20、ll important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyoneelse in the world.

That is the (27)_ first step if we are to have good relationships with others。 How can we hav

21、e good （28） _with others if we dont even have a good relationship with ourselves? The problem might be （29）_ than we expect. Maybe we dont like ourselves without （30) _it. Here is a simple checklist； is there anything you dont like about yourself from these lists？ Maybe you have made mistakes in the

22、 past which make you feel bad. You might be （31） _with yourself on why you could make such mistakes。 Even if that happened in the （32）_ past, your subconscious mind still has a reason not to like yourself。 You might wish that you were born in a different family， or that you have (33） _。 Maybe you co

23、uld not accept the fact that you are not as lucky as others, who seem to get (34) _they want effortlessly because of their background。 Others might have better achievements than you， and no matter how hard you tried, it might seem impossible for you to match them. You might then think that its becau

24、se you are (35) _or dont have enough talents. All these give reasons to you not to like yourself. That in turn makes it difficult for you to be a good friend to yourself。Part III Reading Comprehension （40 minutes）Section ADirections: In this section， there is a passage with ten blanks。 You are requi

28、es。 It shows our (38) _in hair and eye color, in voice, smell, body build. It also records the kind of personality that （39) _to us, whether its the warm and friendly type or the strong, silent type。In short， we fall for and pursue those people who most clearly (40)_ our love map。 And this love map

29、is largely （41) _in childhood. By age eight， the pattern for our (42）_ mate has already begun to float around in our brains.When I lecture, I often ask couples in the audience what drew them to their dates or mates. Answers (43） _from “Shes strong and independent” and “I go for redheads” to “I love

30、his sense of humor” and “That crooked smile, thats what did it.”I believe what they say。 But I also know that if I were to ask those same men and women to describe their mothers， there would be many （44) _between their ideal mates and their moms。 Yes， our mothers the first real love of our lives wri

33、。Make the Most of Your VacationA） When many of us take a vacation, more than anything, we seek to relax. We spend long, lazy days on a beach chair or in a hammock and socialize the night away with rum drinks， fancy martinis， and indulgent desserts。 Too often， we return home heavier and flabbier than

34、 weve been since， well， our last vacation。B） It doesnt have to be this way.C) Active vacations are often the most relaxing of all。 Wait! Its all in defining what an active vacation is. We dont expect you to take up jogging, backpacking， or hang gliding。 Rather， we ask the sedentary vacationers among

35、 you to spend two to four hours a day doing things. Walking the city streets. Exploring a nature preserve。 Going to a zoo. Biking along the ocean。 Taking a leisurely rowboat ride.D) These kinds of activities arent just good for your physical health. They improve your mental health， even your spiritu

36、al health。 And they make vacations memorable and worthwhile。 And after all， isnt that what you want from your vacation? Here are some fresh ideas to make your vacations as pleasurable as they are active and healthy。E) 1。 Make morning time your activity time。 Most likely the weather will be friendlie

37、r， your energy level higher, and your agenda emptier than later in the day.F） 2. Reacquaint yourself with sunrises and sunsets. A walk at dawn or dusk is rejuvenation defined. Try to make this a daily ritual of life away from home, and you will guarantee yourself both physical and spiritual replenis

38、hment （补给，补充）.G） 3。 Get into the water as much as you can. Dont allow yourself to spend all your time sitting in front of the water. Whether it is the ocean， a swimming pool, or a treelined lake， make sure you get into the water for swimming or games or even walking。 Heck， merely standing in waisthi

39、gh water is a good workout， thanks to the action of the water。 And youll feel so much more alive！H） 4. Get on the water as much as you can。 Paddleboats are a blast. Canoeing is a joy。 Rowboats are romantic。 Powerboats exhilarating. Sailboats serene. Kayaks pure adventure。 Inner tubes can erase 50 ye

40、ars from your attitude in a matter of minutes. Even standing at the rail of a steamboat is exciting. Boats make you feel young, and whether you are propelling them or not, they all burn calories and engage your muscles more than being on dry land.I) 5。 Choose a cruise for your trip。 Its amazing how

41、active you can be being stuck on a boat in the middle of the Atlantic. Most cruise ships offer numerous options for seaworthy exercise. Most ships house pools, golf simulators, rock walls, basketball hoops, fitness centers, jogging and walking areas， and instructorled fitness classes and thats just

42、whats on board. During your sea and land excursions you can burn calories as you snorkel, swim, hike, scuba dive， and horseback ride.J) 6。 Get out of the car every two hours. Many of us spend a large chunk of our vacations on the road, either getting to and from our destinations, or using the car fo

43、r sightseeing。 But no matter how beautiful the scenery is, great， memorable vacations dont happen in a car seat。 Dont wait for exhaustion or natures call to get you to pull over。 Frequently get out and stretch， walk， picnic， shop， visit, and have fun. Its important for your health and energy， and it

44、 makes traveling a lot more active and interesting.K) 7。 Play active games. When most people think of outdoor games, they think of team sports like baseball, football， or volleyball, all of which can be both intimidating and excessively strenuous for grownups who stopped playing such things a long t

45、ime back。 So forget about the standard games. All types of fun outdoor games are available today. Start with the old-fashioned ones - badminton, shuffleboard, horseshoes， Wiffle ball, or bocce. Try some new ones too they make great balls out of Nerf these days, and if you havent bought a squirt gun

46、in a while， be prepared for todays amazing supersoakers. Plus all types of new paddle games are available that are easy and fun. Your goal： Play an outdoor game every day while on vacation.L) 8. Create a silly tournament。 Particularly if there are kids on the vacation， it can be a hoot to create you

47、r own mini-Olympics。 For example， if you use the swimming pool every day, have a daily competition, such as holding your breath underwater, or swimming between peoples legs， or having a big splash contest。 Or maybe a weeklong badminton competition。 “Silly” is the operative word dont make it a seriou

48、s competition, but just a chance to have active fun in which everyone participates.M） 9。 Play miniature golf. You burn more calories sitting than lying, standing than sitting， and walking than standing. Although miniature golf wont incinerate fat, it will burn more calories than lying in a hammock。

49、Plus， your kids will have a great time. You probably will too.N） 10. Beware the food obsession。 Lets be honest: For many of us， vacations are about eating splurges. Its fresh seafood by the ocean， amazing restaurants in great cities, unlimited breakfast buffets at the hotel, that ice cream/candy/cak

50、e/jambalaya that you remember as a child and come back for every few years. This is the stuff of great vacations, and dont deny yourself these pleasures. Our suggestion: Limit yourself to one food splurge a day. If you do more, the uniqueness and specialness of the splurges fade away. And youll spen

51、d too much time sitting in restaurants and then sitting some more， recuperating from the overindulgence.O） 11. Explore on foot. Yes, you can use the concierge, the travel guides， the map， or the bus tours to get acquainted with a new location。 But only by getting out and walking can you truly get th

52、e feel of a village, city， resort, or wilderness. We recommend that you plan to spend the first several hours at your vacation destination walking the area. If you are in a city， pick a few restaurants to try while you are walking and make your reservations in person. Be sure to locate the parks， mu

53、seums， and shopping areas.P) 12. Fly a stunt kite。 If theres a good wind blowing at your destination， purchase a stunt kite and take it to the beach or other large open area。 These kites can be easily assembled and then taken apart， making them perfect for traveling。 Youll give your upper body a gre

54、at workout as you struggle to control the kite. You may also have to run or walk to keep the kite in the air - or chase it down once it plummets to the earth。Q) 13。 Schedule an activitybased vacation。 Ready to commit to even more action? Wrap your entire vacation around an activity, such as sailing,

55、 skiing， hiking, biking， or exploring. No expertise is necessary - just a willingness to take on a new challenge。 Travel agents can hook you up with any number of vacation packages targeted from novice to expert， adolescent to senior, single or whole family. If you have children， look for packages t

56、hat include excavating dinosaur bones and other anthropological expeditions， or that teach them a new sport. A ski vacation with lessons for different ages and ability levels works beautifully.46. Biking along the ocean can be included as an active vacation。47。 Swimming and water games can be benefi

57、cial to human health.48. Dont make your own mini-Olympics a serious competition, but just a chance to have active fun in which everyone participates。49。 On vacations one should limit to one food splurge a day.50。 Try to make a walk at dawn or dusk a daily ritual of life away from home。51。 Outdoor games usually refer to team sports like baseball, football， or volleyball, all of which can be both intimidating and excessively strenuous for grownups who stopped playing such things a long time back.52。 Bo
