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 thinks 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 build 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 form
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 you 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 self-image is to realize that your image is far form 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!
B. feel it hard to change yourself
C. are unconfident about yourself
D. have a high opinion of yourself
B. are often changeable
C. are probably untrue
D. have different functions
B. To make your life successful.
C. To understand your own world.
D. To change the way you think.
B. face challenges in your life
C. build a positive self-image
D. develop your good qualities

阅读下面短文，根据第1-3小题的具体要求，简要回答问题。
on the land, more and more barns were torn down to make way for developers. Others that remained
might have fallen into poor condition. Or perhaps they just no longer satisfy the needs of modern farmers. Keeping an old barn in good condition might not be seen as worth the cost if it doesn"t serve much
purpose. But Americans with historic barns are being urged to save them. The magazine Successful
Farming and the National Trust for Historic Preservation are working together on a program called
Barn Again! The National Trust is a non-profit organization that works to provide protection for places
of historic importance in America.
The Barn Again program advises hundreds of barn owners every year. Awards are given for the
projects that best succeed in restoring a barn for continued farm use. Winning buildings are used to
demonstrate methods of preservation.
The organization suggests how problems with things like stone and concrete block foundations can be
fixed. With many old barns, the foundation they are built on is falling apart. Barn Again also offers advice
for other repairs, like how to replace siding and how to use a power washer to remove loose paint. And
farmers are given suggestions about how to calculate costs.
Leo Fitzpatrick of Beaverton, Michigan won the 2004 Barn Again Award. He made one
improvement at a time. The work took more than nine years. He did it himself, even though for a while he
held another job in addition to farming. He says it cost him fourteen thousand dollars, much less than a
new barn of similar size. The improvements include strengthening the barn. There are no structural
supports inside the building; instead, its sizes hold it up.
2. What does Barn Again program do? (回答词数不超过8个)
3. What is the best title for the passage? (回答词数不超过6个)
However, that"s not really true. Words have the power to build us up or tear us down. It doesn"t matter
if the words come from someone"s else or ourselves -the positive and negative effects are just as
lasting.
We all talk to ourselves sometimes. We"re usually too embarrassed to admit it, though. In fact, we
really shouldn"t be because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy
habit.
This "self-talk" helps us motivate ourselves, remember things, solve problems, and calm ourselves
down. Be aware, though, that as much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negative. So in order to stay
positive, we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves. We should also be quick to give
ourselves a pat on the back. The next time you finish a project, do well in a test, or finally clean your
room, join me in saying "Good job!"
Often, words come out of our mouths without us thinking about the effect they will have. But we
should be aware that our words cause certain responses in others. For example, when returning an item
to a store, we might use warm, friendly language during the exchange. And the clerk will probably
respond in a similar manner. Or harsh(刻薄的)and critical language will most likely cause the clerk to be
defensive.
Words possess power because of their lasting effect. Many of us regret something we once said.
And we remember unkind words said to us! Before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: Is it
loving? Is it needed? If what we want to say doesn"t pass this test, then it"s better left unsaid.
Words possess power: both positive and negative. Those around us receive encouragement when
we speak positively. We can offer hope, build self-esteem(自尊)and motivate others to do their best.
Negative words destroy all those things. Will we use our words to hurt or to heal? The choice is ours.
B. inspiring words give us confidence
C. negative words may let us down
D. words have a lasting effect on us
B. we can benefit from talking to ourselves
C. talking to ourselves always gives us courage
D. it does no harm to have "self-talk" when we are alone
B. remind ourselves
C. make ourselves relaxed
D. give ourselves amusement
B. negative words may encourage us to make more progress
C. people tend to remember friendly words
D. it is better to think twice before talking to others
clothes for boring school uniforms.
"The uniform makes us look like a bunch of clones, especially when we are doing morning exercises
in the playground, "said Qing, a Senior 2 from a high school in Shanghai. "But we are not exactly the
same from the top to the bottom. The boys wear different sport shoes and girls have different decorations ( 装饰品 )in their hair. These are the areas where you can express yourself" said Qing.
Although it might be strange for boys to talk about fashion, they do care about what they wear in
school, especially shoes, according to Qing.
"Nike and Adidas basketball shoes, although they are still the must for many of my friends ,are
becoming out-of-date," added. He explained, "Since Liu Xiang ran so fast in Athens, running shoes are
becoming popular in this autumn."
"Still in fashion are the various baseball caps and American-style T-shirts with random English words
printed on them, "said Qing. "The accuracy ( 准确性 )of the written message isn"t important. Often, the
words are misspelt . Sometimes they do not even make sense " Qing said with a smile.
Besides sports shoes and T-shirts, styles and colours of school bags are another opportunity for
students to express their taste in fashion. Some bags are made more eye-catching by decorating them
with small hanging dolls. Other fashionable items are the colourful drink contains which are now popular
among girls this semester.
As in China, the new semester in the US also brings new fashion trends: shirts printed with Chinese
words, necklaces with Hebrew ( 希伯莱 )or Hindi ( 印度的 )characters, and Brazilian jewelry, are all
common in schools in Florida, according to Carmen Domingues, a high school student.
B. All of the exercises are the same.
C. All of the clothes are different.
D. All of the exercises are different.
B. All the students wear school uniforms.
C. The girls have different decorations in their hair.
D. The boys drink water from colourful drinks containers.
B. Because running shoes become more popular.
C. Because the shoes have been popular for a long time.
D. Because they have changed their opinions for Liu Xiang.
B. Baseball caps and American-style T-shirts.
C. Shirts printed with Chinese words.
D. Brazilian jewelry.
mouth. but civilized countries in normal times have better sources of news than rumour. They have radio,
television, and newspapers. In times of confusion ( 混乱 ), however, rumour appears and becomes
widespread. At such times the different kinds of news are in competition: the press, television, and radio
against the grapevine.
Especially do rumours spread when war requires control on many important matters. The normal
news sources no longer give out enough information. Since the people can not learn through legal
channels all that they are anxious to learn, they pick up "news" wherever they can and when this happens,
rumour grows.
Rumours are often repeated even by those who do not believe the tales. There is an interest about them.
The reason is that the cleverly designed rumour gives expression to something deep in the hearts of the
victims-the fears, doubts, forbidden hopes, or daydreams which they hesitate to voice directly.
Pessimistic ( 悲观的 ) rumours about defeat and disasters show that the people who repeat them are
worried and anxious .Optimistic rumours about record production or peace soon coming point to
self- satisfaction or confidence-and often to over- confidence.
B .turns to primitive ways for support
C. distrusts his fellow man
D. loses complete control of himself
B. newspaper
C. information
D. time
B. optimistic reports
C. limited information
D. pessimistic reports
B. They take an interest in rumour.
C. They have a strong desire to make a fool of other people.
D. They find some rumours reflect their own unexpressed beliefs.
because he needs something. His purpose is settled and decided in advance. He knows what he wants,
and his objective is to find it and buy it; the price is a secondary consideration. All men simply walk into a
shop and ask the assistant for what they want. If the shop has it in stock, the salesman promptly produces
it, and the business of trying it on follows at once. All being well, the deal can be and often is completed in
less than five minutes, with hardly any chat and to everyone"s satisfaction.
For a man, slight problems may begin when the shop doesn"t have what he wants. In that case the
salesman, as the name implies, tries to sell the customer something else, he offers the nearest he can to
the article required. No good salesman brings out such a substitute impolitely; he does so with skill: "I
know this jacket is not the style you want, sir, but would you like to try it for size? It happens to be the
colour you mentioned. "Few men have patience with this treatment, and the usual response is: "This is the
right colour and may be the right size, but I should be wasting my time and yours by trying it on."
Now how does a woman go about buying clothes? In almost every respect she does so in the
opposite way. Her shopping is not often based on need. She has never fully made up her mind what she
wants, and she is only "having a look round". She is always open to persuasion; indeed she sets great
store by what the saleswoman tells her, even by what companions tell her. She will try on any number of
things. Uppermost in her mind is the thought of finding something that everyone thinks suits her. Contrary
to a lot of jokes, most women have an excellent sense of value when they buy clothes. They are always
on the lock- out for the unexpected bargain. Faced with a roomful of dresses, a woman may easily spend
an hour going from one rail to another, to and fro, often retracing her steps, before selecting the dresses
she wants to try on. It is a laborious process, but apparently an enjoyable one. Most dress shops provide
chairs for the waiting husbands.

C. he does not mind how much he has to pay for the right things

D. They listen to advice but never take it.
B. He usually does not buy anything.
C. At least two of his requirements must be met before he buys.,
D. So long as the style is right, he buys the thing.
B. they should buy only the best clothes
C. they are much more sensible than men
D. they think of the price of clothes and nothing else
B. Women bargain for their clothes, but men do not.
C. Women stand up to shop, but men sit down.
D. The time they take over buying clothes.
