With so many new inventions in modern society, people can find information via many different

ways. People can make use of older ways like radio, television and telephone. Young people prefer

newer and faster means such as cell phone and internet. Among these ways, internet is my favorite.

Internet is very conveneient. On internet,people can find information of different kinds from all

sources. I can switch from political news to a job-hunting page just by one click, which saves a lot of

time.I can even talk to my parents and friends on the same computer. Some people may say that there is too much false information on the internet, which can bring bad influence to you. For me, this

is not a problem. I always save some popular, reliable and respectable websites and make good use of them and care little about the attached advertisement. Small kids can also learn a lot of things

from the internet if their parents tell them how to tell good from bad.

Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C andD. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Passage l

Questions l to 5 are based on the following passage.

Sometimes you'll hear people say that you can't love others until you love yourself. Sometimes

you'll hear people say that you can't expect someone else to love you until you love yourself. Either

way, you've got to love yourself first and this can be tricky. Sure we all know that we're the apple of

our parents' eyes, and that our Grandmas think we're great talents and our Uncle Roberts think that

we will go to the Olympics, but sometimes it's a lot harder to think such nice thoughts about ourselves. If you find that believing in yourself is a challenge, it is time you built a positive self-image

and learnt to love yourself.

Self-image is your own mind's picture of yourself. This image includes the way you look, the way

you act, the way you talk and the way you think. Interestingly, our self-images are often quite different

from the images others hold about us. Unfortunately, most of these images arc more negative than

they should be. Thus changing the way you think about yourself is the key to changing your self-image and your whole world.

The best way to defeat a passive self-image is to step back and decide to stress your successes.

That is, make a list if you need to, but write down all of the great things you do every day. Don't allow

doubts to occur in it.

It very well might be that you are experiencing a negative self-image because you can't move past one flaw or weakness that you see about yourself. Well, roll up your sleeves and make a change

of it as your primary task. If you think you're silly because you aren't good at math, find a tutor. If you

think you're weak because you can't run a mile, get to the track and practice. If you think you're dull

because you don't wear the latest trends, buy a few new clothes.

The best way to get rid of a negative self-image is to realize that your image is far from objective

and to actively convince yourself of your positive qualities. Changing the way you think and working

on those you need to improve will go a long way towards promoting a positive self-image. When you

can pat yourself on the back, you'll know you're well on your way. 1. You need to build a positive self-image when you ____ .

A. dare to challenge yourself B. feel it hard to change yourself C. are unconfident ahout yourself D. have a high opinion of yourself 2. According to the passage, our self-images ____ . A. have positive effects B. are probably untrue C. are often changeable D. have different functions

3. How should you change your self-image according to the passage? A. Keep a different image of others. B. Make your life successful. C. Understand your own world. D. Change the way you think. 4. What is the passage mainly about? A. How to prepare for your success. B. How to face challenges in your life. C. How to build a positive self-image. D. How to develop your good qualities.

5. Who are the intended readers of the passage?

A. Parents. B. Adolescents.

C. Educators. D. People in general.

Passage 2

Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.

Do you want to live with a strong sense of peacefulness, happiness, goodness, and self-respect?

The collection of happiness actions broadly categorized as“honor”help you create this life of good feelings.

Here's an example to show how honorable actions create happiness.

Say a store clerk fails to charge us for an item. If we keep silent, and profit from the clerk's mistake,

we would drive home with a sense of sneaky excitement. Later we might tell our family or friends about

our good fortune. On the other hand, if we tell the clerk about the uncharged item,the clerk would be

grateful and thank us for our honesty. We would leave the store with a quiet sense of honor that we

might never share with another soul.

Then, what is it to do with our sense of happiness?

In the first case, where we don't tell the clerk, a couple of things would happen. Deep down inside

we would know ourselves as a type of thief. In the process, We would lose some peace of mind and

self-respect. We would also demonstrate that we cannot be trusted. since we advertise our dishonor

by telling our family and friends. We damage our own reputations by telling others.In contrast, bringing

the error to the clerk's attention causes different things to happen.Immediately the clerk knows us to

be honorable. Upon leaving the store, we feel honorable and our self-respect is increased. Whenever

we take honorable actions we gain the deep internal rewards of goodness and a sense of nobility. There is a beautiful positive cycle that is created by living a life of honorable actions.Honorable

thoughts lead to honorable actions. Honorable actions lead us to a happier existence.And It's easy to

think and act honorably again when we're happy. While the positive cycle can be difficult to start, once

it's started, it's easy to continue. Keeping on doing good deeds brings us peace of mind, which is important for our happines.

6. According to the passage, the positive action in the example contributes to our ____. A. self-respect B. financial rewards

C. advertising ability D. friendly relationship

7. The author thinks that keeping silent about the uncharged item is equal to ____. A. lying B. stealing C. cheating D. advertising

8. The phrase“bringing the error to the clerk's attention”(Para.5)means ____. A. telling the truth to the clerk B. offering advice to the clerk

C. asking the clerk to be more attentive D. reminding the clerk of the charged item

9. How will we feel if we let the clerk know the mistake? A. We'll be very excited. B. We'll feel unfortunate.

C. We'll have a sense of honor. D. We'll feel sorry for the clerk.

10. Which of the following can be the best title of this passage? A. How to Live Truthfully

B. Importance of Peacefulness C. Ways of Gaining Self-respect

D. Happiness through Honorable Actions

Passage 3

Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.

\芝麻街) has been called “the longest street in the world”. That is because the

television program by that name can now be seen in so many parts of the world. That program became one of America's exports soon after it went on the air in the New York in 1969.

In the United States more than six million children watch the program regularly. The viewers include more than half of the nation's pre-school children. Although some educators object to certain

clements in the program, parents praise it highly. Many teachers also consider it a great help, though

some teachers find that problems arise when first graders who have learned from“Sesame Street”are

in the same class with children who have not watched the program.

The program uses songs, stories, jokes and pictures to give children a basic understanding of numbers, letters and human relationships. Tests have shown that children have benefited from watching “Sesame Street”. Those who watch five times a week learn more than the occasional viewers.

number of children who can watch it regularly.

the government and private businesses, and the skillful use of a variety of TV tricks. Perhaps an

equally

important reason is that mothers watch“Sesame Street”along with their children. This is partly because

famous adult stars often appear on“Sesame Street”. But the best reason for the success of the program may be that it makes every child watching it feel able to learn. The child finds himself learning,

and he wants to learn more.
