【解析】

1returning

考查非谓语。句意“几个月后(我)从德国回到美国,……”return的逻辑主语是I,I return 的关系是主动关系,故要用returning。

2took

考查时态。从整个文章来看是要用过去时。故要用took。

3to begin

考查不定式作宾补。我原认为开始学习另一种语言也许很有趣。I thought it might be interesting to begin studying another language本句中it 是形式主语,真正的主语是后面的动词不定式。所以要用to begin.

4At

考查介词。在(at)第一节课,老师叫我们做一个发音练习,…at the first class在第一节课上。

5or

考查连词。在这个练习中,他会说一(或者)两个单词。or ,或者。故用or.

7kept

考查谓语动词。当轮到我时,他不停地让我说很多单词。keep doing sth一直做某事。

8more

考查比较级。让我说(比别人)多的单词。从前面可知让别人只说一两个,而让我说很多,故要用比较级。Many 的比较级是more。

9fun

考查名词作宾补。我觉得非常有趣。fun开心的,有趣的。

10an

考查冠词。在我25年的教学中,我是第一次听到美国人说法语带有一种德语口音。表示量词,故要用an。

Involve several scenes.You can stimulate(刺激)more parts of your brain by using as many senses as possible when memorizing information.4For example,the process of writing information by hand stimulates your brain and makes it easier to remember the information later.

5By developing new mental skills,especially complex ones such as learning a new language or learning to play a new musical instrument,and challenging your brain with puzzles and games,you can keep your brain active and improve its physiological(生理学上的)function.

【题目】If you've ever been to a social gathering, you might feel awkward and uncomfortable. While social gatherings can be very enjoyable, especially when you are surrounded by people whose company you enjoy, there are social events that you sometimes find yourself wishing you were someplace else. Such occasions can sometimes be the cause of much anxiety and self-consciousness. You may even feel like everyone else is having a good time except for you. Yet the truth is that everyone has felt shy and awkward on occasion. One of the best ways to overcome self-consciousness or get past your feelings of shyness at social gatherings is to focus on the people around you. If you can remember that other people might also be feeling awkward or shy, you might find the thought of speaking to them less overwhelming.

The next time there is a social event you feel nervous about attending, you may want to try this exercise: Spend some time with your eyes closed and breathe deeply. When you feel ready, create your own zone of comfort by visualizing yourself surrounded in a warm white light that is protective yet accepting of others. Imagine people at the event being drawn to you because of the open and warm feelings that you are showing. When you arrive at the event, take a moment to spread this same light of loving acceptance to everyone around you.

Smile and greet people warmly. Try going up to someone who is standing alone and introduce yourself. When you show acceptance and openness, people can't help but respond to you in kind.

Focusing on how we can make other people at a social gathering feel at ease can help us forget about our own insecurities. The next time you attend a social gathering, invite people to join you in your zone of comfort that you have so lovingly and intentionally created. Let yourself enjoy being encircled in the warmth of their friendships.

Nowadays it’s not easy to find a suitable job. Follow these tips, and possibly you can find a job that suits your personality.

List your strong and weak points

Before you start your job search, take some time to think about your strong and weak points. 【1】 If you are excellent at managing your time, for example, a job in project management, or one that involves organizing others, could be perfect.

Ask others for their opinions

Although you should know yourself better than anyone else, there are times when a second opinion is needed. 2 They may come up with ideas that you haven’t considered.

【题目】根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Weighing the Options

Making decisions when shopping is often a tough call. Even if you’re satisfied with the first dress you try on, would you go on looking for alternatives, comparing styles and prices, until literally dropped dead?

Psychology researchers have studied how people make decisions and concluded there are two basic styles. “Maximizers” like to take their time and weigh a wide range of options—sometimes every possible one—before choosing. “Satisficers” would rather be fast than thorough.

16. __________ So even if they see what would seem to meet their requirements, they can’t make a decision until after they’ve examined every option to make sure that they’re making the best possible choice. Researchers followed 548 job-seeking college seniors at 11 schools from October through their graduation in June. They found that the maximizers landed better jobs. 17. _________

“The maximizer is kicking himself because he can’t examine every option and at some point had to just pick something,” they say. “Maximizers make good decisions and end up feeling bad about them. 18. _________

Satisficers also have high standards, but they are happier than maximizers. Maximizers tend to be more depressed and to report a lower satisfaction with life, their research found.

Faced with so many choices in our lives, we need to learn how not to waste time and energy on our decision-making.

19. ________ For instance, if you’re picking a restaurant for a lunch meeting, first deciding on a certain part of town or type of cuisine can narrow your options.

Once you’ve arrived at a decision, stick with it. 20. __________ To limit the number of options you can set a time limit for decision-making. Say you are buying a new bag, you could spend an amount of time studying features, price and value—but if you give yourself only five minutes to make a decision, and there are only these bags you can consider, you’ll save time. You’ll be happier with your decision, too.

A. The other is to make decisions more accurately at the beginning.

B. Satisficers make good decisions and end up feeling good.

C. First of all, decrease your range of options.

D. Comparing is often a must when you make a decision.

E. Maximizers are people who want the best.

F. Just accept that no decision is ever completely perfect.

G. Their starting salaries were 20 percent higher but they felt worse about their jobs.
