W:Well, I wish I hadn’t moved in. The man who lives upstairs often plays the piano until midnight. I really can’t stand it.

M: Why don’t you ask him to stop?

W: I’ve tried, but it doesn’t work. What’s worse, he isn’t the only one that I cannot stand. The woman who lives next door often comes over to borrow things, but she never returns anything.

M: Then don’t lend her anything!

W: Now I don’t even open the door when she knocks. I’m afraid I’ll have to move again.

M: You can move in with my sister Susan. The girl who was sharing her apartment, Jennifer, has moved out, so she has an extra room now.

W: That’s great. Your sister is such a great girl. I’ll call her and move in with her as soon as possible. After all, I need to sleep well every night in order to do well in the coming exams.

A little boy selling magazines for school walked up to a house that people hardly visited. The house was very old and the owner hardly ever came out. When he did come out he would not say hello to neighbors or passers by but simply just glare(瞪眼看)at them.

The boy knocked on the door and waited, sweating from fear of the old man. The boy's parents told him to stay away from the house. A lot of the other neighborhood children were told the same from their parents.

As he was ready to walk away, the door slowly opened. " What do you want?" the old man said. The little boy was very afraid but he had a quota(份额) to meet for school with selling the magazines.

"Uh, sir, I uh am selling these magazines and uh I was wondering if you would like to buy one." The old man just stared at the boy. The boy could see inside the old man's house and saw that he had dog figurines(小狗雕像) on the wall. "Do you collect dogs?" the little boy asked. "Yes, I have many collections in my house. They are my family here. They are all I have." The boy then felt sorry for the man, as it seemed that he was a very lonely soul. "Well, I do have a magazine here for collectors. It is perfect for you. I also have one about dogs since you like dogs so much." The old man was ready to close the door on the boy and said, "No boy, I don't need any magazines of any kind, now goodbye."

The little boy was sad that he was not going to make his quota with the sale. He was also sad for the old man being so alone in the big house that he owned. The boy went home and then had an idea. He had a little dog figurine that he got some years ago from an aunt. The figurine did not mean nearly as much to him since he had a real live dog and a large family.

【题目】 Some effective ways to Meet New People

It is universally acknowledged that first impressions matter a lot. If you want to know how to meet people, just follow these steps.

Live in the moment.

To meet new people, the first thing you have to do is enjoy the present moment of the new conversation. Let go of your expectations and fears. 1

When you approach a new person, don’t ask yourself, “How do I look?” or “How do I sound?” Instead, ask, “What would this person like to talk about?” or “What matters to this person?”

2

If you keep up your confidence, people feel that you’re a person who is worth talking to. You should be confident before you walk into a room with new people in it and build your confidence as the conversation goes along. Just smile, talk about the things that you love, and show everyone that you love who you are, where you are, and what you do.

3 Stand tall, maintain eye contact, and don’t fidget (烦躁) with your hands or look at the floor. When you introduce yourself, speak clearly and loudly enough that you’ll be heard.

Be positive.

4 You should smile from time to time. Talk about the things you love, the things that make you happy, and your interests to keep people engaged.

Don’t talk about your longstanding hatred for a certain teacher, or classmate. 5 The occasional “That’s so true!” or “I know exactly what you mean!” will be far more positive.

A.Stay confident.

B.Communicate in a fun and casual way.

C.Body language can help you stay confident.

D.They can prevent a conversation from unfolding smoothly.

E.Don't ask for the person's number in the middle of the conversation.

F.Maintaining a positive attitude will make people want to talk to you.

G.Don't nod and agree with what the person is saying every five seconds.

【题目】 Too much work and too much wine go together like biscuits and cheese, a new international study finds.

Employees who work more than 48 hours a week are 11% more likely to over consume wine than those who work a standard week, Finnish researchers say.

The study looked at more than 300,000 people in Australia, Europe and North America. No differences were seen between men and women, says the study.

Risky wine consumption is considered as more than 14 drinks a week for women and more than 21 drinks a week for men. About 20% of Australians drink at travels that put them at the risk of life time harm from injury or disease.

Drinking wine can affect the liver(肝脏)or cause brain damage, heart disease, high blood pressure and increases the risk of many cancers.

Study author Marianna Virtanen said while wine might help reduce the stress of working long periods of time, risky consumption could lead to difficulties in the workplace, such as poor performance.

The European Union Working Time Directive makes sure that workers in EU countries have the right to work no more than 48 hours a week, including overtime.

"But many people, for example well-educated managers and professionals, work much longer hours to achieve faster promotions, income increases, and more control over work and employment, ” said Prof. Virtanen of the Finnish Institute of Occupational Health.

In Australia, it's recommended that healthy men and women drink no more than two standard drinks a day.

A.It can do damage to the brain.

C.It may contribute to working overtime.

2From the passage, we can infer that .

A.the study was carried out all over the world

B.Australians drink more wine than Europeans

C.workers in EU countries have to work 48 hours a week

D.many people work longer hours for certain purposes

3What is the main idea of the passage?

A.Long work hours and alcohol abuse are linked.

B.Working long period of time will do harm to our health.

C.To keep healthy men and women should not drink wine.

D.Many workers drink more wine than they should.
