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.

23、24 years ago Jim Ritter was a typical, active high school student. At age sixteen his life changed forever, when Jim was working at his father’s logging business in the small town of Montesano, Washington. One Friday, his dad woke him at 4:30 am to work. Having finished the morning work, Jim crawled into the grapple (吊车) for an after-lunch nap. It was then that Jim’s father started the engines, not realizing that his son lay inside, asleep.
“Oh my God!” Jim’s father cried out. “I broke his neck!”
Immediately, Jim’s dad called for help on the C.B radio. A logging company helicopter heard the call for help and picked Jim up, taking him to the hospital in Olympia, sixty-five miles away. It was truly a miracle! His father’s logging business was in the middle of nowhere, and helicopters hardly ever flew around there. After surgery, Jim was left paralyzed from the neck down. Nine weeks later, he was moved to an orthopedic (矫形的) hospital in Seattle where he became an inspiration to the nurses and other patients with his optimism and good sense of humor.
One day a volunteer came by Jim’s room and asked if he would like to try painting pictures. “I can’t,” Jim told her. “I’m paralyzed.” However, having been shown a video in which a paralyzed girl was drawing by holding a pen between her teeth, Jim decided to give it a try: If that girl could do it, so could he!
It was awkward and difficult at first. Jim practiced day after day, and gradually his drawings turned from amateur sketches into beautiful scenes. Prior to the accident, Jim had never drawn.
Today, Jim lets nothing stand in his way. He is able to support himself by holding art shows throughout the country. How easy it is to justify giving up on our dreams with a ready excuse. “It’s too difficult.” “I’m not that smart.” “I don’t have time.” Jim Ritter is living proof that no excuse is good enough.
【1】What do we know about Jim on that particular Friday when he was sixteen?
A．He overslept.
B．He got crushed.
C．He operated the machine wrongly.
D．He worked the whole day.
【2】What do the underlined words “in the middle of nowhere” probably mean?
A．Close to shut-down.
B．Far away from the airport.
C．In a remote place.
D．In the process of operation.
【3】What eventually made Jim turn to painting in the hospital?
A．His previous experience in art.
B．The volunteer’s encouragement.
C．A paralyzed girl’s amazing works.
D．The drawing scene of a paralyzed girl.
【4】What’s the passage mainly about?
A．A man’s recovery from an accident.
B．A man’s rising from adversity.
C．People’s care for the disabled.
D．A paralyzed girl’s inspiring story.
24、Is it necessary to learn when we are 50s, 60s or even 70s?Most people consider when they get retired, they are supposed to be completely laidback, do something fun, or hang around.【1】 It’s particularly important to the elderly.
Through learning, we know how to think, how to memorize, how to ask questions and even how to interact with others. According to a study, while we are learning, “the brain creates neural(神经)pathways” that make us smarter. 【2】 The more we learn, the mote new neural pathways develop in our brains.
When it comes to learning, it doesn’t mean we must load ourselves with lots of knowledge. What we need to do is just learn something we like day in and day out. 【3】 Everyone learns from bottom to up. If we have an interest to learn, that desire will naturally push us to move forward.
As we feel worn out from learning, don’t be discouraged.【4】 An old saying goes, “Birds of a feather fly together.” As long as we have partners to learn all together, our learning excitement will come alive again. On the contrary, if we don’t learn, and choose to distance ourselves from other, we might be getting dumb, and slow; eventually, we lose energy, and life passion. Instead of being bored, dumb, why don’t we keep learning?
【5】 More importantly, learning explores our life horizon, helps us build up our confidence; gradually, it leads us to a way of finding a sense of value and ach.
A．It’s never too old to learn.
B．Don’t worry if we cannot learn well.
C．You should set a high learning target.
D．Learning makes us understand how potential we are.
E．Look for a partner who has the same common interest as you do.

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。
Zack joined our family two years ago. The first time I saw him in a caring center, he was sitting in a corner, lonely and nervous. When I got closer, he tried to avoid eye contact and forced a smile. I could read his struggles in his eyes. Indeed, Zack was different. He was a kid with inborn disorder that made it difficult to manage his anxiety. I gently put my arms around him. Unexpectedly, he responded by giving me a tighter hug. My heart melt. I couldn’t wait to drive Zack home immediately the adoption paper was done.
The life with us was new to Zack. Terrified of insects and always on alert(警戒的) for a storm rolling in, he remained housebound. One March afternoon, we held a family barbecue. Despite my best effort, Zack wouldn’t leave the house. I brought him a plate of food and he watched us from the window. I was upset that he couldn’t enjoy a few minutes of peace in the spring sun.
Anyway, Zack was a joy around, and we tried to meet all his special needs. We were worried that Zack was delayed at schoolwork and needed to attend a speech and language camp, but he refused to go.I begged, and finally bartered(交换).
“I’ll do it for a pet chicken,” he decided.
That’s when Valor, a hen with soft feathers, entered our lives in May. John, my husband, named her Valor, which meant “courage” in ancient English.
No one had expected how the chicken would make a difference, but it did. Once Valor arrived, Zack slowly began stepping out in order to be with her. In turn, we repaid her with treats of tomatoes and sunflower seeds. For some unknown reasons, Valor offered Zack peace and comfort and was content to keep him company wherever he went. To our excitement, Zack talked more and smiled often. He even turned to us with questions about raising pets, making John and me thrilled.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右;
