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 mock 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 can not 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, so shall you 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 compliments graciously. "Thanks, I really worked hard on that prospectus. I'm pleased you recognize my efforts. " The congratulations and compliments from others 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!

We’ve considered several ways of paying to cut in linehiring line standersbuying tickets from scalpers (票贩子)or purchasing line?cutting privileges directly fromsayan airline or an amusement park.Each of these deals replaces the morals of the queue (waiting your turn) with the morals of the market (paying a price for faster service)

Markets and queues—paying and waiting—are two different ways of allocating thingsand each is appropriate to different activities.The morals of the queue“First comefirst served”have an egalitarian(平等主义的) appeal.They tell us to ignore privilegepowerand deep pockets.

The principle seems right on playgrounds and at bus stops.But the morals of the queue do not govern all occasions.If I put my house up for saleI have no duty to accept the first offer that comes alongsimply because it’s the first.Selling my house and waiting for a bus are different activitiesproperly governed by different standards.

Sometimes standards changeand it is unclear which principle should apply.Think of the recorded message you hearplayed over and overas you wait on hold when calling your bank“Your call will be answered in the order in which it was received.”This is essential for the morals of the queue.It’s as if the company is trying to ease our impatience with fairness.

But don’t take the recorded message too seriously.Todaysome people’s calls are answered faster than others.Call center technology enables companies to“score”incomings calls and to give faster service to those that come from rich places.You might call this telephonic queue jumping.

Of coursemarkets and queues are not the only ways of allocating things.Some goods we distribute by meritothers by needstill others by chance.Howeverthe tendency of markets to replace queuesand other non?market ways of allocating goods is so common in modern life that we scarcely notice it anymore.It is striking that most of the paid queue?jumping schemes we’ve considered—at airports and amusement parksin call centersdoctors’officesand national parks—are recent developmentsscarcely imaginable three decades ago.The disappearance of the queues in these places may seem an unusual concernbut these are not the only places that markets have entered.

1.According to the authorwhich of the following seems governed by the principle“First comefirst served”

ATaking buses.

BBuying houses.

CFlying with an airline.

DVisiting amusement parks.

2.The example of the recorded message in Paragraphs 4 and 5 illustrates________.

Athe necessity of patience in queuing

Bthe advantage of modern technology

Cthe uncertainty of allocation principle

Dthe fairness of telephonic services

3.The passage is meant to________.

Ajustify paying for faster services

Bdiscuss the morals of allocating things

Canalyze the reason for standing in line

Dcriticize the behavior of queue jumping

The legal age for drinking alcohol in the Unite States is twenty-one. Underage drinking is a crime but also a common part of college social life. This week in our Foreign Student Series, we look at alcohol rules at American colleges and universities. These rules differ from school to school, but many schools have been moving to strengthen their rules.

The United States has more than 17,000,000 students in higher education. Each year, 1700 of them die from alcohol-related road crashes and other injuries. 600,000 more are injured while under the influence of alcohol. And almost 700,000 are attacked by another drunken.

One behavior that college officials are trying to prevent is too much drink. Some researchers have found that students who think binge drinking(狂饮) is normal often think extremely how much other students really drink. A person can die of alcohol poisoning. At Oklahoma University, a nineteen-year-old student died from drinking heavily at a party in 2005.

Now alcohol is banned from all sorority houses(联谊会会馆) and university housing. Student organizations can serve alcohol at events but only on Friday and Saturday nights. Other new requirements include an alcohol education program that first-year students take online.

The rules govern behavior on campus(大学校园)and off. With a first violation(违犯),students pay seventy-five dollars and their parents are told. They must also take an alcohol education class. For a second “strike”, they have to pay one hundred fifty dollars. A third strike means that they have to be suspended school for at least one semester.

Since 2005,363 students have had a first strike. 30 have had a second strike-and only one hasn’t allowed to go to school for one semester. The president at Oklahoma tells us the aim is not just to punish but to change the behavior and culture at the university.

1.The first paragraph mainly tells us that            .

A.the legal age at the lowest for drinking alcohol is 21

B.many colleges consider drinking alcohol to be a crime

C.drinking alcohol is a necessary and popular campus culture

D.American colleges and universities have their own alcohol rules

2.Every year the number of the students who die or are injured because of alcohol in the USA adds up to about        .

A.17,000,000

B.1,301,700

C.601,700

D.1300,000

3.If a student has a third strike, he or she should            .

A.have to stop going to school for a time.

B.be removed to another school

C.be locked at home for a period.

D.be forced to leave school forever.

4.Which of the following is TRUE?

A.College students are not allowed to drink alcohol at any time.

B.If students take an alcohol program online, they can drink alcohol.

C.Students having a first strike only receive punishment of fine.

D.Students with a second strike pay twice as much as students with a first strike.

5.From the last paragraph we can infer that         .

A.alcohol rules have no effect on college students

B.drinking alcohol remains a serious problem

C.alcohol rules aim to change the behavior and culture at the university

D.the number of students drinking alcohol is dropping in one way
