题目内容

【题目】In our daily life, we may meet some people who are so shy. It’s perfectly OK to take time to warm up new people. 1

Start small talks with people you know. Practice social behaviors like eye contact, confident body language, introductions, asking questions, and invitations with the people you feel most comfortable around.

2 Often, the hardest part of talking to someone new is getting started. Think of conversation openers, like introducing yourself, or asking a question. Being ready with a conversation starter (or a few) makes it easier to get to know someone.

Rehearse (排练) what to say. Write down what you want to say beforehand. Rehearse it out loud, maybe even in front of the mirror. Then just do it. Don’t worry if it’s not exactly like what you have practiced or if it’s not perfect. 3 Next time, it’ll be better because it will be easier.

4 Find group activities where you can be with people who share your interests. Give yourself a chance to practice socializing (社交) with these new people, and get to know them slowly.

Most of all, be yourself. It’s OK to try out different conversational ways you know. But say and do what fits your style. 5

A. Nobody is perfect.

B. It’s easier said than done.

C. Think of some conversation starters.

D. It’s important to work out in groups.

【题目】Ever walked to the shops only to find, once there, you’ve completely forgotten what you went for? Or struggled to remember the name of an old friend? For years we’ve accepted that a forgetful brain is as much a part of aging as wrinkles and grey hair. But now a new book suggests that we’ve got it all wrong.

According to The Secret Life of the Grown-Up Brain, by science writer Barbara Strauch, when it comes to the important things, our brains actually get better with age. In fact, she argues that some studies have found that our brain hits its peak between our 40s and 60s—much later than previously thought.

Furthermore, rather than losing many brain cells as we age, we keep them, and even produce new ones well into middle age. For years, it’s been assumed that brain, much like the body, declines with age. But the longest, largest study into what happens to people as they age suggests otherwise.

This continuing research has followed 6,000 people since 1956, testing them every seven years. It has found that on average, participants performed better on cognitive认知的)tests in their 40s and 50s than they had done in their 20s. Specifically, older people did better on tests of vocabulary, verbal memory (how many words they can remember) and problem solving. Where they performed less well was number ability and perceptual speed—how fast they can push a button when ordered. However, with more complex tasks such as problem-solving and language, we are at our best at middle age and beyond. In short, researchers are now coming up with scientific proof that we do get wiser with age.

Neuroscientists are also finding that we are happier with age. A recent US study found older people were much better at controlling and balancing their emotions. It is thought that when we are younger we need to focus more on the negative aspects of life in order to learn about the possible dangers in the world, but as we get older we’ve learned our lessons and are aware that we have less time left in life; therefore, it becomes more important for us to be happy.

1】Barbara Strauch probably agrees that ________.

A. the young are better at handling important things

B. people’s brains work best between their 40s and 60s

D. wrinkles and grey hair are the only symbols of aging

C. vocabulary testsD. body balance

3】People are happier with aging because ________.

A. they learn to value the time left

B. they know how to share feelings

C. they cannot focus on negative aspects

D. they do not realize the possible dangers

4】What is the main idea of the passage?

A. People get happier with age.

B. People get wiser with age.

C. People get more forgetful with age.

D. People get more self-aware with age.
