In all one’s lifetime it is oneself that one spends the most time being with or dealing with. But it is exactly oneself that one has the least understanding of.
When you are going upwards in life you tend to overestimate yourself. It seems that everything you seek for is within your reach. When you are going downhill you tend to underestimate yourself, mistaking difficulties for your own incompetence.
To get a thorough understanding of oneself is to gain a correct view of oneself-aware of both one’s strengths and shortages. You may look forward hopefully to the future but be sure not to expect too much, for ideals can never be fully realized. You may be courageous to meet challenges but it should be clear to you where to direct your efforts. That’s to say so long as you have a perfect knowledge of yourself there won’t be difficulties you can’t overcome.
To get a thorough understanding of oneself needs self-appreciation. Whether you think you are a towering tree or a blade of grass, a high mountain or a small stone, you represent a state of nature that has its own value. If you earnestly admire yourself you’ll have a real sense of self-appreciation, which will give you confidence. As soon as you gain full confidence in yourself, you’ll be enabled to fight and overcome any adversity.
To get a thorough understanding of oneself also requires doing oneself a favor when it’s needed. In time of sadness, do yourself a favor by sharing it with your friends so as to change a gloomy mood into a cheerful one; in time of tiredness, do yourself a favor by getting a good sleep. As you are aware, what a person physically has is but a human body that’s vulnerable when exposed to the elements. So if you fall ill, it’s up to you to take a good care of yourself.
In a word, to get a thorough understanding of oneself is to get a full control of one’s life. Then one will find one’s life full of color and flavor.
小題1: What is described in Paragraph 2 is to show that           .
A．a(chǎn) person is easy to estimate himself too high when succeeding
B．it is difficult for one to have a perfect knowledge of oneself
C．you should keep up high spirits whatever difficulties you meet
D．it is essential that a person get a thorough understanding of himself
小題2: Remember not to expect too much of yourself when looking forward to the future because         .
A．your shortages might stop you succeeding
B．ideals can never be turned into realities
C．you are likely to lack enough courage
D．you haven’t understood yourself quite well
小題3:Having a real sense of self-appreciation can enable one         .
A．to realize one’s shortagesB．not to be too proud
C．to gain enough self-confidenceD．not to go downhill
小題4:If this passage is divided into three parts, the second part should consist of        .

閱讀下面短文，然后從下列各題所給的A、 B、C、D四個選項中，選出最佳選項。
We often talk about ourselves as if we have permanent genetic defects (缺陷) that can never be changed. “I’m impatient.” “I’m always behind.” “I always put things   36 !” You’ve surely heard them. Maybe you’ve used them to describe   37 .
These comments may come from stories about us that have been   38  for years—often from   39  childhood. These stories may have no   40  in fact. But they can set low expectations for us. As a child, my mother said to me, “Marshall, you have no mechanical (操作機(jī)械的) skills, and you will never have any mechanical skills for the rest of your life.” How did these expectations   41  my development? I was never   42  to work on cars or be around   43 . When I was 18, I took the US Army’s Mechanical Aptitude Test. My scores were in the bottom for the entire nation!
Six years later,   44 , I was at California University, working on my doctor’s degree. One of my professors, Dr. Bob Tannbaum, asked me to write down things I did well and things I couldn’t do. On the positive side, I   45   down, “research, writing, analysis, and speaking.” On the   46  side, I wrote, “I have no mechanical skills.”
Bob asked me how I knew I had no mechanical skills. I explained my life   47  and told him about my   48  performance on the Army test. Bob then asked, “  49  is it that you can solve   50  mathematical problems, but you can’t solve simple mechanical problems?”
Suddenly I realized that I didn’t   51  from some sort of genetic defect. I was just living out expectations that I had chosen to   52 . At that point, it wasn’t just my family and friends who had been   53  my belief that I was mechanically hopeless. And it wasn’t just the Army test, either. I was the one who kept telling myself, “You can’t do this!” I realized that as long as I kept saying that, it was going to remain true.   54  , if we don’t treat ourselves as if we have incurable genetic defects, we can do well in almost   55  we choose.

When I was in middle school, I was one of the smaller players on the basketball team. In our first game of the season, we were   31  to face a good team, all of whom were tall guys. Naturally, at my   32 , it would have been easy to be   33  by our competitors.
On game day, my basketball coach called me over to him. He was a strong and tough coach, and in his   34  rough manner said, “Joel, you’re not that   35 , but let me tell you that size doesn’t matter. Don’t be afraid. What   36  is right down in here.” He pointed his finger at his  37  as he continued, “Joel, you’ve got a big heart, and you’re to   38  it this year.”
When I heard the coach’s   39  , I stood taller than usual! I thought to myself: The coach believes in me! My confidence   40  and I played better that year than I’d ever done before.
It’s   41  what we can achieve when we know somebody really believes in us. That coach took a little time to make a big   42   . He took time to make me confident in myself. If we’re going to   43  the best in people, we need to sow seeds of   44  .
As the saying goes, “Love looks for a way of being constructive.”   45  , love looks for ways to help improve somebody else’s life.
When people are   46  us, they should leave better off than they were before. People should feel   47  and inspired after spending any time with you and me  48  feeling discouraged or defeated.
Remember, there’s   49  greater investment（投資）in life than in being a people builder. Relationships   50  much more to us than our achievements.

Another __35__ thing is: The American friends often said to me “__36__” as they __37__ fruits or other things. According to Chinese tradition I would simply smile in answer to their kindness __38__ actually helping myself to any of the food. __39__, I said “help yourself” to them whenever I brought home fruits.

The next day I sat down，with almost a hundred other candidates，for the intelligence test．I must have done all right because after about half an hour’s wait I was sent into another room for a psychological test．This time there were only about fifty candidates．The interviewer sat at a desk．Candidates were signaled forward to occupy the seat opposite him when the previous occupant had been dismissed，after a greater or shorter time．Obviously the long interviews were the more successful ones．Some of the interviews were as short as five minutes．Mine was the only one that lasted a minute and a half．
I can remember the questions now：“Why did you leave your last job?”“Why did you leave your job before that?”“And the one before that?”I can’t recall my answers，except that they were short at first and grew progressively shorter．His closing statement，I thought，evealed(揭示)a lack of sensitivity which helped to explain why as a psychologist，he had risen no higher than the underground railway．“You’ve failed the psychological test and we are unable to offer you a position．”
Failing to get that job was my low point．Or so I thought，believing that the work was easy．Actually，such jobs—being a postman is another one I still desire—demand exactly the sort of elementary yet responsible awareness that the habitual dreamer is least qualified to give．But I was still far short of full self-understanding．I was also short of cash．
小題1:The writer applied for the job chiefly because        .
A．he wanted to work in the centre of London
B．he could no longer afford to live without one
C．he was not interested in any other available job
D．he had received some suitable training
小題2:The writer thought he was overqualified for the job because        .
A．he often traveled underground
B．he had written many poems
C．he could deal with difficult situations
D．he had worked in a company
小題3:The length of his interview meant that        .
A．he was not going to be offered the job
B．he had not done well in the intelligence test
C．he did not like the interviewer at all
D．he had little work experience to talk about
小題4:What does the writer realize now that he did not realize then?
A．How unpleasant ordinary jobs can be
B．How difficult it is to be a poet
C．How unsuitable he was for the job
D．How badly he did in the interview
小題5:What’s the writer’s opinion of the psychologist?
A．He was very aggressive
B．He was unhappy with his job
C．He was quite inefficient
D．He was rather unsympathetic

Have you ever had the strange feeling that you were being watched? You turned around and, sure enough, someone was looking right at you!
Parapsychologists (靈學(xué)家) say that humans have a natural ability to sense when someone is looking at them. To research whether such a “sixth sense” really exists, Robert Baker, a psychologist at the University of Kentucky, performed two experiments.
In the first one, Baker sat behind unknowing people in public places and stared at the backs of their heads for 5 to 15 minutes. The subjects were eating, drinking, reading, studying, watching TV, or working at a computer. Baker made sure that the people could not tell that he was sitting behind them during those periods. Later, when he questioned the subjects, almost all of them said they had no sense that someone was staring at them.
For the second experiment, Baker told the subjects that they would be stared at from time to time from behind a two way mirror in a laboratory setting. The people had to write down when they felt they were being stared at and when they weren’t. Baker found that the subjects were no better at telling when they were stared at and when they weren’t. and they were no better at telling when they were stared at than if they had just guessed.
Baker concludes that people do not have the ability to sense when they’re being stared at. If people doubt the outcome of his two experiments, said baker, “I suggest they repeat the experiments and see for themselves.”
小題1:The purpose of the two experiments is to                                 .
A．explain when people can have a sixth sense
B．show how people act while being watched in the lab
C．study whether humans can sense when they are stared at
D．prove why humans have a sixth sense
小題2:In the first experiment, the subjects                             .
A．were not told that they would be stared at
B．lost their sense when they were stared at
C．were not sure when the would be stared at
D．were uncomfortable when they were stared at
小題3:What can be learned from the passage?
A．People are born with a sixth sense.
B．The experiments support parapsychologists’ idea.
C．The subjects do not have a sixth sense in the experiments.
D．People have a sixth sense in public places.
