When you meet someone for the first time, you will form an impression in your mind of that person in the first moment. Your reactions to other people, however, are really just barometers (晴雨表) for how you perceive(理解) yourself. Your reactions to others say more about you than they do about others. You cannot really love or hate something about another unless it reflects something you love or hate yourself. We are usually drawn to those who are most like us and tend to dislike those who display those aspects of ourselves that we dislike.
Therefore, you can allow others to be the mirror to illuminate (阐明;照亮) more clearly your own feelings of self-worth. Conversely（相反地）, you can view the people you judge negatively as mirrors to show you what you are not accepting about yourself.
To survive together peacefully with others, you will need to learn tolerance. A big challenge is to shift your perspective from judgment of others to a lifelong exploration of yourself. Your task is to assess all the decisions, judgments you make onto others and to begin to view them as clues to how you can heal yourself and become whole.
Several days ago I had a business lunch with a man who displayed objectionable table manners. My first reaction was to judge him as rude and his table manners as annoying. When I noticed that I was judging him, I stopped and asked myself what I was feeling. I discovered that I was embarrassed to be seen with someone who was chewing with his mouth open and loudly blowing his nose. I was astonished to find how much I cared about how the other people in the restaurant perceived me.
Remember that your judgment of someone will not serve as a protective shield against you becoming like him. My judging my lunch partner as rude does not prevent me from ever looking or acting like him. In the same way, extending tolerance to him would not cause me to suddenly begin chewing my food with my mouth open.
When you approach life in this manner, those with whom you have the greatest dissatisfactions as well as those you admire and love can be seen as mirrors, guiding you to discover parts of yourself that you reject and to embrace your greatest quality.
1.We can know from the passage that the author advises people to _____________.
A. avoid inappropriate manners.
B. learn tolerance towards others.
C. pay attention to others’ needs and feelings.
D. judge others favorably in any case.
2.The underlined word “objectionable” in Paragraph 4 has the closest meaning to ____________.

3.According to the passage, the following statements are all true except _____________.
A. You can’t really love or hate others if they are similar to you.
B. We are easily attracted by someone who is similar to us.
C. Our first judgment of a person mostly comes from our personal opinion.
D. The moment we see a stranger, our mind forms an impression of that person.
4.Throughout the entire story, the last paragraph serves as a(n) ______________.
A. explanation B. example C. background D. conclusion
5.It can be implied from the text that ___________.

C. we shouldn’t focus on judging others but should constantly reflect on our own

A good first impression is important. So, how do you, when you’re meeting someone for the first time, make certain he or she doesn’t get the wrong image of you?
A study concluded that the first 30 seconds make or break the connection between two people when they meet for the first time. Another study conducted by UCLA found that “people evaluate one another by using the three V’s: visual (appearance), vocal (voice) and verbal (what you say).”
Before you head out on your next date to meet someone new, let’s concentrate on these areas:
●How others will see you. (Visual) Are you dressed well? Do you look like this date is important to you? Did you take some time with your appearance? Watch your manners: people don’t like bad manners.
●How others will hear you. (Vocal) Is your voice too soft? You might come across as insecure. If you speak softly, make an effort to speak clearly — don’t make your date have to work to hear you.
●What others will hear you say. (Verbal) People have a natural desire to connect — let them know you’re interested in what they have to say by repeating it back to them. Don’t say the same thing everyone else is saying.
1.What would be the best title for the text?
A. How to make friends with others
B. How to enjoy yourself in your life
C. The importance of a good first impression
D. Good measures to communicate with others
2.According to the text, when you want to make friends with someone, ______.
A. you should talk as much as possible
B. there is no need for you to treat it seriously
C. you should try to master（掌握） the first few seconds（秒）
D. you should wear strange clothes to give him or her a deep impression
3.Which of the following belongs to the description of “Vocal”?
A. Dress yourself very well.
B. Speak carefully and clearly.
C. Repeat the same thing several times.
D. Spend some time on your appearance.

When we meet someone for the first time， we usually get an uncertain sense of what kind of person they are by the way they shake hands， talk， or walk． In the age of social networking， however， first impressions are sometimes made even before we actually meet someone in person - that is， by looking at their profile photos（头像）． 1.
In the study， a group of researchers from the University of Pennsylvania in the US used software to analyze the profile photos of 66，000 users of US social platform Twitter and 3，200 of their tweets． 2.The researchers wanted to find out if there was a relation between a person's profile photo and personality．
According to the results， open people are more likely to pose in an unusual way and use objects such as glasses or a guitar in their profile photo because they enjoy new and exciting experiences． Meanwhile， sensitive people often hide their negative emotions．3.Instead， they use an image of something like a pet， a car or a building． That's because sensitive people are strongly influenced by the strong social standard．
4.For example， outgoing people are found to have the most colorful profile images， as they want to emphasize their personality and show themselves off， the researchers wrote．
Although social media photos "usually represent oneself， they also allow a user to shape his or her own personality，" according to the researchers．5.After all， first impressions always last．
A．They want to show themselves off．
B．They try to avoid showing their faces．
C．We should make our profile photos available to others．
D．Some users were asked to complete a survey about their personality types．
E．According to a recent study， these social images say a lot about our personality．
F．When choosing a profile photo， we should think about what image we'd like to convey．
G．The colors used in profile photos also give us some information about the photo's owner．

When was the last time someone unexpectedly did something nice for you? Not someone you knew, but a total stranger? It's happened to me a few times, but two instances really stand out.
A few years ago, I was dining in a restaurant with a friend who kept talking about himself, completely not aware of the fact that I was sitting there in misery. It wasn't my friend's talks that made me suffer. I was recovering from a broken heart, and just sitting down to dinner reminded me of my last relationship. I could have burst into tears right there at the table.
When we picked up the check, the waitress said, “Your meal was already paid for.” My friend and I didn't have a clue how it happened. Then I remembered a man I saw out of the corner of my eye. He was dressed in mostly white, sat down at the bar, had a beer, and stayed for maybe ten minutes. The waitress said, “Yes, the gentleman in white paid for you.” It felt like an angel was saying, “I see you, honey. It's going to be okay.”
Just last year, I was running a halfmarathon. With just 1 mile to go, I was out of gas. Runners call it “hitting_the_wall”. I thought I couldn't move another inch. Out of nowhere, a stranger came up to me and said, “What's your name, sweetie? Jennifer? Okay, Jennifer, let's go! Come on! It's just around the corner! You can do it!” And he ran with me until I picked up my pace. I found him at the finish line to thank him for the encouragement only to learn he wasn't even supposed to be in the race that day.
I still shake my head when I think of these momentary angels that came to me at my point of need. Do you have any experiences like these?
1.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A.The kindness of strangers
B.Valuable friendship
C.Two special experiences
D.Helping others is worthwhile
2.According to the passage, the man in white ____.
A.was the author's friend
B.had a big meal in the restaurant
C.was generous and kindhearted
D.enjoyed making fun of others
3.The underlined expression in the passage means “____”.
A.being hurt by the wall
B.winning the game
C.taking a deep breath
D.running out of energy
4.A stranger helped the author during a halfmarathon by ____.
A.giving her a bottle of water
B.accompanying and encouraging her
C.showing her the right way
D.keeping her cool and awake
