I have forgotten what the argument was about, but I have never forgotten the lesson I learned that day.I was sure that “I” was right and “he” was wrong---and he was just as sure that “I” was wrong and “he” was right. The teacher decided to teach us a very important lesson. She brought us up to the front of the class and placed him on one side of her desk and me on the other.In the middle of her desk was a large, round object. I could clearly see that it was black. She asked the boy what color the object was. “White,” he answered.I couldn’t believe he said the object was white, when it was obviously black! Another argument started between my classmate and me, this time about the color of the object.The teacher told me to go to stand where the boy was standing and told him to come to stand where I had been. We changed places, and then she asked me what the color of the object was. I h ad to answer, “White.” It was an object withtwo differently colored sides, and from his side it was white. Only from my side it was black.My teacher taught me a very important lesson that day: You must stand in the other person’s shoes and look at the si tuation through their eyes in order to truly understand their perspective(看法).5．When brought up to the front of the class, the two students were sitting ______.

To keep a healthy and bright tone in your voice, smile when talking on a phone.Don’t answer the phone in a rush. Stop for a moment, take a deep breath, and then breathe out slowly as you pick up the receiver. If you recognize the other person’s voice, use his/her name on your greeting, and you will sound more relaxed. Use it again during the conversation and when saying goodbye. When making a difficult call, work out in advance exactly what you wish to say. Stand while making the call---it will help you sound firm.If you know somebody is going to talk a lot, make it clear at the start ofthe call that you have only a limited time. There are several ways to make a call short: “It’s been lovely talking to you, but I really must stop” or “I know you are quite busy, so I’d better go now.” If all fail, try, “My other li ne is ringing” or “I think there is someone at the door.”With the increasing use of tele-communication and cell phone, it has become of great importance that we pay special attention to HOW and WHAT we speak on the phones.9．While you are making a call to someone, you ________________.A．can easily become tired and disappointedB．needn’t care for your body language too muchC．should try to make your voice healthy and brightD．had better keep friendly to the other people10．Before answering a call from your friend, you should _________________a. keep calmb. stop for a whilec. use his/her named. take a deep breathe. stand straightA．a, b, d B．b, c, dC．c, d, e D．a, c, e11．What is the best title of this passage?A．It’s good to keep your voice sweet.B．The body language is important.C．Voice has something to do with body language.D．How and what we speak on the phones.How and when did Australia begin? It is believed that Australian history began at the end of the eighteenth century. After several centuries of European Voyaging in the southern oceans, the English naval officer James Cook sailed the eastern coast in 1770, named it New South Wales and took control of it in the name of his king.Within twenty years, the British government sent a team of explorers tosettle in New South Wales. On 26 January 1788, its commander, Arthur Phillip, began to rule over the eastern half of the country. The thousand officers, soldiers, officials, and prisoners who got off from the eleven ships of the First Fleet, anchored (停泊) in the port of Sydney. They prepared the way for later immigrants who spread out over the continent.This is the story of a sleep land brought to life by Endeavour, the name given to Cook’s ship and the q uality given to those who followed him.The newcomers brought with them some animals, plants and tools. They also brought with them new ideas. That achievement in turn shaped what Australia is now.12．According to this passage, Australian history began at the end of____________.A．the sixteenth centuryB．the seventeenth centuryC．the eighteenth centuryD．the nineteenth century13．The eastern coast of Australia was named New South Wales in 1770.
