26、sts? A.BhutanB.SeychellesC.CanadaD.SurinameBHave you ever felt like you are not given the kind of respect you deserve?In one way or another,all of us have felt this way.Weve yearned（渴望）to be looked at as an authority,someone people look up to and trust.Were not taught in school how to do this and ou

27、r parents didnt tell us the secret on how to establish our authority.Its something we learn and gain by ourselves.And the answer is as simple as changing our mindset.What?No way!Oh but it is.People tend to underestimate the power of the mind.Change your game by changing your mind.Take time to look b

28、ack and think about people in your life who are an authority or a leader at work,who has more credibility（可信度）than you or who you look up to and inspires you.They are up there not for the reasons you think.If you really think about it,they arent the smartest of the bunch,not the most educated,and ne

29、ither are they the best.And in no way do they even call themselves an expert.Instead,they are up there because they are great teachers and advocates（支持者）for the success of their customers or employees.Lets take Richard Simmons for example.This famous fitness personality has been a household name eve

30、r since he started gaining popularity during the first few years of his career.Stop and think,though,do you really think he is the best person to really get people into shape?Is he the Einstein of fitness and nutrition?Or does he even call himself a master of his craft?Of course not.People look up t

31、o him and give him authority because he is a great educator. Instead of sharing information thats far too complicated to understand,he figures out what your problems are and finds out a way to fix them.He even has social media that he updates on a regular basis with topics that are helpful and easy

32、to understand for his fans and followers.Depending on the field youre in,you can share with people things you know and that you think they will want to know as well.If youre a nurse,for example,you can make a blog post for common health problems and quick remedies（治疗方法）people can do at home.Remember

33、,the simpler you can make it,the better.People will trust you completely if you give them easy solutions.Like Richard,youll soon be the expert youll want to listen to.You can be an advocate also by showing people that you have their best interests at heart.You can also start up conferences to take u

34、p peoples concerns and try to deal with them the best way that you can.So,how will you be viewed as an authority?Make that mind shift.Find out what concerns and troubles your target.Give solutions.Show that you care.And help them climb up that ladder of success.Ladies and gentlemen,thats how its don

35、e.59.What can we know about Richard Simmons?A.He is as intelligent as Einstein.B.He believed himself to be a master of fitness.C.He became popular in the first few years of his career.D.He shares complex information with his fans and followers.60.The example of a nurse in Paragraph 4 is used to tell

36、 us . A.the importance of trust B.the pleasure of being a nurseC.the ways of becoming an authority D.the benefits of learning first aid61.Which of the following would the author most probably agree with?A.People always think highly of the power of the mind. B.You can gain the knowledge of becoming a

37、n authority at school.C.People considered as authorities are those with higher education.D.Providing easy solutions for people can help increase your credibility.62.Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?(P=paragraph)CIts generally believed that people act the way they do because

38、of their personalities and attitudes.They recycle their garbage because they care about the environment.They pay $5 for a caramel brulee latte because they like expensive coffee drinks.Its undeniable that behavior comes from our inner dispositions（性情）,but in many instances we also draw inferences ab

39、out who we are,as suggested by the social psychologist Daryl Bern,by observing our own behavior.We can be strangers to ourselves.If we knew our own minds,why would we need to guess what our preferences are from our behavior?If our minds were an open book,we would know exactly how much we care about

40、the environment or like lattes.Actually,we often need to look to our behavior to figure out who we are.Moreover,we dont just use our behavior to learn about our particular types of characterwe infer characters that werent there before.Our behavior is often shaped by little pressures around us,which

41、we fail to recognize.Maybe we recycle because our wives and neighbors would disapprove if we didnt.Maybe we buy lattes in order to impress the people around us.We should not mistakenly believe that we always behave as a result of some inner disposition.Whatever pressures there can be or inferences o

42、ne can make,people become what they do,though it may not be in compliance（符合）with their true desires.Therefore,we should all bear in mind Kurt Vonneguts advice:We are what we pretend to be,so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.63.According to the passage,personalities and attitudes are c

43、ommonly believed to_.A.determine ones behavior B.reflect ones tasteC.influence ones surroundings D.result from ones habits64.Which of the following would Daryl Bern most probably agree with?A.The return of a wallet can indicate ones honesty. B.A kind person will offer his seat to the old.C.One recyc

44、les plastics to protect the environment. D.One buys latte out of true love of coffee.65.What can be inferred from the underlined sentence in the passage?A.We fail to realize our inner dispositions. B.We can be influenced by outside pressures.C.Our behavior is the result of our true desires. D.Our ch

45、aracters can shape our social relationships.66.What does the author mainly discuss in the passage?A.Personalities and attitudes. B.Preferences and habits.C.Behavior and personalities. D.Attitudes and preferences.DOn a recent visit to the Museum of Modem Art with a friend and her daughter,wandering t

46、hrough the museums exhibits,I was struck by how often my friends 13-year-old daughter asked us to take photos of her with her smart phone in front of the artwork.Then,she gazed at the photos which she would then post on Instagram,Snapchat and all the rest.She was not the only person who was doing th

47、is; it seemed everyone was busy taking photos of themselves experiencing the museum.This is by no means a criticism of my friends daughter or anyone else.What was concerning,at least to me,was that in between being photographed and posting,my friends daughter had no interest in the artwork,a fact wh

48、ich didnt seem to matter or have anything to do with wanting to post herself as someone enjoying the experience. When I was her age,I had no interest in going to museums either.Having no interest in art at her age (and any age) is completely normal.But what is disturbing is how much of a young perso

49、ns energy these days goes into creating an image of the life theyre living and the character they are in that life.While creating a self-image has always been a big part of growing up and figuring out our identity,social media seems to have changed the rules of the game.Social media has not just inc

50、reased the pressure and possibility of creating a self-generated（自我创造的） self-image,but also distorted（歪曲）the process through which we become who we are.Young people now seem to be creating an image of who they are in place of becoming who they are,posting their life rather than living it.Social medi

51、a has turned life and its experiences into an exercise in narcissism（自恋，自我陶醉）.No matter what the experience is actually about,it becomes about you,the person who is living it.A concert is not about the music,a restaurant not about the food and a sport event not about the sport;its all about you,the

52、doer,and what the event says about you.As a result the more we use life create an identity,the more distant from life we feel.Instead of being part of it,we feel as if we have to keep generating new life material.I hope the next time you post your story,pause for a moment and experience where you ar

53、e,feel what it feels like to live what youre living without using life for your benefit,or for anything at all.Just live,without the narrative（叙述）.While you may feel this practice is a threat to your identity,causing you to miss a chance to prove your value,in fact,the benefit will far outweigh any

54、loss it brings.67.According to the author,the fact that her friends daughter was not interested in the artwork is_.A.worrying B.unsurprising C.unchangeable D.unbearable68.Which of the following is the basic reason behind peoples continuously posting their life?A.Their desire for being well known.B.T

55、heir increased focus on life.C.The influence of social media. D.The pressure from their family and friends.69.The author believes that the identity people create through narcissism may_.A.prevent them behaving properly B.stand in the way of leading a true lifeC.cause them to depend more on the remar

56、ks of others D.damage their creativity in producing life material70.The underlined it in the last paragraph refers to_.A.trying to take control of your feelings B.facing the threat to your identity bravelyC.improving your self-image through writing D.experiencing what youre doing practically第卷（非选择题，
