Bahama Beach Club BWhen I was six, Dad brought home a dog one day, who was called “Brownie”, my brothers and I all loved Brownie and did different things with her.

We always felt better when she was around.One days, as I was getting her food, she chewed up(咬破) one of Dads shoes, which had to be thrown away in the end. I knew Dad would be mad and I had to let her know what she did was Wrong. When I looked at her and said, “Bad girl.” She looked down at the ground and then went and hid. I saw a tear in her eyes. Brownie turned out to be more than just our family pet. She went everywhere with us. People would stop and ask if they could pet her. Of course shed let anyone pet her. She was just the most lovable dog. There were many dines when wed be out walking and a small child would come over and pull on her hair. She never barked (吠) or tried to get away. Funny thing is she would smile. This frightened people because they thought she was showing her teeth. Far from the truth, she loved everyone.

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.

Popular entertainers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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。A good study environment is as important as the studying itself. Here are a few suggestions that will help you in making a good study environment for yourself. Take care of these, and you will find that you are doing better by the day. 71 Pick a suitably quiet place, not necessarily where you can hear a pin drop, but not where you have people screaming all around you, either. At the same time, if too much quietness makes you feel lonely, then you may try playing some soft music in the background. 72 Think of all the related materials that you may require, and gather them beforehand. Its OK if you end up not using a few of the books. Get a fruit or some snacks that will keep you comfortably full, without being too heavy on your tummy (胃).Lighting is very important.You must have a reasonable amount of lighting that will let you read properly, without putting stress on your eyes, or making them burn and water after a while. 73 And at night, make sure that you have a light that shines brightly on the book that you are reading.Know your limits.Dont compare yourself with your friend. Seriously, this is not a competition to see who studies more in a day. You are you, and you are not your friend. 74 Stop asking your friend constantly how much he has finished, or telling him how much you have done. Study smartly instead of studying hard. 75 Read important points, and highlight important sentences. Use techniques like mind mapping, logical linking of points or short forms to remember long lists. This will increase the speed of your studying, and help you in getting more done in less time.A. Select a quiet place.B. The effect will be the same.C. He has his limits, and you have yours.D. Get all your stuff（东西）together before you start.E. Get a nice and comfortable chair for yourself.F. Try picking a place by the window during the daytime. G. Reading through the entire text like its a novel is pointless.第二卷（共55分）第四部分：完成句子（共两节，满分20分。）第一节：单词拼写(用单词的恰当形式填空，每空0.5分，共10分。)76John Snow was a famous doctor in London - so _,（熟练的）indeed, that he _ (护理/照顾）Queen Victoria as her personal .77.
