Question

【题目】Sometimes you’ll hear people say that you can’t love others until you love yourself. 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 geniuses 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 built a positive self-image and learnt 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 successes. 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.

It very well might be that you are experiencing a negative self-image because you can’t move past one flaw or weakness that you see about yourself. Well, roll up your sleeves and make a change of it as your primary task. If you think you’re silly because you aren't good at math, find a tutor. If you think you’re weak because you can’t run a mile, get to the track and practice. If you think you’re dull because you don’t wear the latest trends, buy a few new clothes. But remember, just because you think it doesn’t mean it’s true.

The best way to get rid of a negative self-image is to realize that your image is far from objective, and to actively convince yourself of your positive qualities. Changing the way you think and working on those you need to improve will go a long way towards promoting a positive self-image. When you can pat yourself on the back, you’ll know you’re well on your way. Good luck！

【解析】这是一篇议论文。文章论述了如何建立积极的自我形象。

【1】细节理解题。由第一段中的“If you find that believing in yourself is a challenge, it is time you built a positive self-image and learnt to love yourself.”可知，如果你发现相信自己是一个挑战的话（即：如果你没有自信），那么，是时候建立积极的自我形象，学会爱自己了。故B选项正确。

【2】细节理解题。由第二段中的“Self-image is your own mind’s picture of yourself. …Interestingly, our self-images are often quite different from the images others hold about us.”可知，自我形象是你在大脑中对自己的构想。有趣的是，我们的自我形象往往和别人对我们的看法不一样。由此可以推知，我们的自我形象是不真实的。故D选项正确。

【3】细节理解题。由第二段中的“Thus changing the way you think about yourself is the key to changing your self-image and your whole world”可知，改变自己的思维方式是改变自我形象的关键，故A选项正确。

【4】主旨大意题。前两段提出自我形象的概念，第二段最后一句提到：改变自己的思维方式是改变自我形象的关键。最后三段介绍了如何消除消极形象的方式：即：如何建立积极的自我形象。总而言之，文章主要介绍了如何建立积极的自我形象。故B选项正确。

主旨要义型题范围一般包括：短文标题、主题大意或段落大意等。此题型要求考生在理解文章后归纳文章要点，概括中心思想。考生需要分析文章的篇章结构，抓住文章的开头或结尾，从而找出能概括文章的主题句。在第四小题中，前两段提出自我形象的概念。第二段最后一句提到：改变自己的思维方式是改变自我形象的关键。最后三段可以根据每段的首句可知，最后三段介绍了如何消除消极形象的方式。由此可知，该文主要介绍了如何建立积极的自我形象。
