And we may often find it difficult to do that. However, here are five tips on how to change someone’s mind.The first one is never to turn the conversation into an argument. It should be a conversation where you show your opinions and the facts that you’ve collected. By showing them the facts, we want to tell other people that we are right. But emotionally, they may not totally agree with what you say. So when you are trying to change someone’s mind, try to keep it as a conversation and not an argument.The second tip is never to say that you are wrong. If someone makes a statement that you think is wrong, it’s better to point it out by saying, “I thought otherw ise but I might be wrong, let’s look at the facts.” The key is to say that you might be wrong, not that you are wrong. This opens up the other person to look at the data again and shows them that you’re not bull headed (顽固的) and that you’re not going to change your opinion. You’re showing them that you are open to new ideas and this is super important in changing someone else’s mind to your way of thinking.Tip number three is to get the other person saying yes as fast as possible. You maybegin your con versation on hobbies that you guys have, something that they’re crazy about, something that gets them saying yes. Because the more that you get them to say yes now, the more likely they are to say yes in the future. A conversation like this will get them to start to like you and maybe even more open up to ideas that you have. It builds up trust between the two of you.Tip number four is to let the other person do a great amount of talking. If you let them talk more, you’re going to show that you actually c are about their opinions and ideas, which will earn their respect in the end. By listening to them, you’re going to create a friendly relationship and build trust. So when you express your opinions, they will also show a willingness to listen. Never interrupt them when they are talking. Just listen patiently with an open mind and encourage them to talk even more and more so that when it’s your tum to talk, they’ll listen and say nothing.The last tip is to let the other person feel like the idea was theirs. It’s wiser to make suggestions and let someone else come to the conclusion, then they have a sense of pride that it’s their idea. Giving someone the data and letting them come to the conclusion let them feel like it is their idea and they are proud of it.How to change someone else’s mindIntroduction ●1.it is not easy to change someone else’s mind, here are tips you can follow.Five ways of changing someone else’s mind ●Keep it as a conversation and not an argument, or they may not totally be in 2. with you.●Say that you might be wrong 3.of saying that you are wrong to show that you are open to new ideas.●Try to get them saying yes as fast as possible, so they are more likely to say yes in the future.●Create a friendly relationship and build trust so that when you are 4. your opinions, they are willing to listen.●Let someone else come to the conclusion and they will be5. of it because they feel like it is their idea.六、(2021·江西改编)词语运用(每小题1分, 共10分)A young woman turns around and around quickly, and jumps high.

2023年高一暑假话题阅读天天练：文娱与体育（含答案）2023年高一暑假话题阅读天天练：文娱与体育（共5题）一、阅读理解题（共5题）Argentina in the late nineteenth century was an exciting place. Around 1870, it was experiencing an economic boom, and the captital, Buenos Aires, attracted many people. Farmers, as well as a flood of foreigners from Spain and Italy, came to Buenos Aires seeking jobs. These jobs didn't pay well, and people felt lonely and disappointed with their new life in the city. As the unhappy newcomers mixed together in the poor parts of the city, the dance known as the tango came into being.At the beginning the tango was a dance of the lower classes. It was danced in the bars and streets. At that time there were much fewer women than men, so if a man didn't want to be left out, his only choice was to dance with another man so that he could attract the attention of the few available women. Gradually, the dance spread into the upper classes of Argentinean society and became more respectable.In Europe at this time, strong interest in dance from around the world was beginning. The interest in international dance was especially evident in Paris. Every kind of dance from ballet to belly dancing could be foundon the stages of the Paris theaters. After tango dancers from Argentina arrived in Europe, they began to draw the interest of the public as they performed their exciting dance in cafes. Though not everyone approved of the new dance, saying it was a little too shocking, the dance did find enough supporters to make it popular.The popularity (流行) of the tango continued to grow in many other parts of the world. Soldiers who returned to the United States from World War I brought the tango to North America. It reached Japan in 1926, and 2023 the Argentinean embassy in Seoul hired a local tango dancer to act as a kind of dance ambassador, and promote tango dancing throughout South Korea.(1) The origin of the tango is associated with _____.A．belly dancers B．American soldiersC．a Spanish city D．the capital of Argentina(2) Which of the following is true about the tangoA．It was created by foreigners from Spain and Italy.B．People of the upper classes loved the tango most.C．It was often danced by two male in the beginning.D．A dancer in Seoul became the Argentinean ambassador.(3) Before World War I, the tango spread to _____.A．America B．Japan C．France D．South Korea(4) What can be the best title for the textA．How to Dance the Tango B．The History of the TangoC．How to Promote the Tango D．The Modern Tango BoomMusic is one of the greatest creations of humans. . Life without music would be totally empty. The images that music is able to create are amazing. Music has the ability to take us back in time. It lets us revisit lost and forgotten moments in life. Music can paint a picture. Music can be described according to one's feelings towards it. . Early in the morning, birds wake people up with their sweet tunes.Music really matters in life. It touches the soul and also helps people express their unspoken desires and beliefs. . We see people walking around with earphones, listening to music as they move.. It is a common characteristic of nearly all living creatures. The moment musical notes softly enter our ears, they touch us.

Think carefully before you leap!Being on a reality TV show is about being exposed. And that exposure is to everyone, including your family, friends, neighbors, and your former school teachers. Is this something you can handle If you're not worried about this, then you're ready! On the other hand, if you value your privacy and reputation intensely, reality TV stardom may not be foryou. Give it up before things get difficult if that's the case!2. Learn all that you can about the show before applying.For a brand new show, read whatever is already available in the media about the show's intended themes, content, time slot and audience. This is probably easier if you've watched it without fail since it began. 3. Be practical.When you assess your suitability to go any further, some of the things that you should keep in mind include being realistic. It makes little sense to apply to be in a weight loss show when you're already at an ideal weight. If you're applying for a show wanting people with a business background or a college education and you don't have one, again, it may not be worth your while.4. Know why you want to do this.The show's producers will want a strong, well-founded response. Telling them "I want to be famous" rarely distinguishes you from every other person wanting the same. Be confident in what you believe you can contribute to the show while focusing on your hoped-for outcome.

Its frozen landscapes make the perfect setting for stories of survival, showcasing how both people and animals adapt to the ice and cold. Here are four of our favorite Arctic shows and movies.Nanook of the North (1922)This silent film from 1922 is a classic story of man versus (与……对抗) nature. It tells the story of an Inuit hunter named Nanook "The Bear" and his family as they struggle to survive in the harsh environment. Nanook of the North is one of the earliest documentaries—although some of the scenes were staged. Viewers are invited to witness how the Inuit people live. Audiences also see how the Inuit construct igloos one block at a time into icy, domed structures.Balto (1995)Based on a true story, this animated (动画的) movie takes place when a deadly disease strikes the small town of Nome, Alaska, in 1925. A half-wolf dog named Balto must lead a sled-dog team across the snowy expanse (宽阔区域) to deliver life-saving medicine to the town's citizens hundreds of kilometers away. Balto is not only an inspiring true story but an important look at the difficulties of Arctic travel and the brave people—and animals—that are relied on to save the day when people need them most.Arctic Tale (2023)Arctic Tale is a US documentary film about the life of a polar bear and her cubs as well as a walrus and her calves. Footage (素材) used for the film was shot over a 15-year period. The documentary gives an inside look at how these two Arctic animals grow from babies into adulthood asthey learn how to hunt and survive in dangerous conditions. Throughout the film, the narrator reminds viewers that climate change is melting the Arctic ice and threatening the animals living there.Ice Road Truckers (2023-2023)This US reality TV series features truck drivers who must cross frozen lakes and rivers in remote Arctic land. They risk their lives to deliver much-needed supplies to small towns, diamond mines and offshore oil rigs (钻塔). The series highlights the dangers of working in the Arctic and subarctic (亚北极的), as well as the bravery it takes to battle the icy storms and freezing temperatures.(1) Why is the Arctic attracted to people to make films and TV shows A．It has wonderful landscapes for animals to survive.B．People and animals find it easy to adapt to the icy cold.C．The Arctic provides ideal background for survival stories. D．Stories about the Arctic are very popular with young people.(2) What do audiences know about the film "Nanook of the North" A．They can catch a glimpse of the Inuit's daily life.B．Little can be known about how the Inuit build igloos.C．They can watch several earliest documentaries in the film. D．Nanook tells their story against nature in tough environment.(3) Which of the following can best describe Balto (1995)A．It is a make-up but inspiring story about a deadly disease.B．It is a story about how the Inuit trained dogs to save people. C．Dogs are the only animals that people can depend on in the Arctic. D．It is an encouraging story about Balto's team overcoming difficulties.(4) Audiences who are environmentalists may be interested in _____. A．Nanook of the North (1922) B．Balto (1995)C．Arctic Tale (2023) D．Ice Road Truckers (2023-2023)(5) Ice Road Truckers mainly tells the audiences that _____. A．people have to cross frozen lakes to work in small towns B．people have to risk their lives to get much-needed supplies C．drivers can earn some money in diamond mines and offshore oil rigs D．drivers need great determination to fight against the tough condition Soccer is played by millions of people all over the world, but there have only been few players who were truly great. How did these players get that way Was it through practice, or are great players "born, not made" First, these players come from places that have had famous stars in the past—players that a young boy can look up to and try to imitate. In the history of soccer, only six countries have ever won the World Cup—three from South America and three from Western Europe. There has never been a great national team, or a really great player—from North America or from Asia. Second, these players have all had years of practice in the game. Alfredo Di Stefano was the son of a soccer player, as was Pele. Most players began playing the game at the age of three or four.Finally, many great players come from the same kind of neighborhood—a poor, crowded area where a boy's dream is not to be a doctor, lawyer, or businessman, but to become a rich, famous athlete or entertainer. For example, Liverpool, which produced the Beetle, has one of the best English soccer teams in recent years. Pele practiced in the street with a "ball" made of rags. And George Best learned the tricks that made him famous by bouncing the ball off a wall in the slums of Belfast. All great players have a lot in common, but that doesn't explain why they are great. Hundreds of boys played in those Brazilian streets, but only one became Pele. The greatest players are born with some unique quality that sets them apart from all the others.(1) What is the main idea of the passage (No more than 12 words)(2) In what way did George Best learn his magic tricks in playing football (No more than 16 words)(3) Please explain the underlined word "unique" in English. (No more than 5 words)(4) To be a great soccer player, he needs some qualities. What quality do you think is the most important (No more than 32 words)(5) After reading this passage, do you think a soccer player who was born with some unique quality will certainly be a great player And please explain why. (No more than 15 words)答案一、阅读理解题（共5题）1. 【答案】(1) D(2) C(3) C(4) B2. 【答案】(1) C(2) G(3) D(4) F(5) E3. 【答案】(1) B(2) F(3) C(4) E4. 【答案】(1) C(2) A(3) D(4) C(5) D5. 【答案】(1) Soccer is popular, but truly great players are rare./ Although soccer is popular, there are few great players.(2) By bouncing the ball off a wall in the slums of Belfast.(3) The only one./ An outstanding one.(4) A great soccer player requires a lot of qualities, of which the most important is constant practice all the time. Without enough practice, you can do nothing at all.(5) No. They must experience a lot of practice.。

2023年高二暑假话题阅读专练（词汇积累）：文娱与体育（含答案）2023年高二暑假话题阅读专练（词汇积累）：文娱与体育（共5题）一、阅读理解题（共5题）According to statistics published by the BPI (Buying Power Index) a couple of months ago, digital streaming (流媒体) now accounts for 80 percent of the music consumption in the UK. Despite the incredible growth of online streaming platforms like iTunes, Apple Music and Tidal over the past 15 years, a more traditional medium has also seen a return of interest and sales in the music industry. In 2023, almost one in five of all albums purchased in the UK is vinyl (黑胶唱片), and it has once again become the most popular physical musical medium.With digital streaming so easy and convenient, why are so many people drawn to traditional records Some experts claim that vinyl is a physical medium for experiencing music, something tangible (有形的) to hold and own. For most people, having something tangible and interacting with it gives depth to the experience of music. Listening to an album and touching it the way the artist intended can make them feel more connected to the music and the artist. Records are physical products that can be not only displayed but also gifted, shared, traded and passeddown through generations.Sound quality is another hot topic. A lot of music lovers feel that the analogue sound (模拟声音) vinyl offers is superior to modern digital audio, particularly with regards to the compressed formats streaming platforms use. There's a common belief that old-school analogue audio has a warmer, fuller sound than digitised music. For vinyl followers, the very defect traditional recorders often have, such as the familiar crackle (劈啪作响) when the record starts, bring the music to life in a different way.There's a ritualistic aspect to vinyl that a lot of people are drawn to, too. The act of putting a record on—carefully removing the record from the sleeve, placing it on the record player and gently dropping the needle on the right groove (凹槽)—is a more assiduous (一丝不苟的), mindful way of engaging with music. When you're listening to vinyl, you can't tap a button and go about your day while the streaming service provides hours of music. You need to stay close to the record player to move the needle and flip the record over.It's clear that the vinyl interest is well underway, and vinyl records are truly making a comeback. In an increasingly digital society, there's something to be said for analogue experiences. Perhaps one of the great things about being alive in the 21st century is our ability to have the best of both worlds—the timeless appeal of physical records alongside theeasy access to vast music libraries that streaming offers.(1) What are the statistics published by the BPI used to showA．An increase in music consumption.B．The recovery of music industry.C．A comeback of a physical medium.D．The acceptance of online streaming.(2) According to some experts, why does vinyl interest many people A．It attracts people by its realistic feel.B．It offers simple access to different music.C．It shares a new way to enjoy music.D．It provides people with perfect sound effect.(3) The underlined word "ritualistic" in Para. 4 means something _____. A．Overlooked by society.B．Updated very frequently.C．Performed as part of a ceremony.D．Kept for a long time without changing.(4) How does the writer feel about the future development of music mediumA．Traditional records will get underway.B．The analogue experiences may matter more.C．Vinyl sales will boom with technological advance.D．There should be a good mix of old and new.Some people say that the best way to reduce the size of your waist is to do stomach exercise．Many people believe that when specific muscles are exercised, the fatty tissues (组织) in the immediate area are burned up. The truth is that exercise burns fat from all over the body and not from one specific area. Of course, if you reduce the fat throughout your body, you will certainly see results around your waist, too.Some people believe that you need to exercise twice a week in order to keep a sufficient level of physical fitness. However, studies directed by American scientists show that unexercised muscles lose their strength very quickly. Within 48 to 72 hours, you must use the muscles again to reestablish (重建) the good physical effects. And what does that mean to you American scientists concluded that while daily exercise is most helpful, exercising every other day or three days a week will keep a sufficient level of physical fitness.Is it true that you burn more calories running one mile than walking the same distance The answer is no. The truth is that you use the same amount of energy whether you walk or run the mile, since in both cases you are moving the same weight the same distance. The speed does not matter．Of course, if you run rather than walk for 30 minutes, you will cover more distance, and therefore, burn more calories.If your breathing doesn't return to normal within 5 minutes after you finish exercising, you have exercised too much. Five minutes or so afterexercising, your breathing should be normal, your heart shouldn't be beating loudly, and you shouldn't be tired.(1) If you want to reduce the fat around your waist, you should _____. A．do stomach exerciseB．exercise the waistC．exercise all the muscles of your bodyD．run fast for 30 minutes(2) From the second paragraph, we learn that _____.A．we only need to exercise twice a weekB．we should exercise three times a weekC．muscles lose their strength after 48 hoursD．we should exercise every other day, or three days a week(3) If you have exercised too much, _____.A．your breathing will take longer than 5 minutes to return to normal after you finish exercisingB．your breathing will return to normal within 5 minutes after finishing exercisingC．your heart will not be beating loudlyD．you will be too tired to move(4) This passage tells us that _____.A．it is better to do more running than walkingB．the more exercise you do, the healthier you will beC．the unexercised muscles must be used again within 48 to 72 hours D．in order to lose weight, you have to run fastFew of us haven't read Cinderella, the story of a young woman living in poverty who meets the prince of her dreams. Some might not want to admit it, but there is a hidden Cinderella in everyone's heart—we all wish we could achieve recognition or success after a period of obscurity (默默无闻) or neglect.Mary Santiago has that secret dream, too. Her story is featured in Another Cinderella Story, a film set in a US high school.Mary is shy but loves to pared with other girls, she is invisible. However, her world changes completely when a famous teenage pop singer, Joey Parker, appears. Joey is everything, the rest of the boys in her class are not—kind; handsome and desirable. Mary and Joey's paths cross at a ball. They meet and fall in love with each other. But when Mary has to rush back home, she leaves behind her MP3 player, which becomes the only clue Joey has to find the girl of his dreams. Of course, there is a wicked (邪恶的) stepmother, who turns out to be Dominique Blatt and she takes in Mary after her dancer mother dies. Dominique treats Mary like a maid and does everything she can to make sure Mary doesn't get into the top dance school. Her two daughters are equally determined to stop Joey falling for Mary, even if that means embarrassing her.The story, though it mostly follows Cinderella, does add a few modernday twists to the classic fairy tale. Refreshingly, the film, unlike many high school films, does not focus on looks, although the actors are all beautiful. There is also a lot less materialism in Another Cinderella Story than in many similar movies."The movie takes the Cinderella fairytale as its jumping off point," writes movie critic Amber Wilkinson."The focus is firmly on following your dream."(1) The first paragraph is mainly to _____.A．build interest and lead us to Mary's secret dreamB．remind us why Cinderella is popular all the yearsC．inform us of the main topic of the whole passageD．tell us how interesting the fairy tale Cinderella is(2) In the movie, Mary Santiago is the main character who _____. A．is brave in expressing her loveB．is attended badly by the stepmotherC．has a dream of meeting a princeD．is embarrassed by the pop singer(3) What can we infer from the passageA．Joey is just like other boys in Mary's class.B．Mary's mother influences her a lot in singing.C．Not many people have a dream to be realized.D．The MP3 player helps Joey in finding Mary.(4) The passage is mainly _____.A．an introduction to a film B．a review about a filmC．an essay about dreams D．an advertisement of Cinderella(5) According to the passage, Another Cinderella Story _____. A．follows Cinderella with nothing newB．pays more attention to the looks of the actorsC．encourages young people to follow their dreamsD．focuses more on materialism than other filmsPoor bear comes to the UK, bringing only a red hat, a suitcase, a sandwich, and jars of marmalade (果酱) with him. Heading straight to a major London train station, he sits on his suitcase and stops passers—by from time to time in the hope of finding a free home.This is how Paddington Bear, the main character of the UK animated movie Paddington, is introduced to audiences. On March 3, during Prince William's visit to China, he attended the Chinese premiere (首演) of the film in Shanghai."Many Britons were raised on tales of Paddington, the second-best-known bear in fiction after Winnie the Pooh," the Economist noted. "While Winnie the Pooh reminds people of the innocence and simplicity of the past, "the well-meaning Paddington always causes chaos when he goes through cultural misunderstandings." The movie, described as "a total delight, as warm and welcome as a hotpair of socks on a winter morning" by the Telegraph, tells the story of the bear, who is sent to London by his family, after an earthquake destroys their home in Peru. At Paddington station, he meets Mr. Brown, Mrs. Brown and their two kids. The Brown family name him Paddington, because they can't say his Peruvian name. After the fuzzy (毛茸茸的) stranger enters the Browns' home, he teaches everyone how to laugh and love. In the end, Mr. Brown says that "even if he's from a different species, he's still family."As Phoenix magazine put it, "The story shows British sympathy and kindness" as the refugee Paddington is given a new home and a loving family in London.Released at a time when immigration is a hot topic in the UK, "Paddington has a very clear message: welcome the other into your home", the Philadelphia Inquirer noted.And Paddington Bear is also a great example of the traditional politeness that British people are well known for. For example, Paddington Bear calls people "Mr.", "Mrs." and "Miss", rarely using their first name. he also loves making small talk with people. For instance, Paddington often has polite conversations about unimportant things with people like his housekeeper.(1) Which of the following statements about Paddington Bear is true A．He is saved by the Brown family from an earthquake in Peru.B．With the help of the Brown family, he learns how to laugh and love. C．He is traditional and prefers to greet strangers using their first name. D．As an immigrant to the UK, he experiences many cultural misunderstandings.(2) Which of the following words best describe the qualities of Paddington BearA．kind and polite. B．innocent and unintelligent.C．humorous and optimistic. D．honest and straightforward.(3) We can infer from the article that _____.A．the tales of Paddington have reminded British people to be kind to those who immigrate to the UKB．at the time when the Paddington stories were released, immigrants were not welcomed in the UKC．the Paddington stories once encouraged a large number of Germans to go to the UKD．Paddington's British habit of making "small talk" helped to enrich the German language(4) According to the last paragraph, "small talk" probably means _____. A．polite greetings to unfamiliar peopleB．conversation about unimportant thingsC．conversations about other people's private livesD．Arguments between close friendsThe year was 1993 and the Detroit Tigers were playing the New York Yankees. When my son began dropping gentle hints that a game would take place at Tiger Stadium on Mother's Day that year, I already knew who they were playing with! "Hey Mom, would you like to go to see the Tigers play the Yankees " My senior high son asked with a playful look. I just smiled.There had been a lot of talk about a new stadium in place of the one that stood proudly on the corner of Michigan and Trumbull in Detroit. As I sat in the seating section, I wondered how the old place could actually become a thing of the past. It was so alive; the stadium was full of watchers and the excitement with two good ball teams, the smell of popcorn.The announcer recognized all mothers and each one received a gift which I still have today.Don Mattingly was a favorite ball player of our sons and he was one of the many players that made up the team that beat the Tiger's that May Day. While we drank our favorite soft drink, we watched the guy with the number 23 shirt hit a home run during the game. The fans went wild. The Yankees won 11 to 2.Part of the excitement comes from a visit to the old ballpark. While the organ music played, everyone stood and sang Take Me Out To the Ballgame.
