Ways to make a great first impression

You’ve heard it a million times already, but it really does take a few seconds to make that all-important first impression. Here are some easy ways for you to impress your classmates or teachers.

● 【小题1】

Before you shake hands with somebody, make sure that your hands are clean. The handshake should not be too strong or weak. Most people use their right hands, unless they have a reason to use the left. 【小题2】.

● Be on time

When meeting someone for the first time, arriving on time is as important as breathing. You may have an excuse, but that will leave the person who hardly knows you with a bad impression. 【小题3】 It’s better to be hanging around the place than be stuck in traffic.

● Introduce yourself and ask for names

Make sure you properly introduce yourself. Ask for their names in a polite way. 【小题4】 This will increase the chances of their remembering your name in the future. Always remember to stand up when greeting someone and be sure to introduce them to anyone you’re with.

● Make good conversations

To get the most out of your discussion, try to find something common between the two of you. 【小题5】 A person will feel more comfortable with someone they can relate to.

A.Use body language
B.Have a proper handshake
C.Repeat the names and use them later in conversation.

   You can choose to think positively and see the good things around you,or you can choose to think negatively and only see the negative things around you. It's all up to you. 【小题1】 Look at what optimists do.

Believe in themselves.

While others doubt their own abilities,optimists believe they are good enough just the way they are and constantly try to get better. They trust their own intuition(直觉)and abilities when carrying out their day-to-day activities. 【小题2】 They don't need everyone's approval.

Believe in others.

Optimists not only believe in themselves,but also in other people in their lives. 【小题3】 They know that when you treat a person as he or she is,that person will remain so. But if you treat a person as he or she ought to be,that person will become what he or she ought to be. Optimists simply see sparks of good in others and work to turn the sparks into a roaring flame.

【小题4】

Optimists believe in seizing what life throws at them. They are not blind to the risks and dangers involved in taking chances,but rather look at the bigger picture,the resources available and then make every opportunity count for a much brighter future full of possibilities.

Forgive.

Optimists know better than to underestimate(低估)the power of forgiveness. Martin Luther King Jr. recognized the past was the past and forgiveness was the path to a better future for everyone. 【小题5】 Optimists know tomorrow is another day and another opportunity to correct what needs correcting and create a brighter reality.

A.So he fought hate with love.
B.Take full advantage of all opportunities.
C.They do what they feel right in their hearts.
D.Be cautious about risks and dangers in life.
E.They inspire others to be the best they can be.
F.Thus he devoted his life to the struggle for racial equality.

   When the weather turns warm,everyone wants to be in or around the water. 【小题1】 Learning how to swim is important if you plan to be near water. Many organizations provide swimming instruction for people of all ages. Check to see what classes are available(可得到的)in your area.

【小题2】 Always swim with a partner,every time—whether you're swimming in a backyard pool or in a lake. Even experienced swimmers can become tired or get muscle cramps,which might make it difficult to get out of the water. When people swim together,they can help each other or go for help in case of an emergency.

Get skilled. Speaking of emergencies,it's good to be prepared. Learning some life-saving skills,such as CPR and rescue techniques,can help you save a life. 【小题3】 Check with your YMCA or YWCA,the local hospital,or the chapter of the Red Cross.

Know your limits. Swimming can be a lot of fun—and you might want to stay in the water as long as possible. If you're not a good swimmer or you're just learning to swim,don't go in water that's so deep that you can't touch the bottom and don't try to keep up with skilled swimmers. 【小题4】 But it's a pretty sure bet they'd rather have you safe and alive.

Swim in safe areas only. 【小题5】 No one can predict changing ocean currents(流),rip currents,sudden storms,or other hidden dangers. In the event that something does go wrong,lifeguards are trained in rescue techniques.

A.Don't swim alone.
B.Don't swim in a lake.
C.A number of organizations offer free classes for swimmers.

G.It's a good idea to swim only in places that are supervised by a lifeguard.

When something goes wrong, it can be very satisfying to say, “Well, it’s so-and-so’s fault.” or “I know I’m late,but it’s not my fault; the car broke down.” It is probably not your fault, but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation, you are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation. This is the winner’s key to success.
Winners are great at overcoming problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly. Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need. For another example, if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or don’t rely on this person. You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well.
This is what being a winner is all about—creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners don’t have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on “whose fault it is.” Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stones for success.
【小题1】According to the passage, winners .
A.blame themselves rather than others
B.meet with fewer difficulties in their lives
C.have responsible and able colleagues
D.deal with problems rather than blame others
【小题2】The underlined word remedyin Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ______.
A.improveB.acceptC.avoidD.consider
【小题3】When problems occur, winners take them as ______.
A.excuses for their failuresB.chances for self-development
C.challenges to their colleaguesD.barriers to greater power
【小题4】Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A.A Winner’s Opportunity.B.A Winner’s Problem.
C.A Winner’s Secret.D.A Winner’s Achievement.

   Getting your children to stop lying is challenging. There are many influences(TV programmes, movies, video games and some books) in which lies are common. Children see parents lie to others, if only to be polite. Most parents add to that with tales about the lives and activities of Santa Claus.
Parents do this out of love, but for some children,lying can become a problem. The most common reactions to children who lie are explaining why it is wrong and giving them punishment. But as ways of changing behavior, these are ineffective.
However, what counts is to praise. You could ask your child to say something that happened at school and that is true. It is not important what that is. This is about practice. When your child obeys, praise him enthusiastically. Be specific like"That was great! You told me what happened just like I asked. Wow!"and give your child a hug or a high five. If your child says something true in the course of his or her day, praise that behavior too. Aim for one or two interactions like this a day. If you happen to "catch"your child in a lie, say something like "That is not true and could get you in trouble; it is better to say the truth."
Besides, you should set a good example for your kids and tell the truth directly. This could be about something that happened when you were a child or something that happened during the day. It need not be dramatic. Another option is to play a game at dinner. Each person tells one thing that was true that day. Again, give a little praise to the child who normally lies if he plays along.
In most cases, children are unlikely to change behavior or develop the conduct you want. That does not mean ignoring, lying or letting it go. Rather, use very mild punishments(light scolding, short loss of privilege(特权) or brief time out). More severe or long-lasting punishments(shouting, taking away something for a week, hitting) are not more effective in actually changing the frequency of lying.
Try these procedures for two to three weeks and see where you are. Usually the frequency of lying can be dropped by then. It is unlikely that lying will be completely removed, but with the right encouragement, it can be dramatically lessened.
【小题1】Which punishment is quite ineffective?
A.Brief time out.
B.Light scolding.
C.Short loss of privilege.
D.Taking away something for a week.
【小题2】What can we conclude from the passage?
A.Parents can tell lies sometimes.
B.Lying will disappear thoroughly.
C.Punishments cannot change behavior.
D.Praising parents a lot is beneficial.
【小题3】Which of the following could serve as the best title?
A.Is Lying a Problem?
B.Can Kids Stop Lying?
C.What Can You Do When Kids Tell Lies?
D.How Can You Punish Your Kids for Lying?
