【2016模拟题】第二节七选五
The Internet has opened up a whole new online world for us to meet, chat and go where we’ve never been before.
But just as in face to face communication, there are some rules of behavior that should be followed when on line. 36 Imagine how you’d feel if you were in the other person’s shoes.
For anything you’re about to send: ask yourself, “Would I say this to the person’s face ” If the answer is no, rewrite and reread. 37 .
If someone in the chat room is rude to you, your instinct (本能) is to fire back in the same manner. But try not to do so.38 If it was caused by a disagreement with another member, try to fix the situation by politely discussing it. Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room.
39 Offer advice when asked by newcomers, as they may not be sure what to do or how to communicate. When someone makes a mistake, whether it’s a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer, be kind about it. If it’s a small mistake, you may not need to say anything. Even if you feel strongly about it, think twice before saying anything. Having good manners yourself doesn’t give you license to correct everyone else. 40 At the same time, if you find you are wrong, be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those that you have offended.
It is not polite to ask others personal questions such as their age, sex and marital status. Unless you know the person very well, and you are both comfortable with sharing personal information, don’t ask such questions.
A. It’s natural that there some people who speak rudely or make mistakes online.
B. Repeat the process till you feel sure that you’d feel comfortable saying the words to the person’s face.
C. Everyone was new to the network once.
D. The basic rule is simple: treat others in the same way you would want to be treated.
E. When you send short messages to a person online, you must say something beautiful to hear.
F. You should either ignore the person, or use your chat software to block their messages.
G. If you do decide to tell someone about a mistake, point it out politely.

Stage Fright
Imagine that you are an actor performing in a play for the first time. You have learned all your lines and you know where to walk on stage. Waiting behind the closed curtain, you can hear the audience whispering and taking their seats.
Then your big moment arrives! The curtain goes up, and the crowd falls silent. All you can see is the spotlight shining down on you. 71 The inside of your mouth is dry, and your hands are wet.
If you have experienced a moment like this, you know all too well what it means to have stage fright. It is one of the most common types of fear and tends to strike people when they find themselves at the center of attention. 72 People experience this fear when playing sports, giving a presentation, or even speaking in class. A person who suffers from stage fright may get sweaty hands, a dry mouth, a tight throat, or shaky knees. Stage fright is actually a form of panic, and these feelings are very real.
73 The experience differs from person to person, but the same chemical process occurs in each of us. In reaction to anxiety, our bodies produce a chemical that prepares us to either fight or run away quickly. Scientists refer to this as our bodies' "fight or flight" reaction. As a result, we feel great energy that makes our hands sweat, our hearts race, and our knees shake.
74 Practicing your performance and following some simple tips can help calm nerves and manage the feelings caused by anxiety. First, dress comfortably and appropriately. Second, before the performance, take deep breaths and stretch to help relax your body. Third, stay away from drinks that contain caffeine. 75 Instead, try a banana! Some doctors believe that eating a banana can help calm your heart and the rest of your body. Finally, when you look into a crowd, try to focus on particular people instead of the whole group. These tips have helped many people learn to deal with their fears.
A. These might make your heart race even faster.
B. You don't have to be onstage to get stage fright.
C. Stage fright is part of the body's reaction to stress.
D. You try to speak your lines, but nothing seems to come out.
E. With practice, we can learn how to relax while playing sports.
F. The good news about stage fright is that here are ways to deal with it.
G. However, there is a time when stage fright prevents you from stepping onstage.

Humans and dogs have been working together for thousands of years, and some scientists even believe the two species have been living with one another for thousands of years. While having a dog will not improve your health if you never wanted a dog in the first place, dog lovers can benefit from living with them.
61.
Most of us know the benefits of exercise, but it can be a struggle to find the motivation to get up and get moving everyday. A dog provides strong motivations, and can make your daily walk or run less lonely and more fun.Moreover, you'll bum extra calories when helping your dog walk and doing brief training exercises with your dog. For some people, going for walks alone is scary, but a dog can make runs and walks feel more secure.l know that with Ranger.I have to walk him every day, and he's always ready each morning.Sometimes we even have an afternoon or early evening walk, which is better for my health.
62.
There's no doubt that dog ownership does come with some stresses, from making sure you've applied their weekly bath to worrying if your dog will get along with the other dogs at the dog park. But the benefits of pet ownership more than outweigh these small stresses. Research shows that a few minutes spent petting an animal. lowers blood levels of the stress hormone, which contributes to tiredness, weight gain and aging, and your pet can help kill its negative effects. A few minutes playing with your dog every day also releases powerful ¨feel-good" hormones that continue to function in the bloodstream.
63.
Many people living alone worry about thieves, and a dog can help give owners a sense of security. Thieves are less likely to break into a house with a barking dog, and your dog can help you feel less lonely whether you're just spending the night by yourself or living alone long-term.If your dog is older and struggles to move around, you can still rest easy knowing that your dog will get to a robber before you do.
64.
People who have regular positive interactions with others tend to live longer and be happier, and pets provide you with a valuable opportunity to meet and interact with other people. Even if you're shy, it's easy to strike up a conversation with another person if you're both talking about your animals. Visits to the dog park and meet--ups with other pet owners also provide pet owners with opportunities for interactions.If you're still anxious about meeting new people, consider joining a message board or online group for people with similar pets to yours. You'll quickly find yourself making new friends in addition to learning a lot about your best friend - your pet!
65.
In a fast-paced, high-stress world, depression and anxiety are at an all-time high. But pet owners have fewer mental illnesses, and animals are even used as treatment for people suffering from mental illness. If you struggle with depression, an animal can help you avoid such problems. The exercise and stress release you get from spending time with your pet may even reduce the effects of depression. Dog owners are also less stressed than people who don't own dogs, and reduced stress is strongly related with lower blood pressure, a longer life span, greater happiness and improved health.

Teen peer pressure
Teen peer pressure is the influence a teen's social group has on him or her. As adolescents enter the teen years, they usually begin to focus more on their peers or friends. 71 Peers influence most aspects of a teen's life, including how teens dress, what music they listen to, and what kind of activities they are involved in.
72 Good friends can encourage teens to do well in school, get involved in positive activities, volunteer, eat healthy foods, and avoid drugs, alcohol, and other risky activities. Friends also help teens learn good social skills and better ways to communicate and work out problems. 73
Negative peer pressure is when teens feel pressured to do something they know is wrong, such as smoking, drinking, stealing, or cutting class. 74 This is because they want to be liked or fit in, they are afraid of being made fun of, or they want to try something other teens are doing.
It is important for teens to learn how to deal with peer pressure. There are a lot of things a teen can do to handle it. 75 Good friends use positive peer pressure to help you be your best self. Also you need to think about the consequences of your decisions and actions, such as if an activity might harm your health or get you into trouble. Or you can talk to your parents or a trusted adult about the kinds of peer pressure you face and listen to their advice. Remember that if just one teen stands up against negative peer pressure, usually others will join him or her, and learning to handle peer pressure gives teens more confidence.
Peer pressure is not always bad.
They always give teens good advice.
Teens may give in to negative peer pressure.
Why it is important to deal with negative peer pressure
First of all, teens need to recognize negative peer pressure.
For example, you can choose good friends who share your values.
The desire to fit in with peers can be a very strong influence on teens.

About 45% of the people surveyed say their workplace is the hardest place to sell a good idea. The next largest group, 21%, say home is. Here Mattson offers 5 ways of outing an idea across so that the right people will listen.
1. Don’t take rejection (拒绝) personally. “One of the major blocks for people trying to sell a concept is that, if the idea is rejected, they take it as a rejection of them personally—and they stop trying,” Mattson says. 36 . Most major-league players strike out far more than they hit. Even so, they keep trying.
2. 37 . Many of us (especially the shy) use email to put our best ideas forward, but that’s not nearly as effective as doing it in person or, if necessary, on the phone. “You have your voice working for you, and you can be far more responsive(回应) to any questions the other person may have,” Mattson says.
3. Listen 70% of the time, and talk 30%. “In the sales world there’s a saying: 38 .” Mattson says. “Top salespeople don’t persuade others. Instead, they listen, which forces you to focus on the other person--what their position is, and why they’re responding the way they are.”
4. Practice. 39 . He or she will help you improve. Mattson recommends repeating your idea six times before presenting it to decision-makers. “The first one or two times, you’ll still be figuring out how you want to put it,” he says. “By the sixth time, you’re usually speaking with certainty and confidence.”
5. Get others to weigh in. “Successful selling isn’t ‘I’, it’s ‘we’,” Mattson says. “ 40 So include their suggestions in your idea.” Not only will that probably make the idea even better, but you’ll still get the credit for having gotten the ball rolling.
A. Never buy what you don’t need.
B. Use your voice, rather than email.
C. People want to be part of solution.
D. Talk on the phone in an effective way.
E. Everybody hates to be sold but loves to buy.
G. Find someone you trust who will hear you out.

Although problems are a part of our lives, it certainly doesn’t mean that we let them rule our lives forever. One day or another, you’ll have to stand up and say, “ problems, I don’t want you in my life.”
__36__ Problems with friends, parents, girlfriends, husbands, and children---the list goes on. Apart from these, the inner conflicts within ourselves work, too. These keep adding to our problems. Problems come in different shapes and colors and feelings.

People who enjoy a dream-filled sleep are better at recalling information and making links between facts when waking. But recharging with a shallow nap(小睡)offers no such mental improvement, the research suggests. The results of the study add to the growing body of evidence that Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep is very important to the brain’s ability to from strong memories.
An average night’s rest includes four or five spells of REM sleep, but these bursts tend to be lengthier towards the end of the night. This means adults getting less than the recommended seven to eight hours a night – and therefore adequate REM sleep—may be damaging their mind’s ability to memorize. Although REM sleep is not classified as a type of deep sleep, it is only reached after the brain has passed through deep sleep stages.
In the recent study, participants were shown groups of three words and asked to find another word that can be associated with all three words. They were tested once in the morning and then given the same task again in the afternoon. In between, some were allowed a nap with REM sleep, some a nap without REM sleep, while the others had a quiet rest period. The quiet rest and non-REM sleep groups didn’t improve, but the REM sleep group improved on their morning performance by an average of almost 40 per cent. Dr Sara Mednick, a sleep researcher at the University of California who led the study, believes the formation of connections between previously unassociated information in the brain occurs during REM sleep.
It is believed that sleep acts as a sort of mental filing system, enabling the brain to sort relevant information from useless information. This process may take place as memories are removed from one part of the brain to others.
Title REM sleep 76 to memory

On the train from New York to Boston, I found next to me sat an elderly blind gentleman. My PhD director was a blind man, so I started a talk with him. To my enjoyment, the blind man was a good talker, so we shared a happy and interesting journey. It was then a time when a racial conflict broke out in Los Angeles, so our topic turned to the racial prejudice.
The old man told me he was born in the South and that he was brought up to believe black people were a lower race. In the South he had never gone to dinner or school with black people. Their family had used black servants.
Then he went to school in the north. Once his class appointed him to organize a picnic. He went so far as to attach to the invitation the message “We reserve the right to refuse anyone”. In the South it means “Negroes are not welcome”. This aroused a huge row in the class, and their form teacher dealt him a severe scolding. He went on. Sometimes when he happened to be served by a black assistant in a shop, he would place the money on the counter for the black man to take so as to avoid hand-to-hand contact. I asked, smiling, “So you wouldn’t marry a person of colour ” He said laughingly, “I shut myself off from them, let alone marry a black woman. Truth to tell, at that time I thought any white person who married a black person would bring shame upon their parents. ”
During his graduate years in Boston he was caught in a car accident. He was lucky enough to survive, but he lost his sight, unable to see anything. He was admitted to Carroll Center for the Blind, where he learned to read Braille, walk with the aid of a stick and other skills. Gradually he came to live on his own. “What worried me most was that I couldn’t make out the colours of the people around. I went to a psychological counselor and told my problem to him. He helped me a lot and won my complete trust so that I was willing to tell everything to him. One day he told me he himself was black.” After that, his prejudice was thoroughly gone. He couldn’t tell whether the counselor was white or black but he knew he was a good man. The colour of skin meant nothing to him.
When the train was pulling into the station, the old man stood up and said, “I’ve lost my sight and also prejudice ----- What a fortunate thing!” His wife was already on the platform. As soon as the old man got off, the couple threw themselves into each other’s arms. To my surprise, his wife was an old black lady! I had a sudden insight: Eyes often mislead and even cheat us while an eyeless man is sometimes lucky, because he has to “look” at the world with mind’s eye; what eye views may be one-sided and incomplete while what mind’s eye views is always the true nature.

Procrastination (拖延) is a phenomenon we are familiar with. When we procrastinate, we waste our free time and put off important tasks we should do till it’s too late. 16 Here, I will share some personal steps taken to overcome procrastination with great success.
Break your work down into little parts. Part of the reason why we procrastinate is that we find the work too overwhelming (巨大的)for us. Break it down into little parts, and then focus on one part at a time. If you still procrastinate after doing so, break it down even further. 17
Change your environment. Look at your work desk and your room. Do they make you want to work or do they make you sleepy 18
Create a detailed timeline with specific deadlines. Having just one deadline for your work is like an invitation to procrastinate. That’s because we would get the impression that we have time and keep pushing everything back until it’s too late. 19 In this way, you know you have to finish each task by a certain date.
20 I’m pretty sure if you spend just 10 minutes talking to people like Steve Jobs or Bill Gates, you’ll be more inspired to act than if you spend the 10 minutes doing nothing. The people we are with influence our behavior.
A. Seek out someone who has already achieved the similar outcome to your goals.
B. Hang out with people who inspire you to take action.
C. Having a companion makes the whole process much more fun.
D. If it’s the latter, you should begin to change your workspace.
E. It’s a bad habit eating us away and stopping us achieving greater success in life.
F. Break down your project, and then create an overall timeline with specific deadlines for each small task.
G. Soon, your task will be so simple that you will be thinking you can do it now.

Have you ever made a foolish or harmful decision when angry Have you ever said or done something in the heat of the moment that you wish you could take back Or do you tend to keep your anger hidden, choosing to bury the feeling and hoping it just goes away
61.
People will be angry when they meet with unpleasant things. But doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it. They warn that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer.
62.
Anger is a normal emotion that we can release from time to time. Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others burst with anger, scream and yell. But other people keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called repressing anger.
63.
For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a person's health than expressing it. They said that when a person is angry, the brain releases the same hormone(荷尔蒙)。They speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, or sugar into the blood, etc.Anger may cause you a cancer
64.
Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger violently may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who keep anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure.
65.
Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger. They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it is, they say, “Do not express your anger while angry.Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably.”

Learn how to tell your favorite anecdotes or jokes until you can say them without thinking. First, write them out on a piece of paper. Then, make notes and practice saying them to yourself until you know them by heart. Now you're ready to try them out on real people. The more you practice, the better they'll get. It's amazing as you watch other people listen to your funny story in another language and laugh in the right places!

Phone up international hotels in towns where you live and make enquiries in English. Even if you live in a non-English speaking country, the reception staff will almost certainly speak English. This is a great way to practice your spoken English... and it's free. Just invent a few questions to ask. You could do the same in shops (pretending to be a foreigner who only speaks English), but that's a bit more difficult as you have to act the part too!
63.__________________________
Just go onto www. (or any other site with classified ads) and find someone who's interested in learning a language (you speak your language, which the other person wants to learn; and they speak their language, which you want to learn). You can do this online or in person. You both get to practice the language you want to learn... for free. Plus, you'll meet new and interesting people. [under 18s, please consult an adult before doing this.]
64.__________________________
Get together with some friends. You can get the scripts for just about any film or TV series from the internet. You could even try to learn your parts by heart, which would really help your English. If you're feeling adventurous, you could put on a mini-show at your school or place of work.

The relationship between parents and teachers is important in the development of a child. The good communication between them is communication that says ,“ I care about my child, and I value school.” The best way a parent can show how much he or she values learning is by sending a prepared child to school every day. 36 Once a child gets behind in class, catching up can be difficult.
Parents and teachers are partners in student development. A school community is built on relationships established(确立)among children, teachers, and children’s families.

With a new year approaching, many people have an "out with the old and in with the new"
mentality一and work is usually a big part of that. If you're feeling that way, here are several tips
that can help you become better at your job in 2014.
61。
One of the most common mistakes made by both managers and ,employees today, is that too
often, both are afraid to come to the table and talk about essential issues. Taylor says,“Fear of
conflict is so overwhelming(无法抵抗的),but if you communicate bravely, more frequently, and
honestly in 2014, and you're not afraid to work through conflict, you'll likely reduce your stress
and be a better worker.”Too much time is spent reflecting on misunderstood employee
communications, which, if left unaddressed, eventually leads to conflict.
62.
"Your boss controls your destiny(命运)so it's in your best interest to get to know them
better both personally and professionally,”says Andy Teach, author of From Graduation to
Corporation: The Practical Guide to Climbing the Corporate Ladder One Rung at a Time.“It
doesn't mean you need to be friends with them or hang out with them, but you do need to learn
what makes them tick. The more you communicate with your boss, the better it is for you.”
63.
"Share ideas with context and a clear path for implementation(执行)for the leader to
evaluate.The more you present any issues with recommended solutions and then implement those
solutions in a timely and effective manner, the more the leadership team will rely on you and
think about you for future projects and new responsibilities,”Meador says
64.
If you're already an overachiever, have been called a“workaholic”,or are generally
exhausted,then you need to slow down and break the habit of setting. impossible goals for yourself in the New Year. You may have to readjust and expect, say 75%of your workload to be achieved in a set period in order to feel fulfilled. If you're a manager, this approach may take some of unnecessary pressure off staff, too.
65.
"Your industry is changing all the time and you need to keep up with what's happening
now,”Teach says. Most industries have trade magazines or websites that have the latest news in
that industry. It's important to read these so that you are well informed and can discuss recent
industry events and changes with your co-workers, supervisors,and management.Information is
power.

The iPon Generation
Today it is common to see people who walk about with colored wires hanging from their ears wherever they go.They move about in their personal bubbles, sometimes unaware of what's happening around them.71 Outside life is shut out.So are you one of them"
For me; walking around in my own personal bubble is perfect. 72 What's even better, wearing earphones seems to give a signal to people which says; "I'm not available for chatting at the moment j"
Suppose, you're at work and about to make an incredible breakthrough but a colleague suddenly turns up.At this precise moment, the slightest disturbance would break your concentration.73 Once again, those wires hanging from your ears would be sure to give that "Go away!" signal.
74 It's probably part of the growing up stage when they just want to ignore their whole family.While their mothers give them lectures about why they should do their ' Yes.Mum.'' Problem solved.
Pretty soon, not only will we have pretty colored wires hanging from our ears-but also our brains will be directly plugged into some new high-tech instrument.We'll be in a virtual (虚拟的) world, communicating with everyone else, or choosing not to, as we like.In this world, we will all be permanently plugged in.75 And they are changing our social habits along the way.
In the end, there is a thin line between using technology as a tool for making life better and being a slave to it! It's so strange-suddenly, I don't feel like wearing my earphones anymore
A.Our instruments are changing quickly.
B.I also have wires hanging from my ears.
C.In the home situation, teenagers love these wires.
D.I don't have to deal with the noise from the environment.
