Suggestions for Shyness
People always have different feelings. Among them is shyness. It means feeling frightened when you are around other people. Some children were born shy. Some become very shy later because of life experience. In fact, everyone gets a little shy sometimes. It depends on how shy you are. If shyness doesn’t stop you from doing something you want to do, being shy isn’t a big problem.
Most of the time, shyness is caused by people’s worry about what other people think of them, so shy people often find it very difficult to meet new people. This fear has bad effects on their work life, social life and love life. The following suggestions may be helpful for shy people.
Find ways to relax when you go out. When you are old enough, consider drinking a glass of wine before heading out for the night. Talk with your friend or family member to help yourself calm down (平静).
Look best when you go out. Wear something that makes you feel confident and comfortable. Listen carefully when people speak. Shy people sometimes think that meeting new people means having to do a lot of talking. You can ask simple questions and then listen to the answers. People love to feel like other people are listening to them and sharing their point of view.

Asking for information politely is an important skill in daily life. Whether you are talking to strangers, writing emails, or making phone calls, being polite can help you get the information you need and leave a good impression. Here are some useful tips.
Always use polite words like “please,” “thank you,” and “excuse me.” These words show respect and make the other person feel valued. For example, instead of saying “Where is the post office?”, you can say, “Could you please tell me where the post office is?”
Use soft and friendly language. Avoid sounding too direct or demanding. Instead of saying “I want to know…”, try saying “I was wondering if you could help me with…” This sounds more polite and gives the other person a choice to help.
Be clear about what you need. Before asking, think carefully about the information you want. This helps the person understand your question better and give you a useful answer.
Remember to listen carefully. After you ask a question, give the person time to respond. Don’t interrupt when they are speaking. Show that you are interested by nodding or smiling.
Always thank the person after they help you. A simple “Thank you so much for your help!” can make them feel happy and willing to help you again in the future.
By following these tips, you can ask for information in a polite and effective way.
1.What polite words should you use when asking for information?
2.How can you make your language sound softer and less direct?
3.What should you think about before asking?
4.How should you show your interest when others are speaking?
5.Imagine you need to ask a stranger for directions to the nearest bus stop. How would you ask politely? (Your answer should be different from the examples in the text.)
【答案】1.“Please,” “thank you,” and “excuse me.” 2.Avoid saying “I want to know…” and try saying “I was wondering if you could help me with…” 3.We should think carefully about the information we want before asking. 4.By nodding or smiling. 5.Excuse me, could you please tell me which way to the nearest bus stop?
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了在日常生活中礼貌询问信息的重要性,并提供了一系列实用技巧,如使用礼貌用语、采用温和友好的语言、明确需求、认真倾听以及表达感谢等,帮助人们礼貌且有效地获取信息。
1.根据“Always use polite words like ‘please,’ ‘thank you,’ and ‘excuse me.’”可知,询问信息时应使用 “please”(请)、“thank you”(谢谢)和 “excuse me”(打扰一下)这些礼貌用语。故填“Please,” “thank you,” and “excuse me.”
2.根据“Avoid sounding too direct or demanding. Instead of saying ‘I want to know…’, try saying ‘I was wondering if you could help me with…’”可知,想要让语言更柔和、不那么直接,应避免使用“我想知道……”这类表达,而是尝试说“我想知道您是否能帮我……”。故填Avoid saying “I want to know…” and try saying “I was wondering if you could help me with…”
3.根据“Before asking, think carefully about the information you want.”可知,提问前应仔细考虑自己需要什么信息。故填We should think carefully about the information we want before asking.
4.根据“Show that you are interested by nodding or smiling.”可知,当别人说话时,你可以通过点头或微笑来表现出自己的兴趣。故填By nodding or smiling.
5.本题为开放性问题,需符合 “礼貌询问” 的要求,且与文中例子不同。答题思路:先使用“excuse me”开启对话,再用“could you please…”的委婉句式询问去最近公交站的路线。故填Excuse me, could you please tell me which way to the nearest bus stop?

When you are telling someone how to get to some places, you should know how to give good directions. In fact, giving directions is harder than just telling someone how to get to a certain place. Let’s learn how to guide others better.
First, tell the person about important landmarks (地标) instead of directing him from beginning to end. It will let the person know if he’s still on the way you advised him to take.
If you can’t describe the route (路线) clearly in words, draw a map. A map allows the person to imagine where he’s going. You can also include details (细节), such as the location of landmarks, on your map. Also, the map can give the person something to hold on to, so he won’t forget your directions.
Although it might be convenient to give someone directions to your favorite shortcut (近路), it could increase the chance of getting lost. Instead, give the simplest directions. When considering the simplest route, choose ones with fewer turns, even if the person takes a bit longer, or pick routes where the person can stay on one road for a long time. Also, don’t suggest routes you haven’t taken before.
Finally, don’t rush when giving directions. Take time to explain important details, such as possible dangers. If you don’t speak slowly or clearly, the person may miss important information. At the same time, don’t use words, expressions, or names that only locals know.
1.Is giving directions as easy as telling someone how to get to a certain place?
2.Why is it a good way to tell the person about important landmarks when giving directions?
3.What kind of routes are not suggested?
4.If someone asks you for directions impolitely, would you give him directions? Why?
【答案】1.No, it isn’t./No. 2.Because it lets the person know if he’s still on the way you advised him to take. 3.Routes with many turns, shortcuts, or routes you haven’t taken before. 4.开放性试题,言之有理即可。参考答案为:Yes, because helping others is more important than their manners.
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何更好地为他人指路,包括使用地标、绘制地图、选择简单路线以及耐心解释等技巧。
1.根据第一段“In fact, giving directions is harder than just telling someone how to get to a certain place.”可知,指路比单纯告诉某人如何到达某个地方更难。故填No, it isn’t./No.
2.根据第二段“It will let the person know if he’s still on the way you advised him to take.”可知,提及重要地标可以帮助对方确认是否仍在正确路线上。故填Because it lets the person know if he’s still on the way you advised him to take.
3.根据第四段“When considering the simplest route, choose ones with fewer turns… Also, don’t suggest routes you haven’t taken before.”可知,应避免推荐转弯多、近路或未亲自走过的路线。故填Routes with many turns, shortcuts, or routes you haven’t taken before.
4.开放性试题,言之有理即可。参考答案为:Yes, because helping others is more important than their manners.

Our country now has 450,000 volunteers. They provided more than 4.5 billion hours of volunteer work. Someone says that for students, this kind of work isn’t meaningful and wastes time. But I think that we can get much from it.
First of all, volunteering is a good way to open our eyes. We may do something we never do and meet different kinds of people. We can talk with them and get their good ideas.
Secondly, volunteers, especially students can learn much from practice. As students, we are interested in books and learn some knowledge from it. After we become volunteers, we will have the chance to put our knowledge into practice.
What’s more, volunteering is good for our future job. That is to say, when we take part in other jobs for free, we can get some experience and know how to solve some problems we never met before. In a word, volunteering is a form of practice and experience. We shouldn’t say no to it.

Tina is a hard-working junior high school student. She studies hard, follows the rules at school, and does whatever her parents, teachers and even friends tell her to do. She seems to be used to saying “yes” to everything, but Tina is not always happy about this. She hopes she can say “no”, but she doesn’t know how to refuse others politely. To solve her problem, she asked her friends for help. Here’s some advice she got from three friends online.
Tom
Tina, don’t feel stressed to give an answer right away. It’s perfectly good to pause (停顿) and say something like, “Let me check my plan.” or “I need to ask my parents first.” This simple way gives you a moment to think clearly and decide what you truly want to do, without the stress of someone waiting for your reply.
Sandy
Tina, remember that you are always allowed to say no. You do not need to explain everything. A polite and short refusal (拒绝) is complete and effective (有效的). For example, you can just smile and say “No, thank you,” or “Not this time, but thanks for asking.” This is clear and respectful. And this way can protect your own time and energy.
Jim
You don’t need a long or complicated (复杂的) excuse. Often, being honest is the kindest and easiest way. You can simply show how you feel, for example: “I am feeling too tired,” or “I have too much homework to do.” This helps the other person understand your situation without you having to make up a story.

2.What does Tina hope to do?
3.What do Tina’s three friends advise her to do?

Because it allows Tina to think about what she truly wants to do without pressure, avoiding going against her will due to a hasty response.

阅读下面短文,简略回答问题。
Recently, I started to use an app to keep a record of my running. Each run, I wanted to go a little farther, run a little faster and burn more calories (卡路里). Last night I finished an 8.3-km run in 46 minutes and burnt 468 calories. In comparison, my run two days ago was 8.6 km in 46 minutes with 483 calories burnt. This inner self-comparison left me feeling disappointed. I became so focused on the numbers that I forgot to consider what I achieved.
These tiny differences in numbers kept me away from the bigger picture: how did I actually feel after completing my most recent run? Well, honestly, I was completely tired out. What good is running to beat your top score if you don’t feel on top?
We should exercise for the purpose of building our confidence. And working out harder and faster may serve that purpose. But confidence building comes with being able to do more in our day-to-day life, experiencing less pain and more freedom in movement, and feeling good after a workout. Fitness should help us with our quality of life, the ability to sleep, and good memory, among other things. Fitness should not just come with the eagerness for the success in numbers.
In our busy lives, we only have limited time for fitness. When we do physical exercise, we should value what feels good over what looks or sounds good. Sometimes what serves us and our health is coming home and doing a light workout, like going on a short bike ride. Sometimes what serves us is simply going to sleep at 9:30 p.m. instead of forcing ourselves into a workout. Apps of this kind are a great way for us to keep an eye on our health. But don’t read into the numbers to the point where you lose out on feeling proud that you are taking care of yourself. So my advice is: when you do physical exercise, make sure you feel good about yourself over feeling good about the numbers.
1.Why did the writer start to use the app?
2.What did the writer forget to consider when he became too focused on the numbers?
3.According to the writer, what should be our purpose of doing exercise?
4.Why are apps of this kind a great way for us?
5.When you do physical exercise, which do you think is more important: feeling good about yourself or feeling good about the numbers? Why?
【答案】1.To keep a record of his running. 2.What he achieved. 3.Building our confidence. 4.To keep an eye on our health. 5.Feeling good about myself. Because doing exercise is to keep us healthy and build our confidence. (答案合理即可)
【导语】本文主要介绍了作者反思过度关注运动数据带来的负面影响,强调运动的目的是提升生活质量,而非仅仅追求数字上的进步。
1.根据“Recently, I started to use an app to keep a record of my running.”可知,作者使用APP是为了记录跑步数据,故填To keep a record of his running.
2.根据“I became so focused on the numbers that I forgot to consider what I achieved.”可知,作者因过度关注数字而忽略了自身的实际成就,故填What he achieved.
3.根据“We should exercise for the purpose of building our confidence.”可知,锻炼的目的是增强自信,故填Building our confidence.
4.根据“Apps of this kind are a great way for us to keep an eye on our health.”可知,此类APP的作用是帮助关注健康状况,故填To keep an eye on our health.
5.开放性问题,答案合理即可。参考答案为:Feeling good about myself. Because doing exercise is to keep us healthy and build our confidence.

Many people find good friends but they fail to continue with their friendship because they do not know their role as a friend. Let us see some important points that we should take care of if we wish to be a good friend for someone.
Be a secret admirer (崇拜者) of your friend: If your friend is good at something, then do not praise him just in front of him. Praising a person for what he is good at does not improve his qualities. Sometimes, it may even do harm to your friend if you overdo it. A good friend should never miss an opportunity to praise his friend in front of others when he is not around.
Pull your friend away from making mistakes: If your friend is doing something wrong, it is your duty to let him know it at the earliest. Keep in mind that a best friend has to play a role of critic (批评家) if he wants his friend to stop doing wrong things. But remember not to show your friend’s mistakes in front of other people. It will spoil (损害) your friend’s image in others’ view. And besides, your friendship will be in danger. Sometimes, it is important to understand your friend’s intentions (意图) behind his actions and try to analyze (分析) the situation, and only then should you give your opinion.
Try to understand your friend: It is always important to understand what your friend is worried about or what problems he is facing. Always try to understand the situation your friend is in and try to calm him. It is obvious (明显的) that if people have some problems, they will not speak up their problems to their brothers or sisters. They will instead tell everything to their friends. Let your friend speak up. Just listen to him and be with him until your friend feels better.
Try to teach good things: If you are a true friend, you should never give your hungry friend a fish. Instead, you should teach him how to fish. This will give your friend food for lifetime. A good friend will never wish his friend to be dependent on someone.
Do not interfere (妨碍): The most important point that one should take care of is that your friend has his own life and you should not interfere in his life. You have a right to tell your friend what is good and what is bad, but you do not have a right to make someone do what you wish.
Hope this will help you out and solve some of your problems you are facing in friendship.
1.Why do many people fail to continue with their friendship?
2.How should you praise a friend?
3.Who do people usually speak up to when they have problems?

If shyness doesn’t stop you from doing something you want to do, being shy isn’t a big problem.

Shy people sometimes think that meeting new people means having to do a lot of talking. You can ask simple questions and then listen to the answers. People love to feel like other people are listening to them and sharing their point of view.

Asking for information politely is an important skill in daily life. Whether you are talking to strangers, writing emails, or making phone calls, being polite can help you get the information you need and leave a good impression. Here are some useful tips.
Always use polite words like “please,” “thank you,” and “excuse me.” These words show respect and make the other person feel valued. For example, instead of saying “Where is the post office?”, you can say, “Could you please tell me where the post office is?”
Use soft and friendly language. Avoid sounding too direct or demanding. Instead of saying “I want to know…”, try saying “I was wondering if you could help me with…” This sounds more polite and gives the other person a choice to help.
Be clear about what you need. Before asking, think carefully about the information you want. This helps the person understand your question better and give you a useful answer.
Remember to listen carefully. After you ask a question, give the person time to respond. Don’t interrupt when they are speaking. Show that you are interested by nodding or smiling.
Always thank the person after they help you. A simple “Thank you so much for your help!” can make them feel happy and willing to help you again in the future.
By following these tips, you can ask for information in a polite and effective way.
1.What polite words should you use when asking for information?
2.How can you make your language sound softer and less direct?
3.What should you think about before asking?
4.How should you show your interest when others are speaking?
5.Imagine you need to ask a stranger for directions to the nearest bus stop. How would you ask politely? (Your answer should be different from the examples in the text.)

When you are telling someone how to get to some places, you should know how to give good directions. In fact, giving directions is harder than just telling someone how to get to a certain place. Let’s learn how to guide others better.
First, tell the person about important landmarks (地标) instead of directing him from beginning to end. It will let the person know if he’s still on the way you advised him to take.
If you can’t describe the route (路线) clearly in words, draw a map. A map allows the person to imagine where he’s going. You can also include details (细节), such as the location of landmarks, on your map. Also, the map can give the person something to hold on to, so he won’t forget your directions.
Although it might be convenient to give someone directions to your favorite shortcut (近路), it could increase the chance of getting lost. Instead, give the simplest directions. When considering the simplest route, choose ones with fewer turns, even if the person takes a bit longer, or pick routes where the person can stay on one road for a long time. Also, don’t suggest routes you haven’t taken before.
Finally, don’t rush when giving directions. Take time to explain important details, such as possible dangers. If you don’t speak slowly or clearly, the person may miss important information. At the same time, don’t use words, expressions, or names that only locals know.
1.Is giving directions as easy as telling someone how to get to a certain place?
2.Why is it a good way to tell the person about important landmarks when giving directions?
3.What kind of routes are not suggested?
4.If someone asks you for directions impolitely, would you give him directions? Why?
We may have an interview for our volunteer (志愿者) work. And the following suggestions will help make the interview a success.
Before the interview, we should do some research about the volunteer work. We can call the organization (组织) or visit its website (网站) to find out some information about it. It’s also important for us to think about what questions the interviewers may ask. It will help us to keep the interview going well.
When leaving for the interview, we must remember to take everything we need. And it’s important to be at the interview about 30 minutes early. It allows us to get ready for the interview.
Before we go into the interview room, we can take a deep breath (呼吸) to relax ourselves. When we hear someone ask us to go inside, we can enter the room. We should say hello to the interviewers with a smile and stand until they ask us to sit down.
In answering questions, we had better be confident to show our skills. It’s important to look into the interviewers’ eyes even if we are very nervous and shy. If we can’t understand the interviewers’ questions, it’s OK to ask the interviewers to explain them further.
Before the interview is over, the interviewers usually invite us to ask some questions. We can ask a question about the work or the interview. For example, “What kind of training do you offer to volunteers?” We need to thank the interviewers before we leave.
With these suggestions, we will have a good chance of getting volunteer work.

As we all know, the International Volunteer Day is December 5th every year. It started on December 17th, 1985. It’s a day to honor (尊重) volunteers all over the world.
Our country now has 450,000 volunteers. They provided more than 4.5 billion hours of volunteer work. Someone says that for students, this kind of work isn’t meaningful and wastes time. But I think that we can get much from it.
First of all, volunteering is a good way to open our eyes. We may do something we never do and meet different kinds of people. We can talk with them and get their good ideas.
Secondly, volunteers, especially students can learn much from practice. As students, we are interested in books and learn some knowledge from it. After we become volunteers, we will have the chance to put our knowledge into practice.
What’s more, volunteering is good for our future job. That is to say, when we take part in other jobs for free, we can get some experience and know how to solve some problems we never met before. In a word, volunteering is a form of practice and experience. We shouldn’t say no to it.
1.According to the passage, should we refuse to be a volunteer?
2.How long did the volunteers in China provide volunteer work?
3.What benefits (益处) does the writer get?
4.What do you think of being a volunteer? And why? (at least 2 reasons)
Tina is a hard-working junior high school student. She studies hard, follows the rules at school, and does whatever her parents, teachers and even friends tell her to do. She seems to be used to saying “yes” to everything, but Tina is not always happy about this. She hopes she can say “no”, but she doesn’t know how to refuse others politely. To solve her problem, she asked her friends for help. Here’s some advice she got from three friends online.
Tom
Tina, don’t feel stressed to give an answer right away. It’s perfectly good to pause (停顿) and say something like, “Let me check my plan.” or “I need to ask my parents first.” This simple way gives you a moment to think clearly and decide what you truly want to do, without the stress of someone waiting for your reply.
Sandy
Tina, remember that you are always allowed to say no. You do not need to explain everything. A polite and short refusal (拒绝) is complete and effective (有效的). For example, you can just smile and say “No, thank you,” or “Not this time, but thanks for asking.” This is clear and respectful. And this way can protect your own time and energy.
Jim
You don’t need a long or complicated (复杂的) excuse. Often, being honest is the kindest and easiest way. You can simply show how you feel, for example: “I am feeling too tired,” or “I have too much homework to do.” This helps the other person understand your situation without you having to make up a story.
1.Does Tina say “yes” to almost everything?
2.What does Tina hope to do?
3.What do Tina’s three friends advise her to do?
4.What do you think of the advice from Tina’s three friends? Why? Choose one to talk about.

Recently, I started to use an app to keep a record of my running. Each run, I wanted to go a little farther, run a little faster and burn more calories (卡路里). Last night I finished an 8.3-km run in 46 minutes and burnt 468 calories. In comparison, my run two days ago was 8.6 km in 46 minutes with 483 calories burnt. This inner self-comparison left me feeling disappointed. I became so focused on the numbers that I forgot to consider what I achieved.
These tiny differences in numbers kept me away from the bigger picture: how did I actually feel after completing my most recent run? Well, honestly, I was completely tired out. What good is running to beat your top score if you don’t feel on top?
We should exercise for the purpose of building our confidence. And working out harder and faster may serve that purpose. But confidence building comes with being able to do more in our day-to-day life, experiencing less pain and more freedom in movement, and feeling good after a workout. Fitness should help us with our quality of life, the ability to sleep, and good memory, among other things. Fitness should not just come with the eagerness for the success in numbers.
In our busy lives, we only have limited time for fitness. When we do physical exercise, we should value what feels good over what looks or sounds good. Sometimes what serves us and our health is coming home and doing a light workout, like going on a short bike ride. Sometimes what serves us is simply going to sleep at 9:30 p.m. instead of forcing ourselves into a workout. Apps of this kind are a great way for us to keep an eye on our health. But don’t read into the numbers to the point where you lose out on feeling proud that you are taking care of yourself. So my advice is: when you do physical exercise, make sure you feel good about yourself over feeling good about the numbers.
1.Why did the writer start to use the app?
2.What did the writer forget to consider when he became too focused on the numbers?
3.According to the writer, what should be our purpose of doing exercise?
4.Why are apps of this kind a great way for us?
5.When you do physical exercise, which do you think is more important: feeling good about yourself or feeling good about the numbers? Why?

Many people find good friends but they fail to continue with their friendship because they do not know their role as a friend. Let us see some important points that we should take care of if we wish to be a good friend for someone.
Be a secret admirer (崇拜者) of your friend: If your friend is good at something, then do not praise him just in front of him. Praising a person for what he is good at does not improve his qualities. Sometimes, it may even do harm to your friend if you overdo it. A good friend should never miss an opportunity to praise his friend in front of others when he is not around.
Pull your friend away from making mistakes: If your friend is doing something wrong, it is your duty to let him know it at the earliest. Keep in mind that a best friend has to play a role of critic (批评家) if he wants his friend to stop doing wrong things. But remember not to show your friend’s mistakes in front of other people. It will spoil (损害) your friend’s image in others’ view. And besides, your friendship will be in danger. Sometimes, it is important to understand your friend’s intentions (意图) behind his actions and try to analyze (分析) the situation, and only then should you give your opinion.
Try to understand your friend: It is always important to understand what your friend is worried about or what problems he is facing. Always try to understand the situation your friend is in and try to calm him. It is obvious (明显的) that if people have some problems, they will not speak up their problems to their brothers or sisters. They will instead tell everything to their friends. Let your friend speak up. Just listen to him and be with him until your friend feels better.
Try to teach good things: If you are a true friend, you should never give your hungry friend a fish. Instead, you should teach him how to fish. This will give your friend food for lifetime. A good friend will never wish his friend to be dependent on someone.
Do not interfere (妨碍): The most important point that one should take care of is that your friend has his own life and you should not interfere in his life. You have a right to tell your friend what is good and what is bad, but you do not have a right to make someone do what you wish.
Hope this will help you out and solve some of your problems you are facing in friendship.
1.Why do many people fail to continue with their friendship?
2.How should you praise a friend?
3.Who do people usually speak up to when they have problems?
4.What should you do when your friend asks you for help with his problem? Why?
