4 . Ways to make a great first impression

You’ve heard it a million times already. But it really does take but a few seconds to make that all-important first impression（印象）. Here are some easy ways for you to impress your classmates or teachers.

*    1    

Before you shake hands with somebody, make sure that your hands are clean. The hand-shake should not be too strong or weak. Most people use their right hands, unless they have a reason to use the left.     2    

*Be on time

When meeting someone for the first time, arriving on time is as important as breathing. You may have an excuse, but that will leave the person who hardly knows you with a bad impression.     3     It’s better to be hanging around the place than be stuck in traffic.

*Introduce yourself and ask for names

Make sure you properly introduce yourself. Ask for their name in a polite way.     4    . This will increase the chances of their remembering your name in the future. Always remember to stand up when greeting someone and be sure to introduce them to anyone you’re with.

*Make good conversation

To get the most out of your discussion, try to find something common between the two of you.     5    . A person will feel more comfortable with someone they can relate to（产生共鸣）.

A．Use body language

B．Have a proper handshake

C．Repeat the name and use it later in conversation.

D．It could be a similar taste in clothes or a common hobby

E．As a general rule, plan to arrive about 30 minutes early.

F．You’ll be in serious trouble if you leave them with a bad impression.

G．However, don’t have your left hand in your pocked because this appears impolite.

5 . Word came that free souvenirs would be given to ________ comes first.

7 . Bad weather drags your spirits down. There’s nothing you can do about the weather.     1    .

◆Find things to enjoy about winter.

A snowy, icy, cold, or rainy world can be beautiful and often has sounds and smells of its own. If you’re an artist, or photographer, winter provides a great deal of inspiration and different colors to work with.     2    . You can simply watch a winter scene from the comfort of your home and it’s a pleasant way to relax and enjoy the peace.

◆Take part in winter activities.

    3    . If you’re a beginner to these snow sports, try learning in areas where you won’t be worried about more experienced people crowding you out. Local parks are ideal starting points to encourage you to get out and give new winter sports a go.

◆     4    . 

Winter comes with the shortest days and lowest light of the year. Go out if you can. If you can’t, or if you’re so far from the equator as to have little or no daylight, use bright lights and perhaps light or white walls.

◆Stay active. 

As much as possible, get yourself outside. Take at least a short walk. If the weather does not permit, move around inside. Walk up and down your stairs if you have them.     5    . It also regulates such things as sleep and diet. Move around at least a bit each day.

A．Go out

B．Brighten up

C．Perhaps you don’t feel that creative

D．Enjoy skiing, sledding, or ice-skating

E．Making snowmen is a fun activity for both kids and adults

F．But there are various things you can do to keep your spirits up until spring

G．Exercise gets your body temperature up and your blood flowing

8 . Exchanging old-fashioned postcards with random strangers around the world is great fun. And for me, it’s sending not just any postcard, but one in particular that seems to resonate (共鸣) with people everywhere.

The Postcrossing project was created by Paulo Magalhaes in 2005. He liked getting mail — especially postcards. He thought others did, too — but how could he connect with them? That’s when he came up with the idea of an online platform (postcrossing. com). There, postcard lovers like me can sign up to send a postcard to someone who has registered (注册) online, and receive a postcard in return.

Along with a randomly selected address, participants get a unique code to put on the postcard. When the postcard arrives, the recipient registers that code with the site, which then causes the sender’s address to be given to another Postcrosser in turn. In practice, this means that for nearly every postcard I send (a few get lost in the mail) I get one back. And since I never know who will be sending me a card or where in the world they live, every trip to the mailbox holds the potential for a wonderful surprise.

At the last count, there were more than 690,000 Postcrossers in 211 countries, representing nearly every race and religion on the planet — and the cards they’d like to receive are nearly as diverse. I’ve seen requests for postcards featuring maps, animals, Benedict Cumberbatch (an actor), and the color green. But no matter how lengthy or unusual a particular Postcrosser’s list of requests may be, somewhere, in nearly every card, is a sentence like this: “Please send me a card that represents something unique or special about your country.”

I love to see that request. To me, the opportunity to share what I love most about my country and to learn what other people love most about theirs is the heart and soul of this activity.

1. Why did Paulo set up the online platform?

A．To show his love to mail.

B．To connect with the author.

C．To get postcards from strangers.

D．To make friends around the world.

2. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?

A．How people sign up for the platform.

B．Why the online platform succeeds.

C．What the online platform provides.

D．How the online platform works.

3. How does the author feel on the way to get his card?

A．Surprised and shocked.	B．Curious and eager.
C．Nervous and expected.	D．Upset and unusual.

4. What does the author think of the Postcrossing project?

A．It’s an activity about sharing and communicating.

B．It’s a request to make people share their cultures.

C．It’s a way of learning about a new country.

D．It’s an opportunity to know more people.

10 . 语法填空

Have you ever asked yourself why children go to school? You will     1     (probable) say that they go to learn languages, history, science and some other knowledge. That’s quite true, but do you know why they learn these     2     (thing)?

We send our children to school to prepare them    3     the future when they grow up and have to work for     4     (they). Nearly everything they study at school has some practical use in their life. But is that     5     only reason why they go to school?

Actually, there is more in education than just    6     (learn) facts. We go to school above all to learn how to learn, so that when we graduate we can continue to learn.     7     a man really knows how to learn, he will be     8     (success). Because when he has to do something new, he will not only be able     9     (do) it well himself, but he will also be able to teach others how to do it in the     10     (good) way. So the purpose of schools is not to teach languages, history, science, etc., but to teach students the way to learn.
