A week later Mother took a job selling dry goods at half the salary the radio station 18 “It's a job I can do,though.”she said simply.But the evening practice on the old green typewriter continued.I had a very 19 feeling now when I passed her door at night and heard her tapping 20 across the paper.I knew there was something more going on in there than a woman learning to type.

1.作者高高兴兴地回家过周末,看见家里所发生的事情 2.下文有提:mother in tears。 3.该句话是作者来解释他为什么会shock,是因为他发现他是多么不理解你知道母亲身上的压力,little表理解得极少或不理解之意。 4.由下文通过母亲断断续续说出的话及其情感的表露,作者才慢慢地理解了,所以用slowly。 5.根据下文的failure,暗示此处用A。 6.sense在此表达“感觉到”,因为后面接的是pain和tension,所以不可能用 watch“观看”,know of“间接听说”,recognize“认出”。 7.hold back“阻止;抑制(感情);隐瞒;退缩”;put away“收起来(目前不用)”; sit up“熬夜”;stop from“阻止”。根据文意,母亲是去抑制她那强烈的感情。 8.用 turn表示转变,联系上下文,一开始 shocked,然后 sensed,这时句中用了suddenly,突然把开始那种只是震惊的感情变了。something in-side me“我内心的某种东西”,还是应当指情感,想法。 9.把脸靠在我的肩膀上,所以用 against。 10.用 tightly表示“紧紧地抱住母亲”,表示了作者对母亲的情感,其他三词“彻底地”、“仔细地”、“有礼貌地”都与语境不吻合。 11.and that是引导一个并列的宾语从句,和l was doing并列,按照此句的意思,不表转折,也不表原因和目的。 12.因为此时作者是抱着母亲,母亲靠在他肩上,所以他(的手)应抚摸着母亲的背部,在此选back。 13.break此处的语义为:沮丧、崩溃。作者第一次理解了母亲这么容易被击垮,这与上文作者的shocked,母亲的哭泣等都一致。content语义为“满足”,其他两词fall“倒下”,understand“理解”都与上下文联系不上。 14.用yet表示转折,因为 yet下文的语义与上句“她仍然是我母亲”只有“然而,但是”才能连结起来。而however后一般需要一个逗号把前后断开。 15.根据下文(冒号后面)所列举的,说明此处用more,表示除“母亲”以外,还有别的(具有别的含义的人)。 16.该空前为fear,后为failure,所以不会填defeat,因为与failure重复;cut“割口”,不合适;所以应在wound与hurt中选择,而hurt除受伤外;还可指感情上的受伤,因此选D。 17.孩子在母亲的怀抱里寻求的是安慰(comfort)。 18.给别人干活,别人给工资,可用 offer,也可用 pay sb.。pay for用于sth.,如 pay(money)for the bike;supply表达“供应给某人(所需之物品);contribute意思是“作贡献”。 19.因为有了上文看到母亲感情外露,体谅、理解了母亲承受的压力,所以现在(文中用了now,尤为重要)再经过母亲房门时,作者的感情就不同了,所以选different。 |

People who show confidence really seem to have it made. They seize more rewarding careers, keep good relationships, and just seem to do everything with more styles than the rest of us.
So what is the secret? There isn’t one. Self-confidence is a skill and habit that anyone can learn to develop. And although people who are raised in an encouraging environment with confident role models have a hard start in self-confidence development, we all can learn to become more confident at any age.
Try these simple tips for practicing and increasing your self-confidence levels:
Dare to fail. Anybody who’s out there bravely performing is going to fail repeatedly. If you are not failing, you are not trying. So don’t take failure too hard or too personally. Just learn to deal with it and use its lessons to keep improving.
When in doubt, pretend you know what you are doing. Because, if you are confident of your abilities, by the time you have done it, you will be experienced.
Dress for success. You don’t have to be beautiful to be confident. Make the most of your own unique physical characters and weaken your disadvantages.
Listen to yourself. You are the only person who knows what’s right for you. Don’t put others’ opinions above your own inner voice.
Build a confident vocabulary. Stop putting yourself down and give up continually blaming your tiny weaknesses. Learn to show up your strong points and the world will learn to see and celebrate them with you.
Pass on the praise. Praise others for their virtues and strengths. This practice will not decrease your confidence, but help increase it.
The passage is written mainly __________.
A. to explain the definition of self-confidence
B. to explain the secret of self-confidence
C. to tell people how important self-confidence is
D. to tell people how to build self-confidence
The underlined word “one” in the second paragraph refers to __________.
A. the secret of self-confidence
B. the skill of self-confidence
C. the style of doing things
D. a rewarding career
The main idea of the sixth paragraph is __________.
A. to be confident means to have no disadvantages
B. taking full advantage of your physical characters will help you be confident
C. your unique characters will help you be confident and be successful
D. to be confident means to be beautiful
All the following are tips to increase your self-confidence level EXCEPT_________.
A. not to be afraid of failure
B. dress yourself properly
C. pretend to know everything
D. make your advantages more obvious
__________ will weaken your self-confidence.
A. Praising others for their strong points
B. Always following others’ advice to do things
C. Giving up blaming your weaknesses
D. Believing in yourself
