三、阅读单选

Did you know that vocabulary is more important than grammar? If you have good vocabulary, you can communicate successfully, even if the grammar is not completely perfect.

However, one common problem is learning new words and then forgetting them. So when you want to use a new word in a conversation, you can’t remember it at that moment. Does this often happen to you? The reason for this difficulty is that most students try to learn vocabulary by studying lists and dictionaries and remembering the words. But it may not work if you don't have a very good memory.

The best way to learn vocabulary and remember the words successfully is to learn new words and use them at once. You can do this with a very simple exercise. Every time you learn a new word, for example, from an English lesson or an article, write it down in your vocabulary notebook. Writing is more active than just reading a definition.

You should write the word, the definition in English or translation, one example sentence from the article or dictionary and one example sentence that you create.

Imagine you just learn the word “generous”. Write in your vocabulary notebook: generous (adjective), definition—giving or willing to give freely. Example one, from the article: Thanks for paying for my dinner. You ’re very generous. Example two, my example: My brother is generous because he volunteers at the animal shelter on weekends. It’s best if your example sentences are true to your life, because this creates a personal connection with the mew word. The next day, read your vocabulary notebook again and try to add one more example sentence using the new word. It’s helpful for you to remember it. These two simple steps—writing the word and using it at once—help you remember and use new words.

Do you have a vocabulary notebook? If not, start now.

All through grade school, I got extra help with schoolwork. If I got a D, I was very happy. If I got a C-minus (C-), I had achieved greatness. A’s and B’s were a kingdom I could never enter.

Once my teacher, Miss Mills, had given me a list of ten spelling words. My mother and I went over the list until I knew those words. I felt great. I thought, “Wow! This time, I’m going to pass.” The next day, I went into the classroom and began to write down the words. The first word was carpet. I wrote that one down: c-a-r-p-e-t. I was feeling pretty confident. Then came neighbor — I wrote down the letter n. Then rhythm — I knew there was an r. Suburban — I wrote s-u-b. My confidence failed me. I had gone from 100 percent to maybe a D-minus. Where did the words go?

Some people talk about information sliding off your brain. That was my life. I was an underachiever (未能充分发挥学习潜力者).

Now I know I have dyslexia (诵读困难症). A person with dyslexia might see the as teh, and bird as brid. My brain learns differently. A learning disability can really change the way you feel about yourself. Now I know that even if I learn differently, I can still be filled with greatness.

Today when I visit schools as an actor, director, and co-author of children’s books, I tell children that everyone has something special inside. It’s our job to find out what that is and get it out, and give it to the world as a gift.

“I wish I had straight hair”, “I’d like to be taller”. At times, we all want to look a bit more like someone else. However, the pictures we see on TV and social media can give us improper ideas about how our bodies “should” look. The truth is that everybody is different—and that’s a good thing. Accepting and feeling good about our bodies is really important for our self-confidence.

Body confidence is when someone accepts and behaves kindly towards their body. That includes our size and shape, skin color, appearance and any physical disabilities. Jade Parnell from the Centre for Appearance Research (CAR), says that having body confidence is “about being accepting of your body and what it does for you”.

If you feel positive about your body, you are more likely to take care of it. Research has even shown that you are more likely to take part in activities and perform well in school. However, feeling agitated about your body could make you step back, do less well at school and even feel down. Parnell says that the cost of trying to achieve the “perfect” appearance is high. She says, “If you’re spending a lot of time trying to look a certain way, you will have less time to spend with friends and to make important memories.”

It’s important to remember that everybody is different. To develop a positive body image, Parnell says, “Try to talk positively about your own body and other people’s bodies. Try not to pay too much attention to appearance. Instead, think about what your body does for you: ‘Do your legs make you run really fast?’” She also suggests treating your body well by eating different kinds of foods, exercising to feel good and to have fun, and getting plenty of sleep.

Remember that you are more than how you look.

31．What does the writer think of the pictures on TV and social media?

A．They are perfect for people to follow.

B．They may spread wrong ideas of looks.

C．They suggest that everyone is different.

D．They show people how to behave kindly.

32．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A．Body confidence means feeling perfect about your body.

B．Having body confidence helps do a better job at activities in school.

C．If you are positive about your body, you will accept it and never take care of it.

D．Trying to look a certain way costs a lot of money.

33．What does the underlined word “agitated” probably means?

A．scared. B．serious. C．careless. D．worried.

34．Which of the following statement will Parnell probably agree?

A．Accept your body as it is.

B．Avoid talking about others’ bodies.

C．Spend some money on your appearance.

D．Set a goal to improve your body.

35．What is the main purpose of the passage?

A．To encourage readers to take care of their body.

B．To remind readers not to eat too much food.

C．To lead readers to build up body confidence.

D．To advise readers to be different.

Learning to Manage Our Own Lives

These days, we Chinese teenagers often depend on our parents in our daily lives. In my daily life, I have a poor sense of time, and sometimes I am lazy. I can’t arrange my time properly. I often finish my homework late. I can’t cook by myself. If my parents are not at home, I can only buy food. I can’t wash dirty clothes. So no matter what I do in the future, I will make a plan and complete it in strict accordance with the plan. At the same time, take the initiative to help others do something. Let’s improve our self-management ability in life together!

In short, the earlier we manage our own lives, the better it is for our future.
