21、When employing role-plays, debates, topic discussions, etc., I have noticed that some students are often timid in expressing their viewpoints. This seems due to a number of reasons:

·Students don't have an opinion on the subject.

·Students have an opinion, but are worried about what the other students might say or think.

·Students have an opinion, but don't feel they can say exactly what they mean.

·Students begin giving their opinion, but want to state it in the same eloquent manner that they are capable of in their native language.

·Othermore actively participating students, feel confident in their opinions and express them eloquently making the less confident students more timid.

In fact, conversation lessons and exercises are intended to improve conversational skills. For this reason, I find it helpful to first focus on building skills by eliminating some of the barriers that might be in the way of production.Having been assigned roles, opinions and points of view that they do not necessarily share, students are freed from having to express their own opinions. Therefore, they can focus on expressing themselves well in English. In this way, students tend to concentrate more on production skills, and less on factual content. They also are less likely to insist on literal translations from their mother tongue.

Applying this approach can begin slowly by providing students with short role plays using cue cards. Once students become comfortable with target structures and representing differing points of view, classes can move onto more elaborated exercises such as debates and group decision making activities. This approach bears fruit especially when debating opposing points of view. By representing opposing points of view, students' imagination are activated by trying to focus on all the various points that an opposing stand on any given issue may take. As students inherently do not agree with the view they represent, they are freed from having to invest emotionally in the statements they make. More importantly, to some extent, students tend to focus more on correct function and structure when they do not become too emotionally involved in what they are saying.

Of course, this is not to say that students should not express their own opinions. After all, when students go out into the "real" world they will want to say what they mean. However, taking out the personal investment factor can help students first become more confident in using English. Once this confidence is gained, students - especially timid students - will be more self-assured when expressing their own points of view.

A. teach students to do role-plays

A. setting up   B. making room for

C. struggling for D. getting rid of

22、①When we think of humor, we generally think about entertainment - enjoying a stand-up comedy or watching a funny film. But psychologists believe humor can also help improve our mental health and promote social bonding.

②Rod Martin at the University of Western Ontario examined the relation-ship between a sense of humor and psychological wellbeing. He found individuals with a good sense of humor had higher levels of self-esteem (自尊), were more positive in the face of challenging life events, and had more self-protective ways of coping with stress

③However, this finding is only corelational. It could be that a good sense of humor fosters the positive qualities, and that high levels of self-esteem and a positive mindset may be what allows an individual to develop a good sense of humor. To prove it, researchers randomly appointed 55 adults to three courses: a humor group, a social group, and a control group. At the end of the courses, those in the humor group scored significantly higher on levels of emotional wellbeing and showed decreased levels of stress and anxiety. The researchers also tested the effects of attending parties as well as watching comedies and funny films. They found that these positive social activities also made these adults more humorous and welcome.

④Wellbeing in the workplace can also be increased by humor. Both Eric Romero and Kevin Cruthirds at the University of Texas found encouraging moments of jokes among colleagues were generally associated with increased work performance and decreased reports of stress. However, they also raise a caution: any positive result depends on the jokes in question. That the type of humor is key to its benefits clarifies why positive findings in this area are often weak or unclear. As some researchers wisely point out, the problem is that too few of them begin by defining clearly what humor is. He believes there are two types: adaptive and maladaptive (适应不良的).

⑤Adaptive humor encourages us to feel closer to others and better about ourselves, whereas maladaptive humor is self-defeating, rude and aggressive. Maladaptive humor leads only to lower self-esteem and a distance between you and your colleagues.

⑥The conclusion? Humor can definitely help you, not only with your mental wellbeing, but also with your colleague relationships - only if it's adaptive, self-enhancing and acceptable. All in all, kindness is the key.

【1】What did Rod Martin find about humorous people?

A. They liked seeing funny performances.

B. They used humor to increase self-esteem.

C. They tended to enjoy better mental health.

D. They attached more importance to self-protection.

【2】By saying the underlined part in Paragraph 3, the author wants to show   .

A. humor and positive qualities affect each other

B. humor plays a role only in certain cases

C. the finding needs to be further improved

D. there's still strong argument on the finding

【3】According to Paragraph 4 , why are positive findings about office humor often weak?

A. Workplace is a special place for people to tell jokes.

B. There are too many factors affecting the results.

C. There's not enough evidence to show its effects.

D. Different types of humor may have different effects.

【4】What is suggested by the author about humor?

A. Put yourself in others' shoes when telling jokes.

B. Avoid hurting others when telling jokes.

C. Pay attention to the occasion of your jokes.

23、When people in your organization come to you to discuss a problem, you give them your best answer and probably assume you’ve helped them.

【1】. You’re not being much help if you’re not really listening to them. We’re not talking about the mere act of listening, but the art of listening, known as active listening. How can you become a more effective listener? Here are some tips:

Be present. 【2】. There’re so many things that make you lose focus in the office many of them tech-related, like instant messaging and email—that you almost can’t help but half listen to anyone who speaks to you, whether it’s in person or by phone. What you need to do is purposefully practice active listening by bringing yourself fully into the conversation. 【3】.

Give the other person your undivided attention. It shows respect and can have a positive impact on your entire exchange. It also means you’re less likely to misunderstand, or simply miss, what the person is saying to you. 【4】 when a customer or coworker is telling you about a problem you already know how to solve before they’ve finished speaking. But part of active listening means you need to let them complete their full “download” to you before you respond.

Understand nonverbal（非语言） changes. 【5】, but good listeners will also sense what is not being said, as well as what is verbalized. Learning how to read physical cues, such as facial expressions, takes practice. Improving these active listening skills will help you get the message and resolve problems faster.

A．Well, it may not be that simple

B．Listening naturally means hearing

C．Of course, it’s easy to become impatient

D．Wait for an appropriate moment to politely ask a question

E．Be mindful and concentrate on the message, word for word

F．Truly hearing what the speaker has to say requires your full attention

G．Good active listening skills apply when you’re communicating with others
