In the United States, parents usually encourage their children to develop their potential (潜能). They pay attention to what their kids can do, not what they can’t. As a result, US boys and girls hope to be actors, athletes and doctors; many even want to become presidents when they grow up.
US parents often encourage their children to take part in all kinds of activities at school. They believe that joining in these activities can make their children mature(成熟). Schoolwork is important, but they think that social skills are important as well.
But things in China are different. Chinese parents often tell their children to study hard and pass exams. They think that, for a student, staying away from schoolbooks means wasting time. This puts a lot of pressure on Chinese students, so leaders in China’s education department have called for less homework at the lower grades. Only healthy kids can become healthy adults.

My name is Betty Sanders. I’m a telephone operator（话务员）， and work for a company. My job is very interesting. I love it very much. I work five days a week，and my hours are from 9 o’clock to 5 o’clock. I do a lot of things—I place long-distance（长途）calls for people；I answered questions，and I help people when they are in trouble.
Today，for example，I had an interesting experience. At 11 o’clock this morning，I got a call from a man. I don’t know who he was. He was in trouble and I could tell that he was worried about something. He gave me address and asked me to send an ambulance（救护车）right away. I asked him if somebody was hurt，but he didn't answer my question. He told me he needed a doctor at once，so I said I’d call an ambulance for him but I still wanted to know what was wrong. Then he said，“Our keys are gone! ”I didn't understand that! Why would he need an ambulance just because he couldn't find his keys? Then I found out what the trouble was. The man and his wife left the car keys on a coffee table，and later they couldn't find them. Their little boy Johnny was playing in the room，and they thought he swallowed（吞下）them.
But before I could help him，he told me he wouldn't need an ambulance anymore. His wife found the keys in her bag. They were there all the time.

八、任务型阅读（10分）
请认真阅读下面短文，在短文后表格中的空白处填上适当的单词或短语。
If you think you are too shy and want to be a little bit braver, just try the following things:
Be open to others. Tell people you are shy. There is no need to hide it. When they get to know you are a shy kid, they will understand you better. This also helps you feel more comfortable in talks.
Try to smile more. When you smile, people think you are friendly and easy to talk with. Remember that other people have feelings, too; and most people will stay away from an angry-looking face.
Learn to be a good talker. If you find it hard to start a conversation, say something nice about people around you. Think about how great you feel when someone says something nice to you. Doesn’t it make you want to keep talking to that person?
Get your attention elsewhere. Think more about ways to enjoy parties or games. Don’t waste time worrying about your look or whether people like you or not. You will become relaxed and find it’s not so hard to talk with others.
Take one small step at a time. Each time when you say “Hi!” or smile at someone, say to yourself “You can make it.” Keep trying and one day you’ll never feel shy when you talk to others.
