Negative (消极的)self talk and negative energy can affect you m many ways and cause you additional stress. Because of this,developing more Positive self talk’s an important way to reduce stress in your life. You can help yourself maintain a positive frame of mind 一which will help with positive self talk一by surrounding yourself with positive energy in your life. You can get that by adding some elements to your life.
Listening to music that not only has a soothing melody,but an uplifting message,can be great for developing positive self talk. Have you ever had a song “stuck in your head” for a few hours or days,the lyrics repeating themselves in your mind?’’ If those lyrics were positive and inspirational,that would be a good thing. It’s a much better mental soundtrack to have than a running stream of complaints,criticisms of self-limiting thoughts,or even songs that had more depressing or sad lyrics.
Books on strength, personal power, enlightenment, or self help can be good resources to help you change your outlook and the things you say to yourself. Rather than bringing habitual self-defeating thoughts,you can find yourself thinking of new can-do concepts when times get tough.
One of the most important ways you can get and keep positive energy in your life is with the company you keep. Do your friends uplift you,or bring you down? Are they critical,or complementary? Ideal friendships provide support when you’re down, fun when you’re up,wisdom when you’re lost,and positive regard. Good friends can inspire you to reach greater heights,and see your strengths even when you don’t always. Pay attention to how your friends make you feel,and if they’re less than supportive,start putting your energy and time toward people who are better suited to be your friend.
In addition,positive affirmations (肯定) can certainly change your self talk from negative to positive. Now,why not begin working positive affirmations into your life in some creative ways?

Having friends may well keep you healthier and help you deal with stress better. Some studies show that people with close friends have a greater ability to fight disease than people who are alone.
Make friendship a priority. Find the time to be with friends even if it means letting the grass in your garden uncut or the dishes unwashed for a while. When you can’t get together, use the phone to keep in touch.
Open up to close friends. Maintaining a deep friendship requires a level of “heartfelt” intimacy (亲密). Don’t be afraid to express your inner fears and disappointments. Listen to your friends when they have problems,but offer advice only when it’s wanted. Help raise friends’ self-esteem (自尊)when they are shaken by a job loss, or other such events.
Have different friends for different activities, such as going to the movies,singing in a choir,and joining in a bowling league.
Don’t wait for a friend to ask a favor. When a friend has the flu,offer to go to the store or drive his or her children to their after­school activities.
Never take a friendship for granted. Like a good marriage,friendship needs care and patience. Become a joiner. Find a group that matches your interests.
Talk to strangers. Conversations started in museums, laundry rooms,or bookstores can lead to firm friendship.
Enroll in an adult­education course. A classroom is an ideal place to meet others with similar interests.

Every object tells a story. Even the most ordinary objects can present to us powerful images. Sometimes it is the ordinary nature of these objects that actually makes them so extraordinary. Such is the case with an old leather shoe in a museum in Alaska. At first glance it does not look like much. It is a woman’s shoe of a style popular in the 1890s. But what is unique(独特的) about this shoe is where it was found. It was discovered on the Checkout Pass, the famous trail used by the people seeking gold in Alaska. Who it belonged to or why it was left there is not known. Was it perhaps dropped by accident as the woman climbed up the 1500 stairs carved outface? Or did she throw away goods that she didn’t need in order to travel lighter?
Over 100, 000 people with “gold fever” made this trip hoping to become millionaires. Few of them understood that on their way they would have to cross a harsh wildness. Unprepared for such a dangerous journey, many died of starvation and exposure to the cold weather.
The Canadian government finally started requiring the gold seekers to bring one ton of supplies with them. This was thought to be enough for a person to survive for one year. They would carry their supplies in backpacks(背包) each weighing up to fifty pounds; it usually took at least 40 trips to get everything to the top and over the pass. Whoever dropped the shoe must have been a brave and determined woman. Perhaps she was successful and made it to Alaska. Perhaps she had to turn back in defeat. No one will ever know for sure, but what we do know is that she took part in one of the greatest adventures in the 19th century.
小题1:The ordinary woman’s leather shoe is considered unusual because ______. 
A.it was an important clue to life in the past
B.it was found on a famous trail
C.it at one time belonged to a VIP
D.it was a fashionable shoe at that time
小题2:According to this passage, many people who went to Alaska ______. 
A.eventually became millionaires B.brought with them many shoes
C.had conflicts with the Eskimos D.were not properly equipped
小题3: The Canadian government made gold seekers bring one year’s supplies with them so that ______.
A.they would not die of hunger and cold
B.the army would have enough food for fighting a war
C.they would change these goods with the Eskimos
D.the supplies would make Alaska rich
小题4:No matter what happened to the woman who owned the shoe, ______. 
A.she must have lived a happy life
B.she certainly dropped the shoe on purpose
C.her adventurous spirit is definitely admired
D.her other shoes were equally fashionable

It was the beginning of the school year a few years ago and I had a little boy in my class who came from a non-English speaking home. He was very quiet and shy. I wasn’t sure how much he understood during the school day and I was especially concerned that he just stood by himself at break time and did not play. If I tried to talk to him, he would turn away and tightly shut his eyes to hide from me.
After a day or two of this, I decided to seek the help of one of my outgoing and friendly little girls. I called her over and she ran to me, ready to help.
I immediately began a long speech about what I needed from her. I asked her if she would try to get him to play, and I started talking quickly about all these suggestions on how she could start communicating with him. I explained she could do this, she could do that, she could try this idea, she could try that idea. She touched my arm to stop my talking and looked up at me in that wise and special way that only a six-year-old can, and said, “Don’t worry. I speak kid.” And she ran off.
I stood there all alone, silently watching her. It took less than a minute for the two new friends to run off, hand in hand, happily joining a game of tag(捉人游戏) taking place all over the gym.
I often think of that small moment, about what I learned and how important it is for all teachers to speak kid—big kid, little kid and middle kid. I knew my focus must be on teaching students how to think, how to approach problems, and how to figure out solutions and never take the opportunity away. We must be ready to learn from our students because those “teachable moments” during the school days are for us, the teachers, as well as our kids.
小题1:.
Why did the author worry about the boy?
A.He didn’t dare to look the author in the eye.
B.He couldn’t speak English as well as other students.
C.He failed to understand what the author taught.
D.He was unwilling to communicate with others.
小题2:.
After the girl agreed to help, the author    .
A.taught her what to do in detailB.thanked her for her willingness to help
C.sent her to make friends with the boy at once
D.reminded her of what she should be careful about
小题3:.
By saying “I speak kid”, the girl meant that she could    .
A.speak the language that kids understandB.speak the boy’s native language
C.understand what kids are thinkingD.speak well like a little kid
小题4:.
The underlined words “the opportunity” refer to the chance to      .
A.play at break timeB.learn from students
C.solve problemsD.speak kid

The teacher who did the most to encourage me was, as it happens, my aunt. She was Myrtle C. Manigault, the wife of my mother’s brother Bill. She taught me in second grade at all-black Summer School in Camden, New Jersey.
During my childhood and youth, Aunt Myrtle encouraged me to develop every aspect of my potential, without regard for what was considered practical or possible for black females. I liked to sing; she listened to my voice and pronounced it good. I couldn’t dance; she taught me the basic dancing steps. She took me to the theatre—not just children’s theatre, but adult comedies and dramas—and her faith that I could appreciate adult plays was not disappointed.
My aunt also took down books from her extensive library and shared them with me. I had books at home, but they were all serious classics. Even as a child I had a strong liking for humour, and I’ll never forget the joy of discovering Don Marquis’s Archy & Mehitabel through her.
Most important, perhaps, Aunt Myrtle provided my first opportunity to write for publication. A writer herself for one of the black newspapers, she suggested my name to the editor as a “youth columnist”. My column, begun when I was fourteen, was supposed to cover teenage social activities—and it did—but it also gave me the freedom to write on many other subjects as well as the habit of gathering material, the discipline of meeting deadlines, and, after graduation from college six years later, a solid collection of published material that carried my name and was my passport to a series of writing jobs.
Today Aunt Myrtle is still an enthusiastic supporter of her “favourite niece”. Like a diamond, she has reflected a bright, multifaceted (多面的) image of possibilities to every pupil who has crossed her path.
小题1:Which of the following did Aunt Myrtle do to the author during her childhood and youth?
A.She lent her some serious classics.
B.She cultivated her taste for music.
C.She discovered her talent for dancing.
D.She introduced her to adult plays.
小题2:What does Archy and Mehitabel in Paragraph 3 probably refer to?
A.A book of great fun.B.A writer of high fame.
C.A serious masterpiece.D.A heartbreaking play.
小题3:Aunt Myrtle recommended the author to a newspaper editor mainly to ______.
A.develop her capabilities for writing
B.give her a chance to collect material
C.involve her in teenage social activities
D.offer her a series of writing jobs
小题4:We can conclude from the passage that Aunt Myrtle was a teacher who ______.
A.trained pupils to be diligent and well-disciplined
B.gave pupils confidence in exploiting their potential
C.emphasized what was practical or possible for pupils.
D.helped pupils overcome difficulties in learning

Even before my father left us, my mother had to go back to work to support our family.Once I came out of the kitchen, complaining, “Mom, I can't peel potatoes.I have only one hand.”
Mom never looked up from sewing."You get yourself into that kitchen and peel those potatoes," she told me. “And don't ever use that as an excuse for anything again!”
