11、ed have lunch, talk on the phone or exchange e-mails, and they all seemed normal enough. But then came Facebook and I was introduced to a sad fact: many of my friends have dark sides that they had kept from me. Today my friends show off the more unpleasant aspects of their personalities via Facebook

12、. No longer hidden, theyre thrown in my face like TV commercials unavoidable and endless advertisements for the worst of their personalities. Take Fred. If you were to have lunch with him, youd find him warm, and down-to-earth. Read his Facebook and you realize hes an unbearable, food-obsessed bore.

13、 Hed pause to have a cup of coffee on his way to save a drowning man and then write about it. Take Andy. You wont find a smarter CEO anywhere, but now hes a CEO without a company to lull. So he plays Mafia Wars on Facebook. Hes doing well level 731. Thanks to Facebook, I know hes playing about 18 ho

14、urs a day. Andy, youve run four companies and this is how you spend your downtime? What happened to golf? What happened to getting another job? Take Liz. She is positive that the H1N1 vaccine will kill us all and that we should avoid it. And then comes Chris who likes to post at least 20 times a day

15、 on every website he can find, so I get to read his thoughts twice, once on Facebook and once on Twitter. In real life, I dont see these sides of people. Face to face, my friends show me their best. Theyre nice, smart people. But face to Facebook, my friends are like a blind date which goes horribly

16、 wrong. Im left with a dilemma. Who is my real friend? Is it the Liz I have lunch with or the anti-vaccine lunatic(狂人)on Facebook?

Sometimes youll hear people say that you cant expect someone else to love you until you love yourself. Either

19、way, youve got to love yourself first and this can be tricky. Surely we all know that were the apple of our parents eyes, and that our Grandmas think were great talents and our Uncle Roberts think that we will go to the Olympics, but sometimes its a lot harder to think such nice thoughts about ourse

20、lves. If you find that believing in yourself is a challenge, it is time you build a positive self-image and learn to love yourself.Self-image is your own minds picture of yourself. This image includes the way you look, the way you act, the way you talk and the way you think. Interestingly, our self-

21、images are often quite different from the images others hold about us. Unfortunately, most of these images are more negative than they should be. Thus changing the way you think about yourself is the key to changing your self-image and your whole world.The best way to defeat a passive self-image is

22、to step back and decide to stress your successes. That is, make a list if you need to, but write down all of the great things you do every day. Dont allow doubts to occur in it.It very well might be that you are experiencing a negative self-image because you cant move past one flaw or weakness that

23、you see about yourself. Well, roll up your sleeves and make a change of it as your primary task. If you think youre silly because you arent good at math, find a tutor. If you think youre weak because you cant run a mile, get to the track and practice. If you think youre dull because you dont wear th

24、e latest trends, buy a few new clothes.

28、 While most of us are happy to take the credit when things go well, few of us are willing to take the blame when things go wrong. Rather than trying to hide our shame or embarrassment, experts found that we are simply less aware when our actions result in a negative outcome. The research may explain

29、 why we often feel it hard to take the blame for our actions. “Our result suggests that people may really experience less responsibility for negative than for positive outcomes,” said Patrick Haggard, leading researcher and professor of the institute of In a series of tests, participants were asked

30、to press a key. A sound then followed, either disapproving, neutral or approving, and they were then asked to estimate the time between the action and when they had heard the sound. Researchers found that individuals experienced different levels of responsibility depending on the outcomes. They also

31、 discovered they were significantly slower to recognize if their actions had resulted in a bad consequence, compared to when they had done well. “Effectively, we have found that we experience a negative outcome differently, not just retell it differently. We make a weaker connection when there is a

32、bad result. And respond much more strongly when something good happens,” said Professor Haggard. When something goes right, everyone wants to take the credit, and when things go wrong, nobody is interested in putting their hand up. The researchers said our brain is “very much concerned” with reward,

33、 as good results are key to survival. Although our own perception (认知) of whether we are guilty of something or not is changed by the outcome, this does not provide a defence if we have done something wrong. “Our experience of our own responsibilities can be misleading and can be strongly coloured b

34、y the outcomes of our actions,” said Professor Haggard. “We have to take responsibility for what we actually do, not just for how we experience things.”People who dont take the blame for their actions _.A. are less aware of what to do when a negative outcome happensB. always try to hide their shame

35、or embarrassment.C. are only willing to take the credit when things go wellD. are less responsible for negative than for positive outcomes29. According to the passage, a person who is concerned with reward is _.A. stubbornB. naturalC. awkward D. absurd30. Which of the following statements is TRUE? A

36、. When something bad happens, nobody is interested in dealing with the problem. B. People were quicker to recognize if their actions had resulted in a bad consequence. C. Our responsibilities can be strongly affected by the outcomes of our actions. D. Participants were asked to count the time betwee

37、n pressing a key and hearing the sound.31. What does the author intend to tell us in the last paragraph? A. We should take more responsibility for what we do. B. The reasons why people cant accept blame when things go wrong. C. Different levels of responsibility depend on the outcomes. D. Peoples re

38、action to good results and bad results. D There are two types of people in the world. Although they have an equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy, while the other becomes unhappy. This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons and

39、 events and the resulting effects upon their minds. People who are happy fix their attention on the convenience of things. They enjoy all cheerful things. Those who are unhappy think and speak only of unpleasant things. Through their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend many people, an

40、d make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind is founded in nature, such unhappy people should be pitied. The intention of criticizing and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation（模仿）. It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it can be c

41、ured when those who have it realize its bad effects. Although this attitude is mainly an act of the imagination, it has serious results since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. If such people aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyon

42、e speak a word in favor of their hopes. If they are criticized, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join in criticizing their wrong doings. So they should change this bad habit and stop worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid

43、any contact with them. Otherwise, they will have a disagreeable time, especially when someone becomes mixed up in their quarrels.32. How does the writer tell the happy from the unhappy?A. According to their attitudes to the same thing. B. According to their wealth.C. According to their degree of hea

44、lth. D. According to their habits.33. The phrase “sour the pleasure of society” probably means “_”.A. have a good attitude towards social lifeB. enjoy the pleasure of life C. tend to scold others openly D. make others unhappy34. If such unhappy people insist on keeping the habit, the author suggests

45、 that people should _.A. persuade them to recognize the bad effects of their habits B. show no respect for themC. quarrel with them until they realize their mistakes D. not have any communication with them 35. In this passage, the writer mainly _.A. describes two types of people B. laughs at unhappy

46、 peopleC. tells people how to be happy in life D. suggests ways to help unhappy people 第二节 （共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Choosing a college major is one of the most important choices you can make about your education and future career. 36 .
