——良好的人际关系与人际交往
Shouldn’t mobile phones，emails and voicemail help us communicate more easily？Sadly，it’s not always like that.Take the other day for example：When I was walking through the park with my friend，suddenly his mobile phone rang and he answered it—leaving me alone and cutting our conversation dead！In fact，the park was filled with people talking on their mobile phones.They were passing other people without even looking at them，or stopping walking their dogs.Clearly，people can use mobile phones everywhere，but they ignore（忽视） the people around.
Why is it that the more connected we get，the more disconnected I feel？ New communication technology seems to make people keep away from each other.With emails over the Internet，we can communicate without seeing or talking to one another.With WeChat or QQ，we can have conversations without even meeting that person.Even some food stores are using self－scanners so that we can check out.As the contact between human beings becomes automated（自动化的），my feeling of being disconnected gets stronger.Don’t get me wrong.I’m not against machines.I also own a mobile phone and an email account.Giving them up isn’t a good idea，as they are useful to have around.It’s just that when they keep us away from human contact，I begin to feel sad.What’s more，I find myself answering emails instead of talking to people.The technology that was made to help keep us in contact with each other is，in fact，making me feel more lonely（孤独的）.
What can we do？Well，try to use less technology：No emailing people who live nearby，and no letting QQ and WeChat catch you all the time.
（　 　）5.The purpose（目的） of the example in Paragraph 1 is to show that 　　　　　.
A.mobile phones bring a lot of convenience（便捷） to people
B.mobile phones make people ignore others around
C.people communicate more easily with mobile phones
（　 　）6.What does the underlined word “disconnected” in Paragraph 2 mean？
A.Lonely. B.Happy. C.Silly.
（　 　）7.What can we infer（推断） from Paragraph 2？
A.Technology keeps people busier than before.
B.The writer would like to contact people face to face.
C.The writer is going to give up the mobile phone.
（　 　）8.What’s the best title of the text？
A.Technology and Human Life
B.The Importance of Technology
C.Technology and Human Contact

①adj.死的；失去生命的

——沟通与交流
Knowing how to communicate well needs very personal attention between you and another person.We should face it.Is there a better way to learn how to communicate successfully？Yes，there is.Please follow the steps below.
Relax and breathe.
Whether it’s a business meeting or a first date，the first thing you must do in order to communicate is to relax.
When you relax，you are in control（控制）.You control your reactions（反应） and your reactions do not control you.Breathing is central to relaxation.Take a few deep breaths and your body will begin to be more relaxed.This will help use what you have already known about how to communicate well.
　　Think and you will be prepared.
As the old saying goes，“Think before you speak.” By thinking ahead about how the conversation might flow（流畅），you will be better prepared，more relaxed and more confident.
Follow the flow of the conversation.
If you are uncomfortable，being quiet will only make it worse and make the other person uncomfortable as well.So when all else fails，you should follow through with small talk until a common topic appears.
A good way to keep a conversation going is to ask the other person questions.People love to talk about themselves and if you do this，they will keep the conversation going，thinking very highly of you.
Learning good communication skills is not something out of reach.If you try，you will succeed.
（　 　）1.If you want to communicate successfully，what should you do first？
A.Follow the conversation.
B.Relax yourself fully.
C.Take as many breaths as possible.
（　 　）2.Which of the following is TRUE according to the text？

B.Personal Communication
C.How to Communicate Well
Ⅴ.阅读还原。
In English classes，we spend a lot of time studying grammar and learning new words.We work hard to get better with our teaching and listening skills.However，few of us pay enough attention to body language.1.
The answer is certainly “No”.As the saying goes，“2. ” Sometimes，we can communicate things even without a word.For example，when we shrug our shoulders（耸肩），without a word，we mean “I don’t know.”
3. For example，if someone makes you upset，you may cross（交叉） your arms to show that you’re unhappy.You may turn away or raise your shoulders because you are uncomfortable with the conversation.
Body language is important in our personal lives too.4. Leaning（倾斜） forward in the conversation，for example，means you are interested in what your friends are saying.However，listening without making eye contact means you are not paying attention to or you are bored with what your friends are talking about.
So，it is very important for us to learn body language.5. We will also have lasting friendships.
A.It can show if you really care about your friends.
B.So does it mean that body language is not important？
C.A single act can show a message better than a thousand words.
D.Body language can express our true inner（内心的） feelings.
E.By understanding body language，we will find it easier to understand others.
F.We exchange more than 70％ of our messages through body language.

贵州中考语篇专练
Ⅰ.阅读理解。
“How was your weekend？”“Did you see the game on TV last night？”“Isn’t the weather beautiful today？”These questions and the answers to them are examples of “small talk”—the short，friendly talk that people have with friends and partners.
Some people avoid（避免） making small talk at work.They think they shouldn’t talk about things that aren’t important for the job，or their partners will think they aren’t serious about their work.And some people just don’t enjoy talking about themselves.
But small talk is important！Knowing how to make small talk is a skill that can help you a lot.By making small talk，you show that you are friendly and interested in your partners.You become a better team member.If you don’t make small talk，others might feel uncomfortable around you and think you’re unfriendly.Peter Harper，a manager（经理） at the Apex Company in the USA，says，“We always look for friendly workers who know how to communicate with each other and with our customers.”
Here are some tips for successful small talk.You can talk about safe topics such as the weather，sports，hobbies，TV programmes，and famous people like movie stars，singers，etc.You can also share some information about your family such as birthday parties and other family events，but don’t share very personal information like family problems.You can talk about the news too.But avoid topics on money，age，weight and so on.
Listening is an important part of small talk.Listen carefully to what the other person is saying and ask questions.Don’t just talk about yourself.And remember to smile！Making small talk takes practice.The more you do it，the better you’ll be at making small talk！
（　 　）1.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about？
A.Why some people don’t make small talk.
B.Why some people don’t trust their partners.
C.How some people learn to be serious about their work.
（　 　）2.Which of the following will Peter Harper probably agree with？
A.Most customers like small talk.
B.A good listener doesn’t need to ask questions.
C.If a person is good at communicating，he can be a good worker.
（　 　）3.According to the text，which of the following is OK for small talk？
A.“How old are you？”
B.“Why did your parents argue yesterday？”
C.“Who is your favourite actor？”
（　 　）4.What’s the structure of the text？（P＝Paragraph）
A.　B.　C.
Ⅱ.任务型阅读。
阅读下面短文，根据其内容填空和回答问题。1至4题每题答案不超过3个单词，5题须用完整句子回答。
About your problems，sometimes most of you still want parents’ help and advice.However，talking to them can be difficult.What should you do to make it easier？
The more you do something，the easier it will be.Everything seems difficult at first.But if you talk to your parents more often，you will be surprised to see the change.And next time when you have problems，you will feel more comfortable to talk with them.
Tell your parents something about you.You can share your school life with them.Even a small talk like what’s for dinner can keep the relationship between you and your parents close.
Maybe you also need to tell them some bad news like failing an exam.Don’t be worried about what they will think of you.On the contrary（相反），they will help you find out the reasons for your poor grades.And next time，you will do better.
Anyway，remember that you are the most important person to your parents in the world.If something they do makes you unhappy，you shouldn’t be angry with them.Just have a good talk，and I am sure everything will be better.
1.It is for you to talk with your parents if you do something more.

——良好的人际关系与人际交往
Shouldn’t mobile phones，emails and voicemail help us communicate more easily？Sadly，it’s not always like that.Take the other day for example：When I was walking through the park with my friend，suddenly his mobile phone rang and he answered it—leaving me alone and cutting our conversation dead！In fact，the park was filled with people talking on their mobile phones.They were passing other people without even looking at them，or stopping walking their dogs.Clearly，people can use mobile phones everywhere，but they ignore（忽视） the people around.
Why is it that the more connected we get，the more disconnected I feel？ New communication technology seems to make people keep away from each other.With emails over the Internet，we can communicate without seeing or talking to one another.With WeChat or QQ，we can have conversations without even meeting that person.Even some food stores are using self－scanners so that we can check out.As the contact between human beings becomes automated（自动化的），my feeling of being disconnected gets stronger.Don’t get me wrong.I’m not against machines.I also own a mobile phone and an email account.Giving them up isn’t a good idea，as they are useful to have around.It’s just that when they keep us away from human contact，I begin to feel sad.What’s more，I find myself answering emails instead of talking to people.The technology that was made to help keep us in contact with each other is，in fact，making me feel more lonely（孤独的）.
What can we do？Well，try to use less technology：No emailing people who live nearby，and no letting QQ and WeChat catch you all the time.
（　B　）5.The purpose（目的） of the example in Paragraph 1 is to show that 　　　　　.
A.mobile phones bring a lot of convenience（便捷） to people
B.mobile phones make people ignore others around
C.people communicate more easily with mobile phones
（　A　）6.What does the underlined word “disconnected” in Paragraph 2 mean？
A.Lonely. B.Happy. C.Silly.
（　B　）7.What can we infer（推断） from Paragraph 2？
A.Technology keeps people busier than before.
B.The writer would like to contact people face to face.
C.The writer is going to give up the mobile phone.
（　C　）8.What’s the best title of the text？
A.Technology and Human Life
B.The Importance of Technology
C.Technology and Human Contact

——沟通与交流
Knowing how to communicate well needs very personal attention between you and another person.We should face it.Is there a better way to learn how to communicate successfully？Yes，there is.Please follow the steps below.
Relax and breathe.
Whether it’s a business meeting or a first date，the first thing you must do in order to communicate is to relax.
When you relax，you are in control（控制）.You control your reactions（反应） and your reactions do not control you.Breathing is central to relaxation.Take a few deep breaths and your body will begin to be more relaxed.This will help use what you have already known about how to communicate well.
　　Think and you will be prepared.
As the old saying goes，“Think before you speak.” By thinking ahead about how the conversation might flow（流畅），you will be better prepared，more relaxed and more confident.
Follow the flow of the conversation.
If you are uncomfortable，being quiet will only make it worse and make the other person uncomfortable as well.So when all else fails，you should follow through with small talk until a common topic appears.
A good way to keep a conversation going is to ask the other person questions.People love to talk about themselves and if you do this，they will keep the conversation going，thinking very highly of you.
Learning good communication skills is not something out of reach.If you try，you will succeed.

A.You will be good at communication if you reach out your hand.
B.You can learn good communication skills if you try.

In English classes，we spend a lot of time studying grammar and learning new words.We work hard to get better with our teaching and listening skills.However，few of us pay enough attention to body language.1.　B　
The answer is certainly “No”.As the saying goes，“2.　C　” Sometimes，we can communicate things even without a word.For example，when we shrug our shoulders（耸肩），without a word，we mean “I don’t know.”
3.　D　 For example，if someone makes you upset，you may cross（交叉） your arms to show that you’re unhappy.You may turn away or raise your shoulders because you are uncomfortable with the conversation.
Body language is important in our personal lives too.4.　A　 Leaning（倾斜） forward in the conversation，for example，means you are interested in what your friends are saying.However，listening without making eye contact means you are not paying attention to or you are bored with what your friends are talking about.
So，it is very important for us to learn body language.5.　E　 We will also have lasting friendships.
A.It can show if you really care about your friends.
B.So does it mean that body language is not important？
C.A single act can show a message better than a thousand words.
D.Body language can express our true inner（内心的） feelings.
E.By understanding body language，we will find it easier to understand others.
F.We exchange more than 70％ of our messages through body language.

Hope you can have good communication with your parents.

贵州中考语篇专练
Ⅰ.阅读理解。
“How was your weekend？”“Did you see the game on TV last night？”“Isn’t the weather beautiful today？”These questions and the answers to them are examples of “small talk”—the short，friendly talk that people have with friends and partners.
Some people avoid（避免） making small talk at work.They think they shouldn’t talk about things that aren’t important for the job，or their partners will think they aren’t serious about their work.And some people just don’t enjoy talking about themselves.
But small talk is important！Knowing how to make small talk is a skill that can help you a lot.By making small talk，you show that you are friendly and interested in your partners.You become a better team member.If you don’t make small talk，others might feel uncomfortable around you and think you’re unfriendly.Peter Harper，a manager（经理） at the Apex Company in the USA，says，“We always look for friendly workers who know how to communicate with each other and with our customers.”
Here are some tips for successful small talk.You can talk about safe topics such as the weather，sports，hobbies，TV programmes，and famous people like movie stars，singers，etc.You can also share some information about your family such as birthday parties and other family events，but don’t share very personal information like family problems.You can talk about the news too.But avoid topics on money，age，weight and so on.
Listening is an important part of small talk.Listen carefully to what the other person is saying and ask questions.Don’t just talk about yourself.And remember to smile！Making small talk takes practice.The more you do it，the better you’ll be at making small talk！
（　A　）1.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about？
A.Why some people don’t make small talk.
B.Why some people don’t trust their partners.
C.How some people learn to be serious about their work.
（　C　）2.Which of the following will Peter Harper probably agree with？
A.Most customers like small talk.
B.A good listener doesn’t need to ask questions.
C.If a person is good at communicating，he can be a good worker.
（　C　）3.According to the text，which of the following is OK for small talk？
A.“How old are you？”
B.“Why did your parents argue yesterday？”
C.“Who is your favourite actor？”
（　A　）4.What’s the structure of the text？（P＝Paragraph）
A.　B.　C.
Ⅱ.任务型阅读。
阅读下面短文，根据其内容填空和回答问题。1至4题每题答案不超过3个单词，5题须用完整句子回答。
About your problems，sometimes most of you still want parents’ help and advice.However，talking to them can be difficult.What should you do to make it easier？
The more you do something，the easier it will be.Everything seems difficult at first.But if you talk to your parents more often，you will be surprised to see the change.And next time when you have problems，you will feel more comfortable to talk with them.
Tell your parents something about you.You can share your school life with them.Even a small talk like what’s for dinner can keep the relationship between you and your parents close.
Maybe you also need to tell them some bad news like failing an exam.Don’t be worried about what they will think of you.On the contrary（相反），they will help you find out the reasons for your poor grades.And next time，you will do better.
Anyway，remember that you are the most important person to your parents in the world.If something they do makes you unhappy，you shouldn’t be angry with them.Just have a good talk，and I am sure everything will be better.
1.It is 　easier/more comfortable　 for you to talk with your parents if you do something more.
2.The writer gives 　3/three　 piece（s） of advice in the passage.
3.The main idea of the third paragraph is about 　telling your parents　 something about you.
4.We can 　work out/solve　 some problems by talking to parents often.
5.Do you often talk with your parents when you have problems？Why or why not？
　Yes，I do.I think they can give me help and advice.（答案不唯一，言之有理即可）　
Ⅲ.根据中文提示，补全英语译文。每空限填一词，缩写算一词。

1.当我在作业上遇到困难时，我喜欢问父母，而不是人工智能。

4.父母在教导时还会使用温和的话语。这让孩子感觉更好，也更有自信。
