That’s a better way to motivate (激发) yourself than saying “I can do it, ” according to a new study that shows giving yourself advice and encouragement in the second-person before an upcoming task may actually improve your performance more than first-person self-talk.

“People are used to receiving and giving advice in the second-person, and they seem to prefer using the second-person pronoun to encourage themselves,” says study co-author, Dr. Sanda Dolcos, a researcher at the University of Illinois. “Self-advice expressed using ‘You’ probably enables people to have a broader perspective(观点), consider how others might view the event, and reproduce the kind of encouragements previously received from others.”

For the study, Dr. Dolcos and her colleague, Dr. Dolores, asked 143 undergraduate students to write down advice to themselves before completing a series of puzzles. Half of the students were asked to use the first-person, while the others wrote in the second-person.

What did the researchers find? The students who wrote in the second-person managed to complete more puzzles and appeared to have a more positive attitude.

The researchers also asked the students to write down advice to themselves in relation to exercising more often in the next two weeks. Those who wrote in the second-person, again, reported a more positive attitude toward the task and even planned to do more exercise than the students who referred to themselves in the first-person.

“We were not surprised and had previous research showing that people spontaneously use ‘You’ in situations that require high levels of self-control and action,” Dolcos said.

But why did the researchers ask students to write down their self-talk instead of saying it out loud? “ Writing as a tool of conversing with oneself has long been used as a therapeutical（治疗的）approach,” Dolcos explained. “However, further research is needed to determine which form of self-advice, written or spoken, is more beneficial.”

1. What did the researchers find?

A. Giving oneself advice and encouragement is very useful.

B. It is more encouraging to talk to oneself using the second-person.

C. First-person self-talk will not improve your performance.

D. A good way to motivate yourself is saying “I can do it”.

2.How did the students perform in the experiment?

A. The ones who wrote in the first-person had a better attitude.

B. The ones who talked to themselves completed the most puzzles.

C. The ones who encouraged themselves by writing in the second-person were better.

D. The ones who encouraged themselves in the first-person were more positive than others.

3. What does the underlined word “spontaneously” probably mean?

A. Against one’s will.

B. For one’s own interest.

C. On one’s own initiative (自发的).

D. Out of other peoples’ feelings.

4. What may the last two paragraphs imply?

A. Writing is a good style of conversation for oneself.

B. Writing can cure many diseases, and it has been proven by experts.

C. Whether written self-advice is better still needs to be tested.

When I was about 12, I had an enemy(敌人），a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings(缺点). Week by week her list grew: I was very thin, I wasn't a good student, I talked too much, I was too proud, and so on. I tried to hear all this as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.

He listened to me quietly, then he asked. “Are the things she says true or not? Janet, didn't you ever wonder what you're really like ? Well, you now have that girl's opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.”

I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn't change (like being very thin), but a good number I could—and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I go to a fairly clear picture of myself.

I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused to take it.“That's just for you,” he said.“You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears in anger and feeling hurt. When something said about you is true, you'll find it will be of help to you. Our world is full of people who think they know your duty. Don't shut your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do.”

Daddy's advice has returned to me at many important moments. In my life, I've never had a better piece of advice.

1.What did the father do after he had heard his daughter's complaint?

B. He criticized (批评) her and told her to overcome her shortcomings.

C. He told her to write down all that her “enemy” had said about her and pay attention only to the things that were true.

D. He refused to take the list and have a look at it.

2.What does “Week by week her list grew” mean?

A. Week by week she discovered more shortcomings of mine and pointed them out to me.

B. She had made a list of my shortcomings and she kept on adding new ones to it so that it was growing longer and longer.

C. I was having more and more shortcomings as time went on.

D. Week by week, my shortcomings grew more serious.

3.Which do you think would be the best title for this passage?

A. Not an Enemy, but the Best Friend

B. My Father

C. The Best Advice I've Ever Had

D. My Childhood

New York University (NYU) is one of the best universities in the United States and it has just opened a school in Shanghai in partnership with East China Normal University(ECNU). The arrival of the American university on China mainland is an example of what is being called the “globalization” of education and it is hoped that this trend will influence the quality of education in all of China’s universities by raising the standard of teaching.

NYU Shanghai’s class of 2017(students will graduate in 2017) is made up of 295 students from China, America and other countries. The students will study liberal arts courses for two years before choosing a major and when they graduate, they will receive a degree from NYU and a degree from ECNU. All the classes will be taught in English, using the teaching methods in American universities. Students will be pushed to take risks in the classroom, pushed to speak up and pushed to say things that are not completely correct, which can make them understand that it’s OK for them to make mistakes in class.

This style of learning will be challenging for many Chinese students, because they will be mixed with the foreign students both in the classroom and in the dormitory. Living and studying with foreigners day to day will provide Chinese students with a cultural as well as academic education and it’s hoped that this cross-cultural experience will benefit them when they seek jobs in the competitive global market.

China’s interest in partnering with foreign universities comes at a time when western universities are trying to expand. They realize that information, technology and business are now borderless; they also realize education should be borderless too. This trend will have a deep effect on bringing the world closer together and the students at NYU Shanghai should be excited to be on the leading edge of this trend.

1.The opening of NYU Shanghai class may help _________.

A. improve the quality of China’s university education

B. prove that NYU is the best university in the United States

C. send more Chinese students to foreign universities

2.What is the NYU Shanghai’s class like?

A. It offers the same courses as NYU does in the US.

B. It’s hard to follow the classes without knowing English.

C. The students are majoring in liberal arts courses.

D. Only two-year courses will be provided in this class.

3. How should the students perform in the classroom?

A. They must express themselves correctly.

B. They should try to be active in the class.

C. They will learn something dangerous.

D. They have to correct their mistakes.

4. What can be inferred from Paragraph3?

A. More foreign students will work in Shanghai after graduation.

B. Chinese students will get a better education than foreign students.

C. It may be easier for the students to find jobs after graduation.

D. No foreign students can benefit from the cross-cultural experience.

5.Why are the western universities trying to expand?

A. Because they want to get more information and more money.

B. Because they want to improve their technology.
