is it loving? is it needed? if what we want to say doesnt pass this test, then its better left unsaid.words possess power: both positive and negative. those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively. we can offer hope, build self-esteem(自尊) and motive others to do their best. negative words destroy all those things. will we use our words to hurt or to heal? the choice is ours.56the author argues in the first paragraph that _.awords will never hurt us at all bwords have lasting effects on uscpositive effects last longer than negative effectsdnegative words last longer than positive effects57why should we not feel embarrassed when talking to ourselves?aalmost everybody has the habit of talking to oneself.bit does harm to have “self-talk” when we are alone.ctalking to ourselves helps us to solve all the problems.dtalking to ourselves is believed to be good for our health.58the underlined phrase “give ourselves a pat on the back” in paragraph 3 means _.ablame ourselves bpunish ourselves cpraise ourselves dtalk to ourselves59which of the following statements would the author agree to?ait is better to think twice before talking to others.bit is impossible for unkind words to be forgotten.cwords always possess long positive effects.dkind words are sometimes not needed at all.baverage resources620 m3 waterif we put fresh water and sea water together, we can each have 620 m3 water. but remember, sea water is too salty for us to drink if the factories dont process it first. so, 620 m3 is little. saving water in daily use is important.0.5 hectares of foreststhere are 3.869 billion hectares(公顷) of forests on earth. but we are losing them mainly because we cut trees too much. if we calculate（计算）at the size of a football field, we are losing 343,000 football fields every day, or 1,431 per hour, or 24 per minute!1.5 centimeters long corals(珊瑚)all the corals that we have now spread for about 100,000 km in 109 countries. but each of us can only have such a little piece, because seas are getting polluted and corals are dying.33 starsaccording to the latest report, there are 200 billion stars in the milky way. each of us can have 33 of them. unfortunately, we cannot see most of the 200 billion stars from earth. we can only see about 6,000 stars. if we dont use telescopes or we have bad weathers, we can only see about 2,000 stars.90kg riceon average, we harvest 0.54 billion tons of rice each year round the world and each of us can have 90 kg. asia produces and eats 90% of all the rice. how long will it take you to eat up this 90 kg rice?1 icebergluckily, we still have icebergs to share when earth gets warmer and warmer. each of us can have an iceberg of 170m170m170m. up to 10% of earth surface is covered by ice. there is 31,000,000km3 of ice on earth in all.60. on average we each probably have _ fresh water in the world.a. 620m3 b. more than 620m3 c. far less than 620m3 d. no more than 620m361. we are losing the forests on earth mainly because of_. a. the man-made damage b. the climate changec. the construction of many football fields d.the environmental pollution 62. when we use telescopes or the weather is fine, we can see _stars from earth. a. all the stars b. about 200 billionc. about 2,000d. about 6,00063. according to the table above, we each can only have _ because of pollution. a. less water b. fewer icebergs c. fewer coralsd. less rice cit is true that shyness can be a disadvantage socially for those who suffer from it seriously. i mean real shyness, not somebody who is simply quiet. quiet people could be shy, but on the other hand, they may just be observing because they are unsure of you or others in your company. they may be capable of being extrovert (性格外向的) and sociable, but on some particular occasions, they are quiet.i have learnt from my experience that those who observe and listen more and talk less can gain a position of strength. this means that even a very shy person, the type who is reluctant to talk in company (在交际场合) , especially new company, can become a strong person in just about anything they choose. remember, knowledge is power, and a shy introvert (性格内向的人) is in a better position to gain knowledge than an extrovert. introverted people can give great attention to learning, and as good listeners they can take in an enormous amount from others. over time, people can come to respect them far more than the extrovert who speaks a lot. usually about themselves.what does it take, then for a very shy person to be that successful person they have always wanted to be? they may only need one more thing to push themselves on their way. they need to dare themselves to take the leap; and when they do, they will probably find all the knowledge they have gained over the years will help them on their way to the top in their chosen field.64. what does the first paragraph mainly want to tell us?a. a person who is quiet may not be shy. b. a shy person may not be a calm one.c. quiet people are usually doubtful. d. shyness is sometimes a bad feature.65. the underlined word “reluctant” in paragraph 2 probably means _.a. lazy b. careful c. eager d. unwilling66. according to the author, introverted people can be successful because they usually _.a. have a strong will b. talk less and show off lessc. learn more than extroverts d. have a good attitude to learning67. it can be learned from the last paragraph that “one more thing” probably refers to _.a. energy b. courage c. quietness d. knowledgedsports is not only physically challenging, but it can also mentally challenging. criticism（批评）from coaches(trainers), parents, and other teammates, as well as pressure to win can create too much anxiety or stress for young athletes. stress can be physical, emotional, or psychological, and research has showed that it can lead to burnout. burnout has been described as dropping or quitting of an activity that was at one time enjoyable.the early years of development are critical years for learning about oneself. the sport setting is one where valuable experiences can take place. young athletes can, for example, learn how to cooperate with others, make friends, and gain other social skills that will be used throughout their lives. coaches and parents should be aware, at all times, that their feedback（反馈）to youngsters can greatly affect their children. youngsters may take their parents and coaches criticisms to heart and find a flaw（缺陷） in themselves.coaches and parents should also be cautious that youth sport participation does not become work for children. the outcome of the game should not be more important than the process of learning the sport and other life lessons. in todays youth sport setting, young athletes may be worrying more about who will win instead of enjoying themselves and the sport. following a game, many parents and coaches focus on the outcome and find fault with youngsters performances. positive reinforcement should be provided in spite of the outcome. research shows that positive reinforcement motivates and has a greater effect on learning than criticism. again, criticism can create high levels of stress, which can lead to burnout.68. according to the passage sport is positive for young people in that _ .a. it can help them learn more about societyb. it teaches them how to set realistic goals for themselvesc. it enables them to find flaws in themselvesd. it can provide them with v
