Friends become a child's chosen family. If his social life is going well, he gains confide

nce. If he has trouble connecting, it hurts and can make him feel sad and withdrawn and lonely.

1. Help your child communicate. Naturally outgoing kids have an easier time expressing their interest in other children than shy ones do. But you can help build this skill through practice. Ask your child about his favorite games and toys. Praise him for specifics when he shows interest in other people: "You were so nice to let Roger talk about his little dog. I am proud of you."

2. Keep play short and sweet. Parents should keep early play dates short, so no one gets too fired and everyone has fun. Schedule the next one soon after that, so kids can quickly build on their comfort foundation.

3. Know your child. If your child is bossy, talk with him and agree before hand on which toys will be shared and which ones should be put away because your child just can't seem to share them. If you have a shy child, match him with a younger child so he has a chance to be the leader.

4. Help your child help others. Encourage your child to be a better friend by helping him include others in play. If you see someone being excluded, don't ignore it. This is an opportunity to work on your child's ability to understand others. "Rachel is being left out. That must make her feel very sad. Can you think or a way to include her in the game？"

5. Help your kids help themselves. If your child is the one who's being ignored or treated badly, teach him to speak up.

Which word can best describe a child who is good at connecting？

A．Bossy.

B．Confident.

C．Proud

D．Showy.

I was eleven when we had to move out of the big old house in which I had spent my whole li

fe. Each time I thought of that, I felt very sad. When the final day came, I ran to a corner and sat alone, trying not to let others see my tears. Suddenly I felt a hand patting me on the shoulder. I looked up, and saw my grandpa. "It isn't easy, is it, my grandson？" he said in a very low voice, sitting down beside me. I nodded through my tears, without a word. We sat silently for a long time. Then he said, "Good-by is such a sad word that it seems too cold for us to use. We must try to avoid it."

Then we walked slowly in the garden, hand in hand, to have a last look at each rock, each tree, each flower. We sat for a while by the small pond which was a favorite place of my grandpa's. "What do you see here, Tommy？" asked the old man. I looked at the water, not knowing what to say, and then replied, "I see something soft and beautiful, Grandpa." He pulled me close to him and said, "It isn't the pond or the trees or the flowers that are beautiful. It is the special place in your heart that makes you feel so." After a while, he continued, "I built the pond, and planted the trees and the flowers a long time ago. I started to build this beautiful home the day my only son was born." He stopped. After a long silence, he murmured(低声说), "One day a terrible war came, and my son, like many other people's sons, went away to fight. Five months later, a telegram came, telling us that my son had passed away...' he couldn't finish his sentence. I saw tears trickle from his eyes. "That afternoon I picked some roses from this place and put them in front of son's portrait (肖像), and said goodbye to him. You know who he was, Tommy？"

"My father？" I asked in a whisper, hoping my grandpa would say no. But he said, "That's rights my dear. ' Ann in arm, we cried. Then the old man held me ups and said softly, "My dear Tom, we axe going to move, but don't say good-bye to our old house, never."

Tom and his grandpa______ the old house.

A．were too sorry to leave

B．were both unwilling to say goodbye to

C．felt sorry when they were in

D．didn't know that they had to leave

Everyone has got two personalities-the one that is shown to the world and the other that i

s secret and real. You don't show your secret personality when you're awake. Because you can control yourself. But when you're asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night, of course, people often change their position. The important position is the one you go to sleep in.

If you go to sleep on your back, you're a very open person. You usually believe people and you accept new things or new ideas easily. You don't like to make people sad, so you never express your real feeling. You're quite shy.

If you sleep on your stomach, you are a rather secretive person. You worry a lot and you always easily become sad. You usually live for today not tomorrow. This means that you enjoy having a good time.

If you sleep curled up, you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself. You're shy and don't like meeting people. You prefer to be on your own. You're easily hurt.

If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well-balanced personality. You know your strengths and weaknesses. You're usually careful. You don't often get sad. You always say what you think even if it makes other people unhappy.

When do you show your secret personality？

A．When you are awake.

B．When you fall into deep sleep.

C．The moment you go to sleep.

D．when you lie in bed.

根据材料请回答 31～35

Here's a familiar version of the boy-meets-girl situation.A young man has at last plucked up courage to invite.a young lady to dinner.She has accepted his invitation.He is determined to take her to the best restaurant in town, even if it means that he will be short of money during the month to come.When they get to the restaurant, he finds that the girl is on a diet.She mustn't eat this and that.Oh, but of course, she.doesn't want to spoil his enjoyment, So she let him eat as much fattening food as he wants: it's the surest way to an early grave.They spend a truly memorable evening together and never see each other again.

How miserable dieters are! You can always recognize them from the sad expression on their faces.They spend most of their time consulting calorie charts, gazing at themselves in mirrors and leaping on to weighing-machines in the bathroom.They spend a lifetime fighting a losing battle against spreading hips, protruding tummies and double chins.Some wage (作战，实行)an all-out war on FAT.Mere dieting is not enough.They exhaust themselves doing exercises, sweating in sauna" baths (桑拿浴), being massaged (按摩) by weird(不可思议的，离奇的) machines.Don't think it's only the middle-aged who go in for these fads(一时流行的风尚).Many of these bright young people are suffering from chron- ic malnutrition: they are tiring on nothing but air, water and the goodwill of God.Dieters starve themselves of their own free will; so why are they so miserable？ Well, for one thing, they're always hungry.You can't be hungry and happy at the same time.All the horrible concoctions(调制品，混合物) they eat instead' of food leave them permanently dis-satisfied.And, Of course, they're always miserable because they feel so guilty.Hunger just proves too much for them and in the end they lash out and eat five huge cream cakes at a sitting.And who can blame them？ At least three times a day they are exposed to tempta-tion.What a torture it is always watching others having piles of mouth-watering food

white; you only have a glass of water! What' s all this self-inflicted (自我打击的) torture (催残) for？ Saintly people deprive themselves of food to attain a state of grace.Unsaintly people do so to attain a state of misery.It will be a great day when all the dieters in the world abandon their slimming courses; when they hold out their plates and demand second helpings!

We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes

are about people. "Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen？ .... When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it, as a friend？ Or did he envy my luck？" When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, it' s too late.

Why do we go wrong about our friends or our enemies？ Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we don' t really listen closely we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, "You' re a lucky dog." That' s being friendly. But "lucky dog？" There' s a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn' t see it himself. But bringing in the "dog" puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that he doesn' t think you deserve your luck.

"Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for is another noise that says one thing and means another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole. But is he？ Wrapped up in this phrase is the thought that your problem isn' t important. It' s telling you to think of all the starving people in the world when you haven't got a date for Saturday night.

How can you tell the real meaning behind someone' s words？ One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks？ Does what he says agree with the tone of voice？ His posture？ The look in his eyes？ Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake.

This passage is mainly about ______.

A．how to interpret what people say

B．what to do when. you listen to others talking

C．how to avoid mistakes when you communicate with people

D．why we go wrong with people sometimes

Nobody’s Watching Me

I am a foot taller than Napoleon and twice the weight of Twiggy; on my only visit to a beautician, the woman said she found my face a challenge. Yet despite these social disadvantages I feel cheerful, happy, confident and secure.

I work for a daily newspaper and so get to a lot of places I would otherwise never see. This year I went to Ascot to write about the people there. I saw something there that made me realize the stupidity of trying to conform, of trying to be better than anyone else. There was a small, plump woman, all dressed up—huge hat, dress with pink butterflies, long white gloves. She also had a shooting stick. But because she was so plump, when she sat on the stick it went deep into the ground and she couldn't pull it out. She tugged and tugged, tears of rage in her eyes. When the final tug brought it out, she crashed with it to the ground."

I saw her walk away. Her day had been ruined. She had made a fool of herself in public--she had impressed nobody. In her own sad, red eyes she was a failure.

I remember well when I was like that, in the days before I learned that nobody really cared what you do . . .

I remember the pain of my first dance, something that is always meant to be a wonderful occasion for a girl... There was a fashion then for diamante (人造钻石) ear-rings, and I wore them so often practicing for the big night that I got two great sores on my ears and had to put sticking-plaster on them. Perhaps it was this that made nobody want to dance with me. Whatever it was, there I sat for four hours and 43 minutes. When I came home, I told my parents that I had a marvelous time and that my feet were sore from dancing. They were pleased at my success and they went to bed happily, but I went to my room and tore the bits of sticking-plaster off my ears and felt forlorn and disconsolate.

‘The beautician found the writer's face a challenge’, which means _________.

A．she thought it was a challenge to have such a face repaired

B．she thought it was a challenge to deal with such a face

C．the writer's face challenged the beautician's

D．it was a challenge to find the writer's face
