social skills arent what youwish they were,that doesnt have to stop you from being confident.Heres how to believe in yourself.Make a list of special talents you have,or things you do that are goodmorally or otherwise.It doesnt have to be aspecific skill；it can be an approach or an attitude that you hold through life.Do you always stay calm,cool and collected,even in hurried situations?Are you very patient with people?Do you always see the humorous side of things?Are youalways there for your friends?Know that you have important things to say and do.When you feel strongly about something,speak loudly andclearly and make eye contact with people.People will judge you all the time,and usually theyUl misjudge you anyway,so why bother trying to live up to their opinions at all?Take care of yourself.Eat a healthy diet and get enough exercise.Dont abuse your body,dont overload it,anddont deny any of the things it needs.At the same time,dont obsess（沉迷）.Buying all the

appeared on the sidewalk with a bucket of whitewash and a long-handled brush.He stoppedby the fence in front of the house where he lived with his aunt Polly.He looked at it,and all joy left him.The fence waslong and high.He put the brush into the whitewash and moved it along the top of the fence.He repeated the operation.He felt he could not continue and sat down.He knew that his friends would arrive soon with all kinds of interesting plans for the day.They would walk past him and laugh.They would make jokes about his having to work on a beautiful summerSaturday.The thought burned him like fire.He put his hand into his pockets and took out all that he owned.Perhaps he could And some way to pay someone todo the whitewashing for him.But there was nothing of value in his pocketsnothing that could buy even half an hour offreedom.So he put the bits of toys back into his pockets and gave up the idea.At this dark and hopeless moment,a wonderful idea came to him.It filled his mind with a great,bright light.Calmly he picked up the brush and started again to whitewash.While Tom was working,Ben Rogers appeared.Ben was eating an apple as he walked along the street.As hewalked along it,he was making noises like the sound of a riverboat.First he shouted loudly,like a boat captain.Then hesaid“DingDong-Dong,DingDongDong”again and again,like the bell of a riverboat.And he made otherstrange noises.When he came close to Tom,he stopped.Tom went on whitewashing.He did not look at Ben.Ben stared a moment and then said:Hello!Pm goingswimming,but you can*t go,can you?”No answer.Tom moved his brush carefully along the fence and looked at the result with the eye of an artist.Bencame nearer.Tom*s mouth watered for the apple,but he kept on working.Ben said,Hello,old fellow,youve got to work,hey?”Tom turned suddenly and said,Why,its you,Ben!I wasnt noticing.”“Say-Pm going swimming.Dont you wish you could?But of course youd rather workwouldn*t you?Of courseyou would.”Tom looked at the boy a bit,and said,“What do you call work?”“Why,isnt that work?”Tom went back to his whitewashing,and answered carelessly.“Well,maybe it is,and maybe it isn*t.All I know is,it suits Tom Sawyer.”“Oh come,now,you dont mean to say that you like it?”The brush continued to move.“Like it?Well,I dont see why I shouldnft like it.Does a boy get a chance to whitewash a fence every day?”Ben stopped eating his apple.Tom moved his brush back and forth,stepped back to look at the result,added atouch here and there,and stepped back again.Ben watched every move and got more and more interested.Soon hesaid 9“Say,Tom,let me whitewash a little.”Tom thought for a moment,and was about to agree,but he changed his mind.“Nonoit wont do,Ben.You see,Aunt Polly wants this fence to be perfect.It has got to be done very carefully.Idont think there is one boy in a thousand,maybe two thousand,that can do it well enough.”“Nois that so?Oh come,nowlet me just try.Only just a little.”“Ben,Id like to,but if it isnt done right,Pm afraid Aunt Polly”“Oh,PH be careful.Now let me try.SayIll give you the core of my apple.”“Well,hereNo,Ben,now dont.Pm afraidwril give you all of it.”Tom gave up the brush with unwillingness on his face,but joy in his heart.And while Ben worked at the fence inthe hot sun,Tom sat under a tree,eating the apple,and planning how to get more help.There were enough boys.Eachone came to laugh,but remained to whitewash.By the time Ben was tired,Tom sold the next chance to Billy for a kite;and when Billy was tired,Johnny bought it for a dead ratand so on,hour after hour.And when the middle of theafternoon came,Tom had won many treasures.And he had not worked.He had had a nice idle time all the time,with plenty of company,and the fence had beenwhitewashed three times.If he hadnt run out of whitewash,Tom would have owned everything belonging to his friends.He had discovered a great law of human action,namely,that in order to make a man or a boy want a thing,it isonly necessary to make the thing difficult to get.1、How many characters are mentioned in this story?A.4 B.5C.6 D.72、Why did Tom take all his bits of toys out of his pockets?A.Because he was tired and

of the most striking findings of a newly research in the UK is that of the people interviewed,one intwo believes that it is becoming more difficult to meet someone to start a family with.Why are many finding it increasingly difflcult to start close relationships?Does modern life really make it harder tofall in love?Or are we making it harder for ourselves?It is certainly the case today that contemporary couples benefit indifferent ways from relationships.Women no longer rely upon partners for money or status.A man doesnt expect hiswife to be in sole（唯一的）charge of running his household and raising his children.But perhaps the knowledge that we can live perfectly well without a partnership means that it takes much more topersuade people to abandon their independence.In theory,finding a partner should be much simpler these days.Only a few generations ago,your choice of soulmate was limited by geography,social convention and family tradition.Although it was never clear,many marriageswere essentially arranged.Now those barriers have been broken down.You can approach a builder or a brain surgeonin any bar in any city on any given evening.When the world is your oyster（牡蛎）,you surely have a better chance offinding a pearl.But it seems that the old conventions have been replaced by the limitation of choice.The expectations of partnersare raised to an unmanageable degree:good looks,impressive salary,kind to grandmother,and right socks.There is noroom for error in the first impression.We think that a relationship can be perfect.If it isnt,it should be ended.We work to protect ourselves againstfuture heartache and dont put in the hard emotional labor needed to build a strong relationship.Twelve-hour work atthe office makes relaxed after-hours dating difficult.The cost of housing and child-raising creates pressure to have astable income and career before a life partnership.1、（小题 1）What is a contemporary family like in UK today?A.Couples share the burdens.B Men begin to depend on women.C.Women are responsible for housework.D.It is difficult to take care of a family.2、（小题 2）Why do people preserve their independence?A.To live alone happily.B.To have more choices.C.To avoid marriages.D.To ignore traditions.3、（小题 3）What makes it hard for people to date?A.Mental headache in dating.B.The pressure to survive.C.Bad luck in finding a partner.D.The faith between life partners.4、（小题 4）What is the author trying to inform us in this text?A.Perfect marriages conflict with independence.B.People should spend more money on marriages.C.The expectations and reality separate the lovers.D.Independence is much more important than love.24.（8 分）Despite the vital role they play in many ecosystems,animals considered to be ugly are being ignored byscientists.A study had found uglier animals attract less attention and less funding when it comes to conservation effortsand research.This could mean the ugliest animal population could be under threat.The study was conducted by wildlife biologists Trish Fleming and Bill Bateman in Perth,Australia.They looked atresearch publications concerning 331 Australian mammal species that broadly fell into categories they labeled as thegood,the bad and the ugly”.It turned out that studies into“the good group”and the bad group”were carried outwhile the ugly group was ignored.Ugly animals,such as the fruit bat and the tree bat,are being ignored by conservationists.And some animals areeven becoming endangered because of how they look.The Madagascan lemur（狐猴）called the aye-aye is so ugly thatthe natives have long seen them as a bad sign,or a sign of death,so they kill them whenever they see them.Other uglyanimals under threat include the dugong（儒艮）and the proboscis monkey（长鼻猴）.Despite making up 45%of the 331 species studied,the ugly animals have attracted little attention from scientists.“We know so little about the biology of many of these species “said Trish Fleming.uFor many,we have catalogued theirexistence,but when it comes to understanding what they eat,their habitat needs,or how we could improve their chanceof survival,we are still in the dark.With Bill Bateman,Trish Fleming
