When Nina walked into class, she noticed there was a new student. The girl looked a little nervous, but she was busy getting started on her morning work. Nina decided that she would talk to her later.

As Mrs. Anderson taught the math lesson, Nina lost focus. Instead of paying attention to the lesson, Nina was thinking about her first day at this new school just a few months ago. She remembered the fear and the tears. Starting a new school was hard, and Nina wanted to help this new girl, Denise. She couldn’t wait for lunchtime so that she could talk to Denise and maybe make a new friend.

When Mrs. Anderson told the class to line up for lunch, Nina realized she had no idea what her homework task was. She hoped she could talk to Denise. Denise had focused on the lesson, while Nina was not paying attention to the teacher at all.

“Excuse me,” Denise said to Nina. “Do you know where there is an open seat? I’m not sure where I should sit.”

Nina happily directed Denise to the seat next to her. Together, they opened their lunch-boxes. At first, their conversation was short, but after a few minutes the girls had a steady(稳定的) conversation. It was so much fun to meet a new friend.

Nina was so glad that she had made friends with the new student. She knew how it felt to be new, and she always wanted to be kind to others who might be having a hard time.

Gloria is a famous hostess of a TV station. When she was 15, she happened to walk into a bookstore in her hometown and began looking at the books on the shelves. The storekeeper

asked if she'd like a job. She needed to save for college, so she said yes.

Gloria worked after school and during summer vacations, and the job helped pay for her first year of college. During college she would do many other jobs: she served coffee in the student union, was a hotel cleaner and even made maps for the Forest Service.

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!

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.

九年级英语单选题中等难度题查看答案及解析

When someone walks into a room wearing bright colours, everyone seems to take notice. Beautiful bright colours can easily draw our attention. Fresh roses can cheer us up when we’re feeling blue. Dressing up in colourful clothing can bring us into a more positive mood.

What shall I wear today? What colour should I choose?

Dressing yourself for the day is quite important whether you know it or not. Our moods often show what our bodies end up wearing. When you look in the mirror after you dress, train yourself to notice how you feel when you see yourself. Notice your mood. If you are not feeling yourself, could the colour of what you are wearing irritate (使不适) your nervous system? Did you never notice that before? We all know that dark colours can tell lies. They can make you look and feel older than you really are. That is why baby clothes never come in dark colours. To the mind, dark colours seem easier to hold power, but to the heart and feeling level, they don’t help your heart to open. Bring happy colours and happiness to go hand in hand. Bright happy colours open your heart, calming your nervous system.

Some advice:

If you work around people who wear black, try to find a happy colour to look at to replace (取代) the picture of dark colours in your mind.

At night, wear soft clothes in light colours to help your nervous system calm down and smooth it out, preparing yourself for sleep.

Don’t dress children in dark colours because their nervous systems are just beginning to feel.
