If you’re worried about being a self-centered person, that shows you’ve already taken an important step towards change. Here is a useful list of simple things you can try that can help you focus (聚焦) less on yourself and more on the needs of others. Even small changes in your daily life can make a big difference!
Focus on listening instead of talking. Give others your full attention and really hear them out. Self-centered people often make conversations go around themselves and they are easy to get bored when the focus isn’t on them. If this sounds like you, you can break that habit! Give others a chance to speak and do your best to show that you’re really listening.
Put yourself in someone else’s shoes. Imagining yourself in their situations helps you understand them better. If your friends are telling you about something that happened to them, you can try to ask yourself how you’d feel and what you’d need if you were them. Then, keep those things in mind when you reply to your friend.
Use fewer “I” and “me” sentences. Don’t always want to talk about yourself in every conversation. You can’t focus on anyone else if you’re always talking about yourself. Try to actively lower the number of “I” and “me” sentences you make in daily conversations. Studies show that talking about yourself less often can make you happier and healthier, so try to remind yourself of that.
28. How can you focus on listening instead of talking?
A. Never be bored with others. B. Let others hear you out carefully.
C. Give others a chance to speak and really hear them. D. Always make the conversations go around others.
29. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 means ________.
A. others’ shoes are more comfortable B. care about others’ feelings and needs
C. others’ situations are better than yours D. care about their replying to your questions
30. What’s the passage mainly about?
A Ways to stop being self-centered. B. Ways to make others like you.
C. A small change can make a big difference. D. You should change your habit as soon as possible.
C
Over the last few centuries, there have been many changes in our lives.
People were not able to travel such a long distance in such a short time in the past. Planes were no very popular at that time because they used to be a very expensive way to travel. Nowadays, more and more people can travel by plane and they can take many other fast and comfortable vehicles.
In the past, people had to work much harder because they did not have the technology we have today. Today, most of the difficult and dangerous work is done by computers and machines.
The living conditions in the past were not as good as they are now. There were no bathrooms or running water in many houses, and many people could not buy things like refrigerators, TV sets or washing machines, Now, most families have all of these things.
Conversations have become much easier than before. In the past, we kept in touch with others by writing letters, but now we have many other ways to choose from, such as making a phone call, sending e-mails or messages and chatting online. Moreover, we can even see the people whom we are making a phone call to through mobile phones, and we can see each other while chatting online. The most surprising thing is that we can make a phone call to the astronauts and see them when they are in space. What a magical thing!
Thanks to the technology, especially the Internet, our lives have become much easier and happier than before. I’m sure they will become more wonderful in the future. Don’t you think so?
31. What does the underlined word “vehicles” mean in Paragraph 1?
A. tools used for transportation. B. tools used for invention.

VIII. Reading expression. (2*5=10)
Read the passage and answer the questions.
Why should you set goals? Setting goals is really important because it helps us shape our lives and guide us towards what we want. Goals are like a map, showing us the way to reach our goals. They turn our lives from something happening to us into something we control.
Successful people know what they want in the life and set goals to make it happen. The goals can tell them where to go and how to get there. With the goals, it’s easier to face the challenges in the life because they know where they’re going. Imagine two drivers on a trip. The wise driver knows exactly where he is going. He can drive straight there and make right decisions along the way. The stupid driver doesn’t know where they’re going. He starts from the same place but drives around aimlessly. Which driver would you like to be?
People who win in the life understand the power of setting and working towards goals. They know that success isn’t just lucky, it comes from hard work and clear goals. People who aren’t successful often let go of their life.
Setting goals isn’t as hard as it sounds. The key is to find out what’s important to us. Studies show that writing down our goals makes them much nearer to reach. Writing down our goals often helps us remember them and gives us courage to work towards our goals.
36. Why are goals like a map?
__________________________________
37. Which driver has no clear goal?
__________________________________
38. What do unsuccessful people often do?
__________________________________
39. How can you make the goals much nearer to reach in the text?
__________________________________
40. If you need to set a goal in study, what will it be?
__________________________________
IX. Situational communication. (2*5=10)
(Kate and Jenny are talking about playing the violin.)
Kate: Wow, nice music! Jenny, I didn’t know you could play the violin.
Jenny: You didn’t?
Kate: No, I didn’t. ____41____
Jenny: I started to learn to play the violin when I was ten.

If you’re worried about being a self-centered person, that shows you’ve already taken an important step towards change. Here is a useful list of simple things you can try that can help you focus (聚焦) less on yourself and more on the needs of others. Even small changes in your daily life can make a big difference!
Focus on listening instead of talking. Give others your full attention and really hear them out. Self-centered people often make conversations go around themselves and they are easy to get bored when the focus isn’t on them. If this sounds like you, you can break that habit! Give others a chance to speak and do your best to show that you’re really listening.
Put yourself in someone else’s shoes. Imagining yourself in their situations helps you understand them better. If your friends are telling you about something that happened to them, you can try to ask yourself how you’d feel and what you’d need if you were them. Then, keep those things in mind when you reply to your friend.
Use fewer “I” and “me” sentences. Don’t always want to talk about yourself in every conversation. You can’t focus on anyone else if you’re always talking about yourself. Try to actively lower the number of “I” and “me” sentences you make in daily conversations. Studies show that talking about yourself less often can make you happier and healthier, so try to remind yourself of that.
28. How can you focus on listening instead of talking?
A. Never be bored with others. B. Let others hear you out carefully.
C. Give others a chance to speak and really hear them. D. Always make the conversations go around others.
29. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 means ________.
A. others’ shoes are more comfortable B. care about others’ feelings and needs
C. others’ situations are better than yours D. care about their replying to your questions
30. What’s the passage mainly about?
A. Ways to stop being self-centered. B. Ways to make others like you.
C A small change can make a big difference. D. You should change your habit as soon as possible.

Conversations have become much easier than before. In the past, we kept in touch with others by writing letters, but now we have many other ways to choose from, such as making a phone call, sending e-mails or messages and chatting online. Moreover, we can even see the people whom we are making a phone call to through mobile phones, and we can see each other while chatting online.

VIII. Reading expression. (2*5=10)
Read the passage and answer the questions.
Why should you set goals? Setting goals is really important because it helps us shape our lives and guide us towards what we want. Goals are like a map, showing us the way to reach our goals. They turn our lives from something happening to us into something we control.
Successful people know what they want in the life and set goals to make it happen. The goals can tell them where to go and how to get there. With the goals, it’s easier to face the challenges in the life because they know where they’re going. Imagine two drivers on a trip. The wise driver knows exactly where he is going. He can drive straight there and make right decisions along the way. The stupid driver doesn’t know where they’re going. He starts from the same place but drives around aimlessly. Which driver would you like to be?
People who win in the life understand the power of setting and working towards goals. They know that success isn’t just lucky, it comes from hard work and clear goals. People who aren’t successful often let go of their life.
Setting goals isn’t as hard as it sounds The key is to find out what’s important to us. Studies show that writing down our goals makes them much nearer to reach. Writing down our goals often helps us remember them and gives us courage to work towards our goals.
