Developing self confidence is one of the most important things you can do to create a more powerful, successful life.It influences all aspects of our lives, from relationships to career. But the journey is long.That's why it's so important to have a long term goal, but to break it up into small manageable parts. 71 

Here are 5 quick tips to make this a confident week:

1.Sit up!

Set your alarm to go off 3 times throughout the day to check in with your posture (姿势). Body language is one of the quickest ways to gain instant confidence.

2.  72 

Have lunch with someone in your office that you don't normally hang out with.Breaking your routine (常规) allows you to jump out of your comfort zone which is a great means for self confidence breakthroughs.

3.Work it out.

73  Whether it be a fast walk for part of your lunch, or a quick work out during the tea break in the afternoon, it will surely do you good.Exercise fills the body with positive energy that you will be projecting throughout the day.Good health is not just an important part of living well —it also happens to be an instant confidence builder.

4.Involve yourself in a social activity that you normally wouldn't

74  Putting yourself out in the world forces you to face situations and meet people.In this way you can slowly build your confidence so you can find your place in it.This is one of the most rewarding things you can do.

5.Knowledge is power.

You have to keep feeding your mind. 75  So whether it's a new language, a new skill, or a new hobby - sign up for something this week that will broaden your knowledge, skill level and happiness.Learning something you can be proud of and providing you happiness is an immediate confidence builder and the recipe for success.

    A.Once you’ve learned something, no one can ever take it away.

    B.Small but achievable victories will have you well on your way.

    C.Make a point to get some exercise during the day.

    D.Have lunch in the office.

    E.Get to know someone new.

    F.Whether you like it or not, the world is a social being.

    G.Sitting at your office does not contribute to confidence building.

Winning the lottery (彩票) Is not the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow for many past winners.Sad stories do exist in large numbers for the past lottery winners and that's why some financial experts say "70 percent of lottery winners will squander away (乱花) winning within a few years." Some end up losing all within two years, family relationships destroyed or even worse.

Wayne Schenk was an old soldier diagnosed with lung cancer.When he won a million dollars in a lottery he thought his troubles were over and he would get the advanced medical treatment that might save his life.But Lottery officials refused to pay him the total sum in a single payment and they said they could not make an exception to the regulations.When Schenk died in 2007, he'd only received one payment of $34,000.

Another lottery winner, Billy Bob Harrell, Jr.killed himself two years after winning 31 million dollars in the Texas lottery in 1997.He'd spent large amounts of money and given large amounts away, but he didn't End me expected peace that should have come with the freedom of money.

Other lottery winners have ended up in prison for crimes.Many suffer bankruptcy (破产) after the big jackpot (头奖) is spent and given away, including some of the eight people who won the 365 million Powerball in 2006.

Every year some 15,000 animals - mostly mice - are

shipped into the UK for research.Some leading scientists are

warning that pressure from animal rights activists is reducing the

number of animals being brought into Britain for research.All

ferry companies and all but two airlines have stopped importing

animals intended for research laboratories.

Lord Drayson, who was a minister under the last Labour government, said animal research was "regrettably" necessary and that people would "suffer and die" without it."If we do want to have access to medicines, and I believe that we do - in a survey carried out in the past 10 years more than 87% of the general public have said that they support animal research for medical uses.And so unfortunately we do have to do this."

However, Alistair Currie from People, for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) said researchers should work harder to come up with alternatives to animal testing."More man 90% of drugs that pass trials in animals fail when they're given to people," he said.They either prove to be unsafe or simply ineffective."

The BBC's Tom Fielden says animal rights campaigners have been imprisoned for taking direct action against laboratories in the past and more recently have focused on creating bad PR (public relations).He says this has included letter-writhing and web-based campaigns against transport companies, which appear to have had an effect.

But the scientists who depend on the animals for their work have now decided to speak out to try to persuade the government and the transpon companies to stand up to the campaigners.Professor Robin Lovell-Badge, a geneticist at me National Institute for Medical Research (NIMR), told the BBC it was important that scientists were able to import animals, so they could work together with colleagues abroad. Dominic Wells of the Royal Veterinary College (RVC) said, "The problem is that they can't be put in a suitable transport."

63.Now animal rights campaigners are trying to affect importing animals by _______.

       A.finding alternatives to animal testing         B.creating bad public relations

       C.taking direct action against labs           D.stopping transport animals to UK

64.According to Lord Drayson, importing animals is ________.

       A.optional                                         B.necessary

       C.unreasonable                                   D.unconditional

65.Who is against importing animals for research?

       A.Alistair Currie form PETA.                B.Tom Fielden from the BBC.

       C.Robin Lovell-Badge from the NIMR.       D.Dominic Wells from the RVC.

66.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

       A.Activists stopping direct action against imports

       B.Importing animals contributing to medicine

       C.Activists' pressure slowing animal imports

       D.No animal imports, no medical research

Daily Telegraph - An enormous number of sardines (沙丁鱼) have been photographed as they swam in the formation of a dolphin (海豚).Steve De Neef photographed the fish near Cebu in the Philippines grouping together to protect themselves from larger animals.He said: "Getting the picture of the dolphin shape was just about being in the right spot at the right time, but it would be to their benefit if they could imitate (模仿) a larger animal."

Daily Mail - Black garlic - a sweet variety of the popular cooking ingredient that doesn't leave you with bad breath - is getting ready to hit the UK supermarket shelves.Black garlic tastes much sweeter than traditional garlic and enjoys twice the amount of anti-oxidants (抗氧化剂) and can last twice as long on the shelf.

BBC - Researchers in the United States have developed the first wirelessly controlled device (装置) that can supply a drug directly into the body.A small chip is implanted under the skin.It contains the medicine, which it releases at programmed times.The developers say the device could improve the lives of millions of people who take medicine for long-term illnesses and may one day free patients from having to remember to take their medicine, or give themselves injections.

VOA - Global warming could make humans shorter, warn scientists who claim to have found evidence that it caused the world's first horses to shrink nearly 50 million years ago.As temperatures went up their size went down, and vice versa (反之亦然); at one point they were as small as a house cat.The scientists say that the current warming could have the same effect on mammals, and even humans.

"Mama! Mama!" My 2-year-old son yells at his most excited, I-just-discovered-something -huge voice when we are eating a delicious hot curry with steamed rice at our dinner table.

"Look, a tree!" He yells again.I turn to find him holding up a piece of broccoli (西兰花) for us to see."Oh honey," I laugh and begin to protest, "That is bro..." But I stop.

As my son grows up, I find myself struggling not lo turn into the worst kind of teacher -the kind who overcorrects.

I have to learn to fight against my strong adult need to jump in and say, "No.that is not right." in the name of promoting knowledge.Unless I think his incorrect concept puts him in the way of harm, I have no desire to fix it.

Instead, I want to encourage my son's colorful sense of the world, in which stuffed (毛绒的) animals attend story times, flies are fascinating creatures, and red balloons share secrets.

       At our dinner table, I study the face of my child who is eagerly waiting for confirmation.He is smiling.His cheeks are a little flushed with excitement.

       Instead of taking the opportunity to teach him a new vegetable name.I say, "Wow, look!" pointing at his plate, "You have many trees in your rice!"

He laughs happily, his lovely face redder.

"So, how many trees can you eat?" I ask him, breaking in with another strong parenting desire I have: forming healthy eating habits.

He playfully puts one after another into his mouth, delighled by the possibility of pulling out the little trees that grow in his rice and eating them right off his plate.

Sometimes giving someone a helping hand is just simple.But sometimes it works like a 36 that opens a door to a whole new world of understanding.

Living in a small all-white  37  in the Midwest, my family and I were 38  that we were safe from the race riots (暴乱) in some larger cities.That  39  when I began working at a bank in a larger city nearby.My family  40  gave me advice on whom to avoid, what situation to stay away, and how to  41  myself.

On a snowy  42  after work, I guided my second-hand car out onto the street and knew  43 I didn't have to stop, it would keep running.The battery needed replacing.

However, as I expected the car choked and died at a red light.Fortunately, to my  44 ,I saw a pair of headlights coming up.But  45  three young black men jumped out of the car, I could hardly  46 - fear filled me.

The driver came to my windows and asked if I needed help.I  47 for a moment and then nodded.The fellows crowded around at once and  43__ working.As one of them connected the two engines by cables, my nerve (神经) jumped with so much electricity I think I could have charged the 49 and brought it back to life.But thankfully they 50 completed the project.

I pulled out a few  51 from the purse, "It's all I have but it's yours, I appreciate the help.Thank you."

The driver must have seen the 52  still in my eyes because he smiled, seeming to be 53 by my panic, and then waved his hand, "You  54  it.Just glad to help."

This experience taught me that I should never simply  55 anyone according to their skin color or race or wealth.
