     There are two basic ways to see growth: one as a product, the other as a process. People have
generally viewed personal growth as an external(外在的) result or a product that can easily be identified
and measured. The worker who gets a rise, the student whose grades improve, the foreigner who learns
a new language-all these examples of people who have measurable results to show for their efforts.
     By contrast(对照), the process of personal growth is much more difficult to determine, since it is a
journey and not the specific signposts or landmarks along the way. The process is not the road itself, but
the attitudes, feelings people have, and their caution or courage, as they meet with new experiences and
unexpected difficulties. In this process, the journey never really ends; there are always new ways to
experience the world, new ideas to try, new challenges to accept.
     In order to grow, to travel new roads, people need to have a willingness to take risks, to face the
unknown, and to accept the possibility that they may "fail" at first. How we see ourselves as we try a
new way of being is necessary for our ability to grow. Do we see ourselves as quick and curious? If so,
we tend to take more chances and be more open to unfamiliar experiences. Do we think we're shy and
indecisive? Then our sense of fear can cause us to hesitate, to move slowly, and we think we are slow
to adapt(适应) to changes or that we're not smart enough to deal with a new challenge. Then we are
likely to take a more passive role or not try at all.
      These feelings of insecurity(不安全) and self-doubt are both unavoidable and necessary if we are
to change and grow. If we protect ourselves too much, then we stop growing. We become trapped
inside a shell of our own making.

     Face book, the world's biggest social networking site, is celebrating its sixth birthday. The site's
founder, Mark Zuckergerg, states that Face book will continue to work as hard as it has worked in
the last six years in order to stay the web's number one communication site.
     The company started in a dorm room in 2004. Today it has 150 million active users, more than
the 130 million of its competitor MySpace.
     Face book set itself apart from other social networking sites because you can communicate with
people you really know and trust. Before, most people didn't want to share their real identities online.
Face book has given people a safe and trusted environment for people to interact online. It has changed
the way people view the world. A friend from any country is only a few clicks away.
     It was back in February 2004 when Zuckerberg started "the Face book" from a Harvard student's
room. The aim was to help students get in touch with each other over the Internet. Within 24 hours over
a thousand students had signed up and soon after that the network spread out to other universities.
     By 2005 a research study showed that about 85% of the students in the network had a Face book
account. Another survey showed that Face book was almost as important as an iPod. At the end of
2005 Face book came to the UK. And up to today the site has been translated into 35 languages.
      Six years after its start, Face book has escaped the universities and colleges. More than half of its
users are not at college any more and the fastest growing group are the 30 to 40-year-olds. Every day
15 million users update their profiles to tell their friends and the world what's happening to them. They
also share photos, upload videos, chat, make friends, join groups and simply have fun.
1. Face book is different from other social networking sites mainly because _______.
A. it is set up by Zuckerberg in a dorm room

2. Which of the following is NOT true about Face book?
A. It's the world's biggest social networking site.
B. The site of Face book has been translated into 35 languages.
C. The number of its active users is 20 million more than My Space today.
D. Face book is considered more important than iPod to the students of the UK.
3. On the Face book the users can update their profiles besides ______.
a. uploading videosb. enjoying picturesc. joining groups

D. why Face book is so popular

     A popular saying goes, "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me."
However, that's not really true. Words have the power to build us up or tear us down. It doesn't matter
if the words come from someone's else or ourselves - the positive and negative effects are just as lasting.
    We all talk to ourselves sometimes. We're usually too embarrassed to admit it, though. In fact, we
really shouldn't be because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy
habit.
   This "self-talk" helps us motivate ourselves, remember things, solve problems, and calm ourselves
down. Be aware, though, that as much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negative. So in order to stay
positive, we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves. We should also be quick to give
ourselves a pat on the back.
The next time you finish a project, do well in a test, or finally clean your
room, join me in saying "Good job!"
     Often, words come out of our mouths without us thinking about the effect they will have. But we
should be aware that our words cause certain responses in others. For example, when returning an item
to a store, we might use warm, friendly language during the exchange. And the clerk will probably
respond in a similar manner. Or harsh(刻薄的)and critical language will most likely cause the clerk to
be defensive.
     Words possess power because of their lasting effect. Many of us regret something we once said.
And we remember unkind words said to us! Before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: Is it
loving? Is it needed? If what we want to say doesn't pass this test, then it's better left unsaid.
     Words possess power: both positive and negative. Those around us receive encouragement when
we speak positively. We can offer hope, build self-esteem (自尊) and motivate others to do their best.
Negative words destroy all those things. Will we use our words to hurt or to heal? The choice is ours.
1. The main idea of the first paragraph is that ________.
A. not sticks and stones but words will hurt us
B. inspiring words give us confidence
C. negative words may let us down    
D. words have a lasting effect on us
2. There is no sense for us to feel embarrassed when we talk to ourselves because _______
A. almost everybody has the habit of talking to themselves
B. we can benefit from talking to ourselves
C. talking to ourselves always gives us courage
D. it does no harm to have "self-talk" when we are alone
3. The underlined part in the third paragraph means that we should also timely _______
A. praise ourselves                  
B. remind ourselves
C. make ourselves relaxed              
D. give ourselves amusement
4. The author would probably hold the view that ___________
A. encouraging words are sure to lead to kind offers
B. negative words may stimulate(刺激) us to make more progress
C. people tend to remember friendly words
D. it is better to think twice before talking to others

     London has a new magazine. But it's not printed on paper. Everyone who has a television can receive
it because it is on TV.
    In order to read this magazine you have to have a decoder. Each page of it is numbered, so you only
have to dial the number to choose which subject you want to read about. There's a wide
choice- everything is included from cooking to the latest sports news.
    If you want to read the news, the first thing you have to do is to turn to the index page which has an
easy-to-remember page number, 100 for example. Then you start choosing what you want to read. The
news is on pages 101 to 109, so you push out the numbers and the news appears written across your
screen. Perhaps you want to go out in the afternoon, so you press 181, and a brightly colored weather
map appears on the screen. But the weather is terrible so you decide to go shopping and dial 162 for a
list of the week's best bargains. But should you drive or take the train ? To answer the question you only
have to press 189 for the traffic report. It's very simple to use. But probably the best thing about the
service is that it's being updated all the time. Journalists type new material directly onto the screen and
whole pages of the magazine can be replaced in minutes.
     London has already had three services. One, transmitted(传输)by ITV, is called ORACLE, while the
other two, on BBC, are called CEEFAX, because they let you see facts. Although CEEFAX and
ORACLE have been operating for some time, they have not been well publicized. BBC engineers do not
think that their idea will ever replace books and newspapers because they can be taken with you
everywhere. But many people agree that this is a breakthrough as great as the invention of printing, which
could change not just our reading habits but our whole way of life.
1.What is unusual about the mew magazine in London?
A. You can find any subject you want in it.
B. No paper is used to print the magazine.
C. There 1,000 page numbers in the index.
D. The speed of transmitting is astonishing.
2. It's clearly seen from the passage that ________.
A. it takes long for the service of the magazine to be updated
B. most of the postmen will be out of work someday
C. the readers can get all kinds of information without leaving home
D. everyone can read the magazine if there is a television at hand
3. According to the passage, the "decoder" is used to help people to ________.
A. read the information transmitted by TV signals
B. broadcast special TV programs at home and abroad
C. dial the number to choose which subject you want to read about
D. find the exact page in which you can get information you need
4.The passage is mainly about           .
A. a new magazine printed in London
B. a popular TV program with three services
C. a great breakthrough in printing
D. an up-to-date way of keeping up to date

     This August has seen athletes doing their sweaty part in the "Good Luck Beijing" sports events.
Some foreign athletes have commented on the passion of Chinese spectators (观众).
     Not all the spectators, however, came out looking exactly good. Girls holding umbrellas on beach
volleyball stands. Spectators crying sharply during the hockey matches. These can be unintended disturb.
To avoid them, we'd keep in mind some special manners:
     Beach volleyball
     1. Dress down for beach volleyball. It's also a good time to show off your colorful top and sexy
shorts.
     2. Use protective cream for your skin. Wear sunglasses and bring something to drink. But don't carry
something that blocks others' view.
     3. Look all you want at the body shapes around you, but save some attention for the players' skills.
     Archery & shooting
     1. Sit at the back or on either side of the field. For safety's sake, do not risk out of there.
     2. Above all, keep quiet during the match. Put your cellphone on vibrate or turn it off.
     3. Do not use the flash on your camera, because it can disturb the athletes.
     4. When the athletes are aiming at the target, keep your voice down.
     Baseball, basketball & football
     1. Drinks in glass bottles or cans are not allowed.
     2. Don't bring a whistle. Referees use them and you can puzzle the players.
     3. Players can be tense when taking a shot. Keep the cheering down at critical moments. Do not
use the camera flash.
     4. If you easily get nervous, bring some snacks. Keep your mouth moving to calm you down.
     Cycling & marathon
     1. Spectators should keep off the track. Control your pets.
     2. Cyclists or runners might look tired, sweaty and thirsty, but, do not hand them a bottle of water,
a cool towel or anything else. Any help from spectators can disqualify (剥夺资格)an athlete.
     3. Again, if a cyclist or runner falls, do not rush over to help. The best thing to do is to contact
medical personnel.
1. When watching beach volleyball matches, you should not ______.
A. bring anything to drink
B. use an umbrella on stands
C. wear sunglasses
D. look at the body shapes
2. You'd better not ______.
A. eat anything when watching matches

D. stay where you sit when watching shooting
3. If you go to watch marathon, you can not _______.

   Students often meet with questions as follows: bullied by someone, worried about a weak subject,
puzzled by family problems or concerned about pets at home. All the questions above may make you
not concentrated on your study. Who can you turn to if you are such an unlucky student? A great person
to share your thoughts and feelings with is your school counsellor(顾问).
  Add school counsellors to the list of people you can turn to when you need help. They know how to
listen and can help kids with life's challenges(挑战). Counsellors have special training in how to help
kids solve problems, make decisions, and stand up for themselves. That doesn't mean your counsellor
will wave a magic wand and the problem will go away. But it does mean he or she will help you cope
with(应付) it. Coping is an important word to know. Sometimes, kids and grown-ups have difficult
problems. Coping means that someone is trying to handle these problems and make things better.
Your school counsellor is available for you and wants to make your school experience the best it can
be. The counsellor's job is to take your problem seriously and help you find a solution. The counsellor
also wants to help you learn as much as you can in class, be a contributing member of the school
community, and be a positive influence on your environment.
1. From the underlined sentence we may infer that ________.
A. a school counsellor is one of those who can help you

D. You have family problem.
3. What does the writer think of the school counsellors?

A. They can solve any questions you meet with.
B. They can help students get their life or study improved.
C. They are as important as teachers in schools.
D. They may punish those who have bullied you.

     Meeting people from another culture can be difficult. From the beginning, people may send the wrong
signals(信号). Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a
relationship.
     Different cultures emphasize(强调) the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree. For example, business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust. Even with
people at work, it is necessary to spend a lot of time in "small talk", usually over a glass of tea, before
they do
any job. In many European countries-like the UK or France-people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafes rather than at the office.
     Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures. I once made a speech in Thailand. I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion; instead there was an uncomfortable silence.
The people present just stared at me and smiled. After getting to know their ways better, I realized that
they thought I was talking too much. In my own culture, we express meaning mainly through words, but
people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary.
     Even within Northern Europe, cultural differences can cause serious problems. Certainly, English and
German cultures share similar values; Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly. We think
that they are rude. In fact, this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more
quickly.
      People from different parts of the world have different values, and sometimes these values are quite
against each other. However, if we can understand them better, a multicultural environment(多元文化
环境) will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other,
1. In some countries, eating together at restaurants may make it easier for people to ______.
A. develop closer relations    
B. share the same culture
C. get to know each other    
D. keep each other company
2. The author mentions his experience in Thailand to show that_________.
A. the English prefer to make long speeches
B. too many words are of no use
C. people from Thailand are quiet and shy by name
D. even talk and silence can be culturally different
3. According to the text, how can people from different cultures understand each other better?
A. By sharing different ways of life  
B. By accepting different babits
C. By recognizing different values    
D. By speaking each other's languages

A. Multicultural Environment  
B. Cross-Cultural Differences
