hear people say that you can"t expect someone else to love you until you love yourself. Either way,
you"ve got to love yourself first and this can be tricky. Sure we all know that we"re the apple of our
parents" eyes, and that our Grandmas think we"re great talents and our Uncle Roberts think that we will
go to the Olympics. but sometimes it"s a lot harder to think such nice thoughts about ourselves. If you
find that believing in yourself is a challenge, it is time you built a positive self-image and learn to love
yourself.
Self-image is your own mind"s picture of yourself. This image includes the way you look, the way you
act, the way you talk and the way you think. Interestingly, our self-images are often quite different from
the images others hold about US. Unfortunately, most of these images are more negative than they
should be. Thus changing the way you think about yourself is the key to changing your self-image and
your whole world.
The best way to defeat a passive self-image is to step back and decide to stress your successes. That
is, make a list if you need to, but write down all of the great things you do every day. Don"t allow doubts
to occur in it.
It very well might be that you are experiencing a negative self-image because you can"t move past one
flaw or weakness that you see about yourself. Well, roll up your sleeves and make a change of it as your
primary task. If you think you"re silly because you aren"t good at math, find a tutor. If you think you"re
weak because you can"t run a mile, get to the track and practice. If you think you"re dull because you
don"t wear the latest trends, buy a few new clothes. But remember, just because you think it doesn"t
mean it"s true.
The best way to get rid of a negative serf-image is to realize that your image is far from objective,
and to actively convince yourself of your positive qualities. Changing the way you think and working on
those you need to improve will go a long way towards promoting a positive self-image. When you can
pat yourself on the back, you"ll know you"re well on your way. Good luck!

| Despite losing the final at the Australian open, 28-year-old Chinese tennis player Li Na is popular in the foreign media. This is related not only to her identity as the first Asian to play in a Grand Slam singles finals, but also her courtside humor and merry personality. Li represents the image of the Chinese people. Every successful athlete, on certain occasions, becomes a symbol of his or her nation. Previously, Chinese sports players had a strong sense of "representing China", and often appeared conservative(保 守的) and overcautious. Foreign journalists used to find it hard to distinguish among Chinese athletes due to their lack of individuality in their eyes. Li is breaking that traditional image. Li"s impressive performance on the court was driven by her own personality and it represents a social change in China during the past two decades. Mainly, the constraints (约束) on self-expression have been shaken off. This straightforward girl represents a different China that allows her to "just be herself". Some foreign media outlets regard Li as a "Chinese tennis rebel(叛逆)". She wears a rose tattoo on her chest and employs her husband as personal coach; she first thanked her sponsor at the award ceremony, and even asked the chair referee during the tense second set: "Can you tell the Chinese not to teach me how to play tennis?" In fact, such "rebelliousness" didn"t upset the Chinese, because they"ve been fed up with clich?s(陈词 滥调)like "thank my leaders" or "thank my comrades". Furthermore, being reminded to behave with great care is probably the last thing they want while watching a game. Chinese society and its people need to relax. They need a little humor and open-mindedness to cope with small mistakes, and imperfection should be allowed from time to time. Being excessively "correct" can lead to untruthfulness and pressure. China is not as "correct" as it was in the past. However, isn"t this China more lovely and real? 1. In the author"s opinion, Li Na is different from other Chinese athletes in that ______. A. she is a symbol of the country B. she is traditional and overcautious C. she has her own individuality D. she is a rebellious tennis player 2. Why didn"t Li Na"s "rebelliousness" upset the Chinese? A. Because she is the first Asian to play in a Grand Slam singles finals. B. Because she is a perfect athlete without any small mistakes. C. Because of her impressive performance on the court and her vivid personality. D. Because Li Na employs her husband as her personal coach. 3. We may infer from the passage that ______________. A. some referees commented on Li Na"s performance during the game B. Li Na became the focus of the foreign media after the game C. Li Na"s impressive performance represents a social change in China D. the Chinese used to lay great emphasis on being correct and perfect 4. The real purpose of the author"s writing the passage is about____________. A. Chinese belief of being excessively correct B. Chinese good behaviors when watching a game C. the rebellion of a Chinese tennis player D. the inspiration to the Chinese from Li Na"s story | |||

| I used to be frustrated when I got "trapped" in the train station in New York. When this happened, I spent time "observing" people and found that the New York City trains formed "an underground "NYC". I met all kinds of people there. Sitting in the trains coming from suburban like Queens and Brooklyn, I saw babysitters and house keepers, in white or pink uniforms, carrying a shopping bag with lunch and another prettier bag for their makeup. Some gentlemen in suits get squeezed in between ladies, reading the New York Times, holding Starbucks coffees and a piece of napkin. The passengers" skin color would get lighter as the train went from suburban areas to uptown NYC. Clothes brands changed from "Nike" and "Babyphat" to "Armani" and "Prada". Getting lost is not embarrassing at all. Even New Yorkers who have lived in the city for 20 years need to check out the map before going to a new place by train. People from other states are just as confused as foreigners when they are "thrown" underground. It was funny when people carrying big backpacks and holding maps, asked me where they could transfer while I was trying to find an exit. "I"m sorry; I am trying to find my way out too." I felt really bad about not helping them. To my surprise, the two guys with blue eyes didn"t look disappointed at all. They laughed and told me, "Oh, we are wondering if there"s really an exit because we have been walking around here for 10 minutes and we still don"t know where to transfer to the uptown train!" NYC trains are just like doors rotating (旋转) on and on. If I hadn"t got lost several times, I might not have had the chance to stop and see what was happening outside my block. 1. According to the article, what kind of people has the author seen in the subway? a.babysitters and housekeepers in uniforms b.people wearing "Armani" and "Prada" c.gentlemen with newspapers and maps d.foreign women carrying a shopping bag with lunch and their makeup e.foreigners checking out the map before going to new place by train A. abc B. bcd C. cde D. abe 2. What can we infer from the third paragraph? A. People of lighter skin color are less likely to live in the uptown NYC. B. People in the suburban areas never wear "Armani" and "Prada". C. People of different backgrounds travel by subway in NYC. D. People of a better financial status usually don"t take the subway. 3. Which of the following statement is TRUE about the author according to the article? A. She found observing people in NYC trains quite frustrating. B. She came to be grateful for the time when she lost her way in the subway. C. She realized that only foreigners like her got trapped in the subway. D. She was embarrassed when she had to ask the way in the subway. 4. What is the best title of the article? A. An experience of taking the subway in NYC B. The subway service in NYC C. Busy life in uptown NYC D. An Underground "NYC" | |||

| Advertisers tend to think big and perhaps this is why they"re always coming in for (getting) criticism. Their critics seem to resent(对...不满) them because they have a gift for self-promotion and because they have so much money to throw around. "It"s unjust," they say, "that this entirely unproductive industry (if we can call it that) should absorb millions of pounds each year. It only goes to show how much profit the big companies are making. Why don"t they stop advertising and reduce the price of their goods? After all, it"s the consumer who pays…" The poor old consumer! He"d have to pay a great deal more if advertising didn"t create mass markets for products. It is precisely because of the heavy advertising that consumer goods are so cheap. But we get the wrong idea if we think the only purpose of advertising is to sell goods. Another equally important function is to inform. A great deal of the knowledge we have about household goods comes largely from the advertisements we read. Advertisements introduce us to new products or remind us of the existence of ones we already know about. Supposing you wanted to buy a washing machine, it is more than likely you would obtain details regarding performance, price, etc., from an advertisement. Lots of people pretend that they never read advertisements, but this claim may be seriously doubted. It is hardly possible not to read advertisements these days. And what fun they often are, too! Just think what a railway station or a newspaper would be like without advertisements. Would you enjoy gazing at a blank wall or reading railway byelaws(内部规则) while waiting for a train? Would you like to read only closely printed columns of news in your daily paper? A cheerful, witty advertisement makes such a difference to a dull wall or a newspaper full of the daily ration(定量) of disasters. We must not forget, either, that advertising makes a positive contribution to our pockets. Newspapers, commercial radio and television companies could not subsist (survive) without this source of revenue. The fact that we pay so little for our daily paper, or can enjoy so many broadcast programmes is due entirely to the money spent by advertisers. Just think what a newspaper would cost if we had to pay its full price! Another thing we mustn"t forget is the "small ads." which are in virtually every newspaper and magazine. What a tremendously useful service they perform for the community! Just about anything can be accomplished through these columns. For instance, you can find a job, buy or sell a house, announce a birth, marriage or death in what used to be called the "hatch(giving birth), match and dispatch" column but by far the most fascinating section is the personal or "agony" column(读者来信 专栏). No other item in a newspaper provides such entertaining reading or offers such a deep insight into human nature. It"s the best advertisement for advertising there is! | |||
