Good advice can help people make better decisions(决定). When someone asks you for advice, you should take it seriously and try your best to give good advice. Sometimes you should remember what your mother taught you: if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all, because bad advice may have terrible results. There are some ways for you to give advice.
☆Listen to the person asking you for advice. Every situation(情况) is special, so never think you know all about a problem. Listen to the person who wants advice, and learn as much as possible about the situation.
☆Put yourself in others' shoes. Think about what you will do if you are in the same situation. Don't just depend on(依赖) your experiences to give advice.
☆Think about the results of taking and not taking your advice. When possible, think twice about all the possible results. This is more important for really difficult problems.
☆Understand that the person may not take your advice. Someone asks for your advice, but he or she may not take it. When you give advice, the idea is to give someone the tools( 方法) to make their own decision, not make the decision for them. The person knows more about the situation than you do, so your advice may not be the best. Don't be surprised when a person doesn't take your advice. Live with it, and let the person live with his or her decision.
☆Don't be afraid to let the person know that you don't have anything to say if you are not able to give any advice. Take some time to think about it. You may share your thoughts later.

【推荐2】What exactly is persuasion? Persuasion is a process that enables you to change others' attitudes, opinions, or behaviors. When you are watching TV, there are so many advertisements to persuade you to buy their products. When your naughty son does not like to write his homework, you will punish him, which is also a persuasion.
Persuasion is a very important skill nowadays. It is fulfilling everywhere, every time. In many ways, persuasion combines art and science. It's an art in that it requires the ability to establish trust and strong communication skills. It's a science in that it centers on the disciplined collection and analysis of information and solidly researched principles (原则) of human behavior. Persuasion is everywhere, but the effect is very different.
When we persuade, first we should be believable. If someone is an expert in a certain field, his or her speech will be convincing when he or she expresses opinions about this field. It is interesting that if someone's aim is not to affect your opinions, and he or she has no benefit from your decision, this person seems to be more trustful. What's more, we need to be attractive. If we like someone, we will be affected by him or her on some unimportant topics. Even if this person tells us he or she wants to affect, maybe we will also be affected.
The methods of persuasion are necessary too. First you should think wise for choosing your topic. A good topic is a big impact to catch your audience. Then when you have done selecting topics, now it's time to brainstorm how you will have a deep conversation with your audience to give them more ideas about your topics. And think about who your listener is and what they want to know. How will you catch their attention to become more interested in your subject? Next, understanding your audience can help you deliver the right information that is valuable to them. To get your audience, try to add some personal experience in your topics. The way you talk to them expresses your feelings and knowledge, and it really works.
Everyone is trying to persuade someone and being persuaded. So next time you listen to a speech, watch an advertisement, think of persuasion.
1. In Paragraph 2, the writer thinks persuasion is an art because ________.| A．they both need skills to achieve | B．they both have the same topic |

【推荐3】“It’s good to talk,” some people say. I take a bus in London, there are certainly plenty of people talking on their mobile phones, sometimes too loudly, discussing and sharing personal information with a friend.
Many of us meet strangers every day no matter where we are. Some scientists studied this silent relationship and wondered if staying alone is a more positive（积极的）experience than communicating with strangers. They found that many people felt uncomfortable and ashamed talking to others and they said that many people just couldn’t understand how much a new person liked them when they started a conversation.
Their research showed that people who actually tried to talk to a stranger found the people sitting next to them was happy to chat with them. From this, this conclusion（结论）is that connecting with strangers is surprisingly pleasant and it has a good influence on our health. People are in a better mood after they have a conversation. It’s true that talking can make us feel happier and happiness can lead to better mental health.
However, if we’re shy, the thought of speaking to strangers might make us anxious. But an American research found that all people were happier when they were asked to behave in a brave manner. So maybe, if we’re alone, it’s time to go out of our house and make some small talks with a stranger — it could be the beginning of a new friendship.
1. What does the underlined word “ashamed” in Paragraph 2 probably mean in Chinese?| A．孤独的 | B．喜悦的 | C．自信的 | D．尴尬的 |

【推荐1】Each summer, you hear news that some sports players are sent to hospitals because it is too hot. Our bodies can’t be outside in the sun for a long time. So in hot summers, be careful about playing sports outside.
Firstly, to play sports safely in hot weather, you must drink water. Sports drinks are great for athletes, but they have so much sugar that they’ll dehydrate (使脱水) you more. However, drinking a few bottles of sports drinks will be good for you.
Secondly, be sure to take enough breaks to let your body rest. If your coach doesn’t let you take enough breaks in the heat, don’t wait until you feel uncomfortable. Just be honest with your coach when you need breaks.
Thirdly, when you have a break, don’t sit in the sun. With the sun beating down on you, you’ll only heat up and sweat (冒汗) more. Take a seat under a tree, or even better, go indoors for a little while. Cooling yourself down can help you stay active longer.
Fourthly, remember that the earlier in the day you start your exercise, the cooler it will be. If you can start practice before the sun comes up, you have a few good hours to practice in the cool hours of the morning. Also, the earlier you practice, the earlier you can finish the exercise. If you need more practice time, come back to the field later in the evening, when the sun is setting.
Last but not least, you should watch what you eat. Eat food which is high in water, starch (淀粉) and carbohydrate (糖类), but be sure to get a good balance in your diet.
As long as you pay attention to the above, playing sports safely in the heat isn’t a difficult thing.
1. How many pieces of advice does the writer give us?| A．Seven. | B．Five. | C．Three. | D．Two. |
| A．It is not proper to have practice after sunset. |

Communication, like any other skills, is one you can improve upon with practice. Here are a few ways to start improving your communication skills.
Consider (考虑) your audience. Who are you communicating with? Knowing your audience can be key to delivering the right messages effectively (有效地). Their age, race, income, education level, subject knowledge, and professional experience can all influence how they’ll receive your message.
If you’re advertising a fast food restaurant, for example, you might want to deliver your message to an audience that’s likely to be hungry. This could be a billboard on the side of a busy highway that shows a huge cheeseburger and informs drivers that the closest location is just two miles away.
Practise active listening. Active listening is the practice of giving your full attention in a communication exchange (交换). Some techniques include communication, be sure to consider your audience and practise active listening to get to the heart of their needs and desires.
Make your message as clear as possible. Once you have successfully identified (确定) your audience and listened to their intentions, needs and desires, you may have something to communicate. To do this effectively, try to make sure that your message is: clear, correct, complete, agreeable. Prepare to communicate in a way that achieves most of the above.
Use the right medium or platform (平台). Using the right medium or platform to communicate matters. Effective communication requires you to consider whether you need to meet in person. Is your message casual (非正式的) enough to use WhatsApp, or would a formal email be more efficient and thorough? If you are catching up with a friend, do you two prefer to talk on the phone or by old-fashioned letters? Whatever you choose should be appropriate (适合的) for you and your current situation.
By considering your audience, practicing active listening, making your communication clear, and choosing the right medium or platform, you are well on your way to exercising communication effectiveness.

【推荐3】Long ago, people made up interesting stories to explain what causes lightning and thunder. To many people, lightning and thunder can be very frightening especially because they often happen just before a big rainstorm. Actually, having a better understanding of something can make it less frightening.
Lightning is caused by electricity building up inside a cloud. When a large amount of warm air and cold air come together high above the earth, it causes a lot of movement in the air. The cold air moves down while the warm air moves up, which creates something like friction（摩擦）. An electric charge builds up in the clouds. The charge gets stronger and stronger until the explosion（爆炸）happens—and the LIGHTNING flashes.
When the lightning flashes, the air around it becomes unbelievably hot—five times hotter than the surface of the sun! The heated air becomes larger and larger and gets into the cooler air around it, causing the big shock wave that we call thunder. We now know what causes lightning and thunder. Have you ever noticed that you often hear thunder just a few seconds after you see lightning? In a joke, people even said the reason was our eyes are in front of our ears! In fact, that’s because it is lightning that causes thunder. If the storm is far away from you, there are a few seconds between the lightning and the thunder. If the storm is close to you, you hear the thunder almost at the same time that you see the lightning.
Even though we usually see lightning before we hear the thunder that it causes, the two events happen just a fraction of a second（瞬间）apart. In addition, both light and sound travel through the air in waves. However, light waves travel faster than sound waves, so the light waves from the explosion get to us first.
In our daily life, something similar to lightning and thunder can happen when you brush your feet along a carpet and then touch a doorknob. You can sometimes hear the little sizzle（咝咝声）of mini-thunder, and see the flash of mini-lightning.
1. Why did the writer talk about people making up interesting stories in the first paragraph?| A．To lead in the topic of this passage. |
| B．To help readers become less afraid of the nature. |
| C．To get people interested in the stories about lightning and thunder. |
| D．To help readers better understand the stories behind lightning and thunder. |
| A．An explosion developed by air friction. |
| B．A sound created by electricity in the air. |
| C．A heat produced by the surface of the sun. |
| D．A large wave caused by the growing heated air. |
| A．We are very close to the storm. |
| B．Our eyes are in front of our ears. |
| C．Lightening is the cause of thunder. |
| D．Sound waves travel faster than light waves. |
| A．They can be seen and heard anytime anywhere. |
| B．Things like them might also happen around us. |
| C．We should be careful and not get hurt by both of them. |

But a new study shows that our faces can do more than we think. Scientists from Ohio State University found out that humans can actually make 21 different facial expressions after studying how people move their facial muscles.
The scientists took pictures of 230 volunteers making faces in response to different cues (提示).These cues included phrases like “you just got some great unexpected news”, which produced a “happily surprised” reaction from volunteers. Other cues included “you smell a bad odor (气味)”, which caused “disgusted” faces.
In total, around 5,000 pictures were taken of the volunteers. The scientists then studied similarities of these pictures using a computer expression database. This helped them to define a facial expression. “That tells us that these 21 emotions are expressed in the same way by nearly everyone,” said DrAleix Martinez to The Daily Telegraph. For example, to express surprise, 92 percent of volunteers widened (睁大) their eyes and opened their mouth. And 99 percent raised their cheeks (脸颊) and smiled to show being happy.
We are not always aware of our facial expressions, which can hold clues to how we really feel. So these results may have a big impact (影响) on medical treatment. If doctors were able to recognize more complex (复杂的) emotions, it would help doctors treat patients suffering from certain diseases.

【推荐2】When I was 11 years old, I traveled to Peru. I went on more than just a vacation. I was visiting my native country.
I was born in Peru, but I was adopted (领养) by an American family and grew up in the United States.
While in Peru, I wanted to know what my life could have been like if I had not been adopted. I visited several orphanages (孤儿院), including one in the hills of Cuzco, near my birthplace.
The orphanage was really cold and dry there. The paint on the wall was falling off, and the girls were in poor health.
When I returned home, I couldn’t get the girls out of my mind, and I really wanted to do something because I could have been one of those girls in that orphanage.
I decided to start a group called Peruvian Hearts to help them. My goal was to provide orphans in Peru with education, clothing and food. In the first two years, Peruvian Hearts raised about $15,000 for the orphanage. It also bought a chicken coop (鸡舍) so that the girls could eat fresh eggs.
My efforts have been noticed. I won a prize, which is given to kids and teens that make a difference. From this experience, I learn that as long as we believe in ourselves, and follow our heart, we can make a difference, and make the world a better place.

【推荐3】“To raise snails(蜗牛) well, you need to spray(喷) water to the container(容器) every morning and evening, change soil every two weeks, and feed them with vegetables and sweet fruits,” said Sun Youxiang after raising snails for one year. He is a fourth grade primary school student in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. From three white jade snails at the very beginning to more than sixty snails of four generations now, he has done a great job for his science class.
Watching the reproduction( 繁 殖 ) of animals is an uncommon experience for kids. Their creativity, patience and respect for life will be developed as they learn to take care of animals on their own. Sun’s teacher said the job served as a good example of life education. Practice is a necessary step in learning and it will benefit the kids for a life time.
Life education allows kids to know how to live with nature and creatures in a friendly way. Starting from this year, science will become an important subject as Chinese and math in primary schools in order to improve students’ knowledge about the things around us. Because of curiosity(好奇心), more kids will be willing to watch and think through practising. It will add to our knowledge of the world in the long run.
