自考汉语言本科：00015英语二...II. Text LearningThe Language of Confidence1 The language we use programs our brains. Mastering our language gives us agreat degree of mastery over our lives and our destinies. It is important to usethe language in the best way possible in order to dramatically improve ourquality of life.2 Even the smallest of words can have the deepest effect on our subconsciousmind, which is like a child, and it doesn't really understand the differencebetween what really happens and what you imagine. (1)It is eager to please andwilling to carry out any commands that you give it - whether you do thisknowingly or not is entirely up to you."Try"3 It is a small word yet it has an amazing impact upon us. If someone says,"I'll try to do that" you know that they are not going to be putting their wholeheart into it, and may not even do it at all. (2)How often do you use the wordtry when talking about the things that matter to you? Do you say "I'll try to bemore confident" or "I'll try to do that" or "I'll try to call"?4 Think about something that you would like to achieve, and say it to yourselfin two different ways. Firstly say, "I'll try to …" and notice how you feel.Next say, "I will do …" and see how you feel.5 (3)The latter makes you feel better than the first one, doesn't it? It givesyou a sense of determination, a feeling that it will be done. Listen to thepeople around you and when they say they will try notice if it gets done or not.Eliminate the word try from your dictionary and see how your life improves.（承上句）本部分重点及难点：显示重难点解析1.

如：The ache in his back lasted for two days. 他的背痛了两天。
The boy cried with pain. 这男孩痛得哭了起来由于ache 通常用于指局部的持续性疼痛，所以它经常与某些表示身体部位的词构成合成词，表示身体的某处疼痛(此时通常不用pain)。
如：headache (头痛)，toothache (牙痛)，stomachache (胃痛)，earache (耳痛)，backache (背痛)，等等。

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. Or was the ache in my joints? That could mean I was coming down with the flu. （承上启下句）Everyone I knew had the flu this year. Why should I be the one to escape it? 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. I ought to get up. But no, there was that headache and the beginning of a sniffle. Better get the tissues.本部分重点及难点：1.

I opened the book and settled against the pillows.⑤The morning was moving along and so was my reading. Another twenty pages and I was stretching. I should try to crack（找到解决办法）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 spread any germs. The wash could wait. (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. My family was resourceful enough to scrounge clothing for the next day.家人足够有能力找到第二天能穿的衣服。

Lots of people have trouble adjusting, and this can affect theirself-esteem.3 Why Are Self-Esteem and Body Image Important?Self-esteem is all about how much people value themselves, the pride they feelin themselves, and how worthwhile they feel. Self-esteem is important becausefeeling good about yourself can affect how you act. A person who has highself-esteem will make friends easily, is more in control of his orher behavior,and will enjoy life more.Body image is how someone feels about his or her ownphysical appearance. Formany people, especially those in their early teens, body image can be closelylinked to self-esteem. That's because as kids develop into teens, they care moreabout how others see them.（承上句）4 What Influences a Person's Self-Esteem?PubertySome teens struggle with their self-esteem when they begin puberty because thebody goes through many changes. (1)These changes, combined with a natural desireto feel accepted, mean it can be tempting for people to compare themselves withothers.

Text A Feeling Free
On my way back from the bathroom with a family-sized（家用的）tissue box, I stopped to grab that big new novel I had bought but had no time to read. I opened the book and settled（安顿）against the pillows.

Text A Feeling Free
By late afternoon, I was back at it(恢复原样), refreshed physically, mentally and emotionally. And rather than feeling helpless, I felt empowered. I had given myself permission to listen and respond to my needs, to care for myself the way I tended to(注意,留心) my family. I didn't need the crutch(拐 杖) of illness to justify a rest. It was such a simple awareness, but then isn't it the simple things that set us free?

II. Text LearningSelf-Esteem and Body Image1 I'm fat. I'm too skinny. I'd be happy if I were taller, shorter, had curlyhair, straight hair, a smaller nose, , bigger muscles, longer legs.2 Do any of these statements sound familiar?（承上句）Are you used to puttingyourself down? If so, you're not alone. As a teen, you're going through a ton ofchanges（大量的变化）in your body. And as your body changes, so does your image ofyourself. Lots of people have trouble adjusting, and this can affect theirself-esteem.3 Why Are Self-Esteem and Body Image Important?Self-esteem is all about how much people value themselves, the pride they feelin themselves, and how worthwhile they feel. Self-esteem is important becausefeeling good about yourself can affect how you act. A person who has highself-esteem will make friends easily, is more in control of his orher behavior,and will enjoy life more.Body image is how someone feels about his or her own physical appearance. Formany people, especially those in their early teens, body image can be closelylinked to self-esteem. That's because as kids develop into teens, they care moreabout how others see them.（承上句）4 What Influences a Person's Self-Esteem?PubertySome teens struggle with their self-esteem when they begin puberty because thebody goes through many changes. (1)These changes, combined with a natural desireto feel accepted, mean it can be tempting for people to compare themselves withothers. They may compare themselves with the people around them or with actorsand celebs they see on TV, in movies, or in magazines.本部分重点及难点：显示重难点解析1. These changes, combined with a natural desire to feel accepted, mean it canbe tempting for people to compare themselves with others.(1) natural desire天生的欲望(2) it can be tempting（吸引人的，诱惑人的）for people to compare themselves withothers 中it是形式主语，真正的主语是for people to compare themselves with others, forpeople作不定式的逻辑主语。
注意不定式和动名词逻辑主语的选择It's selfish of you to think of yourself all thetime（你老是想着自己）.It's important for you to master a foreign language（你掌握一门外语）.It's+adj. +of sb. to do sth. 此类形容词包括：nice, kind, cruel, selfish, selfless, brave,wise, foolish, stupid 等。
Do you mind my/me/ Tom's / Tom opening thewindow（我/汤姆开窗）?His/Tom's having left home（他/汤姆离家出走）made his parents very sad.请认真答题，答题结果将记入知识点测评的成绩！【单选题】24. It's essential ______ to keep a dictionary athand while you are reading an English novel.A．that youB．yourC．of youD．foryou【答案】D【解析】本题考查不定式的逻辑主语。
形容词essential不是表示人的品质、行为的词，故选择for you 而不是ofyou。
如果选择A应该把题干中空格后的to去掉，即essential 后接用虚拟语气的从句。
【知识点】不定式的逻辑主语(2)But it's impossible to measure ourselves against others because the changesthat come with puberty are different for everyone.（承上启下句、主题句）Some people startdeveloping early; others are late bloomers. Some get a temporary layer of fat toprepare for a growth spurt（急剧增长）; others fill out permanently, and still othersfeel like they stay skinny no matter how much they eat. (3)It all depends on howour genes have programmed our bodies to act.（承上总结句）The changes that come with puberty can affect how both girls and guys feel aboutthemselves. Some girls may feel uncomfortable or embarrassed about theirmaturing bodies. Others may wish that they were developing faster. Girls mayfeet pressure to be thin but guys may feel like they don't look big or muscularenough.本部分重点及难点：显示重难点解析2. But it's impossible to measure ourselves against others because the changesthat come with puberty are different for everyone.measure oneself against ...对照……评价自己，一较高下，与……较量3. It all depends on how our genes have programmed our bodiesto act.(1) depend on 取决于It depends. 看情况吧。
(2) program 使按预定的步骤进行our genes haveprogrammed our bodies to act 我们的基因已经设定好了身体将如何成长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'sbody image too.Family life can sometimes influence self-esteem. Some parentsspend more timecriticizing their kids and the way they look than praising them, which canreduce kids' ability to develop good self-esteem.People also may experience negative comments and hurtful teasing about the waythey look from classmates and peers. Sometimes racial and ethnic prejudice isthe source of such comments. Although these often come from ignorance, sometimesthey can affect someone's body image and self-esteem.5 Healthy Self-EsteemIf you have a positive body image, you probably like and accept yourself the wayyou are.
