How to stick to your own opinion in socializing ?

When it comes to your life , the opinion of others should matter very little . I am not talking about your friends and family , but others who have no importance in your reality – like your social peers and others like them . They are unimportant to your life , and yet you secretly struggle for approval at the cost of your own . Remember , your opinion is king .

Start by being your true self . Allowing your true self to appear and connect with people on a more real level helps them in turn do the same with you . There is openness and honesty in the interaction . At the end of the day this is what we all want – the joy of true and meaningful connections .

Next , evaluate your decisions . Are they representing who you are or are they the result of other people’s opinion ? Practice your ability not to be affected by pressure and learn to take nothing personally . When we are bothered by outer criticisms , it influences and changes our behavior . Don’t look to others for guidance on how to behave . Don’t look for approval . If you don’t need approval , you won’t have a reason to try to impress people or be impressed by them .

And finally , be real in EVERY situation . As you express your real self , others will think highly of you and the few who don’t – don’t matter anyway . Be willing to be judged , and then not take it to heart . If all this is a bit scary , then start small . Rather than not caring at all what others think , start by just caring a little less . No one outside your inner circle should get a vote or pass judgment or have influence on how you live your life .

1.The text is especially helpful for those who want to __________ .

A. enlarge friend circle

B. speak highly of others

C. remain unaffected by others’ opinions

D. develop the ability to make wise decisions

2.Being real can help people __________ .

A. get honest relations B. gain courage

C. take nothing too personal D. avoid criticisms

3.What are people advised to do in order to stick to their opinions in socializing ?

A. Care about no one’s opinion .

B. Look for guidance on behaviors .

C. Impress people by making changes .

D. Start by taking others’ judgment less seriously .

B

In Britain and other countries，young people sometimes take a “gap year，” a year off between high school and college．This idea never gained a big following in America．Recent news reports have suggested that interest may be growing，though there are no official numbers．

Charles Deacon，Dean of Admissions at Georgetown University in Washington，D．C．，estimates that in the current first-year class of 1，600 students，only about 25 decided to take a year off．He says this number hasn’t changed much over the years．

Mr．Deacon says the most common reason for taking a “gap year” is to have a chance to travel，but he says international students may take a “gap year” to meet requirements at home for military duty．

Some high school graduates see a year off as a chance to recover after twelve years of required education，but it can also give students a chance to explore their interests．Students hoping to be doctors，for example，could learn about the profession by volunteering in a hospital．

Many colleges and universities support gap-year projects by permitting students to delay their admission．Experts say students can grow emotionally and intellectually as they work at something they enjoy．

The Harvard admissions office has an essay on its Web site called “Time Out or Burn Out for the Next Generation．” It praises the idea of taking time off to step back，think and enjoy gaining life experiences outside the pressure of studies．It also notes that students are sometimes admitted to Harvard or other colleges partly because they did something unusual with that time．

Of course，a gap year is not for everyone．Students might miss their friends who go on directly to college，and parents might worry that their children will decide not to go to college once they take time off．Another concern is money．A year off，away from home，can be costly．

Holly Bull’s job is to specialize in helping students plan their gap year．She notes that several books have been written about this subject．She says these books along with media attention and the availability of information on the Internet have increased interest in the idea of a year off，and she points out that many gap-year programs cost far less than a year of college．

1.What is the passage mainly about？

A．If you want to go to an American university，take a gap year first．

B．More and more American students are choosing to take a year off．

C．It is likely that taking a “gap year” is becoming popular in America．

D．Americans hold different opinions towards students’ taking a “gap year”．

2.How many reasons for students’ taking a “gap year” are mentioned in the passage？

A．2 B．3 C．4 D．5．

3.The essay “Time Out or Burn Out for the Next Generation．” suggests that ______．

A．every student must take a“gap year”before applying for a famous university

B．some famous universities encourage students to gain more life experiences

C．taking a‘gap year’can make students free from life learning

D．the stress of studies does harm to the students’ health

4.What can we learn from the passage？

A．Charles Deacon doesn’t support the idea of the students’ taking a “gap year”．

B．Books and media have contributed to the students’ interest in school learning．

C．Parents might disagree with the program，concerned about their children’s future．

D．Experts agree taking a year off will benefit the students emotionally and physically．

What’s your opinion about finding good friends? Speaking from my past experience, it is very difficult to find good friends that you can trust but once you have found them, they are worth keeping forever! Therefore, I think friendship is the most important relationship that anybody could have.

The qualities I look for in a friend are a good sense of humor and sensitivity. A friend would have to be strong-minded and highly spirited. I think that these qualities are the key qualities to look for in a good friend.

Even the best friends can still have arguments between themselves, though usually about more serious topics, rather than the usual childish arguments. Some matters can seriously affect friendship. If one of your friends started experimenting with harmful and dangerous drugs, what would you do? A good friend would try to help as much as possible, while a bad example of a friend would simply shrug and turn a blind eye.

Not only the bad things affect friendship ---good activities do too, such as bonding with one another, not just by going out on a night with them, but by spending quality time with them and talking to each other. This is a key aspect of a good friendship.

Good friends do not always have to be in the same age group as you. I have a good friend and she is 47 years old and I am 16.

Unfortunately, some people lose contact with their friends as they grow older, which is a sad way to lose a good friend.

I think friendship is one of the most important things in life because if you have no friends you will have no happiness.

1.According to the author, true friendship _____.

A. is easy to get B. needs management

C. deepens with time D. affects one’s happiness

2.Paragraph 3 is mainly about _____.

A. why drugs are bad for teenagers

B. whether a friend is reliable

C. ways that help avoid arguments

D. problems that will test friendship

3.According to the author, which matters least in friendship?

A. Confidence B. Age

C. Sense of humor. D. Communication.

4.Which of the following sayings can match the author's view on friendship?

A. Old friends and old wines are best.

B. A friend without faults will never be found.

C. A friend to everybody is a friend to nobody.

D. A life without a friend is a life without a sun.
