A popular saying goes, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” However, that’s not really true.Words have the power to build us up or tear us down.It doesn’t matter if the words come from someone’s else or ourselves --- the positive and negative effects are just as lasting.
We all talk to ourselves sometimes.We’re usually too embarrassed to admit it, though.In fact, we really shouldn’t be because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit.
This “self-talk” helps us motivate ourselves, remember things, solve problems, and calm ourselves down.Be aware, though, that as much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negative.So in order to stay positive, we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves.We should also be quick to give ourselves a pat on the back.The next time you finish a project, do well in a test, or finally clean your room, join me in saying “Good job!”
Often, words come out of our mouths without us thinking about the effect they will have.But we should be aware that our words cause certain responses in others.For example, when returning an item to a store, we might use warm, friendly language during the exchange.And the clerk will probably respond in a similar manner.Or harsh(刻薄的)and critical language will most likely cause the clerk to be defensive.
Words possess power because of their lasting effect.Many of us regret something we once said.And we remember unkind words said to us! Before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: Is it loving? Is it needed? If what we want to say doesn’t pass this test, then it’s better left unsaid.
Words possess power: both positive and negative.Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively.We can offer hope, build self-esteem(自尊)and motivate others to do their best.Negative words destroy all those things.Will we use our words to hurt or to heal? The choice is ours.
The main idea of the first paragraph is that ________.
A.not sticks and stones but words will hurt us
B.inspiring words give us confidence
C.negative words may let us down
D.words have a lasting effect on us
There is no sense for us to feel embarrassed when we talk to ourselves because _______
A.almost everybody has the habit of talking to themselves
B.we can benefit from talking to ourselves
C.talking to ourselves always gives us courage
D.it does no harm to have “self-talk” when we are alone
The underlined part in the third paragraph means that we should also timely _______ .
A.praise ourselves B.remind ourselves
C.make ourselves relaxed D.give ourselves amusement
The author would probably hold the view that ___________
A.encouraging words are sure to lead to kind offers

Happy birthday! Do birthday really make people happy? Of course they do.Birthday celebrate the day when we were born.Besides, that extra candle on the cake suggest another year of growth and maturity(成熟)—or so we hope.We all like to imagine that we are getting wiser and not just older.Most of us enjoy seeing the wonder of growth in others, as well.For instance, seeing our children develop and learn new things makes us feel proud.For Americans, like people in most cultures, growing up is a wonderful process.But growing old? That is a different story.
Growing old is not exactly for people in youth-oriented(以年轻人为中心)American culture.Most Americans like to look young, act young and feel young.As the old saying goes, “You’re young as you feel.” Older people joke about how many years young they are, rather than how many years old.People in some countries value the aged as a source of experience and wisdom.But Americans seem to favor those that are young, or at least “young at heart”.
Many older Americans find the “golden years” to be anything but golden.Economically, “senior citizens” often struggle just to get by.Retirement at the age of 65 brings a sharp decrease in personal income.Social security benefits usually cannot make up the difference.Older people may suffer from poor nutrition, medical care, and housing.Some even experience age discrimination(歧视).American sociologist Pat Moore once dressed up like an older person and wandered city streets.She was often treated rudely--even cheated and robbed.However, dressed as a young person, she received much more respect.
Unfortunately, the elderly population in America is increasing fast.Why? People are living longer.Fewer babies are being born.And middle-aged “baby boomers” are rapidly entering the group of the elderly.America may soon be a place where wrinkles(皱纹)are “in”.Marketing experts are ready noticing this growing group of consumer.
