22、What Are the Roots of Your Self-Esteem?
Self-esteem is a person's subjective assessment of his or her worth to himself or herself. Self- esteem covers various beliefs about oneself (such as 'Tm a failure" and "I'm beautiful") as well as physiological states, including sadness, joy, and shame. The more we believe that we are worthy of happiness and good things in life, the more self-fulfilled we will be. When we don't believe that we are worthy of these things, our ability to enjoy them can suffer. 【1】
Healthy self-esteem as an adult can be a gift given in your childhood. It is a blessing that most people overlook. There are so many ways adults with high self-esteem were supported as children that resulted in them having high self-esteem. For instance, they were praised for what they had achieved.
【2】They likely experienced affection and were given enough attention. It is also possible that they excelled in studies or in sports and were admired for it by peers.
【3】As children, many of these people were criticized, yelled at, or abused in one way or another. There is also a high chance that they were given no attention by the adults who were supposed to care for them. In some cases, adults with poor self-esteem were often ridiculed for their shortcomings or bullied by peers.
It is common that these adults also believe that in order to be appreciated they need to be perfect.
【4】There are people who are obsessed with their careers or hobbies because in their mind they need to tie their worthiness to something concrete. Oftentimes these people have to pretend to be something they are not just to get approval.
How you feel about yourself impacts how you live your life. People with high self-esteem tend to have better relationships than those with low self-esteem. 【5】 So if you struggle to reach out for assistance, it could be rooted in your low self-esteem.
A．There is also a good chance that they were spoken to respectfully.
B．When we start to doubt what's important in life, we tend to do less of it.
C．Since self-esteem is connected to how we perform, it is important to work on it.
D．People with poor self-esteem, on the other hand, often experienced the opposite.
E．This creates an image in their mind that without accomplishment they are worthless.
F．They face failure too, but they understand that failure or success doesn't define them.
G．High self-esteem enables you to ask for help and support from the people around you when you need it.
23、For as long as there have been gifts, we naturally make choices based on the recipient (接受者). But what if we have been wrong all along and that we could turn things around, which not only made gift buying easier, but the recipient happier?
In 2015, psychologists Lauren Human and Lara Aknin conducted an online survey, which suggested that when people buy gifts, they prefer to choose something based on the recipient’s personality and tastes. Most people also said that they preferred receiving gifts bought with them in mind: gifts for them.
But Human and Aknin wondered if this approach to giving failed to take advantage of the way we connect as people. So they sent 78 volunteers into a shopping centre before Mother’s Day. Half were told to buy a card that “reveals(揭示) your knowledge of the recipient” while the others set out to buy a card that “reveals your true self”. After the purchase, the givers who had thought partly of themselves reported feeling emotionally closer to their mothers.
To find out how that approach goes down with recipients, the psychologists did another test, asking more than 100 students to choose a song on iTunes to give to a friend, partner or family member. Each half of the group received the same instructions as the card buyers. Results revealed that recipients of songs that revealed something of the givers felt closer to them than those who received gifts bought only with them in mind.
Human and Aknin suggest it might apply to all gifts. “If building stronger social connections is the underlying (潜在的) goal” of a gift and surely it should be—then we “may well be advised to offer more self-reflective gifts”. In short, for a present to be meaningful, you need to give away a bit of yourself, even if there is a risk that the gift might not so closely suit the recipient’s practical needs or tastes as one acquired purely with that in mind.
Moreover, giving something of oneself can be a safer act, the psychologists added. Because it reduces the risk of revealing poor knowledge of a recipient by attempting to buy something that fits their character—and failing.
But a note of caution here: what the research does not examine is the potential risk in repeated, unsympathetic giver-centered giving, which, according to Human and Aknin “could signal self-obsession” —and nobody wants to reveal that about themselves.
【1】From the Mother’s Day card test, we can conclude that ________.
A．gifts chosen with the giver in mind work well on the giver
B．most people choose gifts with the recipient in mind
C．most people choose gifts based on their personal tastes
D．gifts chosen with the giver in mind work well on the recipient

【4】Which of the following is Human and Aknin’s advice on gift giving?
A．Choose gifts that reflect more of yourself.
B．Just focus on your own tastes when choosing gifts.
C．Buy something that fits the recipient’s character most.
D．Be careful not to signal your true personality.

24、 It is easy to understand the difference between some homophones(同音异形异义词). But other homophones are difficult, even for native English speakers. One set of commonly confusing homophones are the words bear and bare.
Of course, as a noun, a bear is a large, heavy animal with thick hair and sharp claws. But the word bear can also be a verb. It can mean “to accept or get through something,” usually something difficult. The verb bear is often used with the modal verb can and a negation(否定). Using this structure, “cannot bear” sometimes means “strongly dislike.” If you travel to a very cold place in the middle of winter, you might say, “I cannot bear the cold weather.” Bear can also mean “to assume or accept something, such as a cost or responsibility.” For example, “The man must bear full responsibility for his actions.” Bear can also sometimes mean “to carry.” For example, Americans often talk about the “right to bear arms” or the right of citizens to possess a gun. Sometimes, people make jokes about this expression. They replace the meaning of bear in this example with its meaning as a noun. The phrase then means that people have a right to possess a bear’s arm.
Bare is mostly used as an adjective. It means “not having a covering” or “not covered by clothing, shoes or something else.” If you just moved to a new home, the walls could still be bare. And, if you take your shoes and socks off before entering a room, you will have bare feet. As a verb, bare is similar to its adjectival meaning. To bare means “to remove the covering from something.” It can also mean “to show or expose.” For example, an angry animal might bare its teeth. The past tense of bare is bared.
【1】What’s the function of the first paragraph?
A.Introducing the homophones.
B.Analyzing the homophones.
C.Introducing the topic of the passage.
D.Telling the differences between bear and bare.
【2】How many meanings does the word bear have when it is a verb?
A.3. B.4.
C.5. D.6.
【3】What does he want to tell us if someone says he has the right to possess a bear’s arm?
A.He has the right to get an arm of a bear. B.He has the right to sell a bear’s arm.
C.He has the right to kill a bear. D.He has the right to have a gun.
【4】What might the animal decide to do when it bares its teeth?
A.It might attack a person.
B.It might show his respect for people.
C.It might want to have a covering.
D.It might remove the covering from its body.
