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 for 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 . I think about what you would like to say in advance. Then say it.If you start feeling self-conscious in a group, take a deep breath and focus your attention on other people, Remember, you are not alone. Other people are concerned about the impression they are making, too.No one ever gets over being shy completely, but most people do learn to live with their shyness. Even entertainers admit that they often feel shy. They work at fighting their shy feelings so that they can face the cameras and the public.

Popular entertainersB（预、普）A new plan for getting children to and from school is being started by a local government in Eastern England. This could end the worries of many parents fearful for their children’s safety on the roads.Until now the local government have only been prepared to provide bus services for children living more than three miles from their school, or sometimes less if special reasons existed. Now it has been decided that if a group of parents ask for help in organizing transport they will be prepared to go ahead, as long as the arrangement will not lose money and children taking part will be attending their nearest school.The new plan is to be fired out this term for children living at Milton who attend Impington School. The children live just within the three-mile limit and the local government said in the past that they would not undertake to provide free transport to the school . But now they have agreed to offer a sum of money for a bus service from Milton to Impington and back, a plan which has the support of the school’s headmaster. Between 50 and 60 parents have said they would like their children to take part . Final calculations have still to be carried out, but a government official has said the cost to parents should be less than ￡20 a term. They have been able to arrange the service at a low cost because there is already an agreement with the bus company for a bus to take children who live further away to Impington . The same bus would now just make one more journey to pick up the Milton children. The official said they would get in touch with other groups of parents who in the past had asked if transport could be provided for their children , to see if they would like to take part in the new plan. is the aim of the planA.To prevent the students’ road accidentsB.To relieve the traffic pressureC.To save time for the parents and studentsD.To help the parents save money61. How can the local government arrange the new bus service at a low costA.By letting the bus run in the morning onlyB.By limiting the number of the studentsC.By getting the support from the headmasterD.By linking the new bus service with the existing one62. Which of the following is possible if the plan is carried outA.The bus company will make much more moneyB.The children can choose whatever school they likeC.The parents can get rid of their worriesD.The students in Impington School can have free bus rides63. This passage is most probably _____A. a personal letterB.an advertisementC. a headmaster’s reportD. a newspaper articleC（预）Every artist knows in his heart that he is saying something to the public. Not only does he want to say it well, but he wants it to be something that has not been said before. He hopes that the public will listen and understand ----he wants to teach them, and he wants them to learn fromhim.What visional artists like painters want to teach is easy to make out but difficult to explain, because painters translate their experience into shapes and colors, not words. They seem to feel that a certain choice of shapes and colors, out of the countless billions possible, is very interesting for them and worth showing to us. Without their work we should never have notice these particular shapes and colors ,or have felt the delight which they brought to the artists.Most artists take their shapes and colors from the world of nature and from human bodies in movement and at rest; their choices show that these aspects(方面)of the world are worth looking at, that they contain beautiful sights. Modern artists might say that they only choose subjects that provide an interesting pattern, that there is nothing more in it. Yet even they do not choose totally without thinking about the character of their subjects.If one painter chooses to paint a decaying(溃烂的) leg and another a lake in moonlight, each of them is directing our attention to a certain aspect of the world . Each painter is telling us something , showing us something , emphasizing something----- all of which means that, consciously or unconsciously, he is trying to teach us.is hard to explain what a painter is saying because _______.A. most painters do not express themselves wellpainter uses unusual words and phrasespainter use shapes and colors instead of wordspainters do not say anything65. Modern artists might say their choice of subjects ______.A.carries a message to the public provides interesting patternsno pattern or form D. teaches the public important truths66. The writer says that modern art contains______A. nothing but meaningless patterns aspects of the worldC. subjects chosen partly for their meaningD. completely meaningless subjectsD（预）Cole Bettles had been rejected by a number of universities when he received an e-mail from the University of California, San Diego, last month, congratulating him on his admission and inviting him to tour the campus. His mother booked a hotel in San Diego, and the 18-year-old Ojai high school senior arranged for his grandfather, uncle and other family members to meet them at the campus for lunch during the Saturday tour.“They were like ‘Oh my God, that’s so awesome （棒的）’，” Bettles said. Right before he got in bed, he checked his e-mail one last time and found another message saying the school had made a mistake and his application had been denied.In fact, all 28, 000 students turned away from UC San Diego, in one of the toughest college entrance seasons on record, had received the same incorrect message. The students’ hopes had been raised and then dashed （破灭） in a cruel twist that shows the danger of instant communications in the Internet age.UCSD admissions director Mae Brown called it an “administrative error” but refused to say who had made the mistake, or if those responsible would be disciplined （受训）。

Six years later，the non-profit group is building a new school somewhere every 90 hours. It has helped more than 22 000 children in Africa，Asia and Latin America.It all started when Adam Braun was a college student. He was visiting India when a boy stopped him on the street.

The National Christmas Tree Association says more than35 million of them were bought last year in the United States．In large American cities，many people buy trees that have already been cut. But many people drive to a tree farm and cut their own tree. Some buy one from a catalogue or online，and the tree is then delivered to their home. It is estimated that 10．9 million artificial trees were sold in 2012，compared to 24．5 million natural trees. The average cost of a natural tree was＄40，and about＄70 for an artificial one.Most Christmas trees are now grown on farms. The trees take six to ten years to grow. In some states，fewer than half of the planted trees survived the weather conditions to become Christmas trees．To make sure there is always a supply，farmers usually plant one to three new saplings for every tree they cut down.The Christmas Tree Association says real trees are better for the environment. That is because as Christmas trees grow，they collect carbon dioxide and other gases while supplying fresh oxygen. The trees also protect water supplies.Christmas trees are grown on soil that does not support other crops. Some people throwaway their natural tree when the holiday season ends. But many people recycle them. There are many ways to do this. Christmas trees can be cut up to be used as fertilizer. They can also be cut and used to prevent the wearing down of soil. Christmas trees helped many communities to prevent the sand from blowing away.Artificial- trees，which are mostly made of plastics，can be reused for years. Families use them for an average of six to nine years before throwing them away. But these trees can remain in a landfill(垃圾填埋场）for hundreds of years.28．What can be inferred from the passage？A. The lower prices may contribute to people’s preference for natural trees.B. In 2012 more natural Christmas trees were sold than artificial ones.C.

You can think of it as an imaginary “bubble" around you——you can’t see it，but when someone else gets into the bubble，you’ll start to feel uncomfortable.But how big is this space？According to a new study，the size of the space is different for different people，but generally it is between 20 to 40 centimeters in front of the face，reported LosAngeles Times．In the study，researchers from University College of London asked volunteers to hold their hands at different distances from their face. They then gave them an electric shock on their hand while measuring how often the volunteers blinked. The results among volunteers were a little different，but the average personal space was 20 to 40 centimeters．Researchers also found that the more anxious a person was，the larger their personal space was because they were more sensitive.Besides psychological factors，culture is also thought to be able to change your personal space．For example，a person who grew up in a country that hugs a lot has less of a problem with strangers getting too close than a person who grew up in one with more distance between people.People’s senses of personal space also depend on the environments they are in.“If you are chatting to someone in your living room，you won’ t have a large safety margin at all，”explained researcher Gian Domenico．“But if you are walking through a dangerous area，then that will be much bigger.”Sadly，sometimes people just don’t understand the idea of personal space and keep getting into yours. Whenever that happens，rather than trying to step backwards，researchers suggest that you“create a new space" by turning to wave at someone passing by or to get something out of your bag.32．What can we learn about the personal space from the passage？A. It is 30 centimeters between people.B. The size of it differs from person to person.C. More sensitive people have smaller personal space.D. People who often hug have larger personal space.33．How did the researchers get the size of average personal space？A. By measuring the volunteers’blink frequency while applying electric shocks．B. By doing a survey about the volunteers’psychological condition.C. By finding out about the volunteers’childhood experiences．D. By giving volunteers electric shocks while they felt more anxious.34．The underlined word in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to“_________”.A. factorB. sideC. spaceD. blank35．According to the researchers，what should you do when people step into your personal space？A. Try to step backwards.B. Look them in the eye.C. Push them away.D. Turn to wave at a passerby.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
