Have you ever heard the phrase You never get a second chance to make a first impression (印象) It may sound like an unusual piece of advice but it is true the first impression someone has of you when meeting you for the first time will probably influence how that person treats you or reacts to you in the future
What is even more interesting is that the brain takes in all the information to create that first impression in about three seconds When you meet someone for the first time by the time you have stated your name or shaken hands the other person has already formed an opinion about the kind of person you are
So how do you make a good first impression All things grownups tell you such as being polite and being welldressed are very important However the most important tool for making a good first impression is your face Smiling being responsive and looking like you are happy will almost always leave a positive ( 积极) impression on people especially those who do not know you Most people generally speaking are ready to smile back when they are smiled at
Furthermore smiling and being in a positive mood helps you to know and get a better understanding of new things This means that you can possibly be friendlier to people you do not know and be more creative and able to solve problems more quickly So if you ever need a reason to be happy think about the wonderful people you might meet and impress with a cheerful smile
34 What does the underlined word react in Paragraph 1 probably mean in Chinese
A 回应 B 道歉 C 报告 D 建议
35 Which paragraph shows how soon others form opinions on you
A Paragraph 1 B Paragraph 2 C Paragraph 3 D Paragraph 4
36 What can be learned from the last paragraph
A Friendliness helps solve problems
B Being positive helps you find a way out
C There are many reasons to be happy
D Thinking of great people cheers you up

When the leaves begin to change their colours and the birds head south we know the season is starting to change On Sept7 comes White Dew（白露）the 15th solar term（节气）of the year It marks the beginning of he cool autumn As the temperature falls White Dew is often seen on the grass and trees at night
For writers and poets autumn is a difficult season to describe It＇s the end of the summer and therefore a little sad The days seem to get shorter The nights draw inand when you wake in the morning there＇s mist（薄雾）and it＇s cooler Winter is around the corner
American writer Ernest Hemingway wrote in his book A Moveable Feast（流动盛宴）You expected to be sad in the fall Part of you died each year when the leaves fell from the trees and their branches（枝条）were bare（光秃秃） against the wind and the cold wintry light
But on the other hand autumn has its good side There are so many changes at this time of year such as the colourful leaves and cooler nights French writer Albert Camus even thought autumn was a second spring when every leaf is a flower This view is also found in the most famous autumn poem in English literature To Autumn by John Keats In that poem Keats says that autumn has its own songs just like spring
Another theme of this season is wisdom The arrival of autumn is thought to be similar to a person becoming mature（成熟）
The great Irish poet W B Yeats used this idea in his poem The Wild Swans at Coole （库尔野天鹅writing about the changing seasons in Coole Park in the west of Ireland Seeing and counting 59 swans he remembers first making the count as a young man Seeing the swans do the same thing for all those years he＇s reminded that even though we get older our hearts always stay the same age

From deserts( 沙漠) and beaches to playgrounds sand is a common sight But you might not know that sand is also a useful resource
Sand is the second mostused resource in the world after water the BBC reported However the UN said that sand is not limitless and that we might be running out of it
Sand is made up of very small pieces of rock soil and minerals It can take tens of thousands of years to form But now we are using sand more quickly than it is being formed According to the BBC we use about 15 billion tons of sand every year to build houses roads and other things That’s enough to build a 20meterhigh by 20meterwide wall around the equator(赤道) every year

If people keep using this much sand it will run out in many places For example Vietnam may run out of construction(建造) sand by 2020 Live Science noted
Since people need so much sand they are trying to mine(开采) more of it But this is bad for the environment Mining sand may cause beaches to disappear and more floods to happen in places close to the sea Also this may affect the habitats of many plants and animals

When the leaves begin to change their colours and the birds head south we know the season is starting to change On Sept7 comes White Dew（白露）the 15th solar term（节气）of the year It marks the beginning of he cool autumn As the temperature falls White Dew is often seen on the grass and trees at night
For writers and poets autumn is a difficult season to describe It＇s the end of the summer and therefore a little sad The days seem to get shorter The nights draw inand when you wake in the morning there＇s mist（薄雾）and it＇s cooler Winter is around the corner

But on the other hand autumn has its good side There are so many changes at this time of year such as the colourful leaves and cooler nights French writer Albert Camus even thought autumn was a second spring when every leaf is a flower This view is also found in the most famous autumn poem in English literature To Autumn by John Keats In that poem Keats says that autumn has its own songs just like spring
Another theme of this season is wisdom The arrival of autumn is thought to be similar to a person becoming mature（成熟）
The great Irish poet W B Yeats used this idea in his poem The Wild Swans at Coole （库尔野天鹅writing about the changing seasons in Coole Park in the west of Ireland Seeing and counting 59 swans he remembers first making the count as a young man Seeing the swans do the same thing for all those years he＇s reminded that even though we get older our hearts always stay the same age

From deserts( 沙漠) and beaches to playgrounds sand is a common sight But you might not know that sand is also a useful resource
Sand is the second mostused resource in the world after water the BBC reported However the UN said that sand is not limitless and that we might be running out of it
Sand is made up of very small pieces of rock soil and minerals It can take tens of thousands of years to form But now we are using sand more quickly than it is being formed According to the BBC we use about 15 billion tons of sand every year to build houses roads and other things That’s enough to build a 20meterhigh by 20meterwide wall around the equator(赤道) every year
People also put sand in the sea to make new islands Singapore for example is now 20 percent bigger than it was in 1965 Palm islands are three large manmade islands in Dubai United Arab Emirates They took 94 million cubic meters of sand to build They are the largest manmade islands in the world
If people keep using this much sand it will run out in many places For example Vietnam may run out of construction(建造) sand by 2020 Live Science noted
