1、   Holding conversations may not seem like a skill. After all, everyone often talks to other people. 1.但是与陌生人交谈使人觉得有点紧张和尴尬。 Here are some ways to make conversations more fun and less embarrassing.

Body language

Although it may seem strange, much communication happens without any words. 2.The way you stand and act tells people a lot about you. When you're talking with someone, stand up straight and look them in the eye. This shows that you're talking confidently. And if you're nervous, acting like you're confident can help you feel more confident. When you're listening, look at the other person. Lean (倚靠) forward to show that you're interested in what they're saying.

Back and forth

A good conversation is not a speech, which means that both people need to take part in. If you're doing all the talking, 3.停下来给别人说话的机会。 If they don't say anything, try asking them a question.

Ask questions

Questions can also help if you're struggling (努力的) to think of something to say. If you ask the other person a question, they'll talk for a while. Maybe they'll say something you relate with and can reply to. 4.People are generally excited to find others with similar interests. When you ask questions, try to come up with open-ended ones. That means questions where the answer is more than just "yes" or "no". Open-ended questions in English usually start with who, what, when, where and why.

Don't fear silence

Don't scare if the conversation has quiet moments. Every conversation has some. 5.Think of them as opportunities to change the subject to something you're interested in. You could also talk about something you've done recently. Or once again, you can ask a question about the other person.

As with any skill, you will improve at holding conversations with time. So if you're shy, be brave, ask a question, and start a conversation.

24、A day is made up of hundreds of small decisions. I'll wear this; I'll buy this; I'll have this for lunch; I'll go there at 3 o'clock; I'll reply to this e-mail.

For some people, it's not a big deal. For others, however, making decisions isn't easy. They agonize over what to do, changing their minds back and forth. and second guessing themselves even after the decision has been made.

Emily was in the restaurant with her husband. After several minutes of reading the menu , she said , "Um , let's see. I don't know what to order. Maybe I'll have the burger; no wait, the pasta seems good. Or, maybe the soup and salad. Don, what are you ordering? OK; that sounds good ; I'll have that too. " Don often gets annoyed (恼怒的) .He doesn't understand why she finds the simplest decisions so difficult. He sometimes makes decisions for the two of them. But Emily gets annoyed with him for being so controlling. "But we'd never decide anything if I left it up to you," he argues.

Good decision-making is a skill that comes easily to some people, not so easily to others. Choices are confusing. Choices can make you anxious. They can cost you peace of mind, even after you've made the decision. The skill of good decision-making has become increasingly important. Why? Because we have a lot of choices, both with the simple and the serious things in life.

Decisions force us to close the door on other possibilities. Accept that you can't have it all. You can't order every delicious dish on the menu. And there will be paths not taken, things not experienced. Let the past be. Live in the present where what you do today will make a difference.

It's often good to think through your decisions, but don't overdo it. More thinking is not always better thinking. Too much research may lead to confusion. Sixth sense can help make decisions as good as careful study of endless data(数据) , sometimes even better.

Some decisions don't work out as expected ; this doesn't mean that you made a bad one. You decide to go on a cruise (油轮旅行) . You choose a large and beautiful ship. Everything should work out just right. Only you didn't count on a bug that spread through the ship, making you and your family sick for five clays. You felt terrible for making such a stupid decision. No. You did not make a stupid decision. It's just that sometimes the unexpected happens.

Try to make your decision. After all, it's your special experience.

【1】The words "agonize over" in Paragraph 2 probably mean" ".

A．think about a difficult decision carefully and with lots of effort

B．stick to the big decision that you have made

C．let go of the decision that you have made

D．fear to make decision out of uncertainty

【2】The writer mentioned Emily and her husband in Paragraph 3 to .

A．criticize Emily's husband for controlling

B．show how annoying indecisiveness could be

C．introduce how hard it was to decide what to eat

D．explain the difficulty Emily had when making a decision

【3】What can we learn from the passage?

A．We should think about all the possibilities before making a good decision.

B．Neither research nor data may help people with decision-making.

C．Sometimes unexpected situation may waste a good decision.

D．People feel terrible when making decisions.

【4】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A．Do you have difficulty making decisions?

B．Are you good at making a difficult decision?

C．Can you make a right decision easily or not?

D．Would you like to make decisions for others?

25、  

If you meet a British person in the street, it is very likely that he or she will apologize whether it is his or her fault (过错)or not.

It seems that Britain is becoming a nation where everyone is saying sorry. Almost each person says sorry about eight times each day—and one in eight people apologizes as many as 20 times a day.

As you may have seen, the British apologize more often than members of other cultures. Research shows that in many cases, people’s love of saying sorry in Britain goes a little further than it does for Americans. For example, about 15 British people would say “sorry” while only 10 from the US would do this if they sneezed, if they corrected someone’s mistake or if someone knocked into them.

In the old days, “sorry” was used to express regret and sadness for having done something wrong. But now British people use the expression as a way of showing good manners. For example, they might say “sorry” instead of “excuse me”, “pardon”, “what” or “whatever”.

People in Britain also use sorry when they share the same feelings with others—so they might say “sorry about the rain”.

However, British people’s use of “sorry” may make things very confusing and difficult for foreigners who are not familiar with their ways. But actually, people in Britain pay much attention to the feelings of others. This is the reason why they apologize every day.

【1】What does the passage mainly talk about?

A.What daily expressions Britain people often use.

B.How people in Britain keep in touch with foreigners.

D.Why British people say sorry many times every day.

A.did something wrong B.asked the way C.wanted to repeat something D.made a choice

【3】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A.Americans say sorry more than British people.

B.Even British people get confused when they say sorry.

C.Almost every person in Britain says sorry 20 times a day.

D.The British also say sorry to share the same feelings with others.

【4】What does the underlined word “confusing” mean in the last paragraph?

A.令人困惑的 B.豁然开朗的 C.不拘礼节的 D.清晰明了的

【5】From the passage we can learn that British people   .

A.like to talk about the weather

B.care a lot about others

C.are difficult to get along with

D.love to correct mistakes

28、根据短文内容，用括号内所给动词的适当形式填空，必要时可加助动词或情态动词。

We have only one earth. So【1】(protect) the earth is like protecting our eyes. People’s attention to recycling is increasing. From recycling plastic bags to using environment friendly products, there are many developments which can【2】(see) in almost every corner of the world.

Sweden is a worldwide leader in recycling. They open the world’s first mall for repaired and recycled goods. It’s called ReTuna, a two-story building in Eskilstuna, Sweden, about 70 miles west of Stockholm. The clever thing about this mall is its position. It’s right next to the city’s recycling center. So a stream of cars 【3】（come）to drop off unwanted household things already. This produces a supply of things for the shops. There are 14 special shops. When goods arrive, a team sorts everything into categories. The mall only sells goods that are recycled or “upcycled”, meaning unwanted things broken down and reinvented as something new. By doing so, 50 new jobs were created in repair and retail(零售).

“You can come and just do sustainable(可持续发展的) shopping and Sweden loves it. And the world【4】（love）it, ”said Anna Bergstrom, the manager of the ReTuna Mall. “I think it’s fun【5】（find）something that people have used, and we can use further, ”said Cato Limas, a ReTuna customer. “If you look at the things they【6】（sell）here, they’re almost new. So actually, why do you need to buy new things?”

These unwanted things found new homes. In 2018, the mall【7】(sell) second-hand goods worth $1.3 million.
