21、aised with approval, he learns to love himself and will be successful in his own way. Several weeks ago, I was doing homework with my son in the third grade and he kept standing up from his chair to go over the math lines. I kept asking him to sit down, telling him that he would concentrate better.
22、He sat but seconds later, as if he didnt even notice he was doing it, he got up again. I was getting frustrated, but then it hit me. I started noticing his answers were much quicker and accurate when he stood up. Could he be more intent while standing up？This made me start questioning myself and wha

24、ts of DNA and personality traits, and all you can do is loving and accepting them. As parents, throughout their growing years and beyond that, we need to be our kids best cheerleaders, guiding them and helping them find their way.

25、he is concentrating just in his own way and not mine. We need to learn to accept our kids ways of doing things. Some way may have worked for me but doesnt mean we need to carry it through generations. There is nothing sweeter than being individual and unique. It makes us free and happy and thats jus

30、ictor Hugo. I have just finished this book.Reflecting on the content of the book, I am most impressed by the architecture of that time, the churches that represented power and luxury. It shows how great architects appreciation of beauty and their capacityof turning their dreams into buildings.When i
31、t comes to the heroine Esmerelda, I am deeply impressed by her beauty and kindness. I love her not only for her fascinating appearance but also because of her good mind and pitiful destiny. We can see her pure beauty from how she treats the goat, how she saves the jobless poet, and how she sacrifice
32、s for love. In my eyes, she is a lost angelin the world. However, all this perfect girl has received is to lead a vagrant (漂泊的) life. She lives in a gutter and is often made fun of by the so-called upper class of society. She is abandoned and threatened. In the end, Esmerelda sadly makes the decisio
33、n to end her life.Different lifestyles are displayed in the novel, like foolish Phoebus and the ugly hunchback Quasimodo. A striking comparison is demonstrated between Phoebus and Quasimodo. They both fall in love with the gypsy (吉普赛人) girl at the same time and both are refused. Their love is so str
34、ong and sincere, while one wants to conquer and the other chooses to sacrifice.I think that may be the real charm of the famous novel.

38、e make a bad situation worse by blaming themselves. One January, I officiated (主持) at two funerals for two elderly women. Both died a natural death. At the first home, the son of the deceased (已故的) woman said, “If only I had sent my mother to Florida and gotten her out of this cold and snow, she wou
39、ld be alive today. Its my fault that she died.” At the second home, the son said, “If only I hadnt insisted on her going to Florida, she would be alive today. That long airplane ride was more than she could take. Its my fault.”When things dont turn out as we would like them to, we tend to think that
40、 had we done things differently, the story would have had a happier ending. Any time there is a death, the survivors will feel guilty. Because the course of action they took turned out bad, they believed that the opposite course, for example, keeping Mother at home, would have turned out better. Aft
41、er all, how could it have turned out any worse?There seem to be two elements involved in our readiness to feel guilty. The first lies in our belief that the world makes sense and that there is a reason for everything that happens. The second is the thought that we are the cause of what happens, espe
42、cially the bad things that happen. The roots of this feeling may lie in our childhood. A baby comes to think that the world exists to meet his needs, and that he makes everything happen in it. He wakes up in the morning and calls the rest of the world to its tasks. He cries, and someone comes to att
43、end to him. When he is hungry, people feed him, and when he is wet, people change him. Very often, we do not completely give up that childish thought that our wishes cause things to happen.50. People feel guilty for the deaths of their loved ones because _.A. they cannot find a better way to express
44、 their sorrowB. they dont know the natural course of eventsC. they believe that they are responsible for what has happenedD. they dont know things often turn out in the opposite direction51.

45、s planned in advanceB. the world can be understood in different waysC. theres an explanation for everything in the worldD. we have to be wise in order to understand the world52. People have believed since early childhood that _.A. their wishes are the cause of everything that happens B. life and dea
46、th is an unsolved mysteryC. every story should have a happy endingD. everybody must obey their demandDNothing succeeds like confidence. When you are truly confident, it radiates from you like sunlight, and attracts success to you like a magnet. Besides, those who are self-confident can in turn inspi
47、re confidence in others: their audience, their peers, their bosses, their customers, and their friends. And gaining the confidence of others is one of the key ways in which a self-confident person finds success. So how can we build a sense of self-confidence and prepare ourselves on the way to succe
48、ss?First, do what you believe to be right, even if others laugh at or criticize you for it. Believe in yourself and believe that you can do it under any circumstances, because if you believe you can, then you really will. The belief keeps you searching for answers, which means that pretty soon you w
49、ill get them.Second, govern your behavior based on what other people think. Whats more important, be willing to take risks and go the extra miles to achieve better results, in which case mistakes cannot be avoided. Dont hesitate to admit your mistakes, and learn from them. Next, work hard to settle
50、the problems in order to cover up your mistakes before anyone notices. Building self-confidence is readily achievable, as long as you have the focus and determination to carry things through. And whats even better is that the things youll do to build self-confidence will also build success after all
51、, your confidence will come from real, solid achievement. No one can take this away from you! As you sow, sow will reap. With your perseverance and improvement, you are getting closer to success. At this stage, wait for others to congratulate you on your accomplishments and praise graciously. Thanks
52、, I really worked hard on that prospect. Im pleased you recognize my efforts. The congratulations and praise from others will promote you to gain further success.Self-confidence is extremely important in almost every aspect of our lives, and it is no wonder that so many people struggle to find it. S
53、elf-confidence really can be learned and built on. Besides, whether youre working on your own self-confidence or building the confidence of people around you, its well worth the effort! 53.

54、ome successfulC. encourage people around to become confidentD. gain the confidence of others and feel successful54. When others congratulate us on our achievements, we are supposed to _.A. politely accept the praise B. gain further improvement C. praise them in return D. expect them to congratulate
55、you again55. Which of the following proverbs best goes with Paragraph 4?A. Look before you leap.B. Learn from past mistakes and avoid future ones. C. Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration.D. It is no use crying over spilt milk.56. The purpose of the text is to _.A. tell people how to become
56、successfulB. convince people to do what they believe to be rightC. criticize people who lack confidence and thus fail in their careerD. encourage people to build confidence and achieve successEIn management, fairness is a virtue. Numerous academic studies have shown that the most effective leaders a
57、re generally those who give employees a voice, treat them with dignity, and base decisions on accurate and complete information.But theres a hidden cost to this behavior. Weve found that although fair managers earn respect, theyre seen as less powerful than other managers less in control of resource
58、s, less able to reward and punish and they may only have a slim chance of attaining certain key leadership roles.Our research, which included lab studies and responses from hundreds of corporate decision makers and employees, began with the age-old question “Should leaders be loved or feared?” We we
59、nt a step further, asking, “Can you have respect and power?” We found that its hard to gain both.Consider Hank McKinnell and Karen Katen, two rising stars at Pfizer during the 1990s. McKinnell, whod served as CFO and run the companys overseas businesses, was known for his firm negotiating style and
60、no-nonsense, occasionally harsh manner. Katens performance had also won her numerous promotions, and she headed Pfizers primary operating unit. She treated subordinates and colleagues with respect and was respected in turnIn 2001, when it came time for a new CEO, the two were among the top candidate
61、s. McKinnell was chosen. One analyst told Bloomberg, “Hank is the right guy for the job. Hes got a toughness about him.”We heard this attitude expressed in a range of industries. Decisions about high-level promotions most often center on perceptions of power, not of fairness.The same bias(倾向) was ex
62、hibited by students in a laboratory setting. Each witnessed a “manager” telling an employee about a compensation decision. Manager A communicated the decision rudely, Manager B with respect. The students were then assigned to work in a group led by the manager theyd observed; afterward they rated th
63、eir leaders power. Rude Manager A consistently scored higher than respectful Manager B even though there was no difference in how theyd treated the participants themselves. Simply having witnessed the rude and respectful behavior was enough to create the bias.Weve long wondered why managers dont alw
64、ays behave fairly, because doing so would clearly benefit their organizations. Studies show that the success of change initiatives depends largely on fair implementation. Our research suggests an answer. Managers see respect and power as two mutually exclusive (排他的) avenues, and many choose the latt
65、er.57. It can be inferred from the text that Hank McKinnell _.A. overvalued power in managementB. stressed respect most in daily workC. was fair and mild in managementD. could be very strict with his employees58. What was exhibited by students in the laboratory setting?A. Manager A had respectful be
66、havior but got a lower score.B. Manager B behaved respectfully and got a higher score.C. Manager A had rude behavior but got a higher score.D. Manager B behaved rudely and got a lower score.59.

67、 power.B. Companies cant benefit from placing more value on fairness.C. Powerful leaders are more likely to get promoted than respectful leaders.D.

Ive learned a great many th
70、ings, but these are the lessons that I wish Id learned earlier:61. _There was a time when everyones opinion was mine as well. Whatever preferences I formerly held were dashed in the face of anothers. This most likely came from a need to please others. Remember that your opinion matters just as much
71、as the next guys, whether they make more money than you or are less popular than you. Everyones opinion holds the same weight.62. _Drama, chaos, and emotional unrest these were what took up most of my time as a teenager. If I had heard someone said bad things behind my back, Id be angry. Go crazy. L
72、ooking back on those tantrums(发怒) now, Im not too surprised. After all, when you have little self control, anything is possible. The lessons here is, remain aware of how you react.63. _Will one small quarrel among friends decide the fate of the entire universe? In my world it felt like it. I just wa
73、nted so much to be right and for them so much to be wrong. But in the end, it only resulted in me wasting my time and in the other person storming off in frustration. Is there really a point to arguing? Unless its absolutely necessary, Ive learned that its better to hold your breath on things you ca
74、nt control at all. Arguing to change someones mind is one of them.64. _Im not saying every parent wants whats best for you (there are outliers), but in general, parents do what they do for you in your best interest. My parents used to make me do the dishes, cook dinner, sweep the floors, mow the law
75、n, take out the garbage the list goes on and on. And at every turn, Id whine and complain. Id eventually end up doing it. Now, I honestly see the value in having learned those skills. I can efficiently cook and clean up after myself.65. _Whenever Id lose a friend, get an awful grade, or disappoint m
76、y parents, I stewed in my own muck. Waiting for the bad moments to go away seemed to be the only solution. Fortunately, I know now that you dont have to be stuck in bad situations. You can go out and create better ones. It all depends on perspective; on how you see the situation. Viewing everything
77、as a learning experience makes life more pleasurable, even during the hard times. You arent stuck. You can move on.Im glad to have learned these lessons the way I did. Each experience helped shape me to become a better person. I dont know if any young people are reading this, but if they are, Id lik
