“I’m the smartest kid in class.” We all want our kids to be self-confident, but unrealistic perception(认知) of their academic abilities, a new study finds, damage a child’s relationship with others in the classroom: The more one student feels unrealistically superior(更好的) to another, the less the two students like each other.

Katrin Rentzsch of Bamberg University in Germany first became interested in the effects of such self-perception when she was studying how people became labeled as nerds(书呆子). “I really got interested in the question of whether it’s OK to boast(吹嘘) about achievements,” she says.

This line of thinking led her towards something psychologists call “self-enhancement” －when a person feels unrealistically superior to someone else. So Rentzsch and her colleague Michela Schroder-Abe decided to take a closer look at how such self-enhancement affects relationships, so they turned to the eighth-grade classroom, somewhere they could measure differences between actual academic performance, and social popularity. The 358 students came from 20 eighth-grade classes in schools in southeast Germany.

The researchers asked each student to rate their classmates, in terms of their likability and of their feelings of academic superiority. They then compared those ratings with the students’ grades in math, physics, German and English. Importantly, they conducted the analysis at two different social levels: “habitual”－the way people act in general, and “relationship”－the way someone acts around a specific individual.

In future work, Rentzsch would like to look at these effects on adults, perhaps specifically in team work. She’s also interested in self-enhancement beyond academic achievements, for example physical attractiveness. And another question to explore is why students overestimate their academic abilities. Perhaps it is because of too much praise from their parents or teachers.

1.According to paragraph 1, what should a student do to be more popular in class?

A. Try to love other students.

B. Share with others his achievements.

C. Think highly of others’ academic abilities.

D. Have a correct view of his academic abilities.

2.What was each student required to do during the study?

A. Analyze their relationships with others.

B. Compare themselves with the others.

C. Make assessments about each other.

D. Share their academic performance.

3.The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 .

A. students’ academic abilities.

B. students’ desire to be praised.

C. students’ difficulty in exploration.

D. students’ overestimation of their academic abilities.

4.What would Rentzsch study in the future?

A. The effect of self-enhancement on students.

B. The influence of self-enhancement on adults.

C. The cause of people’s physical attractiveness.

D. The ways of making academic achievements.

Everyone can try his best to achieve something. We don't need to be the best, but to challenge the limits of what we are capable of. I gained this belief from my third grade teacher, the most special, honored, trustworthy, and beloved person in my life.

Mr. Myrus was always perfectly dressed and spoke with the belief that talking to an eight－year－old child didn't mean he had to sacrifice proper statements or grammar. And he was demanding,__but he wasn't unreasonable or cruel. He simply felt that no matter what your best was, you should achieve it.

Luckily enough, I met him again as my eighth grade math teacher. I was not, nor ever will be, gifted in math. I remember my struggles in class. “I don't know the answer，” I would say. “I can't do it！” “Perhaps you don't know the answer，” he would say quietly. “Do you think we might figure it out together? How do you know what you can do if you don't have a try？”

Mr. Myrus lived around the corner, and I would often stop by to talk while he worked in his garden. I knew there was someone who let me know that if I had really tried, that was enough. “Don't be so hard on yourself，”he'd say.“Stop blaming yourself. Did you try your best? Well，then you're not a failure，” he often told me these words.

Mr. Myrus died in 1978. I had never thought about his death. He was too young. I felt sorry. But when I think about him now, I don't feel so sorry. He taught me to be kind, not only to others，but to myself. He taught me my own value. He taught me about honor, about truth, and about doing my best and he also taught me that all feelings and beliefs have dignity and deserve respect. And of all the things I know, I believe that we can't all be “the best”， but we can, each of us, be our best. And I know that's true because Mr. Myrus told me that.

1.What does the underlined word “demanding” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?

A. Strict.　　 B. Indifferent.

C. Critical.　　 D. Careful.

2.Why did the author think he was lucky in Paragraph 3?

A. Mr. Myrus became his teacher again.

B. Mr. Myrus was his teacher for eight years.

C. He became interested in math because of Mr. Myrus.

D. He developed a good relationship with Mr. Myrus.

3.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A. The author may have become a teacher.

B. The author liked to recall his childhood.

C. The author believed he would be the best of all.

D. The author ended up being a man of self－confidence.

4.What can we learn about Mr. Myrus according to the passage?

A. He is usually indifferent to the students.

B. He is responsible for his students and his teaching.

C. He is a person who isn't particular about what he wears.

D. He is sometimes cruel and unreasonable to his students.

“ I’d like to be at a healthier weight , ” a friend told me . “ But we just don’t have the money to buy expensive diet foods and there isn’t enough money to join a gym .” Many people feel that way—that a healthy diet and exercise plan is out of reach because of their high cost . Don’t lose hope ! We’ll be looking at ways to make healthy choices without spending too much money .

First you don’t need to buy the expensive pre-prepared “ diet foods . ” Back in the early 1970s when I started housekeeping , 90% of the food I bought was ingredients . Very few things were preprocessed（预处理的）. Now 90% of the food you find in the store is quick food . That’s a bad thing .

Quick foods like boxed “ just add hamburger ” meals have had the fiber removed to make them faster to prepare . Take a look at the label on that box . It often has low numbers listed under “ fiber ” because fiber takes longer to digest . If the low fiber meal is digested , the result is that your body begins to store fat . Besides , your body is short of nutrients（营养物质）. You will be driven to eat more to try to make up for the low quality of the food you are eating .

And then there are the chemicals the producers add to the quick meals to make them palatable . If not , the stuff would taste like cardboard and you wouldn’t enjoy it . However , these chemicals certainly aren’t good for your health .

What’s the answer ? Buy whole ingredients and give up the expensive , low nutrition , processed foods . Do the cooking yourself and you will have control over what is in your food —and it will cost less , too .

1.People who find it hard to get a healthier weight think ________ .

2. The author doesn’t like quick food mainly because ________ .

3.The underlined word “ palatable ” in Paragraph 4 probably means “ ________ ”.

4.The author suggests in the text that people should ________ .

5.Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage ? （①="Paragraph" 1,

②="Paragraph" 2 ,…⑤="Paragraph" 5）
