UNICEF is the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund.

It raises money and helps millions of young people around the world.

There are four main UNICEF projects at the moment:

Under Fives.Every year,ten million young children die.We can stop this.We can give children a better start in life﹣healthy food,a good home and a good school.

Child Workers.Many children do not go to school﹣they work in factories.They often work twelve or fourteen hours a day.And about 300,000children in the world are soldiers(士兵)﹣﹣﹣some are only eight years old! This is wrong and we want to stop it.

Girls' Education.More boys than girls in the world go to school.Some girls do not learn to read or write and later in life they don't get good jobs.Education is good for both boys and girls.We want more girls in schools

Medicine.Every year more than two million children die diseases because they do not have enough medicine.Medicine is not expensive.We give medicine to 40% of the world's children,mainly in Africa and Asia.

Most children are taught the virtue (美德) of honesty from stories.The well﹣known story of Pinocchio teaches the importance of telling the truth.Every time Pinocchio lies,his nose grows longer and longer.Another story is about the boy who"cried wolf." In the end,he loses all his sheep and the trust of his fellow villagers because he tells lies many times.These types of stories show children that "honesty is the best policy." Still,if thisis the case,then why do so many people lie?The fact is that people lie for many reasons.

One reason people lie is to minimize (减少) a mistake.While it is true that everyone does something wrong from time to time,some people do not have the courage to admit their errors (错误) because they are afraid they will be blamed.For example,students might lie to their teachers about unfinished homework.They might say that they left the work at home when,in fact,they did not do the work at all.These students do not want to get in trouble or seem irresponsible,so they make up an excuse﹣ a lie﹣ to save face.

Another reason for lying has to do with self﹣protection.Parents,particularly those with young children,may teach their children to use this type of"protective" lie in certain circumstances (状况).What should children do if a stranger calls while the parents are out?Many parents teach their children to explain that their mother and father are too busy to come to the phone at that time.In this situation,protective lying can mean greater safety.

People lie for many reasons,both good and bad.Lying to keep the peace or to stay safe can have positive results.However,lying to stay out of trouble can lead to more trouble in the end.Understanding the motives behind the impulse (冲动) to lie might minimize this habit of lying.

(1)What does the underlined word"this" refer to in the passage?    

A.

Honesty is the best policy.

B.

The well﹣known story of Pinocchio.

C.

The story of the boy who"cried wolf".

(2)Why do some children lie to their teachers?    

A.

Because they like making up an excuse.

B.

Because they have left the homework at home.

C.

Because they are afraid to be blamed at school.

(3)How does the writer explain why people tell lies?    

A.

By asking questions.

B.

By giving examples.

C.

By showing the results.

(4)What is the correct structure of the passage? (P﹣paragraph 1)    

A.

B.

C.

(5)What's the best title for the passage?    

A.

The Truth behind Lying.

B.

The Types of Lies.

C.

The Habit of Lying.

People can't see you when you're speaking on the phone,but they can hear you.So,the way you

speak is especially important.In fact,researchers have calculated that 80% of communication over the

phone is through your tone of voice; and only 20% is from the words you use.Here are our top tips on

how to speak over the phone.

1Facial Expressions

     Your facial expression can influence your voice.For example,if you smile,your voice will sound warm and friendly,just the opposite,if you have an angry look on your face,it can make you sound unpleasant.

2Volume

     If you speak too loudly,you could sound angry.And if you speak too softly,it'll be difficult to hear you.So,speak loudly enough to be heard clearly,but not so loud that you're shouting.

3Pace

     The pace of your voice is how quickly you speak.And this can show how you feel.For example,an angry person might speak faster than normal.Or a downhearted person might speak very slowly.Try speaking a little more slowly than normal.This will make you sound confident,and it'll make it easier for the other person to understand you.

4Gestures

     Gesturing can influence the tone of your voice.When you gesture,you bring more air into the lungs,which can make your voice sound warmer.Gestures are also useful to help you stress the right words or even find the words you need.The best thing about gesturing during a phone call is that no one can see what you're doing,so you can gesture as wildly as you like!

5Movement

     If you're feeling nervous,stand up and move around.It will reduce the nervousness in your body and help your voice to sound more confident.

6Pauses (停顿)

     Using pauses every now and then can help you to slow down.This will make you sound more confident and in control.Also,if you pause after giving some new information,it'll give the other person time to understand it.At the same time,listen to how the other person uses pauses.They could tell you something about the speaker's feeling.For example,when a speaker is really angry,he might use pauses and says,"I…am…so…angry…"

41.How much of telephone communication is from the words you use?  

A.20%.

B.40%.

C.60%.

D.80%.

42.What can people do to reduce their nervousness on the phone?  

A.Gesture wildly.

B.Move around.

C.Raise their voices.

D.Make facial expressions.

43.How can pauses help people talk on the phone?  

A.The speaker can show he is friendly.

B.The speaker can tell more information.

C.The listener will feel confident and in control.  

D.The listener will have time to understand the words.

44.What is the passage mainly about?  

A.How to control the speed of your speech.

B.Different good ways of talking on the phone.

C.Reasons of making gestures while talking.

D.How to improve communication among friends.

45.What is the writer's opinion about telephone talk?  

A.Your voice on the phone will show what you're feeling.

B.Using too many pauses while talking will annoy others.

C.Speaking loudly makes it easier for others to understand you.

D.The words you use are more important than the way you speak.

Dear Died,

Today I was at the shopping centre and I spent a lot of time reading the Father's Day cards.But as I chose add read,and chose add read again,it seemed that not a single card said what I really wanted to you.

You'll soon be 84 years old,Dad,and you and I will have had 56 Father's Days together.I didn't think that you were too old.But the sad thing happened last week.I watched as you turned at the corner in your car.I didn't realize at once that it was you because the man who was driving looked so elderly.

Fifty years ago this spring,we planted carrots together in a garden in Charles City,Iowa.This week,we'll plant carrots together again,perhaps for the last time but I hope not.I don't understand why planting carrots with you is so important to me.Well,I don't quite know how to tell you this,dad …I don't like carrots…but I like planting them with you.

I guess what am trying to say,Dad,is what every son and daughter wants to say to their dad today.Praising a father on Father's Day is about more than a dad who brings home,money or shares a dinner.It's more about a dad deeply loving children who know everything and won't listen to anyone.It's about sharing.It's about loving someone more than words can say,and I wish that it would never end.

Lover,

Jenny.
