As a student, I was most afraid to answer questions in class and I found that the students around were just like me. At the beginning of each class, when the teacher asked a question, I always lowered my head because I was afraid that the teacher saw me.
One day, in a foreign language class, Mr. Black gave us a lesson. He wanted us to be active in class, so he asked us some questions, but no one answered. “Let me tell you a story first, ” he said.
“When I came to the United States to study, the university often invited famous people to make speeches. Before the beginning of every speech, I found an interesting thing. The students around me always took a cardboard folded (折叠的) in half, wrote their names in bold with the most eye-catching color, and then placed the cardboard on the seat. So when the speaker needed the answers from the students, he could see and call a listener’s name directly.”
“I couldn’t understand that. My classmates told me the speakers were all top people, who meant chances. When your answer was to his surprise, it meant he might give you more chances. In fact, I really saw a few students get great chances because of that.”
After listening to the story, I understood that the chance will not find you itself. You must show yourself all the time so that you can find a chance on the card.
11．What did Mr. Black want the students to do in his class
A．Read loudly. B．Take notes carefully. C．Be active. D．Listen to him quietly.
12．How did the writer’s classmates behave when they were asked questions
A.They raised their hands. B.They shook their heads. C. They closed their eyes. D. They lowered their heads.
13．How did the speaker get to know the students’ names
A．He got them from the computer. B．He saw the cardboards on the seats.
C．He asked the students for their names. D．He got them from the name list on the teacher’s desk.
14．What does the underlined word “eye catching” in Paragraph 3 mean
A．引人注目的 B．眼睛疼痛的 C．目光呆滞的 D．泪眼朦胧的
15．What does the writer mainly tell us
A．Doing as others do is necessary. B．Answering questions bravely is easy.
C．Attracting others’ attention is interesting. D．Showing yourself bravely can win chances

My daughter, Cindy, used to be shy but now she's kind of active and outgoing.
I still remember one thing. One day last month, Cindy got an upset stomach, so I took her to see a doctor. When we waited in line outside the waiting room, we saw a lady beside us. She looked very upset. Then Cindy gave a smile card to the lady, saying, “I hope everything goes well.” The lady hugged(拥抱) Cindy and said nothing. Later, Cindy gave out five more smile cards that day.
Last Monday, I went shopping with Cindy in a supermarket. After shopping, we went to the cash desk(收银台). Terribly, I couldn't find my wallet and I didn't know what to do. At that time, a lady came to us and paid the bill for us. She was just the lady who was at the doctor's that day. I said “thank you” to her. She said, “I was moved by your daughter's kindness.” Then I returned the money to her the next day.

六、语篇翻译。
Shyness is a kind of fear. People who are shy always worry too much about what people think of them or embarrassing themselves in some way in front of others. 46.我们能怎样克服害羞？
Have a good posture(姿势）
The way a person holds himself says a lot about that person. People with sloped (倾斜的） shoulders don't think they are important. So stand up straight, shoulders back, keep your head up, and always make eyes contact（接触）。47. By practicing a good posture, you will feel you have the ability to do things well.
Increase your walking speed
You can tell if a person is confident by the way he walks. People who walk in a slow way, and look at the ground while walking usually have no confidence in themselves. While people who have confidence in themselves walk faster. That is because they have important things to do, friends to meet, places to go, etc. 48.So walk a little faster, head held up, and look straight ahead.
Do some exercise
49. 锻炼增加你体内的能量。That will put you in a more positive(积极的）state of mind. By having exercise, you will feel sure of yourself. Think about it; it is better to do some exercise than just to watch TV all day.
50. Do things that make you feel good about yourself
This can be anything that you really like doing, like going to the theater, listening to music, traveling, helping someone out with a problem, etc.
