3．Many of us mistakenly believe that it's wrong to think we have any good qualities．We may spend a lot of time blaming ourselves for our negative qualities，thinking that self criticism is the key to improving our performance．However，a constant focus on our supposed shortcomings can stop our efforts to make friends with other people．How can we believe that others could like us if we believe our inner being is flawed（有缺陷）？
If someone seems to dislike you，the reason for that dislike might have little or nothing to do with you．The person who doesn't like you might be fearful，or shallow，or busy or shy．Perhaps you and that person are simply a mismatch for each other at this particular time．
Don't take yourself out of the game by deciding that your flaws are bigger than your good qualities．In fact，some of the very qualities you consider to be flaws may be irresistible to someone else．For all the factors that might cause one person to reject you，there are at least as many factors that will work in your favor with someone else．
You might be thirty pounds over your ideal weight，but you may have a wonderful laugh and a real enthusiasm for life．There are many people who don't mind your extra pounds．You may drive a shabby car，but you might be a great dancer and a loyal friend．There are people out there looking for loyalty，or fun，or sweetness，or wisdom，and the package it comes in is not important．If you are worried that you are not beautiful enough to attract friends，keep in mind that not everyone is looking for physical beauty in their friends．You can decide to feel inferior（自卑） because you don't have much money and you don't drive a nice car．You can believe that this is the reason that you don't have many friends in your life．On the other hand，if you are very wealthy you may be suspicious that everyone is after your money and that nobody really likes you as a person．
The point is that you can focus on just about anything and believe it's the reason you do not have friends and cannot make any．

36．According to the authorD plays an important role in making friends．
A．a(chǎn)dmitting your shortcomings  B．self criticism  C．modesty  D．confidence
37．If you are not liked by a person，C．
A．you should find the reason in yourself
B．you'd better talk with the person face to face
C．you may not be the one to be blamed
D．you and that person misunderstand each other
38．We can learn from the third paragraph thatB．
A．your good qualities may turn out to be your flaws
B．your weakness may also be your strengths in some way
C．your negative qualities cause a person to reject you
D．you'll have few friends if your flaws are bigger than your good qualities
39．Which of the following is true according to the author？C
A．It is important to lose weight．
B．It is easier for a wealthy person to make friends．
C．Inner qualities are more important than physical appearance．
D．If you are not beautiful enough，try to improve your physical beauty．
40．What do you think the author is most likely to suggest if he continues to write？A
A．How to find your good qualities．
B．How to make friends．
C．How to make self criticism．
D．How to lose weight．

11．Nearly everyone is shy in some ways．If shyness is making you uncomfortable，it may be time for a few lessons in self-confidence．You can build your confidence by following some suggestions from doctors and psychologists．
Make a decision not to hold back in conversations．What you have to say is just as important as what other people say．And don't turn down party invitations just because of your shyness．
Prepare yourself for being with others in groups．Make a list of the good qualities you have．Then make a list of ideas，experiences，and skills you would like to share with other people．Think about what you would like to say in advance．Then say it．

18．If you don't want people to know too much about you，then you had better keep your fridge contents secret，according to a British market research document released last week．
Researchers peered （凝視） into the fridges of 400people in Britain and compared the contents with the owners'lifestyles．They claim to be able to classify the nation's people by fridge contents．
They say those people can be separated into five categories：nutrition nerds （no social sense），food faddiest （whatever's in style），martyr mums，fast food fanatics and restaurant regulars．
Nutrition nerds care much about what they put into their bodies．Their fridges are stocked with fruit，vegetables and healthy meat．
People in this category tend to be highly organized and usually work in law or accountancy．The vast majority is single，but if they have a partner，that person will be similar．
A fridge full of vitamins-enriched juices implies its owner works in media or fashion．They tend not to eat the foods they buy．Known as the food faddiest，they just want to be seen as purchasing the latest important things．
A fridge filled with everything from steak to frozen fish suggests the martyr mum．Her fridge tends to be stocked with every kind of product，except what she herself would want．This fridge hints at difficulty balancing family and work life．
Fast food fanatics always buy mineral water or soda pop．The nearest they will get to fresh fruit is tomato sauce．Their fridges hint at someone who works hard and plays hard，also，someone who is not into long term planning．
Finally，a fridge filled with nothing more than a bottle of white wine and some sparkling mineral water implies an owner who is single，lives in a big city and enjoys the finer things in life．The fridge is empty because this person regularly eats in restaurants．

36．What can we know from the first two paragraphs？C
A．Some researchers are fond of staring at other people's fridges．
B．People don't want others to know about their secrets．
C．The food you put in the fridge has something to do with your personality．
D．There are mainly five kinds of lifestyles among British people．
37．According to the passage，people who belong to food faddiestA．
A．don't care much about money when buying things
B．will try their best to stay healthy
C．often stay up late to finish their job
D．prefer to ask others about what to do next
38．Which of the following is true according to the passage？D
A．"Nutrition nerds"are always organized and successful in their jobs．
B．"Food faddists"like to stock their fridges with all kinds of vitamins．
C．"Martyr mums"care themselves more than others．
D．"Fast food fanatics"usually do not stock their fridges with fresh fruit．
39．What will those who often dine out put in the fridge？B
A．All kinds of food they like．
B．Only something to drink．
C．Fruit，vegetables and meat．
D．Food rich in vitamins．
40．What is this passage mainly about？B
A．What people store in their fridges．
B．Fridge contents and its owner's secret．
C．What we should store in our fridges．
D．How to keep our fridge contents secret．

8．Dogs can know the meaning of a human perspective，say researchers．
Dogs are more capable of understanding situations from a human's point of view than has previously been recognized，according to researchers．
They found dogs were four times more likely to steal food they had been forbidden，when lights were turned off so humans in the room could not see．
This suggested the dogs were able to alter their behavior when they knew their owners'perspective had changed．
The study，published in Animal Cognition，conducted tests on eighty-four dogs．
The experiments had been trying to find whether dogs could make their behavior suitable to react to the changed circumstances of their human owners．It wanted to see if dogs had a"flexible understanding"that could show they understood the viewpoint of a human．
It found that when the lights were turned off，dogs in a room with their human owners were much more likely to disobey and steal forbidden food．
The study says it is"unlikely that the dogs simply forgot that the human was in the room"when there was no light．Instead it seems as though the dogs were able to differentiate between when the human was unable or able to see them．
Juliane Kaminski carried out the research into how dogs are influenced by human circumstances．
Dr Juliane Kaminski，from the University of Portsmouth's psychology department，said the study was"incredible because it implies dogs understand the human can't see them，meaning they might understand the human perspective"．
Previous studies have suggested that although humans might think that they can recognize different expressions on their dogs'faces，this is often inaccurate and a projection of human emotions．
"Humans constantly attribute certain qualities and emotions to other living things．We know that our own dog is clever or sensitive，but that's us thinking，not them，"said Dr Kaminski．
"These results suggest humans might be right，where dogs are concerned，but we still can't be completely sure if the results mean dogs have a truly flexible understanding of the mind and others'minds．It has always been assumed only humans had this ability．

43．According to the passage，which of the following is TRUE？C
A．The researchers made the test on dogs in eighty-four countries．
B．Dogs always obey and don't steal forbidden food．
C．Dogs may adapt their behavior in response to the changed circumstances．
D．The research is carried out to find out how dogs are influenced by light．
44．Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage？C
A．Dogs---Our Loyal Companions Understand Us Most．
B．Dogs Are Our Best Friends．
C．Dogs Can Understand Us In a Way，Researchers Say．
D．Dogs Have Certain Qualities and Emotions of Human Beings，Researchers Say．
45．Where can we probably read this kind of articles？D
A．Textbooks． B．Advertisements． C．Instructions． D．Magazines．
46．This passage can be classified asD．
A．a(chǎn)n argumentative writing                B．a(chǎn) feature story
C．a(chǎn) dog show review                     D．a(chǎn) research result．

15．How did the sea horse get its name？It's not hard to guess．The top half of this fish looks like a small horse．But looking at the sea horse's tail，you might think"sea monkey"is a better name．Then there's the sea horse's pouch （育兒袋）．"Sea kangaroo"might also be a good name for this fish．
    Sea horses live in warm ocean waters all over the world．They keep safe from other fish by hiding in plants and grasses that grow under the sea．They can also change colors to match their surroundings．A sea horse remains in one place for hours at a time by winding its tail around a plant．It feeds on live food，such as small shrimp．For a fish that doesn't move around much，the sea horse eats a lot-in just one day，a sea horse can eat 3，000 shrimp!
A sea horse keeps the same mate for its whole life，and it's the male sea horse that gives birth to baby sea horses．How does this happen？Baby sea horses start out as eggs，which come from the female's body．The male carries the eggs in its pouch for about three weeks until they hatch．Soon after the babies are born，the female gives her mate a new set of eggs．
    Sadly，the number of sea horses is becoming smaller．Why is this happening？Some places where sea horses once lived have been filled in to make new land．Also，many sea horses are caught and sold as aquarium fish．This really is not a good idea because most sea horses don't live long in aquariums．The best place for a sea horse is the ocean．
60．The sea horse got its name because of itsB

13．When asked to point out one or two things that are most important to themselves，many put friends ahead of homes，jobs，cloth and cars．
A true friendship carries-a-long history of experience that determines who we are and keeps us connected．It is a treasure we should protect．Unfortunately，the better friends you are，the more probably you'll have disagreements．And the result can be what you don't want an end to the relationship．
The good news is that most troubled friendships can be mended First，don't let your pride get in your way．Most of us can forgive each other when differences are brought out in the open．second，apologize when you're wrong-even if you've been wronged．Over the course of a friendship，even the best people make mistakes．Sometimes，it may be best if the wronged persontakes the lead and apologizes．When you apologize，give your friend a chance to admit that he has been wrong．Third，see things from your friend's point of view．And finally，accept that friendships change as our needs and lifestyle change．Making friends can sometimes seem easy．The hard part is keeping the connections strong during the natural ups and downs that have an effect on all relationships．My suggestion：Consider friendship an honor and a gift，and worth the effort to treasure and nurture．
