试题分析:自信的人往往是成功的人,那么如何来培养自信呢?作者在文中给出四点建议。首先,要勇于面对并努力克服自己的缺点。其次,要穿着得体以获得自信。再次,要首先完成不愿意做但是不得不做的事情。最后要积极乐观。
1.C考查上下文的推理判断能力。从下句It is a habit that everyone can develop in life.判断C选项符合语境,能起到承上启下的作用。句意:实际上自信既不是天生的也不是一夜间就能获得的,它是一种人人在生活中能养成的习惯。
2.B考查上下文的推理判断能力。本段用了几个祈使句来讲述要如何对待缺点,纵观选项只有B选项在句型结构和句意上符合语境,前句讲要勇敢面对缺点,然后要和可信赖的人,比如朋友,家人等谈论这些缺点。所以B选项正确。
3.A考查上下文的归纳概括能力。本段讲述穿戴打扮能够给人增添信心,而A选项内容恰好与后句therefore pay attention to your dress构成因果关系,所以A选项正确。
4.F考查上下文的推理判断能力。在本段作者建议打破被动处理事情的惯例,要马上集中精力去处理不愿意做但不得不做的事情,在所有选项中只有F项“不要把你不愿意做但不得不做的事情推到最后去做”能符合段意,所以正确选项是F。
5.E考查上下文的推理判断能力。根据段中出现的Be positive.和you should speak positively about yourself, and your bright future.可知E选项恰好承接上文,讲乐观的态度能让自己朝着积极的方向成长。
考点:考查信息匹配。

Health researchers have noticed that some groups of people are more consistently healthy than others, and wondered… Is it race? Income? Where you live? In the United States, these disagreements in health outcomes have been the focus of intense research for the past several decades.
Harvard University health policy researcher Ellen Meara says scholars have found some clues as to why some groups of people have more or less disease than others. She says one important factor in people’s health is the amount of education they have.
In her most recent paper, Meara looked at data from the United states census. These counts of people occur every 10 years. Meara and her colleagues examined data from several decades.
“We looked at life expectancy(预测寿命) at age 25,” Meara says.
“How many additional years can you expect to live if you arrive at age 25 and your education has stopped at high school, or sooner? Versus how many years, can you expect to live if you’ve reached aged 25 and you’ve gone on to at least some college…”
Meara says they found that in 1990, a 25-year-old who only had some secondary school could expect to live for a total of 75 years. In 2000, a 25-year-old with some secondary education could also expect to live to the age of 75.
In contrast, for a better educated 25-year-old, they could expect to live to the age of 80 in 1990. Someone with a similar education level in the year 2000, could expect to live to be more than 81 years, 81.6 years to be exact.
Meara says, not only do better-educated people live longer to begin with, but in the past ten years, more educated people have made gains in the length of their lives. Meanwhile, the life expectancy hasn’t changed for less educated people.
Some of these gains can be explained. Meara says researchers know that people who are more educated are more likely to quit smoking cigarettes, or not start at all, compared to people with less education.
“I think it’s a reminder not to be satisfactory,” Meara says. “Just because a population overall appears to be getting healthier, it doesn’t always mean that those advantages and successes that many people have enjoyed really extend into all parts of the population. And I think that’s something to really pay attention to regardless of whether you live in the US or elsewhere.”
Meara points out that education can often determine income---people with more education frequently make more money. This makes them aware of health care, and purchase other resources and services that can keep them healthier. But the data on income do NOT show that people who make more money are automatically healthier.
Meara says education is key. People need to be educated in order to take advantage of opportunities for better health.
