Before you attend the event, try to find out how other people will be dressing. If everyone else is wearing business clothes, you should, too. If the event is informal, you should wear informal clothes so that you fit in.If you are going to meet people from a certain business or profession, try looking through a few professional magazines or checking on the Internet ahead of time to get some conversation ideas which are related to their fields of interest. This can prevent you getting tongue-tied at the event.When you are at the event, dont worry about whether or not other people you are talking with like you. Instead, try your best to find reasons to like them. When you are making conversation with people, be sure to keep good eye contact, and make your facial expression soft. Nod to show youre listening.

Even parents who dont speak about the event are likely to feel a sense of sadness because its the end of an era when you and your family were at the centre of your childs world. As a parent youll probably continue to support your child in different ways, but the main job of raising your child is over. Its a huge change for everyone involved.There are a few things that you can do to make the transition easier. Plan carefully for your childs departure and think about how you can help. Many parents take their child to university for the first time. If you decide to do that, be ready to feel a realwrenchwhen the time es to say goodbye. Your child will probably be as nervous as you are about the moment when you finally say goodbye but that might not show!Be positive and cheerful about the choice your child has made to continue studying, and plan to leave once youve unpacked the car and looked around your childs new living acmodations. If you can, youll make things easier on your child and yourself.The more youve invested in being a parent, the more youll feel a sense of loss, so the sadness you feel now is a sign that youve been a good mom or dad. Remind yourself that parenting is all about raising an independent and confident child who functions well without you. If your child quickly settles and starts enjoying himself, you should congratulate yourself.Its also only fair to allow yourself some time to grieve (悲痛). Dont expect to pick yourself up and move on straight away. But you may decide to find a hobby or sport to fill your extra time.

Research shows that giving up driving is one of the key reasons for a fall in health and well-being among older people, leading to them being more isolated(隔绝) and inactive. Led by Professor Phil Blythe, the Newcastle team are developing in-vehicle technologies for older drivers which they hope could help them to continue driving into later life. These include custom-made navigation(导航) tools, night vision systems and intelligent speed adaptations. Phil Blythe explains: “For many older people, particularly those living alone or in the country, driving is important for preserving their independence, giving them the freedom to get out and about without having to rely on others.” “But we all have to accept that as we get older our reactions slow down and this often results in people avoiding any potentially challenging driving conditions and losing confidence in their driving skills. The result is that people stop driving before they really need to.” Dr Amy Guo, the leading researcher on the older driver study, explains, “The DriveLAB is helping us to understand what the key points and difficulties are for older drivers and how we might use technology to address these problems. “For example, most of us would expect older drivers always go slower than everyone else but surprisingly, we found that in 30mph zones they struggled to keep at a constant speed and so were more likely to break the speed limit and be at risk of getting fined. Were looking at the benefits of systems which control their speed as a way of preventing that.“We hope that our work will help with technological solutions(解决方案) to ensure that older drivers stay safer behind the wheel.”32. What is the purpose of the DriveLAB?A. To explore new means of transport. B. To design new types of cars.C. To find out older drivers problems. D. To teach people traffic rules.33. Why is driving important for older people according to Phil Blythe?A. It keeps them independent. B. It helps them save time.C. It builds up their strength. D. It cures their mental illnesses.34. What do researchers hope to do for older drivers?A. Improve their driving skills. B. Develop driver-assist technologies.C. Provide tips on repairing their cars. D. Organize regular physical checkups.35. What is the best title for the text?A. A new Model Electric Car B. A Solution to Traffic ProblemC. Driving Service for elders D. Keeping Older Drivers on the Road第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。How to Do Man-on-the-Street InterviewsThe man-on-the-street interview is an interview in which a reporter hits the streets with a cameraman to interview people on the spot. 36 But with these tips, your first man-on-the-street interview experience can be easy.lWhen your boss or professor sends you out to do man-on-the-street interviews for a story, think about the topic and develop a list of about ten general questions relating to it. For example, if your topic is about environmental problems in America, you might ask, “Why do you think environmental protection is important in America?” 37 lHit the streets with confidence. 38 Say, “Excuse me, I work for XYZ News, and I was wondering if you could share your opinion about this topic.” This is a quick way to get people to warm up to you.Move on to the next person if someone tells you she is not interestedDont get discouraged. 39 Each interview that you get on the street shouldnt be longer than ten minutes.

Limit your time.B. As you approach people, be polite.C. If you dont own a camera, you can buy one.D. For new reporters, this can seem like a challenging task.E.
