10、.第二部分 阅读理解A When you meet someone for the first time, do you put across a good impression? And what do we mean by “good” in the context?

14、gth become a gift rather than a threat.”In Cuddys book she also explains some of the science that can help you spot a liar. When a person is lying there is likely to be differences between what they are saying and what they are doing, she suggests. “Lying is hard work,” she writes, “Were telling one

15、 story while suppressing another, and most of us are experiencing psychological guilt about doing this, which were also trying suppress. We just dont have the brainpower to manage it all without letting something gowithout leaking.” “Its about how well or poorly our multiple channels of communicatio

22、he only thing that was strange was the cake-here theyre not as sweet as the ones in New York. On Monday school startsI wonder what it will be like. Monday, 1 September On my first day I was looking around for a locker to put my books in. However, here all the students keep all of their books at thei

23、r desks-we stay in the same classroom because apparently we dont have to go from class to class-teachers come to us! Today we selected teacher assistants for each subject. Their duties are to collect homework, make announcements, and do other stuff for the teacher and the students. Its kind of a big

24、 deal here! Since I am from the US, I was asked to be the English assistant. I felt so proud but quite nervous at the same time because I wasnt sure what I had to do, but I accepted the job anyway. Friday, 3 October Boy, what a week! Now we have nine classes every day, including the morning class, a

25、 combination of our American schools “Homeroom” and “Study Hall”. I think Chinese students work too much! I have to do my homework when I get back home.

30、e same place you started. Allow me to suggest some tips that may help you stick to your decisions creating long lasting positive change in your life.Telling other people about your plan can help in many ways. First, it is always easier to stick to a decision when you have other people supporting you

31、. Your friends are less likely to tempt you with whatever it is you are trying to control if they know that you made a decision about it. Telling other people about your decision is also helpful in that it keeps us to the pressure on you to try and stick to you plan of action.Choose a measurable and
