part of a team was fun and motivating. very soon the competitive 50 in me was winning over my lack of confidence. with time, i learned how to play and made friends in the 51 friends who respected my efforts to work hard and be a team player. i never had so much fun!with my 52 self-confidence comes more praise from teachers and classmates. i have gone from 53 in the back of the classroom and not

of a hotel in springfield. one weekend all of the hotels in the city were full because there was a large meeting. late in the evening three men came into the hotel and asked for rooms. mr smith explained that because of the meeting, there were no rooms ready for use. the men were very unhappy because they had no place to stay in.mr smith wanted to help them. he remembered that room 414, a very small room, was empty. he asked them if they would share a room. the three men agreed. mr smith told them that the room would cost $30: $10 for each. each of them gave mr smith $10, and they went up to the room.mr smith soon began to feel sorry. “thirty dollars is too much for that small room,” he thought. he called one of his men over and said, “here is $ 5. bring it to the man in room 414. ive asked too much money for their room.”the worker took the money from his manager. while he was on his way to room 414, he started to think, “how can i divide $5? well, ill give each of them only $1 and i keep $2. the men will be happy to get anything back. ill make a little money and mr smith will never know.” so he returned $1 to each man.you see, there come a problem, each man had at first

the kind manager b. three men came to the hotelc. a strange maths problemd. $27 + $2 = $29b sometimes youll hear people say that you cant love others until you love yourself. sometimes youll hear people say that you cant expect someone else to love you until you love yourself. either way, youve got to love yourself first and this can be tricky. sure we all know that were the apple of our parents eyes, and that our grandmas think were great talents and our uncle roberts think that we will go to the olympics. but sometimes its 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 learnt to love yourself. self-image is your own minds 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. dont allow doubts to occur in it. it very well might be that you are experiencing a negative self-image because you cant 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 youre silly because you arent good at math, find a tutor. if you think youre weak because you cant run a mile, get to the track and practice. if you think youre dull because you dont wear the latest trends, buy a few new clothes. but remember, just because you think it doesnt mean its true. the best way to get rid of a negative self-image is to realize that your image is far from 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 a positive self-image. when you can pat(拍) yourself on the back, youll know youre well on your way. good luck!60. you need to build a positive self-image when you _.a. dare to challenge yourself b. feel it hard to change yourselfc. have a high opinion of yourself d. are unconfident about yourself61. how should you change your self-image according to the passage?a. to keep a different image of others. b. to make your life successful.c. to change the way you think. d. to understand your own world.62. what is the passage mainly about?a. how to build a positive self-image. b. how to prepare for your success. c. how to face challenges in your life.d. how to develop your good qualities.63. who are the intended readers of the passage?a. parents. b. people in general. c. adolescents. d. educators.cif you have a chance to go to finland, you will probably be surprised to find how foolish the finnish people are. take the taxi drivers for example. taxis in finland are mostly high-class benz with a fare of two us dollars a kilometer. you can go anywhere in one, tell the driver to drop you at any place, say that you have some business to attend to, and then walk off without paying your fare. the driver would not show the least sign of anxiety. the dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests, but also serve outside diners. hotel guests have their meals free, so they naturally go to the free dining rooms to have their meals. the most they would do to show their good faith is to wave their registration card to the waiter. with such a loose check, you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends to dine free of charge. the finnish workers are paid by the hour. they are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss on the rate. from then on they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly. with so many loopholes(漏洞)in everyday life, surely finland must be a heaven to those who love to take petty advantages. but the strange thing is, all the taxi passengers would always come back to pay their fare after they have attended to their business; not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms. and workers always give an honest account of the exact hours they put in. as the finns always act on good faith in everything they do, living in such a society has turned everyone into a real gentleman. in a society of such high moral practice, what need is there for people to be on guard against others. 64.while taking a taxi in finland, _ a. a passenger pays two us dollars for a taxi ride b. a passenger can go anywhere without having to pay the driver c. a passenger needs to provide good faith demonstration(證明)before they leave without paying d. a passenger can never be turned down by the taxi driver wherever he wants to go.65. we know from the passage that big hotels in finland_ .a. provide meals for any diners b. are mostly poorly managed c. provide free wine and charge for food d. provide meal for only those who live in the hotels66. which of the following is not true according to the passage ? a. the workers in finland are paid by the hour. b. the workers are always honest with their working hours. c. the finnish people are actually not so foolish as they look.d.the bosses in finland are too busy to check the working hours of their employees. deverybody in the house had to help when uncle podger did a job. when they bought a picture once, aunt podger asked, “ now, where shall we put this ?” “ oh, ill do it . dont worry about it . ill do it
