Your mind like your body is a thing where the powers are developed by effort．This is a principal use, as I see it，of hard work in studies．Unless you train your body you can’t be a good sportsman, and unless you train. your mind you can’t be much of a scholar．The four miles a boatman covers at top speed is in itself nothing to the good．but the physical capacity to hold out over the distance is thought to be of some value．So a good part of what you learn by hard study may not be kept forever．and may not seem to be of much final value．but your mind is a better and more powerful instrument because you have learned it．“Knowledge is power，”but still more the ability of obtaining and using knowledge is power．If you have a trained and powerful mind，you are certain to have stored it with something．its value is more in what it can do, what it can grasp and use，than in what it contains; and if it were possible，as it is not．to come out of college with a trained mind and nothing useful in it．you would still be ahead．and still, in manner, educated．

“Confidence” is probably one of the most noticeable traits(品质)in the Americans. They show confidence in the way they talk, the way they smile, the way they dress and the way they walk. Living and competing with all these confidence American students, I find it extremely important to be confident as an international student and instructor. As a student, being confident means you should never hesitate to raise your hand whenever a question or a point comes to your mind. Don’t mind if it sounds simple or silly. Otherwise you will never get a chance to speak in class at all. What’s worse, the professors may think you are not prepared for the discussion or you do not have your own opinion on the issue-this is the last comment any graduate would like to receive。

Being confidence for me as a foreign instructor means calmly asking the student to repeat what he or she has said if I did not get it. Pretending to understand what you actually did not may just bring yourself embarrassment or even disgrace. But the time I most need to be confident is when my students come to my office and bargain about the grades I have given for their Speeches。(The course I’m teaching here is Public Speaking). Modesty is a trait highly valued in China, but it won’t be of much help here if you want to survive and succeed in a good American graduate program．

1.To compete with American students it’s very important to

A．be quite confident

3.The author is most likely to feel embarrassed if

A．he asks a student to repeat what he has said

4.We learn from the second paragraph that

A．we should also remain modest in America

5.What can we infer from the passage?

B．The writer teaches in Europe for a living.

C．Students are encouraged to present simple questions.

D．One’s ignorance will give away in time.

Are you the type of person who always says“yes”？I’ve come to learn that it is very im-portant to learn to say NO！It’s okay. People are still going to like you. They may even respect you more because they know you are honest.

I，m not saying to say“no" to someone who really needs your help. I’m talking about re-fusing that meeting that you really do not want to attend or that birthday party that you don’t want to be a guest at.

Think for a moment how you feel when you say YES to something that you really don’t want to do. If you’re like I once was，you can’t sleep at night and you think about it too much. It weighs on your mind. You try to find ways out. Whatever you’re saying to yourself，if you really wanted to go，you wouldn’t have all of these thoughts.

So，why not just say NO from the beginning? Maybe you feel like if you don’t show up at the meeting（by the way，it is not one you must attend) your boss isn’t going to like you or your co-workers won’t respect you. Maybe you feel as if your mom，dad or sisters won’t love you as much if you don’t do everything for them that they ask every occasion.

If these people are your true friends，family members，or a good boss，they will like or love you the same no matter what. People treat you the way you teach them to，and if you’re some-one who always says“yes" then that’s what they，re expecting.

You need to do what is right for you. Of course we do have real obligations in life to ful-fill，but we do not have to do everything others want us to do.

1.Which of the following statements would the writer agree with？

A．We should try to do what our friends ask us to do.

B．We should help others in need.

C．Always saying“yes" means you are dishonest.

D．Always saying“no" means you are brave.

2.What does the underlined word，’ It" in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A．Saying "yes"．

B．A friend's birthday party.

C．Something you’re unwilling to do.

D．Something you think difficult to do.

3.The writer believes that if you say“no" to your family members，you’11＿·

A．have the same relationship with them as before

B．have a loose relationship with them

C．disappoint them

D．upset them

4.What would be the best title for the passage?

Having one of those days—or weeks—when everything seems to annoy you? Even if you do nothing about it, your bad mood （心情）will probably go away after some time. But with a little effort, you can forget it much faster, often within a day or two.

Walk it off

Exercise is the most popular bad-mood buster. A person who’s in a bad mood has low energy and high tension. Taking a fast ten-minute walk, or taking some quick exercise can do wonders towards changing that bad mood.

Tune it out

Listening to your favorite music for a while can also make tensions go away quickly, because music starts associations with past positive experiences we’ve had.

Give yourself a pep talk

Stop and listen to what’s on your mind. Bad moods are often started by too many negative thoughts. Write them all down on paper, including the pessimistic（悲观的）messages you’ve been giving yourself and then give optimistic answers.（“I still don’t have a job.” Vs” I have two interviews next week.”）

Reduce your stress

Relaxation techniques are wonderful mood-lifters. There include de3ep breathing, stretching and visualizing, all of which sound complicated(复杂的)but aren’t. One easy way to visualize, close your eyes and picture a favorite place, such as the beach. Another simple way to unhappiness is to make a to-do list. One reason for being in a bad mood is feeling you have no options. By taking control over certain areas, you realize you’re not helpless. You can make changes in your mood and life.

Avoid things that won’t improve your mood

TV may not help much: you need to increase your energy level and stimulate（刺激）your mind-something that the TV show “Neighbors” won’t do. And before you reach for that piece of cake and coffee, think about how mood and food are linked. Sugar and caffeine contribute to depressed moods. The better choice? Research shows that carbohydrates, such as potatoes and pasta(面食), produce a calming effect on people who have a desire for them.

1.Which of the following may help us stop a bad mood?

A．Draw a picture of something complicated．	B．Put more sugar into your coffee．
C．Writing down negative thoughts．	D．look ahead and write something positive．

2.Why is it suggested that you close your eyes and picture the beach?

A．It helps raise your spirits．	B．It brings us a new technique．
C．It is not complicated to do so．	D．It is an area to be easily controlled．

3.What can we infer from the passage?

A．You don’t have to be nice to your neighbors	B．you often feel powerful when in bad mood
C．Some TV shows won’t energize you	D．Slow exercise can gets you out of bad mood

4.Which would be the best title for this passage?

A．How to Beat a Bad Mood	B．Energy Level and Stress
C．Bad Mood and Our Life	D．How to Control Your Feeling

Here are a few tips we’ve put together to help you learn English well.

Speak, speak, speak!

Practise speaking as often as you can—even speaking to yourself is good practice. Try recording yourself whenever you can. Compare your pronunciation with the master version, see how you can do better and have another try. If you do this several times, you will find that each version is better than the last.

Why not learn with someone else?

It helps if you can learn with someone else. If you can persuade a friend or family member to study with you, it will make you keep working. Agree times to meet and set goals for the week, and test each other regularly.

Don’t get stuck by a word you don’t know

Practise improvising (即兴的) ways of getting your meaning across while speaking spontaneously (本能), even if you don’t know the exact words or phrases. Think of things you might want to say whenever you have spare time. A basic example is the use of tenses. If you don’t know the past tense but want to talk about yesterday, use the verb in the present tense and use the word for “yesterday”. Use facial expressions, hand movements, anything to get your meaning across.

Language learning is also about intuition (直觉)

Guesswork is important in learning a new language. When listening to recorded material, you aren’t expected to understand everything first time round. If you play the same piece several times, you will most probably understand something new each time. Learn to make maximum use of all the clues you can pick up. For example, what do the speakers sound like? Happy? Angry? Calm? Etc.

Build up your vocabulary

A wide vocabulary is the key to successful language learning but don’t try to learn too much at once. It’s best to study frequently, for short periods of time. Take a maximum of six or seven items of vocabulary and learn them. Put them into sentences to fix them in your mind, then come back to them later. Much of the vocabulary in the course is presented by topic.

And above all, have fun!
