Everyone has good days and bad days.

Sometimes, you feel as if you’re on top of the world. But occasionally you feel horrible, and you lose things and you cannot focus on your schoolwork.

For more than 20 years, scientists have suggested that high self-esteem (自尊) is the key to success. Now, new research shows that focusing just on building self-esteem may not be helpful. In some cases, having high self-esteem can bring bad results if it makes you less likeable or more upset when you fail at something.

“Forget about self-esteem,” says Jennifer Crocker, a psychologist (心理学家) at the University of Michigan, US. “It’s not the important thing.”

Feeling good

Crocker’s advice may sound a bit strange because it is good to feel good about yourself.

Studies show that people with high self-esteem are less likely to be depressed, anxious, shy, or lonely than those with low self-esteem.

But, after reviewing about 18,000 studies on self-esteem, Roy Baumeister, a psychologist at Florida State University, has found that building up your self-esteem will not necessarily make you a better person.

He believes that violent and wicked (邪恶的) people often have the highest self-esteem of all. He also said: “There’s no evidence that kids with high self-esteem do better in school.”

Problems

All types of people have problems. People with high self-esteem can have big egos (自我) that can make them less likeable to their peers(同龄人), said Kathleen Vohs, a psychology professor at Columbia University.

People with high self-esteem tend to think more of themselves, Vohs says. People with low self-esteem are more likely to rely on their friends when they need help.

What to do

Researchers say it is best to listen to and support other people. Find positive ways to contribute to society. If you fail at something, try to learn from the experience. “The best therapy (药方) is to recognize your faults,” Vohs says. “It’s OK to say, ‘I’m not so good at that,’ and then move on.”

1.The new research comes to the conclusion that high self-esteem ________.

A. is not important at all

B. may not be the key to success

C. has taken on a different meaning

D. does not help you do better at school

2.One of the conclusions of the new research is that ________.

A. people with high esteem tend to be proud

B. people with high esteem usually do not seek other’s help

C. feeling good about oneself doesn’t mean you lead a happier life

D. people with low esteem are often more popular

3.The underlined part “a better person” in the passage probably means a person who is ______.

A. helpful and supportive B. gentle and modest

C. likable and successful D. friendly and kind

4.From the text, we can infer the best therapy mentioned in the last paragraph is mainly for people ________.

A. of all kinds

B. with low self-esteem

C. with high self-estee

D. who are focusing on building self-esteem

When you are travelling, whether on business or for pleasure, you often need to stay in a hotel. The kind of hotel you choose probably is decided above all according to how much money you want to spend. There are small hotels with very few services, where the prices are low, or there are large hotels with all the very latest comforts, where you could spend a lot of the money you have in the bank for one very comfortable night.

There are several different kinds of people who go to hotels. Some want to live, rather than just stay, in a hotel; the hotels which are designed to meet their needs are called residential hotels(长住型饭店). However, most people who stay in hotels are either business people or tourists on holiday.

In most hotels, there are two kinds of rooms: single rooms, for the use of one person, and double rooms, for the use of two people. In addition, in large hotels, there are also suites(套房), which include two or more rooms connected together — perhaps a bed-room and a living room. They are for people who are very rich or very important.

1.One’s choice of a particular hotel is made mainly according to _______.

A. how much one is willing to pay for a night

B. whether one is travelling on business or for pleasure

C. whether the hotel is in the central part of a city

D. how good the services of the hotel are

2.If the president of a certain country comes, he will _______.

A. live in a new hotel with few services　　 B. stay in a single room of a hotel

Looking out across the city and on top of the tall buildings before you are cows. Yes, you read that right. Farm animals are eating grass on high-rise urban farms on top of high buildings in London. Elsewhere, off the coast of mainland England, against the background of extremely beautiful White Cliffs of Dover, a wonderful pod (吊舱) structure forms part of floating city. This is how we will live 100 years from now — if a group of UK experts to be believed.

Temporary housing pods, underwater cities and 3D-printed houses will also help reduce the burden of overpopulation and inner city living-space shortages. Building with their own microclimates and cities built in the skies are also among the amazing achievements of future engineering predicted by experts.

But not only today’s architects continue to advance towards the clouds, building higher and higher, as engineering advances allow, but we’ll also be headed deep below ground. Meanwhile, the future will feature city-spanning (跨城市) bridges. Want to travel to Mars quickly? No problem — the experts are predicting spaceports (宇航基地) will become common places, so future generations will be able to head over to their local station and hitch (搭顺风车) the next ride.

The predictions were heavily focused on water - based architecture and present problems such as overpopulation, global warming and rising sea levels. Using the future tech predictions, 2,000 people were then surveyed to see which of the suggestions they thought — and hoped — would become a reality by 2115. Topping the survey was super-deep basement buildings complete with hotels, restaurants, green space, swimming pools and gyms. The survey also found that one in three respondents (调查对象) considered floating sea cities — which could use solar and tidal (潮汐的) energy — as a choice for future development.

1.The first paragraph is meant to ______.

A.present the topic B.make a comment

C.give an example D.draw a conclusion

2.The second paragraph mainly talks about ______.

A.different kinds of building structures.

B.recent development of building structures.

C.means to control the increase of population.

D.future building structures helping to solve the lack of living space.

3.The underlined phrase “local station” refers to ______.

A.air station B.traveling agency

C.spaceport D.traveling destination

4.What did people surveyed consider most practical?

A.City-spanning bridges B.Deep underground buildings

C.Floating sea cities D.slightly-deep basements
