3.Five Ways to Build Self-Confidence
Walk Faster.
One of the easiest ways to tell how a person feels about herself is to examine her walk.People with confidence walk quickly.They have places to go,people to see,or important work to do.Even if you aren't in a hurry,you can increase your self-confidence by putting some energy in your step.(36)B.
(37)F
One of the best ways to build confidence is listening to an inspiring speech.Unluckily,chances to listen to a great speaker are few.You can fill this need by creating a personal speech.Write a 30~60-second speech that focuses on your strengths and goals then recite it aloud whenever you need a confidence push.
Sit in the Front Row.
In school,offices and some other public places people always sit at the back of the room,(38)A This is for lack of self-confidence.By deciding to sit in the front row,you can get over this meaningless fear and build your self-confidence.
Speak up.
During group discussions many people never express their opinions because they're afraid that people will judge them for their saying something stupid.(39)GBy making an effort to express your opinions at least once in every group discussion,you'll become a better public speaker,more confident in your own thoughts.
Along the same lines as personal appearance,physical fitness has huge effect on self-confidence.(40)DBy making your body fit and strong,you improve your physical appearance,refresh yourself,and learn something positive.
A.Most people prefer that because they're afraid of being noticed.
B.Walking 25% faster will make you look and feel more important.
C.In fact most people feel good after a walk.
D.If you're out of shape,you'll feel unattractive and less energetic.
E.Listen to an Inspiring Speech.
F.Create a Personal Speech.
G.In fact most people are dealing with the same fear.

分析 本文详细讲述了建立自信的几种方法,包括创办个人演讲,多坐前排,学会说话以及建立自己外表的自信等.

解答 36.答案B.根据本段标题"Walk Faster"可知,此段主要讲述了"走得快"是可以建立自信的.通读选项,选项中提及到walk的有BC选项.文中"People with confidence walk quickly"提到要走得快,而不是单纯地走.故选B.
37.答案F.通读全段可知,本段讲述的是演讲对建立自信的影响.选项中提到演讲的有EF选项.从文中"One of the best ways to build confidence is listening to an inspiring speech.Unluckily,chances to listen to a great speaker are few.You can fill this need by creating a personal speech"可知,建立自信的最好方法虽然是听一个演讲,但是机会却很少,所以作者建议大家可以创造一个演讲.故选F.
38.答案A.根据题目"Sit in the Front Row"要坐在前排和后一句"This is for lack of self-confidence"可推测,此空应该是写不敢坐在前排的一些消极的想法,通读选项可知,A项更适合.故选A.
39.答案G.根据前文"they're afraid that people will judge them for their saying something stupid"可知,人们害怕其他人因为不会说话而批判自己.而选项中,G项也提到"are dealing with the same fear"处理这种恐惧.故选G.
40.答案D.前文提到"Along the same lines as personal appearance,physical fitness has huge effect on self-confidence",一个人的外表和身体素质对自信也有影响,则可推测空白处也会提到身体素质或者外形.通读选项发现,选项D中提到"shape".故选D.

点评 七选五是一类完成性阅读.在题型上和完型很类似.在解题时,要在理解文章整体的情况下充分考虑语境和空格前后的句子,注意句子间的逻辑关系.一定要把握信息词.

7.Nowadays people realize the importance of one's intelligence,(25)while/butthey neglect non-intelligence factors.According to a study,American psychologists discovered the main cause of differences in intelligence is not intelligence itself,but non-intelligence factors including the desire(26)to learn(learn),will-power and self-confidence.
Quite a number of teachers and parents don't pay attention to (27)cultivating(cultivate) these factors.Some parents are worried(28)when/iftheir children fail to do well in their studies.They blame either genetic factors,state of poor nutrition,or laziness,but they never take into consideration these non-intelligence factors.Some teachers don't inquire into such reasons as why students do poorly.They simply give them more courses and exercises,or even punish or laugh at them.After all these,students lose self-confidence.Some give themselves up as hopeless,feeling defeated.(29)Othersmay take wrong or evil ways because they are sick of learning.An investigation of more than 1,000 middle school students showed that 46.5% of them were afraid of learning (30)because ofexaminations; and 10.3% were sick of learning.
It is clear that lack of cultivation of non-intelligence factors(31)has been/is(be) a main barrier to intelligence development in teenagers.It even causes an imbalance between physiological and psychological development among students.
Some experts have put forward proposals about(32)howparents and teachers cultivate students'non-intelligence factors.They should be teenagers'best psychologist and fully understand them and they can help them to pursue the objectives of learning,increasing their interests in their studies and toughening their willpower.
