23、l Smokes in Secret US President Barack Obama has just made life more difficult for cigarette makers. He has just signed a law that will set tough new rules for the tobacco industry. The new law gives the US Food and Drug Administration the power to strictly limit the making and marketing of tobacco
24、products. At a White House signing ceremony Monday, Obama said that he was among the nearly 90% of smokers who took up the habit before their 18th birthday. Obama, who has publicly struggled to give up smoking, said he still hasnt completely kicked the habit. Every now and then he still smokes in se
25、cret. “As a former smoker I struggle with it all the time. Do I still smoke sometimes? Yes. Am I a daily smoker, a constant smoker? No.” Obama said at a news conference.“I dont do it in front of my kids. I dont do it in front of my family. I would say that I am 95% cured, but there are times when I
26、mess up,” he said. “Once you go down this path, its something you continually struggle with, which is exactly why the law is so important.

29、king about it or writing it down causes you to make it clear in your own mind. How can you use this to increase your brain power? Start writing. By putting thoughts into words, you are telling yourself the logic (逻辑) behind what you think, feel, or only partly understand. Often, explaining a thought
30、 is the process of understanding. In other words, you increase your brain power by exercising your “explain power.” Try this experiment. Explain how youll increase your brain power, even if you have no idea how right now. Just start with anything, and create an explanation. For example, start with “
31、Ill learn chess,” or “Ill read an article on the mind every week.” Explain how that will help. Youll be surprised how often this becomes a workable plan, and if you actually do this, youll have a better understanding of your brain twenty minutes from now. Another benefit of writing is that it helps
32、you remember. Many, if not most, highly productive people are always taking notes. You can try keeping it all in your head, but if you keep a journal of your ideas the next time youre working on a big project, youll probably have more success. Want to understand a topic? Write a book about it. Thats
33、 an extreme example, but if you are learning something new, write a letter to a friend about it, and you will understand it better. Want to invent something? Write an explanation of the problem, why you want to solve it, and why it is worth solving, and youre half-way there. Writers dont always writ
34、e because they clearly understand something beforehand. Often, they write about something because they want to understand it. You can do the same. Writing will help bring you to an understanding. Give it a try.59. What would be the best title for the text? A. A Way on How to Write B. Increase Your B

37、vise readers to start their writing. B. To explain the importance of writing. C. To persuade readers to become writers. D. To increase readers brain power. C“Love your neighbor as yourself is a saying familiar to most of us. It means that you must have the ability to love and accept yourself in orde
38、r to form and keep satisfying relationship with others. Self-esteem means accepting yourself for who you really are, and believing that you are indeed a worthwhile person who is deserving of love and respect from others.Self-esteem is our sense of how good we feel about ourselves. It is based on our
39、 judgment of ourselves, not on other peoples assessment, but simply on our own. Our self-esteem is not dependent on our talent. Some very ordinary people feel very good about themselves, while other extraordinarily high achievers hold low opinions of themselves.Self-esteem is the primary key to long
40、-term stress management. Why? The first three sources of stress are: predictable life event, unexpected changes and build-up of daily stresses. These are much easier to handle when we believe in ourselves. A positive, healthy self-esteem gives us the “hardiness” (强健) to deal with the difficulties of
41、 life, and to see them as challenges to be met, rather than threats to be feared. The fourth category of stress is entirely the result of a low self-esteem. It is the category of stress that is most common and tiring over the long run. This kind of stress cannot be overcome, or even changed, until t
42、he self-esteem problems that cause it are corrected.Learning to love yourself for who you are is the key to overcoming stress. Self-esteem comes from the self, and cannot be promoted by others. A person who feels that his self-esteem comes from the approval of those around him or her is bound to sel
43、f-destruct (自毁). One cannot keep the level of “performance” required to please everyone else, especially if that performance disagrees with who you are and is simply a facade that makes you popular with the world. When the applause is gone, there is nothing left.Only those who can feel the strength
44、of knowing who they are and those who can feel good about that will survive the stresses of life. Self-esteem is the basis of contentment and positive living.63.

It was only in the twentieth century that people started to study dreams scientifically believing that they tell ab
48、out a persons character. 67 He believed that dreams allow a person to express fantasies or fears, which would be socially unacceptable in real life.The second theory to become popular was Carl Jungs compensation theory. Jung, a former student of Freud, said that the purpose of a dream is not to hide
49、 something, but rather to communicate it to the dreamer. 68 Thus, people who think too highly of themselves may dream about falling; those who think too little of themselves dream of being heroes.Using more recent research, William Domhoff from the University of California found that dreaming is a m
50、ental skill that needs time to develop in humans. 69 Until they reach age five, they cannot express very well what their dreams are about. Once people become adults, there is little or no change in their dreams. The dreams of men and women differ. For instance, the characters that appear in the drea
