以下是五位学生的个人信息，请匹配学生与适合他们的书籍：

1. Isabel loves to entertain her classmates. She has a natural sense of comedy and always comes up with questions and statements that challenge her classmates to think and laugh hard. One day, for example, she suggested that students and teachers trade places for a whole school day.

2. Derrick lives far away from school. To get to school, he has to ride a bus for more than one hour twice a day. Fortunately, he enjoys spending this time testing his mental powers. He especially likes riddles, puzzles, crosswords and any game that can be done with only his quick mind and a pencil or pen.

3. Laura is a bookworm and spends long hours reading books about past times. That is probably why she knows so much about the past. She keeps a journal of interesting facts she learns to share with her friends and teachers. A recent entry described life in the palace of the Egyptian Queen Cleopatra.

4. Trey is always on the move. After school, he enjoys getting on his bike and going somewhere interesting — a museum, an art gallery, a baseball game, or a new ice-cream café. His family also likes to travel. They often go camping in National Parks, or visit historical sites like battlefields.

5. Miranda lives on a ranch where she helps her parents manage a large herd of cattle. She loves to ride horses and also loves to help people. She has combined these talents to offer riding classes to young children who are blind. Giving them confidence as riders helps them gain confidence in other areas of their lives.

B

（浙江题型）第1至5题描述了我们在生活中可能遇到的典型五类人，以及同他们交流时的会出现问题。请从A、B、C、D、E和F中选出针对这些类型的人最合适的解决办法。选项中一项是多余选项。

1. The low talker: You find yourself nodding to nothing in particular.

2. The close talker: You can see their teeth — and smell their breath.

3. The improper talker: They are talking about someone behind their back. You don't want to talk to these people!

4. The continual talker: The person won't let you get a word in.

5. The interrupter: They finish your sentences or try to have the advantage of you before you're done with your story.

A. How to deal with them: If it's a person you talk regularly with, you need to train them on how to talk to you. Say: "Just a moment, I'd like to complete my thought."

B. How to deal with them: Ask the person to speak up. It is rude to stand and pretend you can hear someone when you can't, so let them know you can't understand them.

C. How to deal with them: In a social setting, you don't need to stay and try to talk to them. The person may be sad, or having a bad day. Just say, "It's been nice talking to you," and move on.

D. How to deal with them: Just nod happily until you can get away. At least you get a break from talking for a while. Excusing yourself to the restroom is often the perfect getaway — unless, of course, they decide to follow you there.

E. How to deal with them: If it's really offensive, say, "I'm sorry, this topic makes me uncomfortable." But be careful not to attack the person.

F. How to deal with them: Move your body and stand with your shoulder near the person, which creates a bit of distance. Also, speak up. If you speak louder, the other person will usually back up.

C

（上海题型）Directions: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.

A. Repeating a goal makes it stick.

B. Pleasing other people doesn't work.

C. Roadblocks don't mean failure.

D. Specific, realistic goals work best.

E. Positive self-talk boosts your attitude and motivation.

F. It takes time for a change to become an established habit.

Below are some practical tips on goal setting which can help make it easier to set and reach goals.

1.

When it comes to making a change, the people who succeed are those who set realistic, specific goals. Let's say you want to run a marathon. If you try to run the entire distance of 26.2 miles tomorrow without any training, you're unlikely to succeed. It takes the average person 4 months of training to run that far! Part of staying motivated is being specific about what you want to achieve. "I'm going to recycle all my plastic bottles, soda cans, and magazines" is a much more achievable goal than "I'm going to do more for the environment." And that makes it easier to stick with.

2.

It will probably take a couple of months before any changes — like getting up half an hour early to exercise — become a routine part of your life. That's because your brain needs time to get used to the idea that this new thing you're doing is part of your regular routine.

3.

Write your goal down every day to keep you focused and remind you how much you want it. Research shows that writing down a goal is part of the mental process of committing to it. Meanwhile, say your goal out loud each morning to remind yourself of what you want and what you're working for. Every time you remind yourself of your goal, you're training your brain to make it happen.

4.

The people who love you can help you stick with a goal or make a change. But the key to making any change is to find the desire within yourself — you have to do it because you want it, not because a girlfriend, boyfriend, coach, parent, or someone else wants you to. It will be harder to stay on track and motivated if you're doing something out of obligation to another person.

5.

If you slip up (出差错), don't give up. Forgive yourself and make a plan for getting back on track. Slip-ups are actually part of the learning process as you retrain your brain into a new way of thinking. It is normal to mess up a few times when trying to make a change. Instead of feeling discouraged, view slip-ups as lessons and reminders of why you're trying to make a change. When you mess up, it's not a fault — it's an opportunity to learn something new about yourself. Say your goal is to fight less with your brother or sister. You may learn that it's better to say, "I can't talk about this right now" and take time to calm down when you feel your temper growing out of control.
