In order to improve relationship with others, you need to be aware of several sensible ways to complain.   1 , you need to be specific. Don’t say, “Boy, did you   2 like a fool at the party?” Instead, say, “You embarrassed me by getting   3 and loud and telling offensive jokes to my parents.” Secondly, stick to the present. Don’t mention old offences from last month or last year. By doing this, you   4 attention from the problem at hand. Moreover,   5 you complain, don’t add insults. If you start calling the other person names, that will   6 create anger and hurt any chance of getting the person to really   7 you. A last point to remember is to complain privately. Never criticize the other person in front of friends, parents, children, or anyone else, for that   8 . Criticizing in front of a third party has the same effect as   9 . This shames the person being criticized and makes it very likely that the person will want to attack you orally rather than listen to you.
Sensible ways to Complain:
Be specific
Stick to the present

Complain privately

本文作者論述怎樣發(fā)牢騷，在生活中我們不要直接的朝別人抱怨，要講究方法，作者給我們提出幾條建議，大家不妨試試。
小題1:考查語境的理解。從上下文分析知道，這里是作者提到的第一個(gè)建議，所以用To start with表示“首先”；frankly speaking坦白地說；anyway無論如何, 總之；needless to say不必說。
小題2:考查形動(dòng)詞詞意辨析和語境的理解。從語境知道表示在宴會上的行為，表現(xiàn)。
小題3:。考查形容詞詞意辨析和語境的理解。從上文說道的宴會和下文的不禮貌舉止，知道是喝醉了。
小題4:考查動(dòng)詞詞組意思辨析和語境的理解。take away 取走；set off出發(fā), 動(dòng)身, 使爆炸, 引起,；draw up草擬, 停��；catch up追上, 吸住。從語境知道，當(dāng)談?wù)摤F(xiàn)在的事情時(shí)，最好不要涉及到以前的事，因?yàn)槟菢訒稚κ诸^上事情的注意力。
小題5:考查連詞詞意辨析和語境的理解。從上下文知道這里表示時(shí)間，即：當(dāng)抱怨時(shí)，不要侮辱人。
小題6:考查副詞詞意辨析和語境的理解。如果你在抱怨時(shí)，開口罵對方，將僅僅增加憤怒和失去別人聆聽你的話的機(jī)會。
小題7:考查動(dòng)詞詞組意思辨析和語境的理解。綜合上文，這里表示“聽”。
小題8:考查固定搭配和語境的理解。for that matter (="for" the matter of that)關(guān)于那一點(diǎn), 就此而言, 對此, 就那件事而論。
小題9:考查名詞詞意辨析和語境的理解。在第三者面前批評別人等于在罵他。
小題10:考查語境的理解。這里是對上文建議的總結(jié)，從整體文章的大意以及上面的總結(jié)：形式要特殊；只說現(xiàn)在的事情；私下抱怨，可以推測這里是說“不要有辱罵性的語言”。

"Can I get a light?" This question is among the most common between smokers. What if this question was to come from an unusual source? In April 2014, the National Health Promotion Foundation uploaded an anti-smoking advertisement onto YouTube. The anti-smoking ad has quickly been known as the "most powerful anti-smoking ad."
The anti-smoking video, called the "Smoking Kid," features children walking up to adult smokers asking for a light. The children in the ad are actors but the adults smoking are unsuspecting participants in the project.
The video begins with the statement "adults know that smoking is harmful, but don’t remind themselves of this fact " Once a "smoking kid" approaches the adults, every adult asked is shocked that a child with a cigarette in hand is asking for a light. The first adult starts by saying, "I’m not giving it to you," and the video goes on to state "every adult filmed said no and reminded the children that smoking is bad."
Before going away, the kid hands each adult a booklet after being turned down for a light. The booklet says, "You worry about me, but why not about yourself?" Each adult looks around for the child as their faces are filled with confusion and discomfort.
The video shows that a few of the smokers quickly threw away their cigarettes or put their cigarettes away, showing that this experiment was affective at that moment.
The most influential element in the ad isn't the use of children or the responses from the smoking adults. It comes down to something much simpler than that. Why is it that we worry about other people, forgetting to worry about ourselves?
小題1: According to the text, the anti-smoking ad is ______.
A．unusualB．shockingC．influential D．encouraging
小題2:The underlined word "unsuspecting" (in Para. 2) probably means ______
A．uninformed B．unwillingC．unfortunate D．unacceptable
小題3: What are the adults，reactions to the children asking for a light?
A．They pay no attention to children's request.
B．They reject kids，request and educate them.
C．They look around for children's parents.
D．They quickly throw children's cigarettes away.
小題4:The best title of the text might be ______.
A．Give up smoking, for your own sake B．Keep away from smoking, adults
C．Tell your children not to smokeD．Reject a child asking for a light

I am a writer. I spend a great deal of my time thinking about the power of language—the way it can evoke(喚起) an emotion, a visual image, a complex idea, or a simple truth. Language is the tool of my trade. And I use them all—all the Englishes I grew up with.
Born into a Chinese family that had recently arrived in California, I’ve been giving more thought to the kind of English my mother speaks. Like others, I have described it to people as “broken” English. But feel embarrassed to say that. It has always bothered me that I can think of no way to describe it other than “broken”, as if it were damaged and needed to be fixed, as if it lacked a certain wholeness. I’ve heard other terms used, “l(fā)imited English,” for example. But they seem just as bad, as if everything is limited, including people’s perceptions(認(rèn)識)of the limited English speaker.
I know this for a fact, because when I was growing up, my mother’s “l(fā)imited” English limited my perception of her. I was ashamed of her English. I believed that her English reflected the quality of what she had to say. That is ,because she expressed them imperfectly her thoughts were imperfect. And I had plenty of evidence to support me: the fact that people in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, did not give her good service, pretended not to understand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her.
I started writing fiction in 1985. And for reasons I won’t get into today, I began to write stories using all the Englishes I grew up with: the English she used with me, which for lack of a better term might be described as “broken”, and what I imagine to be her translation of her Chinese, her internal(內(nèi)在的) language, and for that I sought to preserve the essence, but neither an English nor a Chinese structure: I wanted to catch what language ability tests can never show; her intention, her feelings, the rhythms of her speech and the nature of her thoughts.
小題1:By saying “Language is the tool of my trade”, the author means that ______.
A．she uses English in foreign tradeB．she is fascinated by languages
C．she works as a translatorD．she is a writer by profession
小題2:The author used to think of her mother’s English as ______.
A．impoliteB．a(chǎn)musing C．imperfectD．practical
小題3:Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 3?
A．Americans do not understand broken English.
B．The author’s mother was not respected sometimes.
C．The author’ mother had positive influence on her.
D．Broken English always reflects imperfect thoughts.
小題4:The author gradually realizes her mother’s English is _____.
A．well structured B．in the old style
C．easy to translate D．rich in meaning
小題5:What is the passage mainly about?
A．The changes of the author’s attitude to her mother’s English.
B．The limitation of the author’s perception of her mother.
C．The author’s misunderstanding of “l(fā)imited” English.
D．The author’s experiences of using broken English.

More than 10 years ago, it was difficult to buy a tasty pineapple (菠蘿). The fruits that made it to the UK were green on the outside and, more often than not, hard with an unpleasant taste within. Then in 1966, the Del Monte Gold pineapple produced in Hawaii first hit our shelves.
The new type of pineapple looked more yellowy-gold than green. It was slightly softer on the outside and had a lot of juice inside. But the most important thing about this new type of pineapple was that it was twice as sweet as the hit-and-miss pineapples we had known. In no time, the Del Monte Gold took the market by storm, rapidly becoming the world’s best-selling pineapple variety, and delivering natural levels of sweetness in the mouth, up until then only found in tinned pineapple.
In nutrition (營養(yǎng)) it was all good news too. This nice tasting pineapple contained four times more vitamin C(維生素C) than the old green variety. Nutritionists said that it was not only full of vitamins, but also good against some diseases. People were understandably eager to be able to buy this wonderful fruit. The new type of pineapple was selling fast, and the Del Monte Gold pineapple rapidly became a fixture in the shopping basket of the healthy eater.
Seeing the growing market for its winning pineapple, Del Monte tried to keep market to itself. But other fruit companies developed similar pineapples. Del Monte turned to law for help, but failed. Those companies argued successfully that Del Monte’s attempts to keep the golden pineapple for itself were just a way to knock them out the market.

Is crying good therapy? Experts say yes. Having a good weep at the weekend is becoming more popular among office workers in China.
“I need to cry to let my feeling out,” said 22-year-old Guo Meng, a smart-looking young woman. “I remember one day when I got home I felt so down but I had no one to talk to, so I just curled up(蜷縮) with my teddy bear and cried myself to sleep,” Guo said. The next day, she said, she felt much better and life seemed not so bad after all.
Because crying is taken as a sign of weakness, people make a great show of being strong and not displaying emotion. Psychologists and medical practitioners agree that crying is beneficial for mental health but people still regard it as a sign of failure and bottle up their feelings. A famous Chinese author once said to cry is normal, and even brave. Those who display their emotions can deal with their troubles bravely after the tears dry, while those who soldier on let problems fester（惡化）.
In the Chaoyang district of Beijing, there is a special place for people to cry their sadness out. It is called “Cry Bar”. On the door of each of its “cry rooms” there is a saying encouraging people to let the tears flow freely.
“Crying is a kind of therapy, but it needs some direction,” said Milulu, a psychologist.
“People should realize the point of crying is to relieve pressure, but some of the young people who come to the Cry Bar simply sit and weep. The purpose of crying is to make it easier to improve your life after the tears dry, not to get lost in bad memories.”
Crying is only one way of relieving pressure, and we need to face problems squarely and solve them once the tears have dried, said Mululu.
小題1:Crying _____ made Guo Meng feel better.
A．with some friendB．a(chǎn)ll the night with a toy
C．during her sleepD．in bed before sleep
小題2:According to the third paragraph, people usually make great efforts to_____.
A．get rid of their sadnessB．bottle up their feelings
C．a(chǎn)ct on psychologists’ adviceD．face their troubles bravely
小題3:What should the customers do at the Cry Bar?
A．Think of every sad experience they’ve had and cry
B．Keep crying as loudly as long as possible.
C．Satisfy any desire to cry and weep until it is gone.
D．Hold back their tears until they can’t help but cry.
小題4:From the text, we can learn that crying ____.
A．is to relieve pressureB．must help to solve problems
C．means facing problems squarelyD．can’t weaken sad feelings.
