Hi Maz and Bobby,

I don't know what you're up to this Sunday, but if you're at a loose end, come over to my place. We're going to have a barbecue.

Tom

Hi Tom,

Thanks mate, but I'm completely snowed under at the moment. I have to write an essay by Monday afternoon, so I'll be working all weekend. I've got nothing arranged for the following weekend though, so maybe we can meet then? I'll call you later.

Bobby

Dear Tom,

Like Bobby, I'm a bit tied up tomorrow. Unfortunately, I have to go to my great uncle's house for a family lunch. He was ill so we thought it might not happen, but it looks as if it's going ahead. I really can't get out of it because it's the old man's 60th birthday and most of the family will probably be there.

Maz

Ok you guys,

I'm calling off the barbecue. Judging from the grey sky, it's going to rain all weekend anyway. Maybe you'll have done your various duties by the end of the evening and we can go for a drink instead! If you want to relax, I'll be in The Hart, a pub on King Street. Gloria and I are meeting there at about 8:30, as long as nothing else pops up! Don't forget it closes at 10:30 on Sundays.

Ok, time to put my feet up and take it easy!

Later,

Tom

3.One of my main concerns when I am helping people achieve their goals is how they measure success.I see individuals getting frustrated as they struggle hard for success.
One of the main reasons that cause this frustration is that people allow their definition of success to be determined by someone or something else.Another is that they become frustrated at their own apparent lack of success when comparing themselves to other people.
We are individuals with individual wants,skills and experiences.We should look at our own skills to determine what is successful to us.We should look inwards to determine what it would mean for us to be successful in our own mind rather than someone else's.
Evaluating a successful person needs to look at his pathway to success,his actions,his determination and translate that into his own experience to see how he can improve himself.
You must set your own course of action,and stay on your course.You alone must determine what success means to you.Do what you do to the best of your ability and the rest will take care of itself.For example,I believe that I am successful but I am not a millionaire!Others may not see me as successful in their eyes but that does not matter.It is how I see myself that is important to me and my life.
Here is the truth.Being a success is doing your best,not being the best.Success is not something you become; it is something you continue being.
When we get to that point,we will experience a lot more joy and a lot less frustration.And that sounds good to us!
Remember the great quote from Napoleon Hill,"If you cannot do great things,do small things in a great way."
25.What's the best title of this passage?C
A.Frustration Determines Success
B.The Importance of Frustration to Success
C.How to Measure Success
D.Evaluations of a Successful Person
26.In terms of success,the writer thinks people feel frustrated because theyD
A.struggle too hard               
B.know little about others
C.are often discouraged          
D.underestimate themselves
27.According to the passage the writer advises us toC.
A.attach the importance to others'attitude and evaluation
B.learn from others,failure
C.set a proper goal and work hard to realize it
D.look at others'skills to determine what is successful to us.

With the cold weather season rapidly approaching, caring for dry skin may become more challenging. Here are some tips on how to protect your skin and keep it healthy throughout the colder months of the year.

1.

Avoid harsh(刺激性的) cleansers containing sulfates or alcohol, and choose a gentle cleanser. Harsh cleansers may disrupt the PH balance of your skin and cause dryness.

Switch to a face oil

2. In order to avoid dryness, rub about 3 to 5 drops of oil the palm of your hands and then gently pat it into the skin. Face oils offer the benefit of conditioning the skin and protecting it from the cold air.

Exfoliate(去死皮)

Exfoliating is very important because it helps to get rid of dead skin cells and encourages skin cell renewal. 3. However, especially when the skin is feeling extra dry, it is important to use a gentle product and not to overdo it.

4.

If you don’t feel thirsty and struggle with taking in enough liquids, try to drink tea, sweetened with a little raw honey. Dehydrated skin cells have a slower turnover rate, which results in dull skin and more visible fine lines.

5. The most advantage is that you will spend the cold season with comfort and confidence.

A. Drink plenty of water

B. Eat homemade soups

C. Use mild facial cleansers

D. Follow the above tips, you may own nice skin and look better.

E. Here are three of the most common example of skin discomfort.

F. After cleansing your face, your skin still takes the risk of dryness.

G. Moreover, dead skin cells won’t allow your face oil to enter the skin deeply.

"It's hard for parents to bring up their children,(63)but many students just ignore it,"said Liu Kang,the school's director."They should (64)be taught (teach) to be grateful to their parents,who have given them life but ask for nothing in return."

10.How Many Lies Do the Children Tell You?
Mothers who feel their children don't appreciate them can add another grievance to the list half the time,their children are lying to them.A study designed to expose the truth about lying shows that undergraduates lie to their mothers in 46% of their conversations.Still,mums should feel better than total strangers,who are told lies an astonishing 77% of the time.
Bella Depaulo and a team of psychologists from the University of Virginia,Charlottesville,asked 77undergraduates to keep a record of all their conversations for a week,and write down whether they lied at any time.DePaulo named lying broadly,as"when you intentionally try to mislead someone",so she would catch the smallest of lies.
The students told an average of two lies a day.They said they had been studying when they had been out drinking.One told his parents that a textbook cost 50ratherthan20so that they would send him extra money.Female students constantly told their plainlooking roommates that they were pretty."They are everyday lies,"says DePaulo.
DePaulo and her colleagues conclude that people tend to tell fewer lies to those they feel closest to.College students lied to their best friends 28% of the time but lied to acquaintances 48% of the time.In close relationships,people were more likely to tell"kindhearted"lies,designed to protect feelings,rather than selfserving lies.
Romantic(浪漫的) partners lie somewhere between close friends and acquaintances.Students lied to romantic partners about a third of the time.DePaulo thinks that unmarried lovers can expect less honesty than best friends because of the insecurity that comes with romance.
Mothers can take heart from one other finding.They may have been lied to,but at least their children talked to them.The students were recorded telling few lies to their fathers because they had little interaction with them.

32.What is the meaning of the underlined word"grievance"in Paragraph 1?C
A.Belief.
B.Opinion.
C.Complaint.
D.Difficulty.

B.best friends
C.acquaintances   
D.romantic partners
34.Female students lied to their roommates toD.
A.get money from them   
B.offer them the services
C.gain more security   
D.make them happy
35.What is the purpose of this article?A
