If you have to attend a party or other social events where a lot of people will be present,do you feel confident that you will make a good impression on others?Or do you feel shy?In any case,you should increase your confidence at social events.
Whenever you are meeting new people at any social event,you should wear proper clothes.Before you attend the events,try to find out how other people will be dressing.If everyone else is wearing business clothes,you should,too.If the event is informal(不拘礼节的),you should wear informal clothes so that you can fit in.
If you are going to meet people from a certain business or profession,try looking through a few professional magazines or checking on the Internet ahead of time to get some conversation ideas that are related to their fields of interest.This can prevent you getting tongue-tied at the event.
When you are at the event,don’t worry about whether or not other people you are talking with like you.Instead,try your best to find reasons to like them.When you are making conversation with people,be sure to keep good eye contact,and make your facial expression soft.Nod to show you’re listening.Let your face and body relax so that you can make natural gestures.
After the event is over,take a bit of time to think of your social performance and the conversation you had with people.Tell yourself exactly what you did very well at the event.For example,perhaps you made a big effort to really listen to the people you were talking with,or you may have asked several people some good questions that really got them talking.
By doing so,your conversation confidence will gradually improve.

Lucio Arreola is 50 years old,the father of three daughters and a bank manager in Puerto Rico.He is going to have a surprising Father’s Day this year.He finds just about every day surprising now.Arreola has a new heart,or at least,new to him.On April 20,doctors transplanted(移植) the heart of a dead 25-year-old man into him.Although he may never know the man’s identity,he and his family will always be grateful to him.
Arreola was told he had a heart muscle disease 15 years ago that weakened his breathing and circulation,so he went on a lot of medications.His wife and daughters worried about his health,while he worried about their happiness.
Lucio Arreola has been recovering from his heart transplant surgery at Houston Methodist over the past two months.“One day up,one day down,” he said.“Some days dark,some light.But what happens is that when the sun is out,you really feel it.Every breath is sweet.You see the trees and people.You hear your daughters laugh,and it’s like birds singing.You tell yourself,‘There is no time in life for anything but love.’”
Liz Laguaite,a hospital music therapist,told Arreola and his family,“Why don’t you try to write a song together about what you’ve been through and what you’ve learned?” They decided to try.Lucio Arreola worried that illness might make his daughters see him as a delicate man.But instead of frailty,they mostly saw his courage to go on.And he said their love was like his own powerful heart muscle that gave him faith,hope and courage.
“My weak heart,” he said,“helped make them strong.”
Lucio Arreola said he had learned that human hearts were delicate.But a family’s love was enduring.The Arreolas recorded the song they created while Lucio recovered.The song begins with the strong beat of a father’s loving heart.

Years ago,I could not stick to exercising until I bought a CD called I Enjoy Exercise.I listened to it every day.I bought the CD because I wanted to run in a race and hopefully win!
I had promised my 10-year-old son Todd that I would run in a race with him.Unfortunately,however,when that race came about,his left leg was hurt in a car accident.Without him running with me,although I took part in that race,I didn’t do quite well in it.
While Todd couldn’t run together with me because of his injury,he never forgot the promise I made to him.He was always asking me whether I would keep my promise when he recovered in the future.So I decided I was going to train and go all out to win the next race.What I needed was motivation(动力).It happened that one of my friends mentioned the CD which he liked very much,saying that he got a lot from the music in it when feeling down.So I bought it and listened to it while exercising every day.
It was amazing what happened to my thinking as I listened to it daily.I started to think about the repeated words on the CD—“I enjoy exercise”.Instead of dreading exercise,I was thinking,“I enjoy exercise.”
I found out how important words are that we play in our minds every day.I went from a person who seldom exercised to someone who started to exercise daily.Just think how our lives will improve if we reflect on the uplifting and motivating words of the famous works.I have found the positive messages have greatly improved my thinking and then changed my life.
You might be thinking,how did I do in that race I actually won the gold medal in my age group.

Ⅱ.七选五
When I was young,my friends and I often played baseball in an alley(小巷) behind our home.A woman named Mrs Shinas owned a tiny house nearby,and she used to watch us play from her window. 1 We all thought that she was mean.
She had a big trained dog and whenever one of our baseballs rolled in its direction,Mrs Shinas would send the dog to catch it. 2 Soon we ran out of balls.
In those days,I used to water our lawn each day.One day as I stood watering our small lawn,I noticed that Mrs Shinas’ lawn looked a little dry.It took only a few more minutes to water it,so I did it. 3
When autumn came that year,I also helped gather up the leaves on Mrs Shinas’ yard.As I was doing this one day,she invited me to sit in her living room.She gave me a cookie and a glass of milk.As I sat there eating the cookie,she showed me her collection of paintings. 4 That surprised me a lot.It was the first conversation I had ever had with her.
5 She went into her kitchen and returned with a box.In it were all the balls that her dog had taken.She handed me the box,said “thank you” and smiled.I realized she had a kind heart.I also learned that when we serve others,we are showing them that we love them.
A.We wanted to buy a new ball.
B.But the dog wouldn’t return the ball to us.
C.Her next action even changed my opinion of her.
D.Then she thanked me for taking care of her lawn.
E.Soon I found myself watering her lawn each day.
F.She rarely came out of her house and never smiled.
G.What delighted me most was that she was a great painter.

1.答案 F
解析 根据上文的“...she used to watch us play from her window.”和空后“We all thought that she was mean.”可知,空格处应该是对这个女士的描述,说明大家认为她很刻薄的原因。故F项符合语境。

4.答案 D
解析 根据下文的“That surprised me a lot.”可知,前文已经提到过作者认为她很刻薄。那么空格处应该说的是让作者吃惊的原因,故D项符合语境。
5.答案 C
解析 根据下文的“She handed me the box,said ‘thank you’ and smiled.I realized she had a kind heart.”可知,这些都是在说作者对那位女士看法的改变。故C项符合语境。单元检测卷(二)

1.On the other hand, when you are struggling to control your feelings, you wish they could be more caring and patient—sometimes they forget that growing up is a rough ride.
[句式分析] 此句是复合句。when引导时间状语从句,they could be more caring and patient是省略了that的宾语从句,that 引导宾语从句,growing up是动名词短语作主语。
[自主翻译] 另一方面,当你努力控制自己的情绪时,你又希望父母能更加体贴、更有耐心——有时候,他们会忘记成长是一个艰难的过程。
2.Through this kind of healthy discussion,you will learn when to back down and when to ask your parents to relax their control.
[句式分析] 此句是简单句。句中when to back和when to ask为“疑问词+不定式”结构,作learn的宾语;to relax their control为不定式短语作宾语补足语。
[自主翻译] 通过这种良性讨论,你会学会何时应该做出让步,何时可以要求父母放松对你的掌控。
3.Just remember that it is completely normal to struggle with the stress that parent-child tensions create, and that you and your parents can work together to improve your relationship.
[句式分析] 此句是复合句。that...and that...是两个并列的宾语从句;that parent-child tensions create是定语从句,修饰the stress;to improve your relationship是动词不定式作目的状语。
[自主翻译] 你只要记住,亲子关系紧张会产生压力,由此带来的困扰再正常不过,而你和父母可以齐心协力,改善你们的关系。
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
As you grow rapidly through your teenage years,you will experience a lot of changes.The changes may seem difficult and they may seem to happen quickly.Don’t panic! You will deal successfully with them! You are a young adult now!
With more responsibility,you will find more freedom to make your own choices.This is a time to be well informed about your choices so that you can make healthy balanced decisions that will help shape your future.You may already know your career path or you may have no idea at all what you want to do.Both situations are fine! Work hard and the right opportunity will present itself to you.
Young adulthood means greater freedom and more choices.You will probably want to be independent.But try not to shut your family out of your life.You should learn to think of others even though you are old enough to look after yourself.Your family have been with you since you came into this world.
It is also perfectly natural in this time for you to spend more time with your friends than your family.Choose your friends wisely.A true friend will stand by you no matter what happens.This period is part of the life cycle.There are some people who will be with you throughout life’s journey and there will be some people with whom you part and go separate ways.Leaving school can be hard.The reality is that you may not ever see all of your classmates again.
You are a young adult.It is your life.No one can live it for you.The choices that you make from now on will be your choices.So making the right choices will be important to you.Life is for living.Enjoy your life wisely!
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲孩子在成长的过程中都需要经历的过程:要学会承担责任,要学会独立,要学会自己做出正确的选择。
1.As far as the author is concerned,teenage years are .
A.a period of complete freedom
B.too hard for young people to get through
C.an important time for the young to make the right choices
D.a very important period for young students to leave their parents
答案 C
解析 细节理解题。根据第二段第二句可知,对于青少年来说,在此时期做出正确的选择是至关重要的。
2.Who is the passage mainly intended for
A.Teenagers. B.Teachers.
C.Young parents. D.Adults.
答案 A
解析 推理判断题。根据本文关键词teenage years可知,作者写这篇文章就是解决青少年时期如何做才正确的问题,所以本文主要是写给青少年看的。
3.What is the best title for this passage
A.The Choices in Life
B.The Key to Success
C.Say Goodbye to the Past
D.Becoming a Young Adult
答案 D
解析 标题归纳题。根据本文内容,尤其是第一段最后两句可知,本文主要建议年轻人要成长起来,独立解决问题,努力成为一名年轻的成年人,承担起成年人的责任。故选D。
B
The clothes you wear.The food you eat.The color of your bedroom walls.Where you go and how you get there.The people you hang around with.What time you go to bed.What do these things have in common?You’re asking.They’re just a few examples of many hundreds of things that your parents controlled for you when you were a child.
As a kid,you didn’t have a say in everything;your parents made decisions about everything from the cereal(麦片) you ate in the morning to the pajamas(睡衣) you wore at night.And it’s a good thing,too—kids need this kind of protection on their own.
But finally,kids grow up and become teens.And part of being a teen is developing your own identity—that is to separate from your parents’ control.But as you change and grow into this new person who makes your own decisions,your parents have a difficult time adjusting(调整).
In many families,it is this adjustment that can cause a lot of fighting between teens and parents.And issues like the type of friends you have or your attitudes to partying can cause bigger arguments,because your parents still always want to protect you and keep you safe,no matter how old you are.
The good news about fighting with your parents is that in many families the arguing will lessen as parents get more comfortable with the idea that their teens have a right to certain opinions.It can take several years for parents and teens to adjust to their new roles,though.
In the meantime,focus on communicating with your parents.Sometimes this can feel impossible—like they just don’t see your point of view and never will.But talking and expressing your opinions can help you gain more respect from your parents.
Keep in mind,too,that your parents were teens once and that in most cases,they can relate to what you’re going through.
语篇解读 本文是一篇议论文。文章分析了父母与孩子之间发生冲突的原因并表达了自己的看法。
4.In the first two paragraphs,the writer .
A.complains that parents control kids too much
B.proves that kids have no right to give their opinions
C.describes how carefully parents look after kids
D.explains that it is necessary for parents to control kids
答案 D
解析 推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句和第二段最后一句“And it’s a good thing,too—kids need this kind of protection on their own.”可知,前两段主要列举了父母控制孩子日常生活的几个例子,作者认为这是好事,孩子本身就需要这份关爱。故选D项。
5.Why does a lot of fighting break out between teens and parents
A.Parents aren’t used to losing control of teens.
B.Teens like to have everything decided.
C.Parents blame teens for not respecting them.
D.Teens are eager to develop their own identity.
答案 A
解析 推理判断题。根据第三段末句及第四段首句可知,当孩子逐渐长大,可以自己决定的时候,父母很难适应这种变化。由此推知,青少年和父母之间经常发生争吵是因为父母不习惯失去对孩子的控制。故选A项。
6.Why do parents control teens in the writer’s opinion
A.To prevent them from having their own ideas.
B.To protect them from being hurt.
C.To make them respect parents in the family.
D.To make sure that children have a good future.
答案 B

A.What Do Parents Control Their Children for
B.How Do Parents Take Care of Children
C.How to Get Rid of Your Parents’ Control
D.Why Do I Fight with Parents So Much
答案 D
解析 标题归纳题。作者写本文的目的是帮助解决青少年在成长过程中与父母发生冲突的烦恼,针对为什么会发生如此多的冲突进行了分析,并且表达了自己的看法。由此可知,D项“Why Do I Fight with Parents So Much?”最适合作本文标题。故选D项。
Ⅱ.七选五
You’ve decided your child is spoiled,and you want to do something about it.Is it too late?Not necessarily.Here are four tips from an expert for getting your child to behave well.
1 You’ve spoiled your child by giving him or her too much or too little.You can correct this by helping your child to learn to work harder for rewards and to understand that not all good behavior is rewarded. 2 For example,at first,insist that your daughter put a few toys away before she gets a snack,and gradually increase the amount of work required for each reward.
Don’t overreact(反应过度) to crying.When children don’t get what they want,their natural behavior is to cry.If you react every time your child cries,you may be denying(拒绝给予) him or her an important chance to learn something. 3
Prepare for a fight.At the beginning,children’s demands will increase when they find out parents are not going to give them the new toys they want.When it happens,be careful not to give in just because the child shouts. 4
Stick with the program.Your child will probably be upset when you begin making changes. 5 It means the requirements are getting stricter and that your child is adjusting(适应).Remember:give it time,and don’t give up.
A.Cut down on rewards.
B.That’s not necessarily a bad thing.
C.Start out making changes slowly.
D.Rather,wait until the child calms down.
E.Don’t try to reason with him or her about the situation.
F.There is little doubt that things will get worse before they get better.
G.As a parent,you need to know when to comfort a child and when to simply walk away.
1.答案 A
解析 根据下文中的“helping your child to learn to work harder for rewards and to understand that not all good behavior is rewarded”可知,本段内容和削减奖励有关。 故选A项。
2.答案 C
解析 下文中的“gradually increase”呼应C项中的“making changes slowly”。故选C项。
3.答案 G
解析 此处是对上文不过度回应孩子哭闹的正确做法的阐述,G项承接上文,符合语境。
4.答案 D
解析 由本段首句“Prepare for a fight.”和空前的“...not to give in just because the child shouts”可知,此处应介绍正确做法,D项“等待孩子平静下来”符合语境。
5.答案 B
解析 上文中提到的“Your child will probably be upset”的状况也未必就是坏事,因为“It means...your child is adjusting(适应).”,B项符合语境。Period 2 Welcome to the unit & Reading [语言运用]

Ⅰ.阅读理解
Do you know that the average child has heard the word “no” over 20,000 times before they turn the age of three?Ironically,it is also around this time that children begin to develop enough personal character to refuse to obey.The “terrible twos” are categorized by a lack of understanding.Somewhere between three and four,children begin to acquire the skills to reason.It is during this time that they watch how other children and adults reason.If we’re not careful,the children will watch us model a world of “NOs”.
By the time a person turns eighteen,how many times have they been told no?I haven’t found any studies that even attempted to track this statistic,but I’m sure if the number is 20,000 by three,then at eighteen that number has multiplied.You can do the math.
Anyway,I think I know why we say no.We say no to protect.We say no to direct.We say no to stop potential confusion.However,do we sometimes say no just for the sake of saying no?Do we say no because we have internalized(内在化) all of the “NOs” we’ve heard over the years and we feel it is finally our time to say no to someone else
The internalized no can damage the growth process of dreams in infancy as quickly as it can weaken a three-year-old.And we wonder why we run into people with big,unaccomplished dreams who have a bit of a chip on their shoulder.They have to take on the 20,000 NOs.However,the thing that keeps them going is the possibility of the power of ONE YES!Just as it only takes one book to make a writer a Pulitzer Prize Winner,it only takes one word to change the course of your day.That word is YES!
语篇解读 这是一篇议论文。文章表达了作者对说“不”的看法。作者认为虽然有时说“不”是出于保护自己,但常常对孩子说“不”会对他们产生消极的影响。为了让孩子有改观,作者建议家长对他们说一句“是”。
1.What do we know about two-year-olds
A.They understand well.
B.They often say no to others.
C.They think logically.
D.They don’t do all they’re told.
答案 D
解析 细节理解题。根据第一段的“it is also around this time that children begin to develop enough personal character to refuse to obey”可知,孩子们在三岁前就开始形成完整的拒绝顺从的个性。故选D项。
2.What effect does saying no have on children
A.They lose all their dreams.
B.They aren’t easy to succeed.
C.They don’t make mistakes.
D.They never say yes to others.
答案 B

Ⅰ.阅读理解
As the oldest of three children,I never had any hand-me-downs to wear like other poor kids.Instead,Mom got my wardrobe(行头) from neighborhood mothers.Imagine the fun other kids had when they saw me wearing their used clothing.
Perhaps my biggest challenge came from Charlie.As far as I was concerned,Charlie’s main fun was to make fun of me.During those years,I slowly learned to hate.I hated Charlie,but I also hated myself for not being able to change my situation.
But situations do change.That opportunity came after high school when I joined the Navy.The Navy made me a social equal for the first time in my life,and the GI Bill gave me a college education.Hard work and a few lucky career(职业) choices finally lifted me into the middle class.I found myself living the American Dream.
One beautiful summer afternoon,my friend and I celebrated Friday in Jackson’s Steak House.For the first time in almost twenty years,I saw Charlie.Not only did I see him,but he spoke to me.I could tell he didn’t recognize me,but I surely recognized my childhood tormentor(折磨者).His words were short,but I’ll never forget them.He said,“Sir,what kind of dressing would you like with your salad?”
The tables had turned.Charlie was calling me “Sir”. While hundreds of improper ideas raced through my mind,I could only give a two-word reply,“Blue cheese.” As much as I wanted to taste the sweet taste of revenge(复仇),I refused to do it.I wouldn’t put another person through what I had gone through as a child.It was time to put childish things behind me and make use of the new opportunity that life had given me.I left him a good tip and I didn’t say one word about recognizing him.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A survey said the average Asian dad spent one minute a day with his children.I was shocked.I mean,a whole minute Every day Get real.Once a week maybe.The fact is,many Asian males are terrible at kid-related things.In fact,I am one of them.
Child-rearing(养育孩子) doesn’t come naturally to guys.My mother knew the names of our teachers,best friends and crushes.My dad was only vaguely aware there were short people sharing the apartment.My mother bought healthy fresh food at the market every day.My dad would only go shopping when there was nothing in the fridge except a jar of capers and a bay leaf.Then he’d buy beer.My mother always knew the right questions to ask our teachers.My dad would ask my English teacher if she could get us a discount on school fees.My mother served kid food to kids.My dad added chili sauce to everything,including our baby food.
The truth is,mothers have superpowers.My son fell off a wall once and hurt himself all over.I demanded someone bring me a computer so I could google what to do.My wife ignored me and did some sort of chanting phrase such as “Mummy kiss it better,” and cured 17 separate injuries in less than 15 seconds.
Yes,mothers are incredible people,but they are not always right.Yet honesty forces me to record the fact that mothers only know best 99.99 percent of the time.Here are some famous slip-ups.
The mother of Bill Gates: “If you’re going to drop out of college and hang out with your nerdy friends,don’t come running to me when you find yourself penniless.” The mother of Albert Einstein: “When you grow up,you’ll find that sitting around thinking about the nature of time and space won’t pay the grocery bills.” The mother of George W.Bush: “You’ll never be like your dad,who became President of the United States and started his own war.”
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章用幽默的语气以对比的形式描写了父亲和母亲在养育孩子上的差异,说明了男性不擅长抚养孩子,但母亲也并不是完全正确的,作者对此也用例子进行了说明。
1.The tone for the writer to write the passage is .

答案 D
解析 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“I was shocked.I mean,a whole minute Every day Get real.Once a week maybe.”可知,作者写这篇文章的语气是幽默的。故选D。

3.What does the underlined word “slip-ups” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A.Stories. B.Shortcomings.
C.Mistakes. D.Advantages.
答案 C
解析 词义猜测题。第五段列举的三个名人(Bill Gates,Albert Einstein,George W.Bush)的例子证明母亲的教育不一定总是对的。由此可知,画线词所在句意为“以下是一些著名的失误”。故选C。
4.The last paragraph is mainly developed by .
A.providing different examples
B.following the order of space
C.making comparisons
D.analyzing causes
答案 A
解析 推理判断题。在第五段中,作者列举了三个名人的例子,使用的是举例子的方法。故选A。
