People will feel excited when it comes to holidays. But holidays can also be a very lonely time, particularly for those who spend the holidays alone. Here are some tips to keep yourself balanced and productive over the holidays.
Plan your time in advance
You’ll have several days to fill up, so plan ahead. Find books and movies you have always wanted to read and watch, and make a list of events that you’d like to attend. 小題1:  
Make a list of things you have always wanted to do but never had the time for. See this time alone as a gift: a stretch of time where you have total control to do whatever you want. Use it wisely.
Find Support
  小題2:  Note that scheduling time to talk with friends and loved ones makes contact more likely to happen. Introverts who tend to avoid social contracts get support from the inside, so journaling and taking some time for personal reflection is a good idea.
Don’t wallow(沉溺)
Holidays alone tend to be times when beating yourself up and getting depressed are more likely to happen. 小題3:  Be grateful some people who are enduring family dinners wish they were in your place. Do something fun, instead!
Volunteer
Food banks, shelters and crisis centers are short-staffed during holidays when the demand is greatest. Helping out those in need will make you feel good, and will brighten other people’s holidays in turn.
  小題4: 
Do something kind. It might be feeding birds or squirrels in the park or buying sandwich for a homeless person. It will make you feel lighter and more grateful for what you have.
　  Have faith
If you are religious, find a church service to attend, or seek out something you regard as spiritual such as meditation, yoga, exercise, a walk in the park, or being around animals. Use this as an opportunity to fill your spiritual juice.
   小題5:  

A．Random Act of kindness

B．Accept Invitations

C．Extroverts can reach out to others during the holidays.

D．Avoid solo holiday depression by considering it as an opportunity to grow.

E. Following those advice on having a holiday, you shall get a wonderful whether you are extroverted or introverted.
F. Holiday is a nice thing for all the people whether you are successful of not.
G. Without a plan, you might find yourself being alone and bored, which will lower your spirits.

Raising Confident Kids
Self-esteem(自尊) is a collection of beliefs or feelings we have about ourselves. Having a healthy self-esteem can protect us through difficult times and help us remain focused on what is important to us. Research shows that children with high self-esteem grow up to be more confident adults. Self-esteem building should start from young.   小題1: 
Praise actions
Young children need feedback. It’s how they measure their actions and it plays a role in learning from experience. Provide specific praise about actual actions performed and efforts made in the process.   小題2: .
Identify strengths
Preschoolers are always watching each other. On the bright side, they learn new things from each other. On the other side, they can become self-critical when they see a peer accomplishing something they still struggle to do. 小題3:  Tell your children to focus on their strengths when they start to draw comparisons.
Foster(培養(yǎng)) a sense of belonging
Young children may not understand how peer pressure (同齡人的壓力) works, but they feel it when they’re being excluded(排除). Show your children that they are important by listening to and responding to their needs and ideas. As much as possible, save grown-up conversations for later so that you can have family conversations.   小題4: 
 小題5: 
As much as they need us, they also need to work on taking small steps towards independence. When they know they can do things, they feel more confident. Teach problem-solving skills. Step aside and let them work on challenges before jumping in to help. Help by asking, “ How can we do this in a different way? Let’s come up with some ideas together.” Getting kids involved in problem-solving teaches them how to deal with challenges in the future.
Building and maintaining healthy self-esteem can be a lifelong process, but the sooner you start, the more confident your children will become.

A．Encourage Independence

B．Spend quality time with children

C．Try to address their concerns as they arise, no matter how minor.

D．If praise is only attached to success, kids will focus on “ winning”.

E. Be sure to point out your children’s strengths regularly and be specific.
F. Below are some tips to help you promote your children’s self-esteem.
G. Each parent has the responsibility to help children to become confident.

下面文章中5處（第61~65題）需要添加小標題，請從以下選項（A、B、C、D、E和F）中選出符合各段意思的小標題。選項中有一項是多余選項。
A. You don’t track your progress
B. You don’t have a plan to reach your goal
C. Your goal is too difficult and not realistic
D. You don’t take action
E. Your goal is too general or too vague (不明確的)
F. You are not committed to your goal
How often do you set your goal and then fail to achieve it? Do you ever reflect on the reasons why you didn’t achieve your goal? There are a number of mistakes that people make when they set their goals at the start of the year. If one of these mistakes is made, then before even starting you are setting yourself up to fail. There are 5 key goal-setting mistakes that you need to avoid in 2013.
小題1:__________
If you have done any kind of goal-setting before, you’re bound to come across the SMART technique of goal-setting. SMART stands for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Time-bound. If your goal is not specific and it is ambiguous in some way, how will you know when you have actually achieved your goal? How do you actually know if you’re heading in the right direction? You should be able to measure your goals and track your progress. If you can’t, then it’s probably not clear.
小題2:__________
The SMART principle once again comes into play here. All too often people set themselves goals that are far too stretching. When the goal is beyond reachable, negative thoughts enter the mind and disbelief kicks in. This is the opposite of what a good structured goal should do. Ensure your goal is achievable and realistic. Set small targets along the way so you can track your progress. If you feel you are falling behind, reset your goal to something that you can reach.
小題3: __________
Many people set certain goals in life because they feel they have to. However, on many occasions these are not the goals that the individual is actually passionate about. The goals set are not associated with their values nor are their own goals --- the goals are those that their parents or society wants them to have. If you are not fully committed to your goal upfront, then you’re doomed from the start. You will lack the motivation and desire to actually achieve the goal.
小題4:_________
If your goal is to start an online business, that’s fantastic. However, how are you actually going to achieve it? You need to map your way towards your goal and with as much clarity as you can. Sometimes clarity can be cloudy as you may have a lack of knowledge or skill in what it is that you want to achieve. However, you can start to map the things that you can do to help you learn and grow and progress to where it is that you want to go. Besides, breaking your goals into smaller steps is essential for helping you track your progress and ensure that your goals are realistic and attainable.
小題5:__________
Without taking action you won’t get anywhere. Taking action is the most important part of any goal. Even if you take action and you find you’re not getting anywhere, you can learn from your experience. Taking action not only progresses you towards your goals, but it helps you learn from your mistakes. They are the keys to reaching your goals in 2013.

One year ago, I was in great trouble. I worked hard at English and devote all my spare time to practise it. But I failed to pass the mid-term examination, which made me great disappointed. So I asked my grandpa for advice when I got to home. Hearing that I told him, he said, “To some extent, examination results are sometime unexpected by your study level. You can’t judge your progress by one examination.” He encouraged myself to work hard for long time to check my results. I took my grandpa’s advice. Now I realize that the process of learning is much more important and my English is more better than before. From my experience, I feel that we should listen to opinion from old people.
