Fun things to do in high school

Learn another language

Your school might be holding foreign languages classes, so this is a great way to start your language learning journey! If you want more self-paced learning, apps like Duolingo are easily accessible (可使用的) on our mobile phones. As our world becomes more interconnected, it’s always good to learn another language or two.

Aim for a semester (学期) of straight A

This can be a difficult task but not impossible to achieve, as long as you put in the right amount of work and effort. If you are struggling(挣扎)with your grades, you can host or join group studies with your classmates!

Don’t be disheartened if you are not able to get an A in a semester. What’s important is having the drive to go forward. As a famous person once said, “He who would climb a ladder must begin at the bottom.

Experience another culture

Culture and tradition are something that all humans share. No matter where we come from, we always bring our culture with us. People coming from different cultures may be among your friends or neighbors.

You can go to a museum, read a book, or try new food in your area. Remember to keep an open mind and take the time to learn about them.

Bring a shareable treat to class

If you know your way around the kitchen, you can impress your class by making and bringing them a delicious treat! Not only will this make their stomachs happy, but you’ll also bond (联系) the whole class together. Just don’t forget to check with your teacher first before bringing one.

21. What should you do if you want to learn a language at your own speed?

A. Go to a museum to read books.     B. Attend another language class.

C. Learn it on an app like Duolingo. D. Join group studies with your classmates.

22. What’s the key if you can’t get an A in a semester?

A. Keeping an open mind.         B. Asking your teachers for help.

C. Changing your study method.     D. Having the drive to go forward.

23. What will probably be the result if you bring a treat to class?

A. Experiencing different cultures.             B. Making your teacher angry and anxious.

C. Making some students have a stomachache. D. Making your classmates happy and united.

B

How you move and gesture says as much about you as what comes out of your mouth.

Jenny Smith, 34, an assistant vice-president at a bank in New York, was interviewing a large number of candidates(候选人)for a position which required a person with good communication skills.

One candidate in particular stood out, but not in a good way. While she could have been very intelligent, her body language sent out very different messages. Her handshake was more of a finger shake, and her eye contact was weak.

To Jenny, what the candidate said didn’t matter because her body language said everything: she wasn’t suitable for the position. The candidate may have been quite appropriate, but she didn’t manage to get that across. So our body language may not do us justice. But there are some signals which are very common and are worth a thousand words.

For example, a handshake can say much more than “Hello, nice to meet you ” The most important part of a handshake is palm-to-palm(掌对掌) contact. It’s even more important than how strong your handshake is. The palm-to-palm contact makes people seem honest: it seems to say “I am sincere(真诚的).” A weak handshake — when the palms don’t touch - makes you seem unfriendly, insincere.

But people sometimes use body language to give each other the wrong impression. Somebody who has a firm handshake may be pretending to be sincere, and somebody with a weak handshake may just be a bit shy and nothing more.

Body language can also be overdone. While eye contact gives an impression of friendliness, too much eye contact or eve contact which is too intense (强烈的）can make people feel uncomfortable.

24. Why did the candidate fail to get the job?

A. She wasn’t clever enough.

B. Her body language was improper.

C. She said something wrong.

D. Her attitude was bad.

25. What should you do when you shake someone’s hand?

A. Hold his hand with great strength.

B. Make frequent eye contact.

C. Say something sincere.

D. Make palm-to-palm contact.

26. What can we learn about body language from paragraph 6?

A. It may give other people the false opinion.

B. It is much More important than what you say.

C. It tells other people what you are really like.

D. It is ignored by most people.

27. What is the main purpose of the text?

A. To stress body language’s role in job-hunting.

B. To Show why handshakes are important.

C. To introduce body language.

D. To explain what communication skills are.
