We took the same bus but didnt know each others names. I used to think it was impossible for us to be true friends. How wrong I was! Smiles from the “nameless” people have changed my thoughts.The first time on the bus, I saw different faces, we met, greeted and cold faces turned into smiling faces. As days went on, we chatted like old friends. But I felt it a pity that I was unable to set up the same friendship with a silent girl in the front of the bus. Her old clothing suggested that she didnt have much money, but she always took a cup of water for the driver. I guessed she was a kind girl. But why did she sit in silence instead of talking with us? Why did she never reply to our friendly greetings? Couldnt she smile?Then, one evening, I got the answer. I walked to the park nearby and found the girl sitting alone under a tree, lonely and sad. I greeted her with the same warm smile that I had shown to her all these months, but this time her face turned red, then a shy smile appeared. As soon as she began her first words, I understood why she hadnt spoken to us before. Talking was hard for her. I learned her story: Her parents worked hard somewhere. She lived with her disabled grandparents. She said,“I cant express(表达) myself very well. Most of the time, I cant say what I want to say. I have no friends but you always smile to me like an angel, so I also want to smile.” That evening, we exchanged our names and we said goodbye like old friends. Smile is the key to opening the door of heart; it can break the cold walls in front of us.54. All the following words can describe the girl Except .A. silent B. kindC. proudD. poor55. The girl had difficulty in .A. listening B. singing C. writing D. talking56. Which of the following is True?A. The girl only talked with the driver. B. The girl was too shy to talk with others.C. The writer got to know the name of the girl that evening.D. The writer cant make friends with those nameless people on the bus now57. The main idea of the passage is that .A. we should help those silent peopleB. smiles can deal with every difficulty we meetC. we should smile to the nameless people on the busD. smiles can help us get closer and understand each other betterCA habit is any action that we have performed so often that it becomes something that we do almost without thinking. Some of them are thought to be bad habits. People spend countless hours and dollars each year trying to get rid of these bad habits but often fail. Why? Change is hard work and there is no shortcut to achieve it. However, there is still some advice for you to follow.First, look at why you do it. In other words, whats the result of doing this thing? If your bad habit is shouting at people when you are unhappy or under pressure, what do you get from it? It may make you feel a little better for the moment. Or maybe you have a bad habit of leaving your homework undone. The result could be that you get more time to spend on the Internet!Next, take a look on the other hand. What are you losing because of your habit? Shouting at other people is a bad habit because it makes people around you feel bad and unhappy. Leaving your homework undone is a bad habit because you may be punished by your teacher. Having more Internet time means that you are losing the chance to learn the things that you need to learn. When you think that way, youll find that its not wise to keep your bad habit! Now it is time to make a decision. What will you choose? Im sure you will choose to do what you think is more important.58. The underlined sentence “there is no shortcut to achieve it” means that _.A. it is not easy to get rid of bad habits B. there is a long way and a short wayC. something dangerous may happenD. we must cut it in a short time.59. According to the reading, if you want to get rid of your habits, you have to _.A. talk to others when you are in low spiritsB. know why you do what you do C. finish your homework first D. spend less time on the Internet60. Which of the following does NOT happen because of a bad habit according to the reading?A. You are punished later. B. Making people around you feel unhappy.C. You feel a little better after shouting at others. D. You leave your homework at home by accident.61. The main purpose(目的) of this passage is to _.A. introduce and describe B. complain（埋怨）and disagree C. explain（解释）and advise D. discuss and argue（争论）DDo you notice that though students spend the same amount of time in class, some get better grades than others? In some ways, its because they are different listeners. When having classes, some of them listen carefully. We call them effective listeners. Some just daydream or talk to others. They are ineffective listeners. How are some listeners effective? First of all, they dont care about some poor situations, like an uncomfortable seat or a personal problem. They say “No” to anything that will stop them from understanding and remembering. After leaving a class or meeting, they remember what the speakers said, not the room conditions or the speakers accent (口音). Effective listeners always pay attention to the message itself. They try not to be influenced (被影响) by their own feelings or opinions. They do not decide if the thing is boring, too easy, or too difficult before listening. They like getting the challenge (挑战) of new ideas. To help remember difficult ideas, they write down important words and phrases.However, ineffective listeners often daydream. They dont like to hear what they dont agree with or easily understand. They are often so busy taking notes that they miss the speakers main idea. These listeners leave a speech or a class with a notebook full of words, but the notebook means nothing. Do you wish to do well in your study? Start to be an effective listener. It may help. 62. What does the underlined word “effective” mean?A. 杰出的B. 有效率的C. 机智的D. 积极的63.

Being open is a kind of invitation to others to come in, to speak and to share. It is important in letting others get to know how we think and feel. In this way we will be understood and accepted by others. If we arent open with others, we wont fully believe in ourselves or others. Here are a few ways for you to be more open. First, make your outside behavior the same with your inside feelings and thoughts. Second, share how you really feel about something instead of just opinions. Third, try to change your questions into statements(陈述句) and talk in the first person so that people will understand you more easily.
