21、 Some effective ways to Meet New People
It is universally acknowledged that first impressions matter a lot. If you want to know how to meet people, just follow these steps.
◆Live in the moment.
To meet new people, the first thing you have to do is enjoy the present moment of the new conversation. Let go of your expectations and fears. 【1】
When you approach a new person, don’t ask yourself, “How do I look?” or “How do I sound?” Instead, ask, “What would this person like to talk about?” or “What matters to this person?”
◆ 【2】
If you keep up your confidence, people feel that you’re a person who is worth talking to. You should be confident before you walk into a room with new people in it and build your confidence as the conversation goes along. Just smile, talk about the things that you love, and show everyone that you love who you are, where you are, and what you do.
【3】 Stand tall, maintain eye contact, and don’t fidget (烦躁) with your hands or look at the floor. When you introduce yourself, speak clearly and loudly enough that you’ll be heard.
◆Be positive.
【4】 You should smile from time to time. Talk about the things you love, the things that make you happy, and your interests to keep people engaged.
Don’t talk about your longstanding hatred for a certain teacher, or classmate. 【5】 The occasional “That’s so true!” or “I know exactly what you mean!” will be far more positive.
A.Stay confident.
B.Communicate in a fun and casual way.
C.Body language can help you stay confident.
D.They can prevent a conversation from unfolding smoothly.
E.Don't ask for the person's number in the middle of the conversation.
F.Maintaining a positive attitude will make people want to talk to you.
G.Don't nod and agree with what the person is saying every five seconds.
22、More than 100 scientists traveled to faraway places to collect wild crop seeds in an effort to help battle climate change. The scientists have been likened to the hero of the Indiana Jones movies. Like him, they had to face blood-sucking creatures and fierce tigers. Sometimes, they had to use elephants for transportation because they couldn't find any other means of transportation.
A report on the project was published last week. It described the results of a six-year search to collect thousands of wild seeds. The seeds could be important in feeding a growing human population at a time when rising temperatures are affecting crop production in some areas.
The scientists traveled on foot, by four-wheeled vehicles, boat and riding horses and they even rode elephants to reach faraway areas. They collected 4,644 seed samples of 371 wild relatives of 28 crops. Many of those wild relatives are said to be endangered.
The Crop Trust, a nonprofit organization that works to save different kinds of crops, was directing the project. The group was working in partnership with Britain's Royal Botanic Gardens and Millennium Seed Bank. Additional financial support came from Norway. The project is believed to be the largest organized international effort yet to collect and protect crops' wild relatives.
Some relatives of widely grown crops have developed so they can survive usual and severe conditions such as low rainfall, flooding, extreme temperatures and poor soils. Scientists say the wild crops offer a largely unused source of diversity for protecting crops against climate change.
Some crops are threatened because of destruction of forests, conflict and expanded cities. Experts say losing this diversity could endanger food security around the world. A United Nations report says that food supplies are under severe threat. The report notes that the number of animal and plant species are quickly disappearing as the world deals with how to feed a rising population.
【1】What happened to the scientists during the journey to collect the seeds?
A．They sowed many wild crop seeds.
B．They met with some dangers and difficulties.
C．They discovered many unknown plant species.
D．They solved many issues caused by global warming.
【2】What do we know about the wild crops?
A．They grow widely all over the world.
B．Some of them have adapted to extreme climates.
C．They can take the place of the present non-wild crops.
D．Some of them are endangered due to developed tourism.
【3】What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A．Natural disasters endanger food security.
B．Animal and plant species are becoming diverse.
C．The lack of food supplies causes a population decline,
D．Human activity has a negative effect on some crops.
【4】What can be the best title for the text?
A．New Varieties of Crops Will Be Developed
B．Animal and Plant Species Are Rapidly Disappearing
C．The Crop Trust Is Working on Studying Wild Plants
D．Scientists Collect Wild Seeds for Climate Change Fight
23、The Land Under the Sea
Ten thousand years ago, as the last ice age ended, sea levels around the world were far lower than they are today. Much of the land under both the North Sea to the east of Britain and the English Channel which now separates France and Britain was part of a huge region of forests and grassy plains. Then the climate gradually became warmer and the water trapped in large masses of ice was released.
Now the development of advanced sonar (声纳) technology, known as bathymetry, is making it possible to study this flooded landscape in extraordinary detail. A special echo (回声) sounder is fixed to the bottom of a survey ship and it makes wide sweeps across the seabed. While previous technology has only been able to produce two-dimensional images, bathymetry can now use computers, satellite-positioning equipment and special software to create accurate and remarkably detailed maps. For the first time, an ancient riverbed jumps out of the three-dimensional image. The site of pre-historic settlements can now be pinpointed.
According to expert Linda Andrews, this technological development is of huge significance. “We now have the ability to map the seabed as accurately as we can map dry land,” she says.
Once bathymetric techniques have identified sites where people might have built their homes and villages, divers can be sent down to investigate further. Robot submarines (潜艇) can also be used, and researchers hope they will find stone tools and wood from houses as proof of human activity. The idea shared by many people in Britain of their country as a natural island kingdom will be challenged by the findings: Britain has been inhabited for about 500,000 years and much of this time it has been linked on and off to continental Europe. It remains to be seen how far this new awareness is taken on board, however.
In fact, the use of bathymetry will not be limited to the study of lost landscapes and ancient settlements. It will also be vital in finding ships that have been destroyed in accidents. In addition, commercial applications are a real possibility. Aggregates (骨材) for the construction industry are becoming increasingly expensive, and bathymetry can be used to identify suitable sites for digging for this material. Mapping the seabed will also identify places where rare plants and shellfish are living. Digging at such sites should be prevented, either to work for a profit or to make deeper waterways for massive container ships.
【1】How does bathymetry work?
A．It has an echo sounder placed on the seabed.
B．It makes use of a number of different devices.
C．It produces two-dimensional images of the sea floor.
D．It bases its calculations on the location of construction sites.
【2】What does the underlined word “pinpointed” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A．Occupied.
B．Adjusted.
C．Rebuilt.
D．Discovered.
【3】The author believes a better understanding of the settlements on the seabed may ________.
A．attract investment in the research under the sea
B．inspire people to take an interest in modern technology
C．adapt the attitudes of the British to their country’s history
D．receive confirmation of rebuilding ancient man-made objects
【4】We can learn that the use of bathymetry will help to ________.
A．identify new species of plants and animals
B．provide the precise location of sunken ships
C．evaluate the cost of seeking certain resources
D．promote the development of deeper waterways
24、 Many years ago, when I was fresh out of school and working in Denver, I was driving to my parents’ home in Missouri for Christmas. I stopped at a gas station about 50 miles from Oklahoma City, where I was planning to stop and visit a friend. While I was standing in line at the checkout, I said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas.
I took off, but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car. I stopped and wondered what I should do. A car pulled up behind me. It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station. They said they would take me to my friend’s. We chatted on the way into the city, and when I got out of the car, the husband gave me his business card.
I wrote him and his wife a thank-you note for helping me. Soon afterward, I received a Christmas present from them. Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful.
Years later, I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning. In late afternoon I returned to my car and found that I’d left the lights on all day, and the battery was dead. Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership - a shop selling cars - was right next door. I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom.
“Just how friendly is Friendly Ford?” I asked and explained my trouble. They quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it. They would accept no payment, so when I got home, I wrote them a note to say thanks. I received a letter back from one of the salesmen. No one had ever taken the time to write him and say thank you, and it meant a lot, he said.
“Thank you” - two powerful words. They’re easy to say and mean so much.
