I didn't want to do anything that resembled responsible behavior. It was that kind of day.（承上总结句）②As I drank my morning tea, I thought I felt a headache coming on. Yes, there it was, a dull throb just behind my eyes. Maybe I should go back to bed until it subsided. As I put the dishes in the sink, it seemed that my muscles were beginning to ache.

I absolutely should be in bed.③I shuffled back to bed, wiggled under the covers and shut my eyes.(1)Another couple of hours of sleep would be so nice, but I was already completely awake.

(2)My family was resourceful enough toscrounge clothing for the next day.⑥Maybe I wasn't actually getting the flu. I didn't really want to be sick. To be truthful, all I wanted was a little time off. (3)I needed to nurture myself away from people, chores, career and the outside world. Did I have to wait to be sick to do that? As a child, the only respite from school or family chores was illness. But I wasn't a child any more. (4)Did I have to manufacture symptoms to provide myself with an excuse? No, I decided, I didn't.本部分重点及难点：2.

READING COMPREHENSIONRead the two passages and choose the most likely answer to each of the questions. Write the letter corresponding to your choice on the answer sheet. (2 points each, 20 points in all)Passage 1A person may have an idea about himself that will prevent him from doing good work. He may believe that he is not capable of accomplishing something even though there is no reason for it. A child may think he is stupid because he does not understand how to make use of the most of his mental abilities, or he may accept another person's mistaken estimate of his ability. People advanced in years may be handicapped by the mistaken belief that they are incapable of learning anything new because of their age.A person who believes that he is incapable will not make a real effort, because he feels that it would be futile. He won't go at a job (尽全力工作) with the confidence necessary for success, and he won't work hard, even though he may think he is doing so. He is, therefore, likely to fail, and the failure will strengthen his belief in his incompetence.Alfred Adler, a famous psychiatrist (精神病医生) , had an experience that illustrates this. When he was a small boy he got off to a poor start in arithmetic (算术) . His teacher got the idea that he had no ability in arithmetic, and told his parents what she thought so that they would not expect too much of him. In this way, they, too, developed the idea, "Isn't it too bad that Alfred can't do arithmetic?" He accepted their mistaken estimate of his ability, felt that it was useless to try, and ended up very poor at arithmetic, just as was expected.One day, however, he became very angry at the teacher and other students because they laughed when he said he knew how to do a problem, which none of the other students had been able to work out.Alfred succeeded in solving the problem. This gave him confidence. He rejected the idea that he couldn't do arithmetic and was determined to show others that he could. His anger and his newly found confidence stimulated him to be at arithmetic problems with a new vigor. He worked with interest, determination, and purpose. Before long he became extraordinarily good at arithmetic. He not only proved that he could do arithmetic, but he learned early in life from his own experience that if a person goes at a job with all his heart he may astonish himself as well as others with his ability.This experience made him realize that many people have more ability than they think they have. Lack of success is as often the result of lack of knowledge of how to apply one's ability, lack of confidence, and lack of determination as it is the result of lack of ability.41. The word "futile" in Paragraph 2 probably means________.A. unnecessaryB. uselessC. unimportantD. aimless42. Both Alfred's teacher and his parents thought Alfred________.A. had no confidence in himselfB. was lazy in studyC. had no interest in arithmeticD. was slow in arithmetic43. Why did Alfred become angry one day?A. Because he couldn't work out the arithmetic problem.B. Because the teacher didn't show him the arithmetic problem.C. Because he was challenged to solve a difficult arithmetic problem.D. Because no one believed that he could solve the arithmetic problem.44. According to the passage, a person is likely to fail if________.A. he doesn't work hardB. he is too old to learn anythingC. he doesn't have enough knowledgeD. he has accepted a mistaken belief of his ability45. What does Alfred Adler's story tell us?A. Our failures are often caused by our lack of ability.B. Arithmetic is actually not as hard as it seems to be.C. Some teachers expect too much from their students.D. Our self-judgement may have a negative effect on our success.Passage 2When the French Institute in Haiti (海地) asked me to speak on a subject of my own choice, I picked heroism. It's a subject I know well. I've read many books about it.I spoke of some well-known heroes. I suggested that I was something of a hero myself. Then I told how the hero, in the face of danger, discovers all the great, lasting values of life.When I left the platform, a gentleman came to me. "Great lecture," he said. "I'm Doctor Bonbon. I've been asked to make your stay here as pleasant as possible. Would you like to go hunting sharks with me? Y ou seem to enjoy facin danger."I accepted gladly. I saw myself struggling with a huge fish on my rod ...I was to speak again the next afternoon. So we agreed to start early in the morning."By the way," the doctor said as we set out, "you shou ld try out your coucteau.”"My... what？""Y our snorkel (潜水呼吸管) . Y ou need to breathe. I'll show you how to work the underwater gun too. What's the matter? Something wrong?"I had to sit down. I tried to tell myself it wasn't so. But there was no doubt about it. I wasn't to fish with a rod. I was to go right down into the water. I opened my mouth to protest ..."Y ou know," the doctor said, "I can't tell you how much we all enjoyed your lecture on courage."I said nothing. There are times when you have to protect your means of earning a living. I was known as a good speaker. If I had to be eaten by sharks to keep my reputation, I was ready. I put on my mask."Now put on the lead belt. It will get you down there instantly," the doctor said. "They'll go down with you." He pointed to the four big men on board.Bodyguards, I thought with relief."They're the beaters (轰赶猎物的人) ," the doctor said. "They'll go ahead and drive the sharks toward you. Then all you have to do is shoot." I didn't have the courage to object. They helped me over the side.At the bottom the first thing I saw was a big fish. I screamed.I can't quite remember what followed. All I know is that, contrary to what I had said in my lecture, in the face of danger the hero does not discover the great values of life. At last I opened my eyes again. The big fish was gone.I tried to retum to the surface. Then I saw a huge form above my head. I seized my gun. I closed my eyes and pressed the trigger.The gun was torn from me.In seconds I was at the surface. Luckily, the boat was near. I was on board in an instant."Where's your gun?" asked the doctor.I explained that I had hit a shark. The beast had torn the weapon from my hands.The four big men were climbing back into the boat now. One of them had my gun. He spoke to the doctor in his native language."It seems," the doctor said to me, "that you shot at the hull of the boat."He was trying to suggest that I had mistaken the boat passing over my head for a shark. The very idea!When I stepped to the platform that afternoon, Doctor Bonbon was sitting in the front row. But I didn't let his mockingstare disturb me. I was determined to rise once more to the level of my subject."Ladies and gentlemen," I began, "when the hero finds himself facing danger, the first thing he discovers ..."46. When he was told that he was to go down into the water, the writer had to sit down probably because ________ .A. he could not control his shaking legsB. he wanted to have a better look at the waterC. he wanted to get ready for the underwater adventureD. he could not help asking Doctor Bonbon some questions47. What happened under the water?A. He shot at a shark.B. He shot at the boat.C. He was attacked by a shark.D. His gun was torn away by a shark.48. In the sentence "But I didn't let his mocking stare disturb me." the word "mocking" could be replaced by ________ .A. amusingB. sneeringC. concerningD. encouraging49.

E.g. The task proved (to be) impossible.E.g. They seem (to be) such friendly people, but they never replied toour invitation.注意：在 seem, appear等词后，可加其他非to be 不定式，但这时他们不是系动词，而是不及物动词。

22. I was going to gamble on their inspection ending there， before they dug deeper to my diaries.—— The success of my plan would depend on their stopping the inspection when they saw the stamped broadcast scripts and not going further to find what was beneath the scripts. But this was a great risk to take.我要把宝押在他们的检查到此为⽌上，⽽不再往下翻到我的⽇记。
gamble on sth./ doing sth.：希望成功⽽冒着失败的危险做……，压赌注 eg： You shouldn't gamble on one exams. 你不应该把命运压在⼀次考试上。
eg： He called for another vote， gambling on getting more support. 他要求再举⾏⼀次投票，冒着失败的危险寻求更多⼈的⽀持。
eg： You shouldn't gamble on the supply of spare parts arriving promptly. 你可不能把赌注全押在零件能⽴即到位这⼀点上。
在这个句型中，gamble后⾯的动名词表⽰的是主语的⾏为（如getting more support），如果不是就需要在动名词的前⾯加上⼀个名词短语作其逻辑主语， 如their inspection和 the supply of spare parts.它们的⾏为分别是 ending和 arriving. 23. The feared Gestapo， I knew， was really not very efficient. It was true that the Gestapo were much feared. But they were not as competent as they were thought to be.我知道那些令⼈畏惧的盖世太保并⾮真的很能⼲。

英语（二）自学教程UNIT12Unit 12A Break from LifeText APre-reading Questions1.Do you find it difficult to enjoy a break from life? What are some of the difficulties you have?2.What tips would you give to those who are fully occupied with their schedule and have little time feeling free?Feeling FreeI woke up feeling cranky. I didn`t want to do housework, though the laundry was piling up. I didn`t want to read the work I brought home from the office. I didn`t want to do anything that resembled responsible behavior. It was that kind of day.As I drank my morning tea, I thought I felt a headache coming on. Yes, there it was, a dull throb just behind my eyes. Maybe I should go back to bed until it subsided. As I put the dishes in the sink, it seemed that my muscles were beginning to ache. Or was the ache in my joints? That could mean I was coming down with the flu. Everyone I knew had the flu this year. Why should I be the one to escape it? I absolutely should be in bed.I shuffled back to bed, wiggled under the covers and shut my eyes. Another couple of hours of sleep would be so nice, but I was already completely awake. I ought to get up. But no, there was that headache and the beginning of a sniffle. Better get the tissues.On my way back from the bathroom with a family-sized tissue box, I stopped to grab that big new novel I had bought but had no time to read.I opened the book and settle against the pillows.The morning was moving along and so was my reading. Another twenty pages and I was stretching. I should try to crack the report I was working on. I should at least get up and do the wash. What if I was contagious? I certainly didn`t want to spead any germs. The wash could wait. My family was resourceful enough to scrounge clothing for the next day.Maybe I wasn`t actually getting the flu. I didn`t really want to be sick. To be truthful, all I wanted was a little time off. I needed to nurture myself away from people, chores, career and the outside world. Did I have to wait to be sick to do that? As a child, the only respite from school or family chores was illness. But I wasn`t a child any more. Did I have to manufacture symptoms to provide myself with an excuse? No, I decided, I didn`t.I talked to myself. Okay, I said, you need a day off. Admit it. Toss out the guilt and enjoy a mini-vacation what would you like to do? Read? You`re already doing that. Pamper yourself? Take a bubble bath. Be a hermit? Let the machine answer the phone.I poured half the bottle of bath gel into the streaming water and added a hearty handful of chamomile bath salts. Then I lit a vanilla-scented candle and gingerly stepped into the bathtub. With a grateful sigh, I immersed myself in my homemade spa. I heard the phonering somewhere off in distance and smiled.It is funny how the aches subsided in the heat of the tub. They just slipped away with the last of the bubbles down the drain. My head felt just fine, the throb replaced by a sense of well-being.By late afternoon, I was back at it, refreshed physically, mentally and emotionally. And rather than feeling helpless, I feltempowered. I had given myself permission to listen and respond to my needs, to care for myself the way I tended to my family. I didn`t need the crutch of illness to justify a rest. It was such a simple awareness, but then isn`t it the simple things that set us free?Text BPre-reading Questions1.Do you have a positive body image? What do you think is the relation between self-esteem and body image?2.What do you think is important to develop a positive body image?Self-Esteem and Body ImageI`m fat. I`m too skinny. I`d be happy if I were taller, shorter, had curly hair, straight hair, a smaller nose, bigger muscles, longer legs.Do any of these statements sound familiar? Are you used to putting yourself down? If so, you `re not alone. As a teen, you`re going through a ton of changes in your body. And as your body changes, so does your image of yourself. Lots of people have trouble adjusting, and this can affect their self- esteem.Why Are Self-Esteem and Body Image Important?Self-esteem is all about how much people value themselves, the pride they fell in themselves, and how worthwhile they feel. Self-esteem is important because feeling good about yourself can affect how you act.A person who has high self-esteem will make friends easily, is more in control of his or her behavior, and will enjoy life more.Body image is how someone feels about his or her own physical appearance. For many people, especially those in their early teems, body image can be closely linked to self-esteem.That`s because as kids develop into teens, they care more about how others see them.What Influences a Person`s Self-Esteem?PubertySome teens struggle with their self-esteem when they begin puberty because the body goes through many changes. These changes, combined with a natural desire to feel accepted, mean it can be tempting for people to compare themselves with others. They may compare themselves with the people around them or with actors and celebs they see on TV, in movies, or in magazines.But it`s impossible to measure ourselves against others because the changes that come with puberty are different for everyone. Some people start developing early; others are late bloomers. Some get a temporary layer of fat to prepare for a growth spurt; others fill out permanently, and still others feel like they stay skinny no matter how much they eat. It all depends on how our genes have programmed our bodies to act.The changes that come with puberty can affect how both girls and guys feel about themselves. Some girls may feel uncomfortable or embarrassed about their maturing bodies. Others may wish that they were developing faster. Girls may feel pressure to be thin but guys may feel like they don`t look big or muscular enough.Outside InfluencesIt`s not just development that affects self-esteem, though. Many other factors (like media images of skinny girls and bulked-up guys) can affect a person`s body image too.Family life can sometimes influence self-esteem. Some parentsspend more time criticizing their kids and the way they lookthan praising them, which can reduce kids` ability to develop good self-esteem.People also may experience negative comments and hurtful teasing about the way they look from classmates and peers. Sometimes racial and ethnic prejudice is the source of such comments. Although these often come from ignorance, sometimes they can affect someone`s body image and self-esteem.Healthy Self-EsteemIf you have a positive body image, you probably like and accept yourself the way you are. This healthy attitude allows you to explore other aspects of growing up, such as developing good friendships, growing more independent from your parents, and challenging yourself physically and mentally. Developing these parts of yourself can help boost your self-esteem.A positive, optimistic attitude can help people develop strong self-esteem. For example, saying, “Hey, I`m human” instead of “Wow, I`m such a loser” when you`ve made a mistake, or not blaming others when things don`t go as expected.Knowing what makes you happy and how to meet your goals can help you feel capable, strong, and in control of your life. A positive attitude and a healthy lifestyle (such as exercising and eating right) are agreat combination for building good self-esteem.Tips for Improving Body ImageSome people think they need to change how they look or act to feel good about themselves. But actually all you need to do is change the way you see your body and how you think about yourself.The first thing to do is recognize that your body is your own,no matter what shape, size, or color it comes in. If you`re very worried about your wight or size, check with your doctor to verify that things are OK. But it`s no one`s business but your own what your body is like. Ultimately, you have to be happy with yourself.Next, identify which aspects of your appearance you can realistically change and which you can`t. Everyone (even the most perfect-seeming celeb) has things about themselves that they can`t change and need to accept, like their height, for example, or their shoe size.If there are things about yourself that you want to change and can (such as how fit you are), do this by making goals for yourself. For example, if you want to get fit, make a plan to exercise every day and eat nutritious foods. Then keep track of your progress until you reach your goal. Meeting a challenge you set for yourself is a great way to boost self-esteem!。
