Frankly, I appreciate myself very much.Yes, I admit I"m in many aspects not as good as other people, but I don"t think I"m always not good.When I find what I"ve done or written is okay, I"ll remain pleased with myself for quite a few days, and if I receive praise for it, I"ll even become so excited as to add a few words to reward myself.      True, I"m not modest at all.People may call me conceited (自负的). But I think otherwise.      I appreciate other people.I appreciate anything good.Isn"t it unfair to forget appreciating myself while appreciating others?      We Chinese generally tend to be modest, and we take pride in being so.For example, a Chinese man will call his own wife zhuojing, meaning"my humble wife", and his own writings zhuozuo, meaning"my poor writings". But if you call his wife a "rustic (乡村的) woman" or his writings"trash", he would, I"m sure, declare he would make a clean break with you angrily.As a matter of fact, there is probably no difference at all between what is said by him and you.      I don"t think it"s wrong of you to freely praise yourself if you"re really worthy of praise.As we know, there is an old Chinese saying disparaging (蔑视) a melon seller, named Lao Wang, who keeps praising his own goods.Well, why can"t he praise his melons if they are really sweet and juicy?      Lao Wang sells melons for a living.How could he carry on business if he, by imitating the affectations (装模作样) of us intellectuals, were to show false modesty about his melons?He would sure enough die of starvation.      Selfappreciation is therefore a key to professional dedication and enjoyment of work.Needless to say, the same is true of those who make a living with their pen.One will lose confidence in writing when he stops admiring his own essays. 1. We know from the first three paragraphs that the author________. A. is modest in some way B. is pleased to be a good writer C. is too conceited D. thinks it unfair to appreciate others 2. What do we know about the author"s attitude towards Chinese modesty according to Paragraph 4? A. Supportive.   B. Negative. C. Neutral.   D. Careless. 3. The author mentions the example of Lao Wang to prove that______. A. Lao Wang is very proud of himself B. melon sellers should praise their goods C. reasonable selfappreciation is good D. writers should learn from Lao Wang 4. The purpose of the passage is to encourage readers to be________. A. modest  B. considerate C. respectful   D. confident
信息匹配 A. Reasons for Having Large Families in Some Countries. B. Calculation of Population Growth. C. Efforts Made to Lower the Mortality Rate (死亡率) D. High Fertility Rates in Developing Countries. E. Low Fertility Rates in Developed Countries. F. Birth Control Programs. 1. _____      Population growth is determined by the relationship between births and deaths.The growth rate is calculated by the birth rate minus the death rate.If the birth rate is 4%, for example, and the death rate is 3%, the population growing at rate of 1% per year. 2._____      Historically, families had many children, but average life expectancies are low and many children died young.Improvements in nutrition and public health programs in the past 30 years have led to a drop in the mortality rate and hence to more rapid population growth. 3._____      Public health programs and improved nutrition over the past 30 years have brought about declines in mortality rates in the developing nations.But fertility rates (出生率) have not declined as quickly, and the result has been high rates of population growth.Reduced population growth depends to some extent on decreased birth rates. 4._____      Family planning and modern forms of birth control are important mechanisms for decreasing fertility, but by themselves such programs have had rather limited success in most countries where they have been tried.If family planning strategies are to be successful, they must make sense to the people who are supposed to benefit from them. 5. _____      To a great extent, in developing countries people want large families because they believe they need them.In some societies, children are important sources of farm labor, and they may thus make significant contributions to household income.In societies without any social security programs for the aged, children may also provide a vital source of income for their old parents.

To some people, happiness is something to do with simplicity, and it is the ability to extract pleasure from the simplest things-such as a peach stone (桃核). It is obvious that it has nothing to do with success.      For Sir Henry Stewart, it was certainly successful. I remember some ten years ago when he was made King"s Counsel, Amos and I went to congratulate him.We smiled happily; he merely looked as miserable as though he"d received a punishment. He took his success as a child does his medicine. And not one of his achievements brought even a sign of a smile to his tired eyes.      I asked him one day what it was like to achieve all one"s ambitions.He looked down at his roses and went on watering them.Then he said, "The only value in achieving one"s ambitions is that you then realize that they are not worth achieving."      Yesterday, I was passing his house and he called me,"Come and see, Jan.Look! I have done it at last!" There he was, holding a small box of earth in his hand.I observed three tiny shoots out of it.      "And there were only three!" he said, his eyes laughing to heaven.      "Three what?" I asked.      "Peach stones," he replied. "I"ve always wanted to make peach stones grow, even since I was a child, when I used to take them home after a party, or as a man after a banquet. And I used to plant them, and then forgot where I planted them. But now at last I have done it. I had only three stones, and three shoots," he counted.      Then Sir Henry ran off, calling for his wife to come and see his achievement-his achievement of simplicity.

A. He felt happy from the simplest things. B. He was made King"s Counsel. C. He was able to make the peach stones shoot. D. He didn"t take his success seriously.

A. to show that Sir Henry felt miserable when he was promoted B. to prove that Sir Henry didn"t want to be successful C. to suggest that Sir Henry"s future job would be hard to do D. to tell us that Sir Henry took his success as a tiny thing in his life
3. According to Sir Henry Stewart, the value in achieving one"s ambitions is _____.
A. that he discovers it valueless B. that he finds it worth his efforts C. that he has achieved it D. that he fails to realize it

A. criticism   B. disapproval   C. admiration   D. tease

Age plays a major part in people who are infected with cold, ie, in people who suffer from cold infection.A study done by University of Michigan, has shown information that seems to be true for the general population.Babies are the most cold infected group, generally more than six colds in their first year.Boys have more colds than girls up to the age of three.After three, girls are easier to get infected with cold than boys, and teenage girls get three colds a year to boys" two.The general cold infections continue to get less into adults.Elderly people who are in good health have as few as one or two colds every year.One interesting thing is found among people in their twenties, especially women, who show a rise in cold infection, because people in this age group are most likely to have young children.       The study has also found that economy plays an important role as well.With more and more income, the frequency at which colds are reported in the family is getting lower and lower.Families with the lowest income usually sufferabout a third ally forces people to live in rooms more crowded than rooms owned by richer people, and the crowding usually leads to more chances for the cold virus to travel from person to person.Low income may also have an effect on our diet.Many scientists believe that a poorer diet usually leads into more possibilities of cold infection. 1. Which of the age groups has the highest frequency of cold infection? A. Small babies.   B. Teenage boys. C. Adult women.  D. Elderly people. 2. The purpose of writing this passage is to________. A. give the readers some tips to avoid cold infection B. show a carefullmade study on cold infection C. report the major reasons leading to cold infection D. describe all the possible dangers of cold infection 3.

A. age is the only important factor that connects with colds B. families with the highest income will more easily get infected C. people have lower frequency of infection as they grow older D. a better diet may help people to fight against cold infection

During my high school years, the most important thing was what I was wearing to the Friday night dance and who I was taking. Although college was talked about, it was the least of my worries.      When I was graduating eighth grade and starting high school, my older brother was graduating twelfth grade and going onto college. For my graduation, he gave me a card in which he wrote, "Enjoy your four years. . . They go by fast." I remember not believing him then, but looking back. . . He was right. Those four years shaped who I was as a person, pushed me to my limit and encouraged me to become an adult.      However, I was so completely absorbed in my junior and senior years of high school, that when someone spoke of college I brushed it off. I wasn"t ready to leave my comfort zone of having all of my closest friends together and knowing what every single day was going to be like. Studying was something I did only AFTER I nailed my halftime dance performance. I knew my parents wanted me to go to college, so I told them I would go to community college (社区学院) and I didn"t worry about my SAT (美国大学入学考试) scores.      When my senior year passed and everyone graduated and went off to their own colleges, I started to wish I had done the same. My friends were living away, meeting new people, and discovering new places, while I was living at home and driving to and from class every day. It seemed exactly like high school. I hated it!I thought college was supposed to be different!Why didn"t I take more time to research colleges and do the same?I ended up loving college and wishing I had four years to enjoy the campus (大学校园) atmosphere instead of two.      My advice to anyone thinking about attending college is to think about it very seriously and look into all of your choices well ahead of time. Now I have graduated and I am working fulltime and I would do anything to go back to my high school days for a second chance!
