举一反三
I suppose that the most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen. Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our attention. And especially if it’s given from the heart. When people are talking, there’s no need to do anything but receive them. Listen to what they’re saying. Care about it. Most times caring about it is even more important than understanding it. Most of us don’t value ourselves or our love enough to know this. It has taken me a long time to believe in the power of simple saying “I’m so sorry,” when someone is in pain.
One of my patients told me that when she tried to tell her story people often interrupted to tell her that they once had something just like that happening to them. Her pain became a story about them. Eventually, she stopped talking to most people. We connect through listening. When we interrupt what someone is saying to let them know that we understand, we move the focus of attention to ourselves. When we listen, they know we care.
I have even learned to respond to someone crying by just listening. In the old days I used to reach for the handkerchiefs, until I realized that passing a person a handkerchief may be just another way to shut him down, to take them out of their experience of sadness. Now I just listen. When they have cried all they need to cry, they find me there with them.
This simple thing has not been that easy to learn. It certainly went against everything I had been taught since I was very young. I thought people listened only because they were too shy to speak or did not know the answer. But now I know that a loving silence often has far more power to heal than the kindest words.
小题1:What does the author value most in the communication with each other?| A．Deep understanding | B．Saying “I’m Sorry”. | | C．Attention from heart. | D．Doing nothing. |
小题2:The woman patient stopped telling her story to most people because ______.| A．She didn’t get enough respect from others | | B．she was discouraged by being often interrupted | | C．people often told her their own opinions | | D．people couldn’t understand her sad situation |
小题3: If you hand a handkerchief to someone crying, you may ______.| A．hurt his feelings | B．make him embarrassed | | C．encourage him to continue to cry | D．stop him from letting out his sorrow |
小题4: It can be inferred from the passage that while communicating, ______.| A．listening is a perfect way to respond to others | | B．people keep silent because they don’t know the answer | | C．keeping silent means being too shy to speak | | D．it is easy to form the habit of listening silently |

Do you want to have a close friend? Do you know how to make a good friend? Now, let me tell you. Before you make friends, you have to decide who you want to be your friends. Most people like to have friends who like to do the same kind of things they do.
The quickest way to make a friend is to smile. When you smile, people think you are friendly and easy to talk to. It may not be easy at first to smile, but remember most people will stay away from a scared or angry looking face.
One easy way to start a conversation with someone is to say something nice about him. Think about how great you feel when someone says something nice to you. Doesn’t it make you want to keep talking to that person?
Ask your new friends questions about themselves. Who’s their favorite singer, where do they live, what do they do after school are all good questions to start a conversation. Make sure you have something to add to the conversation, too. When someone asks you a question, do have an answer for them. There’s nothing that will stop a conversation quicker than a shrug (耸肩) for an answer.
Kids who show an interest in other kids and who are kind and friendly make good friends. Remember, everyone wants to be around people who like to do similar things and people who are nice to them.
小题1:What does the underlined word scared( in para.2) mean?| A．holy | B．frightening | C．happy | D．sad |
小题2:The main idea is _________.| A．how to start a conversation | B．how to praise a person | | C．how to make friends | D．the importance of making friends |
小题3:What kind of people are easy to become friends?| A．who are happy every day. | B．who often speak ill of others. | | C．who are good at communicating . | D．who share the same interest. |
小题4:If a person shrug , what does he/she mean?| A．being very proud | B．making no answer | | C．being very happy | D．be humorous |
小题5:Most people enjoy talking to one _______.| A．who speaks highly of them | B．who are very out-going. | | C．who is always smiling | D．who points out their shortcomings |

As a child, I was afraid of everything. At the age of 8, I even became 1 of getting Halloween candy. 2 , on October 31, my twin brother and I went out and 3 to every house in the neighborhood. Most of the houses only had a few steps to the door. It was easy. However, when we 4 one of the bigger houses with 10 tall steps 5 to the front door, which were known to have the best candy, my fear 6 me. My brother was already up the stairs, while I stood 7 at the bottom.
It was 8 that I’d be able to climb all that way, for I was afraid that I might fall over in the dark and 9 my bag of candy. I might 10 my clothes on something. I wanted the candy, but there was no 11 I would go up those stairs to get it. I failed. I lost more than just candy. I lost my 12 .

Finally, with only $100 in my savings account, I started my own business. Whenever I would lose a client (客户), the old fears 18 . However, I’d tasted the candy, and now I don’t 19 when I face difficulties. I believe that, though 20 things can happen when we step out, worse things happen when we don’t.

There’s no shortage of web sites offering deals-everything from daily deals to members-only private sales. But when it comes to real jaw-dropping deals, there’s one company that seems to have figured out a way to really deliver.
The company is called Quibids and they auction（拍卖）the hottest, in-demand electronics like Apple ipads and ipods, as well as other items like gift cards from the top retailers（零售商）. Unlike other sites, the prices people pay are nowhere near retail. How low are the prices?
$ 33.84 for a new Apple ipad 32 GB（retail $ 600）
$ 22.10 for a new Nikon D90 Digital SLR Camera（retail $ 1070）
Our first reaction on seeing these prices was disbelief. After all, how could Quibids possibly afford to sell these items for so little ---- surely they must be losing a lot of money.
That’s where its unique business model comes into play. You see, for every bid a buyer places for an item on Quibids, the company collects a small fee from the bidder. The fee to bid is only about 60 cents, but based on the volume of sales and bids, the company is able to collect enough to make up for the ridiculous prices the items sell for.
But best of all, participating in the Quibids auction is incredibly fun. Because each bid costs a little to place, shoppers can strategize when to place their bids. Each auction has a strict time limit. When you place your bid, the system adds a little time to the auction to see if any other bids come in. If you have the winning bid when the clock runs out ---- you win the item for that price.
But the best part of Quibids may be the “Buy-It-Now” feature. This allows bidders who did not win an auction to still buy the product they want and apply the cost of the bids they placed as a discount on the regular product price. So you still get the item and the bids you placed previously in the auction don’t cost you anything!
小题1:According to the passage, the success of Quibids mainly lies in .| A．how its buying and selling is conducted | B．the change in people’s shopping model | | C．the quality of the goods and service | D．their willingness to risk losing money |
小题2:It can be inferred from the passage that .| A．other retailers will be out of business | B．winning a bid is not just a matter of luck | | C．Quibids only sell popular electronics | D．the prices on Quibids are the lowest |
小题3:A buyer who bid twice for a $ 20 MP4 can get one from “Buy-It-Now” for .| A．$ 21.2 | B．$ 20 | C．$ 19.4 | D．$ 18.8 |
小题4:Which might be the most suitable title for the passage?| A．Buy Products for Next to Nothing | B．How to Buy New Must–have Electronics | | C．The Most Successful Shopping Website | D．Tips on Shopping Online |

After six months of living in New Zealand, I realized one thing. Despite my 1 for greater contact with local students, 2 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, 3 and sometimes snobby （势利的） people. Of course we know that’s not true. I want to change their opinions.
After 4 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 5 them, and that I was worthy of being a friend.
A side-effect of my 6 confidence was that my emotions occasionally broke down Only in the 7 of my room, where no one could see, would I reveal my real emotions. All the rejections, funny looks, and 8 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 9 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 10 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 11 in New Zealand, I believe one thing will always be true: If you try your best to reach your goals, you’ll achieve your 12 dreams.
