试题分析：如果不喜欢父母给你取的名字该怎么办呢？在本文中作者给了你很满意的答复，那就是你可以随意的改名字。法律允许你改名字，允许你取任何名字，只要你的名字不是用来进行欺骗的。而且你所要做的就是更改一些档案记录，并且开始使用你的新名字，以及练好你的签名而已。
小题1:B不定代词辨析。A.没人；B.每个人；C.所有人；D.某人。从上句可知此处泛指所有人的名字都是别人给起的，故排除A、D选项。再根据主谓一致的原则可知B为正确选项。
小题2:A名词辨析。A符号；B.礼物；C.纪念品；D. 样品。从语境可知人们不要太在意名字，它只是个代替人的符号而已，所以A选项正确。
小题3:C动词辨析。A.知道；B.信任；C.使。。。满足或满意；D.同意。从下文可以判断C选项符合语境，父母给你取得名字可能不符合你的愿望，需要。satisfy one’s need“满足需求”故C项正确。
小题4:A副词辨析。A.定期地，经常地；B.合法地；C.几乎不；D.勇敢地。从下文with some determination, you can, too.可知屏幕影星是经常更换名字。故选A。
小题5:D形容词辨析。A稳固的；B.有价值的；C.实践的；D灵活的。根据下文可知法律在更改名字方面没有人们想象的严格，是比较灵活的，所以此处填D。
小题6:C介词短语辨析。A.事实上；B.结果，因此；C.例如；D.表面上。上文讲人们原以为改名字会很难，但是当真正去做的时候却发现其实很简单，此处是举例说明法律在关于名字方面是很宽松的，故C选项正确。
小题7:A动词辨析。A.承担（责任）；B.对付； C 称呼；D. 得到。根据常识可知有的地方妇女结婚后要改为丈夫的姓氏，所以此处填A，意思是“没有法律规定妇女要遵照丈夫的姓氏”。
小题8:C短语辨析。A.仿佛；B 只要；C即使；D.要是。。就好了。上句“父母可以随意给孩子取名字”和后面句子“孩子的名字可以不遵照父母任何一方的姓氏”两句话之间是一种递进的假设关系，由此可知C选项正确。
小题9:B形容词辨析。A.流行的；B.官方的，正式的；C.知道的；D学术的。从下文Under common law,is necessary to start using the name of your choice可知改名字没必要弄的很正式，只要在某些法律规定下开始使用即可。所以B选项正确。
小题10:C代词辨析。A.什么；B那；C.它；D.哪个。从句法结构可知此处的真正主语是to start using the name of your choice，it做形式主语。句型是it is necessary to do sth。所以C项正确。
小题11:B动词短语辨析。A.被用；B.应该；C. 被希望；D.期望。从上文可知此处是强调要使用新名字的必要性和重要性，所以B项符合语境。
小题12:B副词辨析。A.代替；B.此外；C.幸运地；D否则。从上下文可知you must change all your identification和前面内容是递进关系，所以B选项正确。
小题13:C名词辨析。A.价值；B.笔记；C.记录；D.描述。根据and可知此空和前面identification应该同样是有关人身份名字的词，所以C选项正确。句意：此外，你必须要改变你所有的证件和档案记录。
小题14:A名词辨析。A.签名；B.书法；C.需要；D发音。根据上文以及后句until you wirte it naturally可知此处是指人的签名，所以A项正确。
小题15:A副词辨析。A连续地，.一贯地；B.固定地；C.漂亮地；D.有吸引力地。从词语搭配上可知描述一个人写字要用自然流畅等词语，所以判断A选项正确。
小题16:B考查非谓语。分析句子结构可知此处是make sb do sth “让某人做某事”短语，故B项正确。
小题17:D形容词辨析。A.可能的；B.不可能的；C. 方便的；D.可能的。从词的用法判断四个选项中只有likely的主语可以用sb，句型为 sb is likely to do sth“某人有可能做某事”。D选项正确。
小题18:C动词辨析。A.许可进入；B.容忍；C.禁止D. 允许。从上文可知法律允许你有使用任何名字的权利，换句话也就是说没有法律禁止你使用你选择的名字，故C选项正确。
小题19:A连词辨析。A.除非；B.何时；C.如果；D.因为。从语境可知此处是指一种例外情况，如果你利用名字去欺诈那是法律不允许的，所以A选项正确。
小题20:D引导词辨析。A.谁的；B.不管什么；C.哪；个D.无论什么。由语法结构可知by后面是宾语从句，故排除B选项，而A、C选项不合语境，所以选D。句意：请享受你的权利把，想叫什么名字就叫什么名字。 |

One effective way of destroying happiness is to look at something and focus on even the smallest fault. It’s like looking at the tiled（铺瓦的）ceiling and concentrating on the space where one tile is .
Once I heard a bald man said, “whenever I enter a room I see is hair.” Once you’ve what your missing tile is, explore whether acquiring it will make you happy. Then do one of the three things: get it, replace it with a different , or forget about it and the tiles in your life that are not missing.
We all know people who have a relatively life, yet are essentially unhappy. while people who have suffered a great deal but remain happy.
The first is gratitude. All happy people are . Ungrateful people cannot be happy. We tend to think that being unhappy leads people to , but it’s truer to say that complaining leads to people becoming unhappy.
The second secret is that happiness is a byproduct of something else. The most obvious are those pursuit that give our lives purpose — anything studying insects to playing baseball. The more passions we have, the more happiness we are to experience.
Finally, the belief that something permanent goes beyond us and that our has some larger meaning can help us to feel happier. We a spiritual faith, or a philosophy, it should this truth: if you choose to find the in every situation, you will be blessed, and if you choose to find the awful, you will be cursed. As with happiness itself, this is your decision to make.

When I first told people I was going to work in Cameroon, the most common reaction was: “Why?” The second was: “It’s in Africa; you’ll die!” The third: “Where is that?”
So let me give some answers. I was offered a job that looked interesting in a part of the world I’d never been to before. I’d also long had an interest in Africa, so I decided it was time to find out the reality.
A small amount of research showed that in more than 40 years since gaining independence, Cameroon has been a peaceful country with no wars. Not only are there no wars, but Cameroon is a food exporter to the region.
Now, after three years, I can say that these have been the healthiest years of my life! No malaria or any of the other frightening diseases you read about when Africa is mentioned. The worst thing that ever happened to me was a bout of food poisoning — once.
So what is it like to teach here? Well surprisingly not so different from teaching anywhere else.
Most students come to us with a bit of English in their heads. Cameroon is a bilingual country with French and English as official languages, while there are also close to 200 local ethnic languages in a country of 16 million people. French is the dominant language, spoken by about 80% of the population.
The local school system is very traditional and somewhat strict. Perhaps not surprisingly when there can be up to 150 students in the classroom (of which maybe 30 have the books, and there are probably seats for 70).
Like anywhere else, students appreciate it if you know a bit about their country, and not just Roger Milla (the top scorer of the 1990 World Cup, in case you’re wondering). It helps if you know the names of the ten provinces, know who the first president was, or can say a word in a local language.
So in conclusion: Cameroon isn’t just football. Not is it war, poverty and disease. It’s just life and people, like anywhere else.
小题1: On hearing the writer’s decision, most people _____.| A．didn’t understand him | B．considered it as a joke | | C．admired him | D．laughed at him |
小题2:According to the passage, Cameroon is _____.| A．a country full of diseases | B．peaceful after liberation | | C．a poor country, especially lack of food | D．quite different from others in education |
小题3: What can we infer from the passage?| A．Food export may lead to many frightening diseases. | | B．Most students in Cameroon do not need books | | C．Cameroon is not as bad as people commonly believed | | D．There must be a lot of people suffering from food poisoning. |
小题4:What does the underlined word in the sixth paragraph mean?| A．leading | B．easy | C．only | D．wonderful |

Whether in the workplace or on the football field, effective teamwork can produce amazing results. However, working successfully as a team is not as easy as it may seem. Effective teamwork certainly does not just happen automatically; it takes a great deal of hard work and compromise. There are a number of factors that must be in place to make a good team.
Effective leadership is one of the most important factors of good teamwork. The team’s leader should possess the skills to create and preserve a positive working environment and motivate and inspire the team members to take a positive approach to work and be highly committed. An effective team leader will promote a high level of spirit and make them feel supported and valued.
Communication is a vital factor of all interpersonal relationship and especially that of a team. Team members must be able to articulate their feelings, express plans and goals, share ideas and see each other’s opinions.
Conflicts will arise no matter how well a team functions together. The best way to deal with conflicts is to have some organized methods of handling conflicts. Team members should be able to voice their concerns without fear of offending others. Instead of avoiding conflict issues, a hands-on approach that settles them quickly is much better. It is often advised that the team leader sit with the conflicting parties and help work out their differences without taking sides and trying to remain objective if possible.
The team leader must set a good example to create good teamwork. In order to keep team members positive and committed and motivated, the team leader himself needs to show these qualities. The team turns to the leader for support and guidance. So any negative words or behaviors on the leader’s part can be disastrous.
Regardless of what type of work you are in, knowing how to effectively work on and with a team is going to be extremely important to your success and that of your team.
小题1:66. Effective leadership is important partly because ___________________.| A．it creates a positive working environment | | B．it makes a leader feel supported and valued | | C．it helps a leader to develop lots of skills | | D．it depends on interpersonal relationship of a team |

小题4:69. To become a good team leader, you have to ________.| A．set up a good team | | B．be positive and committed | | C．look for support from the team | | D．avoid natural disasters |

Yawning sends out certain messages -either “Oh，this movie is so boring” or “I probably need to get some sleep”. But did you know that a yawn can also help your brain to cool down when it is overheated?
A new study, led by a research team at Princeton University, has indicated that yawning could be the brain’s natural way of regulating temperature. People yawn more often when the temperature outdoors is lower than their body temperature but are less likely to yawn when it is hotter outdoors, according to Sciencedaily. com.
The research team did an experiment on 160 people, 80 in summer and 80 in winter, to examine how often they yawned at different air temperatures. The study found that people yawned more often in winter than in summer. Scientists say that when the air temperature is lower outside the body, there is heat exchange between the overheated brain and the cool air. But when the air temperature is higher than or equal to the body, people are less likely to yawn because the hot air they breathe in will make the brain even hotter.
When people yawn, their jaw is also stretched，which increases blood flow and may also help cool the brain
The study showed that the amount someone yawned could be related to the amount of time they spent outside. The longer they spent outside in summer, the less they yawned. Nearly 40 percent of participants yawned within their first five minutes outside, but after that the percentage was reduced to less than 10 percent.
However, the result was the opposite in winter. The number of people who yawned increased when they spent more than five minutes outdoors. But the change was only slight compared to summertime.
According to Gallup, this is the first report to show that yawning frequencies change depending on season. This could help us to understand better the way our brains work. It may also help us understand the reason why frequent yawning can sometimes be a sign of brain disease.
小题1:The purpose of the experiment is ______.| A．to find the frequency of people’s yawning | | B．to indicate brain can regulate temperature naturally | | C．to prove people yawn in winter and in summer equally | | D．to show the real reason why people yawn |
小题2:The information we get from Paragraphs 5 and 6 is that ______.| A．longer outdoor summertime results in more yawns | | B．yawning frequency increases with outdoor time | | C．yawning frequency changes with outdoor time | | D．longer outdoor wintertime leads to fewer yawns |
小题3:Acorrding to the text，people yawn more often ______.| A．when the air temperature is equal to the body | | B．when the hot air breathed in makes the brain hotter | | C．when the air temperature is higher than the body | | D．when the air temperature is lower outside the body |
小题4:What could be the best title for the text?| A．Yawning Is A Sign of Brain Disease | | B．Yawning Cools Your Brain | | C．Yawning Benefits Your Body | | D．Yawning Carries Some Information |

Making friends is a skill. Like most skills, it improves practice. If you want to meet people and make friends you must be to take action. You must first go to places where there are people.

Most of our fears about dealing with strange people from doubts about ourselves. We other people are judging us, thinking us too tall or too short, too this or too that. , don’t forget that they must be feeling the same way. Try to accept yourself you are, and try to put the other person at ease. You’ll feel more comfortable.
Try to act self-confidently you don’t feel that way you enter a room full of strangers, such as a new classroom, walk straight, look at other people and smile. If you see someone you’d like to , say something. Don’t wait for the other people to a conversation.
