Sometimes you’ll hear people say that you can’t love

others until you love yourlf. Sometimes you’ll hear people say

that you can’t expect someone el to love you until you love

yourlf. Which statement do you prefer? Either way, you’ve got

to love yourlf 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 think that we

will go to the Olympics, but sometimes it’s probably struggling

to think such nice thoughts about ourlves. If you find that

believing in yourlf is a challenge, it is time for you to move a

step to a positive lf-image and learn to love yourlf.

Self-image is your own mind’s picture of yourlf. This

image includes the way you look, the way you act, the way you

talk and the way you think. Interestingly, statistics show that our

lf-images are often quite different from the images others hold

about us. Unfortunately, most of the images are more negative

than they should be and it ems we are much stricter with

ourlves. Thus changing the way you think about yourlf is the

key to strengthening the confidence and changing your lf-

image and your whole world.

The best way to defeat a passive lf-image and stay

confident is to step back and decide to stress your success.

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

lf-image becau you are usually too strict with yourlf or too

stubborn and can’t move past one flaw or weakness that you

e about yourlf. Well, roll up your sleeves and make a change

of it as your primary task. If you think you’re silly becau you

aren’t good at math, find a tutor. If you think you’re weak

becau you can’t run a mile, get to the track and practice. If

you think you’re dull becau you don’t wear the latest trends,

go straight to a shop to buy a few new clothes. But remember,

just becau you think it doesn’t mean it’s true.

The best way to get rid of a negative lf-image is to realize

that your image is far too subjective, and to actively convince

yourlf of your positive qualities. Changing the way you think

and the style of doing things and working on tho you need to

improve will go a long way towards promoting a positive lf-

image. When you can pat (拍) yourlf on the back, you’ll know

you’re well on your way. Never submit to your negative lf-

image! Good luck!

51. You need to build a positive lf-image when you ________.

A. dare to challenge yourlf B. feel it hard to change yourlf

C. are unconfident about yourlf D. have a high opinion of

yourlf

52. According to the passage, our lf-images ________.

A. have positive effects B. are probably untrue

C. are often changeable D. have different functions

53. How should you change your lf-image according to the

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.

54. What is the passage mainly about?

in your life.

C. How to build a positive lf-image. D. How to develop your

good qualities.

55. Who are the intended readers of the passage?

第II卷 (满分35分)

第一节：阅读表达(共5个小题，每小题2分，满分10分)

阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

Last week, my granddaughter started kindergarten, and I

wished her success. I was lying. What I actually wish for her is

failure. I believe in the power of failure.

Success is boring. Success is proving that you can do

something that you already know you can do, or doing

something correctly the first time, which can often be an

uncertain victory. First-time success is usually a piece of luck.

First-time failure, by contrast, is expected. It is the natural order

of things.

Failure is how we learn. I have been told of an African phra

describing a good cook as she who has broken many pots. If

you’ve spent enough time in the kitchen to have broken a lot of

pots, probably you know a lot about cooking. I once had a dinner

with a group of chefs, and they spent time comparing knife

wounds and burn scars. They knew how much certainty their

failures gave them.

I earn my living by writing a daily newspaper column. Each

week I am aware that

one column is going to be the worst column. I don’t t out

to write it. I try my best every day and I have learned to cherish

that column. Often in my columns of poor quality, I am trying to

get through something I’ve never done before, something I’m

not even sure can be done.

My younger daughter is a trapeze artist (荡秋千演员). She

spent three years putting together an act. She did it successfully

for years. There was no reason for her to change the act, but she

did anyway. She said she was no longer learning anything new

and she was bored.

So she changed the act. She risked failure and public

embarrassment in order to feed her soul. My granddaughter is a

perfectionist. She will feel her failures. I hope I can tell her, though,

that it isn’t the end of the world. Indeed, with luck, it is the

beginning.

56. What’s the writer’s lie to his granddaughter? (No more

than 6 words)

57. What does the writer want to express by giving the

experience of different people? (No more than 15 words)

58. What does the underlined phra “by contrast” mean?

(No more than 5 words)

59. Why does the writer’s daughter change the act? (No

more than 10 words)

60. Do you agree with the last two ntences “I hope I can

tell her, though, that it isn’t the end of the world. Indeed, with

luck, it is the beginning.”? Why or Why not? (No more than 25

words)

One possible version:

Dear Miss White,

I’m Li Hua, a student of No. 1 Middle School. I am writing

this letter to thank you for returning my wallet, ID card and so on.

On my way to the library last week, I lost my bag due to my

carelessness. In the bag were my wallet with some money, ID card

and other documents. As you know, my ID card and student card

are very important to me. I was very worried and even sleepless.

I was really at a loss when I was informed to go to the

Students’Union and take back what I had lost, where I learned

that it was you who picked up my bag and kindly handed it in

timely.

It was such a pleasant surpri that I’d like to express my

thanks to you. What a good example you have t for me to learn

from!

Best wishes.
