emotions and physical movements will directly influence your success. Staying focused on the task
at hand can be easier said than done. Here are some powerful techniques that can help you improve
your ability to focus.

gain better command of your body, and even goes beyond the body, giving you more flexibility not
just physically but also emotionally and mentally. When you feel more comfortable in your body,
you increase your selfconfidence, which helps you feel more relaxed.
For mental control, meditation (沉思；冥想) does the task. __3__ It"s easy to get distracted

When you relax your thoughts it trains your mind to deal effectively with outside distractions so you
can stay centered on what matters most at the moment.
__4__ It prevents you from overreaction and also from overacting. When your emotions settle
down, you gain greater awareness of the environment you"re in, and feel calm and in control.
__5__ The good thing is that selfcontrol can be developed. Start exercising frequently, get yourself
into meditation, and start to feel positive changes in your career and your life in general.
A. In short, focus requires selfcontrol.
B. There are many benefits of exercising.
C. Generally speaking, you need to practise a lot.
D. There are still some disadvantages of exercises.

probably received more study and attracted more attention than any other. Politicians winning an
election, salespeople presenting products and etc. All depend upon this form of public communication.
Even people who do not make speaking a part of their daily work are often asked to make public
speeches: students at graduation, for instance, or members of churches, clubs or other organizations.
Nearly everyone speaks in public at some time or other, and those who perform the task well often
become leaders.
There are many reasons for speaking in public. A public speaker may hope to teach an audience
about new ideas, or provide information about some topic. Creating a good feeling or entertaining an
audience may be another purpose. Public speakers, however, most often seek to persuade an audience
to accept new opinions, to take certain actions, or to see the world in a new way.
Public speakers usually know well in advance when they are scheduled to make a speech.
Consequently, they are able to prepare their message before they deliver it. Sometimes, though,
speakers must deliver the message unprepared, or off the cuff, such as when they are asked to speak
at a wedding reception or to participate in an interview.
When they do not have to speak unprepared, most speakers write their own speeches. Politicians
and business managers sometimes employ professional writers who prepare their speeches for them.
These professional writers may work alone or in small teams. Although the speaker may have some
ideas into the contents of the speech, the writers sometimes have a great influence over the opinions
expressed by their employers. Regardless of how a speech is prepared, the person who delivers it is
given credit for its effect upon its hearers.
B. most of them have been audience of such activities
C. most of them have to do it when they study at college
D. the passage does not mention the reason
B. To persuade the audience to accept an idea.
C. To enjoy the satisfaction from one"s own speech.
D. To develop public interest.
B. know very well whom the speaker is
C. know whose idea the speech really expresses
D. believe it expresses the speaker"s idea

Most drinks stating that they are fruitflavored (水果味道的) contain no fruit at all, while most of the
rest contain only a small quantity of fruit, according to a study carried by the British Food Commission.
"Shoppers need to check the labels (标签) before buying drinks, though sometimes the actual content
can be nonexistent," said Food Commission spokesperson Ian Tokelove. "Food production is highly
competitive. __1__ It will increase profits, and consumers won"t always realize they are being tricked."
Flavorings are focused on the flavors of natural food products such as fruits, meats and vegetables,
or creating flavor for food products that do not have the desired flavors. Researchers analyzed the
contents of 28 strawberryflavored products sold in stores. __2__ Of the 11 products that did contain
strawberries, five of them contained less than one percent real fruit. In addition, each juice box
contained nearly eight teaspoons of sugar.
__3__ Let"s take jam as an example. Some strawberryflavored jam was labeled as containing no
artificial colors, flavors, or sweeteners, but it contained absolutely no strawberries at all.
__4__ Consumers have the rights to know clearly about what they have bought. Under current
UK law, food packages do not have to distinguish between natural and artificial flavoring. "Describing
a product as strawberry flavor and covering the surface of the packet with pictures of strawberries is
misleading. __ 5 Unfortunately, it is also legal and widespread," Tokelove said. "It"s time to take
measures to protect the consumers" rights."
A. The products which contain real fruit are popular with people.
B. Even products advertised as more natural often contained no fruit.
C. They found that about 60 percent of them didn"t contain any fruit at all.
D. If companies can cut their costs by using flavoring, they are likely to do so.
E. It is important and necessary to demand a small amount of flavoring in the products.
F. Actually the product contains just a tiny percentage of strawberry or even no fruit at all.
G. The Food Commission suggested all flavors used in a product should be listed on the packaging.
According to psychologists (心理学家), it is much more serious than simply deciding between
a soap opera and a sports program, or between pop music and politics. This television conflict
is part of a bigger power game which goes on in homes, even though most of the players do not
realize that they are playing a game at all. "It"s such a game as is not easy to notice," says
psychologist Dr David Lewis, "that many people don"t even know they"re playing it."
Unconsciously, people begin to play the game as soon as they meet their future husband or
wife. By the time the couple get married, the rules of game are already formed. The big decision,
like where to live and which school to send the children to, are usually joint decision. When it
comes to less important things, it"s a different matter. Here is just one example of this process at
work. A husband looks through a pile of holiday brochures (小册子) and announces his preference:
"The South of France". And his wife quickly agrees before he realizes that the only brochures she
gave him were those for the South of France. Similarly, she may decide on how the home should
be decorated, but he chooses the new car and decides what the family does at weekends.
"Family power struggles are interesting," says Dr Lewis. "Of course, some people are naturally
more dominant (占支配地位的) than others, and the most dominant personality in a family tries
to lead. These days, even though so many couples make a special effort to have a true and equal
partnership, men generally have a greater need to appear to be in physical control. Women, on
the other hand, are not so interested in physical control as in emotional control. On the whole,
they"re more controlling and can make the man think of something as his idea in the first place."
B. It"s an interesting game a family likes to play.
C. It"s difficult to choose with so many programs.
D. It"s a matter of power in a family.
B. Where to settle down.
C. What kind of car to buy.
D. What to do at weekends.
B. Men are much better controlled than women.
C. Women are rather skillful in influencing men.
D. Women are emotional about important matters.
B. Whose finger is on the button at home.
C. How family members play games at home.
D. What decision family members make together.
way of opportunity for promotion, happiness and security. As a result, they are employed in doing
jobs that afford them little or no satisfaction.
Our school leavers face so much competition that they seldom care what they do as long as they
can earn a living. Some stay long at a job and learn to like it; others leave one for another looking for
something to suit them. The young graduates who leave the university look for jobs that offer a salary
up to their expectation.
Very few go out into the world knowing exactly what they want and realizing their own abilities.
The reason behind all this confusion is that there never has been a proper vocational (职业的)
guidance in our educational institution. Nearly allfeel their way in the dark. Their chief concern when
they lookfor a job is to ask what salary is like. They never bother tothink whether they are suited for
the job or, even more important, whether the job suits them. Having a job is more thanmerely providing
yourself and your dependants (受赡养者)with daily bread and some money for leisure and
entertainment.It sets a pattern of life and, in many ways, determines social status in life, selection of
friends, leisure and interest.
In choosing a profession you should first consider the type of work which will suit your interest.
Nothing is more sad than taking on a job in which you have no interest, for it will not only ruin your
talents but also discourage your desire to succeed in life.
B. they are not well trained
C. it is difficult to get employed

C. the young people only care about how much they can earn

C. Your job must offer you a high salary.
