It is important to usethe language in the best way possible in order to dramatically improve ourquality of life.2 Even the smallest of words can have the deepest effect on our subconsciousmind, which is like a child, and it doesn't really understand the differencebetween what really happens and what you imagine. (1)It is eager to please andwilling to carry out any commands that you give it - whether you do thisknowingly or not is entirely up to you."Try"3 It is a small word yet it has an amazing impact upon us. If someone says,"I'll try to do that" you know that they are not going to be putting their wholeheart into it, and may not even do it at all. (2)How often do you use the wordtry when talking about the things that matter to you? Do you say "I'll try to bemore confident" or "I'll try to do that" or "I'll try to call"?4 Think about something that you would like to achieve, and say it to yourselfin two different ways. Firstly say, "I'll try to …" and notice how you feel.Next say, "I will do …" and see how you feel.5 (3)The latter makes you feel better than the first one, doesn't it? It givesyou a sense of determination, a feeling that it will be done. Listen to thepeople around you and when they say they will try notice if it gets done or not.Eliminate the word try from your dictionary and see how your life improves.（承上句）本部分重点及难点：显示重难点解析1.

如：The ache in his back lasted for two days. 他的背痛了两天。

The boy cried with pain. 这男孩痛得哭了起来由于ache 通常用于指局部的持续性疼痛，所以它经常与某些表示身体部位的词构成合成词，表示身体的某处疼痛(此时通常不用pain)。

I didn't want to do anything that resembled responsible behavior. It was that kind of day.（承上总结句）②As I drank my morning tea, I thought I felt a headache coming on. Yes, there it was, a dull throb just behind my eyes. Maybe I should go back to bed until it subsided. As I put the dishes in the sink, it seemed that my muscles were beginning to ache.

I should try to crack（找到解决办法）the report I was working on. I should at least get up and do the wash. What if I was contagious? I certainly didn't want to spread any germs. The wash could wait. (2)My family was resourceful enough toscrounge clothing for the next day.⑥Maybe I wasn't actually getting the flu. I didn't really want to be sick. To be truthful, all I wanted was a little time off. (3)I needed to nurture myself away from people, chores, career and the outside world. Did I have to wait to be sick to do that? As a child, the only respite from school or family chores was illness. But I wasn't a child any more. (4)Did I have to manufacture symptoms to provide myself with an excuse? No, I decided, I didn't.本部分重点及难点：2.

Lots of people have trouble adjusting, and this can affect theirself-esteem.3 Why Are Self-Esteem and Body Image Important?Self-esteem is all about how much people value themselves, the pride they feelin themselves, and how worthwhile they feel. Self-esteem is important becausefeeling good about yourself can affect how you act. A person who has highself-esteem will make friends easily, is more in control of his orher behavior,and will enjoy life more.Body image is how someone feels about his or her ownphysical appearance. Formany people, especially those in their early teens, body image can be closelylinked to self-esteem. That's because as kids develop into teens, they care moreabout how others see them.（承上句）4 What Influences a Person's Self-Esteem?PubertySome teens struggle with their self-esteem when they begin puberty because thebody goes through many changes. (1)These changes, combined with a natural desireto feel accepted, mean it can be tempting for people to compare themselves withothers.

Yes, there it was, a dull throb just behind my eyes. Maybe I should go back to bed until it subsided. As I put the dishes in the sink, it seemed that my muscles were beginning to ache. Or was the ache inmy joints? That could mean I was coming down with the flu.（承上启下句） Everyone I knew had the flu this year. Why should I be the one to escape it?

To betruthful, all I wanted was a little time off. (3)I needed to nurture myself away from people,chores, career and the outside world. Did I have to wait to be sick to do that?

不要把别人认为重要的目标当作是自己的目标，只有你自己才知道什么是最适合你的。

不要整天生活在对过去的回忆或者将来的憧憬里，让日子从指缝悄悄溜走。

而应该生活在当下，生活在生命中的每一天。

不要不敢承认自己不够完美，正是脆弱的天性将我们紧紧联系在一起。

不要让时光虚度，自己都不知道曾经去过哪里，也不知道要去哪里。

不要忘记一个人最大的情感需求就是感到自己得到了赏识。

不要浪费时间和话语，因为这些东西一旦失去就不可以复得。

What do you think is active reading?2.What suggestions do you expect the author will give on reading critically?Critical ReadingCritical reading applies to non-fiction writing in which the author puts forth a position or seeks to make a statement. Critical reading is active reading. It involves more than just understanding what an author is saying. Critical reading involves questioning and evaluating what the author is saying ,and forming your own opinions about what the author is saying. Here are the things you should do to be a critical reader.批判性阅读批判性阅读适合于那种作者提出一个观点或试图陈述一个说法的纪实类写作。

批判性阅读是积极阅读。

它不仅仅包括理解作者说了些什么，还包括质疑和评价作者的话，并对此形成自己的观点。

成为一名批判性阅读者需要做到以下几点。

Consider the context of what is written. You may be reading something that was written by an author from a different cultural context than yours. Or, you may be reading something written some time ago in a different time context than yours. In either case, you must recognize and take into account any differences between your values and attitudes and those represented by the author.考虑写作背景。
