Tuesday, 1st September
I had mixed feelings today, nervous, worried, happy, excited… My heart went down when Miss Chan, our head teacher, said that Matthew and Beth, two students from England, would spend three months with us! I was worried that I had to speak English so much! But at the end of the school day, I was happier than I thought: the morning with them today was more enjoyable than I expected.
Today is the most unforgettable first day I have had! Matthew is fantastic! His English is clearer and easier to listen to than I thought. The other English student, Beth, is the most helpful girl I've ever met. There were lots of things to do on the first day. Beth offered to help Miss Chan put up all the notices. Of course, some of the credit (功劳) should also go to ME because I translated some of the notices for her. Miss Chan praised us!
We finished all the preparations 10 minutes earlier than expected. Then Beth and I talked for a while. Matthew sang several English songs and did some stand up comedy (单人喜剧表演) at the party. We all praised him. When the bell rang to end the first school day, none of us wanted to leave.
When I went back home, I had a little headache. I have probably spoken more English today than the whole of last year.
It was really a happy day! I hope our friendship can continue, even after they go back to England!

　　A. excited 　B. angry C. fantastic D. worried
２.Beth helped Miss Chan with the
　　A. comedy　　　　　　B.　speeches　　　　C.　notices　　　　　　D.　translation

Shyness can be an unhappy feeling. But the good news is, you're not alone. Scientists say that more than 40 percent of teenagers and adults consider themselves shy. Shyness is feeling a little nervous or as if you want to hide when you're around other people or in a new situation.
▲ Scientists say such things as genetics(遗传基因), life experiences, and environment can influence whether a person is shy. For example, in some families, everybody seems to be shy.
What happens if you are shy Well, being shy may cause you to avoid or miss opportunities you would enjoy.
How do people overcome(克服) shyness This is what Gilbert tells us. “When I started off trying to get over being shy, I decided to do little steps at a time, including practicing smiling and saying hi to people. And it works for me.”
But shyness is not the kind of thing that most people can get over overnight. Overcoming shyness takes time and needs practice.
Here are some tips given by scientists.
Think of what to talk before you leave home. Prepare things to talk about before you're in a social situation. For example, if you know your classmates are interested in an upcoming(即将来的) event, learn about it so you can join in the conversations.
Let people know you're shy. If you're shy, just show it. Instead of letting people guess, tell them the truth. Explain that you are shy and feel nervous but enjoy talking to people.
Make things easy for the other person. Remember, you're not the only shy person around. Do what you think might help others feel good, for example, say hello or smile.
Pick one social skill to practice at a time. Start simply. For example, smile or be the first person to say hi. Choose skills you feel comfortable enough with to practice for a day, a week, a month, or even a year.
34. Which of the following can be put in the blank in Paragraph 2
A. What is shyness
B. What makes people shy
C. Can shyness be good for us
D. Can we overcome shyness
24. The example of Gilbert in Paragraph 4 is given to _____.
　　A. show how people overcome shyness
　　B. introduce a shy girl called Gilbert
　　C. tell the right time to practice smiling
　　D. explain the steps of overcoming shyness
35. What does the underlined word “overnight” in Paragraph 5 most probably mean
A. Correctly. B. Suddenly.
C. Slowly. D. Finally.
36. Which of the following is the right way to overcome shyness
A. Don't let others know that you are shy.
B. Wait for others to say hello to you first.
C. Choose several skills to practice at a time.
D. Get ready before you join in a social situation.

十、阅读理解
Tuesday, 1st September
I had mixed feelings today, nervous, worried, happy, excited… My heart went down when Miss Chan, our head teacher, said that Matthew and Beth, two students from England, would spend three months with us! I was worried that I had to speak English so much! But at the end of the school day, I was happier than I thought: the morning with them today was more enjoyable than I expected.
Today is the most unforgettable first day I have had! Matthew is fantastic! His English is clearer and easier to listen to than I thought. The other English student, Beth, is the most helpful girl I've ever met. There were lots of things to do on the first day. Beth offered to help Miss Chan put up all the notices. Of course, some of the credit (功劳) should also go to ME because I translated some of the notices for her. Miss Chan praised us!
We finished all the preparations 10 minutes earlier than expected. Then Beth and I talked for a while. Matthew sang several English songs and did some stand up comedy (单人喜剧表演) at the party. We all praised him. When the bell rang to end the first school day, none of us wanted to leave.
When I went back home, I had a little headache. I have probably spoken more English today than the whole of last year.
It was really a happy day! I hope our friendship can continue, even after they go back to England!

Shyness can be an unhappy feeling. But the good news is, you're not alone. Scientists say that more than 40 percent of teenagers and adults consider themselves shy. Shyness is feeling a little nervous or as if you want to hide when you're around other people or in a new situation.
▲ Scientists say such things as genetics(遗传基因), life experiences, and environment can influence whether a person is shy. For example, in some families, everybody seems to be shy.
What happens if you are shy Well, being shy may cause you to avoid or miss opportunities you would enjoy.
How do people overcome(克服) shyness This is what Gilbert tells us. “When I started off trying to get over being shy, I decided to do little steps at a time, including practicing smiling and saying hi to people. And it works for me.”
But shyness is not the kind of thing that most people can get over overnight. Overcoming shyness takes time and needs practice.
Here are some tips given by scientists.
Think of what to talk before you leave home. Prepare things to talk about before you're in a social situation. For example, if you know your classmates are interested in an upcoming(即将来的) event, learn about it so you can join in the conversations.
Let people know you're shy. If you're shy, just show it. Instead of letting people guess, tell them the truth. Explain that you are shy and feel nervous but enjoy talking to people.
Make things easy for the other person. Remember, you're not the only shy person around. Do what you think might help others feel good, for example, say hello or smile.
Pick one social skill to practice at a time. Start simply. For example, smile or be the first person to say hi. Choose skills you feel comfortable enough with to practice for a day, a week, a month, or even a year.
34. Which of the following can be put in the blank in Paragraph 2
A. What is shyness
B. What makes people shy
C. Can shyness be good for us
D. Can we overcome shyness
24. The example of Gilbert in Paragraph 4 is given to _____.
　　A. show how people overcome shyness
　　B. introduce a shy girl called Gilbert
　　C. tell the right time to practice smiling
　　D. explain the steps of overcoming shyness
35. What does the underlined word “overnight” in Paragraph 5 most probably mean
A. Correctly. B. Suddenly.
C. Slowly. D. Finally.
36. Which of the following is the right way to overcome shyness
A. Don't let others know that you are shy.
B. Wait for others to say hello to you first.
C. Choose several skills to practice at a time.
D. Get ready before you join in a social situation.
　　
　
　　答案:23. B 24. A 25. B 26. D
　　解析:含羞会给人们带来不愉快的感受，科学家认为遗传基因、生活经历和环境等因素会影响一个人是否害羞。克服害羞需要一个漫长的过程，短文给出了一些克服害羞的方法与建议。
　　23. 细节理解题。根据第二段中的句子“Scientists say such things as genetics（遗传基因），life experiences，and environment can influence whether a person is shy.”科学家认为遗传基因、生活经历和环境等因素会影响一个人是否害羞。可以判断前面的句子应该是导致人害羞的一些因素，故答案选B. What makes people shy 什么使人害羞。
　　24. 细节理解题。根据短文第4段中的句子How do people overcome (克服)shyness This is what Gilbert tells us.”人们如何克服羞怯？这就是吉尔伯特告诉我们的。后面吉尔伯特所列举的例子就是告诉人们克服一些害羞的方法，故答案为A。
　　25. 词义猜测题。A. Correctly.正确地；B. Suddenly.突然地；C. Slowly.慢慢地；D. Finally.最后。根据后面的句子“Overcoming shyness take time and needs practice.”克服害羞需要时间，需要实践训练。可以得知害羞不是大多数人能在一夜之间就可以克服的，也就是克服害羞需要一个漫长的过程，故答案为B。
　　26. 细节判断题。根据“Prepare things to talk about before you're in a social situation. For example, if you know your classmates are interested in an upcoming event, learn about it so you can join in the conversations.” 在社交场合之前，准备一些要讨论的事情。例如，如果你知道你的同学对即将到来的事件感兴趣，就去了解它，这样你就可以加入对话了。可知，在参加社交活动之前要做好充分的准备，这样就可以有效的克服羞怯的心理。答案为D。
