As the worlds greatest skateboarder, he talked about how his life was not always so miraculous (奇迹般的). H
9、e mentioned one day he was skating on top of the world, and the next day the sport of skateboarding fell right on its face. Life for Tony has had its ups and downs, and what brought him back up was the way he believed in himself. One of the most tragic events in Tonys life was that his father passed
10、 away. Although he suffered such pain, he never lost sight of his dream. He put his energy into his dream, which helped him overcome his sadness. One part of Tony that completely impressed me is the way he accepts himself. His goal is never to do better than others, but to do his best. If he does th
11、e best he can, it doesnt matter how anyone else takes him. Thats true and wise. As for me, I play baseball and things arent going so well, but Im trying my hardest because thats life. Its how you approach those bad days that will keep you on top. Confidence brought Tony to the next level. During our
12、 meeting he continually talked about the importance of following ones dream. He also said, along with that, one needs to have a strong faith in ones own ability to achieve that dream, no matter what challenges are presented. By the end, I didnt see the same guy who had walked through the door an hou

16、at we believe we can and cannot do. Each of us over the years has built up belief about ourselves: Unconsciously, our pictures of who we are have been formed by past experiences. Our successes and failures, what others have told us and what we think people believe about us all help form impressions
17、of what we think we are. As self-image plays a crucial role in our growth, gaining a proper understanding of it and even making changes to it can hold significant meaning for our development. Changing our self-image is possible: Some psychologists suggest we begin to change our self-image by mentall
18、y picturing ourselves performing well at some tasks. Since we presently react to things based on our present images, its suggested that we replace those with better ones. In many experiments, people were asked to sit quietly for a few minutes each day and imagine themselves doing well. For instance,
19、 subjects would sit and imagine themselves throwing darts (飞镖) at a bulls-eye on a target. Over a period of weeks, their dart game improved. This has been done with people who wanted to play chess better, throw a ball more accurately, increase their salesmanship or musical talents, or improve many o
20、ther skills. In most cases, remarkable improvement is made. The point of changing self-image is not to develop an image of ourselves that is not real. To try to become something we really arent is just as wrong as living the unrealistic, inferior image we may have. The aim is to find the real self a
21、nd to bring our mental images of ourselves in line with our true potential. However, it is generally accepted among psychologists that most of us fail to do justice to ourselves. Were usually better than we think we are. Another important part of changing self-image is to not think about past mistak
22、es. Dont let failures do harm. Our errors or humiliation over mistakes are necessary steps in learning. It is all right to make mistakes. But when they have taught us what we did wrong, we should forget them and not dwell on (纠结于) them. Sometimes we keep remembering our failures or mistakes and feel
23、 guilty or embarrassed about them. We let them take over, and then we develop a fear. It is important to have realistic expectations of ourselves. Some of our dissatisfaction might come from expecting too much of ourselves. If we demand constant perfection in everything we do, we can be disappointed
24、 and our poor self-image will continue. If our goal is to reach perfection, we are doomed (注定要失败的) from the start.8Which situation agrees with the idea of the passage?ATo win a speech contest, Tina pictures herself speaking more confidently.BTo get along with her classmates, Doris always humbles her

28、the ancient philosopher Diogenes is described casting away his last possession, a drinking bowl. He realizes he doesnt need it after seeing a youth cupping a hand to drink from a river. The significance for us is that Diogenes spiritual descendants (后代) known as “new minimalists” are now everywhere,
29、 if not as completely possession-free as he was. There are hundreds of websites praising the virtues of tidy living. Everyone is trying to cut down on things these days. People are trying to reduce their carbon footprints, their waistlines, and their monthly outgoings. Whats more, theres a general f
30、ear that people are becoming choked by their possessions, and this is fueled by the knowledge that the leading hobby these days seems to be shopping. Its true that sales of e-readers and e-books go beyond those of paperbacks. As a result, the need for bookshelves is cut out. However, todays new mini

39、 and without energy. Still, crying is a fact of life, and your tears are very useful. Even when youre not crying, they make a film over the eyes surface. 16 When tears fall, they reduce stress. But we tend to fight them for all sorts of reasons. “People worry about showing their emotions, afraid tha
40、t once they lose control theyll never get back.” 17 After we cry, the feelings that caused the tears often disappear. Sometimes people become much stressed and cant cry. Whatever emotion they are feelingshock, anger, fear, or sadnessis being held back. 18 Psychologist Vera Diamond explains that her
41、treatment often consists of giving people permission to cry. 19 Patients practice crying just to become used to expressing emotions. She suggests safe, private places to cry, like under the bedcovers or in the car. Crying is a way of easing tension, but people dont like it when others cry because it
42、 makes them tense. They too may be holding back a need to cry. And theyll do just about anything to make tears stop. In certain situations, such as at work, tears are not appropriate. Its good not to cry during a tense business discussion. 20 You should also act out the whole situation again and be

We were supposed to do nice things 21 our friends without letting them know who was doing it. We could leave 22 notes
46、or cards either on their desks or in their backpacks. Before doing the task, with our eyes closed, from a basket, we drew a name of a classmate who we were to secretly befriend over the next five days. Soon, the task was turned into a competition of giving 23 instead of notes. Everyone was getting c
