Confidence is very i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )mportant in daily life. It can help you to develop a healthy attitude （态度）.A study shows that the people who are more confident are much happier. They can have more chance to make themselves successful. But how to be more confident Here are some suggestions:
·Speak loud When you are not confident, you can't do well what you want to do. You speak in a voice so low that other people can hardly hear you. Try to speak loud enough so that people can hear you clearly. The high voice can help you become more confident.
·Play sports Physical exercise makes you tired but completely relaxed. A strong body helps you be full of confidence.
·Encourage yourself Write down a list of things you did during the day to see how many things you have done well. Did you finish your homework Did you tell a joke that made everybody laugh Give yourself praise for the good things you've done.
· Get rid of （消除） fear Fear comes along with failure （失败）. But it's easy to overcome （克服） if you know that failure is part of your life. Don't hide your head just because you said something stupid last time. Try to start again and believe you can do better.

4、阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A
As a child, I was really afraid of the dark and of getting lost．These fears were very real and caused me some uncomfortable moments.
Maybe it was the strange way things looked and sounded in my own room at night that scared (使惊恐) me so much．There was never complete darkness, but always a streetlight or passing car lights, which made clothes on the back of a chair take on the shape of a wild animal．Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the curtains (窗帘) seem to move when there was no wind．A very low sound in the floor would seem a hundred times louder than in the day．My imagination would run wild, and my heart would beat fast．I would lie very still so that the “enemy” would not discover me.
Another of my childhood fears was that I would get lost, especially on the way home from school．Every morning I got on the school bus right near my home．That was no problem．After school, though, when all the buses were lined up along the street, I was afraid that I would get in the wrong one and be taken to some other strange places．On school or family trips to a park or a museum, I wouldn’t let the leaders out of my sight.
Perhaps one of the worst fears of all I had as a child was that of not being liked or accepted by others．Being popular was so important t o me then, and the fear of not being liked was a serious one.
One of the processes (过程) about growing up is being able to realize and overcome (克服) our fears．Understanding the things that scared us as children helps us achieve greater success later in life.

A．Streetlight and car lights

C．She always got poor grades.

Language do not just have different sounds, they are different in many ways．It’s important to master(掌握) the rules(规则) for word order in the study of English, too．If the sentences put words in a wrong order, the listene rs can’t understand the speakers’ sentences easily．Sometimes when the order is changed, the meaning of the sentence doesn’t change．Let’s se e the difference between the two pairs of sentences．

7、You may know the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )English letters A, B and C. But do you know there are people called ABCs Do you know there is such a thing as “a banana person” How strange! ABC means American-born Chinese. An ABC is a Chinese, but was born in the United States. Sometimes, people call an ABC a “banana person”. A banana is yellow outside. So, when a person is a “banana”, he or she is white inside—thinking like a Westerner and yellow outside—looking like a Chinese.
Usually, ABCs know little about China or the Chinese language. Some of them don’t speak Chinese. But if ABCs cannot speak Chinese, can we still call them Chinese people Yes, of course. They are overseas（海外的）Chinese. These people may be citizens（公民）of another country like the US, Canada or Singapore. But they have Chinese blood. Their parents, grandparents or even great-grandparents were from China. They all have black eyes and black hair.
But they are not Chinese citizens. They are people of the People’s Republic of China. For example, we all know the famous scientist C. N. Yang（杨振宁）. He got the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1957. Chinese people love him. But he is an American citizen.

9、American people like ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) to say “Thank you” whenever others help them. People of many other countries do so, too. It is a very good habit.
You should say “Thank you” when someone passes you the salt on the table. When someone walking ahead of you keeps the door open for you, when someone says you have done your work well, or you have bought a nice thing, or your city is very beautiful. “Thank you” is used not only between friends, but also between parents and children, brothers and sisters, husbands and wives.
“Excuse me” is another short sentence they use. When you hear someone say “Excuse me” behind you, you know that somebody wants to walk past you without touching you. It’s not polite to interrupt（打断） others while they are talking. If you want to speak to one of them, say “Excuse me” first, and then begin talking. You should also do so when you want to cough or make any unpleasant noise before others.

11、Long, long ago ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) there was a very foolish(傻的) thief. Do you know what he did one day When he wanted to steal(偷) the bell on his neighbor’s door, he walked up to the door, took hold of(抓住) the bell and pulled hard（用力）. The bell made a very loud noise. The thief was afraid and went home.
Then he sat down to think, “I must do something about the noise,” he said. He thought and thought. At last he had an idea. “Ah, I’ll put some cotton in my ears. Then I won’t be able to hear the noise.” The next day he went to the door of his neighbor, and took hold of the bell. This time he pulled even harder. The bell rang loudly, but the thief did not hear anything. With another hard pull he got the bell out. Just then the neighbor came running out. “Steal my bell I’ll teach you a lesson(教训),”the angry man shouted. And he hit the thief on the nose.

12、任务型阅读
For hundreds o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )f years, scientists have been trying to answer what things have an effect on people’s emotions (情感). How you feel is controlled by many things. Your emotions can be affected by your personality, the actions of others and the events around you. Perhaps you don’t know your emotions can be influenced by the weather as well.
People often say they feel good when the sun is shining and sad when it is cloudy. In fact, sunlight makes us feel good. When sunlight hits our skins, our bodies produce a vitamin. Vitamins are chemical substances (化学物质) which we all need to stay healthy. Sunlight helps our bodies produce vitamin D. Vitamin D helps our bodies make a special chemical substance. This special chemical substance affects our brains(大脑) and makes us feel happy. For example, there are long, dark winters of little sunlight in Sweden and Norway, so many people in these countries often feel sad. Without much sunlight, their bodies produce less vitamin D. Without enough vitamin D, their bodies make less of this special chemical substance which makes them feel good. To help the people in these countries feel better, special “ sunrooms” with artificial(人造的) lights have been built. People can go there and get “sunlight” for an hour or two!
The weather can also affect people’s emotions in other ways. Hot weather can make people angry because people feel uncomfortable when it is hot. In the same way, rain can make people angry because being wet can be unpleasant. As you can see, the weather can have an effect on the chemical substances which control our brains. Through these ways, the weather can influence our emotions. Sadly , while the weather can change us, we can hardly change the weather.
The【小题1】influences people’s emotions
What influen ces people’s emotions Your【小题2】 the actions of others, the events 【小题3】you and the weather 【小题4】 are our emotions influenced by the weather 【小题5】

Being wet can be so unpleasant that we feel angry.
【小题8】 The weather can influence our emotions【小题9】it influences the chemical substances that control our brains.
The weather can change us, but we can do【小题10】to change the weather.
13、阅读理解
We all have o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ur own ways of sharing our life experiences with others. Photographers use cameras, artists use brushes, musicians use songs and writers use stories.
Spencer Johnson’s story Who moved My cheese shows changes exist （存在于）in our life.
Life changes and so do we. We must change ourselves to face the changing environment, or we will fail. Just look at the cycle（循环） of the seasons. Trees bud（发芽）in spring and in summer their leaves turn green. In autumn their leaves start to fall onto the ground. When winter arrives, there are no leaves on trees. Next spring the cycle begins again. We know it is colder in winter and hotter in summer, so we can dress properly.
Since we accept the cycle of nature, we should also accept the changes in our life.
We can prepare ourselves for changes by becoming more flexible（灵活的）. We can regard the changes in our life as chances. As long as we keep changing ourselves, we can keep up with the changes in our life.
【小题1】What’ the main idea of this passage
【小题2】 How do writers share their life experiences
【小题3】What does Who moved My cheese tell us
【小题4】 Any change in our life could mean a for us.
【小题5】 What’s the Chinese meaning of the underlined sentence in the last paragraph
14、Children have thei ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r own rules in playing games. They seldom need a referee (裁判) and rarely trouble to keep scores. They don’t care much about who wins or loses, and it doesn’t seem to worry them if the game is not finished. Yet, they like games that depend a lot on luck, so that their personal abilities cannot be directly compared. They also enjoy games that move in stages, in which each stage, the choosing of leaders, the picking-up of sides, or the determining of which side shall start, is almost a game in itself.
Grown-ups can hardly find children’s games exciting, and they often feel puzzled at why their kids play such simple games again and again. However, it is found that a child plays games for very important reasons. He can be a good player without having to think whether he is a popular person, and he can find himself being a useful partner to someone of whom he is usually afraid. He becomes a leader when it comes to his turn. He can be confident, too, in particular games, that it is his place to give orders, to pretend to be dead, to throw a ball actually at someone, or to kiss someone he has caught.
It appears to us that when children play a game they imagine a situation under their control. Everyone knows the rules, and more importantly, everyone plays according to the rules. Those rules may be childish, but they make sure that every child has a chance to win.
【小题1】To become a leader in a game the child has to __________.
A．be popular among his playmates B．wait for his turn
C．be confident in himself D．play well
【小题2】What is true about children when they play games
A．They can stop playing any time they like.
B．They can test their personal abilities.
C．They want to pick a better team
D．They don’t need rules.
【小题3】Why does a child like playing games
A．Because he likes the place where he plays a game.
B．Because he can become popular among friends.
C．Because he finds he is always lucky in games.
D．Because he can be someone other than himself.
【小题4】What do we know about grown-ups
A．They are not interested in games.
B．They find children’s games too easy.
C．They don’t understand children’s games.
D．They don’t need a reason to play games.
【小题5】The writer believes that __________.
A．children should make better rules for their games
B．children should invite grown-ups to play with them
C．children’s games can do them a lot of good
D．children play games without reasons
15、Happiness is for ev ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eryone. You don’t need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why Because those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads in their free time.
In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health; when you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong , people around you will help you to correct it. And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice a bit of them, you can see that happiness is always around you.
Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something else that can’t be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge yourself. So you cannot always say you are poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving (旋转的) door. When it closes, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.
【小题1】Those who have big houses may often feel _____.
A．lonely B．happy C．excited D．free

【小题3】What will your friends say to you when you make great progress
A．Good luck B．Oh, so do I

【小题4】Which idea is not right according to the passage
A．People who have cars would never like to walk in the open air.
B．Happiness is ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) always around you though difficulties come towards you.
C．You can get help from others when you make mistakes.
D．You can still be a happy person even if you have little money.
【小题5】Which of the following is this passage about

16、Years ago, I ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lived in a building in a large city. The building next door was only a few feet away from mine. There was a woman who lived there, whom I had never met, yet I could see her seated by her window each afternoon, sewing or reading.
After several months went by, I began to notice that her window was dirty. Everything was unclear through the dirty window. I often said to myself, "I wonder why that woman doesn't wash her window. It really looks terrible."
One bright morning I decided to clean my flat, including washing the window on the inside.
Late in the afternoon when I finished the cleaning, I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a rest. What a surprise! Across the way, the woman sitting by her window was clearly seen. Her window was clean!
Then it dawned on me. I was always criticizing(批评) her dirty window, but all the time I was watching hers through my own dirty window.
That was quite an important lesson for me. How often had I looked at and criticized others through the dirty window of my heart, through my own mistake
Since then, whenever I wanted to judge(评判) someone, I asked myself first, "Am I looking at him through my own dirty window "
Then I try to clean the window of my own world so that I may see the world around me more clearly and correctly.
