【题目】It’s OK to have ups and downs in your feeling, but having low self-esteem isn’t OK. Feeling like you’re not important can make you sad and can keep you from trying new things.1 Having strong self-esteem is also a very big part of growing up; as you get older and face tough decisions-especially under peer pressure—the more self-esteem you have, the better.

If you think you might have low self-esteem, try talking to an adult you trust about it.2 In addition, here are a few things that you can try to promote your self-esteem:

Remember that your body is your own, no matter what shapes, size, or color it is. If you are worried about your weight or size, you can check with your doctor to make sure that things are OK.3 You should accept and love these things because they are part of you. Remind yourself of things about your body that are cool, like, “My legs are strong and I can skate really well.”4 The critical voice inside you will soon lose its power.

Praise yourself every day. Don’t just say, “I’m so great.” Be specific about something good about yourself, like, “I was a good friend to Jill today” or “I did better on that test than I thought I would.”5 Even if you’ve got room for improvement, realizing that you’re valuable and important helps your self-esteem shine.

A. Remember that there are things about yourself you can’t change.

B. It can keep you from making friends or hurt how to do at school.

C. It is important to know you’re worth a lot.

D. By focusing on the good things and your great qualities, you learn to love and accept yourself.

E. When you hear negative comments in your head, mentally tell yourself to stop.

F. Before you go to bed every night list three things in your day that really made you happy.

G. He or she may be able to help you come up with some good ideas for finding your self-esteem.

【题目】阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
Dear friends,
The recent success of children's books has made the general public aware that there's a huge market out there.
And there's a growing need for new writers trained to create the $3 billion worth of children's books bought each year… plus stories and articles needed by over 650 publishers of magazines for children and teenagers. Who are these needed writers? They're ordinary people like you and me.
But am I good enough?
I was once where you might be now. My thoughts of writing had been pushed down by self-doubt, and I didn't know where to turn for help.
Then, I accepted a free offer from the Institute to test my writing ability, and it turned out to be the inspiration I needed.
The promise that paid off
The Institute made the same promise to me that they will make to you, if you show basic writing ability: you will complete at least one manuscript (手稿) suitable to hand in to a publisher by the time you finish our course.
I really didn't expect any publication(出版) before I finished the course, but that happened. I sold three stories. And I soon discovered that was not unusual at the Institute. Since graduation, I have written 34 nationally published children's books and over 300 stories and articles.
Free test and brochure
We offer a free ability test and will send you a copy of our brochure describing our recognized home-study courses on the basis of one-on-one training.
Realize your writing dream today. There's nothing sadder than a dream delayed until it disappears forever.
Sincerely,
Kristi Hill
Institute of Children's Literature

【题目】Xiaomi’s sales strategy is largely responsible for the decline, having grown indistinguishable from that of many other Chinese manufacturers, according to Hong Kong-based cell-phone market journalist Yasuhiro Yamane. When the company first arrived on the scene in 2011 and 2012, its products were sold online by reservation only, building an air of exclusivity(排外)and lending the brand a high image. This strengthened the appeal of the smart phones, which resembled Apple’s iPhones.

But starting in 2013, Xiaomi began concentrating on high-volume sales, allowing many more resellers to carry its phones—a critical turning point in the company’s fortunes. While sales increased, Xiaomi’s products became viewed less as premium items and more as widely available, mass-market phones, according to Yamane.

To keep consumers from losing interest, Xiaomi introduced a lower-end brand, Redmi, in July 2013. Phones in that family sell for 1000 yuan($150) or less, around half the price of products from the flagship Mi series.

When China’s economy began to skid at the end of 2014, the company leaned harder on the Redmi brand to hold on to market share in the following year—a grave mistake. Though it had some effect, the strategy ultimately “drove home the image of Xiaomi as a low-cost phone maker,” Yamane said.

This should serve as a warning to other makers in China, where companies tend to emerge and quickly disappear due to their focus on short-term gains over long-term planning. “There is still a chance that Xiaomi could right itself and regain its old appeal,” Yamane said.

1What made people consider Xiaomi a high image in 2011?

A. The fact that it is expensive

B. The fact that it is different from other Chinese manufacturers

C. The fact that it is like Apple’s iPhones

D. The fact that people could only buy its phones from the Internet

2According to the passage, what was Xiaomi’s plan mainly about in 2013?

A. Making Xiaomi more available B. Fixing on Xiaomi fortune

C. Increasing its sales D. Setting its turning point

3How did Xioami hold on to market share when the economy declined?

A. . By focusing on long-term planning B. By righting itself

C. By introducing new brands D. By depending on lower-end brands.

4Which of the following statement is likely to be Yamane’s opinion?

A. Allowing many resellers to sell its phones is the turning point of Xiaomi

B. The strategy Xiaomi made had no effect at all

C. The companies in China should concentrate on short-term gains.

D. Redmi is popular among all the consumers
