“Confidence” is probably one of the most noticeable traits（品質(zhì)）in the Americans．They show confidence in the way they talk，the way they smile，the way they dress and the way they walk．Living and competing with all these confidence American students，I find it extremely important to be confident as an international student and instructor．As a student，being confident means you should never hesitate to raise your hand whenever a question or a point comes to your mind．Don’t mind if it sounds simple or silly．Otherwise you will never get a chance to speak in class at all．What’s worse，the professors may think you are not prepared for the discussion or you do not have your own opinion on the issue—this is the last comment any graduate would like to receive．
Being confidence for me as a foreign instructor means calmly asking the student to repeat what he or she has said if I did not get it．Pretending to understand what you actually did not may just bring yourself embarrassment or even disgrace．But the time I most need to be confident is when my students come to my office and bargain about the grades I have given for their Speeches．（The course I’m teaching here is Public Speaking）．Modesty is a trait highly valued in China，but it won’t be of much help here if you want to survive and succeed in a good American graduate program．
小題1:To compete with American students it’s very important to    ．
A．be quite confident
B．be polite and friendly
C．have more discussions with them
D．understand what they think about
小題2:A professor will have the worst opinion of a student who            ．
A．gives a silly or simple answer
B．tries to seize any chance to speak in class
C．shows no interest in the course
D．is considered to have no opinion of his own
小題3:The author is most likely to feel embarrassed if         ．
A．he asks a student to repeat what he has said
B．the students bargain with him
C．he pretends to know what he doesn’t
D．he has to give a speech
小題4:We learn from the second paragraph that      ．
A．we should also remain modest in America
B．modesty doesn’t help you much in America
C．Americans also like modest people
D．modesty can help you through an American graduate program
小題5:The passage is mainly developed by       ．
A．providing examples
B．making comparisons
C．giving different figures
D．telling personal experiences

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

I feel it enormous responsibility, as a mother of two little girls, to lead you down a path that is relatively healthy when it comes to beauty and self-image.
In a lot of women’s eyes I’ve probably already failed in that respect due to the amount of pink princess Barbie (芭比娃娃) mess cluttering up (堆滿) Vera’s room. But I will say something about Barbie: I played with that stuff for a solid decade when I was growing up and here I am now at a healthy weight with a healthy outlook on my body and image. I have a successful career. If Barbie was really so damaging to my femininity (女性氣質(zhì)) and self-image I highly doubt I could list all of the accomplishments.
But I get it too. It’s hard for women to maintain a healthy self-image. I have girlfriends around whom I have to brace myself to see, because just being around them makes me self-conscious. I look at old pictures of my mother and wonder why I’ve never been able to be as skinny as she was. And then I have friends who are thinner than their mothers ever were. We women go round and round in circles, holding hands and trying to be one another sometimes. Men like to think we dress and style ourselves for them, but why would we when they hardly notice? I’ve never tried so hard to look good when I know I’m about to meet up with a stylish girlfriend. It’s she who will notice my slimmed-down waist or the thinnest, little bracelet on my arm.
And I have no doubt that the two of you, Veronica and Juliette, will endlessly compare yourselves to each other. You will wonder why one of you got longer legs or shinier hair. The thing I’ll tell you is this: not even the prettiest of us feel settled. The girl you think looks the most perfect in the world is probably the girl who wants to change herself more than anyone else.
Don’t take these on. You are not worthless. You are so full of love and light and you should let it shine through your every second. If someone pushes you down for standing tall then just push yourself back up and stand even taller. And know that the reason they push you down in the first place is just because they’re scared.
小題1:From the second paragraph, we can infer that the author _____.
A．regrets buying so much Barbie stuff for her daughters
B．thinks loving Barbie makes her not confident about her self-image
C．owes her beauty and success to playing with Barbie
D．thinks playing with Barbie caused no damage to her beauty and success
小題2:In the third paragraph, the author intends to show that _____.
A．women tend to be proud of their beautiful friends
B．she cares much about her appearance
C．she feels proud of her mother’s beauty
D．women tend to admire others and compare with each other
小題3:Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A．The author is disappointed that few men take notice of her slim figure.
B．The author cares more about looking good before her girlfriends.
C．Girls should constantly compare themselves with others to improve their beauty.
D．Only the prettiest girl can feel confident about her beauty.
小題4:The author advises her daughters that _____.
A．they should be cautious not to be pushed down by others
B．they should care much about their strong points instead of appearances
C．they should try to grow taller than others
D．they should care more about others’ opinions

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

There’s a body of water in Israel that is actually below sea level. Water constantly runs into it, but, because of the law of gravity (萬(wàn)有引力定律)，nothing can flow out of it. Do you know the name of this famous lake? It’s called the Dead Sea. It’s called this because no living thing could live there. The water is almost dead, compared to what happens with “l(fā)iving water”.
When you think of the term “l(fā)iving water”, the image that comes to mind is a rushing river that is flowing. It’s filled with life and movement. It doesn’t just “receive”, but is also “giving” simultaneously.
Many of us believe that we need to receive more of something in order to be happy. Whether what we desire is money or something else, we think we need more of it in order to be fulfilled.
As a result, we begin to operate in fear and therefore don’t give anything because we’re afraid that we won’t have enough. The result? Like the Dead Sea, we become lifeless. Life is meant to flow. when a pool stops flowing, it becomes stagnant(停滯的). Stagnant water breeds disease and death. It can’t breathe. It can’t receive any more. If nothing is flowing out, there’s no room for anything else to come in.
The solution? Give. As you give, you’ll receive. It’s a universal law. You see it at work everywhere. we’ve somehow been deceived （ 欺騙 ）into believing that if we don’t give, we’ll have more. Or we’re afraid that if we do give, we won’t have anything left. On one hand, this seems to make sense. But it doesn’t work. Because when we don’t give, we shut off the flow of what’s coming in.
小題1:What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A．The development of the Dead Sea
B．The special character of the Dead Sea
C．The position of the Dead Sea
D．The present situation of the Dead Sea
小題2:According to the passage, people wouldn’t like to give because________.
A．they are really poor in fact B．they don’t know how to give
C．they don’t know who to give D．they are still not satisfied
小題3:According to the passage, if you refuse to give, you will___________.
A．be like a pool with stagnant water
B．have enough space for what you’ll receive
C．need something more to be satisfied
D．do everything according to the law
小題4:What would be the best title for the passage?
A．Give and you’ll receiveB．The secret of the Dead sea
C．A universal lawD．come in and come out
