All I knew was that she was an orphan (孤儿) from Africa. She had just been adopted by a family in town who _______ that the best way for her to learn American ways of life was to be with American kids. I looked down at this ______ girl and promised myself that somehow I would help her.

But how could I help her ______ in with us? There had to be a _____ .

One day, when I went into the classroom, I saw that Suzy had _____ her geography book to a picture of a train, and in her notebook, she had made a(n) ____ copy.

Could you help me, Suzy?”

On the day of the talent show, Suzy’s _____ were everywhere ---- all over the hall and all over the school, each one different. “And finally,” said Mr. Brown, the schoolmaster, at the end of the show, “we have a (n)_ ____ award. I’m sure you’ve all noticed the wonderful posters.” Everyone nodded. “One of our own students _____ them.”

I could hear everyone whispering. “Who in our school could draw _______ well?” Mr. Brown waited a while before saying, “ _______ this student worked so hard on the posters, she deserves a _____ ,too. Our mystery(神秘) artist is our new student ---- Suzy Khan!” Mr. Brown thanked her for all the wonderful posters and gave her a professional artist’s set. “Thank you,” she cried.

When most people think of artists, they usually forget the part about the artist being a surveyor of beauty. This is because most people do not realize that there is actually a sort of process when it comes to making art so much so that lots of individuals(个人) cannot understand why true artists take their time when creating brilliant works.

The reason as to why artists take their time when creating their works is because they will first have to look for something beautiful which will inspire them. This is because an artist is someone who appreciates beauty and captures(捕获) the said beauty in a portrait, a song, a novel, and any other forms of artistic medium available to man. Rather than those commercial artists who simply paint a picture because they are paid to do so, a true artist will only work if he or she is inspired. The true artist shall not compromise his or her work because of earth temptations(诱惑) and as such they run the risk of being ridiculed(嘲弄)in exchange for their happiness. History has however shown that the true artist who correctly appreciates beauty is one whose works will end up being celebrated.

How does a true artist spot beauty? The only possible way to go about doing this is to actually look at the world. This means that the true artist is someone who loves to walk around and look at new things. Whatever it may be, the point here is that the artist does take a bit of time out to survey the world and find something beautiful which would inspire him. At times it even happens that the object that inspires the artist is not a thing but rather a person. At the end of the day, it must be said that each artist has his own views of what is beautiful and what is not. The true artist is someone who appreciates beauty.

1.What do we learn from the first paragraph?

A. Most people know little about how artists work.

B. People understand only how true artists work.

C. Most people appreciate the work of artists.

D. People tend to ignore the works of artists.

A. have a strange lifestyle

B. resist earth temptations

C. refuse to live a happy life

D. search for something beautiful

3.What is the author's attitude towards true artist?

A. Doubtful. B. Concerned.

C. Appreciative. D. Disapproving.

4.The main purpose of the passage is to .

A. tell us the result of a survey B. make a comparison

Body language is the quietest, most secret and most powerful language of all. It is said that our body movements communicate about 50% of what we really mean while words themselves only do 7%. So while your mouth is closed, just it is your body language that is saying.

When it comes to body language at the office, you may be making some big mistakes that could cause you trouble. The following are some tips on what you should not do when using body language at your office.

Don’t touch your co-workers, even if it’s on the back of the arm or shoulder. Many of your co-workers are not comfortable with any body contact(接触)with others. Be careful not to touch everyone at your office.

Don’t avoid eye contact. Eyes can speak. Lack of eye contact means cheat, and it can also point to no safety or lack of confidence. Trust and confidence are things you will communicate to the other person if you hold eye contact 50% of the time.

Don’t have a bad handshake. You’re going to show your kindness at once with a firm palm(手掌)to palm handshake. Showing the palms of your hands is an amiable gesture as it shows that you have a peaceful purpose. It means acceptance, and that you’re open to new ideas. Be careful of the dead fish handshake.

Don’t lean(倾斜) your head while listening to others. When listening to others, you should listen to him or her carefully with your head straight. For women especially, you think you are expressing interest by leaning your head when you are listening to others, but you actually come across as if you don’t understand what’s going on.

1.What can we learn from the first paragraph?

A. The importance of body language.

B. The development of body language.

C. The best way to communicate with others.

D. How to avoid making mistakes at the office.

2.The underlined word “amiable” in paragraph 5 can be replaced with______.

A. common B. polite C. friendly D. strange

3.It can be known from the passage that _____.

A. The stronger you shake hands with others the better.

B. Leaning your head when listening expresses interest.

C. Leaning back and forward shows you are thoughtful.

D. Eye contact is very important in communications.

4.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

A. Pay attention to your body language at the office.

B. How to get along with your co-workers.

C. The meaning of body language you should know.

D. Different countries have different body language.

The impression you make at the beginning of an interview is very important. Employers often decide to hire someone in the first three minutes of the interview. They judge you by your appearance, attitude and manners.

A friendly smile when you walk into the room is important. A smile shows a confident and positive attitude.

When you introduce yourself, make eye contact with the interviewer. Some interviewers offer a handshake. Others don't.

Try to be as natural as possible. But pay attention to your body language. The way you sit, walk, gesture, use your voice and show feelings on your face is all part of your body language. It makes the interviewer know how you feel about yourself and the situation you are in. Are you feeling positively about yourself? Your abilities? Your interest in the job?

Speak clearly and loudly enough. Show interest and enthusiasm in your voice. When you speak, look at the interviewer. Also, don't say negative things about yourself, or former employer.

Listen to questions carefully. If you don't understand a question, ask the interviewer to repeat or explain: "I'm sorry, but I didn't catch that." "I'm not sure exactly what you mean."

Almost everyone is nervous in a job interview. Interviewers know that. They don't expect you to be totally calm and relaxed. But they expect you to try to control your nervousness. They expect you to show confidence in your ability to do the job.

At the end of the interview, thank the interviewer for her or his time.

It's a good idea to send a short thank-you letter right after the interview, or deliver it by hand.

Phone the company if you have not heard anything after one week. Ask if they have made a decision about the job.

Good luck!

It’s generally believed that people act the way they do because of their personalities and attitudes. They recycle their garbage because they care about the environment. They pay S5 for a caramel brul6e latte because they like expensive coffee drinks.

It’s undeniable that behavior comes from our inner dispositions (性情),but in many instances we also draw inferences about who we are, as suggested by the social psychologist Daryl Bern, by observing our own behavior. We can be strangers to ourselves. If we knew our own minds,why would we need to guess what our preferences are from our behavior? If our minds were an open book, we would know exactly how much we care about the environment or like lattes. Actually,we often need to look to our behavior to figure out who we are.

Moreover, we don’t just use our behavior to learn about our particular types of character we infer characters that weren’t there before. Our behavior is often shaped by little pressures around us, which we fail to recognize. Maybe we recycle because our wives and neighbors would disapprove if we didn't. Maybe we buy lattes in order to impress the people around us. We should not mistakenly believe that we always behave as a result of some inner disposition.

Whatever pressures there can be or inferences one can make, people become what they do, though it may not be in compliance (符合)with their true desires. Therefore, we should all bear in mind Kurt Vonnegufs advice: “We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be. ’’

1.According to the passage, personalities and attitudes are commonly believed to __________.

A. determine one’s behavior

D. result from one’s habits

2.Which of the following would Daryl Bern most probably agree with?

A. The return of a wallet can indicate one’s honesty.

B. A kind person will offer his seat to the old.

C. One recycles plastics to protect the environment.

D. One buys latte out of true love of coffee.

3.What can be inferred from the underlined sentence in the passage?

A. We fail to realize our inner dispositions.

B. We can be influenced by outside pressures.

C. Our behavior is the result of our true desires.

D. Our characters can shape our social relationships.
