1．(1)Handwritten thank-you letters are such a simple way of making other people feel good．However.it——青夏教育精英家教网—

1．（1）Handwritten thank-you letters are such a simple way of making other people feel good．However，it is strange that so few people write them anymore．At work，a thank-you letter to employees is incredibly effective．It costs little and has no side effects．The effort involved in writing letters is very low．However，the pleasure on receiving them__________．This makes them an excellent way to reward and motivate staff．
（2）Doug Conant，chief executive of Campbell's Soup Company since 2001，knows the power of thank-you letters．In a recent blog for the Harvard Business Review，he said that every day he works with an assistant，combing the company for people deserving thank．He then writes them a thank-you letter．Over the past 10 years he has sent 30，000 thank-you letters to his employees-more than 10 each day．Readers of the blog seem impressed："Doug，What an inspiring post！Positive，genuine response is uplifting（令人开心的）…"writes one blogger．
（3）But if these letters are so uplifting，why don't more chief executives write them？There seems to be three reasons．Firstly，chief executives running companies think their own work is more valuable than that of others．Since no one ever writes them thank-you letters they don't write any themselves．Secondly，they aren't close enough to the business to know who deserves thanks．Thirdly，they have forgotten the strange human truth that almost everyone would do almost anything in return for a simple pat on the back．
76．Fill in the blank in Paragraph 1 with proper words．（no more than 3 words）
is very high．
77．What does Doug Conant do with an assistant every day？（no more than 15 words）
He combs the company for people deserving thanks and writes them thank-you letters．
78．Why does the writer give the example of Doug Conant in Paragraph 2？（no more than 10 words）To show thank-you letters are effective．
79．What's the main idea of Paragraph 3？（no more than 8 words）Reasons why chief executives don't write thank-you letters．
80．Do you like receiving handwritten thank-you letters？Why？（no more than 10 words）Yes，I do．Because they make me feel good/uplifting．
Or：No，I don't Because…．

20．It is essential to our children's development that they are provided with life skills．It is of great importance that our children should be taught basic life skill lessons in order to live the life they dream of as they enter adulthood．
    How we teach youth life skills is the focus of this article．We will explore and share life skill lessons with you so that the time you spend with each child is more productive and moves them to take positive action．
    What should be included in a youth life skills program？
    1）Financial literacy（理财素养）．Financial literacy training can improve every aspect of a child's life．Studies show that people that have developed financial literacy skills are healthier，have better relationships，and have more confidence．Financial literacy training is the foundation which all the other youth life skills can build on and support．
    2）Relationships．Children need to understand the importance of encouraging relationships and develop the skills to maintain positive relationships．One key part of developing positive relationships is the ability to communicate effectively．This is a life skill that will not only benefit （使受益）their friendships but will help them in their careers as well．
  3）Strengths development．It is important for adults to focus on the strengths of their children and help them to take their strengths to the next level．For most，what we are good at is also what we enjoy doing．Make your youth life skill program one that helps them follow their passions and build upon the strengths they have developed while growing up．
   The focus of youth skills programs is recognizing students'potential and providing them with the proper tools to enable them to develop their skill sets．You are helping to open up windows of opportunity for them and encouraging them throughout the process by making them feel worthy．
   The goal of youth life skill programs is to help our children grow into responsible adults．Children cannot grow into the wonderful human beings they are meant to be when they are shut down，turned away and ignored．They need the proper guidance that will enable them to feel proud of their achievements．They also need the opportunity to express themselves in an environment that is willing to listen to them and to help them as well．There is only so much they can stand on their own； the rest is up to the adults that play important roles in their lives．
1．What is important for children to learn according to the article？Life skill lessons．
2．Who do you think the article is written to，students or teachers？Teachers．
3．What can children benefit from financial literacy skills？Good health，better relationships and more confidence．
4．How can we encourage children to keep learning the life skill course？By making them feel worthy．
5．What do children need so that they can learn to stand on their own？Proper guidance，and the opportunity to express themselves．．

18．[1]Whatever goals you're working towards in life，whatever dreams you have，you'll want to give yourself the best possible chance of success．Here are you can do to actually increase the possibility of reaching your dreams or goals．
[2]1．Get Help and Support
Having a bit of help or simply some friendly support from family，friends or workmates can make a difference．It might be your parents taking care of the kids for a few hours so you can work on your book，or your best friend might come over at the weekend to bring you some valuable suggestions．
[3]2．Write Down Your Goals
Whatever you're planning to do，write it down．Put it up somewhere you'll see regularly，perhaps on a small card in your wallet．It's easy to let days go by without working on any of your goals，but a written card will help you keep it in mind．Writing your goals down is also a great way to truly carry them out．
[4]3．Break Big Projects into Little Steps
Your goals are almost certainly too big to deal with in a day or even a week：you're going to be working at them over several months or even years．Importantly，break down each goal or project into small steps and pick only one or two items to work on at a time．
[5]4．Be Confident
As you're working towards your goal，you might find yourself thinking things like"I'll never be successful，so I might as well give up"．Replace these voices with more encouraging messages such as"I know I can reach my goal successfully．"

76．What would be a proper title for the passage？（no more than 6words）
Ways to reach your goals successfully/How to achieve your goals successfully/Powerful ways to reach success．

17．[1]The word advertising refers to any kind of public announcement that brings products and services to the attention of people．Throughout history，advertising has been a good way to promote （促进） the trading and selling of goods．In the Middle Ages，businessmen employed"town criers"to read public messages aloud to promote their goods．When printing was invented in the 15^th century，pages of advertisements could be printed easily and were either hung in public places or put in books．
[2]By the end of the 17^th century，when newspapers were beginning to be read by more people，printed materials became an important way to promote products and services．The London Gazette was the first newspaper to set aside a place just_____________________．This was so successful that by the end of the century several companies started businesses for the purpose of making newspaper ads．
[3]Advertising spread quickly throughout the 18^th century．Ad writers were starting to pay more attention to the design of the ad text．Everything，from clothes to drinks，was promoted with clever methods such as words organized in eye-catching patterns，the use of pretty pictures and expressions easy to remember．They were successful in helping advertising develop quickly．
[4]Near the end of the 19^th century，companies that were devoted to the production of ads came to be known as"advertising agencies （广告商）"．The agencies developed new ways to get people to think of themselves as members of a group．Throughout the 20^th century，advertising agencies spread the belief that people could be happy only if they bought the"right"products．

16．[1]Freezing weather can mean frostbite（冻伤）and hypothermia（体温过低）unless a person is prepared．Today we talk about how to stay warm，dry and safe．
[2]Frostbite is damage that happens when skin is exposed to extreme cold for too long．It mainly happens on the hands，feet，nose and ears． If deeper tissue is affected，a person is likely to feel pain every time the area gets cold．Hypothermia is a condition that develops when the body cannot produce as much heat as it：releases．Signs of hypothermia include uncontrollable shakin9，very slow breathing and difficulty thinking dearly．
[3]To avoid cold-related injuries，here is a simple way to remember four basic steps to staying warm．Think of COLD-C．O．L．D．
[4]The C stands for cover．Wear a hat and scarf to keep heat from escaping through the head，neck and ears．And wear mittens（连指手套）instead of gloves．
[5]The O stands for overexertion（用力过度）．Avoid activities that will make you sweaty．Wet clothes and cold weather are a dangerous combination．
[6]L is for layers．Wearing loose，lightweight clothes，one layer on top of another，is better than wearing a single heavy layer of clothing．
[7]D is for dry．In other words，stay as dry as possible．Pay attention to the places where snow can enter clothing．These include the tops of boots，the necks of coats and the wrist areas of mittens or gloves．
[8]And here ale two other things to keep in mind-one for children andthe other for adults/one for adults（grown-ups）．Eating snow might be fun but it lowers the body's temperature．And drinking alcohol might make a person feel warm．But what it really does is weaken the body's ability to hold heat．

76．For what purpose did the writer write this passage？（no more than l5words）To tell us how to keep warm in cold/freezing weather．To offer advice on how to avoid cold-related injuriesTo tell us the ways to keep/stay warm in cold/freezing weatherTo let us know how to…
77．List two signs of hypothermia．①Uncontrollable shaking ②very slow breathing ③difficulty in thinking clearly（写出三项中任意两项均可）

80．Translate the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2into Chinese．一旦/如果深层组织受损，每当天气变冷时，人们就可能感觉到疼痛．．

15．[1]A life of overdrinking，tiredness and laziness may be enough to earn your doctor's disapproval，but there is one last hope：a repeat prescription of mates and good conversation．A circle of close friends and strong family ties can improve a person's health more than exercise，losing weight or quitting cigarettes and alcohol，psychologists say．
[2]Sociable people seem ________________ from their relationships by feeling less stressed，taking better care of themselves and having less risky lifestyles than those who are much lonelier，they claim．A review of studies into the impact of relationships on health found that people had a 50% better survival rate if they belonged to a wider social group no matter it was friends，neighbors，relatives or a mix of these．
[3]The striking impact of social connections on health has led researchers to call on health officials to take loneliness as seriously as other health risks，such as alcoholism and smoking．"We take relationships for granted as humans，"said Julianne Holt-Lunstad，a psychologist at Brigham Young University in Utah．"That constant interaction is not only beneficial psychologically but directly to our physical health．"
[4]Holt-Lunstad's team reviewed 148 studies that tracked the social interactions and health of 308，849 people over an average of 7.5 years．Holt-Lunstad said friends and family can improve health in a great many ways，from help in tough times to finding meaning in life．When someone is connected to a group and feels responsibility to other people，that sense of purpose and meaning translates to taking better care of themselves and taking fewer risks．Holt-Lunstad said there was no clear figure on how many relationships are enough to improve a person's health，but people did enjoy better health when they rarely felt lonely and were close to a group of friends，had good family contact and had someone they could rely on．

12．【1】A lot of people can really struggle with knowing how to make small talk．There are a few small talk topics that should never let you down，whatever situation you are in：
【2】Your surroundings should provide you with something to talk about．Whatever you're doing you are in the same situation with the person to whom you are speaking，so there is common ground there．Even if you are only queuing up for the coffee machine you can _________ how long the line of people is，or about how you should drink less coffee or whatever．Aim for a casual but pleasant attitude．
【3】People appreciate it if you ask about them in a friendly manner，so you could always try asking them how their day has been so far．Even in a store you might ask the cashier if they have been busy today．It's a good，simple ice-breaker and will often lead to other person to open up，even if it costs just a little．
