There is one at the canteen entrance. I always cherish a secret desire to take a peep before it at myself in a beautiful new dre
17、ss. However, each time when it comes to the fulfillment, I get seized with such an uneasiness that I literally stagger awaybacking out at the critical moment. At the root of it is my lack of confidence by which I have been enslaved since childhood. It embarrasses me at the mildest flattery(表扬), crus
18、hes my utmost efforts to say “No”, and prevents me from asking my parents for one cent more than necessary. Among other things, lack of confidence has wormed its way into my love of piano.At the age of 14, one Sunday morning, I was woken up by a resounding hymn(洪亮的圣歌). Tracing that call of God into
19、a neighboring church, I found myself deeply attracted by the melody of a pianosomething beyond the means of my parents. To make it worse, people say a pianist is supposed to have music in the blood, but I believe I had none from my engineer father and technician mother. For days on end, I kept think
20、ing of nothing else. I had a dream. It wasnt a dream after gold, which made some of my close friends to engage in business as self-employed traders or street peddlers. I was sometimes dazzled(眼花缭乱的) by their gold rings or elegant necklaces behind which, however, I seemed to catch sight of skeletons
21、in their cupboards and was frightened away from the craze for fortunate. Out of despair, I retreated into seclusion (独处), lack of confidence weighing heavy on me. I could do nothing but turn to my dream for comfort, for courage to aim high and wish for the impossible. I was convinced that before I c
22、ould afford anything expensive (to me, it was a piano), I should climb up the academic ladder as high as possible. For the next nine years, I carefully held back my aspiration for music to keep my quest for learning, especially in English studies. My efforts were so rewarding that I went successfull
23、y through high school and college in my hometown. When I received the admission notice for a second degree course at a prestigious university in Beijing, the national capital, tears welled up in my eyes. I knew my command of English was my wealth, for I might make a deal with a pianist who would giv
24、e me access to his piano in exchange for English lessons. And that has come true!To this day, whenever I lay my fingers on the snow-white keyboard, ready for a melody, I still feel shy. I am quite aware of my limited music talent, but as a shy dreamer, I have found my way to success.44. According to

She turned to her friends for financial aid. B. She taught English in exchange for piano lessons. C. She was admitted to a u
27、niversity for a second degree course in music. D. She earned money by doing a part-time job to pay for her piano lessons.47. What can we learn from the writers example? A. Wealth always comes after a great effort. B. Confidence is a key factor in success. C. We should be academically successful befo
28、re other achievements. D. We should make every effort to turn a dream into reality.CThere are a variety of ways to think about the self. Two of the most widely used terms are self-concept and self-esteem. Self-concept generally refers to the totality of a complex, organized, and dynamic system of le
29、arned beliefs, attitudes and opinions that people hold about themselves, while self-esteem generally refers to how we feel about or how we value ourselves. There is a great deal of research which shows that the self-concept is, perhaps, the basis for all motivated behavior. It is the self-concept th
30、at gives rise to possible selves, and it is possible selves that create the motivation for behavior. Self-concept is related to self-esteem in that people who have good self-esteem have a clear self-concept. When people know themselves, they can maximize outcomes because they know what they can and
31、cannot do. It would see, then, that one way to impact self-esteem is to obey the somewhat old clich(陈词滥调) of “Know thyself.”There are several different components of self-concept: physical, academic, social and transpersonal. The physical aspect of self-concept relates to that which is concrete: wha
32、t we look like, our sex, height, weight, and what kind of clothes we wear. Our academic self-concept relates to how well we do in school or how well we learn. The social self-concept describes how we relate to other people and the transpersonal self-concept describes how we relate to other supernatu
33、ral or unknown on an emotional or spiritual level.Through self-reflection, people often come to view themselves in a new, more powerful way, and it is through this new, more powerful way of viewing the self that people can develop possible selves. We develop and maintain our self-concept by taking a
34、ction and then reflecting on what we have done and what others tell us about what we have done. We reflect in comparison to our expectations and the expectations of others and to the characteristics and accomplishments of others. Self-concept, thus is developed by the individual through interaction
35、with the environment and reflecting on that interaction. This dynamic aspect of self-concept is important because it indicates that it can be modified or changed.48. It can be inferred from the text that _.A. the author believes most behavior is learned, not born withB. the author doesnt believe tha
36、t ones self-concept can changeC. self-concept and self-esteem are often mistaken for each otherD. the author has doubts about the idea that self-concept is the basis for behavior49. The authors attitude towards the ideas of “know thyself” is _.A. critical B. positive C. neutral D. mixed50. One can c
37、onclude from the text that by developing good self-esteem people can _. A. improve their interactions immenselyB. begin improving their behavior C. begin to develop a clear self-conceptD. correct deficiencies(不足) in their character51. Which of the following would be identified as transpersonal self-
38、concept?A. Our concept of how interested we are in and how well we study supernatural topics. B. Our knowledge of our strange intuition(直觉) about peoples feelings.C. Our understanding of how we relate to a god we believe in.D. Our understanding of our relationship with other people.52. The most appr
39、opriate title for the text would be _.A. The Characteristics of Self-Concept B. The Changeability of Self-ConceptC. Self-Concept and Self-Esteem D. New Research on Self-ConceptDEurope is not a gender-equality heaven. In particular, the corporate workplace will never be completely family-friendly unt
40、il women are part of senior management decisions, and Europes top corporate-governance positions remain overwhelmingly male. Indeed, women hold only 14 percent of positions on Europe corporate boards.The Europe Union is now considering legislation(立法) to compel corporate boards to maintain a certain
41、 proportion of women-up to 60 percent. This proposed mandate(强制执行) was born of frustration. Last year, Europe Commission Vice President Viviane Reding issued a call to voluntary action. Reding invited corporations to sign up for gender balance goal of 40 percent female board membership. But her appe
42、al was considered a failure: only 24 companies took it up.Do we need quotas(定量) to ensure that women can continue to climb the corporate Ladder fairly as they balance work and family?“Personally, I dont like quotas,” Reding said recently. “But I like what the quotas do.” Quotas get action: they “ope
43、n the way to equality and they break through the glass ceiling(女性在工作中遇到的一种无形障碍),” according to Reding, a result seen in France and other countries with legally binding provisions on placing women in top business positions.I understand Redings reluctance-and her frustration. I dont like quotas either
44、; they conflict with my belief in meritocracy(精英管理), government by the capable. But, when one considers the obstacles to achieving the meritocratic ideal, it does look as if a fairer world must be temporarily ordered.After all, four decades of evidence has now shown that corporations in Europe as th
45、e US are evading the meritocratic hiring and promotion of women to top position-no matter how much “soft pressure” is put upon them. When women do break through to the summit of corporate power-as, for example, Sheryl Sandberg recently did at Facebook-they attract massive attention precisely because
46、 they remain the exception to the rule.If appropriate pubic policies were in place to help all women-whether CEOs or their childrens caregivers-and all families, Sandberg would be no more newsworthy than any other highly capable person living in a more just society.53. In the European corporate work
47、place, generally _. A. women take the lead B. men have the final sayC. corporate governance is overwhelmed D. senior management is family-friendly54. According to Reding, quotas may help women _. A. get top business positions B. see through the glass ceiling C. balance work and family D. anticipate
48、legal results55. The authors attitude toward Redings appeal is _. A. skepticalB. objectiveC. indifferentD. approving56. Women entering top management become headlines due to the lack of _. A. more social justice B. massive media attention C. suitable public policies D. greater “soft pressure”第二节（共5小

50、be almost anything. 58 And through overcoming these you learn and start to master completely new skills.2. Can be relevant work experienceSomething that seems to stop many is that experience often seems to be a prerequisite (必备条件) for some jobs. 59 Theres many a journalist that gets his or her start

55、in offices? Many people, I believe, will choose the latter one, but I find 61 surprising that these days people doing manual work get 62 (healthy) bodies than those working in offices.

As a result, restaurant trashcans are often found full of leftover foods, with full plates untouched.The “Eat Up All on the Plates” campaign is intended to reduce the waste and raise peoples awareness.
