阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填一个单词。

Good communication is vital in modern society. We know that much of the communication is unspoken. Consciously or unconsciously, we show our true feelings with our eyes, faces, bodies and attitudes. Your good qualities can make good communication. The personal qualities include: physical appearance, energy, rate of speech, pitch and tone of voice, gestures, expressiveness of eyes, and the ability to hold the interest of others.

What should we do so that our communication will be effective? Here are my suggestions.

Firstly, you should be yourself. The trick is to be consistently you, at your best. The most effective people never change character from one situation to another. They’re the same whether they’re having a conversation with their close friends, addressing their garden club or being interviewed for a job. They communicate with their whole being.      

Secondly, whether you’re talking to one person or one hundred, always remember to look at them. Don’t break eye contact while talking. As you enter a room, move your eyes comfortably, then look directly at those in the room and smile. This shows clearly that you are at ease. Smiling is important. The best type of smile and eye contact is gentle and comfortable, not forced.

You should also absorb other people before showing yourself. You can’t learn anything when you talk. When you attend a meeting, a party or an interview, don’t immediately start throwing your opinions. Stop for a second. Absorb what’s going on. What’s the mood of the others—are they down, up, happy, expectant? Are they eager to learn from you, or do they show resistance? If you can sense what’s happening with others, you will be better able to reach them. So, listen before you talk.

The fourth suggestion is that you focus your energy. How do you get your energy up? Before the meeting, collect your thoughts about the goal of the meeting—yours and the other’s. Once you go through the doorway, no longer think about yourself. Focus on the person you are meeting to find out what he is interested in. Properly collected energy comes across when we sincerely believe something. When you speak with energy, you are involved with your audience and your message. You create an air of certainty. The audience may disagree with you, but they can’t question your belief.

Lastly, I would like to remind you that you should lighten up. Take a good hard look at your self. Do you say “I” too often? Are you only concentrated on your own problems? Do you complain frequently? If you answered yes to even one of these questions, you need to be more relaxed.

Normally a student must attend a certain number of courses in order to graduate, and each course which he attends gives him a credit which he may count towards a degree, In many American universities the total work for a degree consists of thirty-six courses,  each lasting for one semester. A typical course consists of three classes per week for fifteen weeks; a student will probably attend four or five courses during each term while attending a university. Normally a student may expect to take four years attending two semesters each year. Of course, they can work for the degree over a longer period. It is also possible for a student to move between one university and another during his degree course, though this is not in fact done as a regular practice.                

Every course that the student takes will be given a grade, which is recorded, and the record is available for the student to show to prospective (未来的)employers. All this imposes a constant pressure and strain of work on students. But in spite of this some students still spare their time to take part in the student affairs. Elections to positions in student organizations arouse much enthusiasm. The effective work of maintaining discipline is usually performed by students who advise the academic authorities. Any student who is thought to have broken the rules, for example, by cheating, has to appear before a student court. with the enormous numbers of students, the operation of the system does include a certain number of activities. A student who has held one of these positions of authority is much respected and it will be of benefit to him later in his career.

 we all know that eveyone becomes a little more forgetful as they get older, but men’s minds decline more than women’s, according to the results of a worldwide survey.

General differences seem to be inherent in male and female brains: men are better at maintaining and dealing with mental images ( useful in mathematical reasoning and spatial (空间的)skills), while women tend to excel (擅长) at recalling information from their brain’s files. Many studies have looked for a connection between sex and the amount of mental decline people experience as they age, but the results have been mixed. Some studies found more age-related decline in men than in women, while others saw the opposite or even no relationship at all between sex and mental decline. Those results could be improper because the studies involved older people, and women live longer than men: The men testd are the survivors, “ so they’re the ones that may not have shown such cognitive （认知的）decline,” said study team leader Elizabeth of the University of Warwick in English.

People surveyed completed four tasks that tested sex-related cognitive skills: matching an object to its rotated (旋转的) form, matching lines shown from the same angle, typing as many words in a particular category as possible in the given time, e.g. “ object usually colored gray”, and recalling the location of objects in a line drawing. The first two were tasks at which men usually excel; the latter are typically dominated by women. Within each age group studied, men and woen performed better in their separate categories on average. And though performance declined with age for both genders, women showed obviously less decline than men overall.

A. natural     B. great      C. exact        D. absolute

65. According to the passage, which of the following can Not be typed into the same category?

A. Men do better than women when it comes to learning English.

B. Women stand out at remembering people’s names.

C. Men excell at typing as many words in a particular category as possible in the given time.

D. Women excel at dealing mathematic problem.

67. One important factor that affects the correctness of the results is that _______.

A. the old men tested may not have shown such cognitive decline.

B. people surveyed are all old.

C. people taking part in this test came from all over the world.

D. women live longer than men.

It was Friday, the day of the field trip on which Miss Joan would take her class to pick apples.

Miss Joan enjoyed picking apples with her students. She smiled as she led her students to the bus that would take them to the Greenly Apple Orchard（果园）.

The bus ride was bumpy(颠簸的) and the kids were a little noisy, but still Miss Joan was smiling.

The bus stopped in front of the Greenly Apple Orchard and the class got off quickly and quietly. Miss Joan made sure everyone was there. “What a glorious, sunny, apple picking day,” Miss Joan announced with her grandest smile.

Mr. Greenly was there to greet them. “Let’s see, there are eighteen children and two adults at three dollars each. That will be sixty dollars, please.”

Miss Joan held up the brochure in her hand. “It says that the price is two dollars each,” she pointed out. “That’s what I collected from everyone.”

“We’ve had to raise the price,” Mr. Greenly stated.

“You sent me this brochure after we made our reservation,” Miss Joan complained, “and it says two dollars!”

“Miss Joan, if you look at the bottom of this brochure,” Mr. Greenly said, “you’ll notice very important statement.”

Sure enough, in very tiny letters, it said, “Prices are subject to change without notice.”

Miss Joan was determined to keep her good mood. She took a twenty dollars bill out of her own purse and handed it to Mr. Greenly with the forty dollars she had in an envelope.

“Now children, do you all have your baskets?” Miss Joan called out. “Remember, each of you can pick as many apples as possible.”

Mr. Greenly said, “You can’t pick as many apples as possible.”

“I beg your pardon!” Miss Joan was not smiling now. “The brochure says, ‘ALL YOU CAN PICK’!”

Mr. Greenly pointed to the tiniest letters Miss Joan had ever almost seen. It also says, “Terms(条款) and conditions of group reservations are subject to change without notice.”

Miss Joan’s good mood was now history. She didn’t want to set a bad example for her students, so she said in a calm and quiet voice, “We’re going home, give me our money back, please.”
