Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D. (40 points) 21 Have you ever been afraid to
12、talk back when you were treated unfairly? Have you ever bought something just because the salesman talked you into it? Are you afraid to ask someone for a date? Many people are afraid to assert themselves, Dr. Alberti, author of Stand Up, Speak Out, and Talk Back, thinks its because their self-respe
13、ct is low. “Our whole set-up is designed to make people distrust themselves,“ says Alberti, “Theres always superior around a parent, a teacher, a boss who knows better. There superiors often gain when they chip away at your self-image.“ But Alberti and other scientists are doing something to help pe
14、ople assert themselves. They offer “assertiveness training“ courses, AT for short. In the AT courses people learn that they have a right to be themselves. They learn to speak out and feel good about doing so. They learn to be more active without hurting other people. In one way, learning to speak ou
15、t is to overcome fear. A group taking an AT course will help the timid person to lose his fear. But, AT uses an even stronger motive the need to share. The timid person speaks out in the group because he wants to tell how he feels. Whether or not you speak up for yourself depends on your self-image.
16、 If someone you face is more “important“ than you, you may feel less of a person. You start to doubt your own good sense. You go by the other person s demand. But, why should you? AT says you can get to feel good about yourself. And once you do, you can learn to speak out. 21 As used the first line,

19、 A) help people overcome fear ( B) show people they have a right to be themselves ( C) help people to assert themselves even if others suffer ( D) help people to feel good about themselves 25 A best title for this passage is _.

20、portance of Self-image ( D) How to Feel Good About Yourself 26 Faces, like fingerprints, are unique. Did you ever wonder how it is possible for us to recognize people? Even a skilled writer probably could not describe all the features that make one face different from another. Yet a very young child
21、 or even an animal, such as a pigeon can learn to recognize faces. We all take this ability for granted. We also tell people apart by how they behave. When we talk about someones personality, we mean the ways in which he or she acts, speaks, thinks and feels that make that individual different from
22、others. Like the human face, human personality is very complex. But describing someones personality in words is somewhat easier than describing his face. If you were asked to describe what a “nice face“ looked like, you probably would have a difficult time doing so. But if you were asked to describe

Gordon, an American psychologist, found nearly 18,000 English words characterizing differences in peoples behavior.
