21、Five Ways to Build Trust
Trust is a thread that runs through all our connections, from the closest relationships to people we meet only temporarily. In other words, trust is the key to a healthy start with friends. If you want to develop trust in a new friendship, try these five tips.
Listen with care
When someone you’re with is expressing themselves, listen to them properly and attentively. 【1】. As they open up to you, you’ll feel more confident about conveying your inner thoughts in return.
Communicate your worries
【2】 We subconsciously apply these to a new friendship. If you find it hard to trust due to a sorrowful past friendship experience, then don’t be afraid to explain this. Tell your new friends you’re trying to learn to trust again. Honesty breeds (孕育) trust.
Take your time
Don’t rush into anything and stick to the boundaries. Avoid asking confidential questions. You may gradually get familiar with their behaviors and then build a new friendship with mutual (相互的) trust coming along. 【3】. After all, a trustworthy friend doesn’t push others to go all in at the very beginning. Trust wasn’t built in one day.
【4】
Set aside your doubts for a while. It can be easy to fall into a trap thinking that this new friend is going to disappoint you in some way that you’ve experienced before. But you need to give each fresh connection a chance to develop on its own terms.
Take a risk
Put yourself into a situation where you need to put a little faith into the other person. 【5】. Breaking the ice can be challenging, but if you both step outside of your comfort zone a little, trust will be rooted in this new friendship easily.
A.Don’t assume
B.Accept your past
C.Trust is a two-way connection
D.Our ability to trust is influenced by our learning and experiences
E.A milder start with new friends will make them feel more comfortable
F.You can book an activity to spend time together or arrange to go somewhere new
G.Therefore, it seems unkind to let this misunderstanding ruin your new friendship
22、Studying in the library can help many students focus better, especially if their only other option is to study in a noisy home or residence hall. Library study is also handy for groups of students who want to study together.
【1】. Even if you would usually bring your computer or MP3 player to study while by yourself, leave that behind to study with a group. If you do pack these devices in your bag, be aware that you can only use them if your group takes a break or has self-study time during the meeting. 【2】. And you can leave them behind altogether if you think you might be attracted to do so.
Stick to a normal floor. If the library is large enough to have a designated quiet floor, stay off it. Quiet floors are meant for individual study. 【3】. As such, you should stick with a floor that is not designated as a quiet area.
Find a large table. 【4】. If you have a small group of two or three people, a small circular table will still probably work. If you have a group that is larger than that, though, you will likely need a larger rectangular table.
Reserve a larger study room or meeting room. Some libraries will allow you to use any study room as long as it is open when you get there. For exceptionally large groups, consider asking about using a large meeting room at the library. 【5】. Oftentimes, you will need to reserve the room in advance, but this is not always the case.
A.Make sure that everyone can sit comfortably
B.Do not bring them out in the middle of the group work
C.Only bring materials that are relevant to your group work
D.These kinds of rooms tend to have stricter conditions placed on them
E.Find out what your library's policy is concerning the individual rooms
F.Make sure to bring any textbooks or notebooks as with individual study
G.During a group study session, you will need to speak with other group members

26、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一 篇完整的短文。
I was still a thief when I met Anil. And though only 15, I was an experienced and fairly successful hand.
Anil was about 25—a tall, thin fellow—and he looked easy-going, kind and simple enough for my purpose. I might be able to get into his confidence.
I gave him my most appealing smile. “I want to work for you.” I said.
“But I can't pay you.”
Perhaps I had misjudged the man. I asked, “Can you feed me?”
“Can you cook?”
“I can cook.” I lied.
“If you can cook, then I can feed you.”
The meal I cooked that night must have been terrible because Anil gave it to a stray dog and old me to be off. But I just hung around smiling in my most appealing way, and he couldn't help laughing.
Later he patted me on the head and said never mind, he'd teach me to cook. He also taught me to write my name and said he would soon teach me to write whole sentences and to add numbers. I was grateful. I knew that once I could write like an educated man there would be no limit to what I could achieve.
One evening he came home with a small bundle of notes, saying he had just sold a book to a publisher. At night, I saw him put the money under the mattress (床垫).
It's time I did some real work, I told myself. After all, he doesn't even pay me.
Anil was asleep. I crept up to the bed. Anil was sleeping peacefully. My hand slid under the mattress, searching for the notes. When I found them, I drew them out without a sound. Anil sighed in his sleep and turned on his side, towards me. I was frightened and quickly crawled out of the room.
I began to run, holding the notes by the string of my pajamas (睡衣). But I slowed down and sat down in the shelter of the clock tower. I should go back to Anil, I told myself, if only to learn to read and write.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150词左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I hurried back to the room feeling very nervous.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I awoke late next morning to find that Anil had already made the tea.
