Self-esteem is an abstract concept, which refers to people’s beliefs about their own worth and value. American psychologist Abraham Maslow thought self-esteem was a basic human need and included self-esteem in his hierarchy of human needs. He described two different forms of “esteem”: the need for respect from others in the form of recognition, success, and admiration, and the need for self-respect in the form of self-love, self-confidence, and skill. Respect from others was believed to be more fragile and easily lost than inner self-esteem. According to Maslow, without the fulfillment of the self-esteem need, individuals will be driven to seek it and unable to grow and obtain self-realization.
Basically, high self-esteem is achieved through a series of real accomplishments, which is good for people. However, the excessive high self-esteem, based more on a sense of entitlement than on any accomplishment, is considered to be less psychologically healthy. And just as self-esteem can be too high, it can also be “under-inflated”. Those having poor self-esteem do have a basis for feeling good about themselves but they may not recognize their accomplishments and actions as meaningful.
To appreciate what it would be like to have high self-esteem, one can consider how they may feel about things in their lives that they value. For instance, some people really like cars. They take good care of their cars. They may even decorate the car and then show it off to other people with pride. Similarly, people with high self-esteem love, care for and feel proud of themselves. Take children for example. When they have high self-esteem, they believe they are valuable and important. They enjoy different activities and can handle criticism easily without taking it personally.
People need to develop positive self-esteem. This can convince them they deserve happiness. Besides, the development of positive self-esteem increases the capacity to treat other people with respect, thus favoring a variety of interpersonal relationships and avoiding destructive ones.
4. What can we infer from Abraham Maslow’s theory about self-esteem?
A. Self-esteem ensures us a successful life.
B. Self-esteem is essential to self-realization.
C. Self-esteem means little to psychological health.
D. Others’ respect is more important than self-respect.
5. What does the underlined word “under-inflated” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Adequate.
B. Insufficient.
C. Moderate.
D. Lifelong.
6. How does the author explain the feelings of having high self-esteem?
A. By giving examples.
B. By analyzing causes.
C. By providing figures.
D. By making contrasts.
7. Which of the following does the author support?
A. Self-esteem ultimately leads to happiness.
B. Self-esteem earns you respect from others.
C. Positive self-esteem benefits people’s social lives.
D. Positive self-esteem helps people out of difficulties.

Last year I was the exchange student in the UK, and attended one of the Chinese culture course there. When I walked into the classroom, I was welcomed by curiously faces. They gave me presents, which moved and excited me. The lesson was about an ancient Chinese calligraphy naming xiao zhuan. The teacher explained it origin, how it worked in society, why it was promoted nationwide. After class, I felt proud of our Chinese culture but ashamed of that I knew almost nothing about them. As a senior high school student, I am going to read so many books as I can to open my mind. I hope every Chinese would understand the importance of learning about our own culture.

"Breakfast time!" I quickly put on my clothes and rushed down the stairs.
"Come on, we don't want to be late!" My mom said. The aroma (香味) of pancakes filled the kitchen, making the room warm. I looked out of the window. The sun was out，making a warm and bright morning.
"Today's the day, zip lining (高空滑索)!" My dad said, sounding very enthusiastic early this morning.
Today we would go zip lining. The excitement built up inside of me as breakfast went on. After breakfast, we set out in my dad's car. Half way through the ride, the sun grew hot, and the leather on the seats burned my legs. I thought about the trip, how my parents went but not me. It was my first time experiencing something like this. I also thought about my fear of heights, one thing I tried to get rid of multiple times. It got in the way of so many fun activities like roller coaster at Kings Island.
We were basically there by now, the sun still blazing hot. We pulled up to a big sign where our instructor waited for us.
"Hi y'all!" said our instructor cheerfully.
"So, have y'all done this before?"
My parents nodded but I shook my head. Our instructor went over safety instructions while we each put on a safety harness (安全带). I started to get nervous. A never ending roller coaster of excitement and anxiousness built inside of me when I looked down the cliff. My heart skipped a beat when the wind howled, blowing leaves and twigs in the trees. My legs started to shake.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

"Alright y'all, time to hit the trails!" said the instructor with too much enthusiasm.
