After six months of living in New Zealand, I realized one thing. Despite my  36   for greater contact with local students,  37   I initiated(开始) the contact, it wouldn’t happen. Local students are not interested in contacts with the international students, because they regard us as shy,  38    and sometimes snobby （势利的） people. Of course we know that’s not true. I want to change their opinions.

After  39     the problem, I put on my “confidence mask” each morning and walked around with a smile on my face. I chatted with people whenever I had the chance. I showed that I was not afraid to  40     them, and that I was worthy of being a friend.

A side-effect of my  41     confidence was that my emotions occasionally broke down Only in the  42     of my room, where no one could see, would I reveal my real emotions. All the rejections, funny looks, and  43     behind my back calling me a weirdo（古怪的人） melted  into tears. Once that was done, I would put on my confidence mask once again and start a new day.

It finally worked  My name became known throughout the school as I appeared to be 44     and active. Slowly, I discovered that I no longer needed to put on my confidence mask. I had real    friends. Instead of dragging myself to school and  45    to be happy, I was truly happy. I could not believe it when I was elected to the student government as Deputy Head boy----the first international student to receive the title.

From my  46     in New Zealand, I believe one thing will always be true: If you try your best to reach your goals, you’ll achieve your  47     dreams.

I’m very glad to receive your letter. From your letter, I know you have shown   1.   great interest in inventing new things. That’s great. As for how to be an inventor, there is no quick answer to   2.  .

   Coming from different cultures and having different backgrounds, inventors do not seem to have much  3.  common.  But creative thinking,   4.  is greatly valued, is perhaps the basic skill an inventor should have. In order to explore new possibilities, you will have to learn to break 5.     from old thought patterns. When you get stuck, try to look at the problem in        6.     many ways as possible. Each new way may improve your understanding.

   More importantly, always keep it in your mind   7.  success is no accident. It is the result of a long process of trial and error. Above   8.   , the main task for you is to study hard and try to learn more knowledge. This, of course, will lay a solid foundation.

   Hope your future invention will make a difference.

Good  luck                                                                                        

Yours,

                                                                                               Wang Li

As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you are in the habit of rushing through lift, being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body.                             

Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not the bad thing it is often supposed to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health.                                               

The amount of stress a person can withstand(抵抗)depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities. Others lose heart at the first signs of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make choice between "fight" or "flight" and in more primitive days the choice made the difference between life or death. The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress is, it involves the same response. It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes endangered. Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart disease have established links with stress. Since we cannot remove stress from our lives (it would be unwise to do so even if we could), we need to find ways to deal with it.                                                              

1.People are finding less and less time for relaxing themselves because_____.                                                 

A. they do not know how to enjoy themselves                                       

B. they do not believe that relaxation is important for health                             

C. they are travelling fast all the time                                                    

D. they are becoming busier with their work  

2.According to the writer, the most important character for a good manager is his ________.   

A. not fearing stress                                B. knowing the art of relaxation         

C. high sense of responsibility                   D. having control over performance   

3.Which of the following statements is true?  

A. We can find some ways to avoid stress. 

B. Stress is always harmful to people. 

C. It is easy to change the habit of keeping oneself busy with work.  

D. Different people can withstand different amounts of stress.  

4.In Paragraph 3, "such a reaction" refers back to_______. 

A. "making a choice between 'flight' or 'fight'"                                                         

B. "reaction to stress both chemically and physically"                                                     

C. "responding to crises quickly"

D. "losing heart at the signs difficulties" 

5.In the last sentence of the passage, "do so " refers to ______.     

A. "expose ourselves to stress"                        

B. "find ways to deal with stress" 

C. "remove stress from our lives"

D. "established links between diseases and stress"

The Best of Friends

The evidence for harmony may not be obvious in some families. But it seems that four out of five young people now get on with their parents, which is the opposite of the popularly held image(印象)of unhappy teenagers locked in their room after endless family quarrels.

An important new study into teenage attitudes surprisingly shows that their family life is more harmonious than it has ever been in the past.” We were surprised by just how positive today’s young people seen to be about their families,” said one member of the research team.” They’re expected to be rebellious(叛逆的) and selfish but actually they have other things on their minds; they want a car and material goods, and they worry about whether school is serving them well. There’s more negotiation(商议) and discussion between parents and children, and children expect to take part in the family decision-making process. They don’t want to rock the boat.”

So it seems that this generation of parents is much more likely than parents of 30 years ago to treat their children as friends.” My parents are happy to discuss things with me and willing to listen to me,” says 17-years-old Daniel Lazall. ”I always tell them when I’m going out clubbing. As long as they know what I’m doing, they’re fine with it.” Susan Crome, who is now 21,agrees.”Looking back on the last 10 years, there was a lot of what you could call negotiation. For example, as long as I’d done all my homework, I could go out on a Saturday night. But I think my grandparents were a lot stricter with my parents than that.”

Maybe this positive view of family life should not be unexpected. It is possible that the idea of teenagers rebellion is not rooted in real facts. A researcher comments,” Our surprise that teenagers say they get along well with their parents comes because of a brief period in our social history when teenagers were regarded as different beings. But that idea of rebelling and breaking away from their parents really only happened during that one time in the 1960s when everyone rebelled. The normal situation throughout history has been a smooth change from helping out with the family business to taking it over.”
