Ⅱ.阅读理解
It was about seven years ago. I had just picked up my three-year-old daughter from nursery. I was weighed down with shopping, and with my daughter's things. We arrived at a pedestrian crossing and she pressed the button. In the distance, I heard alarms, told my daughter to wait and watched the police car approach.
Little did I know, as the_green_man flashed, that my daughter had begun to run into the road. I watched the police car speed towards us—that's when you sounded your horn (喇叭) and waved wildly to me. My daughter was about a meter from the path of the police car, hidden from their view by your car.
I screamed her name and ran towards her.She stopped and was shocked by the rush of the police car as it sped past. She wondered why you had blown your horn, asking, “Why was that woman so rude?” not realizing that you had saved her life.
She wondered why I picked her up, and burst into tears. My legs gave way as I reached the other side of the road. I should have followed up my “wait” with a hand on her shoulder, or an explanation of why we were ignoring the green man this time, especially as I had in effect conditioned her to cross the road on the sight of the green flash.
I beat myself up for months, and still do, with flashbacks and horrible assumption about what might have been. But for you sounding your horn, seeing what I hadn't seen, I would have been left a mother on the other side of the road, totally broken. I apologize for putting you in that position—I can imagine that it upset you, too. You saved her life and I am so very, very grateful.

How To Cultivate Your Confidence
Self-confidence, the combination of self-efficacy and self-esteem, is an essential part of humanity.A person with self-confidence generally is willing to take risks to achieve his personal goals.Someone who lacks self-confidence, however, is less likely to feel that he can achieve his goals. __1__
Identify your negative thoughts. Your negative thoughts might sound like this:“I can't do that,” “I will surely fail”. This inner voice is pessimistic and unhelpful and will hold you back from achieving high self-esteem and greater self-confidence.
Turn your negative thoughts to positive thoughts.
__2__ This may take the form of positive affirmations, such as “I am going to try it,” “I can be successful if I work at it, ”or “people will listen to me”. Start with just a few positive thoughts a day.
Refuse to allow negative thoughts to occur more often than positive thoughts. Eventually, your positive thoughts should be given more “brain space” than your negative thoughts. __3__
__4__ Avoid spending time around things that can make you feel bad about yourself again. These might be reminders from the past, clothing that no longer fits, or places that don't fit with your new goals of gaining confidence. Though you may not be able to get rid of every negative source in your life, you can certainly think about how to cut your losses. __5__
A.Get away from your past.
B.Rid reminders of your negativity.
C.This will go a long way in building up your self-confidence. D.This means that you can have an abundance of self-confidence.
E.The more your positive thoughts get ,the less your negative thoughts get. F.As you pay attention to your negative thoughts, turn them around to positive thoughts.
G.The good news is that self-confidence is something that you can build on your own.
