In the last three years，I have read approximately 150 books.Reading almost every day in the last three years has increased my reading comprehension.It has also improved my own writing skills.This has boosted my confidence and encouraged me to start writing more often.I am now writing a fiction book.I write and edit for Odyssey，and I am an officer for the SNHU Book Club.This has also helped me become a better student.I'm able to read and comprehend the text more for each class，and do well on the assignments because of my better writing skills.I truly love it，and can't imagine where I would be right now if I hadn't become a bookworm.
Because I read so much，I have decided to start doing a written version of a book haul.In short，a book haul is a review of the books read each month.They are typically done as a video，but until I have the proper equipment to do that，I will be writing mine.At the end of each month I will discuss the books I read，the books I bought，or received，and then ask for your thoughts and suggestions.
January was a busy month for me.I only finished one book，Mark of Distinction by Jessica Dotta.It's the second book in the Price of Privilege trilogy.I bought Carve the Mark，Veronica Roth's new book，and An Unquiet Mind，a psychology based book by Kay Redfield Jamison.I plan on reading these in February，as well as the third section of the Red Queen series，King's Cage by Victoria Aveyard，which will be released on February 7.I am so excited for it!
If you've read any of the books I ever mention，feel free to reach out either on here，or my social media account!I love chatting about books!

1．Suppose you're in a rush，felling tired，not paying attention to your screen，and you send an email that could get you in trouble．
Realisation will probably set in seconds after you've clicked "send"．You freeze in horror and bum with shame．
What to do？Here are four common email accidents，and how to recover．
Clicking "send" too soon
Don't waste your time trying to find out if the receiver has read it yet．Write another email as swiftly as you can and send it with a brief title explaining that this is the correct version and the previous version should be ignored．
Writing the wrong name
The sooner you notice，the better．Respond quickly and briefly，apologising for your mistake．Keep the tone measured：don't handle it too lightly，as people can be offended，especially if your error suggests a misunderstanding of their culture （i．e．incorrect ordering of Chinese names）．
Clicking "reply all" unintentionally
You accidentally reveal（透露）to the entire company what menu choices you would prefer at the staff Christmas dinner，or what holiday you'd like to take．In this instance，the best solution is to send a quick，light-hearted apology to explain your awkwardness．But it can quickly rise to something worse，when everyone starts hitting "reply all" to join in a long and unpleasant conversation．In this instance，step away from your keyboard to allow everyone to calm down．
Sending an offensive message to its subject
The most awkward email mistake is usually committed in anger．You write an unkind message about someone，intending to send it to a friend，but accidentally send it to the person you're discussing．In that case，ask to speak in person as soon as possible and say sorry．Explain your frustrations calmly and sensibly -see it as an opportunity to clear up any difficulties you may have with this person．
（1）After realizing an email accident，you are likely to feel．
A．curious
B．tired
C．a(chǎn)wful
D．funny
（2）If you have written the wrong name in an email，it is best to．
A．a(chǎn)pologise in a serious manner
B．tell the receiver to ignore the error
C．learn to write the name correctly
D．send a short notice to everyone
（3）What should you do when an unpleasant conversation is started by your "reply all" email？
A．Try offering other choices．
B．Avoid further involvement．
C．Meet other staff members．
D．Make a light hearted apology．
（4）What is the passage mainly about？

2．Sure，it's good to get along well with your teacher because it makes the time you spend in the classroom more pleasant.
And yes，it's good to get along well with your teacher because，in general，it's smart to learn how to get along well with the different types of people you'll meet throughout your life.
In fact，kids who get along well with their teachers not only learn more，but they're more comfortable about asking questions and getting extra help.This makes it easier for them to understand new materials and do their best on tests.When you have this kind of relationship with a teacher，he or she can be someone to turn to with problems，such as problems with learning or school issues.
Here is a question：what if you don't get along well with your teachers？In fact，teachers want to get along well with you and enjoy seeing you learn.But teachers and students sometimes have personality clashes（個性沖突），which can happen between any two people.If you show your teacher that you want to make the situation better，he or she will probably do everything possible to make that happen.By dealing with a problem like this，you learn something about how to get along with people who are different from you.
However，if a certain teacher isn't your favorite，you can still have a successful relationship with him or her，especially_____.Here are some of those responsibilities：
?Attend class ready to learn.
?Be prepared for class with the right pencils，books，and completed assignments.
?Listen when your teacher is talking.
?Do your best，whether it's a classroom assignment，homework，or a test.
（1）According to the passage，getting along well with your teachers will make you.
A．get the best scores in the exams
B．have more pleasant time in the classroom
C．have no problems with study
D．get a better seat in the classroom
（2）The underlined word "that" in the fourth paragraph refers to.
A．getting along very well with classmates

3．Have you ever had the experience of talking to someone and you think they are lying？Well，you are not alone.We've all had that feeling.But did you know that there are several things you can look for to see if you are being lied to？
Sometimes you can tell if a person is lying by observing what they do with their body.When people are lying they tend not to move their arms，hands or legs very far from their body.They don't want to take up very much space because they don't want to be noticed.Sometimes a person who is lying will not look you in the eyes.Other times people who lie try to look at you in a strong way because they want to convince you they are telling the truth.
Liars also use deflection.For example，if you ask a liar the question "Did you steal Fatima's bag？"，they may answer with something like "Fatima is my friend.Why would I do that？" In this situation the person is telling the truth，but they are also not answering the question.They are trying to deflect your attention.Liars may also give too many details.They may try to over-explain things.They do this because they want to convince you of what they are saying.
Often when a person is lying，they do not want to continue talking about their lie.If you think someone is lying，quickly change the subject.If the person is lying，they will appear more comfortable because they are not talking about their lie any longer.A little later，change the subject back to what you were talking about before.If the person seems uncomfortable again，they may be lying.
It's very hard for a liar to avoid filling silence created by you.He or she wants you to believe the lies being woven；silence gives no feedback on whether or not you've bought the story.If you're a good listener，you'll already be avoiding interruptions，which in itself is a great technique to let the story unfold.
Just because a person is showing these behaviors，it does not mean they are lying.They might be shy or nervous.But，if you think someone is lying，you might want to use some of these techniques.Hopefully，you won't need to very often.
（1）By saying "Liars also use deflection" （paragraph 3），the writer means that liars may.
A．tell great stories
B．change tone of voice
C．a(chǎn)sk a question in reply
D．a(chǎn)void direct answers
（2）According to the passage，a person could be lying if he or she.
A．offers more information than necessary
B．a(chǎn)ppears to be shy or nervous
C．changes the subject of the conversation
D．speaks very fast and vaguely
（3）Which of the following can be learned from the passage？
A．Liars always try to avoid direct eye contact when they tell lies.
B．We can make people lie by changing the subject in a conversation.
C．Liars are often expansive in hand and arm movements while talking.
D．We make liars uncomfortable by giving no feedback in a conversation.
（4）The passage mainly talks about.
A．who deceives us
B．why people tell lies
C．how to detect lies
D．what to do with liars發(fā)布：2024/12/30 1:0:8組卷：10引用：1難度：0.3
