26、Using body language will make people more likely to be influenced by you. But they will only be persuaded (说服) if they also trust you. So it’s equally important to use your body language in a way that makes people feel connected.【1】

Start with a smile

It sounds so simple, but a smile is powerful for you to connect with other people. Big smiles make people think you are warm and confident. People are always more willing to listen to your point of view if they like you.【2】

Nod your head

If you want people to say “yes” to you, get them nodding in agreement even before you ask a question. If you nod at people, they will feel the urge (强烈的欲望) to do it back. Start by nodding when they talk, as if you’re agreeing with their statements (说法) .【3】When they are already nodding, they are much more likely to start agreeing with you.

Stand up

If you are standing up while other people you are talking to are sitting, you will gain the upper hand at once.【4】It is important to stand over them, or to learn in so much that they feel uncomfortable.

Lean in

【5】If other people lean or step back, you have certainly shown that you are in control. If you want to be someone who has influence and persuasion, you need people to like you, not to be scared of you.

Realize the power of decision making．

【2】 When you decide to pick up a cigarette，that decision might result in you picking up another later on．But if you decide no to smoke that first cigarette and make a decision to focus your attention somewhere else，your desire will eventually weaken and you will become smoke-free．

【3】

When you make a decision，act on it．Commit to making a real decision．What's a real decision？It's when you decide on something，and that decision is carried out through action．It's pointless to make a decision in your head，but not doing anything about it．That's the same as not making a decision at all．

Tell others about your decisions．

Sometimes telling other people what we're going to do will make us follow through．I've been trying to become an early riser but waking up early without falling back asleep felt impossible．So I made the decision to tell people that I would wake up at 6a．m．and stay up． 【4】

Have fun making decisions．

【5】 I know decision-making might not be a fun thing，but when you do it often，you'll learn a lot about yourself on the way，and you'll become more confident，and making decisions will just become easier that you won't even think about it．

A．Enjoy the process．

B．Carry your decision out．

C．Examine the decision you now have．

D．Any decision you make causes a chain of events．

E．Within two days，I was able to accomplish doing this．

28、The term 'helicopter parents' refers to 'a style of parents who are over focused on their children'.

Helicopter parents are always making a big effort to provide children with every opportunity to succeed, from baby steps at age I, homework at age 8, college application at age 18, employment issues at age 25 to family problems at age 30, 40 or even older. They constantly (不断地) shadow the child, always directing his behavior, allowing him zero alone time.

Helicopter parenting can develop for a number of reasons. Worries about the economy, the job market, and the world in general can push parents toward taking more control over their children’s life in an attempt to protect them. Adults who felt unloved or ignored as children can overcompensate (对……补偿过多) with their own children. When parents see other over-involved parents, it can cause a similar response. They feel that if they don t involve themselves in their children’s lives, they are bad parents.

The main problem with helicopter parenting is that it can backfire. To give an example, the house where Mary lived with roommates was broken into and things were stolen. Mary called the landlord to install (安装) an alarm system, but before she could finish the negotiations (协商), her mother rushed in and demanded action. 'I felt like my mother ruined my communication with our landlord. We could have gotten it done ourselves. She was well intended but only made me feel annoyed and defeated, ' says Mary.

Obviously, overparenting is motivated with the idea of doing good things but it does the exact opposite. In the long run parents are in fact damaging their child's basic skills to deal with matters independently. It makes the child feel lacking in confidence, less competent in dealing with the stresses of life on their own. They're winning the battle, but in fact losing the war.

【1】What's the purpose of helicopter parents’ overparenting?

A．To make their children not ignored.

B．To help their children find a good job.

C．To do something good for their children.

D．To get rid of the pressure from other parents.

【2】What does the underlined word 'backfire' in Paragraph 4 probably mean?

A．Make an unwanted effect.

B．Get a lot of support.

C．Set fire in the backyard.

D．Help to be independent.

【3】What can we learn from the passage?

A．Children who have helicopter parents live a hard life.

B．Helicopter parenting only happens to very young children.

C．Helicopter parents do their children great harm in the long run.

D．Helicopter parents can protect their children against all problems.

【4】What will possibly be discussed in the following paragraph?

A．The bad effects of helicopter parenting.

B．How we can avoid being helicopter parents.

C．Different opinions about helicopter parenting.

D．The reasons for the development of helicopter parents.

29、Are you worried about moving up to Senior High school? It can be a new experience, but you shouldn’t worry. We’ve put together a guide on how to survive the first week.

You’re not alone!

Remember everybody else in your year is on the same boat. They may not realize it, but they’re just as nervous as you are. Moving to Senior High school is an opportunity, not a problem. Things are different and all you need to do is be polite and learn the new rules.

Teachers are ready to help!

If you’re unsure what to do or are worried about anything then you had better ask for help. Teachers are probably the best people to turn to as they’re experienced in helping new students. Some Senior High schools also have a “friends system”. If your school has this, then you will be paired with an older student. They will look out for you and help you if you have any problems or questions.

All change

There are lots of differences between Junior High school and Senior High school. You’ll have a homework diary or a student planner. You will have your lessons with different teachers in different rooms. You will have homework for different subjects on different days, so make sure you get organized. Make sure you have a copy of your school timetable written down so you know which rooms your classes are in and on which days you will have your different subjects.

Other points

If you’ve got an elder brother or sister at the school then ask them for advice.

Be yourself! It sounds simple, but people will know you much better if you just act naturally.

Having early nights makes a difference and you’ll find it easier to get up in the morning!

31、课文填空

The second fruit of friendship is the better understanding and judgement that may be achieved through conversations with 【1】 and wise friends.

On the other hand, our friends are better able to offer advice on important decisions 【3】 we all have to make. Also, when we want to talk our problems over with a friend, we have to put our thoughts 【4】 words first.

32、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

Erika and the Necklace

Erika and her little sister Beth sneaked into their mommy’s room. “I’m just going to try on some jewelry,” said Erika. She took a necklace and tried to put it on her neck. “Oh, no,” said Beth. “Mommy doesn’t like us playing with her stuff.” “Okay, you be the lookout,” instructed Erika. “Stand by the door and let me know if Mommy comes up the stairs.”

Before Beth got to the door, Bouncer, the family’s Bernedoodle dog, bounded into the room and almost knocked Erika down. The necklace went flying. It had barely hit the floor when Bouncer bit it and raced off.

“Bouncer! Bouncer!” yelled Erika. “Beth, help me get the necklace back.” The girls were hot on Bouncer’s tail. “Stop!” they yelled. Bouncer dashed down the stairs and into the living room. He stopped just long enough for the girls to get close to him. Then of he went. “Stop!” yelled Erika. “Beth, you go the other way. We’ll corner him in the dining room.”

Erika met Beth in the dining room. Sure enough, Bouncer was there waiting for them. He was down low on his front legs with his tail in the air, ready to play. “Grab him!” screamed Erika.

Just as Beth was about to grab him, Bouncer took off. He whizzed (嗖地移动) by Beth and Erika. “Stop, you troublemaker!” yelled Erika as she raced after him. The girls were getting close again, but Bouncer zoomed down the basement stairs. The girls raced after him. “I don’t see him,” said Beth. Erika scratched her head. “He’s got to be down here. He’s hiding.”

Just then Mom called to the girls. “Erika, what’s all the noise? What’s wrong? I heard you from the yard.” “Uh, oh,” whispered Erika. “Uh.. nothing’s wrong,” she shouted.

Beth dashed up the stairs. Erika heard her telling Mom everything. “That blabber mouth (多嘴的人),” said Erika under her breath.
