Anna was excited about starting her first day...

Anna was excited about starting her first day in the new school. However, when she first walked past the students in the school, her excitement turned to fear, and then to loneliness over the next few days. “Why didn’t anyone say ‘hi’ to me or invite me to his or her lunch table? Is it because of my clothes or my hair?” she wondered. Almost every day during the first week, Anna stayed alone, thinking that there must have been something wrong with her or that nobody saw her at all!

What caused Anna’s problem? The reason was that nobody knew her. Most people don’t like talking with strangers. So it’s your job to volunteer to make contact with people who you want to know. The easiest way to catch their attention is to notice them first. Make eye contact with them and smile at them. When you smile at them, you are doing your best to show your kindness to them, and they are sure to understand that you are saying, “Hey, how’s everything going?” In this way, you are taking the first step towards the road to friendship.

When Anna realized this, she started talking to her classmates. Guess what happened? It really worked. She had made two friends by the end of the month.

In fact, saying “hi” or making friends with strangers is not hard. And the joy it brings you is really great. So try to open your heart to strangers!

1.What was Anna’s problem?

A. She was afraid of entering a new school.　　 B. She had no friends in her new school.

It was my first day at school in London and I was half-excited and half-frightened. On my way to school I wondered what sort of questions the other boys would ask me and practiced all the answers: “I am nine years old. I was born here but I haven’t lived here since I was two. I was living in Farley. It’s about thirty miles away. I came back to London two months ago.” I also wondered if it was the custom（习惯）for boys to fight strangers like me, but I was tall for my age. I hoped they would decide not to risk（冒险）it.

No one took any notice of me before school. I stood in the center of the playground, expecting someone to say “hello”, but no one spoke to me. When a teacher called my name and told me where my classroom was, one or two boys looked at me but that was all the curiosity my arrival aroused（唤醒）.

My teacher was called Mr. Jones. There were 42 boys in the class, so I didn’t stand out there, either, until the first lesson of the afternoon. Mr. Jones was very fond of Charles Dickens and he had decided to read aloud to us from David Copperfield, but first he asked several boys if they knew Dickens’ birthplace, but no one guessed right. A boy called Brian, the biggest in the class, said: “Timbuktu”, and Mr. Jones went red in the face. Then he asked me. I said: “Portsmouth”, and everyone stared at me because Mr. Jones said I was right. This didn’t make me very popular, of course.

“He thinks he’s clever,” I heard Brian say.

After that, we went out to the playground to play football. I was in Brian’s team, and he obviously had Dickens in mind because he told me to go in goal. No one ever wanted to be the goalkeeper.

“He’s big enough and useless enough,” Brian said when someone asked him why he had chosen me.

I suppose Mr. Jones remembered Dickens, too, because when the game was nearly over, Brian pushed one of the players on the other team, and he gave them a penalty（罚球）. As the boy kicked the ball hard along the ground to my right, I threw myself down instinctively（本能地）and saved it. All my team crowded round me. My bare knees were grazed（擦伤）and bleeding. Brian took out a handkerchief and offered it to me.

“Do you want to join my team?” he said.

At the end of the day, I was no longer a stranger.

1.The writer prepared to answer all of the following questions EXCEPT “_________”.

A. How old are you?

B. Where are you from?

C. Do you want to join my team?

D. When did you come back to London?

2.We can learn from the passage that _________.

A. boys were usually unfriendly to new students

B. the writer was not greeted as he expected

C. Brian praised the writer for his cleverness

D. the writer was glad to be a goalkeeper

3.The underlined part “I didn’t stand out” in paragraph 3 means that the writer was not _______.

A. noticeable（值得注意的）　　 B. welcome

C. important　 　　　　　　　　　　 D. popular

4.What can we infer from the fact that the writer was offered a handkerchief?

A. He threw himself down and saved the goal.

B. He pushed a player on the other team.

C. He was beginning to be accepted.

D. He was no longer a new comer.

It was the first day of class. Two of her new ESL (English as a Second Language) classmates wanted to know where Tara was from. They were both from Korea. Because Tara looked Korean, one of the women asked Tara, in English, if she was from Korea. Tara replied, "No, I'm not." Then the women took turns asking Tara if she was from Japan, or Thailand, or China. To each question, Tara answered them a simple no. Laughing, one woman said to the other, "She's not from anywhere!" The two went to their desks, talking to each other in Korean.

The next day, the teacher divided the students into groups of four. The students in each group asked introductory(介绍的)questions of each other. A student in Tara's group asked her, "Where are you from?" Tara answered that she was from Korea. The two women who had questioned Tara the day before were sitting only a few feet away. Both of them heard Tara's answer.

"Aha!" they both exclaimed, "You ARE from Korea!" Tara smiled and said yes. Then she apologized(道歉)to both of them for lying the day before. She told them that she had not wanted to get into a Korean conversation with them. It had been her experience that many ESL students continued to speak their mother language in ESL class, and Tara had not come to ESL class to practice her Korean. In her opinion， ESL students should try to speak English only.

"I agree." said Rose.

"You're 100 percent right." agreed Jenny, "Rose and I must stop speaking Korean to each other. Right，Rose?" Rose nodded，and then said something in Korean. All three women laughed.

The next half a year, Tara became friendly with both women, although she never spoke a word of Korean to them during class or break.

A. announced with excitement
