How to express yourself to others
Every person on the planet communicates in some fashion. And one of the hardest things to do when you're communicating with someone is expressing yourself. After all, words have the power to give life and death... especially in relationships. 1.
If you have a fear of people, people will avoid you. It's a vicious cycle（恶性循环）. You avoid people because you fear that they will hurt you. People see your coldness, and either think the worst （that you are stuck-up（傲慢的）），or satisfy your desire and leave you alone. 2. You'll have a hard time getting close to them when you bottle everything up inside. Your relationships will all be shallow.
Your inability to express yourself will haunt（萦绕于）you in time of trouble. You'll need help, and you'll want help, but you won't seek it. You'll hide. So, no one helps you. Then you grow bitter and angry. What's more, it can cause isolation. You build walls around your emotions and people consequently leave you alone. Gradually, your life will be empty. Life is relationships. 3.
However, reading will help you learn how other people express themselves. Pay attention to word usage, diction（措词）,flow, voice and tones. These will give you ideas of expressing yourself. 4. They'll provide you with many ways of expressing your emotions and help you express yourself better.
Besides, you can do some writing on your own. Start a novel. Write letters. Keep a journal or diary. You'll find that writing helps you to sort through your thoughts. Writing gives you focus and direction.
5. You can't catch it from someone who has it. It is the spiritual state of mind that is the direct result of fear. There is really only one type of fear and that is the fear of the unknown. Don't fear what other people think about you. Honestly, your imagination will create far worse imagination than what most people will ever think.
A.Social anxiety is not a disease.
B.That will make them feel needed.
C.So it is important that you learn to express yourself.
D.All of these factors have some relationship to happiness.
E.Look up words that you've never seen before and use them.
F.The stronger your relationships are, the more joy you'll have in life.
G.When you can't open up to people, they will feel that you are unapproachable.

The word "OK" is the most frequently spoken all-purpose expression on the planet — and it's turning 176 years old on March 23, 2015. The term was born during a 19th-century abbreviation(缩写) craze and went on to international fame with its own hand gesture.
Last year, Henry Nass, a 64-year-old retired English teacher, a New Yorker, had spent the last few weeks handing out cards championing "Global OK Day" in advance of the coming anniversary.
"No matter where people are from they use the word 'OK,' but they don't know where it comes from," says Nass. "The problem is because it's just, you know, OK."
The word is OK, perhaps, but its history is definitely better than average. Late etymologist Allen Walker Read traced the two-letter word to 1839, when editors at the Boston Morning Post signed off on articles as “all correct” with a simple word “OK”.
The word made it into print on March 23 of that year, in an article against a rival editor in Providence who had stated wrongly that a band of Bostonians heading to New York would pass through the Rhode Island capital (Providence).
"We said not a word about our team passing 'through the city' of Providence," the Morning Post reported. "O.K. — all correct."
The humor of the Providence-Boston joke has been lost to history — but the word OK took off from there, soon connoting(隐含) agreement, acceptance, averageness, quality or likability.
By 1840, it served as a slogan for President Martin Van Buren's unsuccessful reelection campaign. “Old Kinderhook is OK,” posters stated, a reference to the eighth president's birthplace and his supporters' belief in his satisfactory performance.
1.Why did Henry Nass hand out cards?
A. To let people understand the history of the word “OK”.
B. To call on people to use the word “OK” properly.
C. To appeal to people to celebrate OK Day.
D. To attract people’s attention.
2.What does the author want to convey in Paragraph 4?
A. The history of the word “OK” is known to average people.
B. The history of the word “OK” is unfamiliar to people.
C. People frequently use the word “OK” in history.
D. People are fond of the word “OK” in history.
3.What does the underlined phrase “took off” in Paragraph 7 probably mean?
A. Got off B. Set up
C. Moved off D. Became popular
4.We can learn from the text that Kinderhook is of the eighth American president.
A. the name B. the birthplace
C. the policy D. the belief

Ever wondered how one person could save the planet from the effects of climate change?
A British-made computer game on trial release on Monday creates different ways of doing just that．
“Fate of the World”puts the Earth’s future in players’ hands, placing them in charge of an international environmental body which could save the world from the effects of rising greenhouse gas emissions（排放）or let it destroyed by more emissions．
Through different scenes, players can explore options such as geoengineering（地球工程） and alternative energy sources to save the planet from rising temperatures, decreasing natural resources and a growing population over the next 200 years．
An improved version of the game will be followed by a three-month feedback period from players, with final release due in February next year．
Created by Oxford-based games developer Red Redemption, the game is different from other mainstream action games mainly by using data from real climate models and advice from scientists and economists．
“Science data is often inaccessible and we are trying to put players in a position of power and connected with the issues,” Gobion Rowlands, Red Redemption’s founder and chairman said．
This year, a series of apparent errors in climate science and the failure of UN talks to reach an international deal to cut greenhouse gas emissions appeared to weaken the public’s interest in climate change．
However, games centered on sustainability（持续性）and human rights have been growing in popularity and are welcomed by green groups as a way of raising awareness．
Using climate change as inspiration for entertainment shows the issue has affected global culture, which can only be a good thing．Friends of the Earth's head of climate Mike Childs said.“We need creative industries to work with these big issues as the results can be extremely powerful and can help us to understand what a sustainable future looks and feels like,”he added．
1.“Fate of the World” in the passage refers to________．
A．a book on computer games B．a company developing computer games
C．a computer game on climate change D．a player in charge of computer games
2.What makes the climate computer game different from the other games?
A．It uses data from real climate models and advice from experts．
B．It is the only computer game about climate．
C．It can save the planet from the effect of climate change．
D．It aims to affect the global culture．
3.It can be concluded from the passage that ________．
A．games on sustainability and human rights are very popular among young players
B．the game increases players’ awareness of environmental protection
C．only computer experts can play the new climate computer game
D．after a three-month feedback period from players, the new game is on sale now
4.Which of the following can NOT the players experience while playing the new game?
A．Challenging the climate change in an unreal world
B．Understanding what a sustainable future looks and feels like
C．Enjoying the power to decide the earth’s fate
D．Predicting what will happen in 200 years
5.In which column of a newspaper can you probably read this article?
A．Weather & Climate B．Science & Technology
C．Life & Entertainment D．Sports & Culture

Blue Planet II’s latest episode (剧集) focuses on how plastic is having a devastating effect on the ocean and slowly poisoning our sea creatures. Researchers recently also found that sea creatures living in the deepest place on Earth, the Mariana Trench, have plastic in their stomachs. Indeed, the oceans are drowning in plastics.
Though it seems now that the world couldn’t possibly function without plastics, consumer plastics are a remarkably recent invention. The first plastic bags were introduced in the 1950s, the same decade that plastic packaging began gaining in popularity in the United States. This growth has happened so fast that science is still catching up with the change. Plastics pollution research, for instance, is still a very early science.
We put all these plastics into the environment and we still don’t really know what the outcomes are going to be. What we do know, though, is disturbing. Ocean plastic is estimated to kill millions of marine animals every year. Nearly 700 species, including endangered ones, are known to have been affected by it. One in three leatherback turtles, which often mistake plastic bags for jellyfish, have been found with plastic in their bellies. Ninety percent of seabirds are now eating plastics on a regular basis. By 2050, that figure is expected to rise to 100 percent.
And it’s not just wildlife that is threatened by the plastics in our seas. Humans are consuming plastics through the seafood we eat. I could understand why some people see ocean plastic as a disaster, worth mentioning in the same breath as climate change. But ocean plastic is not as complicated as climate change. There are no ocean trash deniers (否认者), at least so far. To do something about it, we don’t have to remake our planet energy system.
This is not a problem where we don’t know what the solution is. We know how to pick up garbage. We know how to recycle. We can all start by thinking twice before we use single-use plastic products. Things that may seem ordinary, like using a reusable bottle or a reusable bag — taken collectively, really do make a difference.
1.Why is plastics pollution research still a very early science?
A.The plastics pollution research is too difficult.
B.Plastics have produced less pollution than coal.
C.The world couldn’t possibly function without plastics.
D.Plastics have gained in popularity too fast for science to catch up.
2.The writer gives many numbers in Paragraph 3 to ______.
A.prove the threat of plastic to marine life
B.explain reasons for plastic pollution
C.describe his own experiences and feelings
D.compare the differences between sea creatures
3.What can we infer about climate change?
A.Climate change is caused by human activities.
B.Some people cast some doubts about climate change.
C.Climate change is less important than ocean pollution.
D.Ocean plastic is more complicated than climate change.
