I was an introvert(内向的人) by 36 . For as long as I remember, putting on a sincere smile when meeting someone had 37 been easy. The key to a sincere smile, 38 , is simple. It’s to be 39 . But that’s the source of the problem. When meeting people, 40 being excited, I often felt upset.
But we all know 41 are important. The more friends you have, the more opportunities you get, 42 it’s job opportunities, a romantic relationship, or business partners.

And the best part, whenever you’re friendly to others, they turn friendly 49 . You’re not hearing this from me. Some research done by scientists actually 50 this claim. So do remember to give it a try.
Three years ago at the age of 23, I took a long hard look at my life and decided that I was 51 . 52 of my life, I set about 53 dramatic changes and now I have become a popular writer. My 54 reflects that nothing is too difficult if you 55 bravely.

My grandfather was a wonderful gardener. As long as I could remember, he had grown a garden full of vegetables in the back of his yard. He grew different kinds of vegetables. One year he even tried pumpkins. The pumpkins did turn out well.
As children, my sister and I would spend time looking after the garden with him. We would learn about planting seeds. My grandfather would show us how the beans would climb up the fence and he built up beyond the fence to let them climb even higher. I was always surprised to see them grow even taller than me.
The pride of my grandfather’s garden was his tomatoes. Every year as soon as the tomato bloomed, I would ask my grandfather when we could eat the tomatoes. He would say, “ Not yet.”
I would ask the next week, “Can we pick them yet?”
He would answer, “Not yet.”
Finally , I would be sure that they were ripe. When so many bright red tomatoes hung on the branches, I would go up to my grandfather and ask, “ Can we pick them now?”
He enjoyed seeing my sister and I eat the tomatoes. I think the garden was my grandfather’s way of sharing his blessing with those around him. The garden always had more than enough produce for my grandparents and for my family, so he would give some to anyone who would accept. He hoped we could pass his generosity to others.
As he grew older, I would look after the garden for him. My grandfather never expected me to do all of it for him, but I could always see the pride on his face when everything was complete.

Both of Omar's parents were poets. For as long as Omar could remember, his parents spent at least one evening each week at a poetry reading, which usually took place at a small coffee house.
Omar had very fond memories of the coffee house on Sixth Street where the people's personalities were as colorful as the coffee cups. He loved going to early evening poetry readings at Cody's Coffee Shop. He would sit in the audience next to his parents, the smell of coffee floating through the air and the gentle voices of the poets removing his childish worries with the rhythm of their poems.
There was one woman who came to Cody's every week just as his parents did. Her name was Mrs. Aboud. She never read, but she had a bright smile for everyone, and she would clap (手) loudly after each reading.
Eventually, Omar began writing his own poetry. Mrs. Francis, Omar's English teacher, advised him to enter a poetry contest ( 比赛). At first Omar was proud and excited. However, when he read the contest rules, he became concerned. The contest was an oral(口头的) reading. Omar had no doubt that he could write high-quality poetry, but he was a very shy young man. He doubted that he could stand in front of a large group to read his poems calmly.
“It would make me very proud”, his father said, and Omar knew that he had to go through with it somehow.
So on the day of the contest, he selected his favorite poem, put on his best clothes, and appeared at the auditorium (会堂).
When he stepped onto the stage, though, something wonderful happened! There in the audience, right beside his parents, was Mrs. Aboud. Omar could almost smell the coffee at Cody's Coffee Shop. He focused on his parents and Mrs. Aboud and tuned out everyone else. Now it was easy to read his poem in a clear, calm voice. When he finished, everyone in the auditorium applauded.
1.What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A.Poetry B.A coffee house
C.Omar's parents D.Omar's worries
2.Which word best describes Mrs. Aboud?
A.Clever. B.Patient
C.Creative D.Supportive.
3.Why did Omar feel that he had to enter the contest?
A.He wanted to win a prize.
B.He wanted to face his fears.
C.He wanted to please his teacher.
D.He wanted to surprise his father.
4.The underlined phrase “tuned out” in the last paragraph can be replaced by______.
A.ignored B.attracted
C.forgot D.impressed

I’d been 16 for six days and was already prepared to deal with failure. I remember when my mum 36 me up that morning, her voice wasn’t as 37 as it usually was.

I went into a room for some paperwork. And I waited for 20 minutes—just 46 time to make myself believe that I was going to fail. Then, finally, it was my 47 . I just wanted to get it over and make sure that I had to come back next Thursday.
I stepped outside and the sky was the light blue I love. It offered me some 48 and I realized something: something between when I pulled myself off the seat and when I got outside. I had become 49 and confident.
The first thing I had to do was parking, which I did quite 50 . The confidence that came with it hit me like a wave. The rest of the test went well too and I 51 it all. As I drove back, the instructor told me I would not be coming back for a second 52 next Thursday.
Back in the building I didn’t have to say a word. My mum knew just by looking at me. Her 53 made her face softer. And I’m sure it was at least as big as the smile on my face. Her eyes, 54 , looked kind of teary. I knew she was 55 for me.

A long time ago, in an Italian city, the people there built a tower which was admired by everyone passing through. A little further down the road, in a neighboring city, they had built a tower of similar beauty. The two towers were equally well known. The people of the second city, envious (妒忌的) and filled with pride, planned to destroy the neighboring tower so it wouldn’t take attention away from their own. One night, they came to the tower and began to quietly undermine its foundations(地基).
The next morning, the tower was leaning(倾斜) slightly ,but nobody noticed. The same happened for the following few days, until a little girl who was passing by pointed up at the tower and said: “ I think the tower is going to fall down.” And everyone around looked closely, and could see that she was right .Nervousness spread through the city. And they tried many methods to try to straighten the tower, but nothing seemed to work. That was, until one day when the same little girl was walking up again, and she put her arm on the side of the tower to rest. She felt the tower shaking slightly. When she took her hand off it, the movement stopped. And when she put it back on again, the same thing happened. The girl spent a while doing this, until she was completely certain of what she had discovered: “ The tower is ticklish ( 怕痒的) ！” She ran to get some plants, and she planted them right next to the tower. Now if the tower leant over any further it would be tickled by the leaves of those plants. Being a ticklish tower, it would then return to where it had been. In this way, the girl managed to make sure that the tower didn’t fall down, but still kept it leaning a little.
The fact that it was leaning made it even more famous, and this taught a fine lesson to the envious people of the neighboring city.
1.Why did the people of the second city plan to destroy the neighboring tower?
A．Because the tower blocked the way of their tourists.
B．Because the tower had the same building style as theirs.
C．Because they hoped that the tower could lean slightly.
D．Because they hoped that visitors just liked their own tower.
2.The underlined word“undermine”（in Paragraph1）probably mean “_________”．
A．test
B．raise
C．damage
D．strengthen
3.When local people heard the news that their tower was going to fall down, they were _________.
A．very anxious
B．very happy
C．very ashamed of themselves
D．angry at the people in the neighboring city
4.What lesson can we learn from the practice of the envious people in the neighboring city?
A．All that ends well is well.
B．Every dog has his day.
C．A bad beginning makes a bad ending.
D．A friend is never known till a man has need.
