If you think you might have low self-esteem(自尊), try talking to an adult you trust about it.  56  Here are a few things that you can try to increase your self-esteem.

57   It can be anything from drawing or singing to playing a sport or telling a good joke. If you’re having trouble with your list, ask your mom or dad to help you with it. Then add a few things to the list that you’d like to be good at. Your mom or dad can help you plan a way to work on these skills or talents.

58   Don’t just say, “I’m so great.” Be specific about something good about yourself. “I was a good friend to Jill today” or “I did better on that test than I thought I would.”While you’re at it, before you go to bed every night, list three things in your day that really made you happy.

Remember that your body is your own,no matter what shape, size,or color it is. If you are worried about your weight or size, you can check with your doctor to make sure that things are OK. Remind yourself of things about your body that are cool, like, “  59  ”

Remember that there are things about yourself you can’t change. You should accept and love these things ---such as skin color and shoe size---because they are part of you.

60  When you do this, you take the power away from the voice inside that discourages you.

A. Give yourself three praises every day.

B. The more self-esteem you have , the better.

C. When you hear negative comments, tell yourself to stop.

D. Make a list of what you’re good at.

E. My legs are strong and I can skate really well

F. He or she may help you come up with some good ideas.

G. I feel sad when my friend doesn’t play with me.

    It was a winter morning, just a couple of weeks before Christmas 2005. While most people were warming up their car, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. On arrival , he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone.

The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries(食品杂货)，saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live.

I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before. People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity(人性) as a whole. And it has influenced us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share with others. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting.

52. Why was the bike so important to the couple?

  A. The man’s job was bike racing.         B. It was their only possession.

  C. It was a nice Kona 18 speed.           D. They used it for work and daily life.

53. We can infer from the text that _______

A. the couple worked 60 hours a week.   B. people were busy before Christmas

C. the stranger brought over the bike     D. life was hard for the young family.

54. How did people get to know the couple’s problem?

A. From radio broadcasts.              B. From a newspaper.

C. From TV news.                    D. From a stranger.

55. What do the couple learn from their experience?

A. Strangers are usually of little help.  B. One should take care of their bike.

C. News reports make people famous.  D. An act of kindness can mean a lot.

In 2012, a new TV reality show became an instant hit with audiences and forever changed the landscape of Chinese television broadcasting. Within a few hours of its first live broadcast on July 13, “The Voice of China” managed to capture the viewers’ attention and hearts.

“The Voice of China”, China’s adaptation of a Dutch reality talent show, sees its hopeful contestants going through a blind audition (试唱)，with four celebrity (名人)coaches picking their teams of singers who will then go on to compete for a recording contract and a highly publicized concert performance.

The show turned out to be an unexpected success, especially at a time when the TV market is basically oversaturated (过饱和的）due to the large numbers of reality talent shows similar to western programs that are coming to viewers on a daily basis , like “American Idol”, “X-Factor” and “You’ve Got Talent.”

In the Chinese edition ,a coach will ask a fellow musician to come to help him or her decide which contestant to pick. Na Ying chose Wang Feng, Liu chose San Bao, Yu chose music producer Wang Chi-ping and Yang chose Coco Lee.

“It’s not a program, it’s a campaign,” the memo said, “We want to bring back China’s belief in music and restore the people’s cultural confidence.”

Summarized why the show is so fascinating, Jin Lei said,” China’s top singing and recording artists can have a dialogue with average people here , but at the same time they don’t know what they are going to get.”

“This is like the Roman Colosseum, people have to fight to change their life. This is where the dramatic tension lies in,”he added.

49.What do we learn from Paragraph 1?

  A. A Chinese new TV play series became popular with the viewers.

  B. The Chinese new TV play series changed the viewers’ attention and hearts.

  C. A Chinese new TV programme first launched on July 13, 2012

  D. The first live broadcast of “The Voice of China” changed Chinese TV’s fortune.

50.What does the underlined word “capture” (in Paragraph1) here mean?

  A.Catch   B. Control   C. Count   D. Contain

51.We can infer from the last paragraph that the Roman Colosseum ____.

  A.brings you to go to visit the founder of ancient Rome

  B.tells us some detailed information for searching for Rome

  C.is a museum where people can visit and study the history of ancient.

  D.is a place where people can survive only just by continuous struggling.

     You are watching a film in which two men are having a fight. They hit one another hard. At the start they only fight with their fists. But soon they begin hitting one another over the heads with chairs. And so it goes on until one of the men crashes through a window and falls thirty feet to the ground below. He is dead! Of course he isn’t really dead. With any luck he isn’t even hurt. Why?because the men who fall out of high windows or jump from fast moving trains, who crash cars of even catch fire, are professionals. They do this for a living. These men are called stuntmen. That is to say, they perform tricks. There are two sides to their work . They actually do most of the things you see on the screen. For example, they fall from a high building. However, they do not fall on to hard ground but on to empty cardboard boxes covered with a mattress(床垫). Again , when they hit one another with chairs, the chairs are made of soft wood and when they crash through windows, the glass is made of sugar! But although their work depends on trick of this sort, it also requires a high degree of skill and training. Often a stuntman’s success depends on careful timing. For example, when he is “blown up” in a battle scene, he has to jump out of the way of the explosion just at the right moment.

     Naturally stuntmen are well paid for their work, but they lead dangerous lives. They often get seriously injured, and sometimes killed. A Norwegian stuntman , for example, skied over the edge of a cliff(悬崖）a thousand feet high. His parachute failed to open, and he was killed. In spite of all the risks, this is no longer a profession for men only. Men no longer dress up as women when actresses have to perform some dangerous action. For nowadays there are stunt(替身演员) girls too.

45.Stuntmen are those who_____.

  A. often dress up as actors.                  

  B. prefer to lead dangerous lives

  C. often perform seemingly dangerous actions.

  D. often fight each other for their lives.  

46.Stuntmen earn their living by____.

  A.playing their dirty tricks        B. Selling their special skills

  C.jumping out of high windows   D.jumping from fast moving trains

47.Which of the following is the main factor of a successful performance?

  A.Strength    B. Exactness    C. Speed    D.Carefulness

48.What can be inferred from the author’s example of the Norwegian stuntman?

  A. Sometimes an accident can occur to a stuntman.

  B. The percentage of serious accidents is high

  C. Parachutes must be of good quality

  D. The cliff is too high.
