Making friends is a skill.Like most skills, it improves with 1 . If you want to meet people and make
friends,you must be 2 to do things.You must first go where there are people.You won"t make friends
staying at home 3 . Join a club or group because talking with those who like the same things as you is
easier. Or 4 someone in some activities.
Many people are 5 when talking to people.After all,meeting 6 means facing the unknown. It"s
7 to feel a little uncomfortable about it.Most of our 8 about dealing with new people come from
doubts about ourselves.We imagine other people are 9 us, finding us too tall or too short, too this or too
that.But don"t 10 that they must be feeling the same way. Try to 11 yourself as you are, and try to
make the other person feel comfortable.You"ll both feel 12 comfortable.
Try to act 13 even if you don"t feel that way.When you enter a room full of 14 , such as a new
classroom,walk straight, 15 at the other people and smile.If you see someone you"d like to speak to, say
something.Don"t 16 the other person to start a conversation.
17 someone new doesn"t mean that you will make friends with that person. 18 comes when both
people like each other,and "give and take".It takes time and 19 to develop.And there are some things that

The Internet is a computer network that uses the telephone system to connect together millions of
computers around the world.
Maybe that isn"t very exciting but once you"re connected to the Internet, there are lots and lots of
different things you can do. You can send electronic messages or "e-mails" to your friends (as long as
they"re on the Internet, too), or you can sort through all kinds of information on something called the
World Wide Web.
You don"t need to know how the Internet works in order to use it, but if you understand the basics,
it may help you work out any technical problems you have - and of course you can help your friends
with your knowledge!
You may think that your telephone is just for talking. But as long as you have the equipment (设备),
you can use a telephone line to send computer data (数据) as well as sounds. If you connect your
computer with the telephone system, it can receive information from and to other computers (as long as
they are connected with the telephone system, too).
Because there is not an organization which operates the Internet, no one exactly knows how many
people are connected to it. It"s thought that there could be 60 million people on the Net, connected up to
over 15 million computers! et | | 1. If you want to link your PC with the Internet, you need, first of all, to ______. | A. learn how to operate a computer
B. know how to make a telephone call
C. have a telephone
D. learn how to type on a computer | | 2. You can keep in touch with your friends by e-mail. The condition is that _______. | A. they also have their own telephones
B. they also have their own computers
C. you have already known their telephone numbers
D. they are also connected to the Internet | | 3. According to the writer, it"s better to _______. | A. know how to work out technical problems besides using the Internet
B. use the Internet besides working out technical problems
C. sort through all kinds of information on the World Wide Web
D. help your friends connect their PCs with the Intern | |
| 阅读理解。 | What should you think about when trying to find your career? You are probably better at some school
subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at
mathematics can use that in an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at
office work. So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. On the other hand, you may
not have any specially strong subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not
all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. A knowledge of history is not
required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts
and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.
Your school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your
work. You may be good at metalwork or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills. If
you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else,
you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers.
You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become
interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job.
Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle
tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is better to face any weakness
than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an
important part of your background. You should not be apologetic(认错的) about it but instead recognize that
you will have a chance of a fresh start at work. | | 1. What is the passage mainly about? | A. The importance of working hard at school.
B. Choosing a career according to one"s strengths.
C. How to face one"s weakness.
D. The value of school work. | | 2. The writer thinks that a student have a part-time job is probably _____. | A. a good way to find out his weak points
B. one of the best ways of earning extra money
C. of great use for his work in the future
D. a waste of time he could have spent on study | | 3. From the passage we learn that if a student"s school performance is not good, he _____. | A. should pay more attention to learning skills and developing abilities
B. will be regretful about his bad results
C. may also do well in his future work
D. should restart his study in school | | 4. The underlined phrase "be all thumbs" (in para 3) probably means"_____". | A. be clumsy at doing things
B. be skillful in doing things
C. be not interested in certain things
D. be easily bored in doing things | | 阅读理解。 | In the Harry Potter films, Hermione Granger is better than her male friends and is considered the brightest
pupil in her grade. Isn"t it often the same in schools of our real world?
"It"s surprising but true that most of the top students have been girls since primary school. Girls are class
leaders, club presidents and the top ones in exams," said Wang Feixuan, 15, who studies at a Chengdu school.
By any measure, Wang herself is a high-achiever. She is a top student, a team leader in her school"s sports club
and a winner in national English and IT competitions.
But why do so many girls outperform their male peers?
In Sun Yunxiao"s latest book Save Our Boys, he points out that the education system is"more suited to
girls, who are good at memorizing and like to sit quietly and read." Yet he also says that girls have to do so
much more when they compete with males for honors, top universities and later good jobs. They can feel great
pressure nearly every day.
This seems to be the same in most countries in the world. Young women in the United States are also
reported to feel the same pressure to be perfect.
"Let"s look at what we ask of our teenage girls," says Professor Stephen Hinshaw in an interview. He thinks
that it"s no longer enough that a girl does well in school and is a caring friend. On the TV, on the Internet and
everywhere, girls see images of impossible perfection.
Today"s young women must be good learners, good athletes, and fill their after-school lives with other
activities. But they are also asked to have the styles and looks of popular stars."Be pretty, sweet and nice. Be
athletic, competitive and get straight. Be impossibly perfect." Stephen Hinshaw sums up. | | 1. The passage suggests that _____. | A. our society asks far too much of teenage girls
B. teenage girls shouldn"t be so perfect at school
C. boys are always lazy ones rather than girls
D. American girls have less pressure than Chinese girls | | 2. According to the passage, it is true that _____. | |
|
A. boys are less smart than girls throughout school life
B. boys usually don"t have so much pressure as girls do
C. girls are all fond of the Chinese education system
D. girls are better at school because boys don"t work hard | | 3. The underlined word "outperform" means _____. | A. hate
B. misunderstand
C. like
D. defeat | | 4. What is the best title for the passage? | A. Impossibly Perfect Is Possible.
B. Why Are Girls So Perfect?
