（A）
From a wine pot amidst the flowers，
I drink alone without partners.
To invite the moon I raise my cup.
We're three，as my shadow shows up.
Alas，the moon doesn't drink.
My shadow follows but doesn't think.
Still for now I have these friends，
To cheer me up until the spring ends.
I sing；the moon wanders.
I dance；the shadow scatters.
Awake，together we have fun.
Drunk，separately we're gone.
Let's be boon companions forever，
Pledging，in heaven，we'll be together.

Have you ever put your old clothes into the donation box in your neighborhood If not, you can do it right now because the clothes donation is becoming a trend(趋势) in Urumqi.
“From time to time, my mother clears out the clothes which I no longer wear. You know, we
teenagers are growing fast. I think it’s a good way to help others.” Lin Tao, a junior student says.
“I often pick out some of my clothes which are out of style after going shopping. Then I’ll put them into the donation box.” Miss Li, a pretty young lady says.
“That seems like a good idea. Some clothes in the box are quite new. People can either wear them or use them to make things such as handbags and pencil cases.” Mrs. Wang, an old woman says, “Sometimes I also look through the box for some nice clothes.”
However, there are some problems along with the popularity of clothes donation. Recently, a UTV reporter from Focus On the City has made a survey. Here are the results:
◆ The box is full of clothes in a short time. There’s no more room to give away clothes.
◆ Some people sell the clothes in the donation box for making money.
◆ Some communities set the box in unsuitable places. So there are few clothes in it.
◆ Many clothes are too old and shabby(破烂的).
“What’s worse,”one of the staff in a community added,“We quite often see people throw rubbish into the box when they pass by. We’ve tried to stop them several times but failed. It has been the most serious problem since we set the box.”
In order to make the donation box work in an efficient(有效的) way, our government is taking action. Clothes donation will be better-organized and it’ll be more convenient for people in need to take the clothes away.
( )4. Miss Li gives away her clothes because________.
A. her clothes are out of style
B. her mother clears out her clothes
C. she is growing too fast
D. she wants to make something
( )5. All the problems about the donation box are included EXCEPT ________.
A. there's no more room for people to donate clothes
B. people choose unsuitable places to set the box
C. sometimes the box is broken by someone
D. the clothes in the box are too old and shabby
( )6. We can infer (推断) from the passage that the clothes donation ________.
A. will be better-organized to help donators and people in need
B. becomes less popular than before because of serious problems
C. can prevent some girls from wearing clothes that are out of style
D. gives the traders a good idea to sell old clothes for making money

Communication is the process by which we exchange information between people. To communicate well is to understand and to be munication can be successful only when both the sender and the receiver understand the same information.
Good communication skills are keys to success in life, work and relationships. Without effective(有效的) communication, a message can turn into error, misunderstanding, or even disaster.
In today's highly informational and technological environment, it has become more important to have good communication skills. Here are some important steps to communicate effectively.
Know what you want to say and why. Understand clearly the purpose of your message. Know to whom you are communicating and why.
How will you say it We all know that it's not always what you say, but how you say it , that matters. Begin by making eye contact. You show trust and confidence when you look at others in the eyes when you speak. Second, pay attention to your body language, since it can say so much more than your words. By standing with your arms easily at your side, you tell others that you are open to hearing what they have to say.
Communication is a two-way street. After you have said what you have to say, stop and listen. Practice your listening skills. Be considerate of others who are talking. Listen carefully and never cut them off.

【原文】 Different countries and people have different manners. Here are some examples. If you visit a Chinese family, you should knock at the door first. When the door opens, you should not move before the host says “Come in, please.” Before coming into a house in Japan, it is good manners to take off your shoes. In European countries, even if your shoes are very dirty, this is not done. In England, guests always finish the drink or the food to show that they enjoy it. This will make the host very pleased.
