Question

【题目】What do we really mean by being open? Being open is a kind of invitation to others to come in, to speak and to share. It’s important to let others get to know how we think and feel. In this way we will be understood and accepted by others. If we aren’t open with others, we won’t fully believe in ourselves or others.

Here are a few ways for you to be more open. First, make your outside behavior the same as your inside feelings and thoughts. Second, share how you really feel about something instead of just opinions. Third, try to change your questions into statements and talk in the first person so that it will be easier for people to understand. For example, you might say, “I feel happy that you’re here.” Instead of “ Are you glad that you’re here ?”

Remember also that it is not suitable to be open with everyone in every situation. You may want to be more open with close friends, but not with people you don’t know well, because you are not sure how someone else will use what they know about you. Besides, some people may not be used to too much openness. If we say everything we feel and think to them, they will feel very comfortable at times.

In all, being open is a good way for us to get on well with other people, we’d better keep the balance between being open and not being too open.

【解析】

试题分析：本文采用夹叙夹议的方式来描述在生活中如何同别人交往：让别人进入我们的心间，交谈与分享，让别人知道我们的想法与感受。这样可以让我们被理解与接受。相互理解，相信、理解别人, 才会真正意义上相信你自己。并由此给出了一些合理的与人交往的建议。

【1】invitation to others, understand and accept由短文第一自然段第二句“Being open is a kind of invitation to others to come in, to speak and to share.”可知前句填：invitation to others；由短文第一自然段第四句“In this way we will be understood and accepted by others.”，通过这种方式，别人将会理解和接受我们的。本句用了被动语态而考查却使用了主动形式。注意动词的变化形式。所以后句填understand and accept。故填：invitation to others, understand and accept

【2】different from, instead题意：首先，不要让你的外在行为和你内心想法与感受不一样。其次，分享你对事物的真实想法而不仅仅是观点。由第二自然段第一条建议; “ First, make your outside behavior the same as your inside feelings and thoughts. Second, share how you really feel about something instead of just opinions.”可知：“表里如一”表达成：不要让外在与内心不一样，故前句填：different from；后句表示“而不”，句末，用instead。故填：different from, instead

【3】in the first person, more easily题意：第三，尽量不要提问，而是用第一人称陈述与交谈，以便别人更容易理解你。从文中的“Third, try to change your questions into statements and talk in the first person so that it will be easier for people to understand.”（第3，尽量把你的问题变成陈述并以第一人称的方式说出来，以便人们更容易理解。）可以知道，前句填“以第一人称”：in the first person；后句还是表达“更容易理解”，原句是连系动词be后用形容词，这句是修饰行为动词understand，用副词easily。故填：in the first person, more easily。

【4】close friends, what they know about you题意：不要对所有人放开一切，你可以对亲密朋友更开放，而不是你不了解的人，因为有人可能利用他们知道的你的东西。从短文第3自然段的“You may want to be more open with close friends, but not with people you don’t know well, because you are not sure how someone else will use what they know about you.”（你可以对亲密朋友更放开而不是你不了解的朋友。因为你不肯定其它人怎样处理他们知道的你的秘密。）可知，本题填：close friends, what they know about you。

【5】may not be used to , keep the balance题意：如果我们把我们的一切感受和想法向那些不习惯外向的人说出来。他们有时会感到不舒服。我们最好在外向与不外向之前保持平衡。由短文最后两自然段结合本题题意可知，本题填：may not be used to , keep the balance。
