Although he died several years ago, I can still remember the days we spent together and what he has taught me about love. I have two apple trees in the garden. Prana loved apples. When he went outside, hed catch an apple and take it into the house to eat later. The apples had been on the ground and were often dirty so I wasnt always happy that Prana had brought them into the house.It was an autumn day in America, but it was very cold. A big snow fell and we had not done anything for its coming. On that special day, Prana went outside and I watched him through the window. I noticed that he was madly digging(挖) holes and bringing the apples to the ground so they could be seen above the snow. I did not know why he was doing this. He seemed to want to do something special.When I called him back, he had his usual one apple in his mouth. About five minutes later, I looked outside. The garden was completely covered with birds. Prana had dug up all those apples for his bird friends to eat. He knew that they wouldnt have stored enough food for the coming winter!1. Prana was _ .A. the writerB. a boyC. a birdD. a dog2.

To these three topics different people may have different views. Some people assume(假设) that wealth is the most important part in their lives for it can bring them happiness. It is true that both wealth and health can bring happiness to people, but they do not always go hand in hand with happiness. To get wealth, some people may become pickpockets(扒手) to steal money or robbers to grab(夺取) others belongings, which will hurt themselves instead of bringing them happiness. On the other hand, it does not mean that a person with a strong body would surely enjoy happiness because of being healthy alone.However, happiness is a feeling of pleasure and contentment(满足). This feeling encourages people to work hard and make success still more successful. It also makes people happier. With this feeling, a person in poor health may get over his illness sooner and better with the help of doctors. As happiness always brings hope to people, Lets develop a healthy outlook and keep a pleasant heart.( ) 4. How do the pickpockets and robbers get wealth?A. They make money by working hard.B.

If so, you probably need help to make the bigger choices in your life, like what to do when youre older. “Brave New Girls”, by American author Jean Gadeberg, will help you make such choices. It says you must be a brave new girl. A brave new girl is one who is confident, healthy and happy. A brave new girl can realize her dreams. To be brave, you need to make a decision for yourself. Other people may tell you what to do, but you should not listen to them. You must only do what you want. If you always wear clothes like your favourite TV star, you must stop doing so. Instead, become your own star and wear the clothes you want. You have to like your body, it says. If you dont, you will not take good care of it and wont stay healthy. The book also says that girls must start becoming more confident. If you are confident, youll succeed in life. A good way to become confident is to realize that you are as clever as boys. In fact you are. Just look at their grades! Only then can you realize your dreams and become who you want to be.( ) 8. What quality should a brave new girl have? A. Confident B. Healthy C. Happy D.

We can learn a lot from good communication in our daily life. Part of the communication is unspoken; We sometimes show our feelings with our eyes, faces, bodies and attitudes. Some qualities can make good communication, including physical appearance, ability to speak, pleasant voice, how to hold the interest of others, and so on.What should we do so that our communication will be effective(有效的)? Here are suggestions. Firstly, you should be yourself. Successful people never change personal character from one situa tion to another. Theyre the same whether theyre having a talk with their close friends or being interviewed for a job. They communicate with their whole being.Secondly, whether youre talking to one person or more, always remember to look at them. Dont break eyes contact while talking. As you enter a room, move your eyes comfortably, then look directly at those in the room and smile. This shows clearly that you are relaxed. Smiling is important. The best kind of smile and eye contact are gentle and comfortable. You should also gather information about other people. If you attend a meeting or an interview, dont immediately start throwing your opinions. Stop for a second. Absorb whats going on there. Whats the mood of the others are they down, up, happy? Do they want to learn from you, or do they show any interest? If you can sense whats happening to others, you will be better able to reach them. So, listen before you talk.The fourth suggestion is that you get your energy up. Before the meeting, collect your thoughts about it. You walk calmly through the doorway. Pay attention to the person you are meeting to find out what he is interested in. Properly collected energy comes across when you sincerely believe something. Always be confident. The audience may disagree with you, but they cant question your belief.Lastly, I would like to remind that you should not be too serious. That is to lighten up. Take a good hard look at yourself. Do you say “I” too often? Do you complain often? If you answered yes to even one of the two questions, you are nervous and need to be more relaxed.How to make our 1 effectiveSuggestionsWhat you should doWhat you shouldnt doBe yourselfAlways be the same and communicate with your whole being.Dont change your character in _2 situations.Use your eyes and smileMake direct eye contact.Present a 3 smile.Dont break eye contact.You shouldnt look in other _4 instead of facing them.Listen 5_ talkingStop for a short time to know the others mood and what is happening to them.Never begin your talk immediately.Get your energy upBe 6 _ and think clearly and carefully before the meeting.Pay attention to the person youre meeting.You mustnt think about yourself after _7 the meeting room.Lighten upTry to be 8 .Dont say “I” too often or make too_9 complain.ConclusionGood communication depends on (取决于) 10 qualities.B) 根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词。Reading is an activity people enjoy a lot in their free time.
