Sometimes you’ll hear people say that you can’t expect someone else to love you until you love yourself. Either way, you’ve got to love yourself first and this can be tricky. Sure we all know that we’re the apple of our parents’ eyes, and that our Grandmas think we’re great talents and our Uncle Roberts think that we will go to the Olympics. But sometimes it’s a lot harder to think such nice thoughts about ourselves. 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 mind’s 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-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 to step back and decide to stress your success. That is, make a list if you need to, but write down all of the great things you do every day. Don’t allow doubts to occur in it.  56. You need to build a positive self-image when you _________.A. dare to challenge yourself    B. feel it hard to change yourselfC. are unconfident of yourself    D. have a high opinion of yourself57. According to the passage, our self-images _________.A. have positive effects               B. are probably untrueC. are often changeable               D. have different functions58. How should you change your self-image according to the passage?A. To keep a different image of others.   B. To make your life successful.C. To understand your own world.    D. To change the way you think.59. Who are the intended readers of the passage?A. Parents.       B. Adolescents.         C. Educators.      D. People in general.                                     B  It's not about how much money you make, and it's not about who your daddy is. And no, it's definitely not about whether you look like Tom Cruise or his wife Katie Holmes ... What it is about is these simple things, things that maybe even a person like Tom Cruise does not have.We're talking about being attractive in general, whether it's on a job interview or just gaining the respect of your colleagues.Ask lots of questionsIn other words, be humble. If you come across as a know-it-all (even if you really do know it all!)， it really pushes people away. Rather, asking lots and lots of questions (even dumb ones) makes people feel like you care, you can be trusted, and you are... humble.Stay busyDo you really know the power of this? We're told to stay busy to prevent depression and feelings of anxiety. But did you know you should also stay busy to be really attractive? It's true. Always have something to do. Have you ever seen someone just sitting around, doing nothing? How unattractive. Always be busy with something, even if for some reason you have to make something up.Show your pearly whites (or just smile)Smile more, no matter how ugly your teeth are. I'm not kidding about this one. It's not all about the teeth. If you are smiling genuinely, you can draw everyone for 100 meters around to you.Be interested in other menBe interested in the other person. Again, ask them questions. Don't talk about yourself... remove attention from yourself. If you are truly interested in the person, it will come across. And if you want to talk about yourself, you'll find that putting the other person first actually opens him up to return the favor and ask you questions. See how fun this is?So, yes it is possible to be the most attractive person in the world. If you've noticed the ring throughout the article, it has a lot to do with just being confident in who you are. Nobody needs to look like Tom Cruise or Will Smith or their wives, or anyone else for that matter. Every person, of every race, of every nationality, of every background, can be the most attractive person in the world.60. In the writer’s opinion, attractiveness is determined by a person’s ________.A. good looks    B. white teeth   C. confidence   D. race61. The underlined sentence means that __________.A. if you are a know-it-all, you are surely welcomeB. being a know-it-all may keep people away from youC. a person should pretend to be a know-it-all when communicating with othersD. people admire a person who know it all62. In order to be attractive, you should do followings EXCEPT ________.A. Behave like Tom Cruise  B. ask questions    C. smile   D. keep busy63. The main idea of the article is to tell us _________.A. How to make friends           B. How to build your confidenceC. How to reduce depression       D. How to be attractive                                    CBBC Sports program Sunday.We are currently planning our Volunteer Program, which will ensure volunteers are trained and ready to go for 2012.Up to 70,000 volunteers will be needed to help put on the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Joggers have been found to live an average of six years longer than those who don't jog. However, you’ll have to run for at least one hour a week for benefit, according to a new study in Denmark. Researchers found that jogging was associated with a 44 per cent reduction in the relative risk of death for those over 35 years compared with deaths among those who did not run. The same benefit applied to both men and women. The 44 per cent reduction translates to an ‘age-adjusted survival benefit’ of 6.2 years in men and 5.6 years in women, according to Dr. Peter Schnohr, chief cardiologist from the Copenhagen City Heart study.Furthermore, the jogger’s lives are not only longer but happier too as those who ran reported an overall sense of well-being, said Schnohr. The results of our research allow us to definitively answer the question of whether jogging is good for your health,' Schnohr said in a statement.'We can say with certainty that regular jogging increases longevity. The good news is that you don't actually need to do that much to reap the benefits,' he continued. The study also found that the optimum benefit of jogging was for those who jogged at a slow-to-average pace for between an hour and two and a half hours spread over two or three weekly sessions.Researchers then compared deaths among the joggers among the non-joggers in the main study pool of almost 20,000.Over 35 years, 122 joggers died compared with 10,158 non-joggers.  All the participants involved with the Copenhagen City Heart Study had their cholesterol, blood pressure, blood glucose, and BMI, measured and they were questioned about smoking, alcohol consumption, education, and income.68. In order to do good to health, the joggers should run ______.A. for at least one hour dailyB. for at least one hour weeklyC. for at least one hour monthlyD. for at least one hour yearly69. Why do joggers live more happily?A. Because they taste part sense of happiness.B. Because they taste overall sense of hardship.C. Because they taste whole sense of happiness.D. Because they taste part sense of success.70. Which of the following is true according to the article?A. Regular jogging decreases longevity.B. The more jogging you do the longer you live.C. The less jogging you do the longer you live.D. Regular jogging makes people live longer.71. It can be inferred that the study of jogging benefit is ______.A. complete and reliableB. partial and unbelievable C. incomplete but reasonableD. reasonable but undependable                                                  EThere are many commonly held beliefs about eye glasses and eyesight that are not proven facts. For instance, some people believe that wearing glasses too soon weakens the eyes. But there is no evidence to show that the structure of eyes is changed by wearing glasses at a young age. Wearing the wrong glasses, however, can prove harmful. Studies show that for adults there is no danger, but children can develop loss of vision if they have glasses inappropriate for their eyes.We have all heard some of the common myths about how eyesight gets bad. Most people believe that reading in dim light causes poor eyesight, but that is untrue. Too little light makes the eyes work harder, so they do get tired and strained. Eyestrain also results from reading a lot, reading in bed, and watching too much television. However, although eyestrain may cause some pain or headaches, it does not permanently damage eyesight.Another myth about eyes is that they can be replaced, or transferred from one person to another. They are close to one million nerve fibers(纤维) that connect the eyeball to the brain, so  it is impossible to attach them all in a new person. Only certain parts of the eye can be replaced. But if we keep clearing up the myths and learning more about the eyes, some day a full transplant may be possible.72. If a child wears appropriate glasses, __________________________.A. he will lose sightB. the structure of his eyes will be changed C. it is harmfulD. the structure of his eyes will keep the same as before73.  If an adult wears inappropriate glasses, __________________.A. it will make no difference to his eyesB he will suffer a lot from the loss of visionC. his eyes will be weakenedD. the structure of his eyes will be changed74.  With the technology we now have, doctors _______________. A. still can’t do eye transplant even certain parts of the eyeB. can transplant the whole eye in a new person C. can transfer certain parts of the eye in a new personD. know almost nothing about eyes75.  The author of the passage tends to _________________.  A. explain wearing glasses is no harm to childrenB. correct people’s wrong beliefs about eyes C. explain the importance of protecting our eyesD. imagine what doctors can do with the eye in the future 第二卷  （非选择题，共35分）第四部分：写作（共两节，满分35分）第一节：任务型读写（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分）请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词，注意：每空格1个单词。People who enjoy a dream-filled sleep are better at recalling information and making links between facts when waking. But recharging with a shallow nap（小睡）offers no such mental improvement, the research suggests. The results of the study add to the growing body of evidence that Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep is very important to the brain’s ability to from strong memories.An average night’s rest includes four or five spells of REM sleep, but these bursts tend to be lengthier towards the end of the night. This means adults getting less than the recommended seven to eight hours a night – and therefore adequate REM sleep—may be damaging their mind’s ability to memorize. Although REM sleep is not classified as a type of deep sleep, it is only reached after the brain has passed through deep sleep stages.In the recent study, participants were shown groups of three words and asked to find another word that can be associated with all three words. They were tested once in the morning and then given the same task again in the afternoon. In between, some were allowed a nap with REM sleep, some a nap without REM sleep, while the others had a quiet rest period. The quiet rest and non-REM sleep groups didn’t improve, but the REM sleep group improved on their morning performance by an average of almost 40 per cent. Dr Sara Mednick, a sleep researcher at the University of California who led the study, believes the formation of connections between previously unassociated information in the brain occurs during REM sleep.        It is believed that sleep acts as a sort of mental filing system, enabling the brain to sort relevant information from useless information. This process may take place as memories are removed from one part of the brain to others.

Private cars have become one of the main means of transport I n our daily life. Meanwhile, to release the traffic pressure, a free bicycle-rent service has come into being, promoting a greener way of life.As far as I am concerned, if the destination is not far away, bicycle is a much better choice. For one thing, the number of cars has increased so faster that you may easily get stuck in the traffic jam wasting your precious time in the rush hour. For another, riding a bicycle takes the same amount time as using public transportation or a private car and it is obviously more convenient, time saving and environmentally friendly.For a better and greener world, let’s choose bicycles as our main means of transport.
