21、We are all doubtful of ourselves sometimes. Even the most successful people can be unsure of themselves. Some people are clearly more confident than others, though. 【1】 Like a muscle, with training and in time, it can become strong and powerful. In other words, confidence is a habit. Here is some advice to develop this most important habit.
Make friends with your failings and limitations.
Obviously, you are not perfect — far from it. So long as you are challenging yourself, stepping out of your comfort zone and seeking to develop, you will be making mistakes, which are signs of growth and nothing to be ashamed of. 【2】
【3】
Confident people tend to live in a more conscious and calm way, setting goals for themselves. They are brave enough to bear failure, and are comfortable with not getting things right first time. As we challenge ourselves, our comfort zone grows, and this growth often includes the pain of failure. This pain is too much for unconfident people to bear. 【4】 Success, for confident people, is inevitable. It’s only a matter of time.
Keep a record of your achievements.
It is common for people with limited self-confidence to compare themselves negatively with others. Such people may think that others are “better” and have achieved more, so it can be very helpful to make a list of achievements. If you do this, you may find that the list is longer than you thought. Imagine what you would think if this were a list of someone else’s achievements. 【5】 Would you think highly of him or her?
A．Set challenging goals.
B．Try to achieve your goals.
C．Would you be moved by that person?
D．So it’s difficult for us to get rid of the pain.
E．Confidence can be developed like most other qualities.
F．Confident people are happy with themselves in all their weakness.
G．But to confident people, failure is only a stepping-stone, not the destination.
22、 How did you develop from an infant(婴儿),with a few elementary thinking skills, to the adult you are now, with the ability to reason and analyze the world in many complex ways involving language, symbols and logic? Your first reaction to this question may be very likely to say, “Well, I learned how to think from my experiences and from the teaching I received from adults through my life.”
Although this explanation seems naturally correct to most people, many developmental psychologists believe that much more is involved in acquiring intellectual abilities than simple learning. The current view about intellectual development is that it is a process of maturation, much like physical development, that occurs in a predictable fashion from birth through adulthood.
Do you look at an infant and see a person who, with enough learning, is capable(有能力的) of adult physical behaviors? Of course not. Instead, you know that the child's behavior will become increasingly complex over time through a process of physical maturation. You know that until the child achieves a certain level of development, all the learning in the world cannot produce certain behaviors. For example, consider the behavior of walking. You probably think of walking as a learned behavior. But imagine trying to teach a 6-month-old to walk. You could place the infant on an Olympic-level schedule of 8 hours practice every day, but the child will not learn to walk, Wily? Because the child has not yet reached the physical maturity to perform the behaviors needed to walk.
Intellectual development occurs in much the same way. Children simply cannot display certain thinking and reasoning abilities until they reach an appropriate stage of intellectual development, no matter how much learning they may have experienced.
【1】What is most people's view on intellectual development?
A.It depends on experience and education.
B.Its process is simple and predictable.
C.It is similar to physical development.
D.It just happens naturally in life.
【2】What can we learn about physical development from the text?
A.It stops naturally, at an early age.
B.It happens through simple learning.
C.It is part of intellectual development.
D.It occurs in the process of growing up.
【3】Why is walking mentioned in paragraph 3?
A.To show behaviors can't be learned till a certain age.
B.To prove walking can be learned at any stage in our life.
C.To indicate a baby can't learn to walk without parents, help.
D.To suggest more practice can produce more learned behaviors.
【4】Where is this text most likely from?
A.A research paper.
B.A science magazine.
C.A teaching guidebook.
D.A children's newspaper.

The Woolly Monkey Mysteries: The Quest to Save a Rain Forest Species
By Sandra Markle. Ages 8 to 10.
Woolly Monkeys spend most of their time high up in 150-foot-tall trees. That makes them difficult animals to count and to study. But cameras have provided valuable information and taken, as this book shows, amazing pictures. Experts now believe that Peru’s lowland monkeys and the waste they produce are necessary to the survival of the rain forest.
Camp Panda: Helping Cubs Return to the Wild
By Catherine Thimmesh. Ages 10 to 12.
The giant panda is much-beloved in China, but in the past 40 years, at least half of its places have been destroyed. Camp Panda tells about efforts to reintroduce the giant pandas into the wild so that they might have a future. As part of the efforts, people wear panda costumes that smell like pandas while weighing and measuring the young pandas. They aren’t supposed to get used to seeing and being around people, because people could bring a threat to them in the wild.

24、 D. Mike Miles hadn’t had a stable job in years. He bounced around from temporary agency to temporary agency, never sure when his last day would be. Sometimes, he lost a job with less than a day’s notice. This was not due to a poor work ethic (职业道德) - from arriving early to staying late, Miles said he did everything he could to leave good impressions on employers in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, in the US. But because Miles had a criminal record, he was always cut loose when it was time to let staff go.
“It was like walking on eggshells. You just never knew when you’d be gone,” he said.
After his release from prison in 2007, Miles struggled to find stability – both mentally and financially. During this time, he lived in his mother’s house and she helped him raise his daughter. When his mom passed away two years later, Miles said he became more determined than ever to create a healthy environment for his family.
“I’m all she has, and she’s all I have,” he said. “I had to build a whole new relationship with my daughter, while building a whole new life for myself.”
It wasn’t until October 2015, nearly a decade after he got out of prison, that a cousin told Miles about a food company that hires people who have difficulty finding jobs.
Hoping this would clear up what felt like a thick cloud of uncertainty over his future, Miles submitted an application. He got an interview and soon after that, began his new job. His work involves everything from food production to maintenance (保存), not to mention it pays a livable wage of $15 an hour. He said it’s the best job he’s ever had.
Miles’ story is rare in Lancaster, where the poverty rate is around 30 percent – about double the national average. This figure annoyed Charlie Crystle, the co-founder and CEO of the company that gave Miles his job.
Crystle said he wanted to inspire other companies and entrepreneurs (企业家) to rethink their current practices and ignite（引发）conversations about minimum wage and employment opportunities for everyone, including ex-offenders (有犯罪前科的人).
Beyond providing employment and livable wages, the company also helps employees deal with the many challenges of reentry into society. This means anything from helping them find housing and health benefits to changing their schedules.
Miles is now saving for a house. “It doesn’t have to be a big house,” he said. “I just want to be stable.”
【1】Why did Miles change his occupation frequently?
A.He liked to try new things.
B.He never got asked to stay at jobs long as he had been in jail.
C.He was never able to find a job that he liked.
D.He is a person who is hard to please.
【2】Which is right according to the test?
A.About 15% of people all over the nation are under the poverty line.
B.The ex-offenders are always treated equally in society.
C.Miles is reluctant to do the job in the food company.
D.Miles’ mother died in 2009 because of lung cancer.
【3】What can we infer from the last three paragraphs?
A.Miles is not content with his current situation.
B.Miles cares more about a stable life than a big house.
C.The companies and entrepreneurs have agreed to increase the minimum wage level.
D.The local government will help ex-offenders find employment.
