阅读理解。     If you do not use your arms of your legs for some time, they become weak. When you start using them
again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows this. Yet there are many people who do not seem
to know that one"s memory works in the same way. When someone says that he has a good memory, he
really means that he keeps his memory in practice by exercising it regularly. When someone else says that
his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong.
     If a friend complains that his arms are weak, we know that it is his own fault. But if he tells us that he
has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame, or that he is just unlucky, and few of us
realize that it is really his own fault. Not all of us can become very strong or very clever, but all of us can
improve our memory by the same means-practice.
     Have you ever noticed that people who cannot read or write usually have a better memory than those
who can? Why is this? Of course, because people who can"t read or write have to remember things: they
cannot write them down in a little notebook. They have to remember dates, prices, names, songs and stories,
so their memory is exercised all the time.
     So if you want a good memory, learn from those who cannot read or write: practice remembering. 1. According t the passage, few people know that _______. A. arms or legs become weak if they are not used for some time
B. when they start using their arms of legs again, they slowly become strong again
C. a person"s memory becomes weak if he does not practice remembering things
D. it is their own fault if their arms or legs are weak2. The author thinks that if a person has a poor memory, ________.A. it is his own fault
B. his parents are to blame
C. he is just unlucky
D. his arms must be weak3. From Paragraph 3, we can learn that ________. A. people who can"t read are cleverer than those who can
B. people who can"t write are cleverer than those who can
C. a little notebook helps people who cannot read or write get a better memory
D. people who practice remembering regularly have a better memory 4. The passage mainly tells us ________. A. how to get our arms and legs stronger
B. how to improve our memory
C. how to read and write
D. how to remember dates and prices

     What I like best is seeing Arsenal win and playing football. If I am feeling sad I will play a football game
on my Play Station 2. The best day I have ever had was when I finished first in the 800-metre race at my
secondary school. It was a school record, although I didn"t know that at the time. My family makes me happy,
too.
     Antonio
     My little sister makes me sad because she always tells tales on me to my mum. If I am having a bad day,
food cheers me up. I like chili con came and sweet chili crisps. It makes me happy because I want to be big
and have lots of energy.
     Usman
     I haven"t done anything very exciting in my life but one of my best achievements is that I got a good report
from my school this year, because last year I got a bad one. People on TV make me laugh, particularly Eddie
Murphy. If I am having a bad day I watch Basil Brush. I am good at making other people happy. I just talk and
my friends start laughing-they think I am silly.

     If I"m having a bad day, knowing that someone is there for me can make me happy. I wouldn"t say I"m the
best at making other people happy, but I know that just being a good friend to other people is important. The
things I like doing are singing, dancing, hanging out with my friends and just being lively and funny.
     Kinzey
     The most exciting thing I have ever done in my life was when I went abseiling in Wales. But that was a one-
off. The things I do all the time are playing football, watching movies and going to places with my friends. I

阅读理解。     Complainers have a complaint about everything in their life. This usually comes from the fact that they
are unsatisfied or angry about their own personal lives. The complainer has a need for their concerns to be
accepted. Whether it is in their professional or personal life, the complainer can"t have peace of mind until
someone listens to their concerns. They feel dissatisfied and they don"t just want things to change-they want
to be heard and understood. The key to effectively dealing with a complainer is by using your active listening
skills and trying to understand what their interests and needs are. They want to be heard and acknowledged-
not ignored and argued with.
     Listen to the concerns. It"s not enough sometimes just to fix the problems. The person has a psychological
need for someone to acknowledge his or her concerns. Let them get all of these piled frustrations (挫折) out
of their system before you address the problem. Listen and accept what they have to say. Encourage them to
keep on talking until all these frustrations have been let out.
     Empathy (同情) with them. Imagine yourself walking around in their shoes and see the situation from
their point of view. Empathy is an important tool that you can use to serve cooperation. Use empathetic
statements such as, "If l were in your shoes, I"d be really angry, too."Reword their concerns back in your
own words. This lets them know that you have been listening and have understood everything correctly.
Repeating is also a powerful agreement-building tool.
     Ask them what they would like you to do. In most cases, you will already know what the person wants,
but ask them what they would like you to do because it lets them walk away happy. 1. By saying "If I were in your shoes, I"d be really angry, too.", the listener means ____. A. If I put on your shoes, I would be angry too
B. If I wore your shoes, I would also be happy too
C. If I were in your situation, I would also be angry
D. If I knew the situation of your shoes, I would not wear them 2. According to the passage, what"s the main purpose of the complainer"s complaints? A. They want to have an argument with someone.
B. They are concerned about others" life.
C. They are dissatisfied with both their job and their life.
D. They need a listener and understanding. 3. According to the passage, what would you best say before getting away from a complainer if you were
    a listener? A. I"m sorry to hear that, but it"s no use complaining like that.
B. I"m also unsatisfied with my own job.
C. Pardon? What job would you like better?
D. What can I do for you? 4. The author writes the passage mainly to ____. A. teach readers how to deal with complainers
B. teach readers to be patient with complainers
C. help deal with complainers" problems

阅读下面短文,并根据短文后的要求答题(请注意问题后的字数要求)。      Even if you really enjoy your job, it"s still possible to battle boredom as you work. You may not be able to
make big changes-or change your job-but you can make small adjustments to your routine that can make every
day seem, well, a little less routine.
     1. Switch Your Seat
     Change your outlook at the office by changing your office. Ask your supervisor to help you find a new desk.
Even switching desks with a neighboring co-worker can offer a fresh atmosphere.
     If it"s not possible to change your location, see if you can change your desk"s direction. A new view can be
just as refreshing as a new location.
     2. _____
     Start and end your day in a different way. Consider a new mode of transportation, if it"s possible. Take a
subway. Ride a bike on sun- ny days. Carpool with a co-worker. Use a new route to get to your job. You needn"t
change it for ever-just long enough to help you escape the boredom.
     3. Find a New Work Style
     Sick of attending that long-standing Monday morning meeting? Try to change it to the afternoon.
     If you find yourself feeling most bored in the afternoons, try to arrange to do your favorite tasks then and
tackle less desirable projects in the mornings.
     If you usually communicate with co-workers via email and instant messaging, start dealing with people face
to face. Increased communication with co-workers may help improve your mood.
     4. Get and Set a Goal
     If your work is short of objectives, it"s no wonder that work has become boring. Identify a goal and set an
"achieve by" date for it.
     Your goal needn"t be lofty as long as you have sufficient enthusiasm for it. Perhaps you want to make a new
project. Maybe you"d like to pursue a promotion. Or you may even set a goal of finding a new job altogether.
Whatever it is, actively move toward an objective. 1. What is the purpose of the passage? (within 15 words)

阅读理解。     A popular student in her small high school, Katie started college expecting to do well in her courses and be
best friends with her roommates. But things didn"t turn out that way. Psych 101, the course she thought would
be a first-semester favorite, turned out to be a struggle. And her roommates were as different from Katie as the
student restaurant"s mystery meat was from her mom"s roasted pork.
     Living away from home tends to be the toughest adjustment for first-year students. You may feel homesick
in your first weeks or months. It can help to call, write, or email your parents and friends making them know
how you"re doing. You can also talk with your roommates. As first-year students themselves, "re probably
experiencing many of the same fears and worries that you"re dealing with.
     But what if you don"t get along well with your roommates?
     In some cases, it can be a good thing if you and your roommates aren"t much alike. Different views on things
may be helpful, so respect your differences no matter what they are.
     If you and your roommates don"t get along well, it can help to find someone who you feel does understand
you, which should be easy on a campus with so many people. Many schools have student organization nights
where all of the campus clubs gather and promote their organizations, so you can meet people with the same
interests there as you. You"ll also meet tons of people in class or in your dorm building.
     As homesickness, painful throats, sprained (扭伤的) ankles and wisdom teeth that act up are common
among college students, you should check out your student guidebook or your school"s website to find out
information about the university health center.
     If you think you cannot deal with your problems, make a stop at the school counseling (咨询) center. First-
year troubles are something the counselors know well. You can get help there. 1. From Paragraph l we can infer that ____. A. Katie had been worried about the changes before starting her college life
B. Katie felt satisfied when her college life started
C. Katie wasn"t used to the new environment in college at first
D. Katie has fallen behind in her study after the first semester in college 2. What"s the author"s suggestion on dealing with homesickness?A. Adjust to it.
B. Share fears and worries with your parents.
C. Talk to your roommates about it.
D. Get along with your roommates. 3. Which of the following ways of dealing with roommates is RIGHT? A. Not trying to change them.
B. Not making friends with them.
C. Developing the same interests as them.
D. Not talking with them. 4. What"s the main idea of the text?A. Freshmen may meet many problems.

C. How you can adjust to your first year in college.
