【题目】阅读下列短文,选出最佳选项。

When I was about ten years old, I was walking down the street with my mother. She stopped to speak to Mr. Lee. I knew I could see Mr. Lee any time around the neighborhood, so I didn’t pay any attention to him. After we passed Mr. Lee, my mother stopped me and said something that has stuck with me from that day until now. She said seriously, “You let that be the last time you’ve ever walked by somebody and not opened up your mouth to speak, because even a dog will wag its tail when it passes you on the street.” Mother’s words sound simple, but it’s been a guidepost for me and the foundation of who I am.

It’s not just something I believe in; it’s a way of life. I believe that every person deserves to feel someone acknowledge their presence, no matter how humble (卑微) they may be.

At work, I always said hello to the founder of the company and ask him how our business was doing. But I also spoke to the people who cleaned the buildings and asked how their children were doing. After a few years of greeting the founder, I had the courage to ask him for a meeting. We had a great talk. At a certain point I asked him how far he thought I could go in his company. He said, “If you want to, you can get all the way to this seat.”

I’ve become vice president, but it hasn’t changed the way I approach people. I still follow my mother’s advice. I speak to everyone I see, no matter where I am. I’ve learned that speaking to people creates a pathway into their world, and it allows them to come into mine, too.

【1】What did the author do when he met Mr. Lee?

A. He talked with somebody else.

【题目】It never occurred to anybody, not even the creators that the world would care about the complex lives, loves and sufferings of a group of attractive and witty New Yorkers. But there’s no doubt that Friends(老友记)has become more than just a successful situation comedy—it has established itself as one of the last great television phenomena of the last century. Along the way, it has made its half-dozen leading actors famous.

Looking back on the strong friendship between the group of three men and three women who frequently gather at each other’s apartments and at Greenwich Village’s Central Perk coffee house, Friends was created by television producers, David Crane and Marta Kauffman. In 1993, the pair met producer Kevin S. Bright. Then the three became partners and got a deal to produce a new comedy for Warner Brothers. What they came up with was based on Crane and Kauffman’s after-college years, when they hung out at the local coffee house and involved themselves in every aspect of each other’s lives.

It didn’t take long for viewers to make friends with Friends. The situation comedy quickly became a top ten hit. Critics loved it as well. Entertainment Weekly said the show operated like a Broadway show, with twisty plots and unique jokes. The television theme song has also been a success with the public. The song’s success helped save the television theme song. An ABC(美国广播公司)executive was ready to order very short music intros(前奏) on his network’s shows, thinking that viewers would hit the remote control as soon as the opening started. But the success of the Friends theme song led the ABC executive to change his mind-- remote controls or not, the TV theme song would stay.

Years have gone by, but Friends remains and will remain an example of a modern US situation comedy that is both hugely entertaining television and nothing short of a genuine latter-day social phenomenon.

【1】What is stressed in the second paragraph?

A. The origin of Friends.

B. The role models of Friends.

C. The popularity of Friends.

D. The brilliance of Friends.

【2】Which of the following is TRUE about Friends?

A. It has a simple but entertaining plot.

B. It is about friendship between college students.

C. It was criticized by Entertainment Weekly.

D. It first came into being in the 1990s.

【3】What can we learn from the passage?

A. Producer, Kevin S. Bright, graduated from the same college as David Crane.

B. ABC once replaced the theme song of its TV show with a short music intro.

C. The ABC executive thought highly of the theme song of Friends.

D. Marta Kauffman expected Friends to achieve great success.

【4】What might the author think of Friends?

A. Its merits outweigh its shortcomings.

B. Its success lies in the lack of good situation comedies.

C. He/she has a reserved attitude towards its success.

D. He/she shows great affection towards it.

Five Ways to Build Self-Confidence

Walk Faster.

One of the easiest ways to tell how a person feels about herself is to examine her walk. People with confidence walk quickly. They have places to go, people to see, or important work to do. Even if you aren’t in a hurry, you can increase your self-confidence by putting some energy in your step. 【1】.

2One of the best ways to build confidence is listening to an inspiring speech. Unluckily, chances to listen to a great speaker are few. You can fill this need by creating a personal speech. Write a 30~60-second speech that focuses on your strengths and goals then recite it aloud whenever you need a confidence push.

Sit in the Front Row.

In school, offices and some other public places people always sit at the back of the room, 3This is for lack of self-confidence. By deciding to sit in the front row, you can get over this meaningless fear and build your self-confidence.

Speak up.

During group discussions many people never express their opinions because they’re afraid that people will judge them for their saying something stupid. 4By making an effort to express your opinions at least once in every group discussion, you’ll become a better public speaker, more confident in your own thoughts.

Work out

Along the same lines as personal appearance, physical fitness has huge effect on self-confidence. 5By making your body fit and strong, you improve your physical appearance, refresh yourself, and learn something positive. (255words)

A. In fact most people are dealing with the same fear.

B. Walking 25% faster will make you look and feel more important.

C. In fact most people feel good after a walk.

D. If you’re out of shape, you’ll feel unattractive and less energetic.

E. Listen to an Inspiring Speech.

F. Create a Personal Speech.

G. Most people prefer that because they’re afraid of being noticed.

【题目】The act of giving gifts is a gesture of friendship, love, celebration and thanks. With a little planning, your gifts will be remembered for years.

1 Put a reminder in your diary one or two weeks before the occasion so that you can start doing your shopping. If your receivers live very far away and you need to mail the gift, then advanced planning is even more important. It will make sure that your gift gets to them on time.

Don't give gifts based on what others give you. We often hear people say, “She’s spending $ 100 on me, so I should spend $ 100 on her”.2Your gifts should be based on what is on your heart for your receivers. Don't worry about whether your receivers are going to give you something back or how much they are spending on your gifts.

Respect your budget.3 Gifts given with sincerity are appreciated even more than expensive items. By planning how much you need to spend on your gifts for others and assigning a dollar amount to each desired gift on your list, you'll be better prepared to shop within your budget.

Be aware of wrappings.4 A tastefully wrapped gift with materials that can be reused or recycled shows your caring for the environment.

Present your gift with respect.5 And when you do, present your gift by holding with both your hands as though you were holding it on a silver platter.

A. This thinking completely ruins the value of giving gifts to each other.

B. Beautiful gifts don't necessarily need to rely on ribbons or boxes.

C. The cost of your gift will not be the main factor in its success.

D. The best way to present a gift is always presenting it in person.

E. This is adopted from Asian culture to show respect and care.

F. You shouldn't buy gifts which are out of your budget.

G. Keep a schedule of the special dates.

A HOLIDAY jet pilot (飞行员) said that he would land and call the police after a woman refused to stop smoking.

He warned Maureen Harkavy, “Put that cigarette out, or I’ll land the plane and have you arrested.”

Maureen, 47, was so shocked she wrote to the airline’s chairman. But his reply was even ruder.

“You seem to think you have a God-given right to pollute your neighbours’ atmosphere,” wrote John Ferriday of Paramount Airways.

(a)Said Maureen, “I only found out about it when I was checking in. I’m a nervous flyer so I lit a cigarette during the flight. A stewardess (空姐) asked me to put it out, but I said I wanted to carry on as there was no rule against smoking on the plane.” She was just finishing her cigarette when the pilot arrived.

(b) I’ve never seen such an unpleasant letter. She said, “I don’t think I’ll ever fly again.” But there was a funny side. Maureen explained, “We were offered duty-free (免税) cigarette from the stewardess on the plane!”

(c) Mr. Ferriday went on; “Believe me, you haven’t. Especially when you travel on my planes.”

Maureen and her husband Michael were moved to Paramount flight just before they left Portugal. But they were not told of the company’ s (公司的) no smoking policy.

(d) “He was loud and rude,” said Maureen. “He said if I lit another cigarette he would land the plane at Bordeaux and hand me to the French police.”

Later, from her home in Mosely, Birmingham, Maureen wrote to the company and received the rude reply.

【题目】阅读理解。

There’s no doubt that our character has a profound effect on our future.What we must remember,however,is not merely how powerful character is in influencing our fate (命运),but how powerful we are in shaping our own character and,therefore,our own fate.Character may determine our fate,but character is not determined by fate.

It’s a common mistake to think of character as something that is fully formed and fixed very early in life.It calls to mind old proverbs like “A leopard can’t change its spots” and “You can’t teach an old dog new tricks.”

This perspective that our character is “etched in stone” is supported by a great deal of modern psychology emphasizing self-acceptance.As Popeye says,“I am what I am.” The hidden message is:Don’t expect me to be more,better,or different.

Ultimately,these views of humanity totally undervalue the lifelong potential for growth that comes with the power of reflection and choice.

How depressing it would be to believe that we can’t choose to be better,more honest,more respectful,more responsible,and more caring.None of us should give up the personal seeking to improve our character.Not because we’re bad,we don’t have to be sick to get better ,but because we’re not as good as we could be.

There are so many things in life we can’t control,whether we’re beautiful or smart,whether we had good parents or bad,whether we grew up with affirmation or negation.It’s inspiring to remember that nothing but moral will power is needed to make us better.

No,it isn’t easy.But if we make a great effort to become more aware of the habits of heart and mind that drive our behavior,we can begin to place new emphasis on our higher values so that we become what we want our children to think we are.

【1】What is the best title of the passage?

A.We shape our own character.

B.Character determines our fate.

C.Character is fully formed and fixed.

D.We must meet what our children need.

【2】The author agrees that _____________.

A.a leopard can't change its spots

B.in life we must attach importance to self-acceptance

C.we shouldn’t expect us to be more different

D.character is not fully formed and fixed very early

【3】In the author’s opinion,which of the following is TRUE?

A.We can’t choose to be better.

B.We should seek to improve our character for we’re bad enough.

C.We should value our lifelong potential for growth.

D.We should make choices constantly.

【4】What do we need to improve ourselves according to the author?

A.Our smartness.

B.Our will power.

C.Our fate.

D.Our character.

【5】What can we infer from the passage?

A.It is not difficult to improve ourselves.

B.We must try our best to be as good as possible.

C.Our children should copy our behavior.

D.We should control as many things as possible in life.
