SECTION BDirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.I remember my dad teaching me the power of language at a very young age. Not only did he understand that specific 36 can affect our mental pictures, but he understood that words are a 37 programming factor in lifelong success.One particularly unforgettable event occurred when I was eight. As a child, I was always climbing trees, poles and 38 around upside down from the rafters(屋椽) of our lake house. 39 , it came to no surprise for my dad to find me at the top of a 30-foot tree, swinging back and forth. My little eight-year-old 40 didn’t realize that the tree could break or I could get hurt. I just thought it was enjoyable to be up so high. My older cousin, Tammy, was also hanging in the same tree. Her mother also 41 us at exactly the same time as my dad did. About that time, a huge gust(一阵) of wind blew through the tree. I could hear the leaves rustle(嘎嘎地响) and feel the tree begin to sway. I remember my dad’s 42 over the wind, “Bart, Hold on tightly!”So I did.The next thing I heard was Tammy’s mother yelling, “Tammy, don’t fall!” Tammy did 43 . My dad later explained to me that the mind has a very 44 time processing a negative image. It takes seventeen positive statements to offset(抵消) one negative statement. That means it might 45 seventeen compliments(贺词/道贺) to offset the emotional 46 of one criticism.These are concepts that are especially useful in developing yourself. How many compliments do you give yourself daily and how often do you criticize yourself? Try to 47 yourself a lifetime of positive programming by complimenting yourself, or at least think about the kind of programming you are doing to yourself on a daily basis. Remember: try to make positive self-talk a daily practice and you will succeed some day.36. A. reactions B. behaviors C. words D. expressions37. A. doubtful B. sensible C. strange D. powerful38. A. sitting B. hanging C. standing D. lying39. A. However B. Furthermore C. Moreover D. Therefore40. A. brain B. memory C. experience D. knowledge41. A. believed B. noticed C. protected D. persuaded42. A. voice B. figure C. image D. anger43. A. hold B. think C. fall D. regret44. A. surprising B. relaxing C. difficult D. short45. A. offer B. take C. give D. Keep 46. A. damage B. danger C. award D. relief47. A. stop B. consult C. imagine D. give
When I was younger it seemed that the super hero was Batman or Spiderman. As I grew up, I looked to real people with some of these qualities to be my super hero including being strong, honest, friendly, brave, skilled, hardworking, and reliable. The person I think of when I hear these words is my dad.
My dad is one of the toughest people I have ever met. He has been through it all. When I was five, 60 percent of his body was burned. In 1999 he fell from a tree, breaking his arm and shattering his ankle. In 2004, he had a liver transplant (移植) after being on the list for six years after a bad blood transfusion that gave him Hepatitis C. Now, my dad is 45 years old and feels better than he has in 15 years.
My dad is one of the most reliable people I know. Anything I ask of him, he does. Whenever he tells me he is going to do something, it is always done before I get home from work. Whenever I need my dad, he is there. When I was ten and he told me my grandmother was going to die, I felt really down. He was the one there trying to cheer me up.
My dad has worked hard for everything he has. At home, he is always busy doing projects and has painted every room in our house. After our shop was built, he constructed an office you would think a professional built. When I do something stupid, he helps me fix it. Of course, he does his complaining, but I know he likes fixing things just as much as I like tearing them up.
My dad has been one of the greatest parts of my life. I have learned a lot from watching him and I don’t believe I will ever meet anyone like him. I hope when I grow up, I can possess the same qualities as my dad, and have someone look up to me as a good role model. This is why my dad is my hero.
