Most of us long for relationships in which we are loved and accepted. Our hearts’ desire is to give and receive love in relationships that make us feel that even if others disagree with what we do or say, they still love us, accept us, and appreciate what we give to the world. While it would be wonderful to have these types of relationships with all people, we know that’s hard to do. However, we can have such relationships with some others, but only when we first have them with ourselves—and, strangely, this is often the hardest relationship of all.
Do you love yourself? You may think you do, but do you really? There’s only one way to find out— by taking a close look at what you think, say, and do. You may not like some of what you find, but if you are serious about really loving yourself, you can use this insight to do some positive inner work. Here’re three ways for gaining greater personal insight for deeper love:
Listen Closely to Your Thoughts
Your thoughts will determine your actions. One thing helping you to listen to your thoughts is keeping a journal. It is not necessary for you to write in it every day, but it helps to record various insights you gain as you go about your life. Instead of using a big notebook, you might use a small notepad that you can keep in your pocket for easy access to record your thoughts as they occur to you. Whichever method you choose, what’s most important is that you write your thoughts down. It will help you know what’s in your heart.
Be Honest with Yourself
To do this, you should pay attention to your actions. Actions speak louder than words, and they always tell the truth. If you say you love your job, but your actions say otherwise, which do you think is more reliable? On the other hand, if you say you’re not good at a certain job, but your actions say otherwise, that’s also important. What do you do with this insight? You can use it to make more positive choices in your life. By being honest with yourself, you will act according to truth instead of just what you tell yourself.
Take Quiet Time to Listen to Your Inner Voice
This is similar to the first point, but it takes a step further— beyond the natural mind to the heart that cannot be seen. You may want to use your quiet time to think deeply. However you use this time, the key is to shut out all of the noise around you by focusing deep within yourself. Breathing deeply during quiet time will also help you focus. I know it’s hard to find quiet time during a particularly busy day, but it’s so important— even if it’s just 10 minutes a day and you have to hide somewhere to get it. Quiet time can really make a difference in your life.
Despite what your mind may be telling you, you can have love with no limits. The key is to unconditionally love yourself first.
小題1:. By looking deep into what we think, say, and do, we can         .
A．know whether we really love ourselves
B．a(chǎn)ppreciate what we give to the world
C．realize what type of relationship we long for
D．know whether we are loved and accepted by others
小題2:.An important way for gaining personal insight is to         .
A．do some positive inner work
B．keep a journal wherever you go
C．look closely at what others say about us
D．pay attention to our thoughts
小題3:.The insight we gain from our actions can help us         .
A．focus our attention on our jobs
B．make more positive choices in our life
C．a(chǎn)ct according to the truth
D．tell the differences between our words and our actions
小題4:.It can be learned from the passage that if we want to have love without limits, we must first of all          .
A．be honest with ourselves anytime
B．give our love to others generously
C．love ourselves unconditionally
D．take quiet time and think deeply

Dear Michelle:
My Dad hates my Mom. He tells me that she is a liar and that I should not trust her. Of course, they are divorced but they have “joint custody(共同監(jiān)護(hù))”. What a joke! I am 15, my brother is nine, and we have a life of hell, frankly.
We live one week on and one week off. This was the brilliant idea of both of my parents, which was fair to them but ruining my life. I can’t get away from his voice and his putting my mom down. Sometimes I think about running away.
A Hopeless Ant
Dear Hopeless Ant:
First, thank you for trusting me with your problem. If all you said is correct, then there are several
things that you can and should do to help yourself, your brother, and your parents.
● You need a family counselor(顧問(wèn)). Such a person could listen to each family member alone and
then meet together to talk about the situation.
If refused, you need to talk to a counselor in your school. You need to be heard, and you need an
adult who will listen. A school counselor can organize a meeting with your parents.
● Perhaps you need to write to her. Writing things down allows people to go over it more than one
time.
I cannot imagine that she will stand passively by and do nothing at all to help once she reads how
you feel. Your father needs a letter as well. He may not realize the destructive effect that it has on his
children.
● Lastly, have a plan in mind when all else fails that is not self-destructive. Life passes very quickly, and you will grow up and have your own life.
Above all, you need to keep yourself safe. Never doubt that it will get better. Write back and let me know how everything is going.
The Hopeless Ant wrote the letter to _______.
A. complain about the problems
B. ask for advice
C. make his father punished
D. just play a joke
小題1:.
The Hopeless Ant hated his father because __________.
A．his father always told a lie
B．his father wasn’t friendly to his mother
C．his father divorced his mother
D．the Hopeless Ant couldn’t stay with his parents
小題2:.
According to the text, which of the following advice is in greatest need for the Hopeless Ant?
A．Keep himself safe.B．Have a talk with his parents.
C．Have his own family plan.D．Write letters to families.
小題3:.
In which part of a website may the passage appear?
A．Entertainment.B．Advertisement.C．Life.D．Education.

One in five American families will move every year. Moving is one of the most stress-producing events a family has to go through. Experts say it can be harder for children. How do you help your child adjust to the changes?
The Ricardos moved from their old house to a new home. Same family, same dog-but it was harder for 9-year-old Elena. She hated the room, the house and everything. She hated leaving her friends the most.
“ I was so emotional. I mean, saying goodbye to all my friends…..my very close friends, who was my neighbor, made me so sad,” says Elena.
For some children, the emotional stress of moving is not much more different from the emotions when someone has died.
“There’s that sense that, ‘I’ve lost my friends, my friends, my base, my school, my teachers-everything I knew that made me feel safe is all gone now. I have to start over,” says Dr. Tim Jordan.
Starting over is exactly Dr. Tim Jordan’s advice. Make new friends, enter the new school and enter the new neighborhood. And here are some other pieces of advice.
● Explain clearly to the children why the move is necessary.
● Familiarize(使熟悉) the children as much as possible with the new area with maps, photographs or the daily newspaper.
● After the move, got the children to join in activities in the place.
● Help the children keep in touch with friends from the neighborhood before through telephone, letters, e-mail, and personal visits.
小題1:
Which of the following is useful to reduce the children’s stress before the move?
A．Let doctors give children some advice.
B．Try letting children accept the fact of moving.
C．Let children keep in touch with their former friends.
D．Copy the new environment in the old home.
小題2:
What can we know from the passage?
A．Most American children can get used to the changes in moving.
B．Dr. Tim Jordan lost his family, friends, teachers after moving.
C．The emotional stress of moving is the same in some way as that of knowing someone’s death.
D．the Ricardos lost their dogs after moving to their new house.
小題3:
The passage mainly wants to _____
A．tell parents the reasons of moving.B．explain the reasons of stress.
C．give parents some advice on moving.D．teach parents how to move.

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

Three years ago I listened to a lecture on cognition (認(rèn)知) that changed the way I think about intelligence. There are two types of cognition. The first is normal cognition: the ability to regain knowledge from memory. The second type of cognition is metacognition: the ability to know whether or not you know.
Does this affect intelligence? In traditional education, intelligence is measured by cognitive ability. Some people can easily produce everything they know on a test. But others are awarded with poor grades and considered inferior. But does this inability make them any less intelligent? If the question came up on a task, they could refer to a book or a quick Google search. In reality they’re just as effective as the people that ace a test. They just can’t prove it as easily.
Metacognition is more important to success than cognition. A person with poor cognitive ability, but great metacognitive ability might do poorly in school, but when faced with a challenge, they understand their abilities and take the best course of action. For example, when faced with a question, a person with strong metacognitive ability will deal with it like this. If he knows the answer, but can’t come up with it, he can always do a bit of research. If he knows for sure that he doesn’t know, then he can start educating himself. Because he’s aware of his ignorance, he doesn’t act with foolish confidence. These people might not seem intelligent at first glance, but because they know what they know, they make better decisions and learn the most important things.
However, people with great cognitive ability but poor metacognitive ability may be considered excellent at a young age for acing every test and getting great SAT scores. Unfortunately, they’ve been ruined by poor metacognition: they think they know everything but they really don’t. They are overconfident, fail to learn from mistakes, and don’t understand the slight differences of personal relationships, showing disregard for persons with lower cognitive ability. They may make the worst decisions.
The most important mental power is the ability to know what you don’t know. The recognition of a fault is the first step to improvement. Don’t try to hide a lack of knowledge. For intelligent people this is the toughest lesson to learn.
小題1:People with great cognitive ability tend to _________.
A．do well in testsB．be considered inferior
C．be more effective than othersD．do research when faced with a task
小題2:The underlined phrase “take the best course of action” probably means _________.
A．starting educating himselfB．taking action during the course
C．making the right decisionD．coming up with many ideas
小題3:People with poor metacognition may not succeed because they_________.
A．lack basic moral valuesB．have improper self-evaluation
C．fail to communicate with othersD．show little respect for others
小題4:The author probably supports the idea that _________.
A．intelligence is measured by cognitive ability
B．cognition is the most important mental power
C．the toughest lesson is to distinguish the two types of cognition
D．the awareness of one’s ignorance contributes to one’s improvement

What makes a person a scientist? Does he have ways or tools of learning that are different from those of others? The answer is “no”. It isn’t the tools a scientist uses but how he uses these tools which make him a scientist. You will probably agree that knowing how to use a power is important to a carpenter. You will probably agree, too, that knowing how to investigation, how to discover information, is important to everyone. The scientist, however, goes one step further; he must be sure that he has a reasonable answer to his questions and that his answer he gets to many questions is into a large set of ideas about how the world works.
The scientist’s knowledge must be exact. There’s no room for half right or right just half the time. He must be as nearly right as the conditions permit. What works under one set of conditions at one time must work under the same conditions at other times. If the conditions are different, any changes the scientist observes in a demonstration(實(shí)證) must be explained by the changes in the conditions. This is one reason why investigations are important in science. Albert Einstein, who developed the Theory of Relativity, arrived at the theory through mathematics. The accuracy(正確性) of his mathematics was later tested through investigation. Einstein’s ideas were proved to be correct. A scientist uses many tools for measurements. Then the measurements are used to make mathematical calculations(計(jì)算) that may test his investigations
小題1: What makes a scientist according to the passage?
A．The tools he uses.B．His ways of learning
C．The way he uses his toolsD．The various tools he uses
小題2: “…knowing how to investigation, how to discover information, is important to everyone.”
The writer says this to show ___________.
A．the importance of information
B．the difference between scientists and ordinary people.
C．the importance of thinking
D．the difference between carpenters and ordinary people
小題3: A sound scientific theory should be one that _________.
A．works under one set of conditions at one time and also works under the same conditions at other times
B．doesn’t allow any change even under different conditions
C．Can be used many times under different conditions
D．Can be used for many purposes
小題4:What is the main idea of the passage?
A．Scientists are different from ordinary people.
B．The Theory of Relativity.
C．Exactness is the core (核心) of science.
D．Exactness and way of using tools are the keys to making of a scientist.
