Five Ways to Build Self-Confidence

Walk Faster.

One of the easiest ways to tell how a person feels about herself is to examine her walk. People with confidence walk quickly. They have places to go, people to see, or important work to do. Even if you aren’t in a hurry, you can increase your self-confidence by putting some energy in your step. 【1】.

【2】One of the best ways to build confidence is listening to an inspiring speech. Unluckily, chances to listen to a great speaker are few. You can fill this need by creating a personal speech. Write a 30~60-second speech that focuses on your strengths and goals then recite it aloud whenever you need a confidence push.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】B

【2】F

【3】G

【4】A

【5】D

【解析】

试题分析：本文属于说明文，主要介绍了塑造自信心的方法。作者告诉我们你可以通过大声说出来、走路更快些、坐前排等方式树立自信心。

【1】B 根据第一段标题Walk Faster可知和步行walk有关，B和C项二选一，又因小标题Walk Faster建议我们要以更快的速度步行，故选B项“Walking 25% faster will make you look and feel more important.”与本段中心思想一致。

【2】F 根据本段第一、二句One of the best ways to build confidence is listening to an inspiring speech. Unluckily, chances to listen to a great speaker are few.可知听令人激励的演讲的机会不多，所以E项错误。再根据第三句You can fill this need by creating a personal speech，可知作者建议我们自己创造这样的演讲。故F项正确。

【3】G 根据本段标题Sit in the Front Row.作者建议我们坐在前排。根据横线前句offices and some other public places people always sit at the back of the room人们总是喜欢坐在后排，主要是因为缺乏自信，害怕被老师注意到。所以G项“Most people prefer that because they’re afraid of being noticed.”与上下文一致。

【4】A 根据横线前句“During group discussions many people never express their opinions because they’re afraid that people will judge them for their saying something stupid.”在讨论中人们很少发表自己的看法，因为他们害怕自己说出错话影响别人对他们的评价。而这时很多人共同的问题，故A项“In fact most people are dealing with the same fear.”符合上下文串联。

【5】D 本段的标题是“Work out锻炼”建议人们多锻炼保持时态健康。健康与自信有很大的关系。根据前句“physical fitness has huge effect on self-confidence”可知健康与人的健康有很大关系。故D项“If you’re out of shape, you’ll feel unattractive and less energetic”符合上下文串联。
