    I was waiting for a phone call from my agent. He had left a message the night before, telling me that my show was to be cancelled. I called him several times, but each time his secretary told me that he was in a meeting and that he would call me later. So I waited, but there was still no call. Three hours passing by, I became more and more impatient. I was certain that my agent didn’t care about my work, and he didn’t care about me. I was overcome with that thought. I started to shout at the phone, “Let me wait, will you? Who do you think you are?”At that time I didn’t realize my wife was looking on. Without showing her surprise, she rushed in, seized the phone, tore off the wires, and shouted at the phone, “Yeah! Who do you think you are? Bad telephone! Bad telephone!” And she swept it into the wastebasket.

    I stood watching her, speechless. What on earth…?

    She stepped to the doorway and shouted at the rest of the house, “Now hear this! All objects in this room – if you do anything to upset my husband, out you go!” Then she turned to me, kissed me and said calmly, “Honey, you just have to learn how to take control.” With that, she left the room.

    After watching a crazy woman rushing in and out, shouting at everything in sight, I noticed that something in my mood(情绪) had changed. I was laughing. How would I have trouble with that phone? Her antics helped me realize I had been driven crazy by small things. Twenty minutes later my agent did call. I was able to listen to him and talk to him calmly.

    1.Why did the author shout at the telephone?

    A. He was mad at the telephone.

    B. He was angry with his agent.

    C. He was anxious about his wife

    D. He was impatient with the secretary.

    2. What did the author’s wife do after she heard his shouting?

    A. She said nothing B. She shouted at him.

    C. She called the agent D. She threw the phone away

    3.What made the author laugh?

    A. His own behavior. B. His wife’s suggestion

    C. His changeable feelings D. His wife’s sweet kiss.

    4. What does the underlined word “antics” refer to?

    A. Smart words B. Unusual actions

    C. Surprising Looks D. Anxious feelings

    From time to time I travel to town from my new country home. On this particular Saturday, it was Adam’s turn to accompany me on the forty-five-minute drive---- a coveted(渴望的) pleasure.

    Adam has a deep fondness of candy. If he knew there was a candy treat on the other side of a mountain， he would move the entire mountain, stone by stone, to get the treat.

    When we arrived, we walked toward the store. But I found Adam had fallen silent — his stare falling on something further down the street.

    There an old man sat by the store entrance, begging. His gray sweater had many holes exposing a dirty T-shirt. He sat with his back to the wall, his hands cupped around an empty hat.

    “Can I have my dollar, daddy?” I pulled a dollar and handed it to Adam and thought he would use it to buy his candy. “Thank you, daddy.” He went away and I went on to choose something we needed. After a while we left the store and walked a few feet to the corner. While waiting for the light, I felt Adam gently slip his hand from mine. I turned watching him as he walked back to the beggar giving his dollar.

    When he came back, I hugged Adam saying, “Daddy is very proud of you, Adam. That was very thoughtful.”

    “It certainly was,” confirmed(证实) a female voice to my right. I turned and watched a middle-aged woman place five dollars in the man’s hat. “May I?” she asked as she leaned over to kiss Adam’s cheek. I nodded and smiled—Adam smiled.

    “Look, daddy.” Adam was looking over my shoulder to the beggar. A small group of people had gathered around him placing money in his hat. I couldn’t help but recall a thought: A child shall lead them.

    1.Why did Adam become silent when walking to the store?

    A. Because he felt tired after the drive.

    B. Because he noticed a beggar sitting by the store.

    C. Because the beggar asked money from him.

    D. Because he saw an old man sat before the store entrance.

    2.What made the writer feel proud of his son?

    A. Adam dared to walk alone on the busy road.

    B. Adam was able to buy something for himself.

    C. Adam shared his sweet with poor beggar.

    D. Adam gave his money to the poor beggar.

    3. What did the woman want to do by asking “May I?”

    A. She wanted to show her praise by kissing Adam.

    B. She asked if she could give the beggar some money.

    C. She intended to give five dollars to Adam in return.

    D. She hoped to kiss the writer for his act of kindness.

    4. From the passage, we can make a conclusion that ____________.

    A. a child is often the first to love others.

    B. a child can take the lead in loving others.

    C. a child usually needs others to lead him.

    D. a child sometimes should be led to do things.

    You feel happiest when you create a healthy balance between giving and receiving. If you give and give without making time to fill your own needs, then it’s likely you will burn out, or feel upset .When you take and take without giving anything back ,you never feel fulfilled, so you are always searching for ways to fill the void in your life.

    The way to create a healthy balance between giving and receiving is to know and then live by your values .I break values up into two groups which I call being and having values. Your being values are the character traits of the ideal person you would like to be. I suggest to my clients that they choose three being values that they are willing to make a commitment to live by. An example of some being values are: kind, loving, generous, inspirational, peaceful, wise and even powerful. By acting on these values you give to others through your actions and you inspire others by being a positive role model. Mastering being these character traits becomes your life purpose.

    Your having values are the feelings you need to create in order to be happy. These could be companionship, achievement, support, being valued or financial security. This is what you receive. You take responsibility for filling your own needs by taking steps to create these feelings and conditions in your life.

    When you make a commitment to live by your being values, it becomes easier to make conscious choices rather than reactionary ones. If your usual pattern is to talk about your problems, you could choose to think and act like a calm person. A calm person might go for a walk, meditate, or set a time limit before responding. If your usual pattern is to worry, you could choose to act like a responsible or wise person. In other words, you would act like the person you choose to be—this is the key to personal power.

    When you choose to act on your values, you not only feel good about yourself, you reinforce your chosen beliefs. Over time acting in this way changes how you see the world, and in turn the way other people think of you.

    1.The main purpose of this passage is to ___________.

    A．persuade the readers to make a commitment

    B．inform the readers how to be truly happy

    C．explain to the readers what personal values are

    D．instruct the readers how to make wise choices

    2.According to the text, living by your being values ,you would ___________.

    A．gain a lot of power

    B．fill your own needs

    C．seek all human virtues

    D．form positive personality

    3.The underlined word “void” in Paragraph 1 means ___________.

    A．a feeling of emptiness

    B．an absence of one’s mind

    C．a break of continuity

    D．a state of confusion

    4.Which of the following does not belong to “your having values”?

    A. your success in the competition

    B. the help from your friends

    C. your own peaceful mind

    D. the friendship

    5.What can be inferred from the text?

    A．Having values are better than being values.

    B．The way other people think of you decides who you are.

    C． A calm person does not choose to complain.

    D．A responsible person does not care about financial security.

    Shyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people. Shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are excessively concerned with their own appearance and actions. Worrisome thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: what kind of impression am I making? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattractive clothes?

    It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must negatively affect people. A person's conception of himself or herself is reflected in the way he or she behaves, and the way a person behaves affects other people's reactions. In general, the way people think about themselves has a profound effect on all areas of their lives.

    Shy people, having low self-esteem, are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others. They need reassurance that they are doing "the right thing." Shy people are very sensitive to criticism; they feel it confirms their feelings of inferiority. They also find it difficult to be pleased by compliment with a statement like this one, "You're just saying that to make me feel good. I know it's not true." It is clear that while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful.

    Can shyness be completely eliminated, or at least reduced? Fortunately, people can overcome shyness with determined and patient efforts in building self-confidence. Since shyness goes hand in hand with a lack of self-esteem, it is important for people to accept their weaknesses as well as their strengths. Each one of us is a unique, worthwhile individual, interested in our own personal ways. The better we understand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our full potential. Let's not allow shyness to block our chances for a rich and fulfilling life.

    1.The first paragraph is mainly about _______.

    A. the cause of shyness

    B. the feeling of shy people

    C. the effect of shyness on people

    D. the question in the minds of shy people

    2.According to the writer, self-awareness is __________.

    A. harmful to people

    B. a healthy quality

    C. the cause of unhappiness

    D. a weak point of shy people

    3.What is the shy people’s reaction to praise?

    A. They are pleased by it

    B. They feel they are worthy of it.

    C. They are very sensitive to it.

    D. They feel it is not true.

    4.What can learn from the passage that shyness can _______.

    A. be overcome with determination

    B. help us to live up to our full development

    C. enable us to understand ourselves better

    D. have nothing to do with lack of self respect

    Guide for Teenagers

    The teenage years can be tough, and it’s normal to feel sad every now and then. But if these feelings don’t go away or become so intense that you can’t handle them, you may be suffering from depression.1..

    Try not to isolate yourself

    When you’re depressed, you may not feel like seeing anybody or doing anything. Just getting out of bed in the morning can be difficult, but isolating yourself only makes depression worse. 2. Spend time with friends, especially those who are active.

    Keep your body healthy

    Making healthy lifestyle choices can do wonders for your mood. Ever heard of a "runners high"? Physical activity can be as effective as medications for depression, so get involved in sports, ride your bike, or take a dance class. Any activity helps! 3.As for food, make sure you’re feeding your mind with plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.

    Avoid alcohol and drugs.

    You maybe try drinking or use drugs in an effort to escape from your feelings and get a "mood boost," even if just for a short time. However, substance use can not only make depression worse, but can cause you to become more depressed. 4.. You will need special treatment for your substance problem.

    5..

    Stress and worry can lead to depression. Talk to a teacher if exams or classes seem overwhelming. In addition, if you have a health concern you feel you can’t talk to your parents about, see a doctor. A health professional can help you approach your parents and guide you toward appropriate treatment. If you’re dealing with relationship, friendship, or family problems, talk to an adult you trust.

    A. Ask for help if you are stressed.

    B. Even a short walk can be beneficial.

    C. Turn to your parents for help.

    D. As you get out into the world, you may find yourself feeling better.

    E. In short, drinking and taking drugs will make you feel worse---not better---in the long run.

    F. The more exercise you do, the healthier you will be.

    G. Help is available and you have more power than you think.
