AIn American schools there is something called Homecoming Day. Many high schools and colleges with a football team have a homecoming game. This can be the most important event of the year except graduation or commencement (毕业典礼)Day. Students plan Homecoming Day many weeks in advance.Several days before Homecoming, students start to decorate the school. There are signs to wish luck to the team, and many other signs to welcome all the graduates. Many people still come to Homecoming twenty or thirty years after their graduation.The members of school clubs build booths(售货棚) and sell lemonade(柠檬汽水),apples and sandwiches. Some clubs help to welcome visitors.During the day alumni and their wives will gather at the school. They like to look for teachers that they remember. Often they see old friends and they talk together about those happy years in school.Everyone soon comes to watch the football game.

Sometimes you’ll hear people say that you can’t expect someone else to love you untilyou love yourself. Either way, you’ve got to love yourself first and this can be tricky.Surely we all know tha t we’re the apple of our parents’ eyes, and that our Grandmas thinkwe’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 build a positive self-image and learnto 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-imagesare often quite different from the images others hold about us. Unfortunately, most of theseimages are more negative than they should be. Thus changing the way you think about yourselfis 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 youdo 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’tmove past one flaw or weakness that you see about yourself. Well, roll up your sleeves andmake a change of it as your primary task. If you think you’re silly because you aren’tgood a t math, find a tutor. If you think you’re weak because you can’t run a mile, getto 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’strue.The best way to get rid of a negative self-image is to realize that your image is farfrom objective, and to actively convince yourself of your positive qualities. Changing theway you think and working on those you need to improve will go a long way towards promotinga positive self-image. When you can pat yourself on the back, you’ll know you’re wellon your way. Good luck!4. What is the passage mainly about?A. How to face challenges in your life.B.

Although they have an equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy, while the other becomes unhappy. This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons and events and the resulting effects upon their minds.People who are happy fix their attention on the convenience of things. They enjoy all cheerful things. Those who are unhappy think and speak only of unpleasant things. Through their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind is founded in nature, such unhappy people should be pitied. The intention of criticizing and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation(模仿). It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it can be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects.Although this attitude is mainly an act of the imagination, it has serious results since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. If such people aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone speak a word in favor of their hopes. If they are criticized, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join in criticizing their wrong doings. So they should change this bad habit and stop worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact with them. Otherwise, they will have a disagreeable time, especially when someone becomes mixed up in their quarrels.12. How does the writer tell the happy from the unhappy?A.
