4 . For each working person, the rarest resource is your daily time. You may feel like that you do not have enough hours in the day, only endless things to do. Of course, some of these things are not part of your job, such as other colleagues asking for your help or bosses making new demands.

How can we reasonably refuse them?

    1     Just by doing the following three steps, you can usually make yourself and the other person comfortable while refusing them.

◆ Listen patiently to others’ requests

It’s not simply hearing what the other person is saying. You have to stop what you’re doing and carefully listen to what they say.     2     The point is to let the other person see that you are willing to help, and let them understand that you’ve already known their needs. In this way, even if you eventually refuse them, they’ll understand that you are not available, instead of not willing to help.

◆     3    

When we listen, we all hope that other people will come to a conclusion quickly. But when we speak, we instinctively（本能地）start from the beginning of the story. In fact, this way of speaking is not good for communication. So if you want to refuse somebody, just tell them No, and then explain the reasons why.

◆ Provide an alternative solution

Maybe you really don’t have the time to listen to the other person’s request. In situations like this, don’t just tell the other person that you don’t have the time.     4     For example, you may say, “Sorry, I really don’t have the time right now. Is it OK if we talk tomorrow morning?” In this way, although you refuse him, he still can feel your support.

In conclusion, refusal is unavoidable, but you can choose the way to refuse. An inappropriate refusal may cause great harm to your working life.    5    .

A．Begin with conclusion when refusing.

B．Start from the beginning when refusing.

C．Even if your time is limited, it is best for you to do so.

D．Instead, you should give them a time when you would be available.

E．In addition, this willing-to-help attitude also shows leadership skills.

F．In fact, there has been a mature methodology (科学方法) for this matter since long ago.

G．An artistic refusal, on the other hand, may lead you to some unexpected benefits.

5 . The older we get, the more we learn. the better able we are to know what's right. Right? Not always. Sometimes the aging process can remove completely the natural aspects that keep us curious and give us strength to figure out what to do. As a matter of fact，children of all ages teach us lessons in our own lives.

When a kid says“ That wasn’t nice ‘or’ I don’t like your shirt” or “I hate that kind of food!”,   it's a natural reaction(反应)to shush the child not to do so, but what they say is true. When children see a wrong being done, they will interrupt to say it's not right. As adults, we usually sit nearby rather than hold a strong opinion or say something that might be unpopular.

Kids cry, stamp( 跺) their feet or yell with excitement while it isn’t socially acceptable for an adult. Letting emotions out and then moving on to deal with things, so jump and yell "yippee" when you are happy about something. Have a good cry when being upset. Stamp or throw a pillow when being alone and need to release. Most of life becomes a series of things once you reach a certain age. Finding pleasure and laughing seems out of place or silly when gaining knowledge or skills.

“Why is the sky blue?” “ How much does an elephant weigh?” There are certain things that the Internet can tell you, but what about learning something in the first hand like the science experiment in the kitchen, digging up rocks in the backyard, how high the bicycle's wheels can fly over the gravel( 砂砾)? Don't stop exploring and find new learnings in the real world.

1. What can we know from the text?

A．Adults know what is right better than children.

B．Children often show their inner feelings directly.

C．Adults look for their future happiness easily.

D．Adults like to express their own opinions freely.

2. What's the purpose of the author's writing the last paragraph?

A．To remind us to try to enjoy life to the fullest.

B．To persuade us not to rely much on the Internet.

C．To warn us to keep curious about things around us.

D．To encourage us to take an active part in life by ourselves.

3. What is the passage mainly telling us about?

A．Being adults is different from children.

B．Being adults doesn’t mean we are smarter.

C．It's not easy for children to grow into adults.

D．It's necessary to listen to what the children say.

6 . Rey Castueiano didn’t plan to become his father’s primary caregiver，but when Castuciano spent six weeks in a nursing home with his father who had a stroke(中风)，it led to a moment that changed Castuciano’s life for the better．

“I befriended a lot of the nursing home residents(居民)，”Castuciano says．“I got to know them and noticed how many talents and how much wisdom they had．But there was also a lot of depression and social isolation．”

During one of his stops in the nursing home’s café，he watched a video about seniors in the United States helping Brazilian students improve their English through Skype sessions．

That’s when his idea was born．He saw a way to benefit two populations，older Americans   and newcomers，at once．And in 2014，he founded Table Wisdom，whose mission is to bring   together mature adults and younger people born abroad(i.e．，recent immigrants and   international students)for weekly guidance and conversational English via video chat．

“Being a caregiver wasn’t something I was prepared to do．”he notes．“It was kind of just presented to me，and I had to figure it out．It can be very exhausting and stressful，balancing caregiving with being the founder of a social enterprise．But at the same time，it's satisfying and rewarding work．”And Castueiano says that he’s on the fight path．To date，Table Wisdom has made more than 90 matches．To match people，common interests and personality type are taken into consideration．

Most connect by whatever video software they prefer(for example，FaceTime or   WeChat)．For the older adults who struggle with technology or don’t have a reliable internet   connection，conversations can take place by phone．

These days，Castuciano is planning to help his parents reunite with family members in   southern California，since his father is now doing well．He says，“Taking care of older people   is embedded(融入)in our culture．”

7 . We’ve all experienced peer pressure (同伴压力) . It happens to everybody. However, people have different reactions. Confident people refuse to do things they don’t want to do, but shy and anxious people often give in. It may be because they want to be liked. It may be because they worry that their friends will make fun of them, or perhaps they’re just curious about trying something new.       1    

It’s hard being the only one who says no and the question is: how do you do it?     2    

If you think that missing maths, or smoking, or going somewhere you know your parents wouldn’t like is a bad idea then the answer is simple: don’t do it. It’s your decision, nobody else’s. You don’t need to be aggressive. You don’t need to shout and scream, but you must be confident and you must be firm. You need to say, “No thanks. I don’t want to do that.”

Being on your own against everybody else is very hard, so it can really help to have at least one other peer, or friend, who will say no too.     3    You want friends who will support you when you’re in trouble. You don’t want people who will always agree with the majority. Remember, the most popular people aren’t always the most trustworthy.

    4     You can learn a lot from people of your own age. They can teach you great football skills or the best way to do your maths homework. They can recommend music and advise you on fashion. And don’t forget you can tell them things too, and that always feels great. So, find friends who have similar interests. And remember, friendship isn’t about feeling depressed and guilty.       5    

A．It may be because they were all born to be stubborn.

B．Depression and guilt will surely give you peer pressure.

C．Whatever the reason, some people end up doing things the really don’t want to.

D．Of course, peer pressure isn’t completely bad.

E．Choose your friends carefully.

F．Firstly, you must decide what you believe in.

G．It’s about sharing experiences and having fun.

8 . Friendship is a gift of God. But it may be taken for granted in some cases and not valued.     1    Say one has no child even after many years of marriage and the other has many children, more than they can manage. What do you think? Will the couple with many children value the children as much as the couple which has none? Everything is relative in life. We value what we don’t have and give less value to what is freely available to us.    2    

Why should we value friendships? What qualities does a good friend bring to our relationship that makes the friendship so valuable? Let us examine some of these.

Judgement——A good friend is rarely judgemental. We can be open in our behaviour with our good friends because we know that they will not judge us.     3     With other people our actions and behavior are always calculated and guarded and that takes away lots of pleasure from our life.

Share sorrow and losses ——A friend can be depended upon to share all our problems and sorrows.     4    Once I saw the image of a man left alone in a village after an earthquake. The whole village got killed except this man with whom, will this man share his sorrow? A friend gives us this gift.

Hope——During our times of trouble, only a friend comes forward and gives us encouragement and hope.     5    

A．This is no small gift of friendship.

B．Friendship is one such relationship

C．It is familiar to a case of two couples.

D．Some of us are blessed with good friends

E．We can enjoy this freedom only with friends

F．With that inspiration, we regain confidence in ourselves.

G．This sharing may not reduce the loss but helps us unburden ourselves.

10 . How to make friends

Friendship is a very important human relationship and everyone needs good friends. Good friendship has many benefits. It offers companionship, improves self-worth and promotes good health. There are times in our lives such as when we have recently moved into a new town, or changed our jobs or schools. Such changes often leave us without a friends.     1     But for many of us the process is difficult and requires courage. Below are some helpful suggestions on how to make and keep friends.

1.Associate with others.

The first step to make friends is associating with other people. You can go to public places to meet new people. Besides, you will need to make yourself known by becoming an active member of such places.

2.Start a conversation.

Starting a conversation is the second most important step in making new friends.     2     You can always start the conversation. Being able to make small talk is a very useful skill in relating with other people.

3.    3    

Choosing friends with common interests is important in building friendship as these interests would always bring you and your friend together. Hanging out will always be a pleasant experience.

4.Let it grow.

It is a good thing to stay in touch. However, try not to press your new friend with calls, messages or visits as this would likely wear him or her out and finally you may lose your friend.     4     The best friendships are the ones that grow naturally.

5.Enjoy your friendship.

The best way to enjoy friendship is to allow your friends to be themselves.     5     Try not to change them from who they are to what you want them to be. Become the kind of friend you will want your friends to be to you.
