第二节:下面文章中有5处(第58~62题)需要添加小标题。请从以下选项(A、B、C、D、E和F)中选出符合各段意思的小标题。选项中有一项是多余选项。
A. Live in denial
B. Sell your iPhone
C. Stop making phone calls
D. Purchase a car rather than an iPhone
E. Move to a location with strong carrier signal
F. Return the phone and get one from a different manufacturer(制造商)
Apple’s so-called iPhone 4 “Death Grip” - where holding the phone in the left hand weakens the signal - may rank among the top marketing failures of the 2010s.
Frustrated iPhone 4 owners don’t need to wait around for Apple to handle the problem. They can solve the calling problems on their own. I’ve got five guaranteed solutions, but you probably won’t like them.
________________. In most US states, purchasers can return phones within 14 days - 30 days in states like California. It’s the “buyer’s regret” period, and for some people who can’t make clear calls there surely is some kind of regret. Apple’s newest handset may be the most fashionable phone on the planet, but it is by no means the only choice. Yes, you can use another smart phone and find happiness.
_______________. OK, so this might seem like an extreme choice, but, hey, aren’t all those phone calls annoying? I’ve dramatically reduced the number of phone calls and must say it feels good to be free of them. You text, tweet(推特) and Facebook anyway. The iPhone has a touchscreen for a reason. Use it.
But, please, don’t text and drive.
_______________. If you must make phone calls, change your location. Repeatedly test for the Death Grip, but don’t let the sellers know the real reason for moving. Surely they’ll think that anyone willing to wait all night in a line to buy a cell phone is some one who is easily tricked or taken in. Don’t let your iPhone 4 enthusiasm drive up the seller’s counter offer.
________________. Hey, why should Apple be the only one who makes money? The iPhone 4 eBay auctions(拍卖)are crazy. There are “buy it now” prices of $1,000 and auctions with bids(出价)starting above $800. While writing this post, I watched one auction count down 7 minutes to zero, where in the final seconds the winning bid was $1,300 for the 32GB black model, unopened.
_______________. It’s surprising how effectively some people can just ignore problems like they don’t exist. No matter what the situation, they ignore it. “Hey, Johnny, don’t you know Toyota recalled(召回) a bazillion cars for accelerator pedal defects?” You know his answer: “Toyota is the best company on the planet. There is no problem with my car.” I’ve seen this kind of denial behavior among some Mac enthusiasts, too. About Death Grip, Apple CEO Steve Jobs is on record firmly stating: “Just avoid holding it in that way.” Apple claims the problem really isn’t iPhone 4 but you. Hey, you can choose to believe that. Denial will fix your problem, because you’ll never admit to having one.

需要添加小标题。请从以下选项(A、B、C、D、E、F)中选出符合各段意思的小标题,并在答题纸上将相应选项的标号涂黑。选项中有多余选项。
A.How to deal with listening practice
B.Class atmosphere matters a lot in learning
C.Monitoring activities is one of the main tasks of teachers
D.How to evaluate student performance
E.Group work needs organizing properly
F.Communication skills play a big role in language learning
Both instructors and learners can get benefits from the following learning strategies as long as they are properly made use of in language learning.
       .
The information presented in this section focuses on specific conversation, discussion, or presentation skills.The activities arc generally self-explanatory, with students expressing opinions, making decisions, solving problems, planning presentations, and so on.Engaged in these activities, students have the possibility of communicating with each other in class.This section also includes lists of expressions used to illustrate different language functions, such as agreeing, disagreeing, and asking for clarity in order to help students expand their knowledge of English.
       .
in a speaking or listening course, students' anxieties can affect their learning.For this reason, it is important to establish a friendly, relaxed classroom environment.It may help students 10 think of the classroom as a laboratory where they can experiment and take risks with the language.In such circumstances, students should realize that errors are a natural and expected part of learning a language.In addition, one of the goals of this pan is to encourage students to examine their awn opinions and values while at the same time showing respect for the opinions and values of others.
________.
Many of the activities in this section involve the students' cooperating work in class. Generally, such an activity taken up by four members seem to work the best. Groups of three or five members may also be effective, depending on the activity. The first unit includes guidelines for organizing group work, with students taking on the following roles: leader, reader, summarizer, reporter, and observer(if necessary). Organizing all activities in this way makes the course truly learner-centered since students must take fall responsibility for carrying out each activity. As for seating, group members should arrange their seats or chairs in a small circle to encourage interaction.
________.
Being a teacher, in the course of group activities, you should circulate from group to group, which helps ensure that students are on task and are using English. While you should not participate in pair or group activities, you need to stay involved in what the students are doing. One important reason to circulate during activities is to keep track of the kinds of problems students have, such as grammatical accuracy, fluency, word choice, pronunciation and intonation discussion strategies, etc. However, it is generally not effective to correct students' errors when they arc involved in an activity The most practical way to deal with communication problems is to make notes of what you observe as you arc circulating. You can then use this information to provide feedback after the activity or to develop future lessons.
________.
At the beginning of the course, when they need to build up their confidence, students benefit most from encouragement and positive comment. If possible, you'd rather not grade the students fust few efforts at speaking in a group or to the class. Many students suffer such anxiety in speaking situations that any criticism at this stage can have the opposite effects. Commenting on students' work does not necessarily mean grading them on the scene Even if the programs requires formal grades, you should try to put off assigning grades until later in the term.

根据短文内容,从下框的A~F选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。选项中有一项为多余项。

A. Find inspiration around you
B. Spare no efforts to achieve your goal
C. Hold a positive attitude
D. Break the routine
E. Find a reason in everything you do
F. Take care of your health   

You may have goals of losing weight, dreaming of pursuing a passion or interest, plans of achieving success in your career and relationships, but without positive motivation, all these remain goals, plans and dreams if you are not motivated to achieve them and make them into reality. Positive thoughts play a major role in your outlook in life and in giving you the motivation to reach for you dreams. If you are optimistic that you can do the task at hand, or you can reach your goals, you will be motivated to take those steps towards achieving it.
Whether it is nature’s beauty, or great relationships from friends and family, being able to find inspiration has a positive impact in getting yourself motivated to do what you want to achieve and live a better life, so strive to make friends and keep a happy relationship with your family.
One of the things that can contribute to lack of motivation is doing the same things every day and getting stuck into it without knowing where you are heading. Sometimes you have to explore other opportunities, learn new skills and explore other interests. Do not be afraid to take risks, explore new ways of achieving your goals and get out of your comfort zone at times to discover new things around you and take advantage of new opportunities in life.
A tired and stressed body most often leads to lack of motivation to do what you want to do. Have a regular exercise. This will not only make you become stronger physically but will also lift up your mood to tackle (处理)life’s challenges each day.
Most often, we feel mostly motivated if there is a need to do it. Finding the reason why you live your life each day will truly make everything easy and help you get motivated. Dedicating(致力于) your efforts to someone you love and treasure is also a good motivation that you can give yourself. No matter what challenges you have to face, for as long as you know that you are doing it for someone you love, you will find yourself motivated to do it.

Why Exercise Is Cool?
1. Exercise Strengthens Muscles
Did you ever do a push-up or swing across the monkey bars at the playground?       By using your muscles to do powerful things, you can make them stronger. For older teens and adults, this kind of workout can make muscles bigger, too.
2.     
Can you touch your toes easily without yelling ouch? Most kids are pretty flexible, which means that they can bend and stretch their bodies without much trouble. Being flexible is having “full range of motion,” which means you can move your arms and legs freely without feeling tightness or pain.
3. Exercise Keeps the Balance
     Your body needs a certain amount of calories every day just to function, breathe, walk around, and do all the basic stuff.       If you’re not very active, your body won’t need as many calories.
Whatever your calorie need is, if you eat enough to meet that need, your body weight will stay about the same. If you eat more calories than your body needs, it may be stored as extra fat.
4. Exercise Makes You Feel Good
It feels good to have a strong, flexible body that can do all the activities you enjoy—like running, jumping, and playing with your friends. It’s also fun to be good at something, like scoring a basket, hitting a home run, or perfecting a dive.
But you may not know that exercising can actually put you in a better mood.       It’s just another reason why exercise is cool!

A.So you want to do some aerobic (有氧的) exercise right now?
B.Food gives your body fuel in the form of calories, which are a kind of energy.
C.When you exercise, your brain releases a chemical, which may make you feel happier.
D.Those are exercises that can build strength.

E. Exercise Makes You Flexible
F. Exercise Makes Your Heart Happy
G. But if you’re active, your body needs an extra measure of calories or energy.

Make sure the respondent has enough information
Remember your survey’s purpose
Keep your questions simple
Include only one topic per question
If in doubt, throw it out
Avoid leading questions
Write more effective survey questions
Naturally, no question is “good” in all situations, but there are some general rules to follow. Using these rules and examples will help you write useful questions.
_______________
All other rules and guidelines are based on this one. There was a reason you decided to spend your time and money to do your survey, and you should ensure that every question you ask supports that reason. If you start to get lost while writing your questions, refer back to this rule.
_______________
This is another way of stating the first rule, but it is important enough to repeat. A question should never be included in a survey because you can’t think of a good reason to discard it. If you cannot come up with a concrete benefit that will result from the question, don’t use it.
________________
Compound sentences force respondents to keep a lot of information in their heads, and are likely to produce unpredictable results. Example: “Imagine a situation where the production supervisor is away from the line, a series of defective parts is being manufactured, and you just heard that a new client requires ten thousand of these parts in order to make their production schedule. How empowered do you feel by your organization to stop the line and make the repairs to the manufacturing equipment?” This question is too complex for a clear, usable answer. Try breaking it down into components parts.
_______________
How would you interpret the responses to “Please rate your satisfaction with the amount and kind of care you received while in the hospital.” or, a question asking about speed and accuracy? If you want to be able to come up with specific recommended actions, you need specific questions.
________________
Asking respondents “How effective has this company’s new distribution program been?” may not be as effective as “Recently, we used a new distribution system. Did you know this?” Followed by “Have you seen any positive benefits resulting from this change?” It can be beneficial to break down questions that require background information into two parts: a screening item describing the situation which asks if the respondent knows about it, and a follow-up question addressing attitudes the respondent has about the topic.

根据短文内容,从下框的A-F选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。选项中有一项为多余选项。

A. Try to eat much more to keep health.
B. Healthy eating makes teenagers look good.
C. Healthy eating makes teenagers full of energy.
D. Healthy eating keeps teenagers in a good mood.
E. Healthy eating helps teenagers keep proper weight.
F. Healthy eating ensures teenagers necessary nutrients.

.
There can be many benefits of healthy eating for teenagers to eat proper well-balanced meals each day. Weight is often a sensitive issue for teens. At this point in their lives they become conscious of their self-appearance and fads (风尚) can make them want to look as good as possible. In order to cope with things like this many teens turn to dieting, thinking that it will give them a better body. The truth is that dieting will only deprive the body of the needed nutrients during these growth years. Healthy eating for teenagers on the other hand will help maintain a healthier weight.
.
Eating the right foods means that your teen’s body receives all the vitamins and nutrients it needs. During the teenager years the body tends to absorb more calcium, iron and other vitamins and minerals than usual. By providing what the body of your teen needs it will be easier for it to reach its full physical potential for growth.
【 小题3】
Teenagers often have a lot of extracurricular activities — sports, drama or just hanging out with friends. Without the proper nutrition, your teen will easily get drained and feel tired leaving him or her slow and without any more energy to do anything. The body will need calories to burn to burn in order to create energy. So eating healthy is a must if you want your teen to cope with everyday activities.
.
Notice how your teenager can be so moody at times? Studies show that healthy eating can help reduce mood swings and bring about a more pleasant disposition (性情). The food that your teen eats can affect the chemical composition within the brain. This happens since food can affect the production and release of neurotransmitters (神经传递素) to the brain. Carbohydrates can help with stress reduction while a lack of selenium in the body which is found in nuts can lead to bad moods.
.
Have you ever heard of the saying that you are what you eat? By having them eat healthily they will have healthier bodies. This may include better skin, healthier teeth, hair and a better body in general. Having a teenager who looks good can really help boost their self-confidence and self-esteem.

Travel Manners
Every culture has its own unwritten list of behavior that is acceptable. Every society also has its taboos, or types of behavior that are considered a violation of good manners.
The word taboo comes from the Tongan language and is used in modern English to describe verbal and nonverbal behavior that is forbidden or to be avoided.     They tend to be specific to a culture or country, and usually form around a group’s values and beliefs. What is considered acceptable behavior in one country may be a serious taboo in another.
Verbal taboos usually involve topics that people believe are too private to talk about publicly, or relate to one’s manner of speaking. In many cultures, for example, it is considered bad manners to discuss subjects such as sex or religion in public. In some countries, the volume of one’s voice may annoy people.  
 For example, one of the biggest differences among many Western Asian, and African cultures is the use of eye contact. In the US, people make eye contact when they talk to others.    In many Asian and African cultures, however, children are taught to lower their eyes when talking to their elders, or those of higher rank, as a way to show respect.
Certain gestures made with the hands can have very different meanings depending on the country you are in. Crossing your middle finger over your forefinger is the sign for good luck in many western countries.   Also, in some Asian countries, moving your hands a lot while talking, or ‘talking with your hands’, is considered unsuitable.
Behavior that is acceptable and non-offensive in one culture can be highly offensive in another. When visiting a foreign country, be aware of some of the basic differences, as this will help to ensure a more enjoyable trip.

A.Nonverbal taboos usually relate to body language.
B.In Vietnam and Argentina, however, it is a rude gesture.
C.In spite of what some people may think, taboos are not universal.
D.Cancer is a taboo subject and people are frightened to talk openly about it.

E.Learn a country’s customs so that you don’t hurt the local people unconsciously.
F.They might think that someone who is speaking or laughing loudly is rude or aggressive.
G.If a person avoids eye contact, others might think they are being dishonest or unconfident.

B. The advantages and disadvantages of freelance
C. The definition of freelance
D. Key to freelance success
E. What is freelancing really like?
F. The best way to develop a career
______________________ 
Freelance is a word that goes back to medieval times when it was used to describe soldiers who sold their skills to those prepared to pay their market rate. Today it’s an increasingly common way of working for people in a range of occupations and appeals to many who feel constrained by corporate culture.
______________________ 
What you gain is freedom of movement, what you can lose is a sense of belonging. You can end up feeling isolated from normal support networks, because suddenly you are responsible for your own welfare, training, safety, career development, equipment, professional updating and a thousand other things. It is easy to remain unaware of these things in the relatively cosseted existence of full-time employment. So before you leap up into this exciting and potentially rewarding way of working, stand back and take a look at the risks.
______________________ 
Freelancing has always been a common way of working for writers, artists and performers, but the range of occupations with a substantial number of freelancers is growing steadily. Anyone with a marketable skill can choose to go it alone. Websites offer a free directory listing for those with skills to sell. Their categories include accountants, healthcare consultants, landscape architects and computer trainers. Areas of work that have problems recruiting staff are always keen to employ freelancers.
______________________ 
Being a freelance is different from other forms of self-employment—you still work for an employer or several employers but have to develop a completely different set of relationships with them. Employers are now your customers, you are their supplier. You have to become indispensable to them, providing solutions to their problems, some of which they may not even realize they have. In many ways you have to behave like their dream employee, being more willing and available than you may have got used to while in a “proper job”.
______________________ 
You also have to be aware of, and sensitive to ,the fact that you can be seen as a threat by your customer’s conventional employees, who may regard you as taking work they can do. Successful freelancing relies on the co-operation of everyone you come into contact with. Work that brings you into conflict with an existing workforce can be more trouble than it’s worth.

A lack of self-respect can prevent you from fulfilling your potential and developing healthy relationships. Here are some steps to help you know how to respect yourself.
__________ The qualities that we respect vary from person to person, and the way we express it varies from culture to culture. Generally, we respect people who have more experience and are more accomplished than ourselves. But there is also a basic level of respect that most people will agree is a right, and does not need to be earned. So think about what it means to respect others. Here are some widely agreed-upon signals of respect: You don’t steal from, harm, or insult them; you are honest with them; you listen to what they say, consider their opinions, and avoid interrupting them.
__________ We often do things for ourselves that we would never dream of doing for someone we care about. Whatever you believe to be respectful, apply it to yourself. Don’t harm yourself. Don’t insult yourself. Don’t steal from yourself. Be honest with yourself. Develop your own opinions and don’t be afraid to stand by them.
__________ A person with self-respect doesn’t allow others to treat them badly, and would rather not be around someone who is disrespectful. This might seem obvious, but there are many times when we accept being treated badly. When someone doesn’t give you basic respect, you need to be able to say, in one way or another, “You just disrespected me and that’s not acceptable! If you don’t respect me, I won’t spend time with you any more.” Can you say that, and mean it?
Can you turn your back on someone who’s clearly shown that they don’t respect you? Once you do, you’ll feel your sense of self-respect go up.
__________ When you make an effort to keep your body in good working order, you’ll not only feel better physically, but also  feel a sense of pride. Respecting your body also means not insulting it for what it is, naturally. Make an effort to get fit and stay healthy. Focus on the things you can change and improve, and do them because it feels good.
__________ The more you know about yourself, the more you’ll see and appreciate how unique you really are. And you’ll respect yourself more. Discover your principles, personality, and talents. Stop waiting for other people’s approval and start developing your own standards.
Develop a unique and original way of expressing your opinions while at the same time being a good listener.
