英语（二）练习二（Unit 2）一、阅读选择1、Good Communication for Making FriendsAs a communication skills trainer, I've met a wide range of people. Some people have trouble associating with others and have difficulty making friends. So I would like to discuss two key points to making good friends. The first is to show respect and love for your friends through your words. Try to say things to others that would feel good to you if you heard them. For example, say things like, "Thanks for the great time" and "It was really nice to get to know you."If you are not good at speaking, then smiling and using body language to express your sincerity is also an effective way to communicate. Additionally, I recommend that when you meet someone new send them an e-mail or letter before the day is over to express how nice it was to meet them.The goal of good communication is to reach another person's heart and form a comfortable relationship. It is, therefore, based the premise that you get rid of your worries and become a bright and positive person. When there is static noise over the phone line, you can't hear the other person clearly, right? In the same way, when your mind is full of worries and you try to communicate with another person, you cannot give or receive messages accurately. For example, let's say you are still tied to a past wound of being betrayed by a friend and feeling hurts .Even if you meet someone new and he or she tells you, "Let's be good friends," you may not be able to accept it because you will hear a negative inner voice saying something like "I might be betrayed again" or "the person might have a hidden agenda."With this worry in your mind, you will not be able to make friends.If you can be refreshed and get rid of your worries, you should be able to sense others' thoughts and feelings without prejudice and build a relationship of trust. If you really can't let go of your painful past experience, then try to change your perspective on the experience.For example, try to think that it was a necessary lesson for you to understand others' pain. If you can think of the positive intention behind the event, then you will be able to view the experience favourably and feel better.<1> 、The main topic of the passage is________. ( )A、how to communicate with othersB、how to refresh yourselfC、how to forget the past unhappinessD、how to show respect and love for your friends<2> 、The effective way to communicate includes________.( )A、showing respect and love for friends with wordsB、smiling and using body languageC、sending an e-mail or letterD、All of the above<3> 、The effective way to communicate includes________.( )A、showing respect and love for friends with wordsB、smiling and using body languageC、sending an e-mail or letterD、All of the above<4> 、Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage? ()A、Body language is as effective as saying things that will make friends feel better.B、If you distrust others, then it's difficult for you to make new friends.C、The writer conducted a research on how people communicate with their friends.D、Minds full of worries will do great harm to interpersonal relationship<5> 、The example in paragraph 2 is intended to show that________. ( )A、the goal of good communication is to reach another person's heartB、the goal of good communication is to form a comfortable relationshipC、good communication is based on the premise that you get rid of your worries and become a bright and positive personD、it does take time for someone to forget all about the painful past<6> 、In the sentence "the person might have a hidden agenda" (para.2) ,the word "agenda" means________. ( )A、relationshipB、planC、worryD、past二、概况段落大意和补全句子1、Overcoming Difficulties① Life is full of difficulties and obstacles, from birth to death. At times, Life seems like a hurdle race. We are sure of encountering hurdles, but almost always we are taken by surprise. It is necessary to accept that life in general is full of difficulties and adversities. This recognition is the first step. When faced with problems, we often feel, "I am the only one having such problems" Or, we tend to exaggerate our problems and regard them as most complex, most painful，and as an extreme case. But if we look around us, we find people in much worse conditions. As St. Augustine said, "I cried for boots, till I saw a man who had no legs."② When faced with difficulties, we either complain or seek to dodge them. We behave like as ostrich in the desert. It is said that when there is a storm in the desert, the ostrich buries his head in the sand-hoping that the storm will go away if he ignores it-and finally gets buried under a heap of sand and dies. Some of us choose to pretend that the problems do not exist. We fail to realize that confronting and solving the problem-no painful the process-makes us grow.③ Accept the woes of birth. It has many implied meanings. First, it means "accepting," i.e., being able to say that it is "my" problem and it is up to me to solve it. Many times we find ourselves putting the blame on others-parents, society or the circumstances of life. Nothing happens by chance, but all is the result of our past actions. There are times when what is needed is patience. We seek to come out of an unpleasant situation quickly. We must understand that if the cause had been operating for a long time, the effect also would last long-as even when the gas has been turned off, the burner remains hot for a long time. Similarly, we expect quick results; having put in the effort, we must be willing to wait. Patient acceptance of what is due to us makes us makes us take a step further in our development.④ Once we have learnt to deal with a difficulty, the next time we encounter it, it ceases to be a difficulty. But, more often than not the cause of the problem is internal, i.e., within us, and often, it calls for a change. Often the difficulty is solved when we are willing to change—our way of thinking, our feelings, our likes and dislikes—and ready to adapt or adjust ourselves to a problematic situation or a person in life. We must realize that realize that change is inevitable, and always be mentally prepared for it.⑤ Not all life's problems are such that they need to be dealt with all at once. Sometimes it is possible to take a step and wait for a long time. For instance, if the tap is leaking then we need to call a plumber as soon as we can. But having called him and having found that he can come only the following morning, we should wait patiently for the next 24 hours. In this period, people can get very anxious and go on talking about it to others. There are many such problems in life.16. Paragraph①___________17. Paragraph②___________18. Paragraph③___________19. Paragraph④___________20. Paragraph⑤___________A. There are implied meanings about the accepting the woes of birth.B. Diligence is also very important in solving problems.C. The first step of overcoming obstacles is to accept that life is full of difficulties.D. Some problems can’t be solved all at once.E. We must realize that change is inevitable.F. Confronting and solving the problem makes us grow.21. It's of great necessity to accept that life in general is full of__________.22. Faced with difficulties, people either complain or___________.23. We often put our problems____________.24. Sometimes problems do need taking a step and __________.25. While waiting for a long time，people tend to become______.A. seek to dodge themB. immediate reactionC. waiting for a long timeD. difficulties and adversitiesE. very anxiousF. on others<1> 、16.<2> 、17.<3> 、18.<4> 、19.<5> 、20.<6> 、21.<7> 、22.<8> 、23.<9> 、24.<10> 、25.三、填句补文1、300 HurdlesNow comes the first hurdle. __26__ We all make it over this hurdle with ease. This symbolizesThose obstacles in life that we struggle to get over, but we always manage to do so. You can look at that hurdle in two ways: "I c an’t make it over, I’m too tired" or "I am one more hurdle closer to finishing this race". This is an example of taking a negative situation and seeing something positive in it.The next part of the race is every hurdle between the first and last one. __27__ This happens a lot in life too. There may be a situation that arises where you feel as though you can’t make it and all you can think about is giving up. You may fall over that "hurdle" or struggle getting over it, but somehow you find it in yourself to jump over it and move on with the race.Next is that last 100m of the race. You feel as though you just want to say, "No I can't do this." __28__Now lastly is the last hurdle. This hurdle is the toughest out of all of them. In life we find ourselves falling and falling, and maybe getting too lost in our problems that we fell like have been though enough and there’s no hope. __29__ It's one step close to the end of the race.Once you finish, you look back on it and you realize that you made it not by leaping, but step by step. "Yard by yard, life is very hard. But inch by inch, life can be a cinch."___30___A. This hurdle the easiest to get over because you are not worn out from running.B. Again, you must find it in yourself that you can do it, and you must finish the race stronger thanwhen you had started it.C. All it takes is one step at a time, one hurdle at a time.D. That last hurdle symbolizes these situations.E. These hurdles get tougher and tougher and you may feel as though you can’t go onF. Next is the lining up in our own individual lanes.<1> 、26.<2> 、27.<3> 、28.<4> 、29.<5> 、30.答案部分一、阅读选择1、<1>、【正确答案】A【答案解析】本文作者主要谈论了怎样通过交流来结交朋友。

Being "Cool" in Middle SchoolA new study shows that gentle and quiet kids in middle school will grow up to rule. Or, at least, they'll live healthier and more productive lives than the "cool" kids will.The study looked at 13-year-olds who acted old for their age by having "cool" behavior, such as early romantic relationships. They were seen as "cool" and popular kids. But as they grew up, things changed. The study found that these kids tended to have problems with drugs and relationships by their early 20s. Their behavior was no longer linked with popularity. Instead, they were thought to be less socially skilled by their peers. Besides, the average "cool" kids, by age 22, did more poorly than the average kids in the study. They had a 45 percent greater rate of problems due to drugs and alcohol. They also had a 22 percent greater rate of criminal behavior. The study also found that these kids failed to develop important life skills. They spent so much time trying to seem cool. They didn't develop the skills needed for meaningful friendships. The study followed 86 male and 98 female middle school students for a 10-year period. It has some surprising findings. In particular, the study notes that the so-called "cool" behavior is a predictor (预示) of future problems with drugs and alcohol. In fact, it is a better predictor than drag and alcohol use in middle school. However, one conclusion of the study is welcome. Researchers said that parents shouldn't worry too much if their kids don't seem that popular. If a kid prefers to spend Saturday nights at home watching a movie or reading instead of going out with friends, that is not a cause for concern. Many "uncool" kids, they said, do much better later on than the popular kids do.1. Gentle kids are less healthy when they grow up.A. TrueB. FalseC. Not Given2.

第一套题A Good LessonAfter living in Europe for seven years, my parents decided that my family would move to the United States. We all looked forward to this. What would people think us？For me, I hoped to be the hero of the class.I was not disappointed. All my classmates admired my experience, and I quickly became well known as“the French guy.”I was very popular for a time. However, I was not interested in many things my classmates did, and it was hard for me to connect with them. I enjoyed listening to classical music, never watched TV, and almost never watched movies.I did not have a common background with my friends because I grew up in Europe. I had few friends, and fewer friends. When I look back now, I realize I was a bit of an idiot to many people around me. I kept talking proudly about my experience. And I thought myself better than those around me because I lived in Europe but they didn’t.I had decided I wanted better friends when my parents said that we were going to move again! I saw this as a perfect chance to get better friends, where people did not know of my unkind past.When we moved to California, I did not show off as I had done for five years. I did not tell everyone that I lived in Europe. I still listened to classical music, but I just kept my music to myself. Sure enough, I found that people like someone who is not typical but does not boast about it.Nothing can replace good friends, and if I had to control my temper and pride, it was well worth it.11. When I first moved to the US, I was very popular because of my____.A. good appearanceB. outstanding talentsC. French accentD. overseas experiences12. I had few god friends partly because I ____.A. looked down upon my classmatesB. liked listening to classical musicC. never went to the moviesD. came from a very rich family13. The phrase“an idiot”(Line3，Para.3)most probably means____.A. an actorB. a cheaterC. a foolD. a loser14. When we moved to California, I stopped____.A. boasting about my experienceB. talking about people around meC. enjoying the classical music aloneD. making friends with my classmates15. The writer would probably agree that____.A. good friends like the same kind of musicB. friends are more important than anything elseC. similar background is the key to friendshipD. a good friend never loses his/her temper第二套试题Kindness of StrangersAt the store where I worked, I noticed a young boy of about ten shopping alone with his school list. He placed everything in his basket and went to the checkout.The young shop assistant told him the total price,$37.60. The boy was instantly disappointed and said he had only been given $20. He took out one thing at a time until he got down to his $20. With eyes full of tears, he asked if he could phone his mum to pick him up. When he got through, it appeared that even this was inconvenient for his mother.He bit hard on his lip to stop the tears and walked outside to wait on the bench in front of the shop. This was all too much for the young assistant who had served him and she said,“I wish I could afford to pay for the rest of his things.” One of the other girls said she had a few dollars. Then two others said they could help as well.These four young girls pooled their money and found that they had more than enough money for the boy’s extra purchases. So they upgraded his pens and pencils to top-quality ones, then took the bag out to the boy on the seat. His young face changed from sadness to the most beautiful smile. His mother arrived much later to pick him up. Instead of running to the car, he ran back into the store and called out,“Thank you!”I was so proud of my team that day. They did something wonderful for that boy and also found the pleasure of giving was as great as receiving.11.The boy went to the store to .A. buy a basketB. ask for helpC. shop for schoolD. make a phone call12. At the checkout, the boy found that he .A. did not have enough moneyB. did not have his money on himC. forgot to ask his mum for moneyD. had lost his money in the store13. The boy walked out of the store to .A. wait for his mumB. rest on the benchC. get more moneyD. look for a friend14. The shop assistants were .A. curiousB. wealthyC. well-trainedD. kind-hearted15. The boy ran back into the store to___________.A. do extra shoppingB. express his thanksC. return the moneyD. take his bag out第三套Talk to Your Kids about Their Eating Habits CarefullyWeight is never an easy subject. It can be risky for parents to raise the issueof eating habits and weight with their kids.“No kid ever lost weight because his mother told him he was fat,” a friend told me when I was worried about my son’s weight.It turns out she was right, according to a new study. The study was directed by Dr. Berge at University of Minnesota. She found that kids whose parents discussed eating in a healthy way were less likely to have eating problems. But 64% of the kids whose parents focused on their weight turned to unhealthy eating behaviors. Some kids went on extreme diets, and others even ate no food. So eating disorders were caused. Things were worse when fathers joined in the discussions with their daughters and focused on weight. “Fathers should never comment on their daughters’ weight,” says Berge. Instead, she suggests, fathers should focus on their daughters' interests. That can help them feel loved and confident enough to work on their weight issues.How should parents talk to kids about. eating behaviors?

But you don’t have to stay that way, and you shouldn’t.You have to remind yourself to kick your shyness away and introduce yourself. Just a handshake will do. Ask the supervisor who hired you to introduce you around a bit. That’s the best way to make contacts. Then you’ll know what to do and say when you meet these people again.Don’t do what my friend Sue did at her first job at Entertainment Weekly. “That is one of my biggest regrets: I hardly talked to anyone at all when I was there. I was scared and just thought people would talk to me first. For a long time, I was hung up on the thought that if someone was older, I respected them automatically. And even if someone started on Monday, and I started Tuesday, I just felt they had more experience. In the area I worked for four months, I hardly spoke to these people,” she said.“Of course, now I realize that was the most stupid thing. If I could do that again, I’d remember that it’s so important not to feel shy about introducing yourself. It’s not like you have to be very bold, ready to take over the place. Just introduce yourself and ask if there is anything you can do for them. That breaks the ice.”Sun believes that if she had introduced herself around a bit, there would be just no telling what other opportunities or what other acquaintances she might have now.Not that she regrets where she is now at all.

You have to change schools and get used to your new home. But you can always go back to that city to visit. When you move to another country, things are different. However, difficult as it may be, theexperience can be rewarding.My dad, a Brazilian, is really funny and can make friends quickly. My mom, a Swiss, is usually quiet and a bit shy. She likes to be organized. But my dad never makes plans. She enjoys staying home, but my dad always wants to go out. Swiss and Brazilian一what a mix!After my parents got married, they moved to Switzerland. There they had my brother and me. When I was two, we moved to Brazil. During my childhood we visited Switzerland every year.Many people ask me where I prefer to live: Brazil or Switzerland. It's really hard to answer because I love both countries. Brazil is a big country with many states and people. There are multiple dialects and many types of foods. People here have beautiful smiles and are always happy, even if they are poor. In the south the climate is cool, but in the north It's hot and humid.Switzerland, on the other hand, is small but beautiful and clean. There are four languages in that tiny country. People there are very different from Brazilians: they are wealthy, independent, and organized. The food is delicious, and of course, the famous Swiss chocolate is great, and the climate is dry and cool.I love both countries. In Switzerland, it's pleasant, calm, and peaceful everywhere. I enjoyed my stay there very much. But now I am happy here in Brazil. I feel excited and at home.11.

These figures would not surprise most people. But many would be surprised to learn that twenty million Americans ride motorcycles (摩托车).Few people realize thatmotorcycling is fast becoming one of America’s most popular sports.According to the Cycle News, many kinds of people enjoy motorcycling. They include black people and white people, businessmen, professionals, and blue-collar workers. Among them, about 55% are businessmen, 3% are in the professions and 9% in government service.Such information is offered by the Cycle News in the hope of improving the general public’s impression of the sport. The public has tended to believe that all motorcyclists are wild and lawless young men.There are several things about motorcycling that the average citizen dislikes. A motorcyclist’s appearance has something to do with this dislike. Motorcyclists often look dirty; in fact, they are dirty. On the road, there is little to protect them from mud. For practical reasons, they often dress in old clothing which looks much less respectable than the clothing of people who ride in cars. For the same reason, motorcyclists usually wear dark colors. Perhaps this helps to explain why they are sometimes suspected of having bad natures.Probably motorcycles themselves also produce anger and fear. They are noisy，though some trucks are even noisier. But trucks are acceptable because they perform a needed service. Motorcycles, on the other hand, make an uncomfortable noise just to give their riders pleasure. Roaring along quiet streets, they wake sleeping families and make babies cry.Yet, as motorcycling becomes more and more common, it will be interesting to see how people in general feel about the sport. Perhaps it will someday become as‘respectable’’ as tennis or golf.11.

So it might surprise you to learn that restaurants as we know have only existed for a few centuries. Before 1765, there were no restaurants. There was nowhere :in which a server brought you food and drink that you chose from a menu In fact, there were no menus anywhere.There were places where travelers could eat centuries before that. The countryside was full of inns that would serve food. And there were bars where one could get a drink. The rich could also eat meals supplied by private cooks.But therewas nothing that could be called a “restaurant”.A Frenchman changed that. In 1765, he opened a place in Paris that sold soups. On his sign, he used the ten “restaurants” to describe what he was selling. Soups were considered “restorative”, so he called them “restaurants”.Finally, people started buying his soups even when not ill. And as time went on,people began to use the term “restaurant” to refer to the place where soup was sold rather than the soup itself. More “restaurants” opened up in France, and people began to buy soups more regularly.Then, restaurants in Paris began to serve food other than soups. In the 1780s,enus started to appear. By the 1800s, there were many types of restaurants, and the restaurant concept was spread throughout the British Empire.A slow start gave way to rapid growth. Cities and towns around the world are filled with restaurants today. It is estimated that there are l.6 million restaurants in Europe. In America, there are nearly a half million restaurants. Today, diners have millions of choices.11. Before 1765, travelers could have meals at a(n) _A.barB. innC. restaurantD. Canteen12.

It is more than just telling your dog to stop doing what he’s doing; it is the process of teaching a dog to exhibit certain desired behaviors in specific circumstances. Proper dog training is not a “quick一it is an ongoing process.Dog training also involves teaching the owner. Going through dog training is something that every dog owner should do. It is like going to school over again. It is all about communication, and you need to learn to communicate with your dog.Training your dog to ”sit” is probably the first thing you will train your dog to do. When you want your dog to sit, hold a treat above his head and say “sit”. As the dog sits, say “sit” again and then immediately give him the treat. Your dog should drop into a “sit” position in order to reach the food.Teaching your dog to fetch promotes bonding. To do this, first throw a ball, and give the command “fetch”. As he starts to run towards it, yell “fetch” again. Instead of a ball, you may use the object your dog loves most. Do not play fetch with heavy items or sticks, however, as this can dam age the dog’s teeth or injure the dog.A well-trained dog should remain where his owner commands, so “stay” is an important command in dog training as well. Since it is more involved, that will be the subject of another article.Dog training is a very physical activity, so be prepared to be tired. And dog training is never without risk of injury, especially with more aggressive dogs. Onemajor mistake many dog owners make is to think that the dog training is over.

"The short answer is yes, but there is more about the myths of Scottish "skirts."The“skirt” that Scotsmen(苏格兰男子) sometimes wear is called a kilt..It is part of the traditional dress of Scotland. The kilt is clearly very famous across the world. It seems that everybody has heard of it, and that most people have seen a picture of a man wearing onePeople's knowledge and ideas about Scotsmen wearing these funny kilts come from films and television. Every time people from other countries ask about the kilt, they mention Mel Gibson's film, Brave heart. In many countries, there are television programs about Scotland. These programs always include information or images of men in kilts.Of course, in Scotland, you will often see the kilt. The reality is, though, that you will most commonly see it in tourist areas. The main streets and tourist areas of Scotland always have a Scotsman wearing a kilt and all tourist shops in the country sell kilts in different colors.But kilts are not something that Scottish people see every day. Kilts are for special occasions, such as weddings, funerals and other big and important events.Scotsmen do not put on their kilt just to buy a bottle of milk and a loaf of bread at the local supermarketThe reason for this may be that kilts are very expensive. When a man wears a kilt, he normally wears it with a special shirt jacket, socks and shoes. This is obviously not cheap. In fact, an average kilt outfit(全套服装) costs around￡500.11.

It was always hard to choose a good Christmas present for them. They didn't need much, and it was hard for her to be creative every year.One year, she sent them a big wooden elephant. It sat on the counter for a year, but then it disappeared, probably into a closet somewhere.
