It’s never easy to admit you are in the wrong. Being human, we all need to know the art of 31 . Look back with honesty and think how often you’ve judged 32 , said unkind things, pushed yourself ahead at the 33 of a friend. Then count the occasions 34 you indicated clearly and truly that you were 35 . A bit frightening, isn’t it? Frightening because some deep 36 in us knows that when even a small wrong has been 37 , some mysterious moral feeling is disturbed; and it stays out of balance until fault is acknowledged and 38 is expressed.
I remember a doctor friend, the late Clarence Lieb, telling me about a man who came to him with a variety of 39 : headaches, insomnia and stomach trouble. No 40 cause could be found. Finally my friend said to the man, “ 41 you tell me what’s worrying you, I can’t help you.” After some 42 , the man confessed that, as executor of his father’s will, he had been 43 his brother, who lived abroad, of his inheritance (继承权). Then and there the wise old doctor made the man write to his brother 44 forgiveness and enclosing a cheque as the first step in restoring their good 45 . He then went with him to mail box in the corridor. As the letter disappeared, the man 46 crying. “Thank you,” He said, “I think I’m 47 .” And he was. A heartfelt apology can not only heal a damaged relationship but also make it 48 . If you can think of someone who 49 an apology from you, someone you have wronged, or just neglected, do something about it 50 .

“If there is one thing I’m sure about, it is that in a hundred years from now we will still be reading newspapers. It is not that newspapers are a necessity. Even now some people get most of their news from television or radio. Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday. But for most people reading a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation.
The nature of what is news may change. What basically makes news is what affects our lives — the big political stories, the coverage of the wars, earthquakes and other disasters, will continue much the same. I think there will be more coverage of scientific research, though. It’s already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives, like genetic engineering. In the future, I think there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do — as we develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what our feelings really are.
It’s quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted(传送) electronically from Fleet Street and printed out in our own home. In fact, I’m pretty sure that how it will happen in the future. You will probably be able to choose from a menu, making up your own newspaper by picking out the things you want to read — sports and international news, etc.
I think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition between the different media. They actually feed off each other. Some people once foresaw that television would kill off newspapers, but that hasn’t happened. What is read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures on a screen or sound lost in the air. And as for the Internet, it’s never really pleasant to read something just on a screen.
31. What is the best title for the passage?
A. The Best Way to Get News B. The Changes of Media
C. Make Your Own Newspaper D. The Future of Newspaper
32. In the writer’s opinion, in the future, _______.
A. more big political affairs, wars and disasters will make news
B. newspapers will not be printed in publishing houses any longer
C. newspapers will cover more scientific research
D. more and more people will watch TV
33. What will probably be on in the newspaper made by yourself?
A. Sports and international news. B. A menu of important news.
C. The most important news. D. What you are interested in.
34. From the passage, we can infer _______.
A. newspapers will win the competition among the different media
B. newspapers will stay with us together with other media
C. television will take the place of newspaper
D. the writer believe some media will die out

Self-esteem is all about how much we are valued, loved, accepted, and thought well of by others and how much we value, love and accept ourselves. People with healthy self-esteem are able to do better in school and find it easier to make friends. They tend to have better relationships with others, feel happier, find it easier to deal with mistakes and failures, and are more likely to stick to something until they succeed. People with low self-esteem may feel as if no one will like them or accept them or that they can’t do well in anything.
The following ways may help you improve your self-esteem.
Try to stop thinking negative thoughts about yourself. If you’re used to focusing on your shortcomings, start thinking about positive aspects of yourself that outweigh them. It is good to aim high, but your goals for yourself should be within reach. That’s why you should set practical goals and never expect the impossible. Mistakes are part of learning, so view mistakes as learning opportunities. Accept that you make mistakes because everyone does.
Also, you should recognize what you can change and what you can’t. If you realize that you’re unhappy with something about yourself, you can change and start from today. If it’s something you can’t change (like your height), start to work toward loving yourself the way you are.
Feeling like you’re making a difference or that your help is valued can do wonders to improve your self-esteem. So don’t hesitate to make a contribution. You can lend a hand to a classmate who’ s having trouble, help your neighborhood clean up, or volunteer to do some other things.
Self-esteem plays a role in almost everything you do. It’s never too late to build healthy self-esteem. It takes some work, and it’s a necessary skill you’ll have for life.
1. The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refers to “______”.
A. your classmates B. your shortcomings
C. your strong points D. your goals

A. Setting high goals similar to others’.
B. Never forgiving yourself for your mistakes.
C. Lending a hand to a classmate in trouble.

A. the old tend to have healthier self-esteem than the young
B. we should build healthy self-esteem when young
C. there are more people with low self-esteem
D. it is not easy to build healthy self-esteem

科目:高中英语 来源:2011年河南省南阳市高一春期期末考试英语题 题型:阅读理解
Do you have a dream, something you always see yourself doing? Perhaps you see yourself as a lawyer, businessman, or even a scientist. Whatever it is, don’t let it die.
A dream is a wonderful thing. It can give you hope for your future and encourage you to try when all odds are against you.
However, there are dream killers that want to kill your dream. They may tell you that it is impossible for you, that you are not smart enough or that it’s never been done before. However, many times the biggest dream killer is yourself.
Don’t let fear, doubt or lack of finances prevent you from fulfilling(实现) your dream. Talk back to these killers, “I can and fulfill my dream.” You may have to do this every day. The more often you talk to your heart that you can do it, the more safely your dream will be held within you.
It is very important to take steps towards fulfilling your dream. For me, in order to fulfill my dream of one-day owning my own magazine, I needed to go back to school and finish my college degree. For you, it may be something different. You know deep inside what the voice of your dream calls for. Don’t be afraid and just do it. Try not to let too much time go by. Time is another one of those dream killers.
Think about the words of a song by Yolanda Adams, “Keep the dream alive. Don’t let it die. If something deep inside keeps inspiring you to try, don’t stop. And never give up. Don’t ever give up on you. Sometimes, life can place a stumbling block in your way. But you have to keep the faith.”
When you dream, dream big and never give up. Your dream is just yours. Never let anyone tell you that your dream can’t happen -- it can! Keep seeing yourself do what’s never been done before. As you continue to feed your dream and protect it, not only will you keep it alive, but it will come true.
1.What does the underlined words “all odds are against you” in Parragraph 2 mean?
A. You are in hopeless situation.
B. You find everything seems strange.
C. You are not feeling quite well.
D. You have all your friends against you.
2.What did the author dream of doing?
A. Getting his own book published B. Owing a colledge degree
C. Becoming a writer D. Publishing his own magazine
3. What do we learn from Paragraph 5?
A. It takes money to fulfill our dream.
B. The first step is to know our dream.
C. It is important for us to take action.
D. We should not listen to the call of our heart.
4. The words of Yolanda Adams’song are mentioned in the text .
A.to support his main point
B.to make his writing interesting
C.to show they share the same view
D.to mean Yolanda Adams is popular
