Frankly, I very much appreciate myself. Yes, I admit I’m in many respects not as good as other people, but I don’t think I’m always not good. When I find what I’ve done or written is okay, I’ll remain pleased with myself for quite a few days, and in case I receive praise for it, I’ll even become so excited as to add a few words to glorify myself.
True, I’m not modest at all. People may call me conceited (自負(fù)的). But I think otherwise.
I also appreciate other people. I appreciate anything good. Isn’t it unfair to forget appreciating myself while appreciating others?
We Chinese generally tend to be modest, and we take pride in being so. For example, a Chinese will call his own wife zhuojing, meaning “my humble wife”, and his own writings zhuozuo, meaning “my poor writings”. But if you should call his wife a “rustic (鄉(xiāng)巴佬的) woman” or his writings “trash”, he would, I’m sure, slap the table in a rage and declare he would make a clean break with you. As a matter of fact, there is probably no difference at all between what is said by him and you respectively.
I don’t think it’s wrong for you to freely praise yourself if you’re really worthy of praise. As we know, there is an old Chinese saying disparaging (蔑視的) a melon peddler(商販), named Lao Wang, who keeps praising his own goods. Well, why can’t he praise his melons if they are really sweet and juicy?
Friends, Lao Wang sells melons for a living. How could he carry on business if he, by imitating the affectations of us intellectuals, were to show false modesty about his melons? He would sure enough die of starvation.
Self-appreciation is therefore key to professional dedication (貢獻(xiàn)) and enjoyment of work. One will lose confidence in continuing with writing when he pauses to admire his own essays.
Needless to say, the same is true of those who make a living with their pen.
49. The best title for the passage would be __________.
A. On Self-Appreciation B. Types of Appreciation
C. Power of Appreciation D. Uses of Appreciation
50. The underlined word “zhuojing” in Paragraph 4 means _________.
A. wife high in position B. wife low in position
C. wise wife D. foolish wife
51. The writer points out with an example about an old Chinese saying that _________.
A. self-appreciation is also an active way of attitude to life and work
B. a false modesty will lose confidence in continuing with writing
C. one person pauses to admire his own essays without self-appreciation
D. one doesn’t praise his melons if his melons are really sweet and juicy
52. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. If I find what I’ve done or written is wrong, I’ll appreciate myself.
B. I never appreciate other people because I think others are foolish.
C. If you think poorly of your friend’s writings, perhaps he’ll be angry at you.
D. Lao Wang will die of starvation because he never praises his melons.
49.A。主旨大意題。由文章每段的主題句以及文章最后兩段可以判斷,本文談?wù)摰闹黝}就是Self-Appreciation.
50.B。詞語(yǔ)猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)zhuojing一詞下文的解析meaning “my humble wife”以及后面的But if you should call his wife a “rustic woman” …h(huán)e would make a clean break with you.判斷,zhuojing的意思就是wife low in position.
51.A。歸納推理題。中國(guó)古語(yǔ)“老王賣瓜自賣自夸”,其實(shí)就是“對(duì)待生活和工作的一種自我欣賞的態(tài)度”,最后三段就有概括。
52.C。判斷推理題。A項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤是因?yàn)榕c第一段第三句不符,B項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤是因?yàn)榕c第三段第一句不符,C項(xiàng)正確是與第四段中的But if you should call … or his writings “trash”, he would, I’m sure, slap the table in a rage and declare he would make a clean break with you.吻合,D項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤是因?yàn)榕c五、六段不吻合。

About six years ago I was eating lunch in a restaurant in New York City when a
woman and a young boy sat down at the next table, I couldn’t help overhearing parts of their conversation. At one point the woman asked, “So, how have you been?” And the boy — who could not have been more than seven or eight years old — replied. “Frankly, I’ve been feeling a little depressed lately.”
This incident stuck in my mind because it confirmed (確認(rèn)) my growing belief that children are changing. As far as I can remember, my friends and I didn’t find out we were “depressed”, that is, in low spirits, until we were in high school.
Undoubtedly a change in children has increased steadily in recent years. Children don’t seem childlike anymore. Children speak more like adults, dress more like adults and behave more like adults than they used to.
Whether this is good or bad is difficult to say, but it certainly is different. Childhood as it once was no longer exists. Why?
Human development is depended not only on born biological states, but also on patterns of gaining social knowledge. Movement from one social role to another usually involves learning the secrets of the new social positions. Children have always been taught adult secrets, but slowly and in stages; traditionally, we tell sixth graders things we keep hidden from fifth graders.
In the last 30 years, however, a secret-revelation (揭示) machine has been equipped in 98 percent of American homes. It is called television. Television passes information to all viewers alike, whether they are children or adults. Unable to resist the temptation (誘惑) , many children turn their attention from printed texts to the less challenging, more attractive moving pictures.
Communication through print, as a matter of fact, allows for a great deal of control over the social information which children will gain. Children must read simple books before they can read complex materials.
71. According to the author, feeling depressed is ________.
A. a sure sign of a mental problem in a child
B. a mental state present in all humans, including children[來源:學(xué).科.網(wǎng)]
C. something that cannot be avoided in children’s mental development
D. something hardly to be expected in a young child
72. Traditionally, a child is supposed to learn about the adult world _________.
A. through connection with society
B. gradually and under guidance
C. naturally without being taught
D. through watching television
73. According to the author, that today’s children seem adultlike results from ________.
A. the widespread influence of television
B. the poor arrangement of teaching content
C. the fast pace of human scientific development
D. the rising standard of living
74. What does the author think of communication through print for children?
A. It enables children to gain more social information.
B. It develops children’s interest in reading and writing.
C. It helps children to read and write well.
D. It can control what children are to learn.
75. What does the author think of the change in today’s children?
A. He feels their adultlike behavior is so funny.
B. He thinks people should pay attention to the change.
C. He considers it a rapid development.
D. He seems to be upset about it.

The evidence of a change in children has increased steadily in recent years. Children don’t seem childlike anymore. Children speak more like adults, dress more like adults and behave more like adults than they used to.
Whether this is good or bad is difficult to say, but it certainly is different. Childhood as it once was no longer exists. Why?
Human development is based not only on natural biological states, but also on patterns of access to social knowledge. Movement from one social role to another usually involves learning the secrets of the new situation. Children have always been taught adult secrets, but slowly and in stages: traditionally, we tell sixth graders things we keep hidden from fifth graders.
In the last 30 years, however, a secret-revelation(揭示)machine has been installed in 98 percent of American homes. It is called television. Television passes information, and indiscriminately(不加區(qū)分地), to all viewers alike, whether they are children or adults.
