9.When you meet people for the first time it's always nice to make eye contact and smile.It's a simplecourtesy and leads to a relaxed conversation.If you tend to be a shy person,this may be somewhat difficult for you.You may tend to look down or away when greeting someone.This can break the conversation right away.
In his book,How to connect in business in 90 seconds or less,Nicholas Boothman offers a really simple solution to the problem.When you meet or greet someone for the first time,just make a mental note of their eye color.This simple technique is amazingly effective.If you are looking for their eye color you'll make eye contact for a second or two.
I have found this works well one by one and is also effective in small groups.It really helps build rapport(密切关系)when giving a speech or presentation as it lets the audience member know that you are paying attention to them.
I speak quite often to groups of 10~20 people in Toastmasters.When I use this technique to make eye contact as I scan the room,I pause just long enough to build rapport with each audience member.
When you first try this you may find yourself saying blue,green,brown,etc in your mind,but you'll find it soon becomes natural and is an easy habit to develop.It's a simple exercise but you'll notice the difference right away.
Try it in you r next small group speech or presentation.Instead of an impersonal gaze over the room,
if you make eye contact,you'll find that you'll build almost instant rapport with your audience.They will pay better attention to what you are saying and it may keep them awake.

8.For many young people,adulthood means being ordinary and struggling under a lot of responsibilities.
"Being an adult is no fun,"says Katrina,an 18-year-old girl from Munich who refused to give her full name."As an adult you're no longer funny-you're a serious person.Adults stop going to parties every weekend.They wear normal clothes and have to think a lot."
Generally speaking,an adult is seen largely as someone able and ready to take over responsibility for his or her life.An adult should also be able to form relationships and to get on well in groups.Money independence is important too:Being an adult means being able to run a household and earn a living.The law states quite simply that at 18 a person becomes an adult,but that may have little to do with the person's own belief.
   US author,Robert W.Bly,commented about the same problem in his 1997 book,The Sibling Society:"Adults return to adolescence; and adolescents have no desire to become adults."He is concerned about the loss of appropriate adult role models and the broken lines of communication between the generations.This results in immature behaviour and a generation of"half adults".
   Another decisive factor in the growing-up process is the act of leaving the parental home."Mothers especially find it difficult to let go of their children,"says Bly."Young people with a close relationship to their mothers often feel themselves unable,even at the age of 20,to make it alone."
Another possible cause for anxiety at getting older is the youth culture in our society.Youthfulness is associated with performance,and only those who perform are worth anything.The repetition in the press and advertising contributes to this idea."If you are young,attractive and dynamic,you'll make it in this society."No wonder that getting older causes anxiety.

29.It can be inferred from Bly's words thatB.
A.Adults usually go back to their youth.
B.Without proper adult role models,you'll behave immaturely
C.You can succeed if you are young and attractive.
D.Young people always have a close relationship.
30.It can be concluded from the last paragraph thatB.
A.The youth culture plays a part in the worry of the young about getting older.
B.The mass media greatly value the young people.
C.To be young,you'll have to show good performance.
D.Leaving the parental home is necessary for you to grow up.
31.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?C.
A.Advantages of young people         
B.Disadvantages of being adults
C.Anxieties of young people           
D.Youths fear adulthood.
6.For centuries,everybody knows(61)laughter(laugh) is the best medicine.Besides bringing joy,the doctor also believes that laughter helps release stress,which is the cause(62)ofmany diseases.
    The celebration of World Laughter Day is(63)meant(mean) to bring good health,joy and world peace.It is a special day that can(64)be celebrated(celebrate)annually by anyone on the first Sunday of May.All people need to do is laugh aloud and wildly.The fun event was started(65)byIndian physician,Dr,Madan Kataria.
    His attempt to make the world a happier place(66)began(begin) in 1995,with the introduction of Laughter Yoga,a fitness class (67)wherepeople practice breathing exercise and uncontrolled laughter.
(68)Thoughonly five students attended the first class,this fun way of exercising soon began to spread and in a short time it began to be held in more than 70 countries around the world.
    Members get together every day or twice a week to exercise by simply laughing out loud,waving their hands and making funny faces each other to keep the laughing going.
    In 1998,in an attempt to spread the laughter to every person,the physician declared the first Sunday of every May World Laughter Day.Not(68)surprisingly(surprise),it became an instant hit.To make it more fun,Dr.Kararia suggested(70)organizing(organize) the celebrations in public places so that other people could join in.Some even awarded prizes to participants who could perform this feat in natural and effortless way.
