【題目】Everyone has good days and bad days.
Sometimes, you feel as if you’re on top of the world and all the questions on your maths test might seem easy. But occasionally you feel horrible, and you lose things and cannot focus on our schoolwork.
For more than 20 years, scientists have suggested that high self-esteem(自尊) is the key to success.Now, new research shows that focusing just on building self-esteem may not be helpful. In some cases, having high self-esteem can make people less likeable or more upset when they fail in something.
“Forget about self-esteem,” says Jennifer Crocker, a psychologist at the University of Michigan, US. “It’s not the important thing.”
Feeling good
Crocker’s advice may sound a bit strange. After all, feeling good can be good for you.Studies show that people with high self-esteem are less likely to be depressed, anxious, shy, or lonely than those with low self-esteem.
However, after reviewing about 18,000 studies on self-esteem, Roy Baumeister, a psychologist at Florida State University, has found that building up your self-esteem will not necessarily make you a better person.
He believes that violent people often have the highest self-esteem of all. He also said:“ There’s no evidence that kids with high self-esteem do better in school.”
Problems
All types of people have problems. People with high self-esteem can have big egos(自我) that can make them less likeable, said Kathleen Vohs, a psychology professor at Columbia University.People with high self-esteem tend to think more of themselves, VOhs says. People with low self-esteem are more likely to rely on their friends when they need help.
What to do
Researchers say it is best to listen to and support other people. Find positive ways to contribute to society. If you fail in something, try to learn from the experience. “The best therapy(藥方) is to recognize your faults,” Vohs says. “It’s OK to say, ‘I’ m not so good at that,’ and then move on.”
【1】 What does the underlined part “on top of the world” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Quite helpful. B. Extremely happy.
C. Very unlucky. D. Rather upset.
【2】 The conclusion drawn from the new research shows that high self-esteem_____.
A. is not important at all
B. makes people more likeable
C. helps you do better at school
D. may not be the key to success
【3】 Which of the following is TRUE according to Vohs?
A. Feeling good doesn’t mean you lead a happy life.
B. People with high self-esteem always seek others’ help.
C. People with high self-esteem tend to be selfish.
D. People with low self-esteem are often more popular.
【4】 We can infer from the text that the best therapy mentioned in the last paragraph is mainly for people_____.
A. with high self-esteem
B. with low self-esteem
C. who contribute significantly to society
D. who are in need of support

【題目】Dick was a twenty-year-old man. His father was a teacher and taught chemistry in a middle school and his mother worked in a shop. They lived a happy life until his parents died one night when suddenly an earthquake broke out. All that happened on his sixth birthday. Luckily his sister who was two years senior to him took him to see their aunt in the city and they did not stay at home. Everything was destroyed in the earthquake and the two children got into trouble. Thanks to their aunt who was not rich enough, they grew up but they lived a hard life. His sister was so sad that she became a nun(修女). After he finished middle school, he was introduced to an owner of a hotel and began to work there.
One day the young man fell to the ground while he was cleaning a window on the second floor. He was sent to the hospital and the doctor looked him over.

“Can’t anybody help you?”
“No, madam,” answered Dick. “I have only a sister. She’s a nun and she’s poor, too.”
“I don’t think so,” the nurse said angrily. “Nuns usually marry God. And God is the richest in the world, you know!”

【題目】Conventional wisdom says that hardship can make us old before our time. In fact, a new study suggests that violence not only leaves long-term scars on childrens bodies, but also changes their DNA, causing changes that are equal to seven to ten years of premature aging.
Scientists measured this by studying the ends of childrens chromosomes(染色體), called telomeres, says Idan Shalev, lead author of a study published in Molecular Psychiatry.
Telomeres are special DNA sequences which prevent the DNA in chromosomes from separating. They get shorter each time a cell divides, until a cell cannot divide any more and dies.
Several factors have been found to shorten telomeres, including smoking, radiation and psychological stresses such as being treated badly when young and taking care of a chronically ill person.
In this study, researchers examined whether exposure to violence could make children’s telomeres shorten faster than normal. They interviewed the mothers of 236 children at ages 5, 7 and 10, asking whether the youngsters had been exposed to domestic violence between the mother and her partner; physical maltreatment by an adult; or bullying. Researchers measured the children’s telomeres—in cells obtained by swabbing the insides of their cheeks—at ages 5 and 10.
Telomeres shortened faster in kids exposed to two or more types of violence, says Shalev. Unless that pattern changes, the study suggests, these kids could be expected to develop diseases of aging, such as heart attacks or memory loss, seven to 10 years earlier than their peers.
Shalev says there is hope for these kids. His study found that, in rare cases, telomeres can lengthen. Better nutrition, exercise and stress reduction are three things that may be able to lengthen telomeres, he says.
The study confirms a small but growing number of studies suggesting that early childhood adversity imprints itself in our chromosomes, says Charles Nelson, a professor of pediatrics and neuroscience at Harvard Medical School.
【1】The new study found that ________.
A. hardship can change a childs aging
B. violence leaves scars on a childs mind
C. violence can speed up a childs aging
D. hardship has a long term effect on a childs mind
【2】According to the text, telomeres ________.
A. are at the ends of peoples chromosomes
B. can help prevent DNA from separating
C. can make a cell die quickly
D. become shorter before they die
【3】Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?
A. Violence can cause quick cell division in childrens body.
B. Researchers measured the childrens telomeres from their legs in the study.
C. Being treated badly will make a childs telomeres shorten faster.
D. Children who have shorter telomeres may have a heart attack earlier.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A. Violence Aging Childrens DNA
B. Childrens Changing DNA Patterns
C. Violence and Telomeres
D. The Function of Telomeres

【題目】It has long been thought that first-born children are more successful than their younger brothers and sisters and often have qualities of being more organised and responsible as well as being eager to be in charge.
But a new study has shown that the elder child's achievements can help improve their younger siblings(兄弟姐妹) exam results by helping them to raise their game. For the first time ever, researchers from the University of Essex examined how the success of first born children in school affected their younger brothers and sisters by studying primary school test results.
And the data showed that having an older brother or sister improved a child’s learning with the equal effect of spending an extra 670 on the younger sibling's schooling. One of the study’s authors Birgitta Rabe explained, the older sibling’s achievement may have a direct effect on the younger sibling’s school grades if the older sibling teaches the younger sibling or helps with homework; the younger sibling imitates(模仿) the older sibling, for example in their work style, or tries to be different, for example to avoid competition; the older sibling passes on important information about educational choices or school and teachers to the younger sibling.
The effect is even more noticeable in less well-off families showing poorer children benefit more from a successful older sibling. “We find that the effect is larger for siblings in families relying on free school meals, living in poverty and speaking a language other than English at home. This means that children who live in poverty benefit more from a successful older sibling than children who live in well-off families.”
【1】The study is mainly based on the children’s ________.
A. exam results B. work style
C. family background D. educational choices
【2】According to the study, ________ tend to benefit more from a successful older sibling.
A. the children who live in rich families
B. the children who live in poor families
C. the children whose parents are successful
D. the children whose mother language is English
【3】What can we conclude from the study?
A. Younger siblings are more successful than first borns.
B. First-born children are as successful as their younger siblings.
C. First-born children are more successful than their younger siblings.
D. The success of first borns has positive effects on their younger siblings.
【4】The passage is likely to appear in ________.
A. a newspaper advertisement
B. a high school textbook
C. a science magazine
D. a news report
