What sounds or impressions are you making on the people around you? Think about it. Your words, phrases, even your message may soon be forgotten but believe me, good or 1 , your melody music.
An odd choice of phrase? Not really. The dictionary 2 melody? as a succession of sounds, and what is life other than the combining and blending of a succession of movements and sounds.
Just as a musical composition affects the moods and emotions of people who hear it, so too does the way you live your 3 .
Think of your life as a 4 sheet of manuscript paper. Only the rhythm is there ------it is 5 to you to create the harmony. Naturally you will want your composition to be a 6 , a chart buster' even a Symphony - something to be remembered with pleasure.
So where to 7 ? YOU MUST BEGIN WITH YOURSELF. Have the right 8 , enjoy life, - and most importantly, be optimistic about the future.
Be really 9 in other people. Make a conscience effort to bring peace and happiness into other people's lives.
10 situations that generate excessive ambition, envy, anger
and pride. They are all 11 of peace and will play ruin with your harmony.
12 has been said that if these emotions or feelings were forgotten, the world would live in permanent peace. Well, to banish（消除） them from the world is probably aiming a bit high but it shouldn't be too 13 to rid them from your own life.
Develop features such as smart, social, and sensitivity. These attributes are invaluable in enhancing not only your own life but the lives of those around you.
Everything you do has an 14 on those around you. The way you move, whether you 15 or frown. You are capable of making someone's day bright or miserable.
Take time to 16 other people. If there are too many discords & not enough harmony in their lives, 17 them to have a brighter outlook.
Throughout the world most people are striving for 18 .

解析:
本文说明的是快乐交际，幸福生活。完成本文要结合生活实际。
1. C无论好坏，前面是good，后面自然是Bad，坏，而不是wrong:错,harmful：有害。
2. A 字典对这个词的定义是动听的声音，define：定义，think:认为，regard：认为，act：扮演。
3. C live one’s life 是固定结构，意思是：过……的生活。
4. A 稿纸自然是空白的，也就是blank, used：旧的，full:满的，deserted:抛弃的，这些不合适。
5. D你生活的曲调就取决于你的行为。取决于，就是be up to sb.，准备好（ready）,决定（decide）,可能（possible），不合适宜
6. B 实际上你想让自己表现得很好。表现的好，就是成功的人士，故success，而不是失败（failure），模特（model）,和一团糟（mess）.
7. D 既然出现了问题，要解决问题，从哪开始（begin: 开始）呢？，do:行动，做，write：写， make：制作，明显不行。
8. A 后面无论是享受，还是乐观，都是对生活的态度：attitude，类型：type，情绪:mood，观点:opinion,都不合适。
9. C 有交往就得对别人感兴趣（interested），而不是热烈的：enthusiastic,太强烈了，mild: 温和的，太柔了，cautious：小心的，就更不合适了。
10. C 后面的骄傲，嫉妒等等都是负面情绪，当然得避免（avoid）了,而不是choose：选择，discover：发现，design：设计。
11. A 上述的那些不良情绪都是你和人相处的大敌（enemy），而不是朋友（friends），条件（condition），更不是帮助（help）。
12. B据说如果人类消除了这些情绪，世界就会永远和平。It be said that +主语从句：据说，别的无法构成这样的句型。
13. C避免这些情绪应该不会太难（difficult），而不是easy ：容易，willing：自愿，terrifying：令人害怕。
14. D你做的每件事都会在周围人有影响（have an effect on）,而不是effort：努力，mark：记号，damage：损害。
15. A是喜笑颜开（smile）还是怒气冲冲？都会影响到别人是开心还是难过，cry：哭喊，shout：大叫，talk：谈话，显得不行。
16. B 花些时间去倾听（listen to ），而不是攻击（attack），改变（change），采访（interview）。
17. A如果他们的生活中有太多的矛盾和别扭，鼓励（encourage）他们用乐观的态度去面对，根本不是打败（defeat），培训（train），停止（stop）。
18. B 全世界大多数人都在为和平（peace）而奋斗，而不是为了战争（war），争斗（fight），谈判（talk）。
19. C 无论是一家人围坐（seated）在饭桌前，还是国家级领导人围坐着会议桌前，他们的目的是一样的——追求和平，总不能被安排（arranged），被达到（reached），被装上（loaded）吧。
20. A所以，让我们每个人拿和平，和谐为基调来开创（create）我们的生活乐章吧！像发明（invent），寻找（seek），保护（protect）等等明显不行。

A. colonel is pronounced Everyone has good days and bad days.
Sometimes, you feel as if you’re on top of the world and all the questions on your maths test might seem easy. But occasionally you feel horrible, and you lose things and cannot focus on our schoolwork.
For more than 20 years, scientists have suggested that high self-esteem(自尊) is the key to success.Now, new research shows that focusing just on building self-esteem may not be helpful. In some cases, having high self-esteem can make people less likeable or more upset when they fail in something.
“Forget about self-esteem,” says Jennifer Crocker, a psychologist at the University of Michigan, US. “It’s not the important thing.”
Feeling good
Crocker’s advice may sound a bit strange. After all, feeling good can be good for you.Studies show that people with high self-esteem are less likely to be depressed, anxious, shy, or lonely than those with low self-esteem.
However, after reviewing about 18,000 studies on self-esteem, Roy Baumeister, a psychologist at Florida State University, has found that building up your self-esteem will not necessarily make you a better person.
He believes that violent people often have the highest self-esteem of all. He also said:“ There’s no evidence that kids with high self-esteem do better in school.”
Problems
All types of people have problems. People with high self-esteem can have big egos(自我) that can make them less likeable, said Kathleen Vohs, a psychology professor at Columbia University.People with high self-esteem tend to think more of themselves, VOhs says. People with low self-esteem are more likely to rely on their friends when they need help.
What to do
Researchers say it is best to listen to and support other people. Find positive ways to contribute to society. If you fail in something, try to learn from the experience. “The best therapy(药方) is to recognize your faults,” Vohs says. “It’s OK to say, ‘I’ m not so good at that,’ and then move on.”

I'm fat. I'm too skinny. I'd be happy if I were taller, shorter, had curly hair, straight hair, a smaller nose, bigger muscles, longer legs. Do any of these statements sound familiar? Do you often put yourself down? If so, you're not alone. As a teen, you're going through a ton of changes in your body. And as your body changes, so does your image (形象) of yourself. Lots of people have trouble getting used to it and this can affect their confidence.
Some people think they need to change how they look or act to feel good about themselves. But actually all you need to do is change the way you see your body and how you think about yourself.
The first thing to do is recognize that your body is your own, no matter what shape, size, or color it comes in. If you're very worried about your weight or size, go to your doctor to check that things are OK. But it's no one's business but your own what your body is like-finally, you have to be happy with yourself.Next, find which aspects of your appearance you can change and which you can't change and need to accept-like their height, for example, or their shoe size.
If there are things about yourself that you want to change and can do this by making goals for yourself. For example, if you want to get fit, make a pan to exercise every day and eat nutritious foods.
When you hear negative comments coming from within yourself, tell yourself to stop. Try building your confidence by listing three things in your day that really gave you pleasure. It can be anything like the way the sun felt on your face, the sound of your favorite band, or the way someone laughed at your jokes.

| C．force yourself to do something | D．write down your name somewhere |
| A．how to adjust to the changes of your body |
| B．how to build confidence by changing your body |
| C．how to keep an attractive body image |
| D．how to find pleasure in your day |
Does Fame Drive You Crazy?
Although being famous might sound like a dream come true, today’s star, feeling like zoo animals, face pressures that few of us can imagine. They are at the center of much of the world’s attention. Paparazzi (狗仔队) camp outside their homes, cameras ready. Tabloids (小报) publish thrilling stories about their personal lives. Just imagine not being able to do anything without being photographed or interrupted for a signature.
According to psychologist Christina Villareal, celebrities — famous people — worry constantly about their public appearance. Eventually, they start to lose track of who they really are, seeing themselves the way their fans imagine them, not as the people they were before everyone knew their names. “Over time,” Villareal says, “they feel separated and alone.”
The phenomenon of tracking celebrities has been around for ages. In the 4th century B.C., painters followed
Alexander the Great into battle, hoping to picture his victories for his admirers. When Charles Dickens visited America in the 19th century, his sold-out readings attracted thousands of fans, leading him to complain (抱怨) about his lack of privacy. Tabloids of the 1920s and 1930s ran articles about film-stars in much the same way that modern tabloids and websites do.
Being a public figure today, however, is a lot more difficult than it used to be. Superstars cannot move about without worrying about photographers with modern cameras. When they say something silly or do something ridiculous, there is always the Internet to spread the news in minutes and keep their “story” alive forever.
If fame is so troublesome, why aren’t all celebrities running away from it? The answer is there are still ways to deal with it. Some stars stay calm by surrounding themselves with trusted friends and family or by escaping to remote places away from big cities. They focus not on how famous they are but on what they love to do or whatever made them famous in the first place.
Sometimes a few celebrities can get a little justice. Still, even stars who enjoy full justice often complain about how hard their lives are. They are tired of being famous already.
【小题1】It can be learned from the passage that stars today___.
| A．are often misunderstood by the public |
| B．can no longer have their privacy protected |
| C．spend too much on their public appearance |
| D．care little about how they have come into fame |
| A．Great heroes of the past were generally admired. |
| B．The problem faced by celebrities has a long history. |
| C．Well-known actors are usually targets of tabloids. |
| D．Works of popular writers often have a lot of readers. |
| A．Availability of modern media. | B．Inadequate social recognition. |
| C．Lack of favorable chances. | D．Huge population of fans. |
