3 . 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

Theo stood at the microphone. Silence settled over the hall. "Your word is onomatopoeia," said Mr Ramirez, the announcer. I got this! Theo thought. Spelling was sort of his superpower. He wasn't a math or science guy, but he had a gift for spelling.

Theo's brain fast-forwarded to the spelling bees ahead: first the county championship, then the state championship, and finally the national spelling bee. "Your answer, please, Theo?" He glanced back at Alexa, another fourth-grader, sitting on the edge of her chair. She wanted another chance at winning. If he missed his word, she'd be back in the game. But that wasn't going to happen. Theo got the right spelling.

Theo's sister, Deandra, who had also competed but missed her word, applauded with the rest of the crowd. Mr. Ramirez presented the trophy（奖杯）to Theo. He lifted both arms into the air. "I'm the alpha-best." Then he raced toward his sister. "Ha!" Theo said, making the trophy dance in front of Deandra's nose.

She rolled her eyes. "You're a terrible winner."

"What's wrong with celebrating my victory?"

Deandra crossed her arms and made a sour face. "You know, it wasn't cool the way you ignored Alexa onstage. She tried to shake your hand."

Theo shrugged. "I didn't notice. Anyway, county bee, here I come!"

"You might want to crack open the dictionary before counties. In two weeks, you'll be facing the best of the best."

"And they'll be up against me，the alpha-beast."

Deandra shook her head. "Well, good luck. I think you're going to need it."

Two weeks passed in a blink. At the county bee, students from different schools gathered around onstage, some looking more worried than others. Finally, it was time for the contestants（选手）to take their seats.

After six rounds, the group of more than 100 students decreased to just seven. This was no regular spelling bee. Theo had barely made it through the last round with a lucky guess on conscience. And if he'd had to spell aerospace or conical, he'd be out already. His sister's advice suddenly made sense.

5 . How to Develop Interpersonal Skills

People use interpersonal skills daily — socially as well as professionally — and usually without even being conscious of their effectiveness. In the workplace, listening, communicating, working together and manners are important interpersonal skills. An employee who falls short of any of these soft skills must work consciously to strengthen and develop them.    1    

Listen up.

Active listening is a skill that must be learned and practiced.    2    The active listener provides feedback by focusing their full attention on the speaker and responding with verbal and non-verbal clues that the speaker's message is heard and understood.

Avoid failure to communicate.

Simply talking to people does not guarantee that your message is getting across. Common barriers to communication are lack of verbal clues, cultural differences, lack of interest, distractions, and unfamiliar expressions. Expect such barriers and deal with them. Learn to think before you speak, and express yourself clearly and carefully.    3    

Get it together.

Working together is the key to working effectively.    4    Create such an environment, rather than competition, and respect the opinions of others. Praise and thank co-workers for their contributions and treat all suggestions and opinions with respect.

    5    

The basics of these interpersonal skills are the rules of politeness and good manners. Respecting other cultures can strengthen a relationship. Be aware of what is happening in your co-workers' lives and care for them. Stay cheerful and positive in the office.

A．Mind your manners.

B．Stay positive to infect others.

C．Working successfully with others can make a career.

D．It can avoid letting the speaker's message disappear.

E．Practice smiling in front of the mirror until you feel confident.

F．Otherwise, the employee can't get along with superiors and co-workers.

G．Control your non-verbal communication—facial expressions, body language and eye contact.

6 .

It was raining hard and nearly dusk. I was late for an appointment in the nearby city that I knew only by GPS. Now my phone had died. The usual interstate exits were closed. I couldn’t figure out how to get where I was going or how to let my appointment know I was likely not going to make it there.

I stopped at a McDonald’s in a poor part of the town and walked up to what appeared to be a mother and her teen daughter. I’m sorry, but do you mind, is it possible for me to look up a number on your phone and then call my friends and let them know I am lost?” She handed me her phone and they told me I was lucky that she had her phone. It was getting ready to be turned off because she didn't have enough money to pay the phone bill.

The young girl and mother seemed to be clinging to each other and talked together as I made my phone call, not really paying me much attention as the people at the other end of the phone told me to come on, I was not too late, and then told me how to get there As I stood to leave, suddenly, I reached into my wallet where I don't usually have cash and pulled out all. I had a $20 bill. I pressed it into the mother’s hand and then turned to leave quickly because 1 didn’t want to take the credit for it. But not before seeing that she was crying，her daughter called after me,” Thanks, sir. You have no idea how you just helped us.” And yet, they really helped me.

7 . I want to share with you a story from 28 years ago. My dad was a used car salesman. Every Thursday night, he would head off to Shreveport, LA for an auction (拍卖会). Most of the time, I drove a car over there for him so he could sell it at the auction.

One day I was riding with my dad when he noticed a hitch-hiker(搭便车的人) with a backpack. Without hesitation, he pulled the car over and offered him a ride. Dad asked him his name, and proceeded to talk to him about all sorts of things. Dad asked him where he was going. The hitch-hiker told him that he was heading for the west. I can’t recall why but he told Dad a lot of things that had occurred to him and that persuaded him to make that decision. He talked about the tragic events that occurred to him several years before. He was in low spirits, but I could see that the hitch-hiker’s attitude was changing as someone was really listening to him.

We drove 45 minutes before the hitch-hiker got off. We pulled over and Dad told him to keep his head up and things would start looking up for him soon. He reached into his pocket and handed the hitch-hiker a twenty-dollar bill. The guy smiled. He nearly lit up right there on the cold, dark highway.

We drove on and my dad did not say a single thing. I was still completely amazed by what I had just witnessed. I was always told by everyone never to pick up a hitch -hiker and yet my dad did it every single time he saw one. While reflecting upon that story I came to understand that just one single kind act could change someone’s life, and I am sure that my father’s deed made that poor man’s day.

1. What made the hitch-hiker become less upset?

A．The writer’s father really listening to him.

B．The writer’s father offering him a free ride.

C．The writer’s father talking to him about all sorts of things.

D．The writer’s father agreeing to drive him to his destination.

2. What does the underlined words “that decision” in Para. 2 refer to?

C．Talking about his experiences	D．Driving 45 minutes

3. When his father helped the hitch-hiker, the writer ___________.

C．admired his father	D．couldn’t understand

4. Which of the following words can be used to describe the father?

A．Wealthy.

B．Warm-hearted.

5. What's the writer's main purpose of writing this text?

8 . 阅读短文,根据短文内容写出一篇60词左右的内容摘要.

Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents. However, it is not true. Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it’s hard for you to communicate with your parents, don’t worry about it. Here is some advice for you to bridge the generation gap.

Don’t argue with your parents. Don’t talk with your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won’t consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can’t express yourself well if you are angry. Go to some place to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don’t think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter.

Try to reach a compromise. Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael’s mother didn’t agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to a compromise. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days.

Of course, your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong.

Talk about your values. The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life.

A good relationship with your parents can make you a belter and happier person. It is worth having a try.
