8.How to communicate effectively
Effective communication is a must for everyone who hopes to be successful.It helps express your thoughts and improves your career prospects(前景) as well as strengthens relationships.Therefore,it's necessary to work hard to improve your communication skills.
(36)ABefore you are ready to talk to a group of people,you should think about what you are going to talk about.Although a printed copy of a speech may not be always necessary,highlighting a few important issues in your mind is a must.(37)DAnd it reduces the possibilities of getting away from the main issues.
Choose your words.
Choice of words is the most important part of any communication.Simple,clear words are appropriate for the issue you are discussing.Needless to say,words that could make your audience unpleasant are best kept out of the communication.Most people tend to be careful about their language while at work.(38)CThis may hurt your loved ones beyond your imagination.
Use your body language properly.
Many people use body language by mistake and end up making a fool of themselves.Body language means keeping eye contact and using hand gestures only wherever required.(39)GThis will make your talk more of a stage performance and defeat its purpose.
Listen and concentrate.
Communication is an exchange of ideas.Once you are done with your part,listen carefully to what other people plan to say.(40)E Get rid of all distractions such as a phone before you begin communication.A distraction not only disturbs your focus,but it also causes your audience's attention to wander.

18.The hardest language
People often ask which is the most difficult language to learn,and it is not easy to answer because there are many factors to take into consideration.Firstly,in a first language the differences are unimportant as people learn their mother tongue naturally.(55)E.
A native speaker of Spanish,for example,will find Portuguese much easier to learn than a native speaker of Chinese,for example,because Portuguese is very similar to Spanish,while Chinese is very different.(56)A.The greater the differences between the second language and our first,the harder it will be for most people to learn.
(57)B.Teachers and the circumstances in which the language is learned also play an important role,as well as each learner's motivation for learning.If people learn a language because they need to use it professionally,they often learn it faster than people studying a language that has no direct use in their day to day life.
Apparently,British diplomats and other embassy staff have found that the second hardest language is Japanese,which will probably come as no surprise to many,but the language that they have found to be the most problematic is Hungarian,which has 35cases forms of a nouns according to whether it is subject,object,etc.
(58)D In the case of Hungarian for British learners,it is not a question of the writing system,which uses a similar alphabet,but the grammatical complexity,though native speakers of related languages may find it easier,while struggling with languages that the British find relatively easy.
No language is easy to learn well,though languages which are related to our first language are easier.Learning a completely different writing system is a huge challenge,but that does not necessarily make a language more difficult than another.In the end,it is impossible to say that there is one language that is the most difficult language in the world.

A.In this case,first language can affect learning a second language
B.Some people seem to learn languages readily,while others find it very difficult.
C.Regardless of this,it is difficult to gain a good knowledge of every language.
D.Individuals from different cultures will find different languages more difficult.
E.So the question of how hard a language is to learn is only relevant when learning a second language.

Every time I heard the other students talking and laughing,I felt my heart broken.I couldn't talk with anyone about my problems.And I didn't want my parents to worry about me.
Then one day,my classmates talked happily with their friends,but I sat at my desk unhappily as usual.(33)A I didnt know who he was.He passed me and then turned back.He looked at me,with a smile on his face.
Suddenly,I felt the touch of something bright and friendly.It made me feel happy,lively and warm.
(34)E I started to talk with other students and made friends.Day by day,I became closer to everyone in my class.The boy with the lucky smile has become my best friend now!
(35)C I believe that the world is what you think it is.If you think it lonely,you might always be alone.So smile at the world and it will smile back.

Hide and Seek
Hide and seek isn't just for kids.Dogs can really enjoy this game.Pick up one of your dog's favorite toys or treats.Tell your dog to stay.(37)AWhen you are ready,call your dog to come to you.If possible,squeak(使吱吱叫) the toy or shake the treats.Reward your dog with praise and the toy or treat when she finds you.

Find the Treat
Dogs have superior senses of smell,and most love to use their noses to find food.Let your dog use her brain and her nose to find hidden goodies.First,have your dog stay out of sight.Then,hide her favorite treats in different places around the room.(39)GIf help is needed,you can lead her around or point to areas for her to explore.
Whatever the game,safety comes first!Remember to watch your dog for signs of exhaustion or overheating when you are playing.Stopif your dog seems tired or shows signs of anxiety.(40)EWhen other dogs or people are around,it may create a dangerous distraction (分神).

Life is the greatest teacher
There always comes a moment when I wonder where I will end up and this moment always serves as a strong motivation for me to learn life lesson.I've learned a great many things,but these are the lessons that I wish I'd learned earlier:
(61)C
There was a time when everyone's opinion was mine as well.Whatever preferences I formerly held were dashed in the face of another's.This most likely came from a need to please others.
Remember that your opinion matters just as much as the next guy's,whether they make more money than you or are less popular than you.Everyone's opinion holds the same weight.
(62)E
Drama,chaos,and emotional unrest-these were what took up most of my time as a teenager.When everyone's obsessed with what's in and what's not,tempers flare; mine mostly.
If I had heard someone said rotten things behind my back,I'd erupt.Go crazy.Looking back on those tantrums now,I'm not too surprised.After all,when you have little self control,anything is possible.The lessons here is,remain aware of how you react.
(63)A
Will one small quarrel among friends decide the fate of the entire universe?In my world it felt like it.I just wanted so much to be right and for them so much to be wrong.But in the end,it only resulted in me wasting my time and in the other person storming off in frustration.
Is there really a point to arguing?Unless it's absolutely necessary,I've learned that it's better to hold your breath on things you can't control at all.
Arguing to change someone's mind is one of them.
(64)B
I'm not saying every parent wants what's best for you (there are outliers),but in general,parents do what they do for you in your best interest.My parents used to make me do the dishes,cook dinner,sweep the floors,mow the lawn,take out the garbage…the list goes on and on.And at every turn,I'd whine and complain.I'd eventually end up doing it.Now,I honestly see the value in having learned those skills.I can efficiently cook and clean up after myself.
(65)F
Whenever I'd lose a friend,get an awful grade,or disappoint my parents,I stewed in my own muck.Waiting for the bad moments to go away seemed to be the only solution.Fortunately,I know now that you don't have to be stuck in bad situations.You can go out and create better ones.
It all depends on perspective; on how you see the situation.Viewing everything as a learning experience makes life more pleasurable,even during the hard times.You aren't stuck.You can move on.
I'm glad to have learned these lessons the way I did.Each experience helped shape me to become a better person.I don't know if any young people are reading this,but if they are,I'd like to say this:"Listen to life and it's experiences.Everyone goes through mostly the same things."
17.Bedrooms
Bedrooms are very important.In fact,you spend one third of your life in yours.This means that you probably don't want a boring bedroom.You will not want a bedroom full of so many things that you can't get to your bed,or that is painted in your least favorite color.(36)D
When you are designing a bedroom and you don't know what to do with some space in the corner,you may want to see if you can fit in a desk or a small sitting area.(37)BYou might want to fill this space to get some more storage(储存)space or have somewhere to have some privacy.
Furniture is not the only thing to consider when you design your bedroom.(38)AIf you aren't sure what to do,just keep your walls and furniture white,and make sure that little things are also in the same style.
(39)CYou can put up dry erase boards,chalk boards,and pictures to give your room some style.You may also want to put in a bedside table.Those are great ways to show others some of your favorite photos and lovely toys.Finally,try to find something that adds energy and life to your bedroom.(40)F

A.You also need to consider color.
B.You could also put in a bookshelf to create space.
C.Besides,you might have some wall space to use up.
D.This means you will need to plan out your bedroom.
E.Don't choose a heavy,large bed for a small bedroom.
F.Of course,plants help a lot and they can also keep the air clean.
G.If you love to read in bed,a small bedside table probably won't work.
18.This Way to Dreamland
Daydreaming means people think about something pleasant,especially when this makes them forget what they should be doing.Daydreamers have a bad reputation for being unaware of what's happening around them.They can seem forgetful and clumsy.(36)A  They annoy us because they seem to be ignoring us and missing the important things.
But daydreamers are also responsible for some of the greatest ideas and achievements in human history.(37)C Can you imagine what kind of world we would have without such ideas and inventions?
So how can you come up with brilliant daydreams and avoid falling over tree roots or otherwise looking like a fool?
First,understand that some opportunities(机会) for daydreaming are better than others.Feeling safe and relaxed will help you to slip into daydreams.(38)B  And if you want to improve your chances of havinga creative idea while you're daydreaming,try to do it while you are involved in another task-preferably something simple,like taking a shower or walking,or even making meaningless drawings.
It's also important to know how to avoid daydreams for those times when you really need to concentrate."Mindfulness",being focused,is a tool that some people use to avoid falling asleep.(39)E
Finally,you never know what wonderful idea might strike while your mind has moved slowly away.(40)G
Always remember that your best ideas might come when your head is actually in the clouds.

A.They stare off into space and wander by themselves.
B.Having interesting things to think about also helps.
C.Without wandering minds,we wouldn't have Coke or Post-it notes.
D.At one time,daydreaming was thought to be a cause of some mental illnesses.
E.It involves slow,steady breathing for self-control that helps people stay calm and attentive.
F.Daydreams are often very simple and direct,quite unlike sleep dreams,which may be hard to understand.
G.Therefore,it's a good idea to keep a notebook or voice recorder nearby when you're in the daydream zone.
