Maria was very angry, but she was very polite. And in her best English she said, ―Why are you so upset? There are enough seats for everyone on the plane. If you are in such a hurry, why can‘t you give me a hand with my luggage?‖

The man was surprised to hear Maria speak English. He quickly picked up her luggage and stepped back. Everyone was looking at him with disapproval. (224 words)

1.Maria‘s story happened __. D. when she arrived at the airport

2.You believer that the work of the airline employee mentioned in the story is to ___at the airport. C. check people’s luggage

3.―Why are you so upset?‖ Maria said to the man. She wanted to tell him that he should not be ___. C. unhappy

4.―Everyone was looking at him with disapproval.‖ This sentence means that the people around felt __. D. sorry for the man’s manners

5.The author mentioned Maria‘s age at the beginning of the story in order to show that ___. A. she was young but behaved properly Shyness is the cause of much

unhappiness for a great many people. Shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are excessively concerned with their own appearance and actions. Worrisome thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: what kind of impression am I making? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattractive clothes? It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must negatively affect people. A person‘s conception of himself or herself is reflected in the way he or she behaves, and they way a person behaves affects other people‘s reactions. In general, the way people think about themselves has a profound effect on all areas of their lives. Shy people, having low self-esteem, are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others. They need reassurance that they are doing ―the right thing.‖ Shy people are very sensitive to criticism; they feel it confirms their feelings of inferiority. They also find it difficult to be pleased by compliment with a statement like this one, ―You‘re just saying that to make me feel good. I know it‘s not true.‖ It is clear that while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful. Can shyness be completely eliminated, or at least reduced? Fortunately, people can overcome shyness with determined and patient efforts in building self-confidence. Since shyness goes hand in hand with a lack of self-esteems, it is important for people to accept their weakness as well as their strengths. Each one of us is a unique, worthwhile individual, interested in our own personal ways. The better we understand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our full potential. Let‘s not allow shyness to block our chances for a rich and fulfilling life.

1.What does the author try to prove by citing ―what kind of impression am I making?‖ B. People’s shyness made them care too much about their appearance and actions. 2.According to the writer, self-awareness is ___. A. a good quality 3.When being praised, shy people feel that it is ____. B. unreal

Some of the notebooks George

Washington kept as a young man are still in existence. They show that he was learning Latin, was very interested in the basics of good behavior in society, and was reading English literature.

At school he seems only to have been interested in mathematics. In fact, his

formal education was surprisingly brief for a gentleman, and incomplete. For unlike other young Virginians of that day, he did not go to the College of William and Mary in the Virginian capital of Williamsburg. In terms of formal training then, Washington contrasts sharply with some other early American Presidents such as John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. In later years, Washington probably regretted his lack of intellectual training. He never felt comfortable in a debate in Congress, or on any subject that had not to do with everyday, practical matters. And because he never learned French and could not speak directly to the French leaders, he did not visit the country he admired so much. Thus, unlike Jefferson and Adams, he never reached Europe.

1. Why didn‘t Washington go to college? D.The author doesn’t give any reason. 2. Washington felt uncomfortable in

Congress debates because he B. felt his education was not good enough 3. The reason why Washington didn‘t visit France was probably that he .C.

couldn’t communicate directly with the French leaders

4. According to the author .A.

Washington’s lack of formal education placed him at a disadvantage in later life 5. The main idea of the passage is that Washington‘s education .D. was rather limited for a president

The French Revolution broke out in 1789. At the time France was in a crisis. The government was badly run and people‘s lives were miserable. King Louis XIV tried to control the national parliament and raise more taxes. But his effort failed. He ordered his troops to Versailles. The people thought that Louis intended to put down the Revolution by force. On July 14,1789, they stormed and took the Bastille, where political prisoners were kept. Ever since that day, July 14 has been the French National Day. Louis tried to flee the country in 1792 to get support from Austria and Prussia. However, he was caught and put in prison. In September 1792, the monarchy was abolished. In the same year, Louis was executed. A few months later his wife, Marie also had her head cut off. The Revolution of France had frightened the other kings of Europe. Armies from Austria and Prussia began to march against France. The French raised republican armies to defend the nation. The Revolution went through a period of terror. Thousands of people lost their lives. In the end, power passed to Napoleon Bonaparte. (190 words)

Short-term goals are those that usually deal with current activities, which we can apply on a daily basis. Such goals can be achieved in a week or less, or two weeks, or possibly, months. It should be remembered that just as a building is no stronger than its foundation, long-term goals cannot amount to very much without the achievement of solid short-term goals. Upon completing our short-term goals, we should date the occasion and then add new short-term goals that will build on those that have been completed.

The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-term goals. They might deal with just one term of school or the entire school year, or they could even extend for several years. Any time you move a step at a time, you should never allow yourself to become discouraged or overwhelmed. As you complete each step, you will enforce the belief in your ability to grow and succeed. And as your list of completion dates grow, your motivation and desire will increase.

Long-term goals may be related to our dreams of the future. They might cover five years or more. Life is not a static thing. We should never allow a long-term goal to limit us or our course of action.(221 words)

1.Our long-term goals mean a lot __. B. If we complete the short-term goals

The modern sailing ship was developed by a man who never went to sea. He was Prince Henry of Portugal, the younger son of the Portuguese king and an English princess.

Prince Henry lived in the fifteenth

century. As a boy he became devoted to the sea, and he dedicated himself to improving the design of ships and the methods of sailing them. In 1416, when he was twenty-two, Henry founded a school for mariners（海员）, to which he invited everyone who could help him—Jewish astronomers (天文学家), Italian and Spanish sailors, and Arab mathematicians and map makers who knew how to use the crude (粗糙的) compass (罗盘) of the day and could improve it.

Henry‘s goal was to design and equip vessels (船) that would be capable of making long ocean voyages without having to keep close to the shore. The caravel (轻快帆船), which he helped design, carried more sails and was longer and slimmer than any ship then made, yet was tough enough to stand up against gales（大风） at sea. He also developed the carrack（西班牙大帆船）, which was a slower ship, but one that was capable of carrying more cargo（货物）. The world owes credit to Prince Henry for the development of craft (船舶) that made oceanic exploration possible. He lives in history as Henry the Navigator.

2. Prince Henry started his school for the purpose of ___. A. helping mariners

3. The teachers in Prince Henry‘s school seemed to have been___. B. astronomers, sailors and map makers

There was once a man in South

America who had a parrot, a pet bird that could imitate human speech. The parrot was unique. There was no other bird like him in the whole world. He could learn to say any word except one. He could not say the name of his native town, Cotano. The man did everything he could to teach the parrot to say ―Cotano‖ but he never succeeded. At first he was very gentle with the bird, but gradually he lost his temper. ―You stupid bird! Why can‘t you learn to say that One word! Say ?Cotano‘ or I‘ll kill you!‖ But the parrot would not say it. Many times the man screamed, ―Say ?Cotano‘ or I‘ll kill you!‖ But the bird would never repeat the name. Finally the man gave up.

Today the official language of the United States and most of Canada is English. However， French almost became the official language because of a war.

The French and Indian War was fought between 1754 and 1763. The name of this war is not accurate because the war was actually between England and France. The Indians fought on the side of the French. France and England were trying to gain control of North America. France held Canada， and England held part of what is now the United States. However， France tried to expand its land by moving southward into New York， Pennsylvania， Ohio， and Virginia. When the French built a fort (堡垒) on the Ohio River， the residents in Virginia sent George Washington to attack the fort in 1754. However， the French defeated Washington.

The French， aided by the Indians， outsmarted (比...更聪明,打败) the English and won many early battles. Later， the British began to do well against the French. In the final battle in Quebec， Canada， General Wolfe of England faced General Montcalm from France. Both generals died in this battle， but the English outlasted (较...耐久)the French and won the battle. Thus， most of North America today has the English culture and language.
