    As a child, I was really afraid of the dark and of getting lost. These fears were very real and caused me
some uncomfortable moments.
    Maybe it was the strange way things looked and sounded in my own room at night that scared me so
much. There was never complete darkness, but always a streetlight or passing car lights, which made clothes
on the back of a chair take on the shape of a wild animal. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the curtains (窗
帘) seem to move when there was no wind. A very low sound in the floor would seem a hundred times louder
than in the day. My imagination (想象) would run wild, and my heart would beat fast. I would lie very still so
that the "enemy (敌人)" would not discover me.
    Another of my childhood fears was that I would get lost, especially on the way home from school. Every
morning I got on the school bus right near my home. That was no problem. After school, though, when all the
buses were lined up along the street, I was afraid that I would get in the wrong one and be taken to some other
strange places. On school or family trips to a park or a museum, I wouldn't let the leaders out of my sight.
    Perhaps one of the worst fears of all I had as a child was that of not being liked or accepted by others.
Being popular was so important to me then, and the fear of not being liked was a serious one.
    One of the processes (过程) growing up is being able to realize and overcome our fears. Understanding the
things that scared us as children helps us achieve greater success later in life.
1. The author had _____ kind (s) of fears when she was a child.
[     ]

B. two
C. three
D. none
2. _____ would scare the author at night.
[     ]
A. Streetlight and car lights
B. Strange sights and sounds
C. Walking up and down the room
D. Wild animals and enemies
3. When she went to some other places, she would _____.
[     ]
A. walk away without others
B. take a bus by herself
C. make sure not to take a wrong bus
D. follow others closely
4. Which of the following would be possibly true when she was a child?
[     ]
A. She always got poor grades (=marks).
B. She was always the leader of the others.
C. She was usually popular among people.
D. She was hated by others, for she always walked ahead of the others.
5. The underlined word "overcome" means "_____" in Chinese.

It’s an age-old saying: Men are from Mars; women are from Venus. Males and females __21_ different behaviors almost from birth.

Take a couple arguing over the location of their car in a parking lot. The man might use his sense of space to find it, while the woman relies on her __30__ of landmarks. Both of them find the car.

Everyone needs a break, and vacations are not meant for serious study. Instead, they’re a great way to take a break and enjoy a good book. The Spring Festival is coming up so this is the perfect time to discuss some great English language literature to take on a long train journey or while you’re hanging out with the family.

Before getting into the recommendations, we need to determine your English reading comprehension level so you don’t pick a book which is so challenging that it’s stressful or so simple that it’s boring.

If you’re at the beginner level, there are two options: reading a children’s book or reading a book that you’ve read in Chinese translation. This will help you get over any unfamiliar words or phrases, since you’re already familiar with the story. If you’re at the intermediate level, popular books like pop fiction, mysteries and thrillers are good options, as they’ll be guaranteed page turners and that will increase the possibility of your getting all the way through the book. For advanced readers, science fiction, classic works of literature or contemporary prize winners (Booker, Nobel, Pulitzer) are good options.

The most important thing is to pick a book that you’re really interested in. When I pick up a new book in Chinese, the first few chapters are always really hard to get through, as I have to get accustomed to the way the individual author uses the language. But after the first few chapters, things get a lot easier, especially if I get involved in the story. Some of my favorite Chinese-language eye candy are books that are series like Brothers by Yu Hua or The Dancer by Hai Yan. I like them because there’s always a lot of action and story development to keep me involved, which helps me make it through those first few chapters.

Another great way to keep yourself motivated over the holiday is to find a friend who’s interested in reading the same book. You can make goals that you both want to achieve and discuss plot lines or vocabulary issues with each other by SMS or e-mail. I’m currently doing that with my friend Laura. We’ve been doing this since we were classmates in Chinese at college.

Some quick recommendations: Harry Potter, start with the first book and go on from there; the Narnia series; anything by US writer Michael Crichton or British writer Agatha Christie; and if you like horror, US writer Stephen King is always unusual and fun. But really you should just find a topic or author that you’re interested in, and the rest will go from there. Happy reading!

For years we have been told that encouraging a child’s self-respect is important to his or her success in life. But child experts are now learning that too much praise can lead to the opposite effect. Praise-sholic kids  who expect it at every turn may become teens who seek to same kind of approval from friends when asked if they want to go in the backseat of the car.
The implication(含义) of saying “You are the prettiest girl in class,” or talking about the goals she succeed but not her overall effort, is that you love her only when she looks the best, scores she highest, achieves the most. And this carries over to the classroom.
Social psychologist Carrol Dweck, PhD, tested the effects of overpraise on 400 fifth graders while she was at Columbia University. She found that kids praised for “trying hard” did better on tests and were more likely to take on difficult assignments than those praised for being “smart”.
“Praising attributes(品质) or abilities makes a false promise that success will come to you because you have that quality, and it devalues effort, so children are afraid to take on challenges, ” says Dweck, now at Stanford University, “They figure they’s better quit while they’re ahead.”
【小题1】The underlined words “Praise-sholic kids” refers to kids who are ______.

A.tired of being praisedB.worthy of being praised
C.very proud of being praisedD.extremely fond of being praised
【小题2】The author quoted(引用) Dr. Dweck’s words in the last paragraph in order to make the article
_____. 
A.better-knownB.better-organizedC.more percussiveD.more interesting
【小题3】We can infer from the passage that _____.
A.praise for efforts should be more encouraged
B.praise for results works better than praise for efforts
C.praising a child’s achievements benefits his or her success in life
D.praising a child’s abilities encourage him or her to take on challenges

I am one of those people who are terrible at saying no. I take on too many projects at once, and spend too much of my time doing things I’d rather not be doing. I get stuff done, but it’s not always the best I can do, or the best way I could spend my time.
That’s why my newest goal, both as a professional and a person, is to be a quitter.
Being a quitter isn’t being someone who gives up, who doesn’t see important things through to the end. I desire to be the opposite of that. The quitter I want to be is someone who gets out when there’s no value in what he’s doing, or when that value comes at the expense of something more important.
We get involved in something, realize we don’t want to be a part of it, but keep on going. We say “Well, I’ve already invested so much time in this, I might as well stick it out.” A friend of mine once told me, “I knew I was an adult when I could stop reading a book, even after getting 500 pages into it.” Odd though it sounds, we all tend to do this.
I propose the opposite: quit as often as possible, regardless of project status or time invested. If you’re reading a book, and don’t like it, stop reading. Cut your losses, realize that the smartest thing to do is stop before your losses grow even more, and quit. Instead of reading an entire book you hate, read half of a bad one and half of a good one. Isn’t that a better use of your time?
Step back for a second. Let’s learn how to say “no” at the beginning, or in the middle, and free up more of our time to do the things we’d like to be doing, and the things actually worth doing.
Saying no is hard, and admitting a mistaken yes is even harder. But if we do both, we’ll start to make sure that we’re spending our time creating value, rather than increasing our losses. Let’s be quitters together.
【小题1】The author wants to be a quitter, because he/she        .

A.wishes to have more time for relaxation
B.hopes to improve his/her personality
C.expects to make more efficient use of his/her time
D.has found it hard to do several things at one time
【小题2】In what circumstances does the author suggest quitting is a good idea?
A.When you know a task cannot be finished.
B.When you feel tired and need a rest.
C.When you meet with difficulties along the way.
D.When you realize what you are doing is not worth the time.
【小题3】The message the author tries to convey is to        .
A.learn to say noB.create more value
C.live your life to the fullestD.stop doing many things at a time
