Are you an optimist? Do you look at your glass and see it as half full? Do you believe that every cloud has a silver lining and that things generally turn out for the best? Do you believe that if something is meant to be, it will be? If you reply “yes” to all of these questions, then you are an optimist. You probably are enthusiastic, cheerful and outgoing. You may be successful at work and in love.

But you may be misguided because things don't turn out for the best. You may believe that when one door closes another one opens (for example, you may fail to obtain a new job; another chance will come around soon ). Wrong. When one door closes, another door slams ( 砰然关上 ) in your face. That’s bitter reality.

Now a book has been published which confirms what pessimists (悲观者) have suspected all along. It’s called The Positive Power of Defensive Pessimism. Its author argues that defensive pessimism can lead to positive results. Defensive pessimism is a strategy used to manage fear, anxiety and worry. Defensive pessimists prepare for the things by setting low outcomes for themselves. They carefully consider everything that may go wrong and plan for ways to handle these problems. And this gives them a sense of control. Lawrence Sanno, a psychology professor, says, “What's interesting about defensive pessimists is that they tend to be very successful people, so their low opinion of the situation's outcomes is not realistic. They use it to motivate themselves to perform better.”

So far, so good. This is not rocket science. Defensive pessimists prepare carefully and consider what might go wrong, whether at work, on date or even in a sports game. It makes sense to have a back-up plan. There are many sayings in English urging caution. For example, “Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.”

And “Don’t count your chickens until they hatch.” To have a confident and optimistic approach to life’s problems is good. But listen to what Woody Alien, the American comedian says ,” Confidence is what you have before you understand the problem.”

There are pros and cons to being an optimist and a pessimist. Don’t feel bad if you see the glass half empty. You are a realist. But lighten up and hook up with someone who sees the same glass half full.

1.What’s the passage mainly about?

A. The benefits of defensive pessimism.

B. How to become successful in life

C. The dangers of being too optimistic.

D. A book that has recently been published.

2.The underlined sentence “This is not rocket science” ( Para.4 ) means ______.

A. it’s not a dangerous thing to do

B. there is no real proof

C. the cost is not so high

D. it is quite simple to understand

3.Which of the following English expressions would a defensive pessimist believe?

A. Whatever will be, will be.

B. The glass is half full not half empty.

C. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.

D. Every cloud has a silver lining.

4.The writer would probably describe himself as ______.

A. an optimist B. a realist

C. a defeatist D. a scientist

Ashley Power’s mother bought a computer for her when she was eight. When she was thirteen, she was surfing the Internet regularly, but she couldn’t find anywhere for teenagers to meet and talk. And one day she thought, “If I had my own website, I’d make it a really interesting site for teenagers.”

So, when Ashley was sixteen, she launched her own website, called GooseHead. Young people got excited when they searched on this website and step by step they introduced the site to others and made more friends. She had no idea how big a success it would be, but three years later, the site was the most successful teen site in the USA! It was getting 100,000 hits every day, and Ashley had about 30 employees.

After a few years, the website closed down. Then Ashley, who lives in Los Angeles, was asked to write a book called GooseHead Guide to Life. It's safe to say that this is a book for teens that they'll enjoy. The book is about how to design a website and start a business. It begins with a section called “All about Ashley,” where Ashley tells readers what it is like to be the boss of a company when you are only sixteen. “I was so happy. But it was crazy in a lot of ways. I was stressed. I mean, I was only sixteen — I didn’t even have a car! If you were sixteen and you had your own company, you’d be stressed, too!”

In an interview Ashley gave advice to teenagers who wanted to start their own business, “Just be strong and have your dreams and work hard at them. And don’t listen when people tell you that you can’t do it, because I heard ‘no’ a lot. Just keep going until you hear ‘yes’!”

1.What does the first paragraph mainly tell us? (within 10 words)

2.What does the underlined word “launched” mean in English? (within 2 words)

3.According to Paragraph 3, what did Ashley do after GooseHead closed down?(within 10 words)

4.How did Ashley feel as a young boss of a company? (within 5 words)

5.According to Ashley’s advice to success, what do you think is the most important?Why? (within 15 words)

How to Deal With Losing in Sports

Winning and losing go hand-in-hand when it comes to sports. Great athletes never let the highs get too high,

or the lows get too low. The result of a match is uncertain. The only thing that is certain is the competition itself.

1. The result is just the result of all the hard work put in.

Congratulate your opponent (对手) after a loss. Respect your opponent because he put in as much work, or more than you. This shows respect for the opponent and respect for the contest.

Accept the fact that the loss is no one's fault. This is harder to do in an individual sport , but absolutely impor-tant in a team sport. 2. Don't get down on yourself. If competing in an individual sport , accept that losing is apart of competing and move on.

Examine why you lose the competition. Ask yourself if you did everything possible to prepare for the competition. Ask yourself if you gave it all during the competition. 3. This is crucial if competing in an individual sport. If competing in a team sport,recognize that everyone isn't perfect and examine the loss from the team opinion.

4. Practice more, and practice better. Correct whatever mistakes made during the match. Get bigger,

stronger, faster, smarter and do whatever it takes.

Seek out the support and encouragement of teammates and coaches. Don't allow yourself to think negatively.Avoid negative people. 5.__

Never accuse a competitor of cheating, even if it were true. Again, this will make you seem as if you are looking for excuses.

A. Don't put blame to anyone.

B. Work harder to get better.

C. Train hard to achieve your aim.

D. Winning is No. I for great athletes.

E. Great athletes love the competition.

F. Stay positive and trust your work value.

G. Analyze any mistakes you might have made.
