I am a strong believer that if a child is raised 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. He sat but seconds later, as if he didn’t 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 what I had been raised to believe. I was raised to believe that a quiet, calm child was a sure way to success．This child would have the discipline to study hard, get good grades and become someone important in life.

Now those same people perhaps come to realize that their kids are born with their own sets 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.

I have stopped asking my son to sit down and concentrate. Obviously, 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 doesn't mean we need to carry it through generations. There is nothing sweeter than being individual and unique. It makes us free and happy and that's just the way I want my kids to live their own life. 41. At the beginning, the author tried to keep his son seated in order to make him________. A. pay more attention to his study C. finish his homework on time A. the importance of parents C. the relationship between kids and their parents A. We should help kids correct their wrong ways. B. Parents should study their kids’ DNA. C. Kids should be taught to behave themselves. D. Parents should love and accept their kids.

44. The author has stopped asking his son to sit down because __________. A. he has changed his traditional ideas C. his son doesn’t follow his advice A. Study hard and you'll be successful C. Children's success in their own style

B. his son wants to be unique D. his son’s DNA is different B. Be friendly to your children

D. Parents' help with their children's study B. keep silent in the room D. get right answers B. the old form of education D. the good grades of some kids

42. Inspired by the case of his son, the author began to doubt________.

43. According to the passage, which of the following statements is RIGHT?

45. Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?

The Hunchback of Notre Dame is one of the well-known novels written by French author Victor 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 capacity of turning their dreams into buildings.

When it 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 sacrifices for love. In my eyes, she is a lost angel in 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 decision 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 strong 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. It tells not only a sad story, but also reveals human beings' pursuits of love and happiness. However, not everyone receives the same treatment in search of their love and happiness. What should we do when we are confronted with the darkness and unfairness of society? Everyone has different answers, as the characters in the novel do. 46. What struck the author most was _________. A. the content of the book itself C. Esmerelda’s vagrant life A. criticizing and complaining. C. disappointed and upset. A. are put up with

B. power and luxury

D. the architecture, Esmerelda’s beauty and kindness B. admiring and sympathetic. D. regretful and sad

C. are satisfied with

[]47. What’s the author’s attitude towards Esmerelda?

48. The underline word ― are confronted with‖ in the last paragraph can be replaced by _________.

B. are faced with

D. are covered with

49. The best tittle of the passage may be _________. A. Classic novel still teaches us

B. Charming Esmerelda

D. Different lifestyles in the novel C

I had an experience once which taught me something about the ways people 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 would be alive today. It’s my fault that she died.‖ At the second home, the son said, ―If only I hadn’t insisted on her going to Florida, she would be alive today. That long airplane ride was more than she could take. It’s my fault.‖

When things don’t turn out as we would like them to, we tend to think that 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. After 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.

C. The Hunchback of Norte Dame

The second is the thought that we are the cause of what happens, especially 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 attend 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 their sorrow B. they don’t know the natural course of events

C. they believe that they are responsible for what has happened D. they don’t know things often turn out in the opposite direction

51. The underlined part ―the world makes sense‖ in Paragraph 3 probably means that _________. A. everything in the world is planned in advance B. the world can be understood in different ways C. there’s an explanation for everything in the world D. we have to be wise in order to understand the world 52. People have believed since early childhood that _________. A. their wishes are the cause of everything that happens B. life and death is an unsolved mystery C. every story should have a happy ending

[]D. everybody must obey their demand

D

Nothing 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 inspire 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 success?

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 will get them.

Second, govern your behavior based on what other people think. What's more important, be willing to take risks and go the extra miles to achieve better results, in which case mistakes cannot be avoided. Don't hesitate to admit your mistakes, and learn from them. Next, work hard to settle 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 what's even better is that the things you'll do to build self-confidence will also build success — after all, 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. \worked hard on that prospect. I'm pleased you recognize my efforts.\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. Self-confidence really can be learned and built on. Besides, whether you're working on your own self-confidence or building the confidence of people around you, it's well worth the effort!

In management, fairness is a virtue. Numerous academic studies have shown that the most effective leaders are generally those who give employees a voice, treat them with dignity, and base decisions on accurate and complete information.

But there’s a hidden cost to this behavior. We’ve found that although fair managers earn respect, they’re seen as less powerful than other managers — less in control of resources, 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 went a step further, asking, ―Can you have respect and power?‖ We found that it’s hard to gain both.

Consider Hank McKinnell and Karen Katen, two rising stars at Pfizer during the 1990s. McKinnell, who’d served as CFO and run the company’s overseas businesses, was known for his firm negotiating style and no-nonsense, occasionally harsh manner. Katen’s performance had also won her numerous promotions, and she headed Pfizer’s primary operating unit. She treated subordinates and colleagues with respect and was respected in turn

In 2001, when it came time for a new CEO, the two were among the top candidates. McKinnell was chosen. One analyst told Bloomberg, ―Hank is the right guy for the job. He’s 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 exhibited 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 they’d observed; afterward they rated their leader’s power. Rude Manager A consistently scored higher than respectful Manager B — even though there was no difference in how they’d treated the participants themselves. Simply having witnessed the rude and respectful behavior was enough to create the bias.

We’ve long wondered why managers don’t always behave fairly, because doing so would clearly benefit their organizations. Studies show that the success of change initiatives depends largely on fair implementation. Our

55. Which of the following proverbs best goes with Paragraph 4?

research suggests an answer. Managers see respect and power as two mutually exclusive (排他的) avenues, and many choose the latter.

57. It can be inferred from the text that Hank McKinnell _________. A. overvalued power in management B. stressed respect most in daily work C. was fair and mild in management D. could be very strict with his employees

58. What was exhibited by students in the laboratory setting? A. Manager A had respectful behavior but got a lower score. B. Manager B behaved respectfully and got a higher score. C.

Managers whose style is based on respect can’t gain power. B. Companies can’t benefit from placing more value on fairness.

C. Powerful leaders are more likely to get promoted than respectful leaders. D. Everyone sees respect and power as two mutually exclusive avenues. 60. Which could be the best title for the text? A. How CEOs Stay Focused
