第三部分：阅读理解(共 20 小题：每小题 2 分，满分 40 分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四
个选项(A、B、C 和 D)中，选出最佳选项，并在笞题卡上将该项涂里．
A
Sometimes you’ll hear people say that you can’t love others until you love yourself：
Sometimes you’ll hear people say that you can’t expect someone else to love you until you love
yourself．Either way，you’ve got to love yourself first and this can be tricky．Sure we all know that
we’re the apple of our parents’eyes，and that our Grandmas think we’re great talents and our
Uncle Roberts think that we will go to the Olympics．But sometimes．It’s a lot harder to think such
nice thoughts about ourselves．If you find that believing in yourself is a challenge，it is time you
built a positive self-image and learn to love yourself．
Self-image is your own mind’s picture of yourself．
．This image includes the wav you look,
the way you act，the way you talk and the way you think．Interestingly, our self-images are often
quite different from the images others hold about us．Unfortunately, most of these images are more
negative than they should be．Thus changing the way you think about Yourself is the key to
changing your self-image and your whole world．
The best way to defeat a passive self-image is to step back and decide to stress your
successes．That is，make a list if you need to．but write down all of the great things you do every
day．Don’t allow doubts to occur in it．
It very well might be that you are experiencing a negative self-image because you can’t move
past one flaw or weakness that you see about yourself．Well，roll up your sleeves and make a
change of it as your primary, task．If you think you’re silly because you aren’t good at math．find
a tutor．If you think you’re weak because you can’t run a mile，get to the track and practice．If you
think you’re dull because you don’t wear the latest trends，buy a few new clothes．But remember,
just because you think it doesn’t mean It’s true．
The best way to get rid of a negative sell-image is to realize that your image is far from
objective，and to actively convince yourself of your positive qualities．Changing the ay you think
and working on those you need to improve will go a long way towards promoting a positive
self-image．When you can pat(拍)yourself on the back, you’ll know you’re well on your
way．Good luck!

A．dare to challenge yourself
B．feel it hard to change yourself

B．How to face challenges in your life．C．How to build a positive self-image．
D．How to develop your good qualities．
59．Who are the intended readers of the passage?

newspapers and on radio，saying：“I’m trying’to find the man who robbed me．I have 60 million
for him—a lottery, win Please meet me．Anonymity(匿名) guaranteed．”
Professor Sabbatucci received hundreds of calls from people hoping to trick him into handing
them the cash．But there was one voice he recognized and he arranged to meet the malt in a
park．The robber, a 35-year-old unemployed father of two gave back the suitcase and burst into
tears．He could not believe what was happening．”Why didn’t you keep the money?”he asked．The
professor replied：”I couldn’t because It’s．not mine．” Then he walked off, spurning thief's offer
of a reward．

“First we make our habits，then our habits make us．”—Charles C．Noble
It’s such a simple concept，yet it’s something we don’t always do．It’s not extreme difficult to
do，and yet I think It’s something that would make a world of difference anyone’s lire．Break your
goals into habits，and focus on putting those habits in autopilot．My belief is that having one goal
to focus on is much more powerful that having many goals．
I try to turn my goals into habits，and in doing so，I put my goals．On autopilot Turning a goal
into a habit means really focusing on it，seriously, for at least a month，the exclusion of all
else．The more you．can focus on it，the more it’II be put on autopilot．Let’s look at my
marathon．goal as an example．I was just starting out in running, and had the brilliant idea to run a
marathon within a year．But in order to achieve that goal． I broke it down into two habits：
1．I had to make running a daily habit．
2．I had to report to people in order to have accountability(责任)—I did through family,
friends and coworkers，through a blog，and through a column in local newspaper every two
weeks．With this accountability, there’s no way I would stop running·
The accountability habit took a couple months，mainly because I didn’t focus on it too much
while I was building the running habit．But it stuck，and for that first year of running．I would
report to people I knew and biog about my running every day and I could write a column every
two weeks for my local paper.
Once those two habits were firmly fixed，my marathon goal was pretty much on autopilot．I
still had to do the work，of course．but it didn’t require constant focus．And eventually，I ran the
marathon．I was able to achieve this because，all year long，I had the daily running habit and daily
accountability habit．I put my marathon goal into autopilot．and that made it much easier—instead
of struggling with it daily for an year, I focused on it for one month and was able to accomplish it
while focusing on new habits and goals．
68．According to the passage，we gab see the key to forming a habit is
．
A．to break the goals into habits
B．to report to other people about your plan
C．to set a reasonable goal first
D．to focus on the habit as much as possible
69．The author told people about his running in order to
．
A．get more support

D．earn mole admiration
70．What do we know about the author?

E
There are two basic ways to see growth：one as a product，the other as a process people have
generally viewed personal growth as an external(外表的，外部的)result or product that can easily
be realized and measured．The worker who gets a rise, the student whose grades improve，the
foreigner who learns a new language-all these are samples of people who have measurable results
to show for their efforts．
By contrast，the process of personal growth is much more difficult to determine，since
definition it is a journey and not the specific signposts or landmarks along the way．The process is
not the road itself, but rather the attitudes and feelings people have，their
arefulness or courage，as they met with new experiences and unexpected difficulties．In this
process，the journey never really ends；there ale always new ways to experience the world new
ideas to try, new difficulties to overcome．
In order to grow，to travel new roads, people need to have a willingness to take risks， to face
the unknown，and to accept the possibility that they may“fail” at first．How we see ourselves as we
try a new way of being is basic to our ability to grow．Do we notice ourselves as quick and curious?
If so，then we tend to take more chances and to be more open to unfamiliar experiences．Do we
think we’re shy and uncertain? Then our sense of timidity(胆怯的)can cause us to hesitate．to
move slowly, and not to take a step until we know the ground is safe．Do we think we’re slow to
adapt to changes or that we’re not clever enough to deal will a new challenge? Then we are likely
to take a more passive role or net try at all．
These feelings of unsafely and self-doubt al e both unavoidable and necessary if we are to
change and grow．If we do not face and overcome these internal fears and doubts，if we protect
ourselves too much，then we stop growth．We become hidden inside a shell of our own making．
72．A person is generally believed to achieve personal growth when
．
A．he has given up his smoking habit
B．he has made great efforts in his work
，
C．he is fond of learning anything new’
D．he has tried to determine where he is on journey
73．In the author’s eyes，one who views personal growth as a process would
．
A．succeed in climbing up the social ladder
B．face difficulties and take up challenges
C．aim high and reach his aim each：time
．
D．judge his ability to grow from his own achievements
74．When the author says“a new way of being”(paragraph3)，he is referring to
A．a new way of taking risks
B．a new system of adapting to changes
C．a new method of noticing ourselves
D．a new way of experiencing the world
75．For personal growth，the author wouldn’t agree that one should
A．be curious about more changes．
B．avoid internal fears and doubts．
C．adapt oneself to new conditions quickly．
D．be open-minded to new experiences．
