【題目】語法填空
Our ancestors(祖先)made the old saying that friends(be) like wine-the older,the better.Because of that, many people think old friends to be(important) than new ones.For example,if two pieces of advice are given to solve a problem,one from a new friend and the other from an old friend,people always prefer to choose the latter one,the new friend's advice may be better.
(disagree) with the old saying,I believe that new friends are not(necessary) worse than old friends. Why?Because the(long) of time cannot tell whether your friendship is better or not.
Once you call someone friend,he must be a person who is(rely) and whose interests are in common with(you).Maybe a friend's outside look(change) all the time,but the inside characters of him and his interests won't change at all.It is just these unchangeable characters and interests that make him a friend to you.,there is no difference between old friends and new ones on this point.

【題目】Today, we talk about a common object that appears in many expressions — buttons! Buttons, which are usually small and round and made of metal or plastic, are found on all sorts of clothing. They fasten or connect one piece of clothing to another in order to make sure your clothes don’t fall off.

To be cute as a button is an old saying, which means to be attractive or sweet, but in a small way. Babies are often described as cute as a button. Language experts don’t know why. But they do say this expression dates back to the late 1860s.

Here is another expression related to button: button-down. People often wear button-down shirts to the office. Button-down as an adjective means to be conservative or traditional. People described as button-down stay as close as possible to the normal way of dressing and behaving.

When buttoning a button you slip it into a buttonhole. A buttonhole traps the button. So, to buttonhole someone means you have trapped them in a spoken conversation. Now, let’s say you find yourself buttonholed in a conversation at a party. Someone just keeps talking and talking and talking! Finally, you can’t take it any longer. You tell the person to button it! This is a direct, but unacceptable way of saying “Stop talking!” Button your lip is another equally rude but effective way to stop a person who talks too much.

Another kind of difficult person is someone who pushes one’s buttons. To push one’s buttons means to know exactly how to get that person angry or upset. People who like to push other people’s buttons usually do it for selfish reasons. They find a person’s weak point and then they use it to upset them.

1What do you think of someone who wears a button-down shirt to the office?

A. Funny. B. Traditional.

C. Crazy. D. Fashionable.

2What will you probably say to get rid of a long and boring talk?

A. Button your lip. B. Be cute as a button.

C. Push your buttons. D. Be button-down.

3How does the fourth paragraph mainly develop?

A. By giving examples. B. By making contrasts.

C. By listing figures. D. By analyzing cause and effect.

4What does the underlined phrase “pushes one’s buttons” in Paragraph 5 mean?

A. Learns of one’s secret. B. Shouts loudly.

C. Gets someone to lose his temper. D. Argues with someone.

People who are confident really seem to be naturally outstanding and just seem to do everything with more styles than others. It is a habit that everyone can develop in life. Try these simple tips to drill and build up your confidence:
1)Admit your shortcomings calmly.
Do not try to flee from them or cover them. Face them bravely. Fight against them every day until the day when you could break away and conquer them.
2)Dress for self-confidence.
And therefore pay attention to your dress, display your unique physical advantages and exhibit your best image. In addition, on formal occasions such as a business conference or a wedding ceremony, elegant dressing contributes to building your confidence.
3)
You should break your routine that deals with the work passively. Concentrate your efforts immediately on overcoming it, because it will make your restless mind at ease and build your self-confidence.
