Some people will do just about anything to save money. And I am one of them. Take my family’s last vacation. It was my six-year-old son’s winter break form school, and we were heading home from Fort Lauderdale after a weeklong trip. The flight was overbooked, and Delta, the airline, offered us $400 per person in credits to give up our seats and leave the next day. I had meetings in New York,So I had to get back. But that didn't mean my husband and my son couldn't stay. I took my nine-month-old and took off for home.
The next day, my husband and son were offered more credits to take an even later flight. Yes, I encouraged—okay, ordered—them to wait it out at the airport, to "earn" more Delta Dollars. Our total take: $1,600. Not bad, huh?
Now some people may think I'm a bad mother and not such a great wife either. But as a big-time bargain hunter, I know the value of a dollar. And these days, a good deal is something few of us can afford to pass up.
I've made living looking for the best deals and exposing (揭露) the worst tricks. I have been the consumer reporter of NBC's Today show for over a decade. I have written a couple of books including one titled Tricks of the Trade: A Consumer Survival Guide. And I really do what I believe in.
I tell you this because there is no shame in getting your money’s worth. I’m also tightfisted when it comes to shoes, clothes for my children, and expensive restaurants. But I wouldn't hesitate to spend on a good haircut. It keeps its shape longer, and it's the first thing people notice. And I will also spend on a classic piece of furniture. Quality lasts.
1.Why did Delta give the author's family credits?
A. They took a later flight.
B. They had early bookings.
C. Their flight had been delayed.
D. Their flight had been cancelled.
2.What can we learn about the author?
A. She rarely misses a good deal.
B. She seldom makes a compromise.
C. She is very strict with her children.
D. She is interested in cheap products.
3.What does the author do?
A. She's a teacher. B. She's a housewife.
C. She's a media person. D. She's a businesswoman.

Having a shy style isn’t necessarily a problem. It’s perfectly OK to take time to warm up new people and situations. Here are some tips for beating shy feelings.
Start small with people you know. Practice social behaviors like eye contact, confident body language, introductions, small talk, asking questions, and invitations with the people you feel most comfortable around. Smile. Build your confidence this way. 1. .
Think of some conversation starters. 2. . Think of conversation openers, like introducing yourself, giving a compliment, or asking a question. Being ready with a conversation starter (or a few) makes it easier to approach someone.
Rehearse(排練) what to say. 3. . Rehearse it out loud, maybe even in front of the mirror. Then just do it. Don’t worry if it’s not exactly like you have practiced or if it’s not perfect. Also few of the things confident people do are perfect. Next time, it’ll be better because it will be easier.
_4. . Find group activities where you can be with people who share your interests. Give yourself a chance to practice socializing (社交) with these new people, and get to know them slowly. People who are shy often worry about failing or how others will think about them. So treat yourself like your own best friend. Encourage yourself instead of expecting to fail.
Most of all, be yourself. It’s OK to try out different conversational ways you see others use. _5. . Being the real you and daring to let yourself be noticed are what attract friends.
A. It’s important to make friends.
B. Then try to do this with new friends, too.

There is an old Spanish saying which states, "Tomorrow is often the busiest day of the week." How many times have we put off our dreams until tomorrow? 1. We have to go for them now!
·Tomorrow is not promised.
Nobody likes to talk about death, but everybody is going to die at one point. None of us know the day or the hour. 2. Don't go to your tomb with unrealized dreams. Make the decision to go after every dream, big or small right now.
·3.
One of the biggest dream killers is fear. Many people could have achieved amazing things if only they weren't afraid. Just think about all the things you've wanted to do, but allowed fear to convince you that you weren't capable, or good enough. Fear is not real. It is a product of thoughts you create. Choose not to let fear stop you from achieving your dreams.
·Take action to realize your dream.
You can dream about writing a great play but it's never going to happen unless you actually put pen to paper. You can dream about finding a cure for cancer, but it will never happen unless you actually become equipped with the necessary tools to find that cure. 4.
·Possibilities are waiting on you.
There are so many amazing opportunities and people waiting on you. How do you get to them? Simple! Follow your dream. 5. You'll never see those doors if you sit around waiting on a dream to happen, instead of actually working to make it happen.
A. Don't let fear win.
B. In other words, dreams don't work unless you do.
C. Our dreams should not, and cannot wait.
D. Therefore, today is all we have.
E. You'll be much happier if you go for it.
F. You were born into the world with a unique gift, which nobody can copy.
G. Doors that you couldn't imagine open up when you go after what you want.

科目:高中英語 來源:2015年江蘇南京鹽城兩市高三一模考試英語試卷(解析版) 題型:其他題
Simon Sinek is naturally shy and doesn’t like speaking to crowds.At parties,he says he hides alone in the corner or doesn’t even show up in the first place.He prefers the latter.Yet,with some 22 million video views under his belt,the optimistic ethnographer also happens to be the third most-watched TED Talks presenter of all time.
Sinek’s unlikely success as both an inspirational speaker and a bestselling author isn’t just dumb luck.It’s the result of fears faced and erased,trial and error and tireless practice,on and off stage.Here are his secrets for delivering speeches that inspire,inform and entertain.
Don’t talk right away.
Sinek says you should never talk as you walk out on stage.“A lot of people start talking right away,and it’s out of nerves,” Sinek says.“That communicates a little bit of insecurity and fear.”
Instead,quietly walk out on stage.Then take a deep breath,find your place,wait a few seconds and begin.“I know it sounds long and tedious and it feels excruciatingly awkward when you do it,” Sinek says,“but it shows the audience you’re totally confident and in charge of the situation.”
Show up to give,not to take.
Often people give presentations to sell products or ideas,to get people to follow them on social media,buy their books or even just to like them.Sinek calls these kinds of speakers “takers,” and he says audiences can see through these people right away.And,when they do,they disengage.
“We are highly social animals,” says Sinek.“Even at a distance on stage,we can tell if you’re a giver or a taker,and people are more likely to trust a giver — a speaker that gives them value,that teaches them something new,that inspires them — than a taker.”
Speak unusually slowly.
When you get nervous,it’s not just your heart beat that quickens.Your words also tend to speed up.Luckily Sinek says audiences are more patient and forgiving than we know.
“They want you to succeed up there,but the more you rush,the more you turn them off,” he says.“If you just go quiet for a moment and take a long,deep breath,they’ll wait for you.It’s kind of amazing.”
Turn nervousness into excitement.
Sinek learned this trick from watching the Olympics.A few years ago he noticed that reporters interviewing Olympic athletes before and after competing were all asking the same question.“Were you nervous?” And all of the athletes gave the same answer: “No,I was excited. ” These competitors were taking the body’s signs of nervousness—clammy hands,pounding heart and tense nerves—and reinterpreting them as side effects of excitement and exhilaration.
When you’re up on stage you will likely go through the same thing.That’s when Sinek says you should say to yourself out loud,“I’m not nervous,I’m excited!”
Say thank you when you’re done.
Applause is a gift,and when you receive a gift,it’s only right to express how grateful you are for it.This is why Sinek always closes out his presentations with these two simple yet powerful words: thank you.
“They gave you their time,and they’re giving you their applause.” Says Sinek.“That’s a gift,and you have to be grateful.”
