According to Presence, a new book by Harvard Business School professor Amy Cuddy, people assess you on two main criteria when they first meet you: 1. Can I trust this person? 2. Can I respect this person? Your level of trustworthiness, or warmth, is the most important factor in how people initially admire you, Cuddy saysyet many mistakenly believe that the second factor,characterised as competence, is more important.“From an evolutionary aspect,”Cuddy writes,“it is more important to our survival to know whether a person deserves our trust.”While displaying competence is certainly beneficial, particularly in a work setting, Cuddy warns that focusing on winning peoples respect, while failing to win their trust, can backfirea common problem for young professionals attempting to make a good impression early on in their careers. “If someone youre trying to influence doesnt trust you, youre not going to get very far”, Cuddy says, “A warm, trustworthy person who is also strong elicits(博得) admiration, but only after youve established trust does your strength become a gift rather than a threat.”In Cuddys book she also explains some of the science that can help you spot a liar. When a person is lying there is likely to be differences between what they are saying and what they are doing, she suggests. “Lying is hard work,” she writes, “Were telling one story while suppressing another, and most of us are experiencing psychological guilt about doing this, which were also trying suppress. We just dont have the brainpower to manage it all without letting something gowithout leaking.” “Its about how well or poorly our multiple channels of communicationsfacial expressions, posture, movement, vocal qualities, speechco-operate,”she adds. “When were consciously looking for signs of cheat or truth, we pay too much attention to words and not enough to the external body language,” the professor adds. “Truth reveals itself more clearly through actions than it does through our words.1.According to Amy Cuddy, which is most significant in putting across a good impression?A. Level of knowledge. B. Level of reliability.C. Level of competence. D. Level of flexibility.2.What is the meaning of the underlined word “backfire” in the passage?A. Cause something unpleasant to happen.B. Add more fuel to make a bigger fire.C. Have an unexpected and undesired effect.D. Walk backwards and make a fire.3.Which of the following is NOT true of Professor Cuddys concepts?A. Trust is more important than respect to win a good impression in meeting people for the first time.B. Young people tend to win peoples respect instead of winning peoples trust early in their careers.C. How far away a person goes depends on whether he or she establishes trust among people around.D. Liars are unlikely to be identified in that their words match their actions well.4. What can be learned according to the passage?A. Some people tend to think displaying competence to gain respect makes a good impression.B. A liar always experiences a feeling of guilt when a lie is leaked.C. When multiple channels of communication co-operate poorly, a liar can hardly be spotted.D. Words and actions are equally significant in deciding whether a person is trustworthy.B Sunday, 31 August Weve been in China for a month now. Dad, Mom, Harry and I moved to Tianjin on 25 August. Were not very far from Beijing. Two days ago, we celebrated my 16th birthday. It was great celebrating in China; the only thing that was strange was the cake-here theyre not as sweet as the ones in New York. On Monday school startsI wonder what it will be like. Monday, 1 September On my first day I was looking around for a locker to put my books in. However, here all the students keep all of their books at their desks-we stay in the same classroom because apparently we dont have to go from class to class-teachers come to us! Today we selected teacher assistants for each subject. Their duties are to collect homework, make announcements, and do other stuff for the teacher and the students. Its kind of a big deal here! Since I am from the US, I was asked to be the English assistant. I felt so proud but quite nervous at the same time because I wasnt sure what I had to do, but I accepted the job anyway. Friday, 3 October Boy, what a week! Now we have nine classes every day, including the morning class, a combination of our American schools “Homeroom” and “Study Hall”. I think Chinese students work too much! I have to do my homework when I get back home. I dont even have time to watch TV or surf the Internet like before. I sometimes miss New York and my school because we didnt have to study so much. We had more time to hang out with our classmates and neighbors; here, besides their usual classes, students are involved in weekend classes in subjects such as English, Chinese and math.I get a lot of attention, being from another country. Everyone wants to practice English with me! A really cute girl even asked me for my phone number on my second day and sent me a text message! Im making a lot more friends now. I just need a lot of help to improve my Chinese. Some students want to do a language exchange program with me. Nice!5. The passage mentions all the following points EXCEPT .A. physics study B. teacher assistantsC. free time activities D. language exchange program6. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT the teacher assistants duty?A. Collecting homework. B. Making announcements.C. helping teachers with small errands（差事） D. Teaching classmates.7. Where is this passage most probably from?A. A story book. B. A guide book. C. A diary. D. A magazine.8. The passage is best described by .A. culture shock. B. multi-culture. C. unique culture. D. culture backgroundC You make decisions, year after year, never lasting for more than a few days ending up lost and in the same place you started. Allow me to suggest some tips that may help you stick to your decisions creating long lasting positive change in your life.Telling other people about your plan can help in many ways. First, it is always easier to stick to a decision when you have other people supporting you. Your friends are less likely to tempt you with whatever it is you are trying to control if they know that you made a decision about it. Telling other people about your decision is also helpful in that it keeps us to the pressure on you to try and stick to you plan of action.Choose a measurable and specific decision. Instead of deciding to “look better” or “have a better relationship with so and so”, choose a more definable decision. Deciding to “eat a vegetable every day” or “go out for coffee once a week with John” is much easier to track and assess than a general decision to “be a better person”.Build a reward system. Connected to the last tip of choosing a measurable and specific decision is that when you do accomplish this specific behavior you decided to do, give yourself small rewards along the process. For example, for every week of healthy eating treat yourself with something special.Creative visual aids. A colleague of mine decided one year for his New Years decision to be more frugal. He decided to try and save money by lowering his monthly bills. So he posted a copy of his highest electric bill by his heater so that every time he wanted to raise the temperature he would see the high electric bill reminding him to be more cautious about his energy consumption.9Many peoples decisions cant become reality because _.A.they dont take them seriously at the beginningB.they make them but cant stick to them to the endC.they meet much difficulty in the processD.they lack support from their families10Why does the writer advise telling your plan to other people?A.Because they will offer you support and pressure.B.Because they may reward you along the process.C.Because they will temp you when you want something.D.Because you will need someone to offer some visual aids.11Which of the following is a specific decision?A.To look better.B.To behave better.C.To be an honest person.D.To go out for dinner with a friend once a week.12The underlined word “frugal” probably means _.A.careful with money B.careless with moneyC.cautious about safety D.generous with moneyD There have always been a lot of commonly believed but false ideas about being fat and doing exercise. Some people believe that they cant help putting on weight as they get older, while others hold that if they stop exercising, their muscles will turn into fat. Here are some more myths: Ill never lose weight - I come from a fat family Wrong! While we cant change the body type we are born with, we cant blame our genes for making us fat. Theres plenty of evidence that fatness runs in families, and the main reason is that they share the same habits of eating too much and exercise too little. I am fat because I burn calories slowly Wrong! Fatness is not caused by a slow metabolism . If fact, although fat people consume more energy that slim people, they also fail to realize how much they eat! Keeping a diary can help you work out your daily food intake more accurately. Exercise is boring Wrong! Anything will become boring if you do it repetitively. The key is to develop a balanced and varied program thats fun as well as progressive. If you enjoy a Sunday walk, take a different route. If you do Yoga, try a tai chi class. If you like swimming, set yourself a distance or time challenge. No pain, no gain Wrong! Exercise is not meant to hurt. Indeed, pain is your body telling you somethings wrong, and continuing to exercise could lead to serious injury. You may experience mild discomfort as you begin to exercise regularly, but this your body adapting to the positive changes in your lifestyle and the aches should disappear ly quickly. If you dont, rest and seek medical advice.9What does the author think about being fat?A.It is the family genes that make people fat.B.People are fat because they consume too little energy.C.A diary of exercise can prevent people from becoming fat.D.It is the consequence of peoples unbalanced lifestyle.10According to the author, how can we make exercise more interesting?A.By taking varied exercise.

He was very hardworking, and the farm always prospered(蒸蒸日上) under his care. But he knew that his three sons did not like the farm work, and were eager to reach the goal at a single leap. When the farmer felt that his time had come to die, he called the three sons to him and said, “My sons, there is a pot of gold hidden in the olive orchard. Dig for it, if you wish it.” After the farmer was dead, the sons went to work to find the pot of gold.” Since they did not know where the hiding-place was, they agreed to begin in a line, at one end of the orchard, and to dig until one of them should find the money. They dug until they had turned up the soil from one end of the orchard to the other, round the tree-roots and between them. But no pot of gold was to be found. It seemed as if someone must have stolen it, or as if the farmer had been wandering in his wits. The three sons were bitterly disappointed to have all their work for nothing. The next olive season, the olive trees in the orchard bore more fruit than they had ever given; when it was sold, it gave the sons a whole pot of gold. And when they saw how much money had come from the orchard, they suddenly understood what the wise father had meant when he said, “There is gold hidden in the orchard.
