You are one of the most familiar faces in class, not because you are funny or have great note-taking abilities but because you ask the most number of questions.   76    It is important to ask the right questions, though. Here are a few tips for improving your questioning skills:
Be clear and precise about what you want to know.
Be clear about what you want to know and frame your question accordingly.   77     If you beat around the bush, your teachers won’t be entirely sure what it is that you haven’t understood, or need an explanation for.
78    
If you are uncertain about a particular subject, clarify it when it is being discussed. Because questions often open up new avenues within a subject. Doing this would benefit the whole class.
Do not hesitate to talk to your teacher after class.
79     Therefore, if you feel uncomfortable about asking a question in front of your classmates, wait till the class is over. This will probably put you more at ease.
Write down your questions.
80     They may appear when you’re studying, reading or taking notes. Note them down on a piece of paper so that you won’t forget to ask them later. This can also make sure that you don’t have any unanswered questions when the exam approaches.
A.Do not ask more questions.
B.Questions may crop up(出現(xiàn))at any time.
C.Being curious is not a bad quality.
D.You may think this is good.
E. Ask questions relevant to context.
F. A question needs to be easy to be understood and to-the-point.
G. One-to-one interations(互動(dòng)) are always much better than one-to-many.

Would you believe that the first outstanding deaf teacher in America was a Frenchman? His name was Laurent Clerc. He became a friend of Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet and together they founded America' s first school for the deaf,
Laurent Clerc was born in a small village near Lyons, France, on December 26, 1785. When he Was one year old, he fell into a fire, losing both his hearing and his sense of smell.
At 12, Laurent entered the Royal Institution for the Deaf in Paris where he excelled in his studies. After he graduated, the school asked him to stay on as an assistant teacher.
Meanwhile, in America, Thomas Hopkins Gallandet was studying to be a minister. He was very concerned about the lack of educational opportunities for the deaf. Therefore, in 1815, Gallaudet sailed to London, England to seek ideas on how to teach deaf people. While he was there, he met a French educator of the deaf who invited him to go to Paris to spend three months learning at the Royal Institution for the Deaf, the school where Laurent Clerc was teaching. Gallaudet accepted the offer. The two worked and studied well together. When the time came for Gallaudet to return, he asked Clerc to come with him. Clerc accepted on one condition: that he would stay in America only a short time.
The two men set sail on June 18, 1816. The voyage across the Atlantic Ocean took 52 days; however, Clerc and Gallaudet put the time to good use. Clerc studied English, and Gallaudet studied sign language. They discussed the school for the deaf which they planned to open. On the long trip, they had many conversations about education and deafness. The year after they arrived, they founded a school for the deaf in Harford, Connecticut.
At the school, Clerc led a busy life. He taught signs to Principal Gallaudet; he taught the pupils; and he taught hearing men who came to the school to study deaf education.
In 1819, Clerc married Eliza Crocker Boardman, one of his pupils. They had six children. He retired from teaching in 1858. Although he had intended to return to France, he never did. He died on July 18, 1869 in the United States.

A. He needed to finish his studies to become a minister.
B. It was the easiest way to get to France.

In February 2006, Lydia Angyiou and her two sons were walking through their village in northern Canada.The sound of children shouting made her turn around.To her horror, Lydia saw  a 700-pound polar bear behind her eyeing her seven-year-old son.Getting between the bear and her child, Lydia yelled at the children to run away.She then began hitting and kicking the animal as hard as she could.A neighbor who heard all the noise came and shot the bear.But everyone agreed it was Lydia who had saved her children's lives.A local policeman described it this way: “…I guess when your back is up against the wall…we come up with super-human strength.”
Where does this “super-human strength”,courage and quick thinking come from? Experts say it comes from stress! In stressful situations, the body releases chemicals that prepare it to take action.These chemicals give people the speed and strength they need to fight danger or run away from it.
When we think of stress, we usually think of its negative effects.Studies, though, show that moderate levels of stress are actually helpful.In fact, the way we perform is usually affected by the amount of stress we feel.
Stress causes the brain to release adrenaline(腎上腺素)which in turn increases our energy and excitement.The chemical gives us clearer minds and helps us to do more.This is why some people say they work better under a deadline.
Adrenaline that is not released for long periods of time can cause us to increase and strengthen our abilities instead of weakening them.We sometimes turn out our very best work when we push ourselves to the limit.Stress can also make us more confident.Handling small amounts of stress now prepares us for handling serious situations in the future.Who knows? Today's stress may even prepare for the next polar bear that comes along!
小題1:In the first paragraph, the case of Lydia Angyiou is mentioned to ______.
A.introduce the topic to be followed
B.praise Lydia Angyiou for her bravery
C.remind us of the unexpected danger of life
D.show the importance of super-human strength
小題2:What does the policeman probably mean by saying "your back is up against the wall"?
A.You are helped.B.You are inspired.
C.You are confident.D.You are cornered.
小題3:What would be the best title for the passage?
A.Brave MotherB.The Cause of Stress
C.The Benefit of StressD.Super-human Strength

Friends play an important part in our lives,and although we may take the fact of friendship for granted, we often don’t clearly understand how we make friends. While we get on well with a number of people,   71 .
Moreover, a great many relationships come under the general term “friendship”.In all cases,two people like one another and enjoy being together,but beyond that,the degree of closeness between them and the reasons for their interest in each other change greatly.
At the beginning, much depends on how people meet,and on good first impressions. As we
get to know people,   72  . Although these factors are not of the greatest importance,it is more
difficult to have a good relationship with people when there is a big difference in age and background.
Then,   73 .Friends will stand closer together and will spend more time looking at each other than ordinary friends.Smiles and soft voices also express friendliness,and it is because they may give the wrong signals that shy people often have difficulty making friends. A friendly look with a wrong facial expression can turn into an unfriendly stare,and nervousness may be wrongly understood as unfriendliness.
Some relationships are a result of argument and discussion,but it is usual for close friends to have the same ideas and beliefs,the same opinion and interests. The more closely involved people become.the more they depend on each other. And   74  . Equally, friends have to learn to make allowances for each other, to put up with annoying habits,and to accept differences in opinion.
In contrast with marriage,   75  . But the support and understanding that results from shared experiences and affections does seem to create a close and lasting relationship
A.we are usually friends with only a few
B.many factors can affect friendship and relationship
C.people want to do friends favors and hate to let them down
D.a(chǎn)rgument and discussion can improve personal relationships
E.we consider things like age,race,looks,economic and social status,etc
F.we pay attention to actual behavior,facial expression,and the way a person speaks
G.there are no friendship ceremonies to strengthen the relationship between two people
