Oprah Winfrey revolutionized the talk show market with her unique and natural style and rose to become
the host of the most watched daytime show on television, which boasts 22 million viewers daily (three-fourths
of whom are women).She is the first African American to own her own TV studio. The multitalented Winfrey
is also a millionaire businesswoman, a talented actress, owner of a movie production company, and committed
philanthropist(慈善家).
"I was taught to read at an early age. By the time I was three, I was reciting speeches in the church.
They"d put me up on the program, and say, "Little Mistress Winfrey will render a recitation," and I would do
"Jesus rose on Easter Day, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, all the angels did proclaim.""
Oprah Winfrey"s public speaking career began in 1957.At three, she was speaking in church, by her teens
she was touring the churches of Nashville, reciting the sermons of James Weldon Johnson. Other children
sang, Oprah talked. And she"s still talking -but to much larger audiences. The path that led from her
grandmother"s farm in Kosciusko, Mississippi to becoming the first African-American woman billionaire is a
story of unwavering (不动摇的) focus and unrelenting (不屈不挠的) determination.
Taught to read by her grandmother at an age when most children are only learning to talk, Oprah became a
voracious (如饥似渴的) reader-a habit she retains to this day. Books became her outlet to the world and the
basis of her passionate belief in education. An actress of nomination. Some call her lucky, but Oprah Winfrey
doesn"t believe in luck. She believes"luck is preparation meeting opportunity." Her rise from reading the news on a small radio station to being the first woman in history to own and produce her own television talk show proves her point.
A seeker of truth in herself and in others, her empathy (执著), honesty, and love of people have made her
one of the most beloved women in America; a teacher who educates a devoted audience about subjects as
varied as sexual abuse, divorce, children"s issues, and countless other important subjects; a close friend who
visits over 20 million homes a day.

film got ＄1 billion in ticket sales in a very short time. The story in the film happens on an alien planet called
Pandora where many strange species live. Among the planet"s inhabitants (居民,栖息动物), the one that has
the most similarities with humans is the Na"vi, and it is the struggle between the Na"vi and human invaders (入
侵者) that forms the story of the film. As to the factors (因素) leading to the film"s success, many think that
the entertaining feast (盛宴) for the eyes and the wonderful story shouldn"t be forgotten, but the new language
invented especially for the film which provides audiences with a new experience also plays an important part.
In order to increase the truthfulness of an alien race (外星人), the film"s director James Cameron asked an
expert in languages from the University of Southern California to invent a language for the Na"vi. Professor Paul Frommer combined the languages spoken among Indians, Africans and mid-Asians and worked with James
Caneron for four years to create the Na"vi language based on the original 30 words that the director had already
come up with.
According to Professor Frommer, the most important characteristic of the Na"vi language is that it could be
pronounced."This is an alien language but obviously it has to be spoken by human actors and actresses,"
Professor Frommer told the BBC, "it has to sound natural and it should make human beings comfortable when
using it."
The language has a vocabulary of around 1000 words but Progessor Formmer hopes to enlarge the
vocabulary in possible follow-ups to the film and in video games. The professor hopes that one day his
creation will be as successful as the Klingon alien language from the"Star Trek"films."There"s a translation of
Hamlet into Klingon and it has received great popularity among the audiences," says Professor Frommer, "if
anything like this happens to the Na"vi language, I"d be very happy."
B. It brings the producer ＄1 billion in total.
C. The story in it happens on an alien planet.
D. It talks about humans and aliens" friendship.
B. make the Na"vi more believable
C. make the Na"vi different from humans
D. make the film have specific characteristics
B. An Indian.
C. James Cameron
D. Hamlet.
B. it has just 30 original words
C. it has a vocabulary of 1000 words.
D. it is like the Klingon alien language
A. James Cameron will produce follow-ups to"Avatar"
B. the Na"vi language is another kind of the Klingon language
C. the director believes the Na"vi language will be popular
D. Paul Frommer hopes to add new words to the Na"vi language
anyway.
Although my father wasn"t a doctor, he made his own brand of "house calls. I followed him as he brought
a plate of my mother"s home cooking to an elderly man named Frank on all major holidays and when Frank
was sick. As far as I know, their only connection was that Frank was an occasional customer at Dad"s small
gas station. Frank"s home was a two-room house on the rough side of town with an old front porch (门廊)
where you could fall if you weren"t careful. Frank had no relatives and as far as I could tell, no other visitors
either. Through his attitude of caring, my father was teaching me to be a doctor, although neither of us knew
it at the time.
When I was 13, my father developed lung cancer. He brought home a diagram the doctor had drawn
showing where his cancer was and told me that he was going to die. He asked me to take care of my mother
when he was gone. I was an only child. He said he loved me on the night when he died.
When you"re 13 and your father dies, you have some choices to make. You can use the situation as an
excuse for letting your actions and grades go down, or you can honor his memory and try to do something
positive with yourself. I focused my energy on my schoolwork and my goal of becoming a doctor.
B. Being kind to Frank.
C. His attitude towards the author.
D. His wish that his son would be a doctor.
B. Father developed lung cancer
C. Father asked him / her to take care of Mother
D. Father died
B. The author was too sorrowful to go on studying.
C. The author used the situation as an excuse to quit school.
D. The author worked harder to achieve his goal of becoming a doctor.
B. In return for Father"s help, Frank usually came up at his gas station.
C. The author had no sisters or brothers.
D. The author was deeply influenced by Father"s doctor who treated his cancer.
B. What Led Me to Be a Doctor
C. How to Help Strangers
D. How to Deal with Death
Understand what dogs are "saying"
It"s important to understand what dogs are saying with their bodies, not only to know your own dog but to
better predict what other dogs are doing.
To really read dog body language takes experience. I encourage you to watch your own dog(s) and others.
Go to the dog park and watch dogs interacting. Watch different body parts (ears, tails, eyes, lips, hair, overall
posture) separately for a while. See if you can predict which body stances (姿态) lead to which activities or
outcomes.
Confidence/Fear
Signs of confidence: erect stance (standing tall), tail up, tail wagging in a slower sweep, ears pricked up (竖
起) or relaxed, direct look; relaxed, smaller pupils (瞳孔).
Signs of fear or concern: lowered stance, tail down or tucked under, tail wagging in a quick, frantic (狂乱
的) buzz; looking away or turning head away to look so that whites of eyes show ("whale eye"); dilated (扩大
的) pupils. Dogs often bark out of fear, in an attempt to keep a distance between themselves and the Big Scary
Thing, especially if they are cornered, fenced in, or on a leash (束缚).
This little puppy is looking confidently at the camera. His tail is up; he looks directly at us with no whites
showing in his eyes, and his ears, though a little hard to see, are pricked forward.
This dog is relaxed and confident, with her tail curled over her back, her ears relaxed, and comfortably
lying down. Her ball is between her feet in a clear sign of possession.
This black lab pup is unsure about the plastic ducky (and maybe the water, too). Notice most of her body
is still on shore while she stretches her neck out to sniff. She"s not fearful, just uncertain.
Here she"s a lot more confident looking! Her tail is straight up (starting to curl back), and her body is
compacted and one foot is lifted-she"s ready for the next move!
This dog is fearful and lacking in confidence. His back is arched with his butt and head lowered, his legs
are bent, his tail is down (though not tucked under his body). He"s looking at the thing that"s scaring him.
This puppy is clearly fearful and hiding under his person"s legs. His head and back are lowered, his ears are
down, and his pupils are dilated (showing red in the camera flash).I would not reach out to this puppy-I would
expect him to back away, growl, and maybe even snap at such an invasion of his space.(Instead, I would use
Calming Signals such as turning sideways, looking away, yawning, touching the ground in an imitation of dog
sniffing, and if the dog seems to relax I might hold my hand out to a neutral space between us for him to sniff).
If playing dogs get too aroused, you might want to intervene. If your dog is getting overwhelmed or is
overwhelming someone else, invite them to take a short break. No punishment is necessary.

Body language is extremely important in an interviewing situation. Some would argue that it is just as
important as what you say and what is on your resume (个人简历). Why? Because we can learn quite a bit
about people from their non-verbal actions. This is one of the ways that an interviewer tries to size you up
as a candidate (求职应征者).
When we are in stressful or uncomfortable situations, many of us have habits that can be distracting (使
不安的) to other people. Certainly biting ones nails or fidgeting with ones" hands could be distracting from
what you are trying to say. These are examples of body language that can be harmful in an interviewing
situation. Used correctly, however, body language can reinforce (加强,增强) what you are saying and give
greater impact to your statements. The following are tips to help you give the right non-verbal clues.
The Seven Signals for Success
So far we have focused primarily on the pitfalls (缺陷) to avoid; but what messages should be sent, and how? Here are seven general suggestions on good body language for the interview.
1. Walk slowly, deliberately, and tall upon entering the room.
2. On greeting the interviewer, give (and, hopefully, receive) a friendly "eyebrow flash": that brief, slight
raising of the brows that calls attention to the face, encourages eye contact, and (when accompanied by a
natural smile)sends the strong positive signal that the interview has gotten off to a good start.
3. Use mirroring techniques. In other words, make an effort-subtly!-to reproduce the positive signals your
interviewer sends. (Of course, you should never mirror negative body signals.) Say the interviewer leans
forward to make a point; a few moments later, you lean forward slightly in order to hear better. Say the
interviewer leans back and laughs; you "laugh beneath" the interviewer"s laughter, taking care not to overwhelm
your interviewer by using an inappropriate volume level. This technique may seem contrived at first, but you
will learn that it is far from that, if only you experiment a little.
4. Maintain a naturally alert head position; keep your head up and your eyes front at all times.
5. Remember to avert your gaze from time to time so as to avoid the impression that you are staring; when
you do so, look confidently and calmly to the right or left; never look down.
6. Do not hurry any movement. 7.Relax with every breath.

Choosing friends
Before you make friends, you have to decide who you want to be your friends. Mo.st people like to have
friends who like to do the same kind of things as they do. That doesn"t mean you have to be exactly like each
other, just that you enjoy some of the same things. Think about your favorite things to do and try to talk to
your classmates at lunch or rest about your hobbies. You are sure to find at least one person who"s excited
about the same things that excite and interest you, too.
Making friends
①The 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 you can practice smiling in front of a mirror. When you
look at yourself in the mirror, think if you"d rather talk to your smiling face or your usual scared or angry face.
②One easy way to start a conversation with someone is to say something nice about them. Think about
how great you feel when someone says something nice to you. Doesn"t it make you want to talk to him?
③Ask your new friend"s questions about themselves. It"s the only way to get to know what they"re like
and it"s the only way they"ll know that you are interested in them.
④Make sure you have something to add to the conversation, too. When someone asks you a question, do
have an answer for them. There is nothing that will stop a conversation quicker than a shrug (耸肩) for an
answer. Activities
After you"ve made a friend who shares the same interests with you, it"s always fun to plan activities together
that you"ll both enjoy. Inviting a friend to your house after school is a great way to make your friendship closer.
If you know a game your friend likes to play, you can plan to do that together. When you play a computer
game, one person is always left sitting with nothing to do but watch Not fun.
B. both of you enjoy some of the same interests
C. you have talked to him or her at lunch or rest about your hobbies
D. you have little in common with each other
B. starting a conversation first
C. asking some questions about him or her
D. giving a shrug instead of an answer
B. invite your friend to your house at weekends
C. be always doing something by yourself with your friend left doing nothing
D. play basketball together in your free time
