A popular saying goes, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” However, that’s not really true. Words have the power to build us up or tear us down. It doesn’t matter if the words come from someone else or ourselves-the positive and negative effects are just as lasting.
We all take to ourselves sometimes. We’re usually too embarrassed to admit it, though. In fact, we really shouldn’t be because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit.
This “self-talk” helps us motivate ourselves, remember things, solve problems, and calm ourselves down. Be aware, though that as much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negative. So in order to stay positive, we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves. We should also be quick to give ourselves a pat on the back. The next time you finish a project, do well in a test, or finally clean your room, join me in saying “Good job!”
Often, words come out of our mouths without us thinking about the effect they will have. But we should be aware that our words cause certain response in others. For example, when returning an item to a store, we might use warm, friendly language during the exchange. And the clerk will probably respond in a similar manner. Or harsh (刻薄的)and critical language will most likely cause the clerk to be defensive.
Words possess power because of their lasting effect. Many of us regret something we once said. And we remember unkind words said to us! Before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: Is it true? Is it loving? Is it needed? If what we want to say doesn’t pass this test, then it’s better left unsaid.
Words possess power: both positive and negative. Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively. We can offer hope, build self-esteem（自尊）and motivate others to do their best. Negative words destroy all those things. Will we use our words to hurt or to heal? The choice is ours.
1．The main idea of the first paragraph is that .
A．words have a lasting effect on us
B．inspiring words give us confidence
C．negative words may let us down
D．not sticks and stones but words will hurt us
2．There is no sense for us to feel embarrassed when we talk to ourselves because .
A．almost everybody has the habit of talking to themselves
B．talking to ourselves always gives us courage
C．we can benefit from talking to ourselves
D．it does no harm to have “self-talk” when we are alone
3．The underlined part in the third paragraph means that we should also timely .
A．remind ourselves B．praise ourselves
C．make ourselves relaxed D．give ourselves amusement
4．The author would probably hold the view that .
A．encouraging words are sure to lead to kind offers
B．negative words may motivate us to make more progress
C．people tend to remember friendly words
D．it is better to think twice before talking to others

查看习题详情和答案>>Recently, in the hope of getting both money and social experience, I became a door-to–door salesman. I once read a saying :“If somebody wants something of yours, you will be treated as warmly as spring ,but if they don’t, you may be treated as coldly as winter .”You may consider this an exaggeration(夸张),but if you are a salesman ,it is clearly correct .
You would never have found it to be so true if you hadn’t been a salesman. You needn’t stand doubtful looks and unfriendly comments; you needn’t listen to something completely wrong and nod to say that it was quite right; you needn’t talk to somebody you dislike…
I did this work for a month; then I decided to give it up. Apart from the above reasons, I found I was paying too much attention to the job and thus sacrificing my study time .The latest test result proved that my grades are getting lower. Even worse, I hadn’t enough time to join my classmates in college activities. Sometimes I felt lonely and unhappy because of both my study and my part–time job. Now I don’t think it is worth doing such a thing even though I was earning money at great cost.
Newspaper and magazines often publish stories about good students who do part-time work and keep high scores in class. But according to my experience, part–time work can have some strong bad effects on study.
Most students don’t see the relationship between study and work in a correct way. In my opinion, if it isn’t a must for financial reasons, students should be cautious about taking up a part-time job.
1．What caused the author to give up his part-time job?
A．Too much attention to his job and his grades getting lower
B．He often miss some colleges activities
C．Sometimes he felt tired and unhappy
D．All the above
2．Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined word “sacrificing”?
A．Losing B．Saving C．Using D．Getting
3．The writer thought _____
A．to do part–time was unnecessary
B．part-time job had good effects on study
C．it was hard to plan study and work correctly
D．part-time jobs were good for students
4．Who should take part-time jobs according to the text above?
A．Every college student B．Those who want to get study experience
C．Those in great need of money D．Those from very rich families
5．According to the writer, as a salesman you have to_____.
A．receive different customers’ attitudes
B．listen to anything even wrong
C．be happy all the time
D．stand doubtful looks and unfriendly comments
