21、Simple Ways to Value Yourself More

Self-value is the action that helps us match that self-worth. We can also think of self-value as another feeding element of the bigger umbrella term of self-worth. 【1】

Acknowledge the inner critic. We all have that loud inner voice that isn't always kind. When left unchecked, the inner critic can have destructive effects on our self-esteem. 【2】 Wresting with this critic is often a lifelong journey, but a first good step is to acknowledge it. When you can pause and acknowledge that it is calling the shots, you can learn to take back your power and value.

Receive a compliment (恭维). We’re so afraid of coming off as needy, that we hardly ever receive the good words someone sends our way. Really, the true problem here is that we don't often believe we're worthy of the compliment! The beautiful truth here is that we don't often see ourselves in the same way others see us. 【3】

Be grateful for effort. 【4】 We don't always stop to examine just how much effort we put forth in everyday living. One way to value yourself more is to be grateful for everything you do. It's easy to be critical and wish you'd done better, but you're always doing the best that you can.

【5】 When things don't go as planned, practice forgiveness. When people hurt you, practice forgiveness. Forgiveness is the free remedy that can alleviate so much of our suffering when we hold onto bitterness. It's worthy of implementing it into our everyday life.

A．Forgive yourself often.

B．It often stops us trusting in ourselves.

C．It's not always easy to show up to life.

D．This is no place for our self-worth to grow.

E．Practice positive confirmation in the Mirror.

F．So, next time someone praise you, receive their words fully.

G．Valuing ourselves is shown in various ways, many of which are highlighted below.

22、Getting rid of dirt, in the opinion of most people, is a good thing. However, there is nothing fixed about attitudes to dirt.

In the early 16th century, people thought that dirt on the skin was a means to block out disease, as medical opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water could open up the skin and let ills in. A particular danger was thought to lie in public baths. By 1538, the French king had closed the bath houses in his kingdom. So did the king of England in 1546. Thus began a long time when the rich and the poor in Europe lived with dirt in a friendly way. Henry IV, King of France, was famously dirty. Upon learning that a nobleman had taken a bath, the king ordered that, to avoid the attack of disease, the nobleman should not go out.

Though the belief in the merit of dirt was long-lived, dirt has no longer been regarded as a nice neighbor ever since the 18th century. Scientifically speaking, cleaning away dirt is good to health. Clean water supply and hand washing are practical means of preventing disease. Yet, it seems that standards of cleanliness have moved beyond science since World War Ⅱ. Advertisements repeatedly sell the idea: clothes need to be whiter than white, cloths ever softer, surfaces to shine. Has the hate for dirt, however, gone too far?

Attitudes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays. Many first-time parents nervously try to warn their children off touching dirt, which might be responsible for the spread of disease.On the contrary, Mary Ruebush, an American immunologist(免疫学家)，encourages children to play in the dirt to build up a strong immune system. And the latter position is gaining some ground.

【1】 The kings of France and England in the 16th century closed bath houses because .

A. they lived healthily in a dirty environment.

B. they believed disease could be spread in public baths

C. they thought bath houses were too dirty to stay in

D. they considered bathing as the cause of skin disease

【2】 Which of the following best describes Henry IV’s attitude to bathing?

A. Approving. B. Afraid.

C. Curious   D. Uninterested.

【3】 How does the passage mainly develop?

A. By providing examples.

B. By making comparisons.

C. By following the order of time.

D. By following the order of importance.

【4】 What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?

A. To stress the role of dirt.

B. To introduce the history of dirt.

C. To call attention to the danger of dirt.

D. To present the change of views on dirt.

23、The girl was hanging by her hands from the railings of a balcony(阳台的栏杆). The balcony was on the twelfth floor of the high-rise block next to his. His flat was on the ninth floor and he had to look up to see her. It was half-past six in the morning. He had been awakened by the sound of an aircraft flying dangerously low overhead, and had got out of bed to look. His sleepy eyes, moved from the blue sky which was empty of cloud, empty of anything but the bright disappearing arrow of the aircraft, and then rested on the hanging figure.

He really thought he must be dreaming, for this sunrise time was the hour for dreams. Then, when he knew he wasn’t, he decided it must be a scene in a film. There were cameramen down there, a whole film unit, and all the correct safety precautions had been taken. Probably the girl wasn’t even a real girl, but a dummy(假人). He opened the window and looked down. The car park, paved courts, grass spaces between the blocks, all were deserted. On the balcony rail one of the dummy’s hands moved, desperately. He had to believe then what was obviously happening. The girl was trying to kill herself. She had lost her courage and now was trying to stay alive. All these thoughts and conclusions of his occupied about thirty seconds. Then he acted. He picked up the phone and dialed the emergency number for the police.

The arrival of the police cars and the rescue of the girl became the focus of talk for the people of the two blocks. Someone found out that it was he who had called the police and he became an unwilling hero. He was a modest, quiet young man, and was in relief when the talk began to die away. Again he was able to enter and leave his flat without being pointed at as a kind of St George and sometimes even congratulated.

About a fortnight after that morning, he was getting ready to go to the theatre, just putting on his overcoat, when the doorbell rang. He didn’t recognize the girl who stood outside. He had never seen her face. She said, “I’m Lydia Simpson. You saved my life. I’ve come to thank you.”

A. He looked down from the window.

B. He went to see the noisy aircraft.

C. He called the police to save the girl.

D. He hurried to check who was outside.

A. scaring B. desperate

C. unbelievable D. dangerous

B. the girl was unwilling to be rescued

C. the police arrived quickly on the scene

D. the girl was actually an actress in a film

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

“Bye, Mom. Bye, Dad. Don’t worry. We’ll take care of everything!” Carly waved from the front door of the shop as her parents drove off. They were heading for a well-deserved vacation from their candy store, and Carly had promised them she’d be able to run it by herself. Her parents didn’t quite agree. However, they accepted by having Carly’s aunt Maggie help. Maggie didn’t have any experience running a store, but Carly did, and at least her aunt would be good company. Her parents jokingly called her aunt “strange” or “uniquely creative”, but it didn’t matter. Carly always had fun when her aunt was around.

Then Maggie blew into the store, “All right, Carly my love, let`s get this party started,” she smiled. “What do we do first?” “The main job is to serve customers, but we also make some of the candy ourselves. Dad and Mom did most already, but we have to finish up a few things. I’ll show you.” Carly took her aunt to where the family made some of their candy, such as fresh fudge (奶油软糖) and cotton candy. They had lots of delicious flavors for customers to choose from. Aunt Maggie took a piece of chocolate mint fudge. “It’s delicious, right?” asked Carly. She knew the fudge was perfect. “It’s good, but...unoriginal,” replied her aunt. “We can do better.”

Before Carly could question what Maggie meant, the woman had gone to investigate the kitchen. "Bingo!” called Maggie, coming back to Carly with her hands full of items. “We need to add some of these to jazz up that basic fudge taste.” “Brussels sprouts (抱子甘蓝)?” Carly was surprised. She couldn’t be serious! But she was. The woman was busy cutting and then adding small pieces of the green vegetable into the fudge.

Carly’s eyes grew wide as her aunt mixed them together. Carly shook her head worriedly. She couldn’t imagine what her parents were going to think upon their return. Her aunt continued to create strange candy combinations: lemonade with pickle juice, and barbeque-flavored candy.

注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；

2. 请按如下格式作答。

Paragraph 1:

Carly looked up as the bell over the front door rang, announcing some customers.
