I will never forget the day when I met my best friend for the first time. That day, I was studying for an important exam in the library, but there was too much noise. I was getting much angrier and of course I was not able to concentrate（聚精会神）. I couldn’t stand it when I heard someone singing behind me. I turned around and looked at the person angrily. It was a tall girl about the same age as me and she had a big smile on her face. She was standing with a book of poems in her hands. I picked up my books, looked at her and said angrily, “Thanks to your noise. I’ve been unable to study. You’re so selfish（自私的）!”

　　Because I left the library in a hurry, I left my most important textbook behind. What was worse, the library was closed and I could do nothing. I was so sad that I almost cried. Just then, the phone rang. I answered it and a friendly voice said she was Jenny and asked if I was Jane. Jenny said that she had noticed I left my textbook in the library. As my name and phone number were in it, she called me directly. She said that she didn’t live far away and could bring it around for me.
　　I agreed to meet her. When I found that Jenny was the girl I had shouted at, I was filled with shame and said sorry several times to her. Jenny just laughed. I invited her to my home for a cup of tea. Later, we became best friends and we told each other everything.
　　How lucky I am! I have a nice friend and I value the friendship so much.

People can’t see you when you’re speaking on the phone, but they can hear you. So, the way you speak is especially important. In fact, researchers have calculated that 80% of communication over the phone is through your tone of voice; and only 20% is from the words you use. Here are our top tips on how to speak over the phone.

Facial Expressions

Your facial expression can influence your voice. For example, if you smile, your voice will sound warm and friendly; just the opposite, if you have an angry look on your face, it can make you sound unpleasant.

Volume

If you speak too loudly, you could sound angry. And if you speak too softly, it’ll be difficult to hear you. So, speak loudly enough to be heard clearly, but not too loud.

Gestures(手势)

Gesturing can influence the tone of your voice. When you gesture, you bring more air into the lungs, which can make your voice sound warmer. Gestures are also useful to help you stress the right words or even find the words you need. The best thing about gesturing during a phone call is that no one can see what you’re doing, so you can gesture as wildly as you like!

Movement

If you’re feeling nervous, stand up and move around. It will reduce the nervousness in your body and help your voice to sound more confident.

Pauses(停顿)

Using pauses every now and then can help you to slow down. This will make you sound more confident. Also, if you pause after giving some new information, it’ll give the other person time to understand it. At the same time, listen to how the other person uses pauses. They could tell you something about the speaker’s feeling.

24. What can people do to reduce their nervousness on the phone?

A．Gesture wildly.

B．Move around.

C．Raise their voices.

D．Make facial expressions.

25. How can pauses help people talk on the phone?

A．The speaker can show he is friendly.

B．The speaker can tell more information.

C．The listener will feel more confident.

D．The listener will have time to understand the words.

26. What is the writer’s opinion about telephone talk?

A．Your voice on the phone will show what you’re feeling.

B．Using too many pauses while talking will make others angry.

C．Speaking loudly makes it easier for others to understand you.

D．The words you use are more important than the way you speak.

Everyone needs help sometimes. People depend on one another. That's why communities have special people ready to lend a helping hand to anyone who needs it.

For example, what would we do without a community fire station？ If a home catches on fire,as the Jackson place did last week, it might be burned down and people get hurt…or worse. We're so lucky to have firemen to come to save people and put out the fire, safely. If the fire station hadn't come so fast, the Jacksons might have lost everything.

And what about our local police who protect our families, our homes and valuable things?The police have helped so many families this past year, especially saving people and pets and protecting our houses and other things after the heavy rains.

Think about all the other service workers we have in this community, We have people who collect waste and rubbish and keep our community sanitary, We have road workers who put up and repair traffic signs and fix holes in the streets to protect not just us, but our cars! And where would this community be without the teachers in our school and the doctors, and nurses in our community hospitals?

Think again about what we eat every day; think again about what we wear every day. We cannot produce them, but we use them all the time. We get a lot from all these tireless workers who keep our community running. We need these people in the community. We depend on each other. Let's support each other and help each other. Only in this way can we make our community a better place.

Have you heard of “soft skills” before? To be honest, they’re abilities that are not taught in school. However, to be truly happy and successful, you need to develop soft skills. Here are some of them.

Understand the power of non-language communication. If you have watched a nature program, you’ve probably seen how some animals communicate. For example, a wolf can control its young just by using a different look in its eyes. While humans have the ability to speak, about 55% of our face-to-face communication actually takes place through body language.

Know how to make others laugh. I’m sure with your friends and family you have a great sense of humor. However, how about at work or when you meet strangers? Break free, and add humor to your actions. Then your personal happiness will rise.

Respect others. Unfortunately, this soft skill seems to be going out of fashion at present. Too many people have become self-centered, and put their own hopes above the needs of other people. Please make sure you respect all those you come into contact with. Interestingly, by respecting others, you’ll find they respect you more in return.

Have persuasive(令人信服的) power. This isn’t some kind of superheroes’ power. It’s an ability that many people have developed. If you learn to communicate persuasively, you will go far.

Friends are important to everyone. However, some people may have trouble keeping their friendships. Here are some tips on how to make your friendship     41     (deep) and stronger.

★Be yourself. A lot of teens try not to lose the friendship once they become friends     42     some people. Though your identity (身份) is always changing, some of your personality will stay pretty much     43     same. Find out what those things are, think hard about who you want to be, and then show yourself     44     (honest) to the people around you.

★Avoid gossip (流言蜚语). Friends shouldn’t     45     (spread) rumors (谣言) about other friends. If you’ve heard something bad about your friends, find a proper way of asking them about it by     46     (you). If you’re not sure     47     to talk to them about it, ask a trusted friend for advice.

★Protect your friends. Very often, somebody that you’re not close to doubts one of your     48     (friend). It’s important to find out both sides of the story, but it’s also a good chance to show your friend that you trust him by     49     (tell) him.

★ Return the care. There are times when a friend will lend you a textbook, or a shoulder to cry on. A good friend will cheer you     50     when you’re in trouble and listen patiently when your friend shares a problem with you. Be sure you are as helpful as your friend, because he will take notice and feel good.
