Sometimes you’ll hear people say that you can’t love others until you love yourself. Sometimes you’ll 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 Unc le 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 learnt 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 practi ce. 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 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(拍) yourself on the back, you’ll know you’re well on your way. Good luck!
58. You need to build a positive self-image when you ______.
A. dare to challenge yourself
B. feel it hard to change yourself
C. are unconfident about yourself
D. have a high opinion of yourself
59. How should you change your self-image according to the passage?
A. To keep a different image of others.
B. To make your life successful.
C. To understand your own world.
D. To change the way you think about yourself.
60. What is the passage mainly about?
A. How to prepare for your success.
B. How to face challenges in your life.
C. How to build a positive self-image.
D. How to develop your good qualities.
61. Who are the intended readers of the passage?
A. Parents.
B. Adolescents.
C. Educators.
D. People in general.
D
If you woke up this Monday feeling depressed and found that, from then on, things got worse, there may be an explanation. According to one psychologist’s (心理学家) calculations, January 23 was the most depressing day of the year for the British.
Cliff Arnall, a psychologist at Cardiff University who worked out the formula (公式), blamed a combination of debts, failed New Year’s plans, the cold, grey weather and the
length of time since Christmas. “For most people, there’s a realization by the third week of January that spending on sales items needs to be stopped so that Christmas can be paid for, ” he said.
Those employees who are paid at the end of the month have had a long wait to refill their pockets, he said. “Nearing pay day may seem like a positive thing, but it may als o result in increased stress as the person realizes they won’t be able to pay off their Christmas bills. ”
“The last week in January and first week in February are traditionally the coldest times of the year. ” The average amount of sunshine for January was only 43 hours—less than an hour and a half a day.
The Citizens Advice Bureau (公民咨询局) and Samaritans (慈善机构撒马利坦会) both agreed that this was their busiest time of the year. Don Levene, a CAB spokesman, said, “People are getting their credit card bills and may have spent more than th ey can afford. Most people were paid a week early before Christmas which makes January particularly long money-wise. ” Mike Cobb, of the Samaritans, said, “We get more calls from people feeling depressed or suicidal (想自杀的) at this time of year. There is seasonal affective disorder because of the lack of sunlight, and people are returning to the worries that they put behind them at Christmas. ”
62. Why do employees feel depressed when the pay day in January is coming?
A. Because January usually doesn’t have the pay day as a rule.
B. Because they’ll have little left after paying off the Christmas debts.
C. Because the boss will always keep back the pay.
D. Because they’ll have to wait another month to get paid.
63. Which of the following is not the cause for their being depressed?
A. Having to pay off the Christmas bills.
B. Failure in their New Year’s plans.
C. A long period of time from next Christmas.
D. Cold, grey weather.
64. What does the underlined word “money-wise” in the last paragraph mean?
A. In terms of money.
B. Spending money wisely.
C. Living without money.
D. In terms of wisdom.
65. The last paragraph mainly tells us _________.
A. possible causes of people’s feeling depressed
B. the bad effects of Christmas day on people’s life
C. the unwise plans of the British
D. reasons for bad weather in Britain

第六部分任务型阅读 (共10小题; 每小题1分，满分10分)
请认真阅读下列短文, 并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。
注意：每个空格只填一个单词。
Many people think a telephone is a necessity. But I think it is a pest (有害的事物) and a time waste. Very often you find it impossible to escape from it. If you have a telephone in your own house, you will admit that it tends to ring when you least want it to ring; when you are aslee p, or in the middle of a meal or a conversation or when you are just going out, or when you are in your bath. Are you strong-minded enough to ignore it? You are not. You think there may be some important news or message for you. I can assure you that if a message is really important it will reach you sooner or later. Have you ever rushed
crippling from the bath, or chewing from the table, or dazed from the bed, only to be told that you are a wrong number?
But you will say, you need not have your name printed in the telephone directory, and you can have a telephone which is only usable for outgoing calls. Besides, you will say, isn’t it important to have a telephone in case of sudden emergency—illness, accident, or fire? Of course, you are right, but here in a thickly populated country like England, one is seldom far from a telephone in case of dreadful necessity.
I think perhaps I had better try to justify (证明……是有理的) myself by trying to prove that what I like is good. I admit that in different circumstances—if I were a wealthy and powerful businessperson, for instance, or badly ill and had to lie in bed, I might find a telephone a necessity. But then if I were a taxi driver I should find a car as necessity. Let me put it another way: there are two things for which the English seem to show particular talent: one is mechanical invention, the other literature. My own business happens to be with the use of words but I see I must now stop using them, for I have had just been handed a slip of paper to say that somebody is waiting to speak to me on the telephone. I think I had better answer it. After all, one never knows, it may be something important.

How to communicate with our parents
Hello, everyone, I’d like to share with you my ideas about this topic.
Parents are the peo ple who love us most, so it’s necessary to keep a good relationship with them. Here are my ideas on how to make it easier to communicate with parents.
First, we should respect and trust our parents. Don’t be rude to them even if they have done something wrong. They have experienced more and always try their best to protect us from dangers. Second, if we often talk with them about our life and experience, we will know each other better. Third, if sometimes we don’t agree with our parents’ decision, we should try to put ourselves into their shoes and we will soon understand them.
Thank you for listening.。
