Whenever you meet someone in a social situation, remember to focus your undivided attention on him for four minutes. That would change a lot of peoples whole lives.”When you are introduced to new people, you are supposed to appear friendly and self-confident to attract them. Generally speaking, “You like those who like you.” On the other hand, its unwise to make others think you are too sure of yourself.You may not sure about such advice, saying, “But In reality, Im not either friendly or self-confident. Thats not my nature. Wouldnt it be dishonest for me to behave that way?” For that question, Dr. Leon would tell you that a little practice can help you feel comfortable about changing your social habits. You will get used to any changes you choose to make in your personality(性格). “Its like getting used to a new car. It may be unfamiliar at first, but it goes much better than the old.”However, you may still wonder if its dishonest to give the appearance of friendly and self-confidence while you dont actually feel that way. Perhaps, but according to Dr. Leon, “Entire honesty” is not always good for social relationships, especially during the first few minutes of two strangers being introduced to each other. There is a time for a certain amount of play-acting may be the best choice for the first few minutes of contacting a stranger. That is not a suitable time to complain about ones health or to mention shortcomings you find in other people. It is not the right time to tell the whole truth about ones opinions and impressions.The author also makes it clear that that interpersonal(人际的) relations need to be regarded as a required course in every school, along with reading, writing, and mathematics. In his opinion, success in life depends mainly on how you get along with other people. That is at least as important as how much you know.1Introduced to a new person, you are supposed to _.A. be sure of yourself without caring about the others feelingsB. be honest and always tell the whole truth even if it hurtsC. look friendly and confident at least for the first few minutesD. directly point out faults you find in the other person2The author will probably agree that interpersonal relations _.A. should be treated as a required course in schoolsB. are more important than other courses in schoolC. play an equal part as other courses in some schoolsD. are the only secrets to lead you to success in life3The underlined word “play-acting” in Para 4 means _.A. being totally honest B. being a little dishonestC. acting out what one feels D. acting a role in a play4 The best title for the passage could be _.A. The Key to Success B. Best Ways to Make FriendsC. Personal Relations D. The First Four MinutesB An English traveler found himself in Norway with only enough money to buy the ticket for him to go back home. As he knew that it would take him only two days to get to England, he decided that he could easily spend the time without food. So he bought a ticket and got on the ship. The man closed his ears to the sound of the lunch bell. When dinnertime came, he didn't go to dinning room, saying that he was not feeling very well.      The next morning he still didn't have breakfast and at lunchtime he again stayed in his room. But at dinnertime he was so hungry that he went to the dinning room and ate everything the waiter put in front of him. He got ready for the quarrel (争执).      "Bring me the bill," he said. "The bill, sir?" said the waiter in surprise. "There isn't any bill. On our ship meals are included (包括) in the money for the ticket," said the waiter.5The story happened _.A. in England B. on a ship from Norway to EnglandC. in Norway D. on a ship from England to Norway6The traveler didn't go to the dinning room first because _.A. he had no money B. he didn't feel very wellC. he didn't want to eat anything D. he didn't hear the sound of the bell7The traveler went to the dinning room to eat something because _。A. his friend had given him some moneyB. the waiter had asked him to change his mind C. he learned that there was no bill on the ship D. he was too hungry.8After the traveler finished eating, _.A. he had a quarrel with waiter over the bill B. he drank a lot C. he asked the waiter to bring him the change (零钱) D. he came to know that travelers on the ship had free mealsC There is an interesting, but at the same time a sad phenomenon now: there is a rise in the number of singers and bands that have little to do with good musicMany singers or bands know little about what good music meansWhat is the cause of this rise?Most of these singers have taken music as a “job” because it is a good source of making moneyAnd if you have a good appearance and also expensive clothes to show off at your concerts or at different appearances in public, then your voice is not as important as it should beThe public will prefer to admire more the most interesting parts of your body, whether you are a girl or a boyThey will even forget about the fact that you are there to show your music skills, not your dancing, which is important too, but not at such a high levelTherefore, we can see many young girls on TV who look very good but who have nothing to do with musicThey choose to wear very provocative（挑逗性的）clothes to catch attention, but when it comes to singing they are a complete mess and one doesnt need to have an ear for music to notice their lack of talentBut anyway, they have concerts and they enjoy travelling from one place to anotherIt is the publics fault because they accept this and are pleased with this commercial musicPeople who enjoy this kind of music are generally young people while adults prefer listening to old good bandsHowever, the young generation should understand while appearance is important, it is less important than talent and a good voiceIf somebody has a great voice and wants to become a singer, he should take some special courses in this area, because they will help them improve singing abilities9The passage shows that many singers consider music as _Aan art serving the public Ba good way of making moneyCa way of living fully Da fashionable lifestyle10From the passage we can learn that _Aappearance is the most important thing in the world of musicBall people who have received training in singing can become famousCadults should help young people improve their abilitiesDa singers talent and voice are the most important factors11What do you think is the authors attitude towards the rising number of new singers and bands?ACritical BSupportive CTolerant DWorried12What kind of article does this passage belong to?Aentertainment Bsport Ccomment DStoryDThe Gold Coast Wax(蜡)Museum is one of the Gold Coasts longest running attractions.

When he told me that he was laid off, I thought he was joking. Then I noticed his seriousness and realized he was telling the truth. My father has always been a hard worker. He has prided himself on his career. 16 I guess I had taken his work for granted. 17 For starters, he was home all the time. It meant my bed had to be made, my room cleaned up, and my homework done right after school. I would come home every day to find him at the computer searching for jobs. 18 He seemed down, though he tried to be optimistic. He asked my brother and me to spend less. I gave up my spending money, which wasn't much. I also found a part-time job. 19 He explained that he never wanted to be laid off again, so he was going to start his own business. Day by day, I watched him build it. One evening I asked if he needed help. “Only if it doesn't affect school,” he said. I showed up at his office the next afternoon, and most afternoons after that for two months. 20 The terrible experience for our family taught me how to deal with difficulties. Now I know that through creative problem-solving, I can always find Plan B. I can ask for help and take risks. What I have learned from my dads understanding of business and his work ethic（信条）are two of the most important lessons I will ever learn. And they will be my principles for success. A. Providing for our family has been his joy. B. I made every effort to solve his problems. C. I began to notice how losing his job had affected him. D. My father's unemployment created many changes in our lives.E. After months of searching, my dad decided to go in a totally different direction.F. His courage and determination helped him to become successful in his new career. G. I always knew he was a hard worker, but watching him in action influenced me a lot.
