

B. Schools serve different foods from country to country.

C. Food served in the US is the best of all.

D. School children all over the world dislike their school food.

4.The text is written for ________.

A. school lunch sellers

B. schoolmasters

C. students of your age

D. nutritionists (营养学家)

When it comes to preschool education, there are two lines of thought. One says that preschoolers need to be taught early academic skills in order to get a leg up on future school achievement. Another says the focus should be on social and emotional development. But, new research from Penn State University says a high quality preschool program should do both.

Karen Bierman, Penn State Professor of Psychology, and her team studied 350 preschoolers. Half were taught the traditional curriculum(课程）. The other half were given the basic curriculum as well as social and emotional teaching.

The results show that the half students taught with a curriculum that includes social lesson, such as sharing, listening and self-control, score higher in both the social and academic areas of school readiness than the other half students.

The other finding is that when you work on both academic and social-emotional skills, you get stronger gains in both areas. “You get the combined power when you put both together, so neither area is weakened.” she says.

Clearly, knowing how to share, develop healthy friendships, and learn side-by-side with others is important to a child’s academic achievement in the classroom. But, Bierman says the importance of social and emotional education goes beyond that. Preschool is prime time for the development of self-regulation, which not only tells a child not to hit another child, but also tells a child how to set personal goals and focus himself enough to follow through with those goals. And the ability to regulate behavior is what helps children get motivated at school. “When they get upset, bored, or frustrated, it doesn’t defeat them.” she says.

Goal-oriented (面向目标的) and motivated learning is best taught in preschool, Biernam says, when the prefrontal part of the brain, which controls decision-making, is at the height of development. “First grade teachers can teach letter names, but preschool is when that behavior is peaking and language is just beginning to develop,” she says.

1.Karen Bierman and her team carried out the research by ________.

A. tracking 350 preschoolers for years

B. separating children into two equal groups

C. working out a high quality preschool program

D. analyzing the importance of social and emotional teaching

2.The underlined words “prime time” in the text probably refer to ________.

A．the best timeB．the only time

C．the earliest timeD．the suitable time

3.According to the text, self-regulation can help children ________.

A．be willing to studyB．become emotionless

C．memorize letter namesD．learn language quickly

4.What’s the best title for the text?

A. Preschool learning: more than ABCs and 123s

B. Karen Bierman: freeing kids from boring learning.

C. Learning self-regulation in preschool: why it matters?

D. Academic and social-emotional skills: which is more important?
