Question: I have recently got a senior position within my company．One of my new tasks is to make monthly progress reports on my department in front of other senior officials. During my first meeting, I presented and then opened the floor to questions． 1. _ My first reaction was to answer defensively(防衛(wèi)地;戒備地)．Later, I realized that I shouldn’t have felt that way．But how can I keep cool and effectively answer questions in this type of settings?

Answer: Congratulations on your new position! Presenting in front of your peers (同事) is a hard task in itself and it becomes much more difficult when a question-and-answer period is required! Question-and-answer periods are a great way to clarify (使……清楚) the message and strengthen key points． 2. __

● 3.

When a person is asking a question, show interest and a desire to understand the question by listening and asking for clarification.

● Buy time

When facing a hard question, most people can’t give an answer immediately．Buy time by repeating the question in your own words． 4. These techniques allow you to quickly organize your thoughts as well as to make sure you will be correctly answering the question.

● Suggest a private meeting.

A one-to-one meeting is a calmer setting than speaking in front of your peers. 5.

A．Show your true interest.

B．Restate the question with respect.

C．Some ideas can be quite concrete.

D．There were many difficult questions.

E．It can also be more effective in exchanging ideas.

F．You may also ask for clarification on the question.

G．Here are some ideas that can help prepare for your next meeting.

Last night my husband and I were on the way to a show. We were both hungry and wanted to grab a quick bite on our way there, so we swung through a Jack-In-the-Box-Drive-thru Restaurant and placed our order.

When we got up to the window the lady smiled at me, which is sometimes rare and asked how I was doing while she was collecting our money for the food. I replied, "Fine, and how are you'?" She went to get our order ready and I asked my husband to pass my "Drive-thru Smile bag" to me. He handed it to me and watched in amazement as I gathered together a "You make a difference" paper, including a smile card, a smile stamp and a smile button.

She came back to the window almost before I finished putting it all together. Without looking too closely she passed the bag and said, "Thank you. Have a good day." I said, "Wait! This is for you." As I placed the little smile gifts in her hand a smile spread across her face. As she looked at the items it got a little bigger but when I thanked her for her smile there was no holding back. She gave the biggest smile and she was laughing. It was very heartwarming.

My husband was very impressed by it. It made him smile too. It just takes a little effort to connect in a human way to everyone we have dealings with, even with something as small as a Drive-thru transaction.

Remember, we all make a difference!

1.All the followings are included in my "You make a difference" paper EXCEPT ________.

A. a smile cardB. a smile stamp

C. a smile buttonD. a smile bag

2.The lady became happy because she received ________.

A. some foodB. some kindnessC. some moneyD. some help

3.What may be the best title for the text?

A. Jack-In-the-Box-Drive-thru Restaurant

B. Biggest Drive-thru Smile Ever

C. You Make a Difference through Effort

D. Don't hold back Your Smile

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：2016-2017年江西上高縣二中高二上第二次10月考英語(yǔ)卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

While the presence of rats in homes may cause anxiety and annoyance，they rarely result in driving out the residents.But that is exactly what happened to the inhabitants of the 10-square-mile Hawadax Island off the coast of Alaska，almost 230 years ago.Now thanks to a five-year effort by scientists，the terribly silent “Rat Island” as it had been called for many years has been returned to its rightful owners—birds!

Hawadax Island is part of a chain of volcanic islands in the Bering Sea called the Aleutian Islands.The rats that arrived there in 1780，when a Japanese ship carrying them broke down nearby，completely destroyed the native population because the environment of the island was not built to defend its animals from these predators.There isn't any tree on the island，which meant that the birds were accustomed to building their nests low in the ground，giving the rodents(嚙齒動(dòng)物) easy access to both eggs and baby chicks.As years passed，the birds that had called the island home for thousands of years became endangered and eventually，disappeared completely.

In 2007，the US FWS(Fish and Wildlife Service) started a serious plan to rid the island of the rats and try bringing back the beautiful birds that had once called it home.Given that there were an estimated 10，000 rodents inhabiting “Rat Island” and the fact that they reproduce rapidly，it was not an easy task.But by 2009，the island was officially declared rat free!

Then slowly but surely，the birds began to return. Unfortunately，some of the pioneers were unintentionally killed from the leavings of the raticide，a poison that had been used to wipe out the rodents.But now it seems things are becoming more stable and the island is starting to increasingly look like its former self.Before the transformation，“Hawadax”，also known as “Rat Island”，was a silent and ghostly place with bird bones，snail remains and rocks covered in rat feces(糞便)．

Today，birds' singing and flying in and out is a common sight.Tufted puffins and song sparrows，which had long disappeared，are gradually making their way back.Scientists have also been observing an increase in ground nesting and shore birds.Though the island is still not back to its full glory，the signs are encouraging and things can only get better，as time passes.

1.The underlined word “that” in Paragraph 1 probably refers to ________.

A．birds' being driven out

B．the presence of rats

C．birds' returning to the island

D．residents' worrying about rats

2.Birds on Hawadax Island became an easy target because ________.

A．their chicks were extremely weak

B．they nested randomly

C．they reproduced too rapidly

D．this island was treeless

3.From the passage，we can know the plan of US FWS ________.

A．has helped the island fully recovered

B．cost little but benefited greatly

C．involved poisoning the rats on a large scale

D．a(chǎn)ccomplished its goal after exactly 24 months

4.Which would be the best title for the passage?

A．FWS help get rare birds back to alaska island

B．Japanese changed a bird paradise into rat island

C．Alaska's rat island returns to a bird paradise

D．FWS plan to drive rats out of rat Island
