17.Walking up to a stranger and starting a conversation matters much to making new friends.Making small talk can also lead to important business relationships,but it takes confidence,preparation and practice.Do it well,and people will feel relaxed with you and enjoy your company.So how can you learn the art of small talk?
Before you go to a business convention(正式會議)or other social situation,prepare three things that you can talk about.They can be something in the news,a good movie or a popular sports team's recent win.Then you have a topic to start with when you meet a new person.Also,don't wait for someone to approach  you.Look for someone who is standing alone,and start a conversation.Try a simple statement that you share something in common:"The food looks delicious."Or There sure are a lot  of people here."Then introduce yourself,"Hi,I'm Helen.(Hold out your hand for a handshake.) I just moved here,and I love this weather."
After you start a conversation,keep it going.Instead of asking questions that can be answered with a yes or no,ask open-ended questions like,"What do you think of the meeting?"It's time to move on once you've made a good impression.Be bright(smart and cheerful),be brief(don't talk too long),and be gone(there are more people to meet).
Use a goodbye line.To someone you enjoyed meeting at a gathering,say,"I really must be going,but it was really nice to meet you.Here's my card."If they hand you their card,be sure to show interest in it.Read it over briefly,and then put it in your pocket to show that it is valued.
Making small talk will open doors to meeting many interesting people.When you show an interest in others,they become interested in talking to you.Listening carefully and remembering a fascinating(迷人的)bit of information about each person will come in use if you meet again.

7.Many strong and out-of-control emotions are recognized as an illness.People who are always very sad have depression (抑郁癥); those who worry a lot have anxiety.
But what about anger problems?Anger is largely viewed as a secondary emotion-one caused by other emotions.People are thought to be angry because they are sad,anxious or stressed.In the past,many doctors didn't accept the idea that anger could be a problem all on its own.
Today,though,a growing number of mental health experts think that anger is a serious problem that needs its own treatment.
How to tell the difference between"normal"anger and"anger problem"is difficult.After all,everyone gets really mad from time to time.Experts point out a few ways.
Disordered anger,as it is sometimes called,tends to be of greater intensity (強度).It takes very little to set off a person with an anger problem,and their responses (反應(yīng)) are very strong.An example:While most people would get upset if a driver cut them off,someone with disordered anger might try to chase down the car and force it off the road.
And in cases of disordered anger,the person gets angry more frequently and his/her anger lasts longer.For most people,angry feelings disappear quickly.But people with anger problems often stay angry for days,weeks or even years; their feelings of anger don't disappear over time.Consequences 
 are also important to consider:Disordered anger often damages people's lives."It interferes (干擾) with people's relationships and their jobs,"says Raymond Chip Tafrate,a US psychologist."Even their health is affected."
Anger clearly increases the risk of certain health problems,as many studies have shown."When a person is angry,their heart beats faster and their blood pressure goes up,"says Howard Kassinove,a professor at Hofstra University in New York.Over time,these changes take their toll on the body,he adds.
Experts suggest that people with an anger problem take anger-management programs.The programs teach people to control their responses to stressful situations through the use of relaxation techniques.The programs sometimes include life-skills training as well:increasing someone's level of competence (競爭)-whether on the job or as a parent or partner-helps bring down stress and cut angry feelings.

57.A person whoA most possibly has disordered anger in the experts'opinion?
A.can't get out of anger quickly
B.is dissatisfied with relationships
C.has high blood pressure
D.is worried about his job
58.What does the underlined word Consequences  mean?B
A.Responses.
B.Effects.
C.Reasons.
D.Feelings
59.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?C

B.Anger was recognized as an illness by most doctors in the past.
C.A person with an anger problem gets angry more often and easily.
D.The use of relaxation techniques is the best way to manage anger.
60.What is the best title of the passage?A
A.Can anger be an illness?
B.Is it disordered anger?

12.Our spiritual intelligence quotient,SQ (精神智商)helps us understand ourselves and live fuller,happier lives.
While we're all born with SQ,most of us even don't know that we have it.Luckily,you don't have to sign up for classes to learn how to enhance(加強) your SQ.Here are some simple steps that can lead you to this new level of understanding:
Sit Quietly.The step of developing SQ begins in solitude (獨處) and silence.To tune in to its whisper,you have to keep away from your busy,noisy,complicated life and make yourself do nothing at all.At home,for example,shut the door of your bedroom,take a few deep breaths and let them out very,very slowly.
Step Outside.For many people,nature makes their spirit free.Go outside to watch a beautiful sunset.Follow the flight of a bird; watch clouds floating overhead.
Find An Activity You Enjoy.It's important to find a hobby that helps you tune in to yourspirit.Garden,walk or jog,arrange flowers,listen to music that touches your soul.
Ask Questions Of Yourself.Some people use their thoughtful time to focus on scriptures (經(jīng)文).Others ask open-ended (無確定答案的) questions,such as"What am I feeling?What are my choices?"But don't expect an answer to arrive through  some super-natural form of e-mail.Later that day you'll suddenly find yourself thinking about a problem from a perspective (角度) you never considered before.
Trust Your Spirit.While most of us rely on gut feelings (直覺) to warn us of danger,SQ usually nudges (漸漸推動) us,not away from,but toward some action that will lead to a greater good.

57.To enhance your SQ,you should firstB.
A.stand loneliness and silence
B.make your life simpler and less busy
C.give up the daily things in your life
D.listen more to your whisper
58.The underlined phrase"tune in to your spirit"in the fifth paragraph probably meansA.
A.get your spirit relaxed                      
B.keep up your spirit
C.listen to your spirit                         
D.change your spirit
59.What will happen after people ask questions of themselves?B
A.People will lead to a greater good.
B.People will think about a problem in a different way.
C.People will expect answers through e-mails.
D.People will keep away from their busy life.
60.What is the best title for the passage?C
A.Advantages and disadvantages of SQ
B.The relationship between your SQ and you
C.What SQ is and in what ways it can be improved
D.What SQ is and in what ways you can make your life easier.

9.In Britain,people often invite friends for a meal,a party or just coffee.People who know each other very well-close friends,family or neighbors-visit each other's houses without an invitation(邀請),but usually an invitation is needed.When people invite someone to their homes,they often say,"Would you like to come for dinner on Saturday?"Answers are:"Thanks.We'd love to.What time?"or"I'm sorry.We'd love to but we have tickets for the concert."However,it is not polite to say"No,we wouldn't!"
Sometimes,the British use expressions(表達) that sound like invitations but which are not invitations.For example,"You must come over for a drink sometime."or"Let's go out for a meal one of these days."These are usually just polite ways of ending a talk.They are not real invitations because they don't mention(提及)a certain time or day.They just show that the person is trying to be friendly and the answers are,"Yes,that would be nice."or"OK,yes,thanks."
