11．When Julio Diaz stepped off the subway after work one night，he was simply planning to go to his favorite local diner for a meal．But when a teenage boy approached him with a knife，Diaz knew the evening was about to take a more dramatic（巨大而突然的） turn．
The young man demanded Diaz's wallet，and Diaz passed it over without objection（异议）．But just as he turned to walk away，Diaz called，"Hey，wait a minute．You forgot something．"
The young man turned around，surprised．
"If you're going to rob people for the rest of the night，you might as well take my coat to keep warm．"
The teenager looked at Diaz in disbelief，and asked why he would do such a thing．Diaz replied，"If you're willing to risk your freedom for a few dollars，I guess you must really need the money．"He said he was heading out for dinner，and that he would be happy to take someone with him．
The young man decided to take Diaz on his offer．As they were sitting at the table，the manager，dishwashers and waiters all stopped over to say hello to Diaz，and the young man was amazed at his popularity．
"Haven't you been taught that you should be nice to everybody？"Diaz asked him．
"Yeah，but I didn't think people actually behaved that way，"the teenager replied．Thanks to Diaz，he was beginning to see that kindness wasn't so strange，after all．
When the bill came，Diaz told the teen that he'd have to get the check．After all，he still had Diaz's wallet．
But the teenager put the wallet on the table without a moment's thought，and Diaz treated him to dinner．Diaz also gave the would-be robber a﹩20bill-in exchange for his knife．"I figure，you know，if you treat people right，you can only hope that they treat you right，"Diaz said．

1．How do you improve your English speaking skills，so that you can communicate more easily and effectively？These tips will help you to become a more confident speaker．
Practice where you can and when you can．Any practice is good---whether you
speak to someone who is a native English speaker or not．
It's important to build your confidence．If possible，use simple sentence structure that you know is correct so that you can concentrate on getting your message across．
Try to experiment with the English you know．Apply words and phrases you know to new situations．Native English speakers are more likely to correct you if you use the wrong word than if you use the wrong grammar．Experimenting with vocabulary is a really good way of getting feedback（反馈）
Try to respond to what people say to you．You can often get clues to what people think by looking at their body language．Respond to them in a natural way．
Try not to translate into and from your own language．It takes too much time and you will find it difficult to get an English answer right away．You don？t know how to do well．The more you want to act well，the more slowly you act．This will make you more shilly-shally．
If you forget a word，do what native English speakers do all the time，and say things that‘fill'the conversation．This is better than remaining completely silent．Try using‘um'，or‘er'，if you forget the word．
Don't speak too fast!It？s important to use a natural rhythm in speaking English，but if you speak too fast it will be difficult for people to understand you．
Try to relax when you speak and you，11 find that your mouth does most of the pronunciation work for you．Speak English at normal speed．Final tips
-Try to become less hesitant and more confident．
-Don't be shy to speak------the more you do it，the more confident you，11 become．
-Remember to be polite------use"please"and"thank you"if you ask someone to
do something for you．

2．That cold January night，I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco．There I was walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theater．With opening night only a week away，I was still learning my lines．I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time．As I walked，I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco．City life had become too much for me．
As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings，I felt very small and cold．I began running，both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers．Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets．
About a block from my apartment，I heard a sound behind me．I turned quickly，half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun．The street was empty．All I saw was a shining streetlight．Still，the noise had made me nervous，so I started to run faster．Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been．It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk．
Suddenly I wasn't cold or tired any more．I ran out of the door and back to where I'd heard the noise．Although I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes，my wallet was nowhere to be found．
Just as I was about to give up the search，I heard the garbage truck pull up to the sidewalk next to me．When a voice called from the inside，"Alisa Camacho？"I thought I was dreaming．How could this man know my name？The door opened，and out jumped a small red-haired man with an amused look in his eyes．"Is this what you're looking for？"he asked，holding up a small square shape．
It was nearly 3 a．m．by the time I got into bed．I wouldn't get much sleep that night，but I had got my wallet back．I also had got back some enjoyment of city life．I realized that the city couldn't be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each other．

19．People are always afraid of making mistakes．But sometimes it is not bad to make mistakes，and here is why．
  First of all，mistakes are a clear sign that you are trying n ew things．It's always good to try new things because when you are trying new things you are growing．If you never try new things，how can you improve？How can you create？The simple answer is，"You can't．"Look around you．Everything you see is the result of someone trying new things．
  Another good thing about mistakes is this：when you are making mistakes，you are learning．Consider this：Edison failed 10，000 times before he invented the light bulb．When he was asked how he felt after having failed so many times，he claimed that he hadn't failed 10，000 times，but had learned 10，000 things that didn't work．
  Finally，when you make a mistake，you are much closer to your goal．Why？Because you have said what you should say，and you have done what you should do．Every time you make a mistake，you are closer to your goal．But it doesn't mean that you can make mistakes without thinking．Instead，when you try new things，you have to think them over so that you can keep away from some unnecessary mistakes．
  As the old saying goes，"If you are not making mistakes，you are not trying hard enough．"So go bravely and make mistakes．And learn．And grow．And succeed．

A．you are ca reful    B．you're kind   C．you're growing    D．you know nothing

A．It's not bad to make mistakes sometimes．
B．When to correct mistakes．
C．It's not good to make mistakes sometimes．
D．How to correct mistakes．
6．We Chinese are not big huggers．A handshake or a pat on the shoulder is enough to convey our friendship or affection to one another．So when our newly-acquainted Western friends reach out to give us a hug，some of us feel awkward．Many questions go through our head．Where should I put my arms？What distance should I maintain？Should our chests touch？
But it isn't just people from cultures that are conservative in expressing physical contact who find hugging confusing．Hugs can cause discomfort or even distress in people who value their personal space．
In a recent article for The Wall Street Journal，US psychologist Peggy Drexler said that although the US remains a"medium touch"culture，Americans do seem to be hugging more．From politicians to celebrities，hugs are given to friends，strangers and enemies alike，whether they are willing or not；and the public has been quick to pick up the practice．
Public figures know that nothing expresses fellowship or affection like a good hug．US First Lady Michelle Obama has put her arms around icy foreign leaders like Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev and the Queen of England．Pop superstar Lady Gaga is also a hug enthusiast，telling her fans that"I will always，always，try my very best to wrap my arms around you when I meet you．"
But not all are grateful to be hugged，even by the most influential and famous．To them，any hug is offensive if it's not sincere．Amanda Hess，writing for US magazine Slate，says public figures should stop imposing hugs on everyone they meet．For them，a hug is rarely a gesture of sincere fellowship，or affection．It's all part of a show．

28．Chinese people don't enjoy hugs becauseA．
A．they are conservative in physical touch
B．they don't know how to hug correctly
C．they think a handshake is the best way to convey friendship
D．they feel awkward to communicate with westerners
29．Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined phrase"pick up the practice"？B
A．Enjoy the medium touch culture．      B．Follow the trend．
C．Give hugs to enemies．                D．Resist physical touch．
30．Public figures like giving hugs toD．
A．thank public people                  B．show sincere friendship
C．express enthusiasm                   D．win fellowship or affection
31．What can we learn from the last paragraph？D
A．People are grateful to hugs of any kind    B．A hug is a gesture of friendship．
C．A famous person's hug is usually sincere  D．An insincere hug is a part of show．

20．People in the United States honor their parents with two special days：Mother's Day，on the second Sunday in May，and Father's Day，on the third Sunday in June．These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents．They raise their children and educate them to be responsible（有责任感的） citizens．They give love and care．These two days make us think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers．More mothers now work outside the home．More fathers must help with child care．
These two special days are celebrated in many different ways．On Mother's Day people wear carnations．A red one symbolizes a living mother．A white one shows that the mother is dead．Many people attend religious services to honor parents．It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit the cemetery（墓地）．On these days families get together at home，as well as in restaurants．They often have outdoor barbecues for Father's Day．These are days of fun and good feelings and memories．
Another tradition is to give cards and gifts．Children make them in school．Many people make their own presents．These are valued more than the ones bought in stores．It is not the value of the gift that is important，but it is"the thought that counts"．Greeting card stores，florists，candy makers，bakeries，telephone companies，and other stores do a lot of business during these holidays．
