题目内容

Angela Zou hardly writes text messages now. Sitting at her office desk, Zou asks her iPhone, where they should go to eat. When it buzzes seconds later, she lifts it to her ear for her friend's reply. The conversation goes back and forth through these pieces of words before they decide on the place for lunch.

Like millions of others across Asia, Zou is using WeChat, a smartphone app（应用程序）developed in China, to send voice messages, snapshots（快照）and emoticons（表情符号）to her friends. Now that its walkietalkie-style（对讲机式）messages have become everywhere, she said typing feels like hard work.

WeChat's popularity has grown quickly since it came into use in 2011. Tencent, the company that developed the app, announced in September that its users had doubled in six months to 200 million. Most users are in China, though WeChat is being used across Asia and already has users in the US and the UK.

Historically, it has proved difficult for Chinese internet firms to develop in foreign countries. But WeChat is becoming the first Chinese social media application with the possibility to go to the whole world.

WeChat is similar to the popular US-based mobile messaging service WhatsApp, but it does more. It comes in eight languages including English, Arabic and Russian.

"I used WhatsApp before I came back to China from studying abroad and found all my friends were using WeChat," said Zou, who is 25. "Now when I want to contact someone I use WeChat first." The app's features include Look Around, which allows users to chat to strangers nearby, while Moments works like Instagram（图片分享）.

Making mistakes

It’s good to make mistakes．And here’s why．

First of a11．mistakes are a clear sign that you are trying new things．It’s always good to try new things because when you’re trying new things you are growing．If you never try anything new,how can you improve and develop?The simple answer is,“You can’t.”

Another good thing about mistakes is this：When you are making mistakes，you are learning．Consider this：Edison failed 1 0,000 times— before he perfected the light bulb．When he was asked how it felt to fail that many times，he replied that he hadn’t failed 1 0,000 times，but rather had learned 10,000 things that didn’t work．

Finally,when you make a mistake，you are much closer to success．Why?Because every time you make a mistake，you are one step closer to success．But it doesn’t mean that you can make mistakes without thinking．Instead，when you try something new,you have to think it over，so that you can keep away from some unnecessary mistakes．

There is an old saying that goes．“If you are not making mistakes．you are not trying hard enough.’’ So go forward and make mistakes．And learn．And grow．And succeed．

Some people make you feel comfortable when they are around. You spend an hour with them and feel as if you have known them half your life. These people have something in common. And once we know what it is, we can try to do it ourselves.

How is it done? Here are several skills that good talkers have. If you follow the skills, they'll help people feel relaxed and make friends with them quickly.

First of all, good talkers ask questions. Almost anyone, no matter how shy he is, will answer a question. One well-known businesswoman says, "At business lunches, I always ask people what they did that morning. It's a common question, but it will get things going." From there you can move on to other matters—sometimes to really personal questions. And how he answers will let you know how far you can go.

Second, once good talkers have asked questions, they listen to the answers. This point seems clear, but it isn't. Your questions should have a point and help to tell what sort of person you are talking to. And to find out, you really have to listen carefully and attentively. Real listening at least means some things. First it means not to change the subject of conversation. If someone sticks to one topic, you can take it as a fact that he's really interested in it. Real listening also means not just listening to words, but to tones of voice. If the voice sounds dull, then, it's time for you to change the subject.

Finally, good talkers know well how to deal with the moment of parting. If you're saying good-bye, you may give him a firm handshake and say, "I've really enjoyed meeting you." If you want to see that person again, don't keep it a secret. Let people know what you feel, and they may walk away feeling as if they've known you half their life.

1.Asking questions might be a quite good and suitable way _______.

A. for you to make more and more new friends

B. to begin your business talks

C. to get the conversation going smoothly

D. for you to make a deep and lasting impression on others

2.After having asked somebody a question, it'll be polite of you to _______.

A. make clear what kind of person he is

B. listen to his reply attentively

C. wait quietly and patiently for his answer

D. go on asking him more questions

3.Generally speaking, good talkers are persons who _______.

A. are good at making any topic interesting

B. never talk too much or too little

C. always speak in a gentle way

D. know how and when they should change the topic of the talk

4.If you really want to meet someone again, _______.

A. you may take him as your lifelong true friend

B. it seems necessary for you to let him know it

C. it's proper for you to give him a second handshake

D. it'll be helpful for you to have further understanding of him

Some of the greatest problems we face today are the destruction (破坏) of our environ

-ment. Brown clouds, polluted water, endangered wild animals…, these problems seem so huge.

So my family does what we can. We take cloth bags to stores instead of using plastic bags. We walk where we don’t have to drive.

But does it do any good? When I am the only one in line at the market with cloth bags, am I doing any good? Does my walking to stores make any real difference to the world?

I recently learned something about flamingos (火烈鸟) which like to get together in groups of a thousand or more. Every year, when the time comes for migration (迁徙), a few of them first take off from the lake. But none of the others seem to notice, so the small group returns. However, the next day they try again. This time few more fly along with them, but most of them still pay no attention, so they return again. They try for several times. Every time a few more birds join in but, since the thousands of others still take no notice, the great migration plan once more stopped.

Then one day something changes. The same small group of birds once again starts flying and a small number more join in just as before, then more. Finally, they all take flight and the migration really begins. What a spectacular sight it must be—thousands of flamingos taking off into the sky at once!

A few can make a difference. Even if you’re the one to take the first step, and continue trying, others will someday take notice and together we will solve even our greatest problems.

1.Where would you most probably read this passage?

A. A guidebook.B. A movie poster.

3. What does the underlined word “spectacular” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?

A. Curious. B. Surprising.

C. Terrible. D. Fantastic.

4.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Even if we can walk there, we still drive over.

B. Flamingos like to get together in groups of a thousand or more.

C. Brown clouds and polluted water are the only problems we face today.

D. When a few of the flamingos first take off from the lake, all the others follow at once.

5.What’s the writer’s purpose of writing this article?

A. To show that the writer loves to see the migration of flamingos.

B. To tell readers to continue trying and it can make a difference.

C. To introduce a special kind of flamingo to readers.
