Ⅱ.阅读理解
You wake up in the morning，the day is beautiful and the plans for the day are what you have been looking forward to for a long time.Then the telephone rings，you say hello，and the drama starts.The person on the other end has a depressing tone in his voice as he starts to tell you how terrible his morning is and that there is nothing to look forward to.You are still in a wonderful mood? Impossible!
Communicating with negative people can wash out your happiness.It may not change what you think，but communicating long enough with them will make you feel depressed for a moment or a long time.
Life brings ups and downs，but some people are stuck in the wrong idea that life has no happiness to offer.They only feel glad when they make others feel bad.No wonder they can hardly win others’ pity or respect.
When you communicate with positive people，your spirit stays happy and therefore more positive things are attracted.When the dagger(匕首) of a negative person is put in you，you feel the heavy feeling that all in all，brings you down.
Sometimes we have no choice but to communicate with negative people.This could be a co-worker，or a relative.In this case，say what needs to be said as little as possible.Sometimes it feels good to let out your anger back to the negative person，but all this does is to lower you to that same negative level and they won’t feel ashamed of themselves about that.
Negativity often affects happiness without even being realized.The negative words of another at the start of the day can cling to(附着) you throughout the rest of your day，which makes you feel bad and steals your happiness.Life is too short to feel negative.Stay positive and avoid negativity as much as possible.

Ⅲ.微写作
写作素材
1．我做笔记有困难也不知道如何使用词典。
2．有人告诉我学习中心向学生提供帮助。
3．我也急切地想得到你们的帮助。
(素材来源于2011·新课标全国·书面表达)
提示：尽量使用高级表达：have trouble in doing；疑问词＋不定式的用法；宾语从句等。
连句成篇(将以上句子连成一篇50词左右的英语短文)
I have some trouble in note-taking and I have no idea how to use a dictionary.I was told that the Learning Center provides help for students and I’m anxious to get help from you.
1．cling v．抓住；坚持；粘着 cling to坚持

3．let out发出；泄露 let alone更不用提 let go of松开
let down使失望
4．in this case在这种情况下 in case以防…… in case of以防万一 in no case决不
5．The person on the other end has a depressing tone in his voice as he starts to tell you how terrible his morning is and that there is nothing to look forward to.
句中as引导时间状语从句，在该从句中动词tell后面跟了两个宾语从句：how_terrible_his_morning_is和that_there_is_nothing_to_look_forward_to。
在完形填空中，如何处理一句两空题？
沉着应对，先易后难，寻觅信息
在做完形填空时，遇到一句话中有两个空，首先要把这句话看完，在两处同时试填，根据上下文的关系，找到一个你认为比较确定的选项，先把一空填上，然后再把剩下的一空补全。如果无法把这个空马上补上，也不要急于选择，要接着往下读，然后，再回过头来看是否可以确定答案，这时你已经掌握了较全面的信息，有助于前面空格处答案的确定。最后，根据上下文的逻辑关系、习惯搭配、语法知识等方面的要求，把所缺的空补全。如本节完形填空中的But __8__ he could not shut __9__ the noise，finally，after __10__ seemed hours，his __11__ was gone.
8．A.till then
B．worse still
C．strange enough
D．even so
9．A.away
B．off
C．down
D．up
10．A.it
B．what
C．that
D．which
11．A.sleep
B．strength
C．patience
D．anger
第10空考查语法，after为介词，后为宾语从句，缺少主语，故填入what。第8空考查语境，even so即使把头埋在枕头下面。第9空考查固定短语shut off，意为“切断，使隔绝”。第11空在他试了几种方法后依然受到噪音的干扰不能入睡，最后失去了耐心，故填patience。
