feeling of uncertainty about your ability to accomplish something. This dark shadow of insecurity can lead
to hesitation and indecision. If left unchecked, it can cause us to abandon our course or radically
compromise our expectations.
Here are seven simple steps to conquering (战胜) self-doubt.
1. Recognize and acknowledge your doubt. You cannot overcome something until you first recognize
and acknowledge its existence. If we give into the temptation (诱惑)to ignore or deny self-doubt, it will
impose limits on our ability to act. Self-doubt can be a stealthy (潜在的) problem. If you suspect that it
exists, you need to pull it into the light so it can be dealt with. The better you become at identifying hidden doubts, the easier it will be to overcome them.
2. Analyze your doubt. Spend some time drilling down and figure out what triggered (引发) it and
why? When you analyze feelings, you make them vulnerable (脆弱) logic and reason. Normally, feelings
override logic, but questioning the validity of feelings brings them within the reach of reason.
3. Identify the source. If you can figure out where these feelings originate, then you can hit them where
they live. You don"t need to psychoanalyze yourself back to childhood or anything like that. Just try to
get a handle on the area of your life that creates your sense of uncertainty so you can work on it.
4. Is there a pattern. Do you have a history of self-doubt in this area? Doubt tends to have favorite
places to hang out. This raises the likelihood that we have probably experienced it in a similar situation
before. Think back, have you been down this road before? Did you overcome your doubts? If so, what
steps did you take? If not, what can you do differently this time around?
5. Design a plan. Sit down and plan out a strategy for defeating your doubt. Make an educated
decision about what to do next. Choose a path that you think will lead to conquering your doubts. Next,
put your plan down in writing.
6. Anticipate (预计) possible challenges. Now look at your plan and try to identify possible challenges
along the way. Is there some area that you need help with? If so, ask someone close to you to give you
some encouragement. Sometimes, some foresight and a little support is all it takes.
7. Take action. You have a plan, the next step is to put it to use by taking action. Stick to your plan
and ask for help if you need it. In fact, encouragement is good even if you think you can go it alone.
For most people, self-doubt is just a temporary condition. Think of it like a speed bump on the road
to success. Take the bump in stride(脚步), then put the pedal to the metal, and go for it. When your
confidence is challenged, just follow these seven steps and you will get past it. In fact, I have no doubt
about your ability to leave self-doubt in the dust.

| When something goes wrong, it can be very satisfying to say, "Well, it"s so-and-so"s fault. "or "I know I"m late, but it"s not my fault; the car broke down. " It is probably not your fault, but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation, you are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation. This is the winner"s key to success. Winners are great at overcoming problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly. Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need. For another example, if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or don"t rely on this person. You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well. This is what being a winner is all about - creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners don"t have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situation to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on "whose fault it is. " Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stones for success. | ||||||||||||||||

| Would you like to be a king or queen? To have people waiting on you hand and foot? Many Americans experience this royal treatment every day. How? By being customers. The American idea of customer service is to make each customer the center of attention. Need proof? Just listen to the commercials. Most of them sound like the McDonald"s ad: "We do it all for you." Actually, not all stores in America roll out the red carpet for their customers. But wherever you go, good customer service means making customers feel special. People going shopping in America can expect to be treated with respect from the very beginning. Most places don"t have a "furniture street" or a "computer road" which allow you to compare prices easily. Instead, people often "let their fingers do the walking" through the store hot lines. From the first "hello", customers receive a satisfying response to their questions. This initial contact can help them decide where to shop. When customers get to the store, they are treated as honored guests. Customers don"t usually find store clerks sitting around watching TV or playing cards. Instead, the clerks greet them warmly and offer to help them find what they want. In most stores, the clear signs that label each department make shopping a breeze. Customers usually don"t have to ask how much items cost, since prices are clearly marked. And unless they"re at a flea market or a yard sale, they don"t bother trying to bargain. When customers are ready to check out, they find the nearest and shortest checkout lane. But as Murphy"s Law would have it, whichever lane they get in, all the other lanes will move faster. Good stores open new checkout lanes when the lanes get too long. Some even offer express lanes for customers with 10 items or less. After they pay for their purchases, customers receive a smile and a warm "thank you" from the clerk. Many stores even allow customers to take their shopping carts out to the parking lot. That way, they don"t have to carry heavy bags out to the car. | ||||||||||||||||
| 1. By quoting (引用) the McDonald"s ad: "We do it all for you", the author intends to_______. | ||||||||||||||||
| A. suggest that customers believe what commercials say deeply B. show readers the American idea on good customer service C. express all the stores pay much attention to the customers D. persuade readers to choose the stores with ads correctly | ||||||||||||||||
| 2. In the USA, what may you do at first if you want to do some shopping? | ||||||||||||||||
| A. To visit a professional street with lots of similar stores. B. To compare prices in many shops in the same street. C. To make phone calls and get better shopping choices. D. To receive other customers" answers to the questions. | ||||||||||||||||

| There are a number of advantages when it comes to living alone. However, it also comes with a few safety concerns. You still never know who will be around the corner. Don"t become another victim; be sure to follow our tips. 1. All doors should be kept locked. Always keep your doors locked when you are in your apartment or dorm. Make sure the doors are closed behind you when you come into the building and never leave your room unlocked, even when you are in it. There"s always a chance that someone might sneak in while you are unaware. Always try to remember to close doors behind you to ensure your safety. 2. Don"t lose your keys. Even if you do everything you can to keep the doors locked, criminals might still be able to come into your house with a key. Always know where your keys are to prevent this. Never put them down in a public place or give them to friends. Also, before you bring your car into the repair shop, take off the house keys. 3. When it comes to safety, standing up for yourself is important. If you aren"t getting all the security features you want, don"t be afraid to ask. If your lighting situation is less than ideal, discuss this with your supervisor or landlord. Talk to the campus security organization if you think a security phone near your dorm is a good idea. Request that the building employ someone to monitor those entering and leaving the building. You should feel safe where you reside (居住于), so stand up for your rights. 4. Be careful. You still might find yourself in a potentially dangerous situation. Check your peephole (窥视孔) before letting anyone in. Whenever you witness something around your building that makes you uncomfortable or suspicious just dial 911. It is a good idea to always walk with a friend instead of alone. Become familiar with people who live in the building, so you can keep track of anyone that is a stranger. | ||||||||||||||||
