26、Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
We often focus on building relationships with others that we forget the essential first step: being friends of ourselves. 【1】 How can we have good relationships with others if we don’t even have good relationships with ourselves?
The problem might be worse than we expect. Maybe we don’t like ourselves without realizing it. Here is a simple checklist: Is there anything you don’t like about yourself from these lists? Your past: Maybe you have made mistakes in the past which you feel bad about. 【2】 Even if that happened in distant past, your subconscious(潜意识的) mind still has a reason not to like yourself.
Your background: You might wish that you were born in a different family, or that you have a different background. Maybe you could not accept the fact that you are not as lucky as others. They seem to get whatever they want effortlessly because of their background.
Your personal features: You might have some personality features that you don’t like. For example, you may be an introvert(内向的) and you don’t like it; you wish you were an extrovert. Others might have better achievements than you, and no matter how hard you tried, it might seem impossible for you to match them. 【3】 Is there anything that resonate (共鸣) with you? All these give reasons to you not to like yourself. That in turn makes it difficult for you to be a good friend to yourself. 【4】 Here are some tips:
Forgive yourself;
Accept things you can’t change;
Focus on your strengths;
Write your success stories;
Stop comparing yourself with others;
Always be true to yourself.
A.That is the first step if we are to have good relationships with others.
B.You might think that it’s because you are not smart enough or don’t have enough talents.
C.You can do something to improve the relationships with others.
D.Fortunately, there are always things you can do to fix the situation.
E.You might be disappointed with yourself on why you make such mistakes.
F.Sometimes you might not believe yourself.
27、 How can a parent help to develop healthy self-respect in child? These tips can make a big difference:
Watch what you say. 【1】 Remember to praise your child not only for a job well done, but also for effort. But be truthful. For example, if your child doesn't make the soccer team, avoid saying something like, "Well, next time you'll work harder and make it." Instead, try "Well, you didn't make the team, but I'm really proud of the effort you put into it."
【2】 If you're very hard on yourself, negative, or unrealistic about your abilities and limitations, your child may mirror you in the end. Raise your own self-respect, and your child will have a great role model.
Identify and correct your child's inaccurate beliefs. Helping kids set more accurate standards will help them have a healthy self-concept. 【3】 For example, a child who does very well in school but struggles with math may say, "I can't do math. I'm a bad student." Not only is this false, it will also set the child up for failure. 【4】 A helpful response might be: "You are a good student. You do great in school. Math is just a subject that you need to spend more time on."
Create safe, loving home environment. Kids who don't feel safe or are badly treated at home will suffer greatly from low self-respect. Watch for signs of ill-treatment by others, problems in school, trouble with peers, and other factors that may affect kids' self-respect. 【5】 And always remember to respect your kids.
A.Be a positive role model.
B.Kids are very sensitive to parents' words.
C.Encourage kids to see a situation in its true light.
D.Give hugs and tell kids you're proud of them.
E.Deal with these issues considerately but swiftly.
F.Inaccurate opinions of self can take root and become reality to kids.
G.Help kids take part in practical experiences.
28、 The Apollo Programme was set up by NASA, the US space agency, to land a man on the Moon by the end of the 1960s. Once this had been achieved by Apollo 11in 1969, other Moon missions didn’t create the same level of public excitement. The Apollo 13 astronauts were Fred Haise, Jim Lovell and Jack Swigert. Lovell later told the BBC that people were getting bored of the Moon. When the astronauts filmed a message to Earth after 55 hours of space flight, none of the major TV channels in the US took time to show it live.
Nine minutes after filming the message to Earth, one of the ship’s two oxygen tanks exploded. Swigert got in touch with mission control, which was in the city of Houston in Texas, US, and said, “Houston, we’ve had a problem here.” The explosion meant that the astronauts would no longer be able to land on the Moon. Instead, the goal was simply to get back to Earth alive. The crew used the lunar module as a lifeboat.
By now, Apollo 13 had drawn the world’s attention, Millions of people watched television on17 April to see whether the astronauts would get back to Earth. There were fears that damage to the command module might mean that the parachutes needed for landing wouldn’t work. To make matters worse, for four minutes. Mission control lost connection with the astronauts. Luckily, the astronauts landed safely in the Pacific Ocean.
NASA referred to Apollo 13 as a “successful failure”. It didn’t complete its original mission, but the calm and quick thinking of the astronauts and mission control experts prevented a disaster. The tanks were redesigned and a third one added to future spacecraft as backup, to make sure that such an accident never happened again.

29、 Body language has always been a hot topic of interesting dinner conversations and now today it is still a hot topic. It is perhaps one of the most powerful forms of human expression or human communication!
Body language is a very important part of communication which can constitute 50% or more of what we are communicating to the other person. If you wish to communicate effectively, then it makes sense to understand how you can (and cannot) use your body to say what you mean.
Body language can be used to discover all sorts of things ,such as knowing when someone is attracted to you, finding truth and lies, showing confidence, winning respect in any situation, and you can use body language to put people at ease, make friends quickly, persuade, and influence.
So what is body language? Body language is a term used to describe the method of communication using body movements or gestures instead of sounds, verbal(口头的) language or other communication. Body language includes the most subtle(微妙的)movements that many people are not aware of, including winking(眨眼) and slight movement of the eyebrows and other facial expressions.
Body language is one of the easiest ways for you to tell what's really going on in a conversation with another person. The body language that you observe from other people will tell you whether or not those people are being straight up with you or whether there is more to the story that’s not being said. Watch, look,and observe. Sometimes you can tell more by a person’s body language than the words they speak.
【1】The underlined word “constitute” in Paragraph 2 probably means ___________.
A.make up B.take up C.turn up D.put up

30、Every culture on the planet has certain topics that people avoid discussing. But the taboos (禁忌) of one culture may be very different from those of another. You may be _______ that people from other cultures say what you can’t talk about.
Paying attention to what people don’t _______ can teach us something important about their culture. Their taboo topics give us clues about what they value, respect or even fear. Topics that are considered too personal or too controversial (有争议的)may also be avoided.
America is full of taboo topics. Usually, during a polite conversation, Americans will _______ both politics and religion. They also avoid talking about racial issues(种族问题).
Why? Because these topics can cause strong opinions and _______ . Americans believe it’s best to avoid them — especially at social gatherings.
Many Americans also do not feel _______ talking about their personal income, age or health. _______, they prefer to make small talks about the weather, sports or common interests.
What do these taboos tell us about American _______? For one, they show that Americans place importance on _______ . America certainly isn’t the only place that values it. You will find _______ taboos about asking personal questions in many European countries. “This is especially true in Germany”, says Hanna Graf, a German living in Shanghai. “In Germany, you are not supposed to ask about other people’s personal business,” she says. “But there are no ________ rules about what you can’t ask; it’s just in people’s minds.”
In Brazil, ________, almost anything seems open to discussion. “Brazilians talk about all kinds of personal issues,” says Mark Quinlan, who grew up in Brazil. But of course, even Brazil has its own taboos. In Brazil, soccer is the one topic that can turn friends into enemies. Brazilians love the sport. Saying anything ________ about soccer can cause big trouble. Even expressing preference for one team over another can be ________.
Like Brazilians, Australians talk freely about almost anything. However, they do not talk about their personal or business ________. They prefer to let people judge them by their actions, not their words. Boasting(夸大) your achievements will only make you the ________ of other people’s jokes.
