Do you have a hard time saying no to others? Do you say "yes" when you really mean no? You're not alone. Many people end up saying "yes" to something they don't really want to do for several reasons. It is necessary to learn how to say "no".

"I'm sorry. I just don't have the time at the moment."1.After all, your own work comes first. The other person will understand, especially if they also have a busy job.

"I don't think I'm the best person to help you out. Why don't you try...?" If you think you can't be of any help then simply say no. 2.Recommend that person instead. This is a good one to use at work.

"Let me get back to you." Sometimes you first have to check your schedule before you can make a promise. 3. This will waste the other person's time, which could have been spent finding someone else who would say yes.

"I would rather refuse than say sorry later." 4.The other person will appreciate your honesty. You could even say, "I'd rather say no now than I'm sorry later." However, you must never offer to do something in the future if you don't mean it. This will turn out to be much worse than simply saying no in the first place.

"No". This is the simplest and most direct way. Simply say "no". 5.We spend so much time thinking of good excuses when being direct is often the simplest and best way.

A. There is no doubt you have said no a few times.

B. If you are too busy then let the other person know.

C. There is no need to add any derails unless asked for.

D. You might be asked to do something when you are busy.

E. Maybe you know someone else who would be better suited for the task.

F. When you know you won't be able to do the best job you can, simply say so.

G. But it's not a good idea to say this when you really mean no in the first place.

【廣西玉林市、貴港市2017屆高中畢業(yè)班質(zhì)量檢測】D

While dog keepers realize their dogs can read their moods accurately,scientists have always been a little doubtful.Now thanks to some researchers at the University of Veterinary Medicine in Vienna,Austria,we finally have some convincing evidence.

For their study, biologist Corson Miller and his team exposed eleven selected dogs to digital images of women that were either angry or happy. Half the dogs were rewarded for touching the screen when shown a happy face, while the other half got their treat for selecting those that appeared angry.

Interestingly, the dogs were not provided with the entire face. Some dogs were shown only upper halves while the others observed lower halves. That’s because the scientists believe humans show their emotions on their entire face.

After some training like how to recognize small differences like the wrinkles between the eyes or the changes in their shape that accompany the happy or angry expressions, the dogs were mostly able to identify the correct expression not only on a familiar face but on a strange face. The researchers concluded the dogs were smart enough to read human emotions.

They also found those being trained to read angry expressions took a longer time to learn. They guess it may be because dogs find angry faces disgusting, causing them to withdraw quickly. However, once the smart dogs realized they were getting rewarded, the trepidation seemed to disappear. In fact, the dogs had such a good time playing the computer "game" that scientists had a hard time keeping them away from the touch screens after the study was completed.

The researchers also noticed only dogs with a male owner had a harder time understanding the expressions correctly. Since the touchscreen models were all females, this confirmed what has been observed in previous studies-dogs are more efficient at reading facial expressions of people that are the same gender as their owner.

1.How did the scientists conduct the experiment?

A. By mixing the selected dogs together.

B. By leaving dogs to women who are either happy or angry.

C. By showing digital pictures of women’s happy or angry faces.

D. By rewarding only half of the dogs touching the screen.

2.Which of the following statements is TRUE about the dogs in the study?

A. The dogs were not all provided with the entire face.

B. The dogs couldn’t read strangers facial emotions.

C. According to their size,the dogs were given either upper or lower halves.

D. The dogs could make out small changes accompanying facial expressions.

3.The underlined word "trepidation" in Paragraph 5 probably means .

A. curiosity B. horror C. excitement D. doubt

4.How might the results change if the dogs with female owners are shown pictures of male faces?

A. They would be scared away at the sight of the pictures.

B. They found it easy to tell the emotions on the entire face.

C. They could only tell emotions on partial faces rather than on entire faces.

D. They found it hard to tell the moods on the faces of a different gender.

Off the coast of Hong Kong, there are numerous beautiful places that have long stay hidden, just waiting to be discovered by travelers. We’ve done the hunting for you.

Tap Mun

Located north of the Sai Kung island, Tap Mun is home to a remote fishing, community with a population of less than a hundred. Tap Mun is also widely known as Grass Island, and it’s easy to see why — this 1.7sq km island is an expense of grassy hill populated by wandering cows, a perfect scene to set a milk advertisement.

Tap Mun is highly sought after as a spot for both camping and kite-flying, while also boasting several rocky beaches. For a relaxing afternoon, take a walk along the 2km footpath and slowly take in the panoramic(全景的) 360-degree view while enjoying the cool breeze.

Tung Ping Chau

For a rugged(崎嶇的) island getaway, set off for a trip to Tung Ping Chau — an offshore island sitting in splendid isolation in Mirs Bay on the northeastern side of Hong Kong. As a part of the Hong Kong Geopark, Tung Ping Chau is among the eight sites specially chosen for conservation in light of its special geological significance. Its rich marine life also led to its designation(指定) as one of Hong Kong’s four marine parks.

Po Toi

Located just three kilometers away from Hong Kong Island’s southeastern tip, Po Toi is a quiet place that will make you feel completely isolated from modern life. While just a stone’s throw away from the busy life of Hong Kong, Po Toi seems to be miles away from the busy city life.

Take a leisurely stroll (閑逛) along the main path on the island, as you approach a lighthouse located on the sides of the cliff. Along the way, do not miss the dramatic and unusual rock formations as you are amazed by the glory of the famous Turtle Climbing up the Mountain, Monk Rock, and Palm Cliff.

1.Which of the following is NOT true about Tap Mun?

A. It is located close to southeastern HongKong.
