26、In the workplace, one of the most important skills to possess is good communication. Employers value employees who can communicate effectively. 【1】 While listening and speaking are important in effective communication, there are other skills that are vital to good communication in the workplace.

Having empathy is very useful in communication. Empathy involves seeing things from the perspective of others. 【2】 While this may be difficult for some, empathizing with others can be very helpful to keep in tune with your own emotions and ideas.

Equally beneficial is being aware of others and their emotions in communication, which means being sympathetic to misfortunes and praising positive milestones. 【3】 Getting to know co-workers on a first-name basis and holding meaningful conversations through the work week create a better and more productive work environment.

【4】 Maintaining an active, friendly attitude lets co-workers consider you are open to hearing their opinions about projects or new designs. Be sure to maintain eye contact the majority of the time you are speaking with someone, and use hand gestures to help you leave a good impression on others. Smiling is incredibly dynamic and creates a noticeable difference. Smile and you are more regarded as more approachable and trustworthy.

While many of these good communication skills occur naturally in individuals, some may need to be learned and practiced in order to become second nature. Many people earn a Master of Arts in Dispute Resolution, an M.A. degree in Marriage and Family Therapy or a Bachelor’s Degree in Social Work. 【5】

A．Body language can create harmonious atmosphere in communication.

B．Being sympathetic and inspirational is essential in communicating with others.

C．Body language can have a huge influence on how other people perceive you.

D．It means their being able to listen to others and successfully voicing their own ideas.

E．To achieve this successfully, you need to know what is going on in other people’s lives.

F．Put yourself in the other person’s position instead of being judgmental or biased by your own beliefs.

G．They can directly apply these good communication skills into the workplace and become highly desired by their employers.

27、   Are you having difficulty falling asleep? Try drinking a glass of warm milk. If that doesn't work, listen to beautiful soft music. Still no luck? Try thinking about sheep jumping over a fence. If you are still awake, take a sleeping pill. But people who take pills often become dependent on the drugs. So you lie awake knowing that the new workday will soon arrive. If you have been in such condition for at least one month, you may have primary insomnia（失眠症）.

A new study has found that you might fall asleep more quickly and stay asleep longer if you try "cerebral hypothermia". It is not a complex medical process. It just means cooling down your brain. Eric Nofzinger and Daniel Buysse from the University of Pittsburgh Medical School led the study. They examined twelve people who had sleeping problems. Twelve others had no sleeping problems. Each of them wore a soft plastic cap on their head at bedtime.

The caps had tubes inside filled with water. The researchers moved the water through the tubes and then changed the temperature of the water. Other studies showed that people who had sleeping problems often had more chemical reactions in the front of their brains. The researchers thought cooling down the brain might help.

On the first two nights of testing, the patients wore caps with no water. On the next two nights, the caps were worn, but the water was not cooled. Then the researchers cooled the water a little for another two nights. On the final two nights of the study, the temperature of the water was made much cooler.

The researchers found that the water caps didn't help the patients until the temperature was about 14℃. Most of the patients fell asleep faster and slept better when the coolest water was moving around their heads.

Dr. Nofzinger and Dr. Buysse noted that this was only the beginning of the brain temperature study. But they believed they had discovered something important that needed more research.

【1】What is the purpose of Paragraph 1?

A．To ask readers a question.

B．To tell sleeping problems.

C．To put forward the topic of the passage.

D．To offer ways to insomnia.

【2】What can we know about the participants in the study?

A．They showed more chemical reactions.

B．They were required to wear plastic caps.

C．They all suffered from sleeping problems.

D．They cooled themselves by drinking water.

【3】What do Dr. Nofzinger and Dr. Buysse think of their study?

A．It turns out disappointing.

B．It proves widely practical.

C．It stands out among studies

D．It still has a long way to go.

【4】What's the main idea of the text?

A．It's time to cool yourself down.

B．A medical process benefits sleep

C．A new way might help with sleep.

D．Cooling down your brain matters.

28、   When I was nine years old, I loved to go fishing with my dad. But the only thing that wasn’t very fun about it was that he could catch many fish while I couldn’t catch anything. I usually got pretty upset and kept asking him why. He always answered, “Son, if you want to catch a fish, you have to think like a fish”, I remember being even more upset then because, “I’m not a fish!” I didn’t know how to think like a fish. Besides, I reasoned, how could what I think influence what a fish does?

As I got a little older I began to understand what my dad really meant. So, I read some books on fish. And I even joined the local fishing club and started attending the monthly meetings. I learned that a fish is a cold-blooded animal and therefore is very sensitive to water temperature. That is why fish prefer shallow water to deep water because the former is warmer.

Besides, water is usually warmer in direct sunlight than in the shade. Yet, fish don’t have any eyelids and the sun huts their eyes… The more I understood fish, the more I became effective at finding and catching them.

When I grew up and entered the business world, I remember hearing my first boss say, “We all need to think like sales people.” But it didn’t completely make sense. My dad never once said, “If you want to catch a fish you need to think like a fisherman.” What he said was, “You need to think like a fish.” Years later, with great efforts to promote long-term services to people much older and richer than me, I gradually learned what we all need is to think more like customers. It is not an easy job. I will show you how in the following chapters.

【1】What did the author’s father really mean?

A．To read about fish.

B．To learn fishing by oneself.

C．To understand what fish think.

D．To study fishing in many ways.

【2】After entering the business world, the author found ________.

A．it easy to think like a customer

B．his father’s fishing advice inspiring

C．his first boss’s sales ideas reasonable

D．it difficult to sell services to poor people

【3】This passage most likely comes from ________.

A．a fishing guide

B．a popular sales book

C．a novel on childhood

D．a millionaire’s biography

29、When someone says, "Well, I guess I'll have to face the music," it doesn't mean he is planning to go to a concert. It is something far less pleasant, like being called in by your boss to explain why you did this and did that, and why you did not do this or that. Terrible music indeed, but it has to be faced. At sometime or another, every one of us has had to "face the music", especially as children. We can remember father's angry voice, "I want to talk to you!” And only because we did not obey him. What an unpleasant business it was!

The phrase "face the music" is known to every American, old and young. It is at least one hundred years old. Where did the expression come from?

The first explanation came from the American novelist, James Fenimore Cooper. He said, in 1851, that expression was first used by actors while waiting in the wings to go on the stage. After they got their clue to go on, they often said.  "It's time to face the music." And that was exactly what they did - facing the orchestra(乐队) which was just below the stage.

An actor might be frightened or nervous as he moved on to the stage in front of the audience that might be friendly, or perhaps unfriendly, especially if he forgot his lines. But he had to go out. If he did not, there would be no play. So the expression "face the music" came to mean "having to go through something, no matter how unpleasant the experience might be, because you knew you had no choice."

【1】Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?

A. If you'd like to enjoy songs, you'll face the music.

B. When actors have to face the music, it means they have to go on stage to perform, however changeable the situation is.

C. When you have to face the music, it is probable that you have met something unpleasant.

D. If a child does something against his parent's will, maybe he'll face the music.

【2】Why might an actor be frightened or nervous as he moved on to the stage in front of the audience?

A. Because the audience might be unfriendly.

B. Because he thought he might forget his lines.

C. Because he was afraid that his performance might not be perfect.

D. All the above.

【3】From the passage we know that the expression "face the music" was first used by ________.

A. children B. a novelist

C. actors   D. audience

【4】What's the main idea of this passage?

A. Actors' behavior as they moved on to the stage.

B. The meaning and the origin of the phrase “face the music”.

C. A personal idea expressed by an American novelist, James Fenimore Cooper.

D. The feelings when we have to face the music.

30、About 20 minutes away from River Campus, one might hear sounds of magical flights at the mysterious Mushroom House of Powder Mills Park.

“Test tourism” for grammar schools will be stopped and replaced by a new national selection exam, according to plans being considered by ministers.

A new “selective education team” has been set up, 【1】 up by Nick Timothy, who is joint chief of staff to Prime Minister Theresa May.

Currently, there is a wide 【2】 in the type of Eleven plus exams that children sit, depending on which school or area of the country the student is in. Ministers are hoping to impose severe 【3】 on” test tourism”, where parents travel huge distances and even relocate their family to secure a place for their child at a grammar school.

A summary document of a series of meetings between senior Department for Education ministers and the Grammar School Heads Association (GSHA) also reveals that the Government is developing “coaching 【4】 tests” to prevent heavily tutored children from wealthy families or expensive preparatory schools gaining unfair advantage.

Details of ministers’ plans 【5】 after the GSHA released a list of key points following their discussions with Government officials. Education Secretary Justine Greening reportedly told the grammar school headteachers that ministers “are philosophically opposed to selection but present little 【6】 to support this claim”.

According to the GSHA, ministers still want to see the top 25 percent of pupils attend 【7】 schools, and for grammar schools to cater .for a “narrower ability range” - closer to 10 percent. The notes add that there is a “move away from focusing on social 【8】 to social reform”.

Shadow Education Secretary Angela Rayner said it was “unbelievable” that grammar school headteachers “have been given the inside 【9】 on the government’s plans, while our state schools and academies are left out in the cold”.

A Department for Education spokesperson said, “Thanks to the government’s reforms, there are now almost 1.8 million more pupils being taught in good schools than in 2010. But we know there is more to do, and that’s precisely why we have set out plans to make more good school places 【10】 to more parents and in more parts of the country.”
