Passage 4  [A] Don't beat yourself up if you end up falling into the habit again. Learn to forgive yourself and try again. Know that no effort is ever wasted. With every attempt you make yourself stronger.  [B] Challenge yourself to break your destructive habits. Challenge others to challenge you to break your habits. Lack of study? Tell your mother, father, brother, sister, friend, anyone, to order you to get off your computer after 10 minutes. Gaining weight. Give half of your lunch to your coworker every day.  [C] Have an addiction to television? Turn on the television and avert your eyes and watch a shelf or a book for two hours. Not only will you gain a stronger will, but you will also "feel the strength of your addiction begin to fade.  [D] Do the act at different times or for different reasons. Do not do it when you feel like it and then do it when you just don't  feel like it. The idea is to remove the mental correlation of the act with the stimulus. The act will then always be a matter of choice based on your will and nothing else.  [E] The key is not to focus on the habit. Give it no more attention than it deserves. So don't focus constantly on fighting the urge. The urge is a very natural reaction that your body and mind are trained to. Have patience while your body unlearns it slowly.  [F] For instance, if you're lazy, be lazy about your habit. Think of it as too much effort. If you're a smoker, don't keep any packs easily available. Then you'll find it easy to be too lazy to go and get one.  Have you ever angrily stuffed the last doughnut down your throat? Have you ever failed a test in school because playing games is much more important than studying? They are all attributed to the lack of self-control. What is self-control? From the perspective of behavior research, it is a set of behaviors which: Accepts the reality that tile only thing in life which you can successfully change and control is yourself; giving you a sense of personal mastery, autonomy, and competency over your own life and so on.  If you cannot gain self-control in your life, you could: Focus all your attention on trying to control, fix, or rescue other persons, places, and things and divert your attention from your own needs.  Self-control is a control issue because it is exercising moderation in your emotional reaction to life so that you are neither over-controlled nor under-controlled in the expression of your feelings and it accepts responsibility for your own actions, feelings, thoughts, and life and gives power to yourself to accept the consequences for all of these.  The most powerful factor which undermines self-control control must be the bad habits. Bad habits act like a ubiquitous spook, when you are used to something, when you are lazy from doing something etc. And more awfully, when you've got plenty of ingrained bad habits from your years in hell, then it will be hard to figure out what they are and cutting them out of your life.  The following tips are about how to build your s self-control from breaking bad habits. By following these simple steps, one can build, strengthen, and maintain one's self-control.  (1) Act on your analysis and build self-denial first.  By this time, you have recognized that you are failing school. You have delved further into the problem and noticed that you spend much of your free time doing things other than studying or doing homework. In order to build self-control, you must practice self-denial.  (2) Not merely refrain from doing something passively.  Possess a strong will and still have self-control problems? Instead of removing the subject of your desire from your presence, deliberately challenge yourself with this subject.  (3) Try and vary the rhythm.  Rhythm is gonna get you: All habits are about rhythm. They follow a pattern of stimulus and response. The trigger could be an event, emotion, or most often just time. Break the rhythm and you'll break the habit.  (4) Use those negatives to break any annoying habit.  Use any other clashing habit or negative about yourself to combat the habit. It's easier to pick up a bad habit you can afford than fight one you can't.  (5) Don't try to quit painstakingly.  In conclusion, it would be wonderful if you could control your behavior. You'd avoid overeating, alcoholism, all bad habits, procrastination, being late, impulsive comments and purchases, sinful behavior, misplaced objects and papers, rushing at the last minute, etc. Instead, you'd have good health, a beautifully exercised body, excellent work habits, an organized life, success, good social graces, good mental health, healthy attitudes, and practically a guarantee of getting into heaven. So, strive for building self-control, though difficult.

    根据下面资料,回答题
    Human growth is a process of experimentation, trial, and error eventually leading to wisdom. Each time you choose to trust yourself and take action, you can never quite be certain how the situation will 16 .
    Sometimes you are victorious, and sometimes you become disappointed. The 17
    experiments, however, are no less valuable than the experiments that finally prove successful; in fact, you 18 learn more from your "failures" than you do from your 19 . If you have made what you think to be a mistake or failed to live up to your own 20 , you will most likely put up a barrier between your essence and the part of you that is the alleged wrong-doer.
    However, viewing past actions as 21 implies guilt and blame, and it is not possible to learn anything meaningful while you are engaged in blaming. 22 , forgiveness is required when you are severely judging yourself. Forgiveness is the act of erasing an 23 debt. There are four kinds of forgiveness.
    The first is beginner forgiveness for yourself.
    The second of forgiveness is beginner forgiveness for another.
    The third kind of forgiveness is 24 forgiveness of yourself. This is for serious misbehaviors, the ones you carry with deep 25 . When you do something that violates your own values and principles, you create a gap between your standards and your actual 26 . In such a case, you need to work very hard at 27 yourself for these deeds so that you can close this gap. This does not 28 that you should rush to forgive yourself or shouldn′t feel regret, 29 taking pleasure in these feelings for a prolonged period of time is not healthy.
    The 30 and perhaps most difficult one is the advanced forgiveness of another.
    At some time of our life, you may have been severely wronged or hurt by another person to such a degree that forgiveness seems 31 .
    However, harboring anger and revenge fantasies only keeps you 32 in victimhood. Under such a circumstance, you should force yourself to see the bigger picture. By so doing, you will be able to 33 the focus away from the anger and resentment.
    It is only through forgiveness that you can erase wrongdoing and 34 the memory. When you can 35 release the situation, you may come to see it as a necessary part of your growth.


    A.turn up
    B..turn out
    C.break out
    D.break up

    答案:B
    解析:
    考查动词短语辨析。turn up“出现,开大”,turn out“结果是,出现”,break out“(战争、火灾等)爆发”,break up“破碎,解散”。句意为“每次你选择相信自己,开始采取行动时,你绝不会知道这个情况会如何”.即你无法预知会有什么样的结果。B项符合句意。

    People who forgive show less depression,anger and stress and more hopefulness.To forgive may be divine,but no one ever said it was easy.When someone has deeply hurt you,it can be extremely difficult to let go of your grudge.But forgiveness is possible,and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health.
    "People who forgive show less depression,anger and stress and more hopefulness,"says Fredric,Ph.D,author of Forgive for Good."So it can help save on the wear and tear on our organs, reduce the wearing out of the immune system and allow people to feel more vital."
    So how do you start the healing?Try the following steps:
    Calm yourself. To defuse your anger,try a simple stress management technique."Take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure:a beautiful scene in nature,or someone you love."Frederic says.
    Don't wait for an apology. "Many times the person who hurt you has no intention of apologizing,"Frederic says."They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don't see things the same way.So if you wait for people to apologize,you could be waiting an awfully long time."Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean reconciliation with the person who upset you or condoning of his or her action.
    Take the control away from your offender. Mentally replaying your hurt gives power to the person who caused you pain."Instead of focusing on your wounded feeling,learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you,"Frederic says.
    Try to see things from the other person's perspective.If you empathize with that person,you may realize that he or she was acting out of ignorance,fear,even love.To gain perspective,you may want to write a letter to yourself from your offender's point of view.
    Recognize the benefits of forgiveness.Research has shown that people who forgive report more energy,better appetite and better sleep patterns.
    Don't forget to forgive yourself."For some people,forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge,"Frederic says."But it can rob you self-confidence if you don't do it."

    Your offender may not want to apologize because_________.
    A:they are afraid that they won't be forgiven
    B:they don't even realize they had hurt you
    C:they don't share the same feeling with you
    D:they think that time can heal any wound

    答案:C
    解析:
    推断题。第二段:"People who forgive show less depression, anger and stress and more hopefulness,"says Fredric,Ph.D.,…“So it can help save on the wear and tear on our organs, reduce the wearing out of the immune system...”宽怒他人的人较少受到抑郁、生气和压力等情绪的困扰,更为乐观一些。“因此,原谅别人有助于减少我们身体器官的损耗,降低免疫系统的疲劳程度,让人觉得更具生命力。”这两句中的depression, anger and stress都指的是 physically方面的状况,还有后句中的immune system也是如此。
    推断题。第四段中提到Calm yourself.To defuse your anger, try a simple stress management technique.让自己平静下来。想要平息你的怒气,试一个很简单的应对压力的方法。由此可知让自己平静下来其实就是一种stress management (管理压力即缓减压力)的方法。
    推断题。第五段中提到:Don't wait for an apology....They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don't see things the same way.不要等待别人的道歉。······他们也许特意要伤害你或者他们看待问题的方式和你不同。因此正确答案选C。
    推断题。第六段提到:Take the control away from your offender.Mentally replaying your hurt gives power to the person who caused you pain.不要让伤害你的人控制你。心里反复思索自己所受的伤害会让伤害你的人力量更为强大。由此可以判断出:如果你不停地提醒自己受到的伤害,那么你就会将自己置身于伤害你的人的控制之下。因此正确答案选B。
    推断题。第七段提到:Try to see things from the other person's perspective.If you empathize with that person,you may realize that he or she was acting out of ignorance,fear, even love.尽量从别人的角度看问题。如果你设身处地地从那个人的角度去理解问题,也许就意识到他/她那么做是出于无知、害怕甚至是爱。由此可知,要尽量设身处地地站在伤害你的人的立场上看问题,也就是从他们的视角看问题。因此正确答案选A。

    Knowing Your Real Personality from Sleeping Positions
    Everyone has got two personalities—the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real.You don't show your secret personality when you're awake because you can control yourself,but when you're asleep,your sleeping position shows the real you.In a normal night,of course,you often change your sleeping positions.The important position that best shows your se-cret personality is the one that you go to sleep.
    If you go to sleep on your back,you're a very open person.You nbrmally trust people and you are easily influenced by new ideas.You don't like to make people unhappy,so you never ex-press your real feelings.You're quite shy and you aren't very confident.
    If you sleep on your stomach,you are a person who likes to keep secrets.You worry a lot and you're always easily becoming sad.You never want to change your ideas,but you are satisfied with your life the way it is.You usually live for today not for tomorrow.
    If you sleep on curled up,you are probably a very nervous person.You have a low opinion of yourself and often protect yourself from being hurt,so you are very defensive.You're shy and you don't usually like meeting people.You like to be on your own.
    If you sleep on your side,you have usually got a well-balanced personality.You know your strengths and weaknesses.You're usually careful.You have a confident personality.You sometimes feel worried,but you don't often get unhappy .You always say what you think,even if it makes people angry.

Do not do it when you feel like it and then do it when you just don't  feel like it. The idea is to remove the mental correlation of the act with the stimulus. The act will then always be a matter of choice based on your will and nothing else.  [E] The key is not to focus on the habit. Give it no more attention than it deserves. So don't focus constantly on fighting the urge. The urge is a very natural reaction that your body and mind are trained to. Have patience while your body unlearns it slowly.  [F] For instance, if you're lazy, be lazy about your habit. Think of it as too much effort. If you're a smoker, don't keep any packs easily available. Then you'll find it easy to be too lazy to go and get one.  Have you ever angrily stuffed the last doughnut down your throat? Have you ever failed a test in school because playing games is much more important than studying? They are all attributed to the lack of self-control. What is self-control? From the perspective of behavior research, it is a set of behaviors which: Accepts the reality that tile only thing in life which you can successfully change and control is yourself; giving you a sense of personal mastery, autonomy, and competency over your own life and so on.  If you cannot gain self-control in your life, you could: Focus all your attention on trying to control, fix, or rescue other persons, places, and things and divert your attention from your own needs.  Self-control is a control issue because it is exercising moderation in your emotional reaction to life so that you are neither over-controlled nor under-controlled in the expression of your feelings and it accepts responsibility for your own actions, feelings, thoughts, and life and gives power to yourself to accept the consequences for all of these.  The most powerful factor which undermines self-control control must be the bad habits. Bad habits act like a ubiquitous spook, when you are used to something, when you are lazy from doing something etc. And more awfully, when you've got plenty of ingrained bad habits from your years in hell, then it will be hard to figure out what they are and cutting them out of your life.  The following tips are about how to build your s self-control from breaking bad habits. By following these simple steps, one can build, strengthen, and maintain one's self-control.  (1) Act on your analysis and build self-denial first.  By this time, you have recognized that you are failing school. You have delved further into the problem and noticed that you spend much of your free time doing things other than studying or doing homework. In order to build self-control, you must practice self-denial.  (2) Not merely refrain from doing something passively.  Possess a strong will and still have self-control problems? Instead of removing the subject of your desire from your presence, deliberately challenge yourself with this subject.  (3) Try and vary the rhythm.  Rhythm is gonna get you: All habits are about rhythm. They follow a pattern of stimulus and response. The trigger could be an event, emotion, or most often just time. Break the rhythm and you'll break the habit.  (4) Use those negatives to break any annoying habit.  Use any other clashing habit or negative about yourself to combat the habit. It's easier to pick up a bad habit you can afford than fight one you can't.  (5) Don't try to quit painstakingly.  In conclusion, it would be wonderful if you could control your behavior. You'd avoid overeating, alcoholism, all bad habits, procrastination, being late, impulsive comments and purchases, sinful behavior, misplaced objects and papers, rushing at the last minute, etc. Instead, you'd have good health, a beautifully exercised body, excellent work habits, an organized life, success, good social graces, good mental health, healthy attitudes, and practically a guarantee of getting into heaven. So, strive for building self-control, though difficult.

    正确答案: 1.B 第一点陈述的是要严格要求自己,首先要严格分析自己的错误并建立自我否定。选项B进一步说明如何在实践中建立自我否定。
    2.C 第二点阐述的是要积极面对自己的坏习惯,强调不应该仅仅消极地去克制坏习惯。C选项举出看电视的例子来说明这一点,注意正文中的提示性词语“deliberately challenge”。
    3.D 第三点阐述的是改变节奏来改变习惯。D选项便是进一步说明如何改变节奏。
    4.F 这一点阐述了用一些消极性的坏习惯去消除另一些更恼人的坏习惯的技巧。F举例子来说明如何用懒惰这一坏习惯去抑制抽烟这一恶习。
    5.E 第五点是阐述戒除坏习惯不能太刻意。E进一步阐述了不要将过多的精力投入到消除坏习惯本身,注意[E]选项中的提示词语。F选项有迷惑性,虽然它提到了用懒惰的方式去戒烟,但侧重的是用一个坏习惯去消除另一个坏习惯。选项A.阐述的是不能因为戒除失败便责怪自己,是对戒除失败后的鼓励,角度不同。

    People who forgive show less depression,anger and stress and more hopefulness.To forgive may be divine,but no one ever said it was easy.When someone has deeply hurt you,it can be extremely difficult to let go of your grudge.But forgiveness is possible,and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health.
    "People who forgive show less depression,anger and stress and more hopefulness,"says Fredric,Ph.D,author of Forgive for Good."So it can help save on the wear and tear on our organs, reduce the wearing out of the immune system and allow people to feel more vital."
    So how do you start the healing?Try the following steps:
    Calm yourself. To defuse your anger,try a simple stress management technique."Take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure:a beautiful scene in nature,or someone you love."Frederic says.
    Don't wait for an apology. "Many times the person who hurt you has no intention of apologizing,"Frederic says."They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don't see things the same way.So if you wait for people to apologize,you could be waiting an awfully long time."Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean reconciliation with the person who upset you or condoning of his or her action.
    Take the control away from your offender. Mentally replaying your hurt gives power to the person who caused you pain."Instead of focusing on your wounded feeling,learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you,"Frederic says.
    Try to see things from the other person's perspective.If you empathize with that person,you may realize that he or she was acting out of ignorance,fear,even love.To gain perspective,you may want to write a letter to yourself from your offender's point of view.
    Recognize the benefits of forgiveness.Research has shown that people who forgive report more energy,better appetite and better sleep patterns.
    Don't forget to forgive yourself."For some people,forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge,"Frederic says."But it can rob you self-confidence if you don't do it."

    You will still be under the control of the offender if__________.
    A:the offender refuses to reconcile with you
    B:you keep reminding yourself of the pain
    C:the offender never feels sorry to you
    D:you don't find love,beauty or kindness

    答案:B
    解析:
    推断题。第二段:"People who forgive show less depression, anger and stress and more hopefulness,"says Fredric,Ph.D.,…“So it can help save on the wear and tear on our organs, reduce the wearing out of the immune system...”宽怒他人的人较少受到抑郁、生气和压力等情绪的困扰,更为乐观一些。“因此,原谅别人有助于减少我们身体器官的损耗,降低免疫系统的疲劳程度,让人觉得更具生命力。”这两句中的depression, anger and stress都指的是 physically方面的状况,还有后句中的immune system也是如此。
    推断题。第四段中提到Calm yourself.To defuse your anger, try a simple stress management technique.让自己平静下来。想要平息你的怒气,试一个很简单的应对压力的方法。由此可知让自己平静下来其实就是一种stress management (管理压力即缓减压力)的方法。
    推断题。第五段中提到:Don't wait for an apology....They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don't see things the same way.不要等待别人的道歉。······他们也许特意要伤害你或者他们看待问题的方式和你不同。因此正确答案选C。
    推断题。第六段提到:Take the control away from your offender.Mentally replaying your hurt gives power to the person who caused you pain.不要让伤害你的人控制你。心里反复思索自己所受的伤害会让伤害你的人力量更为强大。由此可以判断出:如果你不停地提醒自己受到的伤害,那么你就会将自己置身于伤害你的人的控制之下。因此正确答案选B。
    推断题。第七段提到:Try to see things from the other person's perspective.If you empathize with that person,you may realize that he or she was acting out of ignorance,fear, even love.尽量从别人的角度看问题。如果你设身处地地从那个人的角度去理解问题,也许就意识到他/她那么做是出于无知、害怕甚至是爱。由此可知,要尽量设身处地地站在伤害你的人的立场上看问题,也就是从他们的视角看问题。因此正确答案选A。

    Knowing Your Real Personality from Sleeping Positions
    Everyone has got two personalities—the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real.You don't show your secret personality when you're awake because you can control yourself,but when you're asleep,your sleeping position shows the real you.In a normal night,of course,you often change your sleeping positions.The important position that best shows your se-cret personality is the one that you go to sleep.
    If you go to sleep on your back,you're a very open person.You nbrmally trust people and you are easily influenced by new ideas.You don't like to make people unhappy,so you never ex-press your real feelings.You're quite shy and you aren't very confident.
    If you sleep on your stomach,you are a person who likes to keep secrets.You worry a lot and you're always easily becoming sad.You never want to change your ideas,but you are satisfied with your life the way it is.You usually live for today not for tomorrow.
    If you sleep on curled up,you are probably a very nervous person.You have a low opinion of yourself and often protect yourself from being hurt,so you are very defensive.You're shy and you don't usually like meeting people.You like to be on your own.
    If you sleep on your side,you have usually got a well-balanced personality.You know your strengths and weaknesses.You're usually careful.You have a confident personality.You sometimes feel worried,but you don't often get unhappy .You always say what you think,even if it makes people angry.

    You may find the passage in ______.
    A: a science magazine
    B: a guide book
    C: a sports newspaper
    D: a story book

    答案:A
    解析:
    整篇文章介绍的是人物的性格特征,外在的和内在的,说明和科学有关。
    跟据文章第一段中“The important position that best shows your secret personality is the one that you go to sleep.”可知应该是开始睡的时候。
    由文章第三段中的“If you sleep on your stomach, you are a person who likes to keep secrets.”可知。
    从文章第四段中“You have a low opinion of yourself and often protect yourself from being hurt,”可知,保护自己不受到伤害,那么defensive意为“有戒心的”。
    由文章中的第二段到第五段可知。
