    If you're networking (建立人际关系) and nothing is happening, you might need to evaluate how you're doing it. Maybe you show up at each event and still feel challenged by the process. You aggressively talk to people, give out your cards, call endlessly to schedule an appointment but have no real success from your efforts. To help you gain a different future, here are ten habits you should avoid.
    Ineffective networkers：
    1. Lack patience. They expect immediate results and want business now, not tomorrow.
    2. Constantly “selling” something. They see dollar signs every time they shake hands with someone.
    3. Too many choices. If they offer a variety of products, they might try too hard to tell about all of them. Offering too much information sends a confusing message making it difficult for people to send referral (指点). Opportunities are all around us but when you're networking, only focus on one.
    4. Change positions too often. If they move from company to company or do something totally different, it might be difficult for people to keep up with them.
    5. Lack manners and respect. They interrupt others, talk with food in their mouth, aren't very polite and appear unprofessional. They call people during dinner or on the weekends without thinking whether the occasion is suitable.
    6. Distribute too many cards and sales literature. They come while loading with brochures, flyers (传单), catalogues and samples.
    7. Focus on themselves. Too much self­ promotion can leave the other person to feel unappreciated. Every sentence begins with “I” and is all about their business.
    8. “Talking” instead of “giving”. They don't realize what other people sense when they are being very selfish. Others may think that they are being taken advantage of.
    9. Lack authenticity (可靠性) and personal values. They may create unrealistic expectations and not deliver on their promises. Sometimes doing things without integrity (诚实) possibly twists the truth.
    10. Poor communication and interpersonal skills. They have trouble speaking effectively, building relationships and following up.
    Networking is a process that is an investment of time and money. If you find you're doing any of these habits, consider learning how to improve on these and maximize your results while networking. You'll start to get better at connecting with people and obtain more referrals.
    小题1:This passage is meant for people who ______.
    A．want to do more businesses
    B．often take instead of giving
    C．have poor communication and interpersonal skills
    D．want to improve their interpersonal relationship
    小题2:According to the second habit, we shouldn't ______ when we are networking.
    A．sell thingsB．talk about dollars
    C．pay attention to money onlyD．shake hands with everyone
    小题3:When talking with others, you should ______.
    A．give out your cards and brochures every now and then
    B．talk about the quality of your product as much as possible
    C．interrupt others when they make a mistake
    D．let other people express themselves completely
    小题4:Which of the following is NOT correct about a salesman's behavior?
    A．He offers too much self­promotion during the conversation.
    B．He considers carefully when he can get what he expects.
    C．He only focuses on one opportunity when networking.
    D．He keeps his promises and doesn't expect too much from others.

    小题1:D
    小题2:C
    小题3:D
    小题4:A

    试题分析：本文叙述了与人建立人际关系的10个不好的习惯：1.缺乏耐心；2.不停地“卖”东西；3.选择太多；4.经常换工作；5.缺乏礼貌和尊重；6.乱发名片和销售文化；7.只关注自己；8.只“自己说”而不“给别人机会”；9.缺少可靠性和个人价值；10.缺少交流和人际关系的技巧。
    小题1:推理判断题。根据第一段的If you're networking (建立人际关系) and nothing is happening, you might need to evaluate how you're doing it.如果你正在建立人际关系但却什么也没有发生,你可能需要评估你所做的事。从中可以推测本文是写给那些想要提高他们的人际关系的人。故选D。
    小题2:推理判断题。根据第四段的They see dollar signs every time they shake hands with someone. 他们每次跟别人握手，只看到了钱。从中可知我们建立人际关系时，不应该只看到了钱，利益。故选C。  
    小题3:推理判断题。根据第十段的They don't realize what other people sense when they are being very selfish. 当他们非常自我的时候，他们没有意识到别人感觉。
    从中可知跟别人交谈时，不要只顾自己说，应让别人表达一下自己的想法。故选D。
    小题4:推理判断题。第九段的Too much self­ promotion can leave the other person to feel unappreciated. 太多的自我促销会让对方觉得不受赏识。所以Too much self­ promotion是不对的。故选A。

    How many times do you have to fail at something in order to succeed? Did you know that Thomas Edison failed 10,000 times while trying to invent the light bulb? He certainly had a “learn and do” attitude! He was able to turn each failed experiment into a successful way to invent the light bulb. So what can we learn from this? You can adopt the “fail forward” strategy too.
    In reality, none of us are failures. It’s true that we will experience times of defeat, problems, and disasters, but remember, each one of us is meant to succeed in life. However, we must choose our fate. Henry David Thoreau said, “Men are born to succeed, not to fail.”
    We can never be forced into having a happy and successful life. Whether or not you experience success or failure is completely controlled by what you think and do. You are the only one who can choose the thoughts that will keep you from achieving the abundant life and joy that you are meant to have. No matter how difficult things may seem, say to yourself, “I choose to be a happy and successful person.”
    Why do some people get what they want and others fail? I believe that getting what you desire in life takes planning, and it doesn’t just happen by luck. So how do we plan for success?
    It has been proven that successful people do things more differently than unsuccessful people. They recognize the patterns of success and follow them; one of those patterns is planning. They plan what they think and do, which sets them apart. They know exactly what they desire, have an intelligent plan for getting it, and then work their plan. They know what success will cost them in terms of time, energy, and results, and they devote the right resources toward making their plans happen.
    小题1:The writer refers to Thomas Edison to ________.
    A．introduce his invention
    B．put forward the topic of the text
    C．praise the inventor
    D．show the way to success
    小题2:What Henry David Thoreau said implies that ________.
    A．everyone is able to be a success
    B．most people lack the confidence to succeed
    C．everyone can do nothing but succeed in his life
    D．no one can succeed without difficulty and suffering
    小题3:The main idea of the last two paragraphs is that ________.
    A．planning plays an important role in success
    B．successful people differ from unsuccessful ones
    C．successful people have many patterns of success
    D．devoting the right resources can help reach one’s goal
    小题4:Which of the following would match the text?
    A．All roads lead to Rome.B．Think twice before you act.
    C．No pains, no gains.D．Failure is the mother of success.

    To get a chocolate out of a box requires a lot of unpacking: the box has to be taken out of the paper bag in which it arrived, the cellophane (玻璃纸) wrapper has to be torn off, the lid opened and the paper removed, the chocolate itself then has to be unwrapped from its own piece of paper. But this overuse of wrapping is not limited to luxuries. It is now becoming increasingly difficult to buy anything that is not done up in beautiful wrapping.
    The package itself is of no interest to the shopper, who usually throws it away immediately. Useless wrapping accounts for much of the refuse put out by the average London house-hold each week. So why is it done? Some of it, like the cellophane on meat, is necessary, but most of the rest is simply competitive selling. This is absurd. Packaging is using up valuable energy and resources and polluting the environment.
    Recycling is already happening with milk bottles which are returned to the dairies (牛奶场）, washed out, and refilled. But both glass and paper are being threatened by the growing use of plastic. More dairies are experimenting with plastic bottles.
    The trouble with plastic is that it does not rot. Some environmentalists argue that the only solution to the problem of ever increasing plastic containers is to throw away plastic altogether in the shops, a suggestion unacceptable to many producers who say there is no alternative (替代品) to their handy plastic packs.
    It is evident that more research is needed into the recovery and re-use of various materials and into the cost of collecting and recycling containers rather than producing new ones. Unnecessary packaging, intended to be used just once, and to make things look better so more people will buy them, is clearly becoming increasingly absurd. But it is not so much a question of throwing away packaging as using it wisely. What is needed now is a more advanced approach to using scarce resources for what is, after all, a relatively unimportant function.
    小题1:The underlined part “this overuse of wrapping is not limited to luxuries” in Paragraph l means ______.
    A．more wrapping is needed for ordinary products
    B．the wrapping used for luxury products is unnecessary
    C．more wrapping is used for luxuries than for ordinary products
    D．too much wrapping is used for both luxury and ordinary products
    小题2:Why is packaging important to producers?
    A．It is easy to use it again.
    B．Packaged things will not go rotten.
    C．They want to attract more shoppers.
    D．Shoppers are all interested in beautiful packaging.
    小题3:According to the passage, dairies are ______.
    A．reusing their paper containers
    B．giving up the use of glass bottles
    C．increasing the use of plastic bottles
    D．experimenting with the use of paper bottles
    小题4:Some environmentalists think that ______.
    A．too much plastic is wasted
    B．shops should stop using plastic containers
    C．no alternative can be found to plastic packaging
    D．plastic packaging should be made more convenient

    We are fortunate to be living in a time when all people have the ability to access any knowledge they desire. This digital society that we live in affords us opportunities that our ancestor only dreamed of having. We should not take this privilege for granted.
    In the not so distant past of the 1950s, people who wanted to research an idea, a product, or anything else, had to go to a library where they could look up information in books. Not all people had the same access to the books, and the information they contained. In America, if your skin was black, you could not use the same library that a person with white skin used. If a black skinned person was allowed access to a library, it most likely was stocked with outdated books that white skinned people had discarded.
    In the digital society we live in today, the color of your skin does not determine the access you have to information. Technology has brought to us the powerful tools like the Internet where we can find information on almost every subject.
    Access to the Internet has allowed us to research the things we are planning to purchase. We are capable of comparing prices on things like insurance, appliances, entertainment, clothing, and all other things. We also now have the ability to purchase items online without ever leaving our homes. We have been freed from the restrictions of store hours, and regional sales. A person in America can purchase a product from a person in Germany, without leaving home.
    Because of the digital society we live in our children can learn about anything they are interested in. When they ask you what the dinosaurs ate, you can look it up, and tell them the answer. Because of this people will be smarter in the future, and technology will only improve.
    小题1:By “We should not take this privilege for granted”, the writer means that ______.
    A．we have special right to do anything
    B．it is wrong to make use of the privilege
    C．knowledge is important in the digital society
    D．we should seize the chances the modern society offers
    小题2:The main idea of the fourth paragraph is that ______.
    A．the Internet brings us a lot of convenience
    B．people in modern society are mostly wealthy
    C．we would like to stay at home every day
    D．we can find anything we like in the world
    小题3:The dinosaurs are mentioned in the last paragraph in order to tell us that _____.
    A．people will be much clever than ever
    B．what the dinosaurs ate seems strange to us
    C．finding out what the dinosaurs looked like is easy
    D．we can learn knowledge with the help of technology
    小题4:The writer’s attitude toward the digital society is ______.
    A．criticalB．positiveC．neutralD．negative

    Humans have sewn by hand for thousands of years. It was said that the first thread was made from animal muscle and sinew. And the earliest needles were made from bones. Since those early days, many people have been involved in the process of developing a machine that could do the same thing more quickly and with greater efficiency.
    Charles Wiesenthal, who was born in Germany, designed and received a patent on a double-pointed needle that eliminated the need to turn the needle around with each stitch(缝合) in England in 1755. Other inventors of that time tried to develop a functional sewing machine, but each design had at least one serious imperfection.
    Frenchman Barthelemy Thimonnier finally engineered a machine that really worked. However, he was nearly killed by a group of angry tailors when they burned down his garment factory. They feared that they would lose their jobs to the machine.
    American inventor Elias Howe, born on July 9, 1819, was awarded a patent for a method of sewing that used thread from two different sources. Howe’s machine had a needle with an eye at the point, and it used the two threads to make a special stitch called a lockstitch. However, Howe faced difficulty in finding buyers for his machines in America. In frustration, he traveled to England to try to sell his invention there. When he finally returned home, he found that dozens of manufacturers were adapting his discovery for use in their own sewing machines.
    Isaac Singer, another American inventor, was also a manufacturer who made improvements to the design of sewing machines. He invented an up-and-down-motion mechanism that replaced the side-to-side machines. He also developed a foot treadle(脚踏板) to power his machine. This improvement left the sewer’s hands free. Undoubtedly, it was a huge improvement of the hand-cranked machine of the past. Soon the Singer sewing machine achieved more fame than the others for it was more practical, it could be adapted to home use and it could be bought on hire-purchase. The Singer sewing machine became the first home appliance, and the Singer company became one of the first American multinationals.
    However, Singer used the same method to create a lockstitch that Howe had already patented. As a result, Howe accused him of patent infringement（侵犯）. Of course, Elias Howe won the court case, and Singer was ordered to pay Howe royalties（版税）. In the end, Howe became a millionaire, not by manufacturing the sewing machine, but by receiving royalty payments for his invention.
    小题1:Barthelemy Thimonnier’s garment factory was burned down because _____________.
    A．people did not know how to put out the fire
    B．Elias Howe thought Thimonnier had stolen his invention
    C．the sewing machines was couldn’t work finally
    D．workers who feared the loss of their jobs to a machine set fire
    小题2:Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?
    A．Singer is an American inventor and manufacturer.
    B．The Singer sewing company became more practical.
    C．The foot treadle helped to make the sewer’s hands free.
    D．Singer made improvements to the design of sewing machines.
    小题3:Why did the court force Isaac Singer to pay Elisa Howe a lifetime of royalties?
    A．Because the judge was against Singer for his surly attitude.
    B．Because Howe had already patented the lockstitch used by Singer.
    C．Because Singer had borrowed money from Howe and never repaid it.
    D．Because Singer and Howe had both invented the same machine.
    小题4:Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?
    A．Stitch in Time Saves Nine
    B．The Case between Howe and Singer
    C．Patent Laws on the Sewing Machine
    D．The Early History of the Sewing Machine

    Dogs can know the meaning of a human perspective, say researchers.
    Dogs are more capable of understanding situations from a human's point of view than has previously been recognized, according to researchers.
    They found dogs were four times more likely to steal food they had been forbidden, when lights were turned off so humans in the room could not see.
    This suggested the dogs were able to alter their behavior when they knew their owners' perspective had changed.
    The study, published in Animal Cognition, conducted tests on eighty-four dogs.
    The experiments had been trying to find whether dogs could make their behavior suitable to react to the changed circumstances of their human owners. It wanted to see if dogs had a "flexible understanding" that could show they understood the viewpoint of a human.
    It found that when the lights were turned off, dogs in a room with their human owners were much more likely to disobey and steal forbidden food.
    The study says it is "unlikely that the dogs simply forgot that the human was in the room" when there was no light. Instead it seems as though the dogs were able to differentiate between when the human was unable or able to see them.
    Juliane Kaminski carried out the research into how dogs are influenced by human circumstances.
    Dr Juliane Kaminski, from the University of Portsmouth's psychology department, said the study was "incredible because it implies dogs understand the human can't see them, meaning they might understand the human perspective".
    Previous studies have suggested that although humans might think that they can recognize different expressions on their dogs' faces, this is often inaccurate and a projection of human emotions.
    “Humans constantly attribute(归属) certain qualities and emotions to other living things. We know that our own dog is clever or sensitive, but that's us thinking, not them,” said Dr Kaminski.
    “These results suggest humans might be right, where dogs are concerned, but we still can't be completely sure if the results mean dogs have a truly flexible understanding of the mind and others' minds. It has always been assumed only humans had this ability.
    小题1:According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
    A．The researchers made the test on dogs in eighty-four countries.
    B．Dogs always obey and don’t steal forbidden food.
    C．Dogs may adapt their behavior in response to the changed circumstances.
    D．The research is carried out to find out how dogs are influenced by light.
    小题2:Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?
    A．Dogs---Our Loyal Companions Understand Us Most.
    B．Dogs Are Our Best Friends.
    C．Dogs Can Understand Us In a Way, Researchers Say.
    D．Dogs Have Certain Qualities and Emotions of Human Beings, Researchers Say.
    小题3:Where can we probably read this kind of articles?
    A．Textbooks.B．Advertisements.C．Instructions.D．Magazines.
    小题4:This passage can be classified as     .
    A．an argumentative writingB．a feature story

    For centuries, magicians have used various ways to shock the audience. We all have seen how a   36  performer carefully steps   37  a bed of burning coals -- barefoot. Then he walks across   38  a single burn on his feet. Is it mind over matter, or is it just physics? As it turns   __39 , walking on burning coals isn’t that hot as   40 . “The coals are hot enough to   41__  you, but if you walk quickly across them you   42  being burned.” says Jonathan Hall, a physician at Penn State University in Eric Pennsylvania.
    That’s because some coals are made   43   burning wood chips. Wood has two   44__   properties（特性）for fire-walking, explains Hall. First, wood is an insulator（绝缘体）--it doesn’t   __45  heat very well. “It   46 _ time for heat to travel   47  the wood to your feet.” Hall says. If the performer walked across red-hot metal   48 , that would truly be   49 , because metal conducts, or transmits, heat very well. The metal would   50  burn a performer’s feet.
    Second, wood has a low specific heat-- it doesn’t take much heat to   51  its temperature. Heat is a form of   52 . Temperature is a   53  of heat, in units of degrees.

    “A very destructive seven-year old child kicked my legs and scratched at my hand,” said one teacher. “I broke up a fight and was kicked,” said another. Many people have heard stories like this. But the situation is more worrying still and it involves parents.
    Every child, regardless of the circumstances into which they are born, has the right to achieve their potential, regardless of their parents’ wealth and class. And we recognize that, as a nation, it is a long way to achieve this goal. But rights come with responsibilities and what worries people is that we are in danger of neglecting the latter.
    Far too many children are behaving badly at school, even to the point of being violent to staff. This is terrible enough，but it is hard to be surprised since many children are just mirroring the behavior of their parents. Too many are starting school unable to hold a knife and fork, unused to eating at a table，and unable to use the lavatory properly.
    We are in danger of becoming a nation of families living separate lives under one roof. The bedroom, once a place to sleep, has become the living space for the young. Spending hours in front of computer screens, on social networking sites or being immersed in computer games, children and young people spend little time with their parents. Parents are unable to monitor just what their children are watching.
    Schools cannot right the wrongs of society and teachers cannot become substitute parents. Both parties need to work together. Parents must be helped and given confidence to take back control. They are responsible for setting boundaries for their children’s behavior and sticking to those boundaries when the going gets tough. They are responsible for setting a good example to their children and for devoting that most precious of resources---time---so that children come to school ready and willing to learn.
    小题1:What problem do people ignore in the writer’s opinion?
    A．The school violence
    B．The pressure of students’ learning
    C．The right to achieve students’ potential
    D．Students’ responsibilities
    小题2:The writer’s attitude to the behaviors of parents may be that of        .
    A．dissatisfactionB．sympathyC．understandingD．tolerance
    小题3:The underlined part in Paragraph 4 may mean        .
    A．children don’t live with their parents in the same room
    B．parents care little about children’s life at home
    C．children spend little time with their parents at home
    D．parents attempt to establish a good relationship with their children
    小题4:From the last paragraph,we can infer that      .
    A．school can’t correct the wrongs that society does to teachers
    B．teachers have no responsibility for playing the role of parents
    C．parents should spend time with children making them ready to learn
    D．students are responsible for making themselves known in society
    小题5:What is the main idea of the passage?
    A．Children’s behavior at school is worrying people
    B．Parents expect schools to correct their children’s bad habits
    C．There is no point in parents’teaching children at home
    D．Don’t blame teachers when it’s parents who are failing
