for a few lessons in self-confidence. you can build your confidence by following some suggestions from doctors and psychologists. make a decision not to hold back in conversations. what you have to say is just as important as what other people say. and dont turn down party invitations just because of your shyness. prepare for yourself for being with others in groups. make a list of the good qualities you have. then make a list of ideas, experiences, and skills you would like to share with other people . i think about what you would like to say in advance. then say it. if you start feeling self-conscious in a group, take a deep breath and focus your attention on other people, remember, you are not alone. other people are concerned about the impression they are making, too. no one ever gets over being shy completely, but most people do learn to live with their shyness. even entertainers admit that they often feel shy. they work at fighting their shy feelings so that they can face the cameras and the public. just making the effort to control shyness can have many rewards. but perhaps the best reason to fight shyness is to give other people a chance to know about you.41. where would this article probably appear?a. in a popular magazine b. on the top-line position of a newspaperc. in a science textbook d. in an encyclopedia (百科全书)42. the main purpose of the article is to _.a. explain how shyness developed b .recommend ways of dealing with shynessc. persuade readers that shyness is natural d. prove that shyness can be overcome43. which of these can you conclude from reading the article?a. shy people never have any funb. entertainers choose their work to fight shynessc. the attempt to overcome shyness is always frustrating d. the attempt to overcome shyness is always rewarding44. who probably gives the suggestion for fighting shyness? a. the author of the article b. shy men and womenc. doctors and psychologists d. popular entertainers bto what degree can a computer achieve intelligence？the answer to this question may lie in a newly-developed us computer program called smarter child and the internet.if you ran into smarter child online, you would be surprised at this kids huge memory. it can recite many facts. for example, smarter child knows every baseball player in every team this season.he knows every word in the dictionary and the weather in every major city areas across the us. however, if you ask smarter child other questions, you get strange answers. a question about smarter childs age returns, “one year, 11 days, 16 hours, 7 minutes, and 47 seconds!” asking where he lives gets, “in a clean room in a high-tech building in california.”smarter child uses the vast information on the world wide web as his memory bank. to answer questions about spelling, for instance, smarter child goes to american heritage dictionary online. for the weather, he visits .some scientists believe that by joining the many systems of the internet, an artificial(人工的) being with the combined knowledge of, say, albert einstein, richard nixon and britney spears could be born. however, if smarter child wants to think and learn on his own like the boy-computer david in the movie a. i. artificial intelligence, he must solve two problems.the first is that computers find it difficult to read web pages because the files（文件） are sorted in different ways. thats why programmers need to tell smarter child where to look for the weather. it would be a much more difficult task to let him find it himself.another problem is that while smarter child can process（处理）information more exactly and faster than any human, he lacks common sensea basic grounding of knowledge that is obvious to any young child.45. from the text we can infer that is a website .a. which is specially designed to help smarter childb. where we people can find smarter childc. where weather forecasts are maded. which is about artificial intelligence46. it is probably most difficult for smarter child to .a. tell us how to spell a difficult wordb. tell us how the american government is runc. provide us with a famous poem by shakespeared. learn the ability to tell right behaviors from wrong ones.47. which of the following is true according to the text?a. smart child has his own memory bank big enough for all kinds of information.b. a.i. artificial intelligence is probably the name of a film about a boy-computer.c. smart child can recognize different files and find information needed on his own.d. we have similar product now which has the knowledge of einstein, nixon and spears.48. which of the following is the best title for the passage?a. a new web child b. smarter childc. the future of internet d. intelligence development cnothing can destroy a vacation quicker than losing your money or credit cards. a few simple steps before you head out of the door can help protect your cash, card and personal information while youre traveling.paul stephens, a policy analyst san diego, notes that people spend a lot of time planning their trips, from buying guidebooks to finding just the right beach outfits（装备）.“but their eyes glaze（呆滞） over when the subject of keeping money safe comes up,” he said.“why not take a few minutes to do something that could probably save your vacation?” stephens asked“in most cases, they can go on your to-do list with buy travel bags and everything else,” he added.the top recommendation is to clean your wallet. remove unnecessary credit cards and any other unneeded documents that could compromise（危及.的安全）your identity(身份) if lost or stolen while youre on vocation.then make a photocopy of the cards youve decided to take along and keep it in a secure location with you（not in your wallet）or leave it with a trusted relative or friend back home. then you will know who you need to contact and how to reach it if your wallet is missing.“travelers should never leave their wallets or any identifying documents in their hotel room when theyre not there,” he said.” choose a hotel with a safe to keep your valuable things in. or keep your wallet and documents with you at all times. ”49according to passage, _can destroy ones vacation the most quickly.abeing lost on vacation blosing money or credit cardscliving in a bad hotel. dlosing contact with family50what does the underlined word stand for?athe people who are going traveling.bthe outfits that are prepare4d for traveling.cthe suggestions on what to buy when traveling.dthe steps to avoid losing money or credit cards.51what should people do with their wallet before they go on vacation?atake it with them all the time. bput it in a safe place at the hotelcremove unnecessary cards and documents. dleave it with family or friend.52what is the topic of the passage?ahow to prepare for travel.bhow to be happy during your vacation.chow to keep cash and cards safe on vacation.dhow to protect your luggage on vacation53according to the passage, we know _.apeople dont always know how to protect their money or credit cardsbpeople should take a lot of money with them while travelingc. people can leave their identifying documents in rooms, if the hotel is expensivedpeople can spend a few minutes preparing the luggage for travellingdwhile many modern forms of communication like phone calls, e-mail, and letters, are extremely convenient. in my opinion, nothing beats speaking to another person face to face.the first and most obvious advantage that a face communication has over a letter and e-mail is that there is the ability to interactively(相互作用地)converse. if the sender of a letter or an email does not write clearly, then much time must be spent to clear up the misunderstanding. in a face-to-face conversation, misunderstandings are easily dealt with because of the interactive nature of it.i would still argue that the face-to-face conversation is better because you can see the other person. not all communication is verbal(口头的); the meaning of much of what we say depends on our body language and the tone of voice. joking and irony are particularly difficult to express and enjoy without seeing the expression on someones face, or watching the movements of their body.finally, if the goal of communication is to maintain or deepen the relationship(关系)with someone, the face-to-face communication offers the choice of communication by touch even if we could communicate by the video. trust and respect between business partners can be established with a firm handshake. no amount of body language can convey the excitement of a high five between friends, and no number of words can communicate the comforting embrace of a loved one. touch is the first basic method of our human relationships, before spoken language, and it is only available when people communicate face to face.54. which of the following is the best title for the passage? a. how to communicate more effectively(有效率地)b. the importance of using body language in communicationc. face-to-face communication, the best way of communicatingd. comparison(比较)of different communication forms 55. which of the following is not mentioned in the passage?a. a letter or e-mail is always written unclearly.b. business partners can show trust through a firm handshake.c. during a conversation, body language is also important.d. the face-to-face conversation is a way of communication.56. which of the following can communicate the feeling a loved one perfectly?a. letter b. e-mail c. phone d. face to face communication57. the authors attitude towards forms of communication is .a. modern forms of communication like phone calls and e-mail are extremely convenient.b. traditional ways of communication are out of date and should fall into disuse.c. face-to-face communication can only be used among strangers.d.face-to-face communication has advantages over the other ways of communication. edown-to-earth means being honest, open, and easy to deal with. it is a pleasure to find someone who is down-to-earth. a person who is down-to-earth is easy to talk to. he or she accepts others as equals. a down-to-earth person may be an important member of society, of course, but they do not let their importance go to their heads, and they do not consider themselves to be better than others who are less important. someone who is filled with self-importance and pride, often without cause, is said to have his nose in the air. there is no way a person with his nose in the air can be down-to-earth.americans use another expression that is similar in some way to down-to-earth. the expression is both feet on the ground. someone with both feet on the ground is a person with a good understanding of reality. he has what is called common sense. he may have dreams but he does not allow them to block his knowledge of what is real. the opposite kind of person is one who has his head in the clouds. a man with his head in the clouds is a dreamer whose mind is not in the world. sometimes such a dreamer can be brought back to reality; sharp words from the teacher, for example, can usually get a daydreaming student to put both feet back on the ground.the person who is down-to-earth usually has both feet on the ground. but the opposite is not always true. someone with both feet on the ground may not be as open and easy to deal
