You’re in a crowd of people who are all asking for the same thing. How do you make your voice heard above the rest Be different. Don’t shout. Lisa, 25, was waiting to board a plane flying from London to Austria for Christmas when the flight was cancelled.
“There were about a hundred of us unable to leave,” she says. “Everyone else was shouting at the airport staff. Instead of joining in, I walked up to the man behind the ticket desk very quietly and said, ‘This must be so awful for you! I don’t know how you deal with these situations—it’s not even your fault. I could never handle it as well as you are.’ Without my even asking, he found me a seat on another airline with an upgrade to first class. He was happy to do a favor for someone who was appreciative instead of unfriendliness.”
Flattery (恭维) is an essential element of the sweet-talk strategy. “It’s human psychology that stroking a person’s ego (自我) with a few well-directed praises makes them want to prove you right,” says a psychologist. “Tell someone they’re pretty and they’ll instantly fix their hair; praise their sense of humor and they’ll tell a joke.”
You need help and there’s absolutely no reason that the person will want to lend a hand. Allison, 26. a lawyer, realized she’d made a huge mistake on a batch of documents. “The only way I could fix the problem was to get the help of a colleague who I knew didn’t like me,” she said.
Allison then went to the woman’s office and explained her problem. “As I was saying to the boss the other day you’re the only person who would know how to handle a situation like this, what would you suggest I do ” “Feeling pumped up (鼓励), she set about helping me and we finished the job on time, and she was happy to help.” Allison said.
24. What would have happened at the airport according to paragraph 1
A. Someone screamed just to be different.
B. The departure hall was filled with noise.
C. The passengers waited on board patiently.
D. The airport stuff were rude to the passengers.
25. Why did the man put Lisa on another airline
A. He appreciated her attitude. B. He admired Lisa’s beauty.
C. He was ready to help others. D. He was blamed for the cancellation.
26. What is the third paragraph mainly about
A. The potential benefits of ego. B. The strategy to start small talk.
C. The value of humor in daily life. D. The great importance of flattery.
27.What can we learn about Allison’s colleague
A. She was a popular lawyer.
B. She was always ready to help others.
C. She did a great favor for Allison eventually.
D. She always got praise from Allison.
C
For many parents, raising a teenager is like fighting a long war, but years go by without any clear winner. Like a border conflict between neighboring countries, the parent-teen war is about boundaries: Where is the line between what I control and what you do
Both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict. In part, this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it. From the parents’ point of view, the only cause of their fight is their adolescents’ complete unreasonableness. And of course, the teens see it in exactly the same way, except oppositely. Both feel trapped.
In this article, I’ll describe three no-win situations that commonly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap. The first no-win situation is quarrels over unimportant things. Examples include the color of the teen’s hair, the cleanliness of the bedroom, the preferred style of clothing, the child’s failure to eat a good breakfast before school, or his tendency to sleep until noon on the weekends. Second, blaming. The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong. Third, needing to be right. It doesn’t matter what the topic is—politics, the laws of physics, or the proper way to break an egg—the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong, for both wish to be considered an authority—someone who actually knows something—and therefore to command respect. Unfortunately, as long as parents and teens continue to assume that they know more than the other, they’ll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress.
28.Why does the author compare the parent-teen war to a border conflict
A. Neither has any clear winner.
B. Both can continue for generations.
C. Both are about where to draw the line.
D. Neither can be put to an end.
29.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean
A. The teens blame their parents for starting the conflict.
B. The teens agree with their parents on the cause of the conflict.
C. The teens cause their parents of misleading them.
D. The teens tend to have a full understanding of their parents.
30. Parents and teens want to be right because they want to ______.
A. gain respect from the other
B. know more than the other
C. give orders to the other
D. get the other to behave properly
31.What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows
A. Future of the parent-teen relationship.
B. Examples of the parent-teen war.
C. Causes for the parent-teen conflicts.
D. Solutions for the parent-teen problems.
D
As the birthplace of kites in the world, Weifang, Shandong province of China, produces beautiful, vivid, colorful and high-quality kites. Now, more than 70% of kites in the world are exported from Weifang. If you want to see various shapes and sizes of kites covering the sky, you cannot miss the Weifang Kite Festival held on the third Saturday of every April.

“Flying a kite is like flying your dream. All the cultural symbols from ancient and modem times can be found in the sky of Weifang,” noted Medium.

Eating better and exercising more are all nice ideas, but they're too general and don't give you a plan of action. People often lack motivation when the problem is really a lack of clarity.

Make it possible
37 . To eat better, put that bowl of fruit right next to your lunch bag, so you grab an apple or orange every day. To exercise more, you might want to run more. But if you're a night person, don't make it harder on yourself by trying to run every morning before work. 38 .
Allow yourself to fail
Everyone has occasional slips. 39 . 71% of successful resolvers say their first failure strengthened their efforts. Learn to refuse something annoying under high pressure. Even people who don't like apple pie still eat it when offered politely. Instead, say “No, thanks.” If you do slip, focus on getting back on track, not the slip.
Set yourself up for success

参考范文
Dear Jane,
I am really sorry to hear that you feel bad after a quarrel with your best friend. I’d like to give you some suggestions about it.
In fact, good friends may have different ideas on specific things, so you don’t have to worry too much about it. There is also something that you can do to change this situation. First, you should apologise to your friend, which can resolve the conflicts and let your friend calm down. Then, have a chat with your friend directly and honestly. I believe communicating is the best way to rebuild a friendship. Thirdly, the most important thing you need to do is to rethink your behavior. Don’t say anything when you lose temper. What you said in anger will deeply hurt your friend.
I hope my suggestions will be useful to you.
Your truly,
Li Hua
