    In the professional world, oral communication skills in the workplace, which is the art of using speech to convey information, thoughts and feeling to others, is important for the success of any organizations.
    The 21st century has been considered to be an era of communication. The way we convey our thoughts is of great importance in building relationships. In the workplace, there are employees of diverse cultural and educational backgrounds. This makes team working on a difficult task, but with a clear understanding of the task to be achieved, all members work towards the same goal. Misunderstandings, conflicts and differences in opinions are easily managed when there is a clear flow of communication between team members.
    With proper communication, a close relationship and trust build among the employees, therefore promoting excellent working conditions. An atmosphere of support and cooperation is promoted by properly conveying expectations of the management team to the employees and vice – versa (相反的情况). Therefore, developing oral communication skills is important to success in life ahead.
    How to improve oral communication? In the business world, individuals are expected to be confident about their beliefs and ideas. Therefore, they must include words like “in my opinion”, “as far as I know”. While improving skills on oral communication, people in a workplace must learn the art of listening. In addition, one must also have a positive body language during conversations. A person with a smiling face and positive attitude can raise the spirits of everyone around him. When we’re talking to someone, we must give the other person an opportunity to talk as it improves our listening ability.
    Communication is an art and it can be improved by working on it constantly. Since it is not an overnight work, one needs to learn it by observing people who are good at it.

    Expressions about water are almost as common as water itself.
    The expression to be in hot water is a very old expression. Hot water was used five hundred years ago to mean being in trouble. One story says it got that meaning from the custom of throwing extremely hot water down on enemies attacking a castle.
    That no longer happens. But we still get in hot water. When we are in hot water, we are in trouble. It can be any kind of trouble—serious or not so serious. A person who breaks a law can be in hot water with the police. A young boy can be in hot water with his mother, if he walks in the house with dirty shoes.
    Beingin deep water is almost the same as being in hot water. When you are in deep water, you are in a difficult position.
    To keep your head above water is a colorful expression that means staying out of debt. A company seeks to keep its head above water during economic hard times. A man who loses his job tries to keep his head above water until he finds a new job.
    Water over the dam is another expression about a past event. It is something that is finished. It cannot be changed. The expression comes from the idea that water that has flowed over a dam cannot be brought back again.
    Another common expression to hold water, is about the strength or weakness of an idea or opinion that you may be arguing about. It probably comes from a way of testing the condition of a container.; If it can hold water, it is strong and has no holes in it. If your argument can hold water, it is strong and does not have any holes.
    Throwing cold water also is an expression that deals with ideas or suggestions. It means to not like an idea. For example, you want to buy a new car because the old one has some problems. But your wife throws cold water on the idea, because she says a new car costs too much.
    小题1:If Robert says he is in deep water, we may guess_________.
    A．he is swimming under the water
    B．he is tired of changing shoes
    C．he nearly breaks a law
    D．he faces a difficult choice
    小题2:What can you say to your friend Jane, who is troubled by a mistake she has made?
    A．Keep your head above water.
    B．Throw cold water.
    C．It is water over the dam.
    D．It can hold water.
    小题3:If your argument doesn’t hold water, then it is _________.
    A．weakB．convincingC．logicalD．disappointing
    小题4:The passage explains the origins of the following expressions EXCEPT_________.
    A．to be in hot water
    B．to keep your head above water
    C．water over the dam
    D．to hold water

    If your boss asks you to work in Moscow this year, he’d better offer you more money to do so — or even double that depending on where you live now．That’s because Moscow has just been found to be the world’s most expensive city for the second year in a row by Mercer Human Resources Consulting．
    Using the cost of living in New York as a base, Mercer determined Moscow is 34．4 percent more expensive including the cost of housing, transportation, food, clothing, household goods and entertainment．
    A two-bedroom flat in Moscow now costs $4,000 a month; a CD $24．83, and an international newspaper $6．30, according to Mercer．By comparison, a fast food meal with a hamburger （汉堡包） is a steal at $4．80．
    London takes the No．2 place, up from No．5 a year ago, thanks to higher cost of housing and a stronger British pound relative to the dollar．Mercer estimates （估算） London is 26 percent more expensive than New York these days．Following London closely are Seoul and Tokyo, both of which are 22 percent more expensive than New York, while No．5 Hong Kong is 19 percent more costly．
    Among North American cities, New York and Los Angeles are the most expensive and are the only two listed in the top 50 of the world’s most expensive cities．But both have fallen since last year’s study — New York came in 15th, down from 10th place, while Los Angeles fell to 42nd from 29th place a year ago．San Francisco came in a distant third at No．54, down 20 places from a year earlier．
    Toronto, meanwhile, is Canada’s most expensive city but fell 35 places to take 82nd place worldwide．In Australia, Sydney is the priciest place to live in and No．21 worldwide．
    小题1:What do the underlined words “a steal” in Paragraph 3 mean?
    A．an act of stealing B．something delicious
    C．something very cheap D．an act of buying
    小题2:London has become the second most expensive city because of ______．
    A．the high cost of clothing
    B．the stronger pound against the dollar
    C．its expensive transportation
    D．the high prices of fast food meals
    小题3:Which city is the third most expensive on the list?
    A．Tokyo．B．Hong Kong．C．Moscow．D．Sydney．

    Do you know soon eleven biggest food and drink companies of the nations will adopt new rules to limit advertising to children under the age of 12, a move that restricts ads for products such as McDonald’s Happy Meals and the use of popular cartoon characters.
    The companies announced their new rules ahead of a Federal Trade Commission hearing on Wednesday that steps up pressure on the companies to help solve the growing child obesity problem through more responsible marketing. The self-given rules include promises by seven companies who will no longer use licensed characters, such as those made popular through movies or TV shows, to advertise online or in print media unless they’re promoting their healthier products. Four other companies said they do not advertise at all to children under 12.
    “I think this is a very good step forward. It’s not the end of the journey but it’s a good way down the road,” said Margo Wootan, Nutrition Policy Director at the nonprofit Center for Science in the Public Interest.
    Since the FTC first publicly raised the issue in 2005, many of the companies have started selling products with better nutrition in mind. The companies hope their self-regulation efforts — organized through the Council of Better Business Bureaus — will fend off any new and more strict federal regulation.
    Parents are happy to see new rules that restrict the use of cartoon characters such as Shrek, Dora the Explorer and SpongeBob SquarePants. “It catches their eyes when you’re shopping,” said Josephine Thomas, a mother of three boys who lives in Manhattan. “As soon as they see a Shrek or Mickey Mouse, they automatically look at that and they don’t see what they really need. That’s one of the biggest problems when you go shopping.” That’s one reason the food companies have said they will now only use licensed characters to advertise their “better for you” products.
    小题1:The reason why the food and drink companies will take action is that they want to___________
    A．promote sales across the country
    B．limit advertising to children under the age of 12
    C．meet increasing demands from kids
    D．adapt to the new federal regulations
    小题2:What can we learn from the text that the seven companies ____.
    A．may still use cartoon characters in advertising
    B．are going to stop advertising to children under 12
    C．Would like to continue the cooperation with entertainment media
    D．will make food and drink specially for fat kids
    小题3:What of the following can best describe the underlined words “fend off”?
    A．prevent ... from happeningB．draw up or work out
    C．pay attention toD．give a warm welcome to
    小题4:What does Josephine Thomas advise in the last paragraph?
    A．kids spend too much on unhealthy food
    B．parents are strict about their kids’ food choice
    C．“better for you” products are popular with kids
    D．ads with cartoon characters mislead kids

    Winter is dangerous because it’s so difficult to know what is going to happen and accidents take place so easily. Fog can be waiting to meet you over the top of a hill. Ice might be hiding under the melting (融化) snow, waiting ahead to send you off the road. The car coming to you may suddenly slip（滑） across the road.
    Rule No.1 for driving on icy roads is to drive smoothly (平稳地). Sudden movements can make a car very difficult to control. So every time you either start or stop your car, increase or reduce your speed, you must be as gentle and slow as possible. Suppose you are driving with a full cup of hot coffee on the seat next to you. Drive so that you wouldn’t spill (溅) it.
    Rule No.2 is to pay attention to what might happen. The more ice there is, the further down the road you have to look. Test how long it takes to gently stop your car. Remember that you may be driving more quickly than you think. Generally, allow twice of your usual stopping distance when the road is wet, three times this distance on snow than usual, and even more on ice. Try to stay in control of your car at all time and you will not get into trouble.
    小题1:The writer tries to _____ in this passage.
    A．show his dislikes about bad winter weather
    B．give information about winter weather
    C．ask people not to drive in winter
    D．advise people about safe driving in winter
    小题2:According to the passage, the writer thinks that _______.
    A．people should not drive in the snow
    B．drivers should think more about problems in winter driving
    C．people drive too fast in winter
    D．winter drivers should stop their cars less
    小题3:In the passage the writer talks about a cup of coffee ______.
    A．to show how important smooth movements are
    B．to ask the drivers to bring some soft drinks with them
    C．to tell the drivers to be more relaxed
    D．to show how it can be spilled
    小题4:Which of the following is NOT true?
    A．Traffic accidents take place easily in winter.
    B．Fog and melting snow often cause car accidents.
    C．The stopping distance on ice is as long as the usual one.
    D．In winter you should drive your car with great care.
