Nearly everyone is shy in some ways. If shyness is making you uncomfortable, it may be time 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 don’t 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. 61. Where would this article probably appear? A. In a popular magazine

A new plan for getting children to and from school is being started by a local government in Eastern England. This could end the worries of many parents fearful for their children’s safety on the roads.

Until now the local government have only been prepared to provide bus services for children living more than three miles from their school, or sometimes less if special reasons existed. Now it has been decided that if a group of parents ask for help in organizing transport they will be prepared to go ahead, as long as the arrangement will not lose money and children taking part will be attending their nearest school. The new plan is to be fired out this term for children living at Milton who attend Impington School. The children live just within the three-mile limit and the local government said in the past that they would not undertake to provide free transport to the school. But now they have agreed to offer a sum of money for a bus service from Milton to Impington and back, a plan which has the support of the school’s headmaster. Between 50 and 60 parents have said they would like their children to take part. Final calculations have still to be carried out, but a government official has said the cost to parents should be less than ￡20 a term. They have been able to arrange the service at a low cost because there is already an agreement with the bus company for a bus to take children who live further away to Impington. The same bus

would now just make one more journey to pick up the Milton children. The official said they would get in touch with other groups of parents who in the past had asked if transport could be provided for their children, to see if they would like to take part in the new plan.

65. What is the aim of the plan?

A. To prevent the students’ road accidents B. To relieve the traffic pressure

C. To save time for the parents and students D. To help the parents save money

66. How can the local government arrange the new bus service at a low cost? A. By letting the bus run in the morning only B. By limiting the number of the students C. By getting the support from the headmaster D. By linking the new bus service with the existing one 67. Which of the following is possible if the plan is carried out? A. The bus company will make much more money B. The children can choose whatever school they like C. The parents can get rid of their worries

D. The students in Impington School can have free bus rides 68. This passage is most probably _____ A. a personal letter B. an advertisement C. a headmaster’s report D. a newspaper article

Every artist knows in his heart that he is saying something to the public. Not only does he want to say it well, but he wants it to be something that has not been said before. He hopes that the public will listen and understand ----he wants to teach them, and he wants them to learn from him.

What visional artists like painters want to teach is easy to make out but difficult to

explain, because painters translate their experience into shapes and colors, not words. They seem to feel that a certain choice of shapes and colors, out of the countless billions possible, is very interesting for them and worth showing to us. Without their work we should never have notice these particular shapes and colors, or have felt the delight which they brought to the artists.

Most artists take their shapes and colors from the world of nature and from human bodies in movement and at rest; their choices show that these aspects(方面)of the world are worth looking at, that they contain beautiful sights. Modern artists might say that they only choose subjects that provide an interesting pattern, that there is nothing more in it. Yet even they do not choose totally without thinking about the character of their subjects.

If one painter chooses to paint a decaying(溃烂的) leg and another a lake in moonlight, each of them is directing our attention to a certain aspect of the world . Each painter is telling us something; showing us something, emphasizing something----- all of which means that, consciously or unconsciously, he is trying to teach us.

69. It is hard to explain what a painter is saying because _______. A. most painters do not express themselves well B. a painter uses unusual words and phrases C. a painter use shapes and colors instead of words D. many painters do not say anything

70. Modern artists might say their choice of subjects ______.

A. carries a message to the public B. only provides interesting patterns C. has no pattern or form D. teaches the public important truths 71. The writer says that modern art contains______

A. nothing but meaningless patterns B. uninteresting aspects of the world C. subjects chosen partly for their meaning D. completely meaningless subjects 72. Which of the following is implied but NOT directly stated in the passage? A. A painting is more easily understood than a song B. Art is only the arranging of shapes and colors

C. Every artist tries to say something to the public

D. One must look beyond shapes and colors to find out what an artist is saying

To find how the name Canada came about we must go back to the 16th century. At that time, the French dreamed of disclosing and controlling more land, of expanding(扩展)trade beyond(超出) their borders and of spreading their faith(信仰) across the world .In 1535, Francois I ,King of France, ordered a navigator (航海家) named Jacques Cartier to explore(探险) the New World and search for a passage to India.

Cartier first arrived at the Gulf of the St. Lawrence, which he wanted to explore. He did not know what to expect but he hoped that this Gulf was just an arm of the ocean between two islands. If it was, he would soon be on his way to the Far East. So he sailed upstream along the St. Lawrence River. However, instead or reaching Asia he arrived at Quebec or Stadacona, as the Indians called it. It was at this point that the term “Canada” entered the country’s history. Apparently the word “Canada” came from an Indian work “Kanata”, which means community or village. Cartier first used it when he referred to Stadacona or Quebec. What a huge “village” Canada is! 76. In the early sixteenth century, the King of France ordered Cartier to ______ A. find the new world B. build an entirely new country C. go and visit the American Indians

D. get more information about America and find a way to Asia 77. Having reached the Gulf of St. Lawrence Cartier thought _____ A. he had already got to India

B. it was a water way to the New World C. it was a water passage to the East D. he had sailed into the Atlantic

78. In the early sixteenth century, Quebec was only ____. A. an Indian village

B. a little town in southern Canada

C. a village at the entrance to the Gulf of St. Lawrence D. the place which we call Canada now

79. Pick out the right statements from the following _____ A. Quebec was a village and Stadacona was another B. Cartier mistook Quebec for Stadacona C. Stadacona was a village in Quebec

D. Stadacona was what the Indians called Quebec then 80.“Canada” was first used to refer to _____ A. a small town in Stadacona B. the place called Quebec C. a long water passage

D. a huge village including Quebec and Stadacona

Computers in China

According to a recent investigation, with the development of economics and technology, about 30% of the city families have computers. Besides, many village people are interested in computers.

About 70% of the parents bought computers for their children to study, and some for their own work. Some bought them just because other children have computers, and even some of them bought them for entertainment. The fact how middle school students use the computers really surprises us. Only about 60% of them use computers to chat with other people. Even worse, about 65% play games and 70% watch vcds or listen to music using their computers. In my opinion, we should make better use of our best invention---computers.
