At the same time, another furniture maker was also asked for a 3 job by a different family. Unlike my grandfather, he worked right away.

Forum (论坛) First impressions Do you think first impressions are important Most people think it takes about two minutes to make a judgment about someone when you first meet them. I’m reading a book at the moment about first impressions. It says that we, actually, make decisions about new people in a few seconds—that means we make a decision without even thinking. Our minds unconsciously (无意识地) say, “I really like you” or “I’ll keep a distance from you.” How quickly do you think you make judgments about people Do you have any advice on what to do or say when you meet new people Any answers, please. Ana, Spain When a friend introduces me to someone at a party and I have to make small talk, I sometimes stumble (结巴) over my words and start mumbling (嘟哝). I’ve watched more confident people and they always speak up. I read something about giving people compliments (赞美) and asking questions. It’s a good way to start a conversation. You can say something like, “I really love your shoes! Where did you get them ” So, that’s what I’m going to do next time I meet someone new. Also, feeling confident about what I look like helps me—that’s why I always wear clothes that make me feel good. Mark, Australia I work in a big company and I meet new colleagues all the time. You need to think about the language you use, especially when you greet people. I always say, “Hello, pleased to meet you.” I can’t stand it when people you don’t know are really informal (不拘礼节的) and say something like, “Hey, what’s up ” I think it also sounds silly when people are too formal and say “How do you do ” Jelena, Poland As I’m writing this, I’m nervous because I’m starting a new class tomorrow and I’m going to meet lots of new classmates. I think it’ll be fine, though. I know one person and I’m meeting her before the class. Also, most people are nervous in new situations. My parents always tell me to treat people as you want them to treat you. You should never talk down to them or gossip (说……的闲话) about them. I’d like people to chat with me and be friendly, so I’m going to do that. I think it’s also important to make eye contact and listen to people. You should not talk about yourself all the time or take control of the conversation.
1. Mark would most likely say “________” when greeting new colleagues.
A. How are you doing B. How do you do
C. Hey, man! What’s up D. It’s nice meeting you.

B. You’d better lead the conversation so that others don’t feel left out.
C. You should be friendly and avoid talking about other people’s private lives.
D. You’d better not make direct eye contact with people you meet for the first time.

“Well, we could use some hot dogs.” I was at the local charity food pantry (分发处) on a cold morning. They had an old shop besides it where I would sometimes stop to pick up a sweatshirt or a book for my sons. Sometimes I would also step back into the food pantry and ask if they needed anything. I got help from food pantries when I was a young father with a hungry family. Now, I like to give back.
This time I could see that most of the shelves were stocked with boxes and cans donated by stores. One thing they said they needed was meat, however, hot dogs were cheap and I didn’t mind getting some. I soon went to the local grocery store and filled my car with all the hot dogs I could afford.
As I was paying for them, I thought of my own childhood. I could see my mom boiling two hot dogs in a pot. Next she put each one on a slice of white bread with a piece of cheese. To top it off she would add a little tomato sauce. It didn’t cost much but to me it was a feast (盛宴), cooked with love, eaten with joy.
That memory warmed my heart as I dropped off the hot dogs at the food pantry. It felt good knowing that some other little boy or girl out there would soon be having a happy lunch. I left the pantry with a smile on my face. And as I walked to my car, I could feel my mom smiling down on me from heaven.
The truth is that, when done with love, giving and receiving are the same thing. It all comes back around again.
4. The writer went to the food pantry to ________ on a cold morning.
A. pick up a sweatshirt for his son B. exchange hot dogs for daily things

C. Because hot dogs were cheap so he could buy many.

6. As the writer dropped off the hot dogs, he felt ________.
A. sorry for his mom B. shy for his behavior
C. good about giving back D. thankful for the pantry

In order to find the box of money that Injun Joe buried, they tried their best. One morning, Tom took Huckleberry to a quiet place and told him that he knew it was never in room number two and it was in the caves.
“I will help you get it out. But I don’t want to get lost there! We won’t get lost because I know an easy way to get in there. I’m the only one who knows it, Huck.”
They got some bread and meat, some string, some bags, and some candles. They borrowed a boat from somebody who wasn’t around. Then they went down the river to the hole where Tom had got out of the caves. The hole was covered in bushes, but Tom remembered exactly where it was.
“It’s a great hiding place,” said Hucklebery.
They went into the caves. Tom was soon back at the spring where he had stayed. Then he and Huckleberry went to where he had seen Injun Joe. He held up his candle, and they saw a big cross on the wall.
“Number two, under the cross!” said Tom. “That’s what he said.”
Huckleberry was afraid. “Tom, let’s get out. What if Injun Joe’s ghost comes ”
“No, ghosts don’t want money! Anyway, Injun Joe died five miles from here. It’s too far.” Huckleberry agreed. They got to the cross and began to look under it. It didn’t take long for them to find the wooden box with the money. It was very heavy. They couldn’t hoist it. They took the money out of the box and put it into the bags. The bags were easier to carry. They got out of the caves and went back into the boat.
“Haha, we are rich now.” Huckleberry laughed. “I can buy delicious food, new clothes and even anything I want. I won’t go to school any more.”
Soon they were back in St. Petersburg. When the Welshman saw them come back safely, he hugged them and made them go to Widow Douglas’s house. There were many people there. Widow Douglas gave both boys new clothes to change into. Huckleberry didn’t like being with so many people and wanted to leave, but Tom made him stay. The Welshman made a speech and told everybody how Huckleberry had helped to catch Injun Joe. With tears filled in eyes, Widow Douglas said she was going to give them some money if they really hated school so that they could start a business when they were older. Although they all knew that she lived a hard life herself.
After hearing this, Tom felt their deep love and made a decision. Then he told them that the didn’t need any money because they already had a lot. He showed everyone the bags with the money. They were amazed to look at the bags full of money.
“Huck,” Tom said,“All the neighbours gave us a lot of care and help although they met a lot of difficulty. That’s the real treasure in our life. I think we should give the money to people in need. And we have to go to school to work hard for our future. I’m with you.”
“That’s better.” Huckleberry agreed.
Tom made him promise and wrote his name in blood.

In order to find the box of money that Injun Joe buried, they tried their best. One morning, Tom took Huckleberry to a quiet place and told him that he knew it was never in room number two and it was in the caves.
“I will help you get it out. But I don’t want to get lost there! We won’t get lost because I know an easy way to get in there. I’m the only one who knows it, Huck.”
They got some bread and meat, some string, some bags, and some candles. They borrowed a boat from somebody who wasn’t around. Then they went down the river to the hole where Tom had got out of the caves. The hole was covered in bushes, but Tom remembered exactly where it was.
“It’s a great hiding place,” said Hucklebery.

Soon they were back in St. Petersburg. When the Welshman saw them come back safely, he hugged them and made them go to Widow Douglas’s house. There were many people there. Widow Douglas gave both boys new clothes to change into. Huckleberry didn’t like being with so many people and wanted to leave, but Tom made him stay.

Dear Betty,
I’m very glad to write to you. I have had some problems since I was in the ninth grade. I seldom communicate with my parents. It seems that they never want to understand me. So we even have an argument sometimes. I feel nervous and unhappy. I am a boy who likes playing basketball very much,but my homework is getting more and more. I don’t have time to play and relax any longer. Now I have a lot of pressure from my schoolwork so that I can’t often fall asleep at night. I am really tired and stressed out.
What should I do Could you please give me some advice Thanks a lot.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua
