Knowing how to communicate well needs very personal attention between you and another human being. Is there a better way to learn how to communicate effectively? Yes, there is. Please follow the 3 basic steps below.
1. Relax and Breathe.
Whether it’s a business meeting or the first date, the first thing you must do in order to communicate is to relax. When you relax you are in control. You control your reactions and your reactions do not control you. Breathing is central to relaxation. Take a few deep breaths and your body will begin to be more at ease. This will help you apply what you already know about how to communicate well.
2. Think and you will be prepared.
Have you ever heard the old saying, "think before you speak"? Well, it is true. By thinking ahead about how the conversation might flow, you will be better prepared, more at ease and more confident.
3. Follow the flow of the conversation.
If you are uncomfortable, being silent will only make it worse and make the other person uncomfortable as well. So when all else fails, follow through with small talk until a common topic appears.
A good way to keep a conversation going is to ask the other person questions. People love to talk about themselves and if you do this they will think very highly of you. Learning good communication skills is not something out of reach. If you make an effort, you will succeed.

B．Because it will help you organize good sentences for your communication.
C．Because it can help you keep excited and react quickly in the communication.
D．Because no one likes to communicate with a nervous person.

Open Letter to an Editor
I had an interesting conversation with a reporter recently --- one who works for you. In fact, he’s one of your best reporters. He wants to leave.
Your reporter gave me a copy of his resume(簡歷) and photocopies of six stories that he wrote for you. The headlines showed you played them proudly. With great enthusiasm, he talked about how he finds issues(問題), approaches them, and writes about them, which tells me he is one of your best. I’m sure you would hate to lose him. Surprisingly, your reporter is not unhappy. In fact, he told me he really likes his job. He has a great assignment (分工), and said you run a great paper. It would be easy for you to keep him, he said. He knows that the paper values him. He appreciates the responsibility you’ve given him, takes ownership of his profession, and enjoys his freedom.
So why is he looking for a way out?
He talked to me because he wants his editors to demand so much more of him. He wants to be pushed, challenged, coached to new heights.
The reporter believes that good stories spring from good questions, but his editors usually ask how long the story will be, when it will be in, where it can play, and what the budget is.
He longs for conversations with an editor who will help him turn his good ideas into great ones. He wants someone to get excited about what he’s doing and to help him turn his story idea upside down and inside out, exploring the best ways to report it. He wants to be more valuable for your paper. That’s what you want for him, too, isn’t it?
So your reporter has set me thinking.
Our best hope in keeping our best reporters, copy editors, photographers, artists --- everyone --- is to work harder to make sure they get the help they are demanding to reach their potential. If we can’t do it, they’ll find someone who can.
小題1:What does the writer think of the reporter?
A．Optimistic. B．Imaginative. C．Ambitious.D．Proud.
小題2:What does the reporter want most from his editors in their talks?
A．Finding the news value of his stories. B．Giving him financial support.
C．Helping him to find issues.D．Improving his good ideas.
小題3:Who probably wrote the letter?
A．An editor.B．An artist. C．A reporter. D．A reader.
小題4:The letter aims to remind editors that they should ______.
A．keep their best reporters at all costs
B．give more freedom to their reporters
C．be aware of their reporters’ professional development
D．a(chǎn)ppreciate their reporters’ working styles and attitudes

“Everybody loves a bargain.” One person's useless, ugly, or broken object can be another person's bargain. That is why so many Americans do not throw things away. They put them outside their houses. They put on a “For Sale” sign. And, as simple as that, they have a yard sale.         
The sellers put a paid announcement(付費(fèi)通告)in a local newspaper. It tells when and where the yard sale will take place. These sales are very popular during weekends in spring, summer, and autumn. Early in the morning, all the things to be sold are carried out of the house. Then they sit all day in the sunlight----like tired guests at a party----waiting for someone to take them home.
Just about anything can be sold at a yard sale. Sometimes, there are more clothes than anything else. Cooking equipment is also popular. So are old toys, tools, books, tables and chairs. Then there are objects called “white elephants”. A white elephant is something you think is extremely ugly or useless. It may be an electric light shaped like a fish. You feel a sharp pain whenever you look at it. To someone else, however, it might be a thing of beauty and joy.
Some people go to yard sales to find a special thing that they collect. It may be old toy trains, for example, or painting of dogs. Experts say more Americans are collecting old things now than ever before. Most people who go to yard sales, however, are not looking for anything special. They might buy an object simply because it costs so little. They enjoy negotiating(談判) over prices, even if they really do not need the object. Later, they may hold their own yard to sell all the things they have bought.
小題1:What kind of things will go to a yard sale?
A．Cheap and ugly things.B．Things people no longer use.
C．Things out of season.D．Things of great value.
小題2:A white elephant refers to _________.
A．something that can cause a feeling of pain
B．something disliked by the owners while appreciated by others
C．something sold at the lowest prices
D．a(chǎn) toy shaped like a fish
小題3:Most people go to yard sales to________.
A．find valuable paintingsB．look for something special
C．find a bargainD．kill their time
小題4:Which of the following is NOT true about a yard sale?
A．It may not be held when the weather is very cold.
B．It can last for a whole day.
C．It is usually held with a party.
D．It is held outdoors.
小題5:We can infer from the last paragraph that__________.
A．people may find something of great value on a yard sale
B．yard sales only attract those who have a low income
C．things on a yard sale can cost people a lot
D．most people don’t want to go to yard sales.

閱讀下面短文，從每題所給的A、B、C和D項(xiàng)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)，并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。Roy wasn't the only one to receive his call-up（入伍）papers．Stephen Napier's call-up came at the beginning of February and he was pleased to find that he would be going into the Royal Air Force (RAF)．
His father was not so pleased and made his feelings known as he and Stephen were on their daily walk. It was the first step in his plans for Stephen to take over the estate（地產(chǎn)）when the time came, and although Stephen was well aware of this, he could think of no reason not to accompany him.
"Thought you'd forgotten that nonsense. Still, I dare say I could pull a few strings to get you to the Army..."
"No, Father! I have told you I want to learn to fly. What chance would I have to do that in the Army? I'd be better off in the Navy——at least they've got the Fleet Air Arm. But I have been put in the RAF and that's where I want to be, so let's leave it at that." His face went red. Sent to his father's school and then to Cambridge, much to his satisfaction, he had never had to defend his own desires and his father was a hard man to oppose.
The father glared at Stephen, "No, I won't leave it at that. I want to know what other ridiculous ideas are in your head. For a start, what's all this about America?"
"America?"
"Yes. All those books I saw in your room the other day. Brochures about emigration（移民）．"
The big, silvered head lowered, like that of a bull about to charge．"Don't trouble to deny it."
"I won't, Father. Some men at Cambridge have been talking about it. They want people like us here, mathematicians and scientists, for all kinds of research——the sort of research I could do．It would be a worthwhile life for me."
The father responded exactly as his son had known he would．"You've got a worthwhile life here！You've got an estate to run！"
"No, Father. You've got an estate to run. I never asked for it. Why not ask Baden to do this stuff? He perhaps can make a good job of it, but I..."
"If he were here, I might think about this silly idea of yours——only think about it, mind you but..."
小題1:If Father wanted Stephen to take over the estate, the first thing he did would__________．
A．take a walk with Stephen as usual
B．wait till his son graduated from Cambridge
C．persuade Stephen not to go into RAF
D．send Stephen to the Army instead of RAF
小題2:Which statement is NOT true according to the passage?
A．Stephen preferred to go into the Navy rather than the Army.
B．Stephen also received his call-up papers as Roy.
C．The father didn't like Stephen's idea of going to America.
D．Stephen was eventually forced to stay to run the estate．
小題3: After reading this passage, we can infer that__________．
A．Stephen had never had to defend his desires before
B．Baden might be one of Stephen's family members
C．Stephen wanted to fly in RAF and become a pilot in America
D．if somebody took over the estate, Stephen could realize his dream
小題4:What do we learn from the underlined sentence?
A．It looked as if the father was angry when mentioning the brochures.
B．The father was very angry and wanted to beat his son Stephen．
C．Stephen was annoyed when his father referred to the brochures.
D．A big red bull was about to charge at Stephen.
小題5:Which would be the best title for this passage?
A．RAF——a better choice than the Army B．A talk between Father and Son
C．The dreams of a Cambridge student D．Conflict between Father and Son

Flying across the globe, whether on business or for leisure, is usually effortless——you just have to book your ticket, pack your bags and show up at the airport with your passport. You board the plane and several cocktails and movies later, you arrive at your destination, and hopefully, your baggage does too. Here are some tips on how to be a clever traveler.
Easy check-in
Avoid the queue and check yourself in by using the MAS Web Check-In (malaysiaairlines.com) in the comfort of your own home or office. Passengers can now check in online anytime from 24 hours to 90 minutes ahead of the scheduled departure time. This is available for flights departing from all MAS stations ——except Paris, Kunming, Xiamen and Bandar Seri Begawan——to all MAS destinations. You can even select preferred seats online.
Bag hygiene
No, we’re not talking about the cleanliness of your bags! It’s the aviation talk for a bag that doesn’t carry any old baggage tags with barcodes that could confuse the baggage sensor（傳感器）.
If you find yourself arriving in Sydney while your bag lands in Tokyo, it could be because of your old baggage tag. Another reason why bags go missing could be the printing quality of the barcode; bags are misdirected because the sensors can’t read the codes correctly.
Less is more
Most airports around the world now set a weight limit of 32kg per piece of baggage. This will not only help protect the airline workers’ health, but also be easier for you to carry your bags around.
Avoid packing dangerous goods or placing valuables inside your check-in luggage. Ensure that locks are properly secured as a lot of baggage locks are found caught between the conveyor belts（傳送帶）. Smaller and softer bags are usually placed inside a tray at check-in to protect the locks from contact with the conveyor belt.
小題1:According to the passage, airplane passengers ______.
A．can check in without going to the airport
B．have to check in 90 minutes earlier
C．a(chǎn)re required to check in on the MAS web
D．can select their favorite seats when getting aboard
小題2:What’s the meaning of the underlined word “hygiene” in the passage?
A．Disappearance.B．Protection.
C．Check. D．Cleanliness.
小題3:Why does baggage sometimes go missing according to the passage?
a. The bags are too old and dirty.
b. The sensors can’t read the barcodes correctly.
c. The old tag is still on the bag.
d. The bags are too heavy to check.
A．a(chǎn), b B．b, c C．c, d D．b, d
小題4: Which of the following statements is TRUR about check-in baggage?
A．Each piece can weigh 30 kg at the most.
B．Smaller and softer bags should be separated from other ones.
C．Valuable things should be kept inside a tray.
D．Bags containing dangerous things can be caught on the conveyor belts.

What time is it？Most people are pretty accurate in their answer. And if you don’t know for sure, it’s very likely that you can find out. There may be a watch on your wrist; there may be a clock on the wall, desk, or computer screen; or maybe you’re riding in a car that has a clock in the dashboard .
Even if you don’t have a timepiece of some sort nearby, your body keeps its own beat. Humans have an internal clock that regulates (調(diào)節(jié)) the beating of our heart, the peace of our breathing, the discharge (排出) of chemicals within our bloodstream, and many other bodily functions.
Time is something from which we can’t escape. Even if we ignore it, it’s still going by, ticking away, second by second, minute by minute, hour by hour. So the main issue in using your time well is, “who’s in charge？” We can allow time to slip by and let it be our enemy. Or we can take control of it and make it our ally.
By taking control of how you spend your time, you’ll increase your chances of becoming a more successful student. Perhaps more importantly, the better you are at managing the time you devote to your studies, the more time you will have to spend on your outside interests.
The aim of time management is not to schedule every moment so we become slaves of a timetable that governs every waking moment of the day. Instead, the aim is to permit us to make informed choices as to how we use our time. Rather than letting the day go by, largely without our awareness, what we are going to discuss next can make us better able to control time for our own purposes.
小題1:The underlined word “ally” in Para.3 most likely means somebody or something that is____________.
A．your slave and serves youB．your supporter an helps you
C．under your control and obeys youD．under your influence and follows you
小題2:The author intends to tell us that time __________.
A．could be regulated by a timepiece such as a clock or a watch
B．could be managed by the internal clock by human bodies
C．should be well managed for our own interest
D．should be saved for outside interests
小題3:In the next part, the author would most probably discuss with you ________.
A．how to keep up with the timesB．how to make up for lost time
C．how to have a good timeD．how to make good use of time
