Find Your Self-worth

Do you measure your personal self-worth based on what others think of you? Do you work really hard to make others like or support you? Do you lack confidence? 1.Increasing self image will help build your confidence and your personal self-worth. So how?

Pay attention to your body language. How you hold your physical body has an effect on how others see you and on how you personally feel. Similarly, how you feel often determines your body language and your outward behavior.2.A simple way is to check your body language. Stand tall with your head held high, shoulders squared, back straight and legs solid; you will feel more in control.

Develop your own measuring stick3. Don’t let others influence your view of success or happiness. Take time out to recognize your achievements no matter how big or small they are. Keep track of your achievements and proud moments in a journal. If you keep a personal journal or even a work journal, start writing in the journal from back to front keeping track of all the little and big things that happen every day.

4. Here’s a simple exercise you can do to gain a richer way of thinking on how you are sensed by others. Start by taking a close look at yourself and create a list of your unique strengths. Who are you? 5.Ask friends, families to share with you what they see as your key characteristics.

Now you know that you’re more than you think you are. So, create a positive picture of your future and then confidently move forward.

A.Know your worth.

B.The two go hand in hand.

C.What sets you apart from others?

D.Are you beating yourself up with your own language?

E.If your answer is yes, perhaps you just don’t consider yourself worthy.

F.Know what’s important to you and take time to honor what you value most.

G.Then take a step towards something you really want by taking some action.

Everyone has got two personalities （性格）— the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real. You don't show your secret personality when you're awake because you can control yourself, but when you're asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night, of course, you often change your sleeping positions. The important position that best shows your secret personality is the one that you fall asleep with．

If you go to sleep on your back, you're a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by new ideas. You don't like to make people unhappy, so you never express your real feelings. You're quite shy and you aren't very confident．

If you sleep on your stomach, you are a person who likes to keep secrets. You worry a lot and you're always easily becoming sad. You never want to change your ideas, but you are satisfied with your life the way it is. You usually live for today not for tomorrow．

If you sleep on curled up, you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and often protect yourself from being hurt, so you are very defensive. You're shy and you don't usually like meeting people. You like to be on your own．

Cancer is a leading cause of death around the world. When it comes to cancer, the sooner you know you have it, the better your chances of surviving. A new blood test could change the way doctors and researchers find cancer in patients. Researchers say the test could provide evidence to the early forms of the disease.

Scientists at Swansea University in Wales came up with the idea. Gareth Jenkins is a professor at the university. “ In this blood test we don’t measure the presence of cancer; we measure the presence of mutant red blood cells which are collateral(附属的) damage that occurs---a by-product of the cancer developing.”

The researchers used normal laboratory equipment to perform the test. This equipment looks for changes in the structure of millions of red blood cells. Those mutant cells lack a surface protein that healthy cells normally have. “The main purpose of the test is to look for very rare cells which have picked up a mutation. The number of mutant red blood cells in a healthy person is around 5 or so per million. You have to look at millions of red blood cells to detect those rare events. These numbers increase in cancer patients---they go up to 40 or 50 mutants on average.”

The researchers tested blood from about 300 people, all of whom have cancer of the esophagus(食道). Patients with esophageal cancer have high levels of mutant red blood cells. Jenkins says that at this point he is not sure if other cancers will produce similar results.

The hope is that the new test and other non-invasive methods could one day become part of commonly used medical methods. He says that using a battery, or series, of tests will be the best way to find out if a person has cancer. These new technologies could save millions of lives.

1.According to the test, how do scientists find out if a person has cancer?

A.By calculating the speed of changes in the structure.

B.By observing the surface protein.

C.By looking for changes in the number of mutant red blood cells.

D.By measuring the presence of cancer.

2.What does the underlined word “mutant” in the 3rd paragraph mean?

A.Decreased. B.Changed. C.Increased. D.Multiplied.

3.The author adopts a/an 　　　　 tone in the passage.

A.humorous B.favorable C.critical D.objective

4.In which section of a website can you most probably find the passage?

A.Health. B.Fashion. C.Education. D.Culture.

Press your fingers into the back of your head, just above your neck. If you feel a small bony bump (突起), you may find evidence of human evolution (进化): it could be your body responding to common smartphone use in the 21st century.

According to a recent study, published in Scientific Reports, more young people have bony bumps at the base of their skulls, right above the neck. Medical professionals call them enlarged external occipital protuberances (EEOPs, 枕外隆突).

Australian health scientist David Shahar, the author of the study, told the BBC that he’s seen more and more patients with EEOPs over the past ten years. Together with other researchers from the University of the Sunshine Coast, Australia, they examined 1,200 skull x-rays from people aged 18–30. They also measured the bumps and noted each person’s posture. They found that one in four people had developed these growths. This led to their theory that smartphones are the cause.

According to their research, looking down at our phones adds stress onto the top of our spines (脊柱). To prevent damage to our spines, Shahar believes our bodies add fresh bony bump to help reduce the extra stress.

Most of the EEOPs measured just a few millimeters. However, several subjects were found with EEOPs as large as 30 mm.

In his report, Shahar said the results “highlighted the need” for prevention. In other words, we need to change our posture while using our phones.

Many people assume our bones are solid and unmoving once we reach adulthood. In reality, they are alive and covered with blood vessels(血管), which allows them to develop in unique ways for each person.

Aside from EEOPs, other noticeable recent changes in human bodies include shrinking jaws, narrower elbows and generally smaller skeletons. The human body is adapting to modern life, so who knows what people in the future might look like?

1.What did the recent study find about EEOPs?

A.They grow on one’s neck.

B.They can lead to many health problems.

C.They may stop growing when you reach 30.

D.They occur among more and more young people.

2.What is the main cause of EEOPs according to the researchers?

A.Extra stress. B.Aging bones.

C.Smartphone use. D.Gene problems.

3.Which of the following would Shahar probably agree with?

A.EEOPs increase the stress on our spines.

B.EEOPs are actually beneficial to our spines.

C.Young people’s bones adapt in similar ways.

D.Young people should exercise to improve their posture.

4.What’s the writing purpose of the text?

A.To persuade readers to protect their spines.

B.To explain why human bodies develop EEOPs.

C.To show some recent changes in human bodies.

D.To recommend some healthy habits of using phones.

Memories of people who have done us wrong return repeatedly to us from time to time. Sometimes we remain angry with a person even though we have forgotten why we are angry in the first place. Learning to forgive is important. Here is why.

As humans, it is one of our weaknesses to lose our minds at times and give in to our anger. However, making that anger stay and feeding it with hate will make it a bad thing to others and to yourself. You have to manage your anger and know how to overcome it. If someone has done wrong to you, forgiving is the first step to get rid of your anger.

You may have once done wrong to others too. Now think if you are worth forgiving. You may find that you are actually a good person. So if someone else does wrong to you, focus on the good times you had together and the good things that he or she has done for you. Is the offence enough to erase the good things he or she has done in the past? When your nerves calm down, think back. There must have been something good there to stop you from hating the person.

If things do not work out and you stay angry with the person or the person refuse to apologize, you still have to make an effort to forgive. Why? That is because an angry person is not a pleasant person to be with. One day you will find yourself talking about the offence over and over to people who do not know the person you are talking about. Anger consumes a person and eventually takes over. It makes you look at things in a bad way and no one can stand being with someone like that.

Lastly, make sure that you have forgiven every offence before going to sleep at night. If someone has hurt you, tell them how you feel. And the most important thing you have to say is “You have hurt me, but I choose to forgive you.” This will give you an inner peace and make your life positive in every way.

1.What is the weakness of humans mentioned in paragraph 2?

A.Letting anger take control of us. B.Never trying to forgive others.

Have you ever picked a job based on the fact that you were good at it, but later found it made you feel very uncomfortable over time? If you don’t know about your personality, it will hurt you in the long term regardless of your skills or the job’s pay. There are several areas of your personality that you need to consider to help you find a good job. 1.

Do you prefer working alone or with other people?

There are isolating jobs that will drive an outgoing person crazy. 2. Most people are not extremes in either direction. But they do have a tendency that they prefer. There are also positions that are sometimes a combination of the two. This may be the best for someone in the middle who adapts easily to either situation.

How do you handle changes?

Most jobs these days have some elements of changes to them, but some are more than others. If you need stability(稳定) in your life, you may need a job where the changes don’t happen so often. 3.
