Dear Alice，
You really have two different questions here，so we’ll discuss them one at a time．
Your problems at school may be a result of a number of things．You don’t say much about how these classmates get along with each other．It’s possible that all the students are feeling a little cautious(謹(jǐn)慎的) in the first term．
It’s also possible that the others are unkind．If this is so，you have to find out why you are the class “outsider．”
In your letter you say you often offer to help others with their work．Is it possible that your classmates don’t understand your offers? Could it seem that you were trying to“buy”friends with these offers?
Is it possible that you took no notice of your classmates when you had your good friend near you? They may have felt hurt at that time．It may take a time for them to believe in you if so．Try to ask one classmate directly what the problem is．If you hear a negative(負(fù)面的)answer，at least you’ll know what to do．
Yours truly，
Shelia

What’s the most important thing for you to have in your life? Somebody mentions hard-work, others suggest knowledge, love and luck.
If you arrange the 26 English letters alphabetically and use numbers to represent each of them, for example, 1 for a, 2 for b, 3 for c…, you can change an English word into a number. So hard-work becomes 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11=" 98," meaning 98 is its mark; knowledge: 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5="96," while love: 12+15+22+5="54," and luck: 12+21+3+11="47," a small mark. None of these words can give one a full mark. What about money or prayer? They can’t, either.
Then what else? Don’t be worried. You can always find an answer to a problem in your life, when you change your way of looking at things or doing things, which is your attitude. Yes, attitude is the word. See for yourself: attitude: 1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5=100，a full mark!
Different attitudes lead to different courses of life. Most times people hope for a better life. It is possible that one will have a change for the better after one has changed one’s attitude.
When you change your manner and became friendly towards others, you’ll meet more smiling faces towards you. In the same way, if you take a positive attitude towards failure, you’ll find it’s also rewarding though it has caused you losses.
小題1:Some people think it is important to have hard-work, knowledge, _______in their life.
小題2:According to the passage, the mark of the word “money” is _________.
小題3:From the passage, we know it’s possible for you_______if you change your attitude.
小題4:People will meet_______ towards them when they change their manners and become friendly to others.
小題5:The main idea of the passage is that ___________.

Assertiveness is the ability to confidently express your opinions, feelings,attitudes, and rights, in a way that doesn't infringe（侵犯） the rights of others.
Many of us are taught that it is not nice to consider our own needs above those of others. If someone says or does something that we don't like, we should just be quiet and try to stay away from that person in the future.
Why is Assertiveness important?
If you don't know how to be assertive, you might experience:
?Depression - Anger, a sense of being helpless, hopeless, or of having no　control over your life.
?Resentment - Anger at others for taking advantage of you.
?Frustration - Why did I allow that to happen?
Most people find it easier to be assertive in some situations than in others. This　makes perfect sense. It's a lot easier to hold your ground with a stranger than with　someone you love. But the more important the relationship is to you, the more�。椋恚穑铮颍簦幔睿� it is to be assertive. Assertive behavior leads to increased respect from others！
But before you decide to act assertively, you have to decide if you can live
with the results. Although assertive behavior usually will result in a positive
response  (積極的回應(yīng))，some people 　might react differently.
How to be effectively（有效地） assertive:
?Use "I" statements. Keep the focus on the problem you're having. "I'd like to be able to tell my stories without interruption." instead of "You're always interrupting my stories ! "
?Use facts, not opinions. "Did you know that shirt has a hole?" instead of　"You're not going out looking like THAT, are you?"
?Express ownership of your thoughts, feelings, and opinions. "I get angry when he breaks his promises. " instead of "He makes me angry. "
? Make clear and direct requirements. Don't invite the person to say no. "Will  you please?" instead of　'Would you mind．．．?" or "Why don't you．．．?"
?Keep repeating your point. Use a low level and pleasant voice. Don't try to explain yourself.
小題1:The writer probably agrees that­­­____________.
A．you should consider others' response before you act assertively
B．you should be assertive if you want to get good marks
C．a(chǎn)ssertiveness is the ability to infringe others' rights.
D．a(chǎn)ssertive behavior will bring you bad feelings
小題2:The expression "hold yourｇround" probably means “_________________”
A．reach an agreement
B．insist on your point
C．keep your word
D．keep on fighting
小題3:Which of the following helps you to be effectively assertive?
A．Explaining yourself in a soft and sweet voice.
B．Expressing ownership of others' thoughts.
C．Making requirements directly and clearly.
D．Using your opinions instead of facts.

In April, 2013, I visited Yangzhou.
Ge Garden is very beautiful and peaceful. The ticket has a map on the back of it that I didn’t noticed until I had already left. But to be honest, I don’t think that map is very useful because it isn’t very clear an tailed. In my opinion, it’s better to improve it. Compared with He Garden, the map on the back of the ticket for He Garden is much clearer, more detailed and more useful. However, in the room that has the picture of the family members, there is only Chinese, no English, so my advice is to add English in interesting places. I got lost in the Slender West Lake. I spent about 30 minutes just trying to get out of one area. I think they need more signs posted along the trails. I like the Slender West Lake best, as she is so pretty! The ladies that were sweeping were very sweet. They always smiled at me and said hello, so it was nice.
Taking a taxi is the most efficient(有效率的) and quickest way to get around Yangzhou. I didn’t have a problem getting to the places which I’d like to go to while using a taxi. The driver was very friendly. The fare isn’t too high, either. But I didn’t enjoy taking the bus. The bus ride to the Mastixia Bay (茱萸灣公園) took long although I only had to pay one yuan. It was also hard finding where Bus 32 was. I tried asking some people in English but they couldn’t understand me, so I had to ask in simple Chinese that I only know buy that still didn’t work. I spent about one hour walking around the city to look for Bus 32. The tricycle(三輪車) was nice, but it was a little too expensive for a small distance. Maybe I was ripped off by the guy who rode for me, but it was an enjoyable ride. I felt like I was part of the garden city more.
Over all I am satisfied with Yangzhou and will recommend it to others.
小題1:How many places of interest are mentioned in the passage?
A．ThreeB．FourC．FiveD．Six

A．English should be added in interesting places.
B．Everyone in Yangzhou should speak English.

One summer vacation in my college, my roommate Ted asked to me to work on his father’s farm in Argentina. The idea was exciting. Then I had second thoughts. I had never been far from New England, and I had been homesick my first few weeks at college. What about the language? The more I thought about it, the more the idea worried me.
Finally, I turned down the invitation. Then I realized I had turned down something I wanted to do because I was scared and felt depressed(沮喪). That experience taught me a valuable lesson and I developed a rule for myself: do what makes you anxious(焦慮); don’t do what makes you depressed.
In my senior year, I wanted to be a writer. But my professor wanted me to teach. I hesitated. The idea of writing was much scarier than spending a summer in Argentina. Back and forth I went, making my decision, unmaking it. Suddenly I realized that every time I gave up the idea of writing, that downhearted feeling went through me.
Giving up writing really depressed me. Then I learned another lesson. To avoid the depression meant having to bear much worry and concern.
When I first began writing articles, I often interviewed big names. Before each interview I would get butterflies in the stomach. One of them was the great composer Duke Ellington. On the stage and on television, he seemed very confident. Then I learned Ellington still got stage fright（害怕）. If Ellington still had anxiety attacks, how could I avoid them? I went on doing those frightening interviews. Little by little, I was even looking forward to the interviews. Where were those butterflies?
In truth, they were still there, but fewer of them. I had learned from a process psychologists（心理學(xué)家） call “extinction”. If you put an individual in an anxious situation often, finally there isn’t anything to be worried about, which brings me to a conclusion: you’ll never get rid of anxiety by avoiding the things that caused it.
The point is that the new, the different, is definitely scary. But each time you try something, you learn, and as the learning piles up, the world opens to you.
小題1:We can infer from the passage that the author________. 
A．finds it difficult to make decision
B．has found out what causes anxiety
C．was encouraged by Duke Ellington’s stage fright
D．no longer feels anxious about new experiences
小題2:What does the word “extinction” in Paragraph 6 means?
A．a(chǎn) person’s loss of confidence little by little
B．the natural development of a child’s abilities
C．the inborn ability to avoid anxious situations
D．the process of losing fear by keeping facing anxiety
小題3:Which of the following opinions does the writer probably accept?
A．Anxiety can be a positive drive
B．Hesitation leads to depression.
C．Avoiding anxiety reduces depression.
D．Depression is a signal that one is growing up.
小題4:What's the best title for the passage?
A．Confidence: Key to Success
B．Anxiety: Challenge by Another Name
C．Depression: A Psychological Appearance
D．Success: A Trip Through Anxiety and Depression
