All my former classmates like our old classroom because three side of the classroom were made from glass. I enjoyed sit close to the windows and looking at the view. On the left-hand side of the class, I could easy see the football field. In the mornings, it was full of students exercising. The view from the back of the classroom is also splendid. Close to the school there was a beautiful park with many trees around them. Farther in the distance, I could not enjoy the view of snowy mountains. On the right side of the class was the road. I was always interested to see the drivers in hurry in the morning. The position of the classroom with its view made me felt like I was dreaming. If I was only a child when I studied in that classroom, I will never forget it.

One hot night last August, I tried everything I could think of — toys, songs etc. to make him fall into sleep, but he just couldn’t do it. Since I believed that a long night was waiting for me ahead, I had no choice but to bring a TV into his room to kill off the hours until dawn. I was surprised that the moment I turned on the TV the baby became quiet right away and fixed his little eyes brightly on the screen. Not willing to waste an opportunity for sleep, I then tiptoed(蹑手蹑脚地行进) out of the room, leaving him to watch the boring TV programs. I heard no more of the baby’s crying that night and the next morning when I went into his room, I found him still watching TV by himself. I found there was a metaphor(暗喻) in my baby’s behavior(行为) for the new generation. When I gave my boy some books to go over, he only spit upon them; when I read to him, he did not feel comfortable. And so it is in the schools with my students. I find that our students don’t read and they look down upon reading and make light of those of us who teach it. All they want to do is watch TV. After this experience with the baby, however, I have drawn a conclusion: “Let them watch it!” If television is that much more attractive to children than books, why should we fight against it? Let them watch what they want！

1. Why did the father bring a TV set into his son’s room?

A. To enjoy some interesting programs together with his son.

B. To help himself pass the long hours ahead of him.

C. To help his son fall asleep sooner.

D. To keep his son from making noises.

2.The baby seemed to be ______ at the sight of the TV set.

A. excited B. surprised C. bored D. pleased

3.This experience with his baby helped the father ______.

A. to know his baby better

B. to know better how to educate his students

C. to change his opinions towards TV

D. to know better about the new generation

Having a shy style isn’t necessarily a problem. It’s perfectly OK to take time to warm up new people and situations. Here are some tips for beating shy feelings.

Start small with people you know. Practice social behaviors like eye contact, confident body language, introductions, small talk, asking questions, and invitations with the people you feel most comfortable around. Smile. Build your confidence this way. 1. .

Rehearse(排练) what to say. 3. . Rehearse it out loud, maybe even in front of the mirror. Then just do it. Don’t worry if it’s not exactly like you have practiced or if it’s not perfect. Also few of the things confident people do are perfect. Next time, it’ll be better because it will be easier.

_4. . Find group activities where you can be with people who share your interests. Give yourself a chance to practice socializing (社交) with these new people, and get to know them slowly. People who are shy often worry about failing or how others will think about them. So treat yourself like your own best friend. Encourage yourself instead of expecting to fail.

Most of all, be yourself. It’s OK to try out different conversational ways you see others use. _5. . Being the real you and daring to let yourself be noticed are what attract friends.
