“Why do I live Why do I wish for anything, or do anything Is there anything in my life that will not be destroyed by my death ” Like Leo Tolstoy (列夫·托尔斯泰), the famous Russian writer, many people ask these difficult questions. Tolstoy spent his whole life trying to answer these difficult questions.
As a young man, he thought people could achieve perfection if they tried hard enough. So he worked very hard to be the best in everything. He thought that he would find meaning and truth in success. In 1850s, he wrote his first stories. He wrote about his life in the army. He also told stories about his childhood. These works were published and Tolstoy became a well-known writer.
He earned the respect he always wanted. Many rich and smart men met and talked with Tolstoy. Some of them were writers like him. They talked a lot about faith and the meaning of life. But soon Tolstoy recognized that these men were not perfect. Now he knew they could not answer his questions about faith.
So in the 1860s, Tolstoy tried a different way to find the meaning of life.
He opened a school for the children of his serfs—the people who worked on his land. These workers were very poor. He wanted to help them because he thought they were more honest than the rich people he knew.
Tolstoy learned a lot from his workers. He understood how they worked hard to support their families. He began to believe that marriage and family would give his life meaning. So in 1862, Leo Tolstoy married a young woman named Sonya Behrs.
The next 15 years were the best years of Tolstoy’s life. It was during this time that he wrote his most famous books—War and Peace and Anna Karenina (《安娜·卡列尼娜》). Many experts say that War and Peace is one of the greatest books ever written. In these books, Tolstoy believed humans should live a simple life and take care of their families. Tolstoy thought this would satisfy him and bring him happiness.
Leo Tolstoy is still a very respected writer today. His faith and writings have influenced many people all over the world.

Learning a language is a challenging but rewarding experience. Different people have different ways of learning languages.
Some people prefer to learn languages by memorizing grammar rules and vocabulary lists. They think this is a systematic (系统的) way to build a solid foundation (基础). For example, they will spend hours learning verb tenses and new words, This method can be very effective for some people, especially those who are good at logical thinking. It helps them understand the structure of the language better.
However, others believe in learning through immersion. They try to be around the language as much as possible. They watch movies and TV shows in the target language, listen to music, and oven try to have conversations with native (母语的) speakers. This way, they can get a feel for the language in real-1ife situations. For instance, a student who wants to learn English might watch a lot of English-language movies. By doing so, they can pick up common expressions and improve their listening skills at the same time.
There are also people who like to learn languages by using language-1earning apps. These apps have many different tools such as interactive lessons, games, and tests. They make learning fun and convenient. You can learn at your own step and review the lessons whenever you want. A popular language-learning app might have thousands of users around the world, all learning different languages in an enjoyable way.

Do you want to become better at making small talk with new people Do you want to become better at networking with others Nothing will improve your networking ability and your ability to make a successful conversation with other people rather than your curiosity(好奇心) about them.
When you are curious about other people, you will want to discover some of the interesting ways that they are similar to you. When you are curious about them, you’ll also be interested to discover the ways in which they think differently and live differently from you.
When you have curiosity about others, you will be much less self-conscious and your conversations will work a lot better. Instead of worrying yourself, “What can I say next that won’t sound stupid ”, you will be focused on learning more about the other person.
Making small talk with strangers can be tricky. We’ve all heard the advice that we should pick something out of our immediate environment and use that as a main point to start our small talk with the other person.
It’s true that this can be a great starting point for a conversation. However, when you focus too much on discussing things like the weather in your city, you can bring the conversation to a painful end very quickly. The other person will sense that you are trying to make a conversation, but that you have no interest in really getting to know him or her.
How can you keep small talk from becoming boring
One way is to watch the other person for clues.(线索）.The clues they will give you about what is really interesting to them. When you get these clues, use them to start making the conversation a bit more about their life, their opinions, and their experiences.
After you have had a couple of minutes to break the ice, try looking for ways to make the conversation a little bit more personal. Ask the other person for his or her opinion about something that is a bit more personal but not extremely so. The first few minutes of talking to someone new will not be the best time to ask the other person his or her opinion on religious（宗教的） or political（政治的） matters. However, he or she might be happy to discuss his or her favorite team or musical band.
12．In Paragraph 1, the writer mainly wants to tell us that___________.
A．curiosity can help us make a good talk
B．it’s hard to make a talk with new people
C．curiosity helps us know new people quickly
D．it’s hard to make a successful talk with others
13．The underlined word “self-conscious” in Paragraph 3 probably means_____.
A．self-centered B．self-controlled C．serious D．nervous
14．While carrying on a conversation, we should_____.
A．think about what won’t sound stupid
B．show our interests to the other person
C．try to learn more about the other person
D．discuss things like the weather in the city
15．What is the best title for the passage
A．The way of starting small talk.
B．Improving our small talk with curiosity.
C．The importance of small talk in our life.
D．Improving our relationship through small talk.

Upright stands the bamboo amid green mountains steep;
Its toothlike root in broken rock is planted deep.
It’s strong and firm though struck and beaten without rest;
Careless of the wind from north or south, east or west.
(Translated by Xu Yuanchong)
