【原文】

W: London is located in South East England, on the River Thames. It is well known around the world for its amazing history, unusual architecture, music and fashion. I think what makes it special is the fact that you can meet all kinds of people there as it is a melting pot of hundreds of different communities, cultures and languages. The main language is English, but this is spoken with a wide variety of accents and dialects(方言).

The advantages of living in London are the high employment prospects, the range of things to do, such as cultural and social activities, the beautiful parks and river. Some of the main industries in London are tourism, retail(零售), finance, creative industries, banking and so on. So there are more jobs for people to choose from, and it's quite easy to travel around London on the tube(伦敦地下铁道), buses and overground trains.However, one of the main downsides(缺点，不利方面) of London is the cost of living.Rent and travel costs are some of the highest in the world, so any advantage of higher wages is usually cancelled out by higher living costs. If you don't like crowds, you'd better stay away from the city center. London also faces problems such as air pollution, caused by heavy traffic, and also flooding.

【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.

【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.

【1】According to the passage, which of the following is NOT the harm of drinking wine?

A.It can do damage to the brain.

B.It may bring about high blood pressure.

C.It may contribute to working overtime.

D.It can add to the risk of many cancers.

【2】From 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

【3】What 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.
