　　I’m fat．I’m too skinny．I’d be happy if I were taller, shorter, had curly hair, straight hair, a smaller nose, bigger muscles, longer legs．Do any of these statements sound familiar? Do you often put yourself down? If so, you’re not alone．As a teen, you’re going through a ton of changes in your body．And as your body changes, so does your image(形象)of yourself．Lots of people have trouble getting used to it and this can affect their confidence．

　　Some people think they need to change how they look or act to feel good about themselves．But actually all you need to do is change the way you see your body and how you think about yourself．

　　The first thing to do is recognize that your body is your own, no matter what shape, size, or color it comes in．If you’re very worried about your weight or size, go to your doctor to check that things are OK．But it’s no one’s business but your own what your body is like－finally, you have to be happy with yourself．

　　Next, find which aspects(方面)of your appearance you can change and which you can’t change and need to accept－like your height, for example, or your shoe size．

　　If there are things about yourself that you want to change you can do this by making goals for yourself．For example, if you want to get fit, make a plan to exercise every day and eat nutritious foods．

　　When you hear negative comments coming from within yourself, tell yourself to stop．Try building your confidence by listing three things in your day that really gave you pleasure．It can be anything like the way the sun felt on your face, the sound of your favorite band, or the way someone laughed at your jokes．

A Giant Leap for China

　　A few days ago, he was just Colonel(上校)Yang; few people knew his name or recognized his face．But last Thursday, when he came back to the earth after a 21-hour trip to space, Yang Liwei’s smile was seen across the world above the magic words：“China’s first spaceman”．

　　The 38-year-old astronaut was sent into space at 9 a. m．Last Wednesday by China’s Shenzhou Ⅴ spacecraft, which orbited the earth 14 times．He landed safely at 6∶23 a. m．The next day, making China the third country successfully send a person into space, after the former Soviet Union and the US．

　　Yang was satisfied with his job．“I have seen many landing scenes before on video, and I think ours was one of the most successful, ”He said on a special plane to Beijing after landing．Born into an ordinary family in Liaoning Province, he became a pilot in the Chinese Air Force in 1987, spending 1350 hours in the air．He joined the Chinese space programme 11 years later．

　　While in space, Yang recorded everything he saw as well as showing China’s national flag and the United Nations’ flag to the people watching on TV at home．He also ate a meal of diced chicken and fried rice, before taking a 3-hour nap．The whole project went according to plan, but space exploration is not as easy as it seems．

　　Anyone who saw the destruction of the US space shuttle Columbia in February this year will know that Yang took a great risk．

　　He experienced extremely high temperatures, while the gravitation(重力)on take-off and landing were strong enough to force tears from his eyes．

　　He has spent five years training to become a spaceman．

　　“I eat all of my meals at the space programme’s dinning room and have never been able to take my son to kindergarten, ”he said．“I’ve never met his teachers．”

　　But becoming China’s first spaceman has made all the effort worthwhile．

　　“When I boarded the spacecraft for the first time, I couldn’t help feeling excited,” he said．“I decided that I had to fly it．”

　　To Chinese people, Yang is now a hero．One visitor to a Xinhua news agency online forum(網(wǎng)上論壇)said, “Yang’s trip is a giant leap forward for China．”

　　Officials say the next Shenzhou will be launched by 2005．China also plans to develop spacewalking and a space lab．

　　The repairman told me, “No charge, Professor Pan! We’re friends．”

　　“I’d rather pay, ” I replied．“If it’s free, I can’t afford it!”

　　Chinese often refuse payment for professional services, insisting, “We’re friends now!” But then they show up later to ask me to tutor them in English, or get them into an American university, and I wish I’d have just paid the 30 yuan I owed them in the first place!

　　According to the Americans, “There is no free lunch．”, means that there’s a price for everything．And I’m always looking around to figure out what this means．

　　Many of our neighbours have given us fruit or flowers or costly teas, never asking anything in return．For years, a bicycle repairman has repeatedly refused to let me pay him．“Wait until you have something major to fix!” he insists．

　　I mentioned to a peasant friend that I wished I had a stone mill to grind(磨)flour for bread．A month later he showed up with a beautiful mill that he’d had his uncle in the countryside carve from a solid block of granite(花崗石)．

　　Chinese generosity(慷慨)is a real education for Americans　like me, who would rather avoid social entanglements(糾紛)and just hand over the money．But cash can’t compensate(補償)for the greatest gift－friendship．

　　When an American saw some of my friends sitting on bamboo stools under the trees, sipping(呷)tea, he said, “They must have nothing better to do．” “Actually,” I said, “they are professors, with plenty to do．But probably you are right in saying that, at this moment, they have nothing better to do．And neither do I!”?

　　And I joined the group．When chatted about tea and Chinese cooking and how much my boys have grown since we arrived．One man said, “They were pocket-sized when you came here．Now they’re taller than you．How time flies!”

　　How life flies．And Chinese are smart enough to share what they know they cannot keep．They freely give off their time, never too busy to help a friend．And they are teaching me, slowly, to both give and receive．So the next time someone says, “No charge．We’re friends!” I will thank them heartily．But if they show up later asking me to tutor them in English, I’ll make sure they tutor my son in Chinese as well, because there’s still no free lunch．

(1)

Why did the author insist paying the repairman while he was offered free repairs?

[　　]

A．

Because he was an upright man．

B．

Because he didn’t know the repair man．

C．

Because he thought it natural to pay for other’s service．

D．

Because he didn’t want to help others in return．

(2)

Generally, the author thinks that ________．

[　　]

A．

Chinese are generous and always ready to help their friends

B．

Chinese are good at exchange of equal values

C．

Chinese are free enough to drink and chat with their friends

D．

Chinese are helpful but don’t treasure time

(3)

The best title for the passage should be “________”．

[　　]

A．

Still No Free Lunch

B．

A Good Lesson From Chinese

C．

True Help Or Not

D．

Learn To Both Give And Receive

(4)

Which of the following is TRUE?

[　　]

A．

All the Chinese that once gave the author help have asked him to tutor them in English．

B．

When a peasant knew the author needed a mill, he made one for the author himself．

C．

The author thinks that Chinese are wise enough to enjoy the limited life．

D．

The author is not used to the Chinese ways to make friends．

　　“I’m delighted and amazed at how much media recognition that the Pulitzer brings, as compared to even the National Book Critics Award, which I was also surprised and delighted to win,” said Armantrout．

　　“For a long time, my writing has been just below the media radar, and to have this kind of attention, suddenly, with my 10th book, is really surprising．”

　　Armantrout, a native Californian, received her bachelor’s degree at UC Berkeley, where she studied with noted poet Denise Levertov, and her master’s in creative writing from San Francisco State University．She is a founding member of Language Poets, a group in American poetry that analyzes the way language is used and raises questions to make the reader think．

　　In March, she won the National Book Critics Circle Award for “Versed．”

　　“This book has gotten more attention,” Armantrout said, “but I don’t feel as if it’s better．”

　　The first half of “Versed” focuses on the dark forces taking hold of the United States as it fought the war against Iraq．The second half looks at the dark forces casting a shadow over her own life after Armantrout was diagnosed with cancer in 2006．

　　Armantrout was shocked to learn she had won the Pulitzer but many of her colleagues were not．“Rae Armantrout is a unique voice in American poetry, ” said Seth Lerer, head of Arts and Humanities at UCSD．
