(一)

“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 example, 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.

G. This is one way of being nice to people, and it’s a part of the game

of language.

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

页脚 15 to 20minutes five days a week．

Then I kept doing what I should do. People sometimes say, "You don't need to

tell me what to do．I know it already!" But the fact is that knowing what to do and

doing what you know are different.（5）

A. But I bought nothing．

B. Use only vegetable oil．

C. What was the secret to my success？

D. I must lose my weight at once

E. The doctor told me that I was having heart trouble.

F. The important thing is to know what to do and then just keep doing it．

G. Do what I said.

(三)

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 concentrate on what you enjoy.

B．These successes are “proof ” （证明）that you can do it.

C．I still feel a little uncomfortable when I realize.

D．However, others may not even notice your mistake.

E．I could even take part in speaking competitions.

F．remember past successes.w
