Five Ways to Build Self-Confidence
Walk Faster.
One of the easiest ways to tell how a person feels about herself is to examine her walk. People with confidence walk quickly. They have places to go, people to see, or important work to do. Even if you aren’t in a hurry, you can increase your self-confidence by putting some energy in your step. 1..
2.One of the best ways to build confidence is listening to an inspiring speech. Unluckily, chances to listen to a great speaker are few. You can fill this need by creating a personal speech. Write a 30~60-second speech that focuses on your strengths and goals then recite it aloud whenever you need a confidence push.
Sit in the Front Row.
In school, offices and some other public places people always sit at the back of the room, 3.This is for lack of self-confidence. By deciding to sit in the front row, you can get over this meaningless fear and build your self-confidence.
Speak up.
During group discussions many people never express their opinions because they’re afraid that people will judge them for their saying something stupid. 4.By making an effort to express your opinions at least once in every group discussion, you’ll become a better public speaker, more confident in your own thoughts.
Work out
Along the same lines as personal appearance, physical fitness has huge effect on self-confidence. 5.By making your body fit and strong, you improve your physical appearance, refresh yourself, and learn something positive. (255words)
A. In fact most people are dealing with the same fear.
B. Walking 25% faster will make you look and feel more important.
C. In fact most people feel good after a walk.
D. If you’re out of shape, you’ll feel unattractive and less energetic.
E. Listen to an Inspiring Speech.
F. Create a Personal Speech.
G. Most people prefer that because they’re afraid of being noticed.
阅读下列短文 ,从每题所给的四个选项 (A 、B 、C 和 D )中 ,选出最佳选项。
Scientific experiments can sometimes go wrong and when they do the results may range from the disastrous to the troubling. One such experiment took place in South America about fifty years ago. Whether its final consequences will cause serious damage or nothing more than a small trouble still remains to be seen.
The story began in 1956 when an American scientist working in Brazil decided to solve the problem of increasing the productivity of that country's bees. He imported a very active type of African bee from Tanzania and mated (交配) it with the more easy-going native variety to produce a new kind of bees. The new bees worked harder and produced twice as much honey. It seemed that Professor Kerr, for that was the scientist's name, had a total success on his hands.
Then things began to go wrong. For some reason as yet unseen, but perhaps as a result of something in their environment, the new bees began to develop extremely attacking personalities. They became bad-tempered and easy to be angry, attacked the native bees and drove them from their living places.
But worse was to follow. Having taken over the countryside, the new bees, with their dangerous stings (叮) , began to attack its neighbors -- cats, dogs, horses, chickens and finally man himself. A long period of terror began that has so far killed a great number of animals and about 150 human beings.
This would have been bad enough if the bees had stayed in Brazil. But now they are on the move, heading northwards in countless millions towards Central and North America, and moving at the alarming speed of 200 miles a year. The countries that lie in their path are naturally worried because it looks as if nothing can be done to stop them.

2.The experiment mentioned in this passage was designed to .

3.Which of the following may be the cause of the new bees' attacking personalities?
A. Their production of honey. B. Their hard work.
C. Their living environment. D. Their bad temper.
4.The last paragraph implies that .
A. the bees have been driven to Central and North America
B. the bees may bring about trouble in more countries
C. the bees must be stopped from moving north
D. the bees prefer to live in Brazil
