“How are you?” is a nice question. It’s a friendly greeting that people in the United States use. __1__ It’s a question that often doesn’t need an answer. The person who asks, “How are you?” expects to hear the answer “Fine,” even if the person isn’t fine. The reason is that “How are you?” isn’t really a question and “Fine” isn’t really an answer. ___2_.
Sometimes, people don’t say exactly what they mean. For example, when someone asks “Do you agree?” the other person may be thinking, “No, I don’t. I think you are wrong.” It isn’t polite to disagree very strongly, so he might say, “I am not so sure.” __3__
People also don’t say exactly what they are thinking when they finish talking to other people. For e xample, many conversations over the phone end when one person says, “I’ve got to go now,” or the person who wants to hang up gives an excuse such as “Someone is at the door,” or “Something is burning on the stove.” __4__ The person who wants to hang up simply doesn’t want to talk any more, but it isn’t polite to say so. An excuse is polite, and it doesn’t hurt the other person’s feelings.
Whether they are greeting each other, talking about an opinion, or ending a conversation, people often don’t say exactly what they are thinking. ___5__
A. This is a nice way to say that you don’t agree with someone.
B. It’s very good not to tell the truth to our family.
C. However, “How are you?” is also an unusual question.
D. The excuse may be real, or not.
E. They are common ways of saying “hello” or hi”.
F. If you disagree with others, they will hate you.

I was once a fat girl. I weighed 336 pounds and looked as big as my fridge. I was never worried about it．But one day I had a medical examination (体检)．（1） It woke me up.
I began to feel nervous．Then I decided to do something!
In a year and five months, I lost 104 pounds. What a great thing I did! I didn't have any expensive food, medical treatment （治疗）or camp﹣style（训练营式的）exercise.
（2）First I looked through the Internet for do﹣it﹣yourself advice that people could follow on losing weight. Of course I saw countless ads（广告）which try to get me to buy their products．（3）The only thing I did was to change my bad habits．The following are what I have done. You can try these.
Stop drinking something with too much sugar in it．Refuse sweet cakes．Eat green vegetables．（4） Never eat after 6：30pm．Also, do light exercise for 15 to 20minutes five days a week．

When I was small, I was kind of shy. Luckily, I changed a lot by junior high. Shyness gets in the way of success, but it doesn't have to hold you back. Here are some tips that may help you overcome it.
1 The excitement of being lost at something that you love can help you forget your nervousness while showing off in public.
Next, why not get more chances to speak in public? For me, when I got to high school, I took speech classes. 2
Then, don’t think about what will happen. It’s possible that you might be laughed at when speaking. 3 What really happens is better than what we imagine.
Finally, 4 Remembering past successes can help inspire you to get future success. 5 If you succeeded in the past, then you can succeed again! It's actually natural to be a little bit nervous about meeting new people, making cold calls, or giving a speech. That nervousness doesn't have to keep you from succeeding, though.
A．First of all, you’d better co ncentrate on what you enjoy.
B．These successes are “proof ” （证明）that you can do it.

Everything about the school seemed so difficult. When I got home, my parents said, “You’re nervous and that’s okay. Everyone is afraid of high school.”36 I wanted to be strong, so I refused to let anyone know about my fear, even my closest friends. On the first day I was late for every class and was constantly lost. 37 Was thi s how the whole year was going to be? I didn’t think I could rise to this challenge, especially carrying a huge backpack that I could hardly lift. It was so big that I could knock someone out with it! The schoolmates seemed to regard me as a fool, and they were probably right. 38 With the exception of falling up and down the stairs a couple of times and getting laughed at, high school was turning out to be not so bad. It was actually much better than middle school and much more challenging. Since then, I’ve been elected vice president of my class, which wasn’t much of a victory since only three people ran for the four positions. It is normal to be scared about a new school. Take a deep breath and relax. 39 Make sure you participate in some out-of-class activities because you’ll find it easier to make friends. Try to do your best, even if it isn’t straight A’s.

高考英语七选五阅读填空试题 七选五阅读填空是近几年在宁夏、海南和北京等省、市高考英语试卷中出现的一种综合测试阅读理解的新题型。该题主要考查考生对文章的整体内容、结构以及上下文逻辑意义的理解和掌握。 命题特点 本题型的阅读材料是一篇长度为180—300词的短文，文中有五处空白，分别在各个段落的段首、段中或段尾。文后有七句话（均为完整句子），要求我们根据文章结构、内容从短文后的七个选项中选出五个能填入文章空白处的最佳选项。由于给出的选项中，有的选项区分度不大，试题的难度比常规阅读试题有所增加，而且会出现由于一处误选导致多处错答的后果。 命题规律 七选五阅读填空不仅要求我们对所读短文的主旨要义、具体信息有所了解，更要能够把握全篇文脉和作者的谋篇思路。故此，所选材料通常是我们所熟悉的大众化话题，一般多为说明文，也有议论文和记叙文，正文与选项累计词数在300—350。短文不会少于三个自然段，不会在同一个自然段设两个以上的空白。文章的第一句不会设空（有小标题的题除外）。所留空白处一般是段落主题句、段落总结句、承上启下句、关键论点支撑句或全篇概括归纳句等。所给的七个选项中有两个选项与正确选项干扰性较大。 解题策略 1．通读全文，勾勒连接词语，理清语段的句际关系。 构成语段的各个句子之间存在句际关系，文章的内容是根据各层各段的大意有机地组合而成，各个层次，各个段落之间不管怎样错落有致，但他们所表达的内容都是要围绕中心的，各句之间都有一定的语脉，这种语脉从逻辑意义上来看，存在并列、顺序（时间、空间）、递进、转折、总分、归纳、解释、因果等关系。构成语段的各个句子之间有时可以包含一种以上的句际关系。 2．利用关键词解题，一般空格的正确选项与紧邻的上下句都有明显的关键词在起作用，所以只要找出空格上一句或下一句当中的关键词，然后在七个选项中找出同样的关键词，就能准确地确定选项。 3．正确理解七个选项的内在含义，推测各项的使用语境。 4．从句意、语境包括语法功能及句子的长度来比较分析各选项。 5．适当采用排除法，根据文章的逻辑关系排除不恰当选项。 典型例题 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The Olympic Weightlifting While weightlifting is used in many sports and athletic training, Olympic weightlifting is the name of the official sport name.1There are special conditions they have to meet in order to compete: body weight, height and strength. 2How fast and with what level of mobility（活动性）can the athlete perform the lift?
