Recent studies show that only one out of three people have strong and healthy self-confidence. That 36 two out of every three people simply don’t know the 37 they already have to be successful when it’s 38 there in their hands! 39 if you want others to believe in you, you have to believe in yourself first. Remember: “No one can make you feel inferior (差的)unless you 40 them.” A successful businessman says, “You can’t push anyone up a ladder 41 he knows he can climb himself.”
Many of us have an image 42 , the image（形象） we have of ourselves. 43 one guy put it: “You can’t win a horse race if you think you look 44 on a horse.” To succeed, the first person you have to 45 is yourself! So stop believing your own lies about yourself. Just 46 your mind and you’ll change your life.
One of the most harmful weapons that can kill your success in life are the two little words: “ 47 ”. You know that people used to 48 that if human beings traveled faster than 30 miles an hour it would 49 our circulation（循环）of blood and kill us? Thank goodness a few people didn’t believe that 50 thinking, or we wouldn’t be riding in cars, buses, and flying in airplanes today. You’ll never know until you 51 .

Yet only weeks after Bannister did it, suddenly 54 all over the world began running a mile in less than 4 minutes! If we believe something can be done, we’ll 55 do it.

Most of the flowers in nature are red, orange and yellow. If we have seen a black flower, it’s a chance in a million.

People have made a census (普查) to colors of mor e than four thousand kinds of flowers and discovered that only eight of them are black.

As we know, sunlight is formed by seven different colored lights.The wave length of each light is different, so the quantity of heat in each light is also different. Flowers, especially their petals, are easy to be harmed by light temperature.

Black flowers can take in all the light waves which cause the flowers to dry up in the high temperature. So black flowers can rarely survive sunlight. But red flowers, yellow flowers and orange flowers can protect themselves from sunlight by reflecting the red light, yellow light and orange light, each of which has a large quantity of heat.

1. It is _____ to see a black flower.

A. impossible B. seldom C. common D. no chance

2. From the passage we know that _______.

A. black flowers are so weak that it is difficult for them to grow up.

B. there are only eight black flowers in nature

C. sunlight is formed by seven different colored lights, so the wave length of each light is different

D. black flowers can take in the light of all the wave length which makes them dry up because of high temperature

3. Which of the following ideas is WRONG?

A. People have found that only a few kinds of flowers are black.

B. Flowers are easy to be harmed by very high temperature.

C. Red, orange and yellow flowers can also take in the light of all wave lengths.

D. The black flowers can’t protect themselves from sunlight.
