Key sentences重点句子 (P86) Do you know where I can ...? Can you tell me where I can ...? Ability goals能力目标 Enable the Ss to learn how to ask for directions politely. Emotion && attitude goals情感和态度目标 Be polite when you ask for information. Strategy goals策略目标 Matching. Culture awareness goals文化意识目标 Etiquette in English language. Teaching important points教学重点 Expressions used to ask for directions politely. Teaching procedures and ways教学过程与方式 Step I Lead-in (1a: P86) T: Good morning / afternoon, boys and girls. Nice to see you again. Ss: Good morning / afternoon. T: Do you like traveling? I am sure most of you do. When we are traveling in strange cities, sometimes we may find it difficult to get to a place. So we have to ask the locals for information. What do you usually say when you ask for directions, for example, you want to visit a museum? What should we pay attention to when we ask others for information? S: I think we should be very polite in using language. T: You are right. In this unit, we will learn some polite expressions in English used to ask for information. They will be very helpful for you, especially when you travel in English-speaking countries. Ask the Ss to match the places with activities in 1a, introduce the structures “Do you know where I can ... / Could you tell me where I can ...” to them. T: What kinds of places do you usually go to in your city? List as many as possible. S: Restaurant, bank, museum, theater, department store, shopping mall, bookstore, post office, supermarket, park and so on. T: What do you do in a post office? S1: I can send mails to my friends or buy some stamps. T: Good. What do you do in a shopping mall? S2: I usually go to the shopping mall with my mother and buy some clothing there. T: OK. Now look at the box in 1a on page 86, suppose you want to do the following things, match each thing with a place in the picture below. There may be different answers. After the Ss finish matching, collect the answers. T: Now suppose you are not in your own city, you are traveling in another city, which you are not familiar. For example, you want to save money but you don’t know where the bank is. What would you do? S3: I would ask a local citizen for help. T: What would you say then? S3: Where is the nearest bank? I can’t find it. T: If I were the local citizen, I would say nothing and turn away. S3: Why? T: Because your request sounds very impolite. He / She won’t help a rude person, you see? We can use the following expressions instead to ask for help. Show the following structures on the screen. Could you tell me where I can ...? Do you know where I can get to ...? T: By using these two structures, your requests may sound very polite and I am sure he / she will tell you how you can get to the bank. Will you have a try Make? S3: Could you tell me where I can get to the nearest bank? T: Great, that sounds much better. Or we can also say “Do you know where I can save money?” Make more sentences using these two expressions. S: Do you know where I can buy any local presents? Could you tell me where I can make a phone call? Step II Listening and Speaking (1b && 1c: P86) Ask the Ss to listen and complete the conversations. After that let the Ss work in pairs andpractice the structures orally. T: Now listen to the tape and complete the conversations in the picture. Check the answers. T: Work in pairs, and make conversations by following the example. Sample conversations: 1. S1: Hi, good morning. S2: Hi, good morning. S1: Where are you going? S2: I’m going to buy shampoo for my mother. Do you know where I can buy the cheapest shampoo? S1: I know a mall between the cinema and the bookstore on River Road. Things are very cheap and nice there. S2: Thank you very much. 2. S1: Excuse me. Can you tell me where I can drink some coffee? S2: Sure. There is a Starbucks Café on the first floor of that building. S1: Thank you. 3. S1: Excuse me. Do you know where I can mail a package? S2: Yes. The post office just around the corner. S1: Thank you very much. Step III Homework Ask the Ss to prepare for the next period: Talk about directions. 初中学习网，资料共分享！我们负责传递知识！。

海淀：D“You don’t have to be great to get started, but you have to get started to be great.”I believe it is thought normal in today’s society to just let life happen to us.I also believe that we sometimes damage our well-planned thoughts about success because it is easier to just carry on as usual rather than ‘try’with the possibility of failure in mind.The main reason why most people never get moving is because they have no real idea about what they want. Without a certain result already set in your mind, it is really difficult to get going, and even if you do, your motivation (动力) may soon disappear and you give up before too long.Why not consider what is really important in your life? Write down what excites you, what would truly make you happy and what problems you have. At the end of the week, take a careful look at the notes you have taken. You will soon begin to see a clearer picture of what direction you should be heading.Knowledge is useless without action. You can read every book on any subject but your life will stay the same if you do not use that knowledge. This may seem clear but the reason why the self-help industry is thriving (繁荣的) is because people read and r ead and read but never use the information provided.Knowledge is fantastic but it is not life changing until used. I love to read personal development material to keep a positive attitude towards my life, but I also realize that if I don’t set goals to achieve, then I will always be a talk the talk person who isgreat at giving advice but useless at realizing it. If you have no plans of practicing what you say, then it may be best to keep your mouth closed.Do you want to know who you are? Don’t ask. Act! Action will explain you. Whatever excuses we have for not living up to our talent, the fact is that time will always move forward. Be whatever you want to be and whatever you can be. Always remember the only limits we have are the ones we create for ourselves. Life is not what we think, it is what we experience when we act upon the thoughts we entertain.58. In Paragraph Two, the writer wants to ________.A. tell us what people need to get successB. show us what people set in their mindC. inform us why people should practiceD. explain why people stop going ahead59. The underlined phrase “living up to”probably means ________.A. matchingB. showingC. wastingD. losing60. What is the best title for the passage?A. See a Clear Picture of Life.B. Get Started to Be Great.C. Set Goals to Achieve.D. Act upon Thoughts.58. D 59. A 60. D西城：阅读理解（共44分）DShe was only about five feet tall and probably never weighed more than 110 pounds, but Miss Bessie was a towering presence in the classroom. She was the only woman tough enough to make me read Beowulf and think for a few stupid days that I liked it. From 1938 to 1942, she taught me English, history —and a lot more than I realized.I shall never forget the day she scolded (批评) me into reading Beowulf. “But Miss Bessie,”I complained, “I ain’t much interested in it.”Her large brown eyes became sharp. “Boy,”she said, “how dare you say ‘ain’t’to me! I’ve taught you better than that.”“Miss Bessie,”I said, “I’m trying to join the football team, and if I go around saying ‘it isn’t’and ‘they aren’t,’the guys are gonna laugh me off the team.”“Boy,”she replied, “you’ll play football because you have guts (勇气). But do you know what really takes guts? Refusing to lower your standards to those of the crowd. It takes guts to say you’ve got to live and be somebody fifty years after all the football games are over.”I started saying “it isn’t”and “they aren’t,”and I still joined the team withoutlosing my friends’respect.Negroes, as we were called then, were not allowed in the town library, except to sweep floors or clean tables. But with the help of some nice whites, Miss Bessie kept getting books out of the white library. That is how she introduced me to the Brontës, Byron and Keats. “If you don’t read, you can’t write, and if you can’t write, you might as well stop dreaming,”Miss Bessie once told me.So I read whatever Miss Bessie told me to, and tried to remember the things she insisted that I store away. It could be embarrassing to be unprepared when Miss Bessie said, “Get up and tell the class who Frances Perkins is and what you think about her.”Forty-five years later, I can still recite her “truths to live by”.Miss Bessie noticed things that had nothing to do with schoolwork, but were essential to a youngster’s development. Once a few classmates made fun of my worn-out hand-me-down overcoat. As I was leaving school, Miss Bessie patted me on the back of that old overcoat and said, “Carl, never worry about what you don’t have. Just make the most of what you do have —a brain.”No child can get all the necessary support at home, and millions of poor children get no support at all. This is what makes a wise, educated, warm-hearted teacher like Miss Bessie so essential to the minds, hearts and souls of this country’s children.57. The underlined words “towering presence”in the first paragraph means _______.A. Miss Bessie was strong enough to influence her studentsB. Miss Bessie was watching the students all the timeC. the students thought she was tall and heavyD. the students felt nervous in front of her58. What can we infer from the passage?A. Carl’s friends came from poor families.B. Carl hated to read Beowulf in public.C. Miss Bessie wanted Carl to be a better man.D. Miss Bessie didn’t want Carl to play foot ball.59. Miss Bessie asked Carl to read a lot because _______.A. his parents were too poor to afford booksB. he was not allowed into the libraryC. the whites didn’t want the blacks to readD. she expected him to have a goal in life60. Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?A. Dreams Go with EducationB. An Unforgettable LessonC. Unforgettable Miss BessieD. Reading Makes a Full Man57. A 58. C 59. D 60. C东城：DBreakfast is the most important meal of the day, but many people don’t have it.Common reasons for not eating breakfast include shortage of time, not feeling hungry, traditional dislike for breakfast, and dieting（节食）.Breakfast simply means “break the fast”. You eat nothing for at least 6 to 12 hours each night. Even though you have been sleeping, you have still been burning energy. And in the morning your body needs energy for the day’s work ahead.A good breakfast should provide up to 1/3 of your total calories（卡路里）that your body needs for the day. Generally speaking, we eat 400 less calories for breakfast than for dinner. If breakfast doesn’t interest you in the morning, try eating a lighter dinner earlier in the evening or save half your dinner for breakfast in the morning.If you still aren’t hungry in the morning, start with something small like juice or bread or have nutritious（有营养的）mid-morning snack later when you are hungry.So, you say you’re on a diet. Some people are afraid that eating breakfast will make them hungrier during the day and they will eat more. It is true that eating breakfast is likely to make you feel hungry throughout the day. That’s because your body is working correctly. Although you may feel as if you are eating more all day long, in fact you’re probably not.Not eating breakfast may cause you to overeat, because a fall in blood sugar often makes you feel hungry later. To make things worse, since your body is in a slowed state, it will not be able to burn those extra calories well. If you feed your body healthy snacks and meals throughout the day, you may not become hungry so easily and eat too much when you have meals.Since breakfast is the first and most important meal of the day, your choice is important. The best breakfast foods are fruits, juice, lean meat, and grain products such as bread, rice, noodles and cereals.58. The underlined word “fast”means “a period during which someone ________.”A. moves quicklyB. works hardC. goes without foodD. sleeps in bed59. From the passage, we know that ________.A. breakfast provides us most of the energyB. breakfast may help to save the dinnerC. breakfast might make people overeatD. breakfast helps our body work well60. What is the best title for this passage?A. Breakfast and EnergyB. Why Not Eat BreakfastC. Breakfast and DietingD. What to Eat for Breakfast57. A 58. C 59. D 60. B朝阳：DChristmas is a time for shopping. But I think those of us who live in large ci ties in Asia would be cheating ourselves if we said this is the only time we are busyshopping. No, from Bangkok to Singapore, from Shanghai to Manila, shopping—especially shopping in large centers—is a year-round activity.Shopping centers are good. They show Asia’s surprising economic (经济的) growth, and how far we have come in such a short time. For many of the older generation who can remember a time when everyone lived in villages and there was no running water, the air-conditioned centre means comfort, choice, luxury (豪华) and better times.Nowadays, it seems our usual activities happen in the centre—it’s where we shop, eat, watch movies, meet our friends or just generally walk around.Further more, we have come to regard shopping centers as important landmarks or tourist attractions(吸引). Whole generations of Asians are growing up to think that, besides home and school, the shopping center is the most natural place to be. My idea about shopping centers is not that they are often big buildings that look quite different from other parts in a city, or that they promote (促进) shopping at a time when our planet can hardly afford it. My main idea about centers is that they don’t really seem to make us happy. The large advertisements outside the stores could make us think that if we only had this pair of jeans, or if we hung out at this cafédrinking coffee, then we could feel more successful. But once we buy something, we only want to buy something more—as everyone already knows. Shopping centers, even though they try to look as welcoming as possible, can be unkind places. To make us buy, they must make us feel that we are short of something, or that everyone else has something we do not yet own. We must wantto surpass others or at the very least to keep up. How can this thought always trying to be cool bring us true joy?The saddest thing is that the modern centre has stopped us from many beautiful, necessary and important activities. We have no one to blame (责怪) but ourselves. Instead of shopping, we could be cooking, visiting a nearby waterfall, going to the beach, reading a novel, taking a long walk, playing a sport, learning a dance or visiting each other’s homes.Every time we have a spare piece of land, all we can think of building on it is yet another centre. Perhaps instead, we should be building libraries, theatres, museums, sports halls, public swimming pools, parks—the list is endless. We might even consider leaving t hat land alone. This is something that the centre may have caused us to forget—in order to be happy, we must create as well as consume (消费).57. What is the writer’s attitude towards shopping centers?A. He likes them very much.B. He doesn’t like them at all.C. He likes them only a little.D. He doesn’t like all of them.58. Why do more and more shopping centers appear in some Asian countries?A. Because economy in the world develops very fast.B. Because shopping centers have attracted tourists all over the world.C. Because people go shopping in large shopping centers all year round.D. Because shopping centers have become an important part in everyone’s life.59. What is the greatest disadvantage of shopping centers, according to the writer?A. They don’t seem to make us happy.B. They lead us to buy more and more things.C. They force us to give up many other activities.D. They have us fall into endless competition with others.60. Which of the following is not true?A. It is very easy for us to find a shopping centre in a big city.B. There are usually all kinds of services in a shopping center.C. The government must be responsible for the writer’s sadness.D. Besides shopping, there’re many other activities we can enjoy.朝阳答案：（D）57B58D59C60.C石景山：DDo you know that women’s brains are smaller than men’s? Normally the women’s brain weighs 10% less than men’s. Since research has shown that the bigger the brain, the cleverer the animal, men must be more intelligent（聪明的）than women. Right? Wrong. Men and women always score similarly on intelligence tests, despite the difference in brain size. Why? After years of study, researchers have concludedthat it’s what’s inside that matters, not just the size of the brain. The brain is made up of “grey matter”and “white matter”. While men have more of the white matter, the amount（数量）of “thinking”brain is almost the same in both men and women. It has been suggested that smaller brain appears to work faster, perhaps because the two sides of the brain are better connected in women. This means that little girls may learn to speak earlier, and that women can understand sorts of different information at the same time. When it comes to talking to the boss on the phone, cooking dinner and keeping an eye on the baby all at the same time, it’s women who come out on top every ti me.There are other important differences between two sexes（性别）. As white matter is the key to spatial（空间的）tasks, men know better where things are in relation to other things. “A great footballer always knows where he is in relation to the other players, and he knows where to go,”says one researcher. That may explain one of life’s great mysteries: why men refuse to ask for directions …and women often need to!The differences begin when fetuses（胎儿）are about nine weeks old, which can be seen in the action of children when they are very young. A boy would try to climb a barrier before him or push it down while a girl would ask for help from others. These brain differences also explain the fact that more men take up jobs that require good spatial skills, while more women speech skills. It may all go back to our ancestors, among whom women needed speech skills to take care of their babies and men needed spatial skills to hunt, according to one research.57. Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 1?A. Grey matter controls thinking in the brain.B. Men’s brain is 10% less than women’s.C. Grey matter plays the same role as white matter.D. Men and women have the same amount of white matter.58. What can you infer from Paragraphs 2 and 3?A. Men have weaker spa tial abilities.B. Women do not need to tell directions.C. Women prefer doing many things at a time.D. Women do many jobs at a time better than men.59. What can you learn from Paragraph 4?A. Our children needed more spatial skills.B. Women may have more feelings than men.C. Young boys may be stronger than young girls.D. More women take up jobs requiring speech skills.60. The passage is mainly about _______.A. ways of being more intelligentB. differences between men and womenC. studies on brains between two sexesD. studies on white matter and grey matter57. A 58. D 59. D 60. C昌平：DCan you imagine the very first modern Olympics in 1896 with no landing mats (海绵垫), no stopwatches and no photo finishes? In fact, c ameras and stopwatches were not used until the 1932 Olympic Games in Los Angeles, USA. Thanks for technology, Olympics have been developing at an unbel ievable speed.Today technology has completely changed sports. Take sports equipment for example. Electronic eyes hanging at the starting lines,together with digital cameras, could catch correct race timeand also help to catch runners who “jump the gun”. Asrunners cross the finishing line, special digital cameras canalso easily decide the winner. The days of “dead heats”aregone.Technological developments are also good for athletes. New sports suits, which get less wind effects, can help cut up to one-tenth of a second from runners’race time. Top athletes, like Liu Xiang, are even provided with hand-made sports shoes. These shoes are made to fit the athlete exactly -- and there are some more changes in the shoes that meet each runner’s personal needs.Technology has also changed the way of many sports. Take one example -- the pole vault. The landing mat makes a big difference to the vaulting style as athletesno longer need to worry about hurting themselves as they fall. Without these worries, athletes could jump higher. New swimming pools have been used to help swimmers swim with easier effort and sports scientists have worked out a new swimming style to improve the speed.The increasing technological developments have led many sportsmen to suggest that the “Olympic spirit”is being lost in a rush to break records and win medals. Many developing countries say that technology has become too important in sport and that athletes from developing countries are disadvantaged. There are no easy answers but one thing is sure -- we cannot turn back times. Technology cannot go backwards.The underlined phrase “dead heats”means __________.A. sports equipment which was out of dateB. runners who jumped the gun while runningC. diseases which killed runners in hot weatherD. races in which runners finished at the same timeWhat infers from the fourth paragraph?A. Scientists can measure the speed of swimming.B. The pole vault was not quite safe in the past.C. Pole vaulters jump lower with landing mats.D. New pools have changed the style of swimming.The purpose of the writer in writing this article is _______.A to suggest we should keep up with the timesB to suggest we reduce technology in OlympicsC to suggest we train better athletes like Liu XiangD to suggest we care more about developing countries58-60 DBA房山：DWhat's your dream vacation? Watching wildlife in Kenya? Boating down the Amazon? Sunbathing in Malaysia? New chances are opening up all the time to visit the world. So we visit travel companies, compare prices, and pay our money.We know what our vacation costs us. But do we know what it might cost someone else? It's true that many poorer countries now depend on tourism for foreign income. Unfortunately, though, tourism often harms the local(本地的) people more than it helps them.It might cost their homes and lands. In Myanmar, 5,200 people were forced to leave their homes among the pagodas(佛塔) in Bagan so that tourists could visit the pagodas.Tourism might also cost the local people their jobs and dignity(尊严). Local workers often find only low-paying jobs in the tourist industry. And most of the money do not help the local economy（经济）. Instead, money return to the tour operators in richer countries, When the Maasai people in Tanzania were driven fromtheir lands, some moved to poor places of the city. Others now make a little money selling things or acting for photos.Problems like these were noticed more than 20 years ago. But now tour operators and local governments are working together to begin correcting them. Tourists, too, are putting on the pressure.The result is “ethical（合乎职业道德的）tourism”. Ethical tourism has people at its heart. New international agreements and rules can help protect the people's lands, homes, economies and cultures. The beginnings are small, though, and the problems are complex(复杂的).But take heart. The good news is that everyone, including us, can play a part to help the local people in the places we visit. T our operators and companies can help by making sure that local people work in good conditions and earn the money they should get.They can make it a point to use only locally owned hotel, restaurants and guide services. They can share some money to help the local economy. And they can help the local people plan and manage tourism.What can tourists do? First, we can ask tour companies to provide information about the conditions of local people. We can then make our choices and tell them why. And while we're abroad, we can:Buy local foods and products.Pay a fair price for goods and services and not bargain for the cheapest price.Ask before taking photographs of people.They are not just part of the scenery!Let's enjoy our vacation and make sure others do, too.57. Which of the following is not mentioned?A. Local people protected the pagodas in Bagan well.B. Tourists may stay in hotels opened by local people.C. Local people are mainly provided with low-paying work.D. T ourists had better not bargain with local people for a cheap price.58. The underlined phrase "take heart" means" ".A. pay attentionB. take careC. cheer upD. give up59. According to the passage, the writer thinks .A. tourism is not a promising industryB. dream vacations should be spent abroadC. the problems caused by tourism are easy to settleD. tourists should respect local customs and cultures60. What is probably the best title for the passage?A. Tourism Causes Bad Effects.B. Tourism Calls for Good Behavior.C. Vacations Bring a Lot of Fun.D. Vacations Cost More Than You Think.57．A 58．C 59．D 60．D平谷：DPeople cannot reach an agreement on the use of science and technology. For example, will radiation from electronic equipment destroy the environment? Should medical scientists change gene structures to prevent genetic disease or to create “more perfect”human beings? While people are arguing about these and others, technology continues to influence our everyday lives—the home, health and education, entertainment and communication, and so on.Some people carry on active social lives with computers —their own or the ones in public places like cafes, social centers, libraries, and so on. Communicating with others in chat rooms, computer users can get to know people they might never meet in traditional ways. With live online video connections, two people with cameras in their computers can see and talk to each other from separate places.With modern telephone technology, most people stopped writing lettters—especially personal letters and notes. But now, writing to communicate has returned in electronic form, or e-mail, which is a way of sending messages from one computer to another. For some computer users, the wish to communicate intelligently or creatively with others makes them want to write better.Computer technology has also made it possible to run a house electronically. From turning lights on and off to starting the coffee and cooking the hot meal, computers are taking care of people at home. Many modern machines ha vecomputer chips that allow their owners to program them. For instance, you can “instruct”a microwave oven how to cook a dish. Most entertainment equipment operates with computer technology too. Computers can even start cars automatically so that on cold winter mornings you can get into a warmed-up vehicle and drive off.Although much of th e technology in our everyday lives has good effects, there are some uses that raise questions. For example, are interactive media ( i.e., a combination of television, telephone, and computer) going to control minds, cause people to forget about family life and personal relationships? What effects will the genentic engineering of food have on people’s health? High-tech medical treatments can make a person live a much longer life, but can they improve the health and happiness of human beings? Only time will tell, but, in the meantime, science and technology will continue to move forward.57. What does the underlined word “chips”mean?A. thin pieces of potatoesB. small holesC. small pieces of woodD. central parts58.We can know from the passage that _________.A. technology never stops changing our everyday livesB. with computers each of us can live a comfortable lifeC. people can do more activities with computersD. the more you use computers, the better you might write59. What can we infer from the underlined sentence in the last paragraph?A. The longer you live, the happier you are.B. High-tech medical treatments can’t improve our health and happiness.C. High-tech medical treatments can’t help us with everything.D.The writer questioned high-tech medical treatments somehow.60. What is the best title for the passage?A. Science and New TechnologyB. Computers Change Our LivesC. Everyday Uses of T echnologyD. Only Time Will Tell（D）57. D 58. A 59.D 60.B密云：(D)Farmer Ed Rawlings smiles as he looks at his orange trees. The young oranges are growing well in Florida’s weather. Warm sunshine and gentle rains, along with Ed Rawlings’expert care, will produce a good crop（收成）of oranges this year. However, Ed has to guard against Florida’s changeable winter weather. In January and February, temperatures can destroy Ed’s entire orange crop. Having farmed in Florida for the past 35 years, Ed is prepared for the frost(霜). When temperatures drop below freezing, Ed tries to save his crop by watering his orange trees. Thewater freezes and forms a thin layer(层) of ice around the trees. Strange as it may sound, this thin layer of ice actually keeps the fruit warm.What happens is simple. When the trees are watered, the water loses heat and becomes ice. The warmth of the heat it loses is taken in by the fruit and keeps its temperature at a safe level. Ed has effectively used this method to save many orange crops.But Ed still faces difficulties. The trees must be watered at the exact moment the temperature drops to the freezing point. Also, just the right quantity(数量)of water must be used. Too much water can form a thicker layer of ice that will break the tree’s branches(树枝). Another difficulty is that wind blows away the heat, so Ed has to worry about not only when but also how often his trees should be watered, and how much water should be used.Computer techn ology may help Ed with some of these worries. With equipment(设备), air and soil temperatures and wind speed can be measured. The information is fed into a computer which can calculate(计算) when the temperature will drop below freezing. The computer can correctly decide the quantity of water to be used and how frequently( ) the trees should be watered. Ed finds looking after his orange trees a lot easier with the help of a computer, and, his customers will have the benefits(利益) of computer—age oranges.58. The passage is mainly about______.A. a farmer expert cares for his orange treesB. the different uses of computersC. growing oranges in Florida’s changeable weatherD. different ways of frost protection59. Ed tries to protect his crop by______.A. using a wind machine to drive away the cold airB. equipping his orange trees with a computerC. watering it at the proper timeD. picking his fruit at the first sign of frost60. According to the passage, the computer technology______.A. removes the need for frost protectionB. prevents temperature from droppingC. tells farmers why outdoor temperatures changeD. helps the farmer get a better harvest58. A 59. C 60. D怀柔：DOur spiritual intelligence quotient, SQ (精神智商)helps us understand ourselves and live fuller, happier lives.While we’re all born with SQ, most of us even don’t know that we have it. Luckily, you don’t have to sign up for classes to learn how to enhance(加强) your SQ. Here are some simple steps that can lead you to this new level of understanding: Sit Quietly. The step of developing SQ begins in solitude （独处）and silence. To tune in to its whisper, you have to keep away from your busy, n oisy, complicated life and make yourself do nothing at all. At home, for example, shut the door of your bedroom, take a few deep breaths and let them out very, very slowly.Step Outside. For many people, nature makes their spirit free. Go outside to watch a beautiful sunset. Follow the flight of a bird; watch clouds floating overhead.Find An Activity You Enjoy. It’s important to find a hobby that helps you tune in to your spirit. Garden, walk or jog, arrange flowers, listen to music that touches your soul.Ask Questions Of Yourself. Some people use their thoughtful time to focus on scriptures (经文). Others ask open-ended (无确定答案的) questions, such as “What am I feeling? What are my choices?”But don’t expect an answer to arrive through some super-natural form of e-mail. Later that day you’ll suddenly find yourself thinking about a problem from a perspective (角度) you never considered before.Trust Your Spirit. While most of us rely on gut feelings (直觉) to warn us of danger, SQ usually nudges （渐渐推动）us, not away from, but toward some action that will lead to a greater good.57. T o enhance your SQ, you should first _______________.。
