   "Positive energy" refers to anything that increases your feeling of well-being.

We are never short of books telling us to attract "positive" power by changing the way we view things. "Think positively," they say.

But British psychologist Richard Wiseman believes that we've got it the wrong way around.

Contrary to popular belief, Wiseman says that it is our behaviour that causes our thoughts and emotions. His newly published book Rip It Up ， presents a radical insight (激進的洞察力)into both the body and the brain. It claims that physical ac?tions are the quickest, easiest and most powerful way to instantly change how you think and feel. The Chinese version of the book has been available since August.

"If you want to be confident or successful, the best thing to do is to act the part," he writes. So don't just think about changing your life. Do it. Smiling makes you feel happy; clenching your fists (緊握拳頭)makes you feel powerful,and hold?ing your head up high makes you feel confident.

A century ago an American philosopher, William James, said," If you want a quality,act as if you already have it. " Rip It Up presents scientific evidence show?ing how simply acting his "as if" principle can increase motivation, improve confi?dence, promote persuasion,and change attitudes.

Try some of the tips Wiseman offers to gain positive energy:

1.  Sitting up straight and crossing your arms can help you to become perse?vered.

2.  Acting as if you are interested in what you have to do helps you overcome procrastination (拖延).

1. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

  A.  Few books tell us to think positively.

B.  Rip It Up is a film.

C.  William James is an American psychologist.

D.  Acting as though you show interest in all you have to do helps you go over delay.

2. What can we learn from the fifth paragraph?

  A.  If you want to be confident or successful, you should act quickly.

B.  Just thinking can change your life.

C.  You can be happy by holding up your head.

D.  Clenching your fists shows your strength.

3. What's the main idea of the passage?

  A.  Confidence is good for your health.

B.  Smiling makes you happy.

C.  The ways to get positive energy.

D.  Acting is important in your life.

19. The boys     by the coach now will take part in the sports meeting of the school next month.

完形填空

   Valentine's Day was the time my father chose to show his love for the special people in his life. Over the years I fondly(想當然地) thought 1 him as my "Valentine Man".

   My first recollection of the 2 he could bring to Valentine's Day came when I was six. That morning at the breakfast table I found a card and a gift-wrapped package at my chair. The card was  3  "Love,Dad" and the gift was a ring with a small piece of red glass to   4  my birthstone,a ruby (紅寶石），There is  5  difference between red glass and rubies to a child of six, and I remember  6 that ring

with pride that all the cards in the world  7  not surpass (超越）.

  8   I grew older,the gifts gave  9  to heart-shaped boxes filled with my 10     chocolate and always included a   11    card signed "Love,Dad". In those

years my thank you became  12   of a perfunctory (敷衍)response. The cards

seemed less 13 and I took for granted that the Valentine's Day would 14 be there. I had  15   my hopes and dreams in receiving cards and gifts from "significant others" and "Love,Dad" just didn't seem quite 16

His final card remains on my desk today. It's a 17' of how special father can be and how important it has been to me over the years to know that I had a fa?ther who continued a18 of love with simple acts of understanding and an ability to express happiness to the people in his life.
