7．People who show confidence really seem to have it made．They seize more rewarding careers，keep good relationships，and just seem to do everything with more styles than the rest of us．
So what is the secret？There isn't one．Self-confidence is a skill and habit that anyone can learn to develop．And although people who are raised in an encouraging environment with confident role models have a hard start in self-confidence development，we all can learn to become more confident at any age．
Try these simple tips for practising and increasing your self-confidence levels：
Dare to fail．Anybody who's out there bravely performing is going to fail repeatedly．If you are not failing，you are not trying．So don't take failure too hard or too personally．Just learn to deal with it and use its lessons to keep improving．
When in doubt，pretend you know what you are doing．Because，if you are confident of your abilities，by the time you have done it，you will be experienced．
Dress for success．You don't have to be beautiful to be confident．Make the most of your own unique physical characters and weaken your disadvantages．
Listen to yourself．You are the only person who knows what's right for you．Don't put others'opinions above your own inner voice．
Build a confident vocabulary．Stop putting yourself down and give up continually blaming your tiny weaknesses．Learn to show up your strong points and the world will learn to see and celebrate them with you．
Pass on the praise．Praise others for their virtues and strengths．This practice will not decrease your confidence，but help increase it．

39．The passage is written mainlyD．
A．to explain the definition of self-confidence
B．to explain the secret of self-confidence
C．to tell people how important self-confidence is

C．your unique characters will help you be confident and be successful
D．to be confident means to be beautiful

A．not to be afraid of failure             B．dress yourself properly
C．pretend to know everything              D．make your advantages more obvious

18．Swimming is one of those activities that can be learned early in life．Little children can learn to swim as soon as they walk．In fact，you need the same skills in walking as in swimming．However，I believe that five is the best age to learn．By five or six，a child knows fear of water，a very important thing to know．It's wise to be afraid，to recognize true danger．Young ones understand that the water can sometimes be very dangerous．
To really benefit from swimming，every swimmer should learn，as soon as possible，these four basic strokes：butterfly，backstroke，breaststroke，and crawl．I feel that one of these---the breaststroke is different from the others，since some young swimmers use this stroke naturally，without any training．
In swimming there are certain rules every swimmer should follow：
1．Never swim alone!No matter how good you are in the water，don't risk drowning by swimming alone．If you swim by yourself，with no life guards or friends with you，you may get into trouble．
2．Don't go beyond your abilities．Most swimmers know enough not to swim too far from the bank or the beach．Showing off by doing dangerous tricks is no good．Swim safely and you will continue to swim and alive．
3．Don't smoke．Swimming depends on a healthy body； good lungs are part of it．
4．Work at any activity that builds muscles．
59．Little children can learn to swim as soon asB．
A．they can talk                   
B．they start walking

12．Eat like a king in the morning，a prince at noon，and a peasant at night．This saying is all about the importance of breakfast．And now scientists can tell us just why it's so important．According to a study carried out at Imperial College London，UK，skipping the first meal of the day not only means you eat more at lunch，but also that your brain wants to find more unhealthy foods．
The study suggests that there is a special part of our brain called the orbitofrontal cortex （眶額皮層），which plays an important part in making choices about what we eat．It is used for identifying the taste of food，especially when skipping breakfast．It is more likely to target high-calorie foods when you're on an empty stomach．
Scientists did an experiment on this．Dr Tony Goldstone from Imperial College London，scanned （掃描） the brains of 21 men and women，around the age of 25．On the first day，these people skipped breakfast before the scans．On the second day，they had cereal （谷物），bread and jam as breakfast．After the scan on both days，they had their lunch．
When the volunteers had skipped breakfast，they ate around 20 percent more at lunch，compared with days when they had eaten breakfast．?Their brain scans also showed the orbitofrontal cortex was especially responsive to high-calorie foods．"We believe that bit identifies the value of foods-how pleasant，how delicious something is，"Goldstone told The Guardian．
36．From Paragraph 1，we learn thatA．
A．scientists found out why eating breakfast is important
B．it's easy to lose weight without breakfast
C．there's no need to have good food for supper
D．eating breakfast makes your brain smarter
37．Which of the following is NOT true about the orbitofrontal cortex？B
A．It is part of our brain．B．It tells people to eat breakfast．
C．It decides which food we like．D．It is active toward high-calorie food．
38．Which is the correct order for the experiment on the first day？C
①The volunteers skipped breakfast．
②The volunteers had lunch．
③The volunteers had a brain scan．
A．①②③B．③②①C．①③②D．③①②
39．In the experiment，the volunteers without breakfast ate about 20%Dat lunch．
A．of the usual breakfast                 B．more than the usual breakfast
C．of the usual lunch                       D．more than the usual lunch
40．Which of the following can be the title for this passage？A
A．Breakfast still most important         B．Three meals a day
C．Experiments on breakfast                 D．Experiments on lunch．

There was a sudden rise in the water and the calf was washed clean over the mother's body and was gone．Ma Shwe turned quickly to reach it and pressed the calf with her head and trunk（象鼻） against the rocky bank．Then with a huge effort，she picked it up in her trunk and tried until she was able to place it on a narrow shelf of rock．
Just at this moment she fell back into the river．If she were carried down，it would be certain death．I knew，as well as she did，that there was one spot（地點(diǎn)） where she could get up the bank，but it was on the other side from where she had put her calf．
While I was wondering what I could do next，I heard the sound of a mother's love．Ma Shwe had crossed the river and got up the bank and was making her way back as fast as she could，roaring （吼叫） all the time，but to her calf it was music．
