Talking to Teachers—Teachers are just people.Behind that desk, is a living, breathing human being.And just like any human being, they will probably be friendly to people who talk nicely to them.Teachers also seem to get along better with children who take schoolwork seriously and are prepared for class.And, just like any other human being, teachers like to be appreciated.The next time your teacher helps you solve a math problem or figure out a science project, say thank you with a smile.

Talking to Parents—Parents can be very supportive if their children ask for help.If you think there’s something your parents can do to help you socialize more or feel more comfortable around people, then ask them.Very often, parents want very much to help, but really don’t know what to do.Pick a quiet time of the day and ask to talk.Tell them how you feel.Maybe they had the same trouble when they were kids.

This Stranger Thing—This is always a tough one.How do you deal with a neighbor, the mail carrier, or someone walking down your street—situations that often seem to cause arguments between kids and parents.The answer to these questions will vary from kid to kid, from parent to parent because all cultures are different.Some folks live in small towns where a hello to everyone is “what’s done”.Then there are kids who live in the city who may have been taught not to speak to anyone they don’t know.If you’re having trouble with this and always feel awkward in these kinds of situations, you might want to talk to your parents or a teacher about it.Where do they think you should draw the line? When is silence rude and when is it wise?

1.From the first paragraph we may learn that teachers dislike____ .

  A.being talked to nicely

  B.their students to be serious with the schoolwork

  C.the students’ appreciation

  D.the students who are not ready for classes

2.If your parents are not supportive and you are not getting along quite well with your parents, who or what is to blame?

  A.Your parents.                                      B.Yourself.

  C.Lack of communication.                      D.Your teachers.

3.The underlined word in the third paragraph is close in meaning to____.

  A.afraid                  B.puzzled                C.strange                D.familiar

4.The passage doesn’t say but it implies that in daily communication____.

  A.arguments often happen between kids and parents

  B.we should talk to the neighbors and other people according to different cultures

  C.city people and country people greet in the same way

  D.we should fit our words with proper situations

  There was one thing that I found rather strange on my first day to work at Monk’s House.The floors in the house were very thin.The bathroom was directly above the kitchen, and when Mrs.Wolf was having her bath before breakfast, I could hear her talking to herself.On and on she went, talked, talked, talked, asking questions and giving herself the answers.I thought there must have been two or three people up there with her.Later Mrs.Woolf explained that Mrs.Woolf always said the sentences out loud what she had written during the night.She needed to know if they sounded right and the bath was a place for trying them out.

  I was not allowed to make coffee at Monk’s House-Mr.and Mrs.Woolf came into the kitchen at eight o’clock every morning to make it.When we carried the breakfast trays to Mrs.Woolf’s room I noticed that there were pencils and paper beside her bed so that when she woke up she could work, and sometimes it seemed as though she had had very little sleep.

  Mrs.Woolf’s bedroom was outside the house in the garden.I used to think how inconvenient it must be to have to go out in the rain to go to bed.Her bedroom had been added on to the back of the house; the door faced the garden and a window at the side opened out on to a field.Because the writing room was small.Mr.Woolf had had a large one built for her at the end of the garden against the church wall.

  I can always remember her coming out of her writing room only for lunch each day.She used to walk down through the thin and very graceful, with large, deep set eyes.She wore long skirts in the fashion of the day, any silk jackets of the same color, which suited her well.I pressed her clothes and did any sewing that was necessary.

  Her cigarettes were made from a special tobacco called My Mixture.Mr.Woolf bought it for her in London, and in the evenings, they used to sit by the fire and make these cigarettes themselves.

Students often want to practice their English outside class. One of the best ways to practice your English is to speak to a foreigner. You may ask, “Is it okay to try to talk to foreigners I see in the street?”

The answer is yes and no, but probably no! If you see a foreigner who looks lost, it is polite to ask him, “May I help you?” But, otherwise, you should probably let them get on with their business. Situations, however, do exist where it is quite all right to talk to foreigners. If a foreigner enters your school, classroom, office, shop or restaurant, for instance, feel free to ask him (for example):

— What is your name?

— Where do you come from?

— What do you think of Beijing?

— How long will you stay in Beijing?

There are also situations where it's okay to talk to foreigners in public places. If you see a foreigner alone in a restaurant, bar or coffee shop, it may be appropriate to ask him or her:

— Is this seat free?

— Do you mind if I talk to you in English?

You can probably help them if they are new in China and if they are alone, you may be able to make them feel more welcome.

After a few such questions, you should know whether this person wants to talk to you or not. If they ask you similar questions, or if they give long, informative answers, you're in luck. If not, then give them their privacy. Talking to strangers is fun if you choose the right time and place.

66. It is the best way to practice your spoken English with ______.

A. Japanese               B. Americans                      C. our classmates             D. French people

67. From the second paragraph we can get to know that ______.

A. it is polite to stop a foreigner to talk with him in the street

B. it is polite to interrupt foreigners in a conversation

C. it is impolite to interrupt a foreigner when he or she is on business

D. it is impolite to help a foreigner find his way

68. When you first meet a foreigner, you should say “_______”

A. Where are you going?                                      B. Have you ten your dinner?

C. Can you help me with my English?               D. Nice to meet you.

69. The writer suggests to us that we should ______.

A. follow the foreigners when we meet them in the street
