　　Ⅱ.阅读理解

　　A

　　体裁：说明文　话题：自信与成功　词数：426　时间：6′

　　Nothing succeeds like confidence.When you are truly confident, it radiates (辐射 from you like sunlight，and attracts success to you like a magnet (磁铁)．Besides, those who are selfconfident can in turn inspire confidence in others: their audience，their peers, their bosses, their customers, and their friends.And gaining the confidence of others is one of the key ways in which a selfconfident person finds success.

　　So how can we build a sense of self－confidence and prepare ourselves on the way to success?

　　First, do what you believe to be right, even if others mock or criticize you for it.Believe in yourself and believe that you can do it under any circumstances, because if you believe you can, then you really will.The belief keeps you searching for answers, which means that pretty soon you will get them.

　　Second, govern your behavior based on what other people think.What's more important, be willing to take risks and go the extra miles to achieve better results, in which case mistakes cannot be avoided.Don't hesitate to admit your mistakes, and learn from them.Next, work hard to settle the problems in order to cover up your mistakes before anyone notices.Building self-confidence is readily achievable, as long as you have the focus and determination to carry things through.And what's even better is that the things you'll do to build self-confidence will also build success—after all, your confidence will come from real, solid achievement.No one can take this away from you!

　　As you sow, sow will reap.With your perseverance and improvement, you are getting closer to success.At this stage, wait for others to congratulate you on your accomplishments and compliments elegantly.“Thanks, I really worked hard on that success, I'm pleased you recognize my efforts.” The congratulations and compliments from others will promote you to gain further success.

　　Self-confidence is extremely important in almost every aspect of our lives, and it is no wonder that so many people struggle to find it.Self-confidence really can be learned and built on.Besides, whether you're working on your own self-confidence or building the confidence of people around you, it's well worth the effort!

　　体裁：说明文　话题：错误与成长　词数：352　时间：5′

　　We live in a culture that sends out very mixed messages about mistakes: We're told we learn by making them, but we work hard to avoid them.So the result is most of us know that we are going to make mistakes, but deep down, we feel we shouldn't.

　　Experiments with schoolchildren who did well on a given test show that those who were praised for being smart and then offered a more challenging or less challenging task afterward usually chose the easier one.On the other hand, children praised for trying hard—rather than being smart—far more often selected the more difficult task.

　　If we try hard to avoid mistakes, we aren't open to getting the information we need in order to do better.In a writing study, experiments showed that those who are so scared to make mistakes perform worse in writing tasks than those who aren't as worried about being perfect.They fear receiving any kind of negative feedback, so they don't learn where they went wrong and how to get better.

　　We don't just learn more when we're open to mistakes, we learn deeper.Research tells us that if we're only concerned about getting the right answer, we don't always learn the underlying concepts that help us truly understand whatever we're trying to figure out.Mistakes need to be seen not as a failure to learn, but as a guide to what still needs to be learned.As Thomas Edison said, “I am not discouraged, because every abandoned wrong attempt is another step forward.”

　　Furthermore, we often make mistakes because we try new things—we wander away from accepted paths.Teflon, penicillin—these are examples of great discoveries made by mistake.Take a page from Albert Einstein, who said, “Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.”

　　【语篇解读】　本文讲述了错误对于我们成长的积极作用，并列举了相关实验和例子，以及我们应该用积极的态度对待错误。

　　D．He will hide his mistakes from his teachers.

　　答案　B　[细节理解题。从文中第二段第一句可知“对在测试中取得较好成绩的学生做实验，给他们一个较难的任务和一个较简单的任务，被表扬聪明的同学更倾向于选择简单的任务”。]

　　27．If a person is always scared of making mistakes, he will ________．

　　A．lose confidence in everything
