it isnt just our own skills or strengths that help us survive and bounce back from difficult times; its also making the choice to reach out to others. its easy for most of us to give. it feels life affirming to help others, to give of ourselves. but asking for help and being willing to receive help from others is much harder. when we take that riskthe risk that the answer might be rejection, or unwillingness to help-we are not being weak. we are being vulnerable(易受伤害的), which is perhaps our greatest untapped strength.life is never “stress-free”; we all have those times that seem particularly overwhelming, where we get so tired that the word “tired” just doesnt do it justice anymore. these are the times when it seems hardest to reach out, and these are the times when we need to do it the most.when we ask for help:we are choosing to trust the person we ask for help; this shows our respect for him/her.we are using our resources wisely. it is a wise person that chooses to ask for help before a problem is out of control.we are helping to break down this idea of asking for help as weakness.28. what can we learn from paragraph 1?a .phrases can be powerful when used correctly. b. we should use powerful phrases more often.c. people dont need as much help as before. d. people dont tend to ask for help today.29. what does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 mean? a. life is a matter of choice. b. asking for help is very important.c. its actually very easy to ask for help. d. we need a lot of skills to survive hard times.30. which of the following statements would the author agree with?a. showing our weakness is our strength. b. offering help is harder than asking for help.c. people are usually willing to offer help. d. we should be ashamed of being vulnerable.31. what does the author mainly want to show in the text?a. asking for help when necessary doesnt mean weakness.b. todays people love depending on themselves.c. we should do our best to help others in need. d. its not a bad idea to show our weakness. dif you and i met at a party, you would probably ask me what i do for a living, what town i live in the kind of questions that would help you to build a picture of who i am. i might ask the same of you, but i probably wouldnt be listening. its more likely id be looking at the label on your jeans, glancing at your shoes, and eyeing up your mobile phone. these are the things that really tell me who you are. in fact, i sincerely hope you would notice the same things about me. well, thats the way it was a year ago.i began to behave like this at a very early age. i remember the first day of junior school, standing alone in the playground, desperately wanting to make friends. i headed straight for what seemed to be the most promising group of boys. they were talking to girls, trading football cards, eating green sweets all the things i wanted to do. as i attempted to talk with them, one boy asked me, “do you support manchester united football club?” another asked, “are you into michael jackson?” i answered yes to them all, even though the truthful answer was no.things seemed to be going well until one of the boys caught sight of my trainers. id never thought too much about them before. they were just plain blue sports shoes that mum had bought, for playing in the back garden. at once, the group laughed very loudly, “where did you get those from? a charitable organization?”looking at the boys in bewilderment (疑惑), i noticed for the first time that they all had similar shapes on the sides of their trainers, like the ones on footballers boots on television. it wasnt just their shoes: crocodiles, eagles and tigers sat on the breasts of their t-shirts, and every single boy seemed to have the same school bag, a blue plastic bag with a leaping puma in silver on the side. i walked away quietly, depressed. from that day on, i was determined to be like them, if not more so.32. what was the author like one year ago? a. he was very interested in figure paintings. b. he used to judge others by their appearances.c. he was crazy about holding different parties.d. he had some difficulty communicating with others.33. how did the author react when asked about his favorite football team?a. he replied proudly. b. he kept silent. c. he told a lie. d. he refused to answer.34. why did the group suddenly burst out laughing?a. because they looked down upon the author. b. because they were attracted by the author.c. because they welcomed the author warmly. d. because they played a joke on the author.35. after the first day of junior school, the author began to _.a. be addicted to television b. concern himself with animalsc. follow famous football players d. spend more money on branded goods第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。how to relax your mindnowadays，people everywhere seem to find less and less time available to them, and more and more things to achieve. its quite common to find people running around like headless chickens meeting deadlines that they create. one doesnt have to live this way, in stress and struggle. 36 breathe i cant stress enough the importance of learning how to breathe properly, and not only when youre stressed, but at all times that you can. learning how to breathe properly at all times is essential. you should try to deepen and lengthen your breath to lower the stress level and promote relaxation. 37 relax we often think that just going to the gym and working out is the right way to go to relax ourselves. 38 a good hard workout is good from time to time, but you are still running at full steam ahead and not giving yourself time to relax. so lighting some fragrant candles, taking a slow hot bath or a shower, or meditating for even 10 minutes will do wonders to help you relax your mind and get out of the stress zone. let it all out 39 so calling or meeting up with a person who can listen and empathize with us, is often a great way to relax. its important that we dont go into victim mode and get too negative. when we let out our frustrations, it should be done in a positive manner, and with lightheartedness, even joking about the stress were under. 40 probably one of the most difficult skills at first to master, but in the end one of the most rewarding to learn in our fast-paced society is the attitude of gratitude. we can do some gratitude list making right on the spot to get out of our heads and away from all that we wished we had but dont, and to be thankful for all that we do have. i swear learning how to do this will relax you in a way that will change your life for the better. hopefully this article helped you to find an answer to your question about how to relax your mind from stress. try these techniques and let us know, what works best for you. a. be thankful to your friends. b. be grateful for what you have. c. but this pace doesnt do much for our mind or stress levels. d. you can either lie down on the floor or sit comfortably to relax yourself. e. in this article we will present a few tips on how to relax your mind from stress. f. in addition, deeper breathes help to get rid of harmful substances in your lungs. g. sometimes we need to just let out our frustrations and worries to a close friend. 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节, 满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从3655各题所给的四个选项（a、b、c和d）中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。like many families in sanyati, a small countryside town in western zimbabwe（津巴布韦）, johnsons family does not have a television. one day after school, johnson arrived home and 41._ something unusual in the house. at first, he 42._ his father had bought a television, but when his mother said it was a computer, he was 43._.its not that johnson didnt like the 44._; he just didnt know how to use it. johnson and his father didnt even know how to turn it on. nobody in our neighborhood knew how to 45._ a computer, johnson said.but things 46._ when nikon, a young family friend, came from a big city to visit. nikon knew all about computers. “at first, i was always 47._ the wrong button,” johnson recalled. “but i kept on going 48._i was eager to learn.” after three weeks, johnson had mastered some computer 49._, such as opening and closing files.johnson kept on practicing after nikon 50._. his speed slowly improved. soon, johnson felt 51._ with the computer. meanwhile, johnsons friends 52._ what had happened to him. he no longer played soccer after school like he used to. johnsons friends 53._. were johnsons parents 54._him from playing with them?
