22、If anyone had told me three years ago that I would be spending most of my weekends camping, I would have laughed heartily. Campers, in my eyes, were people who enjoyed insect bites, ill-cooked meals, and uncomfortable sleeping bags. They had nothing in common with me. 【1】
The friends who introduced me to camping thought that it meant to be a pioneer. 【2】 We slept in a tent, cooked over an open fire, and walked a long distance to take the shower and use the bathroom. This brief visit with Mother Nature cost me two days off from work, recovering from a bad case of sunburn and the doctor’s bill for my son’s food poisoning.
I was, nevertheless, talked into going on another fun-filled holiday in the wilderness. 【3】 Instead, we had a pop-up camper with comfortable beds and an air conditioner. My nature-loving friends had remembered to bring all the necessities of life.
【4】 We have done a lot of it since. Recently, we bought a twenty-eight-foot travel trailer complete with a bathroom and a built-in TV set. There is a separate bedroom, a modern kitchen with a refrigerator. The trailer even has matching carpet and curtains.
【5】 It must be true that sooner or later, everyone finds his or her way back to nature. I recommend that you find your way in style.
A.This time there was no tent.
B.Things are going to be improved.
C.The trip they took me on was a rough one.

G.There was no shade as the trees were no more than 3 feet tall.

24、Self-esteem (自尊) is the opinion we have of ourselves. When we have healthy self-esteem, we tend to feel positive about ourselves and life. If we have low self-esteem, we may feel anxious and look down on ourselves.
Low self-esteem often begins in childhood. Our teachers, friends and parents send us positive and negative messages about ourselves. 【1】. Besides, stress and difficult life events can have a negative effect on self-esteem. Personality can play a part, too. Some people are just more likely to have negative thinking.
【2】. If you have low self-esteem, you may hide yourself away from social situations, stop trying new things, and avoid things you find challenging. In the long term, this can backfire because it makes your doubts and fears stronger. You may also develop unhelpful habits, such as smoking and drinking too much.
To improve your self-esteem, you need to identify the negative beliefs you have about yourself, and then challenge them. 【3】. Note these thoughts. Next, start to write some evidence that challenges these negative beliefs, such as “I’m really good at crosswords” or “My sister calls for a chat every week”. You could also write down other positive things about yourself on the list and add them to the list regularly. Then put your list where you can see it. 【4】.
You can also learn to be assertive to improve your self-esteem. One trick is to look at other people who act assertively and copy what they do. 【5】. It’s picking up tips from people you admire and letting your true self come out.
A.Low self-esteem affects people negatively
B.It’s not about pretending you’re someone else
C.That way, you can keep reminding yourself that you’re OK
D.Those beliefs come from negative messages you once received
E.People with low self-esteem have their unique way of dealing with the problem
F.For some reason, those meaning that you’re not good enough often stay with you
G.You may think you’re too stupid to get a new job or that nobody cares about you
