“No man is an island” is a well-known line from John Donne’s Devotion, written m ore than three hundred years ago. Even now people still agree with him. No one can live a completely isolated life. Without other people, life became empty and sad. We all need friends.
For some of us, though making friends is not difficult, feeling shy, we may not want to make the first move. It is also difficult at times to keep the friends we already have.
There are many books about friendship, but Dale Carnegie’s How to Win Friends an d Influence People, written in 1936, is the most famous. This “how to” book about gettin g along with other people became a best-seller. It was later put into 28 languages.
Dale Carnegie’s advice seems to be simple, but can his advice help you? Do you ne ed to change the way you act? Here is the list of advice from his book.

Always greet with a smile. Begin with “excuse me” or “would you please”, when you want to ask somebody. Remember to say “thank you” and try to be as helpful as you c an.
2. Go out of your way to be nice.
Find some time to do special things for other people. Making some soup for a sick neighbor may seem like a little thing to you, but it will make your neighbor feel a lot b etter.
3. Remember names.
They say that the sweetest music to a person’s ears is the sound of his or her own n ame.
4. Be open-minded.
Try to understand other people’s ways and ideas and lea rn something from them.

When someone is talking to you, look at him or her, listen carefully and say somethin
g when necessary.

Ideas about education are changing in the United States. Education today is not just a high school diploma (文凭) or a college degree. Many adults are not interested in going to college. They are interested in other kinds of learning. For them, learning does not end with a diploma.
Continuing education gives these adults the opportunity to increase their knowledge ab out their own field or to learn about a new field. It also gives these adults a chance to im prove their old skills or to learn new ones.
Scientists, mechanics and barbers can take classes to improve their work skills. If the y know more or learn more, they can get a better job or earn more money.
Continuing education classes give more adults the chances to learn new skills. There are usually a large variety of classes to choose from: typing, foreign cooking, photography, auto repair, furniture repair, or swimming. These are only some of the classes available.
Some adults take classes for fun or because the class will be useful for them. Other a dults take continuing education classes to improve their own lives because they want to fe el better about themselves.
Almost any community college or public school system has a continuing education pro gram. There are classes in schools, community buildings or churches. Most classes are in t he evening, so working people can attend. The classes are usually small, and they are ine xpensive.

When a dirty and untidy orange cat showed up in the prison yard，I was one of the first to go out there and pet it．I hadn’t touched a cat or a dog in over 20 years．I spent at least 20 minutes，knelt down behind the kitchen as the cat rolled around，relaxed．Wh at he was expressing outwardly, I was feeling inwardly．It was an amazing bit of grace t o feel him under my hand and note that I was reaching a life or another creature with so mething as simple as my care．
Over the next few days，there were other prisoners responding to the cat．Every yard period，a group of prisoners gathered there．They stood around talking and taking turns p etting the cat．These were guys you wouldn’t usually find talking to each other．Several t imes I saw an officer in the group，not chasing people away, but just watching and seemi ng to enjoy along with the prisoners．Bowls of milk and water appeared along with bread,
wisely placed under the edge of the dustbin to keep the birds from getting it．The cat was obviously homeless and in pretty bad shape．People said that the cat ca me to the right place．He's getting treated like a king．This was true．but as I watched I was also thinking about what the cat was doing for us．There was a lot of talk about w hat's wrong with prisons in America．We need more programs．We need more psychologi sts(心理学家) or treatment of various kinds．Some may even talk about making prisons mo re kind．But I think what we really need is a chance to practice our own kindness．Not receive it，but give it．After more than two decades here，I know kindness is not a valu e that's encouraged．It's often seen as a weakness．
Instead，the culture encourages keeping your head down，minding your own business，and never letting yourself be weak．
The cat did my heart good to see the effect he had on me and the men here．By sim ply saying，“ I need some help here ”，he did something important for us．He needed us．A nd we needed to be needed．I believe we all do．

第二节：信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从下框A~F 选项中选出能概括每段主题的最佳选项，并在答题纸上将
If your child has gone from a continuous chatterbox to making conversations that cons ist mostly of yes and no, it’s time to consider these tips on how to talk to kids, so you’l l know what’s going on in your child’s world.
66. The quickest way to get kids to shut up and, as a result, shut you out of their lives is to continuously press them about things. A more effective way is to sit back and pa tiently wait for them to open up in a low-stress family
and then be prepared
to listen.
67. Parents can sometimes make kids at a young age decide it is best not to talk about s omething when they are criticized. If you really want to know what’s on your child’s min d, then avoid passing judgment and focus instead on why something seems important to y our child.
68.
If you want to raise a creative and independent thinker, stop telling your child what he ought to feel or think. You can gently encourage additional conversations by simply asking why he feels the way he does or what he would do in a certain situation.
69.
You may think you’r e just asking questions out of curiosity when communicating with your child, but an endless stream of questions about what they did, whether everyone go t along, if they went to the bathroom, etc., are enough to make anyone shut up! Practice patience and let your kids open up on their terms.
70.
Kids can relate to you and other adults when you tell your stories happening when yo u were their age. Talking to kids by telling them about things like something embarrassin g that happened or the first crush (迷恋) you had helps them to connect with you and und erstand that you might actually know what they are going through!。
