• 3．Have you ever thought about why you are the way you are？And what does your personality （性格） connect with？Recent research has showed that the position in which we are born in our family plays a very important role in forming personality.
     The eldest child
     Being the only child，the oldest enjoys all their parents' attention.However，new parents usually expect to see their child do well.And the eldest child generally tries to meet these expectations.As a result，the eldest children are usually polite and traditional.The problems come with the birth of another child.Suddenly the attention they're used to receiving becomes weaker.Then，they don't feel safe and will try to do all they can to make their parents happy.
     The second child
     The second child has no experience of life without a brother or sister，so they never know how their brothers or sisters feel when they suddenly have to share the attention.The second children are often more outgoing and always looking for ways to get attention One of the most common ways to achieve this is by making people laugh and the second children are often the jokers of the family.Again，problems can appear when another baby arrives.Suddenly，the second child becomes the middle child and may lose a clear sense of where they are.
     The third child
     With the birth of their third baby，parents will often feel this is their last chance to bring up a child.This means the youngest child，more often than not，is spoilt （溺爱） with attention and love.This can lead them to be very self-centered，believing that the world moves around them.They are always treated as the "baby" of the family so they don't do as well as they could do.They like doing things in unexpected ways，so they are also likely to be creative.
  
  （1）What influences people's personality a lot according to the text ？

  
  A．Birth place.
  B．Birth weight.
  C．Birth way.
  D．Birth order.
  （2）What does the underlined word "they" refer to in the text？

  
  A．The eldest children.

• 4．There are many different ways to solve a problem.One way is to be creative.People often think creative thinking is just for artists and designers，but this is not true.Dr.Edward de Bono，an expert in creative thinking and problem solving，has shown the world that using creativity to solve problems is very useful in business and in our communities，and will continue to be so in the future.
     One example of creative thinking is the solution to a parking problem in a town center.In the areas close to stores，people can only park for 20 minutes.There are parking meters where people pay to park in these areas.However，the problem is that many people leave their cars there for longer than 20 minutes.Dr.Edward de Bono's solution is to make a rule that all cars parked in these areas must keep their headlights on.Of course，drivers will want to return to their cars before their car batteries （蓄电池） die.
     According 10 Dr.jye.ai Bono，people will need to use creative thinking more often in the future.To help people think more creatively，he designed the"Six Thinking Hats" system（系统）.The system helps people think about a problem in different ways in order to find a solution.In the system，there are six imaginary hats of different colors.Each hat symbolizes a different way of thinking.For example，the white hat helps people consider the facts.The black hat is the most logical（有逻辑的） and helps people consider why a possible solution may not work.So，next time you have a problem in your community，think about it creatively，from different perspectives，and see what ideas you have.
  
  （1）What is the topic of the text？

  
  A．Being a creative artist in the community.
  B．Doing business successfully in the future.
  C．Asking experts for some useful advice.
  D．Using creative thinking to solve problems.
  （2）Why is the example mentioned in Paragraph 2？

  
  A．To express a result.
  B．To describe a problem.
  C．To support the topic.
  D．To list some numbers.
  （3）What does the underlined word "perspectives" in Paragraph 3 mean？

  
  A．Ways
  B．Places.
  C．People.
  D．Rules.
  （4）Which of the following is true about the "Six Thinking Hats" system？

  
  A．The system is used to help people think quickly.
  B．The white hat helps people think about the facts.
  C．The black hat has to do with people's feelings.
  D．Six hats of different shapes can be very helpful.

• 5．How to make friends at a new school Starting with a new school can be difficult.Everything is nothing like your previous school，and you don't even know where to go for your own classes.（1）

  However，if you use these skills，you can quickly turn some of those strangers into friends.
     Be yourself.
     （2）

  If some people don't accept you，they're not the kind of friends you need.People often stay together because they have similar interests.For example，someone who does a lot of sport may make friends with those who also run or swim a lot.
     （3）

  
     Remember to be nice to the people you meet at your new school.If you think that you will say something that may make them feel sad，do not say anything and just nod your head if they talk to you.Also，remember to be as helpful as possible!
     Believe in yourself.
     A smile goes a long way.When you walk in the halls，don't keep your eyes on the floor.Raise your head and make eye contact（接触）with other people.（4）

  Introduce yourself.Tell them your name and where you're from.
     Remember people's names.
     You like it when people use your name，and so do other people.（5）

  Besides，ask them in a kind way if they have a nickname（昵称）.You'd be amazed how often this might come in handy.
  
  A.People may become angry if you just begin by saying "Hey" each time.
  B.Be friendly to others.
  C.Join afterschool activities you like.
  D.Making new friends can be hard，too.
  E.Don't sit at the back of the classroom where other people don't notice you!
