二、阅读理解阅读下列短文从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项。during the low time that words of encouragement from family, friends, coworkers or even strangers can boost your spirits.It is also during the low time that destructive words can be devastating(毁灭性的) and make you sink deeper and deeper into depression. example, consider this story about a group of frogs who were traveling through the woods when two of them fell into a deep pit(深坑)．All of the other frogs gathered around the pit.When they saw how deep the pit was, would never get out.
The two frogs ignored the comments and tried to jump out of the pit.The other frogs kept telling them to stop.Finally, one of the two frogs took notice of what the other frogs were saying and simply gave up.He died.The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could.Once again the crowd of frogs shouted at him to stop the pain.The more they shouted, the harder he jumped and finally he made it.
When he got out, the other frogs asked him why he continued to jump when they were all shouting at him to tell him to give up.The frog explained to them that he was a little bit deaf.He thought they were encouraging him the whole time.
Every time you have a chance to say either something positive or negative to another human being, do choose the chance to say something positive! Don't let those opportunities get away from you.Your words have a large amount of power.Use them wisely.You really never know just how much they can mean to someone else.
()11.Whyping to safety neglect(忽视) the other frogs' comments?life.
()12.What can we infer from the first paragraph?()13.The writer mainly wants to tell us ________ in the last paragraph. phenomenon now: there is a rise in the number of singers and bands that have little to do with good music.Many singers or bands know little about what good music means.What is the cause of this rise?
Most of these singers have taken music as a 搄ob?becauerse it is a good source of making money.And if you have a good appearance and also expensive clothes to show off at your concerts or at different appearances in public, then your voice is not as important as it should be.The public will prefer to admire more the most interesting parts of your body, whether you are a girl or a boy.They will even forget about the fact that you are there to show your music skills, not your dancing, which is important too, but not at such a high level.
Therefore, we can see many young girls on TV who look very good but have nothing to do with music.They choose to wear very provocative(挑逗性的) clothes to catch attention, but when it comes to singing they are a complete mess and one doesn't need to have an ear for music to notice their lack of talent.But anyway, they have concerts and they enjoy travelling from one place to another.It is the public's fault because they accept this and are pleased with this commercial music.People who enjoy this kind of music are generally young people while adults prefer listening to old good bands.
However, the young generation should understand while appearance is important, it is less important than talent and a good voice.If somebody has a great voice and wants to become a singer, he should take some special courses in this area, because they will help them improve singing abilities.
()14.The passage shows that many singers consider music as ________．fashionable lifestyle
()15.From the passage we can learn that ________．g people improve their abilities
D．a singer's talent and voice are the most important factors
()16.What do you think is the author's attitude towards the rising number of new singers and bands?D．Indifferent.
三、根据短文内容从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。______ It can go hand in hand with the fear that we might hurt someone else if we think about ourselves. The truth is that you're so much more courageous than you give yourself credit for and far stronger than you realize. Here are some ways that you can use to help yourself make the process of creating change more manageable.

Go to grab a pen or pencil and remember a journal is not for being neat and tidy with good spelling.
19.______

20.______ If we don’t give ourselves time to rest, we just end up burning out by the constant striving and worry. As we don抰 have the energy to keep going, we have to give up!
21.e______ Just accept it! I'm sorry to say that unless some people are really secure in themselves and truly happy in their own life, they're never going to like your changes. This has nothing to do with whether they love you or not. They are just for self－preservation! Therefore, ting change is about building your character.
F. Keep repeating your small steps over and over again.
G. It's a private place where you can speak out your inner thoughts.

As more and more Chinese go travelling abroad, reports about their bad manners flood in. Many overseas Chinese are embarrassed when foreigners ask them if all Chinese shout loudly, litter or spit everywhere. The poor behaviors of some Chinese have done great harm to our good reputation. Since China has become an important part of the global village, we really need to understand and respect foreign cultures, so as to get along well when travelling abroad. So before you start your next overseas trip, remember to learn about the culture and people there and mind our behaviors in public places, which aims to improve China's image in foreigners' eyes. What's more, wherever you go you need to protect the environment. Only in this way, can we win respect for ourselves and our country.
