How to stick to your own opinion in socializing ?

When it comes to your life , the opinion of others should matter very little . I am not talking about your friends and family , but others who have no importance in your reality – like your social peers and others like them . They are unimportant to your life , and yet you secretly struggle for approval at the cost of your own . Remember , your opinion is king .

Start by being your true self . Allowing your true self to appear and connect with people on a more real level helps them in turn do the same with you . There is openness and honesty in the interaction . At the end of the day this is what we all want – the joy of true and meaningful connections .

Next , evaluate your decisions . Are they representing who you are or are they the result of other people’s opinion ? Practice your ability not to be affected by pressure and learn to take nothing personally . When we are bothered by outer criticisms , it influences and changes our behavior . Don’t look to others for guidance on how to behave . Don’t look for approval . If you don’t need approval , you won’t have a reason to try to impress people or be impressed by them .

And finally , be real in EVERY situation . As you express your real self , others will think highly of you and the few who don’t – don’t matter anyway . Be willing to be judged , and then not take it to heart . If all this is a bit scary , then start small . Rather than not caring at all what others think , start by just caring a little less . No one outside your inner circle should get a vote or pass judgment or have influence on how you live your life .

1.The text is especially helpful for those who want to __________ .

A. enlarge friend circle

B. speak highly of others

C. remain unaffected by others’ opinions

D. develop the ability to make wise decisions

2.Being real can help people __________ .

A. Care about no one’s opinion .

B. Look for guidance on behaviors .

C. Impress people by making changes .

D. Start by taking others’ judgment less seriously .

ORTOTROT? I heard that word while studying in Australia. It is a local language for “Are you ready (to go)?”. And at Sydney Airport, I asked the way to the train station and a man told me“Go ask that “bloke” over there.” “Bloke” is used in Australia and refers to a person. “Day” and “die” sound almost alike and since “a”, “i” and “o” all sound almost the same, I have always told my Australian friends, jokingly, that they only need 24 letters, and not 26 like the rest of us do.

Australian English began to be different from British English in 1788 and has many words that some consider unique (独特的) to the language, such as outback, meaning a remote, sparsely-populated (人口稀少的) area. Early settlers from England brought other similar words, phrases and usages to Australia. “Bonzer”, which was once a common Australian word meaning “great” or “beautiful”, is thought to have been an American term. The American influence on language in Australia has come from pop culture, the mass media (books, magazines and television programmes) and the Internet. Australian English is most similar to New Zealand English for their similar history.

Words of Irish origin are used, some of which are also common elsewhere in Irish, such as “tucker” for “food”. Some native English words whose meanings have changed under Irish influence, such as “paddock” for “field”, which has exactly the same meaning as the Australian “paddock”are still in use.

1.According to the passage, we know Australian English .

A. has special characters

B. is a kind of old language

C. is very difficult to learn

D. is the same as British English

2.Why did the writer tell his Australian friends they only need 24 letters?

A. Because Australians never use “a” or “i”.

B. Because Australians speak very easy English.

C. Because there are 3 letters having similar pronunciation.

D. Because there are some different ways to call the same thing.

3.Australian English is most similar to New Zealand English because .

A. they learn from each other

B. they have similar history

C. the two countries have the same political system

D. people from the two countries often travel to each other’s country

4.The American influence on Australian English comes from the following EXCEPT .

A. pop culture B. the Internet

C. computer software D. the mass media

There is distinction between reading for information and reading for understanding．1. .

The first sense is the one in which we read newspapers, magazines, or anything else．2. Such materials may increase our store of information, but they cannot improve our understanding．And clearly we don’t have any difficulty in gaining the new information, for our understanding was equal to them before we started．Otherwise, we would have felt the shock of puzzlement．

The second sense is the one in which we read something that at first we do not completely understand．Here the thing to be read is at the first sight better or higher than the reader．The writer is communicating something that can increase the reader’s understanding．3. Otherwise one person could never learn from another．Here “learning” means understanding more, not remembering more information．

What are the conditions in this kind of reading? First, there is inequality in understanding．4. Besides, his book must convey something he possesses and his potential readers lack．Second, the reader must be able to overcome this inequality in some degree．And he should always try to reach the same level of understanding with the writer．If the equality is approached, success of communication is achieved．

5. It is the least demanding and requires the least amount of effort．Everyone who knows how to read can read for entertainment if he wants to．In fact, any book that can be read for understanding or information can probably be read for entertainment as well．

A．Thus, we can employ the word “reading” in two distinct senses．

B．Such communication between unequals must be possible．

C．We can get access to the content of those materials easily．

D．The writer must be “superior” to the reader in understanding．

E．The writer should have a better communicating skill．

F．Besides gaining information and understanding, there’s another goal of reading—entertainment．

G．Reading for entertainment is capable of increasing our understanding for information．
