1.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 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 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 practice. If you think you"re dull because you don"t wear the latest trends, buy a few new clothes.
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 yourself on the back, you"ll know you"re well on your way.

A.dare to challenge yourself

7.Do you want to live with a strong sense of peacefulness, happiness, goodness, and self-respect? The collection of happiness actions broadly categorized as "honor" help you create this life of good feelings.
Here"s an example to show how honorable actions create happiness.
Say a store clerk fails to charge us for an item. If we keep silent, and profit from the clerk"s mistake, we would drive home with a sense of sneaky excitement. Later we might tell our family or friends about our good fortune. On the other hand, if we tell the clerk about the uncharged item, the clerk would be grateful and thank us for our honesty. We would leave the store with a quiet sense of honor that we might never share with another soul.
Then, what is it to do with our sense of happiness?
In the first case, where we don"t tell the clerk, a couple of things would happen. Deep down inside we would know ourselves as a type of thief. In the process, we would lose some peace of mind and self-respect. We would also demonstrate that we cannot be trusted, since we advertise our dishonor by telling our family and friends. We damage our own reputations by telling others. In contrast, bringing the error to the clerk"s attention causes different things to happen. Immediately the clerk knows us to be honorable. Upon leaving the store, we feel honorable and our self-respect is increased. Whenever we take honorable actions we gain the deep internal rewards of goodness and a sense of nobility.
There is a beautiful positive cycle that is created by living a life of honorable actions. Honorable thoughts lead to honorable actions. Honorable actions lead us to a happier existence. And It"s easy to think and act honorably again when we"re happy. While the positive cycle can be difficult to start, once it"s started, it"s easy to continue. Keeping on doing good deeds brings us peace of mind, which is important for our happiness.
According to the passage, the positive action in the example contributes to our______.
A.self-respect
B.financial rewards
C.a(chǎn)dvertising ability
D.friendly relationship

C.We"ll have a sense of honor.

13." Sesame Street" (芝麻街) has been called "the longest street in the world". That is because the television program by that name can now be seen in so many parts of the world. That program became one of America"s exports soon after it went on the air in the New York in 1969.
In the United States more than six million children watch the program regularly. The viewers include more than half of the nation"s pre-school children. Although some educators object to certain elements in the program, parents praise it highly. Many teachers also consider it a great help, though some teachers find that problems arise when first graders who have learned from "Sesame Street" are in the same class with children who have not watched the program.
The program uses songs, stories, jokes and pictures to give children a basic understanding of numbers, letters and human relationships. Tests have shown that children have benefited from watching "Sesame Street". Those who watch five times a week learn more than the occasional viewers. In the United States the program is shown at different times during the week in order to increase the number of children who can watch it regularly.
Why has "Sesame Street" been so much more successful than other children"s shows? Many reasons have been suggested. People mention the educational theories of its creators, the support by the government and private businesses, and the skillful use of a variety of TV tricks. Perhaps an equally important reason is that mothers watch "Sesame Street" along with their children. This is partly because famous adult stars often appear on "Sesame Street". But the best reason for the success of the program may be that it makes every child watching it feel able to learn. The child finds himself learning, and he wants to learn more.
Why has "Sesame Street" been called "the longest street in the world"?
A.The program has been shown ever since 1969.
B.The program became one of America"s major exports soon after it appeared on TV.
C.The program is now being watched in most parts of the world.
D.The program is made in the longest street in New York.
14.
Some educators are critical of the program because______.
A.they don"t think it fit for children in every respect
B.it takes the children too much time to watch it
C.it causes problems between children who have watched it and those who have not
D.some parents attach too much importance to it
15.
So many children in the United States watch the program because______.
A.it uses songs, stories and jokes to give them basic knowledge
B.it is arranged for most children to watch it regularly
C.tests have shown that it is beneficial to them
D.both A and B
16.
Mothers often watch the program along with their children because______.
A.they enjoy the program as much as their children
B.they find their children have benefited from watching the program
C.they are attracted by some famous adult stars on the show
D.they can learn some educational theories from the program
17.
What is the most important reason for the success of the program according to the author?

B.The young viewers find they can learn something from it.
C.Famous adult stars often appear in the program.
D.It gets support from the government and private businesses.
19.You will have no difficulty in making contact with the Agent. As you enter his office, you will be greeted immediately and politely asked what you are looking for. The Estate Agent"s Negotiator (房地產(chǎn)推銷員) —as he is called—will probably check that you really know your financial position. No harm in that, but you can always tell him that you have confirmed the position with the XYZ Building Society. He will accept that.
He will show you the details of a whole range of properties; many of them are not really what you are looking for at all. That does not matter. Far better turn them down than risk missing the right one.
The printed details he will give you are called " particulars". Over the years, a whole language has grown up, solely for use in Agent"s particulars. It is flowery, ornate (華麗的) and, providing you read it carefully and discount the adjectives, it can be very accurate and helpful.
Since the passing of the Trades Description Act, any trader trying to sell something has had to be very careful as to what they say about it. Estate Agents have, by now, become very competent at going as far as they dare. For instance, it is quite acceptable to say "delightfully situated". That is an expression of his opinion. You may not agree, but he might like the idea of living next to the gasworks. If, on the other hand, he says that the house has five bedrooms when, in fact, it has only two, that is a misstatement of fact and is an offence. This has made Estate Agents, and others for that matter, rather more careful.
Basically, all that you need to know about a house is: how many bedrooms it has; an indication of their size; whether the house has a garage; whether there is a garden and whether it is at the back or the front of the house; whether it is semi-detached or terraced (聯(lián)排的) .
The Estate Agent"s Negotiator will______.
A.want all the details of your financial circumstances
B.want to satisfy himself that you understand the financial implications of buying a house
C.check your financial position with the XYZ Building Society
D.a(chǎn)ccept any statement you make about your financial position
20.
The author believes______.
A.it is better to be given information about too many properties than too few
B.you should only look at details of properties of the kind you have decided to buy
C.the agent will only show you the details of properties you have in mind
D.it doesn"t matter if you miss a few properties you may be interested in
21.
The adjectives in Agent"s particulars are______.
A.a(chǎn)ccurate
B.helpful
C.both accurate and helpful
D.safe to ignore
22.
The Trades Description Act applies to______.
A.house agents only
B.most estate agents
C.a(chǎn)ny trader
