12. (阅读理解题)
The residents of 24 Acacia Grove were dissatisfied with the condition of the property, so John Preston called a meeting to discuss things last week. At the meeting John suggested setting up a residents’ committee. Everyone was so worried and angry about the agent’s inactivity that they agreed, and they elected John as chairman of the committee. Many residents said that they were tired of telephoning the agent and tired of complaining about the flats. Although the agent was responsible for the flats, they thought that he didn’t do enough. Therefore John was asked to write to the agent and say that they were disappointed with the management of the flats.
The next service payment was due at the end of the month. However, they agreed not to pay it until they were happy with the plans to improve the property. They decided to tell the agent that he must start the work within one month. They all went away very pleased with themselves.

13. (阅读理解题) Shyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people. Shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are excessively concerned with their own appearance and actions. Worrisome thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: What kind of impression am I making? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattractive clothes? It is obvious that such uncomfortable feeling must negatively affect people. A person’s conception of himself or herself is reflected in the way he or she behaves, and the way a person behaves affects other people’s reactions. In general, the way people think about themselves has a profound effect on all areas of their lives. Shy people, having low self-esteem, are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others. They need reassurance that they are doing “the right thing.” Shy people are very sensitive to criticism: they feel it confirms their feelings of inferiority. They also find it difficult to be pleased by compliment with a statement like this one: “You’re just saying that to make me feel good. I know it’s not true.” It is clear that, while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful. Can shyness be completely eliminated, or at least reduced? Fortunately, people can overcome shyness with determined and patient efforts in building self-confidence. Since shyness goes hand in hand with a lack of self-esteem, it is important for people to accept their weakness as well as their strengths. Each one of us is a unique, worthwhile individual, interested in our own personal ways. The better we understand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our full potential. Let’s not allow shyness to block our chances for a rich and fulfilling life. (1). (单选题) What does the author try to prove by citing “what kind of impression am I making?” in Para.1? ( )(本题3.0分) A、 Shy people benefit from their caring about their appearance. B、 People’s shyness made them care too much about their appearance and actions. C、 It’s natural that shy people don’t believe other’s compliments. D、 Shy people think they are different from others.
(2). (单选题) According to the writer, too much self-awareness is _______. ( )(本题3.0分) A、 a weak pointy of shy people B、 the cause of unhappiness C、 harmful to people D、 a good quality
(3). (单选题) That shy people react to a compliment in such a way is ________. ( )(本题3.0分) A、 good B、 unreal C、 harmful D、 very reasonable
(4). (单选题) Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? ( )(本题3.0分) A、 Shyness can block our chances for a rich life. B、 Shyness enables us to understand ourselves better. C、 Shyness helps us to develop our potential. D、 Shyness has nothing to do with lack of self-esteem.

14. (阅读理解题) Many people who work in London prefer to live outside it, and to go in to their offices or schools every day by train, car or bus, even though this means they have to get up early in the morning and reach home late in the evening. One advantage of living outside London is that houses are cheaper. Even a small flat in London without a garden costs quite a lot to rent. With the same money, one can get a little house in the country with a garden of one’s own. Then, in the country one can really get away from the noise and hurry of busy working lives. Even though one has to get up earlier and spend more time in trains or buses, one can sleep better at night and during weekends and on summer evenings, one can enjoy the fresh, clean air of the country. If one likes gardens, one can spend one’s free time digging, planting, watering and doing the hundred and one other jobs which are needed in a garden. Then, when the flowers and vegetables come up, one has the reward of one who has shared the secrets of Nature. Some people, however, take no interest in country things: for them, happiness lies in the town, with its cinemas and theatres, beautiful shops and busy streets, dance halls and restaurants. Such people would feel that their life was not worth living if they had to live it outside London. An occasional walk in one of the parks and a fortnight’s (two weeks) visit to the sea every summer is all the country they want: the rest they are quite prepared to leave to those who are glad to get away from London every night.

(3). (单选题) When the garden is in blossom, the one _____ has been rewarded. ( )(本题3.0分) A、 living in the country B、 having spent time working in the garden C、 having a garden of his own D、 having been digging, planting and watering
(4). (单选题) People who think happiness lies in the town would feel that if they had to live it outside London. ( )(本题3.0分) A、 their life was meaningless B、 their life was invaluable C、 they didn’t deserve a happy life D、 they were not worthy of their happy life
