Our success in business, sports, friendship, love―nearly everything we attempt―is largely determined by our own self-image. People who have confidence in their personal worth seem to be essential for success and happiness. Good things drop into their hands regularly, their relationship are long-lasting, their projects are usually carried to completion. To use the image an English writer created, they “catch job on the wing”.

Opposite to that, some people seem to hold attraction for failure and unhappiness. Their plans go in a wrong manner, they have a way of destroying their own potential success and nothing seems to work out for them. For such persons, their problems usually have as origin a difficulty with self-acceptance. When they gain more confidence through others’ help, often their troubles take care of themselves.

It is believed that anyone can change his self-estimation. A person with low self-image is not necessarily limited to a life of unhappiness and failure. It is possible to get rid of negative attitudes and gain the healthy confidence needed to realize one’s dream.

86. The word “image” used in line 4 means _____

A. life like drawing of something                 B. picture formed in one’s mind

C. reproduction of an object                       D. something imagined

87. According to the passage, high self-image helps one _____.

A. to become healthier and better looking

B. to enjoy one’s life like flying with wings

C. to maintain a negative attitude towards things around

D. to win success in one’s life and work.

88. It is implied in the passage that ______.

A. one’s self-image is something unchangeable

B. being attractive is very important in making friends with others.

C. not everyone can benefit from an improvement of his self-image

D. a person with high self-image has much confidence in his own future

89. What could be the best title for the passage?

A. Happiness or Failure

B. Success and Self-image

C. Difficulties in Improving Self-Acceptance

D. Attitude towards Life

One day，when I was leaving the teachers’ office，it was in complete silence and frightening 　50　．At my dormitory gate，I was startled （使惊奇）to find there still 　51 　a little light glimmering in the darkness，so faint but yet so clear．Just under the 　52　of the light，I went to the room without any difficulty．They were in sound sleep，leaving the 　53　light on in the calm world．Tears rolled down my cheeks．
