     Your voice is the only means of communicating over the telephone. Even so, watch your body language
and facial expressions-they affect the way you sound. If you are sleepy, for example, you often will sound
tired or breathless. To keep a healthy and bright tone (音調(diào)) in your voice, smile when talking on a phone.
     Don't answer the phone in a rush. Take a deep breath, and then breathe out slowly as you pick up the
receiver. You will sound more relaxed. If you recognize the other person' s voice, use his/her name on your
greeting. Use it again during the conversation and when parting. When making a difficult call, work out exactly what you wish to say. Stand while making the call-it will help you sound more confident.
     Get fairly quickly to the point-"The reason I' m calling is..."Try to drop the pitch (音高) of your voice at
the ends of sentences-it will help you be more sure about what you said.
     If you know somebody wants to talk a lot, make it clear at the start of the call that you have only a little
time. There are several ways of making a call short:" It ' s been lovely talking to you, but I really must go
now." or" I know you are quite busy, so I better go now."If all fails, try," My other line is ringing. Or"I think
there' s someone at the door."
     When leaving a message on someone s answering machine, speak clearly and slowly to allow the person to
take down any details as your message plays back. Many people feel uneasy with answering machines. Again,
form a picture of the other person in your mind, and you will sound more relaxed.
     With the increasing use of tele-communication and mobile phones, it has become of great importance that
we pay special attention to HOW and WHAT we speak on the phones.
1. In Paragraph 1, the author suggests paying attention to your  _____.
A. voice
B. body language
C. tone
D. health
2. What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. The phone.
B. The receiver.
C. The name.
D. The greeting.
3. The author supports his idea in Paragraph 4 through _____ .
A. experiments
B. explanations
C. stories
D. examples
4.  What would be the best title for this passage?
A. Talking on a Phone
B. Keep Your Voice Sweet
C. Voice and Body Language
D. Body Language is Important

     注意：每個空格1個單詞。
                                                          Searching for the Truth
     Collecting and writing news is like researching in history: the best information comes from those who were
there at the time. So if we want to study the history of China in the sixth century AD, we look at the writings of the people who lived then. They are called the primary sources because they tell us what it was like to live then. People at a much later date who write about the same events are called the secondary sources. For example,
when we read the original writings of Jia Sixie on agriculture, we are reading a primary source; when we read
about Jia Sixie in our textbook we are reading a secondary source because the passage was written about him
and his ideas many years after he died.
     When we make news we use primary and secondary sources. We can see this most clearly in TV
programmes. As we watch the news on TV, the person presenting the programme in the studio is the
secondary source ( because he tells us about the news) and the reporter in Iraq or Washington is the primary
source ( because he is telling us about what is actually happening there). Without these reporters acting as
primary sources, you would never find out what really happened in a war, earthquake, sports meeting, concert
or festival. These reporters explain what is happening so we have a clearer idea of what is going on there. They often take photographers with them who act as primary source by giving pictures of events. In a newspaper
the position is different because these two roles are often combined. This means a reporter who investigates a
story may be the same person who writes it. If this happens, the reporter is both the primary and the secondary source. But the photographer who works with him/her is still a primary source.
      One of the reasons that it is important to separate primary and secondary sources is that they help us to
decide what is a fact and what is an opinion. A fact is something that everybody agrees has happened. An
opinion is somebody's idea of what happened. So facts and opinions are often mixed in any report, whether in
a newspaper or on TV.
     What have you learnt from the above passage?
Primary source Primary sources are the writings of the people who lived at   1   time and offered an
inside view of a particular event.
Secondary source Secondary sources are the writings of the people who write about the same events
at a much later date with explanation and analysis   2   on primary sources.
News on TV The TV  3  in the studio is the secondary source while the reporter on the   4   is the
primary source.
News in a newspaper A newspaper reporter can be both primary and secondary source if he collects
the information and then   5   the news. But the photographer   6   with the
reporter is always a primary source.
Fact A fact is something that everybody agrees has happened. In other   7    , it is
something that is   8   .
Opinion An opinion is somebody's idea of what   9   on.
Conclusion Primary and secondary sources are both important for  10  the truth.

     Americans, generally speaking, make an effort to be friendly with their colleagues, neighbours and other
people they often run into. This often takes the form of a simple greeting like "How's it going?" or "What's up?"
This is simply a way of saying I see you and I recognize you.
     Americans also show this friendliness in "small talk". Small talk is a casual conversation that Americans
engage in when they meet on the street, in the shop or in the office before a meeting. Usually the topics of
such small talk will be something that everyone is familiar with, the weather, sports, traffic, hobbies or what's
on television. The topic of the conversation is not as important as the effort make to spend a few minutes with
the other person. Small talk shows that you are a considerate person who is interested in others and who is
willing to take the time to get to know people.
     Small talk is used in the business world to create a friendly atmosphere and to put everyone at ease before
the serious matters of business are discussed. Often businessmen will spend a few minutes talking about the
weather or sports before a meeting. This form of small talk only lasts a few minutes before the American
businessman wants to "get down to business."
     Asians are very skilled at making casual conversation. However, they often find it difficult to make small
talk with Americans because they don't know what to say, how to say it and who to say it to. Americans may
see Asians who are reluctant to make small talk as unfriendly and cold.
1. American people ask others how it is going because _____.

A. they are curious about others' affairs
B. they are eager to help others
C. they want to start a long conversation
D. they only want to show their kindness

2. Businessmen talk about weather before a meeting _____.
[     ]
A. so that everyone present will feel relaxed
B. in order that everyone will be warned against the possible bad weather
C. because weather is very important to American people
D. in order to make people fresh
3. The word "reluctant" means _____.
[     ]
A. willing
B. eager
C. unwilling
D. skilled
4. Which of the following is not true according to the passage?
[     ]
A. You should keep the conversation short.
B. Asians are not friendly and don't like to talk with others.
C. "To get down to business" means to start the work.
D. The topics of the small talk are not very important.

     Everyone has an ambition (志向) to travel. But those who cannot do so themselves might find it interesting
to work in a travel agency (旅行社), arranging journeys for other people. Brain Lawley does this, working in
a small travel agency in an industrial city. Most of his work is concerned (有關(guān)) with holidays, both at home
and abroad. Every autumn, the agency sends out hundreds of booklets (小冊子)full of attractive coloured
photographs, describing the holidays that their customers will be able to have next year. Soon people begin to
come into the office to book their holidays: perhaps a week's skiing in Austria in January, perhaps a cruise (巡
游) to the Caribbean in February, perhaps a seaside holiday in Spain in May, or a tour to North Africa, Brain
often has to advise people on what holidays will be suitable for them, and they always have a lot of questions.
Last year, for example, a lady of eighty-two wanted to book for a mountaineering (登山) holiday in the Alps,
and Brain had great difficulty in persuading her that it would not be suitable. In the end, she decided to go for
a Mediterranean cruise instead. 
     Arranging journeys for people who have to travel abroad on business is often very complicated (復(fù)雜), but
Brain enjoys this work. For example, last spring Mr.Perry, a director of a local chemical firm, went on a
business trip, and Brain arranged it all for him. First, Mr.Perry traveled to London by train, and stayed overnight
in a hotel near the airport, because his plane left nearly the next morning. He flew to Frankfurt, in Germany,
where he spent the morning discussing business. Then he went on by train to Zurich, where he stayed the
night. After a meeting the next morning, he caught a plane for Tokyo, and spent three days there before going
to America. He had business in Seattle, Chicago and New York, and stayed some time in each of those places.
From New York, he flew back to London and then went home by train. The next day he telephoned the agency
to thank Brain for arranging everything so well for him.
1. Who would like to work in travel agency?
[     ]
A. People who live an industrial city.
B. People who would like to travel but cannot.
C. Ambitions people.
D. The people who go on holidays abroad.
2. When do customers come into the office to book their holidays?
[     ]
A. Early in the morning.
B. Every year.
C. In January.
D. Shortly after receiving the booklet.
3. Mr. Perry telephoned the agency to thank Brain because _____.
[     ]
A. Mr. Perry arranged everything so well for Brain
B. Brain arranged everything so well for him
C. the agency sent Mr. Perry abroad on business
D. Brain helped him in the travel agency
4. How was Mr. Perry's journey arranged?
    a. Fly to Tokyo              b. To Frankfurt                c. Back home by train
    d. Fly back to London    e. To Zurich by train
    f. Have business in Seattle, Chicago and New York  g. To London by train
