21、   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 build a positive sell-image and learn to love yourself.

Self-image is your own mind's picture of yourself. This image includes the way 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 serf-image is to realize that your image is far objective, and to actively convince yourself of your positive qualities. Changing the way you think and working on those you need to improve will go a long way towards promoting positive self-image. When you can pat(拍)yourself on the back, you'll know you're well on your way. Good luck!

【1】You need to build a positive self-image when you .

A.dare to challenge yourself

B.are unconfident about yourself

C.feel it hard to change yourself

D.have a high opinion of yourself

【2】According to the passage, our serf-images  .

A.have positive effects

C.are probably untrue

D.have different functions

【3】How should you change your serf-image according to the passage?

A.To change the way you think.

B.To make your life successful.

C.To understand your own world.

D.To keep a different image of others.

【4】What is the passage mainly about?

A.How to prepare for your success.

B.How to face challenges in your life.

C.How to develop your good qualities.

D.How to build a positive self-image.

【5】Who are the intended readers of the passage?

A.Parents. B.Educators.

C.Adolescents. D.People in general.

22、The world economy has run into a brick wall. Despite countless warnings in recent years about the need to address a potential hunger crisis in poor countries and an energy crisis worldwide, world leaders failed to think ahead. The result is a global food crisis. Wheat, corn and rice prices have more than doubled in the past two years. And oil prices have increased more than three times since the start of 2004.These food-price increases, combined with increasing energy costs, will slow if not stop economic growth in many parts of the world and will even affect political stability. Practical solutions to these problems do exist, but we’ll have to start thinking ahead and acting globally.

Here are three steps to ease the current food crisis and avoid the potential for a global crisis. The first is to promote the dramatic success of Malawi, a country in southern Africa, which three years ago established a special fund to help its farmers get fertilizer and seeds with high productivity. Malawi’s harvest doubled after just one year. An international fund based on the Malawi model would cost a mere $10 per person annually in the rich world, or $10 billion altogether.

Second, the U.S. and Europe should abandon their policies of paying partly for the change of food into biofuels. The U.S. government gives farmers a taxpayer-financed payment of 51 cents per gallon of ethanol(乙醇) changed from corn. There may be a case for biofuels produced on lands that do not produce foods but tree crops, grass and wood products, but there’s no case for the government to pay to put the world’s dinner into the gas tank.

Third, we urgently need to weather-proof the world’s crops as soon and as effectively as possible. For a poor farmer, sometimes something as simple as a farm pond—which collects rainwater to be used in dry weather—can make the difference between a good harvest and a bad one. The world has already committed to establishing a Climate Adaptation Fund to help poor regions climate-proof vital economic activities such as food production and health care but has not yet acted upon the promise.

【1】An international fund based on the Malawi model would _____ .

A. cost each of the developed countries $10 billion per year

B. aim to double the harvest in southern African countries in a year

C. decrease the food prices as well as the energy prices

D. give poor farmers access to fertilizer and highly productive seeds

【2】With the second step, the author expresses the idea that ______ .

A. it is not wise to change food crops into gas

B. it is misleading to put tree crops into the gas tank

C. we should get alternative forms of fuel in any way

D. biofuels should be developed on a large scale

【3】 In the passage, the author calls on us to _______ .

A. slow down but not to stop economic growth

B. develop tree crops, grass and wood products

C. achieve economic growth and political stability

D. act now so as to relieve the global food shortage

23、   School districts across the United States have reported that the number of students failing classes has risen many times higher than usual numbers.

Educators see a number of factors. Students learning from home often miss assignment —- or school completely. Internet availability is limited or not effectively established, making it difficult to complete and upload assignments. And teachers not seeing their students in person have fewer ways to note who is falling behind. That is especially true with many students keeping their cameras off during online classes.

The increase in failing grades has been seen in districts of all sizes around the country. In the Salem-Keizer Public School district, hundreds of students at first had grade scores of 0.0% .This showed that students simply were not taking part in school at all. In New Mexico, more than 40% middle and high school students were failing at least one class as of late October. In Houston, Texas, 42% students received at least one F in the first grading period of the year, double the amount in a usual year.

For it, schools have taken measures. Some schools are giving students more time to complete assignments. Advisory teams have increased contact with students. Teachers have been asked to temporarily stop assigning graded homework. And parents of Hispanic students were invited to learn how they can see their children’s grades online. I n Charleston, administrators are considering bringing in a grading system which permits instructors to give 50s instead of 0s to make it less harmful to students’ grades. “I' m an English teacher, not a math teacher, but I' ve learned zeros are very, very damaging to an average, ”Jody Stallings said.

【1】What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?

A．Teachers’ helplessness in online classes.

B．Students’ ineffective access to the Internet.

C．The causes of assignments being missed by students.

D．The reasons for the increase in students’ failing grades.

【2】How does the author support his opinion in Paragraph 3?

A．By comparing facts.

B．By presenting statistics.

C．By answering questions.

D．By showing public opinions.

【3】What step has been taken to change the situation?

A．Introducing a new grading system.

B．Parents increasing their contact with students.

C．Teachers canceling the deadline for assignments.

D．Instructing parents to monitor students learning online.

【4】What is Judy Stalling 's attitude towards the measures taken by school?

A．Approving.

B．Critical.

C．Anxious.

D．Ambiguous.

24、Speaking from my past experience, it is very difficult to find good friends that you can trust but once you have found them, they are worth keeping forever! Therefore, I think friendship is the most important relationship that anybody could have.

The qualities I look for in a friend are a good sense of humor but sensitivity when it matters. Also that friend would have to be strong-minded and highly spirited. I think that these qualities are the key qualities to look for in a good friend.

Even the strongest friends can still have arguments, although usually about more serious topics, rather than the usual teenage childish arguments. Some matters can seriously affect a friendship. If one of your friends started experimenting with harmful and dangerous drugs, what would you do ? A good friend would try to help as much as possible, whereas a bad example of a friend would simply shrug(耸肩) and turn a blind eye.

Not only the bad things affect friendship ---- good activities do too. Such as bonding with one another, not just by going out on a night with them but by spending quality time with them and talking to each other, which indicates a good ability to communicate. This is a key aspect of a good friendship.

Good friends do not always have to be in the same age group as you. I have a good friend and she is 47 years old and I am 16.

Unfortunately, some people lose contact with their friends as they grow older, which is a sad way to lose a good friend.

I think friendship is one of the most important things in life because if you have no friends you will have no happiness.

【1】According to the author, true friendship _______.

A. is easy to get

B. deepens with time

C. needs management

D. affects one’s happiness

【2】Paragraph 3 is mainly about______.

A. why drugs are bad for teenagers

B. problems that will test friendship

C. ways that help avoid arguments

D. whether a friend is trustworthy

【3】According to the author, which matters least in friendship?

A. Age.

B. Sensitivity.

C. Sense of humor.

D. Communication ability.

【4】Which of the following saying can match the author’s view on friendship?

A. Old friends and old wines are best.

B. A friend without faults will never be found.

C. A life without a friend is a life without the sun.

D. a friend to everybody is a friend to nobody.
