Knowing how to communicate well needs very personal attention between you and another human being. Is there a better way to learn how to communicate effectively? Yes, there is. Please follow the 3 basic steps below.

       Relax and breathe

    Whether it's a business meeting or a first date, the first thing you must do in order to communicate is to relax.

    When you relax, you are in control. You control your reactions and your reactions do not control you. Breathing is central to relaxation. Take a few deep breaths and your body will begin to be more at ease. This will help you apply what you already know about how to communicate well.

       Think and you will be prepared

    Have you ever heard the old saying "think before you speak"? Well, it is true. By thinking ahead about how the conversation might flow, you will be better prepared, more at ease and more confident.

       Follow the flow of the conversation

    If you are uncomfortable, being silent will only make it worse and make the other person uncomfortable as well. So when all else fails, follow through with small talk until a common topic appears.

    A good way to keep a conversation going is to ask the other person questions. People love to talk about themselves and if you do this, they will leave the conversation, thinking very highly of you. Learning good communication skills is not something out of reach. If you make an effort, you will succeed.

51. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?

A. How to Begin Your Conversation Effectively

B. Preparation and Conversation

C.Personal Attention and Communication

D. How to Communicate with People You Meet

52. If you want to talk with others successfully, the most important thing you should do is ________.

A. to make a good preparation for the conversation

B. to take as many deep breaths as possible

C. to keep calm and relax yourself fully

D. to follow the flow of the conversation

53. Why does relaxation play an important part in your good communication?

A. Because it can help you keep excited and react quickly in the communication.

B. Because it will help you organize good sentences for your communication.

C. Because it can help you put your communication skills that you know into use.

D. Because no one likes to communicate with a nervous person.

54. If you feel uncomfortable, you'd better ________.

A. talk small things until you find a topic you both like

B. speak freely so as to run across the topic you like

C. keep silent in order to give the chance of speaking to others

D. ask questions which you are interested in

B

To improve road safety and raise awareness among Russia’s notoriously (臭名昭著地) careless drivers, Russian police have tried to get drivers to slow down at zebra（斑马） crossings by having painted horses as zebras walk across on the busiest streets in some of the big cities.

The light grey horses, painted with black stripes（条纹）, carried signs on their backs reading: “Careful, children are on their way to school. ” The police sent the “zebras” to several different locations in the Russian capital, where officials in orange vests walked them over zebra crossings and handed out leaflets (传单) to passing drivers.

Some held up rainbow-coloured umbrellas over the painted animals to protect them from the rain. Russian roads are notoriously dangerous and drivers still rarely take steps to avoid pedestrians(行人). Nearly half of all traffic accidents in the country’s big cities are caused by cars hitting pedestrians, and a third of those occur on crossings, according to traffic police figures published last month.

In the first six months of this year, 378 people were killed and more than 6, 600 injured on pedestrian crossings in Russia, according to police. In Moscow alone, 43 people were killed, including two children.

Though police officials said that only safe paint would be used on the animals,  animal rights activists still disagreed with the idea, accusing the police of “treating animals like garbage”.

“Children understand that paints are bad for animals, ” the Interfax news agency quoted president of Vita animal rights group Irina Novozhilova as saying.

Let’s hope this part of the campaign is over and animals are left out of future attempts to raise pedestrians’ awareness.

56. Why do Moscow police have “zebras” walk across on the busiest streets?

A. To make a call on protecting animals.

B. To raise drivers’ awareness of road safety.

C. To tell people it is dangerous to cross streets.

D. To remind people zebras are in danger of extinction.

57. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A. The zebras. 　　　B. The policemen.  C. The horses.  D. The drivers.

58. From the text we can learn that ______.  

A. Russian drivers seldom give way to pedestrians

B. Russian drivers often ignore traffic lights

C. most Russian drivers have realized the seriousness of the problem

D. the driving skills of Russian drivers are bad

59. What do animal rights activists think of the new attempt?

A. Drivers must slow down at pedestrian crossings.

B. Road safety should be improved.

C. The paints used on the horses are safe.

D. These animals are ill-treated by the police.

60. Which word can best describe the author’s attitude towards the campaign?

A. Critical.   B. Confident  C. Doubtful.   D. Positive. 

C

Nowadays, it is more common for people to express their thoughts in an e-mail or text. In fact, more and more students use technology for written communication in their lives. Even so, research shows that teaching handwriting skills has its benefits. However, are the benefits worth spending valuable classroom time in teaching handwriting skills when students could be learning more about computer keyboarding?

 States across the country have good reasons to require students to learn computer keyboarding skills. For one, students are learning technology that will help them communicate faster with more people and in many different forms, such as e-mails, websites, blogs, and so on. Also the better a student’s computer keyboarding skills, the greater the chance that a student has to become a better writer. Computer tools such as the grammar and spell check make correcting quick and easy, although not 100％ accurate（准确的）. With these and many other tools，students gain important computer skills. Furthermore, students no longer have to worry about their writing being graded poorly by teachers. All in all, computer keyboarding skills are a step in the right direction.

Still, the advantages of computer keyboarding skills may not be enough to leave handwriting instruction in the dust. Marlena Hamilton, professor of neurology at University of Pennsylvania, did an experiment with her co-workers to study what happens in students’ brains when writing. They found that many of the areas of the brain light up. These are the same areas that are used to learn to read. They then wondered if the same would be true when students looked at letters on a keyboard. “What we found, “she states, “is that brains are much less involved when we just look at letters. When we actually use our hands to make things, the brain works much harder.”

Schools across the nation are looking at the evidence and deciding what to do. William McIntyre, a reading coach at Sunshine Elementary School in Albany, New York, says, “What we have learned from the research is that learning handwriting benefits students educationally. What we also know is that students need to be taught keyboarding skills. Now, it is up to each school to make a decision.

61. From the first paragraph, we can know that _______.

A. students don't want to learn handwriting skills any more

B. students don't like communicating with friends in person

C. students’ communicating by technology is more and more common

D. students spend more time in playing computer games than before

62. What does the second paragraph mainly want to show?

A. The roles of computer tools.

B. The advantages of computer keyboarding skills.

C. The importance of communication skills.

D. The necessity of developing writing skills.

63. What's the author's attitude to students’ learning keyboarding skills?

A. Worried       B. Doubtful       C. Uncaring        D. Supportive

64. What can the result of Hamilton’s experiment show?

A. Keyboarding skills are very useful.

B. Handwriting is helpful for students to learn.

C. Keyboarding makes our brain more active.

D. Handwriting is more difficult than keyboarding.

65. What kind of decision does the author refer to in the last paragraph?

A. Whether schools should offer computer classes.

B. Whether schools should still teach handwriting.

C. Whether students should learn keyboarding skills.

D. Whether students should use the grammar and spell check.

阅读下面短文，按照要求完成阅读任务。

My family had moved into a new house with big back yard. For some time, my older brother and I had been expecting a family pet. Finally, we managed to persuade our parents that the time had come for keeping one.

Though my brother and I were of like minds about the goal of having a family member, what exactly it meant to each of us was entirely different. I was excited and happy when my parents brought home the dog, Snoopy. Despite the fun of playing with him，I knew it was really more my brother’s pet than mine. I really, really wanted a cat! I tried to show my joy for getting a pet while trying to hide my disappointment that he wasn’t a cat. My parents must have known how I was feeling because they suggested that I could make a wish about it.

Running to my bedroom, I made a wish sincerely that I would have a cat. Not more than a minute or two passed when I heard a faint scratching sound（轻微的抓挠声） coming from the front door. Curious, I stood up, approaching the open front door. There, sitting calmly before me was a large, white cat.

I was absolutely amazed! I went close to the white cat, and it began walking towards me. I gathered his mass into my arms and then I went into the back yard where my parents and brother were playing with Snoopy. So, Snowball joined our household that day, too.

 Although my parents always denied having anything to do with Snowball's arrival, I guessed they might have. However, even if they did somehow arrange for him to appear at the front door at the very moment when I was making a wish for a cat, it would not reduce the miracle of a cat doing in my life.

作文范文

Film or book, which do you prefer?

In recent years, many movies have been adapted from literary works. Different people have different opinions.

Some of us think that it is better to see the film than to read the book in the original. The reason is that it takes less time to understand the whole story. Besides, the film is usually more interesting, and it is easier to follow.

Some others have just the opposite opinion. They think that they can get more detailed information from the original. Meanwhile, the language in the book is possibly more lively and beautiful.

Personally, I agree with the second view. Actually I have more reasons for it. I think I can stay at home, reading quietly in a situation of my own, and what's more, I am able to better understand the author's ideas. In a word, to read the original work is better than to see the film based on it.
