If you're looking for a challenging situation to practice your English, pick up the phone. Not being able to see the other person and the body language can make the chatting difficult. __1.__ Here are some tips to guide you through an average phone conversation in English.

1．Greetings

Every phone call should begin with a polite greeting such as “Hi, how've you been？” or “Nice to hear from you”. Even if you're calling a business contact for a specific purpose, it'd be rude to jump right into business. __2.__

2．Getting to the point

There always comes the point where you want to move on from friendly chatting and get down to business. What should you do in this situation? __3._ However, if you are waiting to find out why someone called you, you can guide the conversation by saying “So what can I do for you？”

3．Interrupting without offence

Sometimes you may happen to be speaking with a very talkative person. __4.__ Keep in mind when you'd like to interrupt, and be sure to do it politely. For example, begin with “I'd like to say something here”．

4．Closing the call

This can be the trickiest part of the conversation! It may be the time to offer good wishes if it's appropriate. _5.__ Sometimes it's easiest to just say you enjoyed speaking to the other person. Also remember cleverly saying the word well at the beginning of a sentence can indicate you're ready to end the conversation.

A．Use the phrase “I'm just calling to...” to change to the topic at hand.

B．Additionally, you may want to confirm any plans you've made.

C．You should make a little small talk at the beginning.

D．You'd better greet him or her in a friendly way.

E．So it may be difficult to get a word in.

F．Practice English through phone calls.

G．Never fear, though!

Parents have started to notice many benefits associated with online math and reading tutoring services. Both conventional and online tutoring offers children academic help. 1. . Here's why.

Online tutoring, much like conventional tutoring, helps a student complete difficult assignments, and is geared toward(使适合) improving grades. This method, however, allows your children to master their studies from the convenience of home, making it more convenient for both children and parents who have a busy schedule. Since the Internet is probably already one of your children's favorite activities, working education programs into their online time is easier than convincing them to apply traditional face to face methods. 2. .These abilities are essential in today's world.

Online tutoring also enables very individualized programs and plans. Often, people believe online tutoring is designed for the masses. 3. . Beyond that, they often accommodate your children's learning speed. Not all children learn at the same rate, and feeling rushed means that important lessons are not mastered. Online tutoring eliminates that worry because children advance when they're ready, not when a tutor suggests its time.

4. . Students who are not self-motivated may use study time for surfing the Internet. Others need the more hands-on learning approach offered by one-on-one sessions.

So, how do you truly identify whether online tutoring is right for you and your child? 5. . If this method is not effective, contact a local tutor or tutoring center.

A. The online method is increasing in popularity, however.

B. The only way is to give it a try.

C. Online tutoring may not be for everyone, however.

D. Learning these requirements early will help to ensure future success.

E. However, most online tutoring programs are personally designed to match each child.

F. The conveniences of a home-based program are more important than your child's education.

G. Participating in online programs also enhances students' online research techniques and typing skills.

Two recent studies have found that punishment is not the best way to influence behavior.

One showed that adults are much more cooperative if they work in a system based on rewards. Researchers at Harvard University in the United States and the Stockholm School of Economics in Sweden did the study.

They had about two hundred college students play a version of the game known as the Prisoner’s Dilemma. The game is based on the tension between the interests of an individual and a group. The students played in groups of four. Each player could win points for the group, so they would all gain equally. But each player could also reward or punish each of the other three players. Harvard researcher David Rand says the most successful behavior proved to be cooperation. The groups that rewarded the most earned about twice as much in the game as the groups that rewarded the least. And the more a group punished itself, the lower its earnings. The study appeared last month in the journal Science.

The other study involved children. It was presented last month in California at a conference on violence and abuse. Researchers used intelligence tests given to two groups. More than eight hundred children were aged two to four the first time they were tested. More than seven hundred children were aged five to nine. The two groups were retested four years later, and the study compared the results with the first test. Both groups contained children whose parents used physical punishment and children whose parents did not.

The study says the IQs of the younger children who were not spanked were five points higher than those who were. In the older group, the difference was almost three points. The more they are spanked, the slower their mental development.

1.Which of the following is TRUE according to the second study?

A. Children’s IQs have much to do with physical punishment.

B. The study is about violence and cooperation of children.

C. The children tested were divided into groups of four.

D. Children’s mental development only relies on their IQs.

2. What does the underlined word “spanked” refer to?

A. punished B. blamed C. tested D. praised

3.What might be the best title for the text?

A. The Best Way to Correct Misbehavior

B. Punishment Is the Best Way of Education

C. Cooperation Is the Most Successful Behavior

D. Punishment or Reward: Which Works Better on Behavior?

Eat like a king in the morning, a prince at noon, and a peasant at night. This saying is all about the importance of breakfast. And now scientists can tell us just why it’s so important. According to a study carried out at Imperial College London, UK, skipping the first meal of the day not only means you eat more at lunch, but also that your brain wants to find more unhealthy foods.

The study suggests that there is a special part of our brain called the orbitofrontal cortex (眶额皮层), which plays an important part in making choices about what we eat. It is used for identifying the taste of food, especially when skipping breakfast. It is more likely to target high-calorie foods when you’re on an empty stomach.

Scientists did an experiment on this. Dr Tony Goldstone from Imperial College London, scanned (扫描) the brains of 21 men and women, around the age of 25. On the first day, these people skipped breakfast before the scans. On the second day, they had cereal (谷物), bread and jam as breakfast. After the scan on both days, they had their lunch.

When the volunteers had skipped breakfast, they ate around 20 percent more at lunch, compared with days when they had eaten breakfast. Their brain scans also showed the orbitofrontal cortex was especially responsive to high-calorie foods. “We believe that bit identifies the value of foods – how pleasant, how delicious something is,” Goldstone told The Guardian.

1.From Paragraph 1, we learn that _____.

A. scientists found out why eating breakfast is important

B. it’s easy to lose weight without breakfast

C. there’s no need to have good food for supper

D. eating breakfast makes your brain smarter

① The volunteers skipped breakfast.

② The volunteers had lunch.

③ The volunteers had a brain scan.

3.Which of the following is NOT true about the orbitofrontal cortex?

A. It is part of our brain.

B. It tells people to eat breakfast.

C. It decides which food we like.

D. It is active toward high-calorie foods.

4.Which of the following can be the title for this passage?

A. Breakfast still most important

B. Three meals a day

C. Experiments on breakfast

D. Researches on lunch
