Question

【题目】Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题）

Everyone has good days and bad days.

Sometimes, you may feel that you're on top of the world and all the questions on your maths test might seem easy. But sometimes you feel frightened or you lose things, and you cannot focus on your school work.

For more than 20 years, scientists have suggested that high self-esteem（自尊）is the key to success. They said that kids who feel good about themselves do better in school and have fewer emotional problems than kids who have a low opinion of themselves.

Now, new research shows that focusing just on building self-esteem may not be helpful. In some cases, having high self-esteem can bring bad results if it makes you less likeable（可爱的）or more upset when you fail at something.

"Forget about self-esteem," says Jennifer Crocker, a psychologist at the University of Michigan, US. "It's not the important thing. " Crockery's advice may sound a bit strange because it is good to feel good about oneself. Studies show that people with high self-esteem are less likely to be sad, anxious, shy, or lonely than those with low self-esteem.

But, after reviewing about 18,000 studies on self-esteem, Roy Baumeister, a psychologist at Florid a State University, has found that building up your self-esteem will not necessarily make you a better person. People with high self-esteem tend to think more of themselves while people with low self-esteem are more likely to rely on their friends when they need help.

Researchers say it is best to listen to and support other people. Set out to create or build something. If you fail at something, try to learn from the experience. "The best therapy（药方）is to know your own weak points," Vohs says. "It's OK to say, 'I'm not so good at that,' and then move on. "

【解析】

这是一篇有关心理学知识的短文，最新研究表明“盲目的、过分的自信是不可取的”。

【1】根据For more than 20 years, scientists have suggested that high self-esteem（自尊）is the key to success.可知，20多年来，科学家一直认为，高度的自尊心是成功的关键。故填High self-esteem.

【2】根据They said that kids who feel good about themselves do better in school and have fewer emotional problems than kids who have a low opinion of themselves. 可知，科学家们说自我感觉良好的孩子在学校表现更好，情绪问题也比自我评价低的孩子少，也就是说自我评价低的孩子会有更多的情绪问题，所以此处用肯定回答。故填Yes, they do.

【3】根据In some cases, having high self-esteem can bring bad results if it makes you less likeable（可爱的）or more upset when you fail at something. 可知，在某些情况下，当你在某件事情上失败时，过高的自尊心会使你变得不讨人喜欢或者更加沮丧，从而带来不好的结果，所以此处是当我们在某些事情上失败时，过高的自尊心会给我们带来不好的结果。故填When we fail at something.

【4】根据"Forget about self-esteem," says Jennifer Crocker, a psychologist at the University of Michigan, US.可知，“忘掉自尊吧”密歇根大学的心理学家珍尼佛·克罗克说道，所以此处克罗克的建议是忘掉自尊。故填Forget about self-esteem.

【5】根据People with high self-esteem tend to think more of themselves while people with low self-esteem are more likely to rely on their friends when they need help. 可知，自尊心强的人往往更看重自己，而自尊心弱的人在需要帮助时更容易依赖朋友，所以此处是当自尊心弱的人需要帮助时更偏向于依赖自己的朋友。故填They are more likely to rely on their friends.

【6】本题为开放性题目，答案言之有理即可。根据The best therapy（药方）is to know your own weak points.可知，最好的药方就是知道自己的弱点，也就是说我们如果在某事上失败了，我们可以从这次失败的经历中总结经验教训，因为经验是最好的老师。故填I think it's right. Because experience is the best teacher.
