Giving bad news is a difficult ball game. To help you get through an already difficult situation, try these tips when you have to tell someone bad news.

Think about your audience. People respond differently to bad news. Think about who you're talking to and how best to pass on unpleasant information to that person.

Consider the news. Are you the best person to give this news? If not, then you should consider letting others do it. Remember, however, that if you' re talking to someone about your relationship, there is no other choice. It is something you yourself have to face.

Look for an appropriate moment to break the news. You don't tell the bride her grandfather died right before she walks down the passage. Wait until the time is right and you are at a private place where you won't be interrupted.

Find a chair. No one should be standing when receiving bad news.

Go straightforward. Give bad news the same way you take off a bandage: QUICKLY. Say that you have bad news and then tell it. Don't leave the receiver twisting in the wind.

Let it sink in. Many people mentally shut down when hearing bad news. There's no reason to keep talking if someone can' t hear you any more.

Be ready for anything. Your audience may do nothing or may instead scream and throw things when you give unwelcome news. You just never know. If things get out of hand.you may need to temporarily excuse yourself or seek the help of friends or relatives.

Offer your help. Let people know you are there for them. If you're breaking up with someone, however, you should consider skipping this step, because the last thing she'll want is your help.

What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange or red? If you do, you must be an optimist (乐观者), a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement. Do you prefer grays (灰色) and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy and you would rather follow than lead. If you love green, you are strong-minded and determined (意志坚定的). You wish to succeed and want other people to see you are successful. At least this is what psychologists (心理学家) tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference (爱好), and the effect (影响) that colors have on human beings. They tell us that we don't choose our favorite color as we grow up. If you happen to love brown, you did so as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.

   A yellow room makes us feel more cheerful (开心的) and more comfortable (舒服的) than a dark green one, and a red dress rings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand, black is depressing (压抑). Light and bright colors make people not only happier but more active. It is a fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or dark gray.

   Remember, then, that if you feel low, you can always brighten your day or your life with a new shirt or a few colorful things. Remember also that you will know your friends and your enemies better when you find out what colors they like and dislike. And don't forget that anyone can guess a lot about your character when you choose a piece of handkerchief.

1.According to this passage, _________.

  A. one can choose his color preference  

  B. one is born with his color preference

  C. one's color preference is changeable

2.We would pay attention to colors because _______.

  A. colors do have effect on our moods(情绪)

  B. colors may have effect on our work and study

  C. light and bright colors make people happy

  D. you can know your friends better by the colors they like or dislike

3. The main idea of this passage is ________.

  A. one's color preference shows one's character

  B. you can brighten your life with wonderful colors

  C. psychologists have been studying the meaning of color preference

  D. one's color preference has something to do with his character and colors have effects on human beings

4. "I am feeling black" means ______.

  A. I am feeling well             B. I am very happy   

   C. I am excited                    D. I am depressed

 Parents often believe that they have a good relationship with their teenagers. But last summer, Joanna and Henry noticed a change in their older son: suddenly he seemed to be talking far more to his friends than to his parents. “The door to his room is always shut.” Joanna noted.
Tina and Mark noticed similar changes in their 14-year-old daughter. “She used to cuddle up (蜷伏)with me on the sofa and talk,” said Mark. “Now we joke that she does this only when she wants something. Sometimes she wants to be treated like a little girl and sometimes like a young lady. The problem is figuring out which time is which.”
Before age 11, children like to tell their parents what’s on their minds. “In fact, parents are first on the list.” said Michael Riera, author of Uncommon Sense for Parents with Teenagers. “This completely changes during the teen years.” Riera explained. “They talk to their friends first, then maybe their teachers, and their parents last.”
Parents who know what’s going on in their teenagers’ lives are in the best position to help them. To break down the wall of silence, parents should create chances to understand what their children want to say, and try to find ways to talk and write to them. And they must give their children a mental break, for children also need freedom, though young. Another thing parents should remember is that to be a friend, not a manager, with their children is a better way to know them.
【小题1】“The door to his room is always shut” suggests that the son         .

A.keeps himself away from his parents

A.their daughter isn’t as lovely as before
B.they don’t know what to say to their daughter
C.they can’t read their daughter’s mind exactly

A.Teenagers do not talk much with their parents.
B.Teenagers do not want to understand their parents.
C.Teenagers talk a lot with their friends.
