since youre the new person, youll have acquired（獲得）celebrity status, which you can use for a couple of weeks. talk to people, remember to smile, be open and friendly, listen to what others have to say and make them feel important.as you grow older, its natural to make new friends and sometimes that means you grow apart from your old friends. so try and make time for all your friends-why not introduce your different sets of friends so you can all go to the cinema or bowling together?but what if a friendship group is leaving you out? if this is happening to you, try and ask someone youre friendly with what is happening. if the whole group is leaving you out, try to find new people to hang around with.45according to the text, moving to a new school is .ainterestingbexcitingcworryingdboring46what is the purpose of this text?ato introduce how to live in a new schoolbto show how to get used to new school lifecto encourage（鼓勵）people to get along well with friendsdto explain how to make new friends in a new school47it is suggested that when moving to a new school, you should .agrasp possible chances to communicate with othersbtry all your best to help your new classmatescsit close to a friendly classmatedstudy hard to gain others respect48if a friendship group is leaving you out, you should .aturn to your teacher for helpbtry to know the reason from one close friendchave a talk with them and find out the problemdfind new people to make friends with immediatelycthe united states is full of cars. there are still many families without cars, but some families have two or more. however, cars are used for more than pleasure. they are a necessary part of life.cars are used for business. they are driven to offices and factories by workers who have no other way to get to their jobs. when salesmen are sent to different parts of the city, they have to drive in order to carry their products. farmers have to drive into the city in order to get supplies.sometimes small children must be driven to school. in some cities school buses are used only when children live more than a mile away from the school. when the children are too young to walk too far, their mothers take turns driving them to school. one mother drives on mondays taking her own children and the neighbours as well. another mother drives on tuesdays, another on wednesday, and so on. this is called forming a car pool（拼車）. men also form car pools, with three or four men taking turns driving to the place where they all work.more car pools should be formed in order to put fewer cars on the road and use less gas. too many cars are being driven. something will have to be done about the use of cars.49the united states is filled with cars, but .anot every family has a carbfew families have two cars or even morecevery american has a cardevery family has a car50whats the main idea of the second paragraph?aworkers drive cars to offices and factoriesbsalesmen drive to carry their productscfarmers drive into cities to get suppliesdcars are widely used51mothers form car pools in order that .athey can drive to schoolbthey can take turns driving their children to schoolcthey reach school quicklydthey can drive their children to school in time52the traffic in and around cities is a great problem because .apeople put fewer cars on the roadsbthere are too many car poolsctoo many cars are being drivendthere is less gasdhow do you feel when you have to make a speech in front of class? what about when you go to a birthday party? do you get really shy?shyness（害羞）means feeling nervous or frightened when youre around other people. experts have found that more than 80 percent of middle school students feel afraid to be the center of attention. some kids are born shy. some become shy later because of their life experiences.its ok if it takes you a while to feel yourself again when you go to a new place or meet new people. in fact, everybody gets a little shy sometimes. its just a case of how much.most people have red faces and talk in broken sentences when they get shy. but some become so shy that they wont go to a restaurant because they are too nervous to order and pay for their food. some are afraid of meeting new people, so they seldom go outside. this kind of shyness can be bad for a person.if shyness doesnt stop you from doing something you want to do, being shy isnt a very big problem. some experts say shy people are cleverer because they think more and talk less. shy people are also good at working with others because they think more for other people. some great people in history were shy, too.you see, being shy isnt all bad. but remember not to let good opportunities（機會）pass by just because of it! if you have to sing a song at a birthday party or practice your spoken english in front of others, just do it! theres nothing to be afraid of.53the underlined phrase “to feel yourself again” in the third paragraph means “ ”.ato find oneself（發(fā)現(xiàn)自己）bto be oneself（做回自我）cto enjoy oneself（享受自我）dto help oneself（幫助自己）54what kind of shyness can be bad according to the passage? ayou find it hard to enjoy yourself at a partybyou feel a little nervous when you go to a new placecyou seldom go outside, afraid of meeting new peopledyou have a red face when youre asked to answer a question in class55if you have to practice your spoken english in class, .ajust do itbjust refuse to do itcyoud better ask someone to help youdtell your teacher youre too shy to do that56we can infer（推理）from the passage that .akids are all born shybyou cant change yourselfcshy people are not good at working with othersdshy people can also be successfulea city bus driver was praised as a hero after he jumped off his bus and snatched（搶奪）a 3-year-old girl from traffic. the bus safety cameras（攝像頭）showed the girl getting off the bus with a cheery “bye!” and walking straight into traffic on a busy street. chris leslie, 38, is pictured（拍照）running out the door after her. one view from the bus cameras showed a car making a rapid stop directly in front of leslie and the girl last week.“as i grabbed（抓住）her, i looked as i pulled her back and luckily the car in the next lane（車道）had stopped,” he said. “it was probably the first time in my life i was in the right place at the right time.” the girls mother was busy in the bus with another child in a stroller（折疊式嬰兒車） and the toddler didnt hear a command to wait. leslie said the mother and the daughter were still hugging at the bus stop when he drove away.leslies wife, cara, said she knew something had happened when her husband returned home from work that night. she said he immediately grabbed their 2-year-old daughter, hannah, and gave her a long hug. “he was really frightened by it all,” she said. “its pretty special,” said general manager of city utilities, john twitty. “he put his own life on the line.”leslie, an eight-year cu veteran（資深的人）, earned the driver of the year award（獎）last year. his boss, transit manager carol cruise, said the utilitys rules wont allow him to win it two years in a row（連續(xù)兩年）. “but theres no re
