If something that you’re doing doesn’t challenge you, then it doesn’t change you. We all need some normal stress in our lives, after all.1.So challenge the following limits:
1.Figure out what you’re scared of and do it continuously.
If you’re a salesman, and you’re scared of talking to people personally or over the phone, now, instead of being scared and thinking you’ll fail, spend at least five minutes a day to pick up the phone and make a call.2.But don’t stop on the first try! Eventually, you can look at fear in the eyes and say, “Go on, I’m not scared!”
2.3.
Make sure this hobby is not linked to your career; you have to relax and relieve your stress while performing this. Some examples might be cooking, sewing, painting and so on. Apart from helping you challenge yourself, taking a class for your hobby may also give you extra income.
3.Set aside at least nine minutes a day for physical exercise.
4.A simple 9-minute run around your neighborhood can do wonders for yourself. Exercise can not only help you maintain your regular weight, but also make you feel better about yourself.
4.Travel and allow yourself to be interested in new people.
Don’t just limit yourself to your fellow travelers-try to connect with the service staff. You never know what kind of people they’re going to be. Get out of your house or go online right now to book your class.5.
A. You should do it continuously.
B. Someone may hang up on you.
C. You don’t need to go to the gym.
D. Running in the gym may be a better choice.
E. Start to travel now and learn to challenge yourself.
F. Take a class for a hobby you’ve been waiting to develop.
G. You can never see any improvement if you stick to your comfort zone.
1.G
2.B
3.F
4.C
5.E
【解析】
試題分析：介紹了4種挑戰自己的方法，有挑戰才有提升。
1. something that you’re doing doesn’t challenge you, then it doesn’t change you便告知，如果你做的事沒有挑戰，你就不會改變。可知G選項順承了文意，故選G
2. don’t stop on the first try但別停止在第一次上，推斷可能遇到了不好的結果，被人掛了電話。故選B

It’s natural to greet friends with a smile and a wave. ___【小題1】____ But what happens if your face and body send mixed messages? Would someone be more likely to believe the look on your face or the way you hold your body?
Scientists have recently tackled these questions. They found that when a person is looking at your face, she might not believe what she sees of your body language doesn’t match the feeling that your face shows. ___【小題2】____ Previously, they had found that the tone of a person’s voice can be more important than the words that are spoken. For example, most people tend not to believe a person who says in a flat voice, “I’m so excited.”
When it came to emotions conveyed by facial expressions and body language, most scientists suspected that the face was more important. To test if this was true, psychologists from the Netherlands and Boston showed people a number of pictures of isolated(孤立的） faces and isolated bodies(with faces blurred out （模糊的))that showed anger or fear. 【小題3】____
An angry face had low eyebrows and tight lips. A scared face had high eyebrow and a slightly open mouth. 【小題4】___ A scared body had arms forward and shoulders square, as if ready to defend.
These results told the researchers that mixed signals can confuse people. Even when people pay attention to the face, body language subtly(微妙地） influences which emotion they read.
___ 【小題5】____And if you want to be understood, it helps to avoid sending mixed messages.
| A．Scientists feel new to study the mixed message that confuses people. |
| B．When you do this, your face and body work together to show your friends that you’re happy to see them. |
| C． Studying such mixed messages is nothing new for scientists.． |
| D．They also showed pictures in which angry or scared faces were paired with angry or scared bodies |

Many people find themselves caught up in others’ problems, and then confused about how and when to help. In fact, all relationships need limits no matter whether they are friendships, sibling relations, mates/ lovers or business relations. On some level, all limit setting means saying no. However, it is usually a qualified “no” that says what, where, when, and under what conditions you will give or not give to another person. There are three points we should keep in mind about limit setting:
1.Decide where to set the limits. Think about the entire situation. Consider your time, emotions, and means. Then consider whether you are helping the other person. Aim to do something to help the other person without taking on the whole problem.
2.Express the limits clearly. For example, you say to your friend, “ I will lend you $20,000 no more than once every three months. And I expect you will pay me back within three months and certainly before you can borrow more.” You say to another friend, “you can stay here for three weeks but you must help me with expenses and cooking and make sure that you will find your own place before the three weeks is up”.
3.Stick to your limits. You are not responsible for making the other person obey the limits. You are only responsible for following the limits yourself. Your friend has repaid $12,500 of his/her $20,000 and asks for $20,000 more. You say no. He/She gets emotional and then says, “I need this money to cover a bad check. If you cared for our friendship, you would do it”.
Limit setting is often stressful and painful because people mistakes it for rejection. And limit setting certainly brings guilt. Bear in mind, it doesn’t mean you have given up or quit loving your friend, lovers, or sibling. It does mean you are expressing that love in a different and more helpful (to both of you) manner.
1.According to the passage, setting limits means___________________.
A. refusing always to say yes to your friend
B. saying no to your friend who turns to you
C. making different kinds of friends
D. breaking away from your friend
2.Once you decide to set limits, you should________________________.
A. announce it publicly to others
B. tell your friend about it clearly
C. be responsible for your friend
D. begin to help your friend
3.We can learn from the last paragraph that limit setting______________.
A. is often misunderstood
B. is actually a kind of rejection
C. does harm to your friendship
D.contains both love and hate
4.What would be the best title for the passage?
A. About friendship
B. How to make friends
C. Set limits with friends
D. Show your love in a new way

I found out one time that doing a favor for someone could get you into a lot of trouble. I was in the eighth grade at the time, and we were having a final test. During the test, the girl sitting next to me whispered something, but I didn’t understand. So I leaned over her way and found out that she was trying to ask me if I had an extra pen. She showed me that hers was out of ink and would not write. I happened to have an extra one, so I took it out of my pocket and put it on her desk.
Later, after the test papers had been turned in, the teacher asked me to stay in the room when all the other students were dismissed（解散）. As soon as we were alone she began to talk to me about what it meant to grow up; she talked about how important it was to stand on your own two feet and be responsible for your own acts. For a long time, she talked about honesty and emphasized（強調） the fact that when people do something dishonest, they are really cheating（欺騙） themselves. She made me promise that I would think seriously（認真地） about all the things she had said, and then she told me I could leave. I walked out of the room wondering why she had chosen to talk to me about all those things.
Later on, I found out that she thought I had cheated on the test. When she saw me lean over to talk to the girl next to me, it looked as if I was copying answers from the girl’s test paper. I tried to explain about the pen, but all she could say was it seemed very strange to her that I hadn’t talked of anything about the pen the day she talked to me right after the test. Even if I tried to explain that I was just doing the girl a favor by letting her use my pen, I am sure she continued（繼續） to believe that I had cheated on the test.
1.The story took place（發生） exactly ____ .
A. in the teacher’s office B. in an exam room
C. in the school D. in the language lab
2.The girl wanted to borrow a pen, because ____ .
A. she had not brought a pen with her
B. she had lost her own on her way to school
C. there was something wrong with her own
D. her own had been taken away by someone
3.The teacher saw all this, so she asked the boy ____ .
A. to go on writing his paper
B. to stop whispering
C. to leave the room immediately
D. to stay behind after the exam
4.The thing(s) emphasized in her talk was(were) ____ .
A. honesty B. sense of duty
C. seriousness D. all of the above
5.The boy knew everything ____ .
A. the moment he was asked to stay behind
B. when the teacher started talking about honesty
C. when he was walking out of the room
D. only some time later
