V.阅读理解
What we think about ourselves shows up in the things we say and do. We may even misinterpret the words and actions of others because of the view we hold of ourselves. It’s important to see ourselves in the most positive light that we can. Seeing the good in ourselves helps us to do better，to be better.
We all have days when almost everything about our lives looks gray. On those days，it’s easy to feel bad about ourselves. Looking on the bright side of things can help us transform tough times：“Having a difficult time in one subject doesn’t mean that I’m not a good student.”
The good news is that psychologists tell us that we are hurt less by the misfortunes of life than we are by how we see them. And this is never truer than when applied to how we see ourselves. Not only do we have the choice to paint the events and situations in our lives in the color that we choose，but we also have the choice to paint ourselves in the color we choose. In other words，you get to choose whether the cup is half-full or half-empty when it comes to how you see yourself!
Many teens we heard from also know how important it is to cast a positive vote when it comes to their own self-worth，saying that self-esteem and actions went hand in hand. From becoming a better athlete to getting better grades，from being a friend to attracting better friends，from getting along with your parents to being granted more privileges，self-esteem plays a big role.
1. In the writer’s view，why may we misunderstand others?
A. Because we can’t put ourselves in others’ positions.
B. Owing to the ways in which we think of ourselves.
C. Due to the fact that we ourselves have a bad time.
D. Because it is hard to put ourselves in others’ shoes.
2. What should we do if we are suffering a hard time?
A. Focus more attention on our studies.
B. Speak out the bitters and pains openly.
C. Spare some time to see a psychologist.
D. Regard the things around us positively.
3. What does the underlined word“them”in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Psychologists.
B. Misfortunes.
C. Attitudes.
D. Achievements.
4. Which can be the best title of the passage?
A. It really counts how we see ourselves
B. Life is always filled with pains and sorrows
C. We need to think big to become a success
D. Forget those unchangeable life realities

【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。

作者认为我们对自己的看法和态度影响着我们的行为判断和选择。

尤其是面对生活中的不幸时，我们要从积极的方面认识自我。

1. B细节理解题。

根据第一段中的“We may even misinterpret the words and actions of others because of the view we hold of ourselves.”可知，因为我们对自己的看法，我们可能会误解别人的话或者行为。

B选项与此句构成同义转述。

2. D细节理解题。

根据第二段中的“We all have days when almost everything about our lives looks gray. ”和“Looking on the bright side of things can help us transform tough times...”可知，我们所有人都会经历生活中的不幸，但是看到事情积极的一面能让我们度过困难时期。

据此可以推断当身处逆境时，我们应该积极地看待我们身边的事物。

3. B代词指代题。

根据第三段第一句“...we are hurt less by the misfortunes of life than we are by how we see them.”可知，我们从生活中的不幸受到的伤害少于我们对不幸的看法给我们造成的伤害。

句中的代词“them”代指的是“不幸”。
