Asking sincere questions,listening to others'answers and following up on those answers may be the casiest and most powerful pathway to shared understandingand interpersonalcoBoomerasking ruins the magic,however.Failing to follow uponyourpartner's answer,and answering thequestionyoursef insted makes others feel like you don't eare about them-and probably didn'tcare about them when you asked the question to begin with. So don't boomerask!While sharing about yourself feels good and can bring us closer,when another person shares their perspective,focus on them.We should all aim to be more interested in our partners before we go back to proving how interesting we are ourselves. 高三英语试花第7页共8页 第Ⅱ卷（共40分）》 IV.Translation Directions:Translate the following sentences into English,using the words given in the brackets 52.不要因为一次失败的尝试，就放弃你的目标，(gve) S3.这位知名作家推荐的书广受追捧，现已售格，(0) 54.这座北方冰城而对突如其来的大批游客，一时无所适从。，(number) 55.当你知道这些交通工具和旅行线路背后的故事，你一定会惊叹人类一直以来是多么富有冒险精神。 (amazed) V.Gulded Writing Directions:Write an English composition in 120-150 words according to the instructions given below in Chinese. 假设你是明启中学高三学生李明。你想报考某外地大学，因为该枚有你心仪的专业，且该专业在全 国排名领先，但遭到了父母的反对。写一封信给你的父母，争取他们的支持（信中请不要出现真实的校 名和人名)。内容须包括： 1)你的意驱： 2)你的理由，
