Tips to Become More Confident

Our confidence plays an important role in ability to achieve success and happiness. It affects our mental thought patterns, the way we speak and act, and the decisions we make in all areas of our lives. Confident people take more action, perform better, and are more likely to attain their goals.　 1.　 Lucky for us, confidence can be built and strengthened until it becomes natural, just as any other habit. It simply takes a little time, some effort, and a bit of attention.

1. Fail more often.

The more challenges you take on, the more failures you’ll have, but learning that you can recover, get up and push forward builds confidence.

2. 2.

Keep a list of successes, big and small. It’ll help you to see your abilities in a more positive and realistic light.

3. Start a conversation.

When you find yourself in a social situation, don’t always turn to those people you’re comfortable with.　 3. Eventually getting to know new people will become easier.

4. Don’t compare.

Stop measuring yourself against others. 4. Making comparisons is a damaging and an inaccurate measure of success anyway.

Confidence helps you to be more secure in your abilities and more positive in your attitude. It also encourages you to be more assertive(坚定自信的) to take on more challenges, and to improve your skills. 5. The end result is a better outlook, more success, and a higher quality of life in all areas.

FIRE plays an important role in maintaining woodland ecosystems but fire introduced to undergrowth too often destroys too much; as humans remain the leading cause of wildfire, the responsibility to minimize the damage done falls on our shoulders. Here are four man-made fires that highlight the mission to fight fire and help to replant the world’s forests to counter the effects of deforestation.

Heilongjiang Fire—China, 1987

One of the largest fires ever to occur in history, the Heilongiiang Fire devoured three million acres of forest in the Greater Khingan Range. Reports attributed the fire’s easy spread to dry conditions in the area-but it was excessive logging activity without any effort to let the forest regrow that really let it rage unhindered. 34,000 soldiers were deployed to put the fire out, and 33,000 people were left homeless.

Wallow Fire—USA, 2011

Still the largest wildfire in Arizona’s history, Wallow got its name when two men accidentally started it while camping in the Bear Wallow Wilderness. Their campfire blew out of control and burned through over half a million acres of land, costing $72 million to extinguish, and a further $37 million to clean up and rebuild after the damage. More than 6,000 people had to be evacuated.

Uttarakhand fires—India, 2016

Throughout the year, man-made fires plagued the pine forests of the Uttarakhand Region. Widespread media coverage eventually spurred the government on to intervene, sending Indian Air Force helicopters to put them out. It’s suspected that these increased numbers could be the result of honey or seed collectors trying to frighten off animals.

Brandenburg Fire—Germany, 2018

Largely thanks to longer, dryer summers than usual—the forested area of Brandenburg, Germany, caught alight. Results of investigation suggested that evidence pointed to arson (纵火). Brandenburg lost nearly 1,000 acres of its forested land and three nearby villages had to be evacuated. A choking, smoky haze drifted twelve miles to Berlin, causing residents to have to shut themselves in their home.

1.The underlined word “counter” in the first paragraph has the closest meaning to ________.

A.reverse B.multiply

C.achieve D.enhance

2.Which of the following is true about the four fires?

A.The dry condition of the Greater Khingan Range was mainly responsible for the rage of Heilongjiang Fire.

B.A total of $72 million was poured in putting out the Wallow Fire alone.

C.Uttarakhand fires claimed so many lives that Air Force helicopters came to the rescue.

D.Excessive heat from the Brandenburg Fire confined the residents nearby to their homes.

3.The most suitable title for this passage might be ________.

A.hot weather setting the globe on fire

B.forest blazes caused by human hands

C.forest fires consuming people and money

D.uncontained forest fires raging worldwide

Nowadays, cars are playing an increasingly important role in daily life and many societies would stop functioning without them. So, the claim that in 20 years’ time, no one will own cars may be hard to believe. But this is the prediction made by a team of transport researchers who are taken seriously, not only by governments but also by car manufacturers.

The Human Science and Advanced Technology Institute at Loughborough in the UK is part of an international research program. The team there believes that by 2040 all cars will be computerized, which will mean extremely large fuel savings, no accidents and better use of roads. The super-intelligent car of the 21st century will drive itself and it will not be owned by one individual. Instead, we will have a choice of cars and change them as frequently as we change our clothing.

According to Dr. David Davis, who leads the research team, these predictions are based on the rising cost of the car culture, which had blocked up our cities, polluted our air and caused more deaths than both world wars put together.

Davis says cars will be fitted with intelligent cruise control devices to regulate the distance between one car and another. Brakes and accelerators will become redundant(多余的)because the car will automatically speed up or slow down to match the speed of the car in front. Computers are much safer drivers than people, so cars in a road train will be able to drive much closer together than cars driven by people so that the roads can be made the best of.

By 2030 Dr. David Davis believes car technology will give motorists a clear view of the road whatever the weather conditions by projecting an image of the road ahead onto the car’s windscreen. And by 2040 cars will travel in convoy(组队) linked to each other electronically. Cars will be connected by an electronic tow(牵引) bar to the car in front to form “road-trains”. “The front vehicle in such a train burns the ordinary fuel” says Davis. “But all the others in the train would burn about ten percent of the normal amount and so produce about ten percent of the pollution.”

1.We learn from the passage that governments and car manufactures 　　 .

A. don’t believe the prediction that no one will own cars by 2020

B. are devoted to the technological innovation (创新) in car industry

C. consider the predictions made by the researchers seriously

D. have put the super-intelligent car into mass production

2.Which of the following will NOT be the characteristics of the cars of 2040?

A. There will be no brake and accelerator in cars.　　 B. We will own as many cars as we want.

C. All cars will be driven by computers.　　 D. Car accident will no longer happen.

3.Davis believes that the present car culture will change because 　　 .

A. cars play an important role in daily life

B. many societies would stop working without cars

C. cars should not be owned by one individual

D. it causes more and more pain to human society

4.Which of the following sentences can explain better use of roads by 2040 mentioned in the passage?

A. Computer-driven cars can drive much closer together than cars driven by people.

B. Motorists can have a clear view of the road whatever the weather conditions are.

C. Cars will travel in convoy linked to each other by an electronic tow bar.

D. Intelligent cruise control devices can regulate the distance between one car and another.

5.What will happen if cars are linked to each other electronically in 2040?

A. Motorists will get a clear view of the road.

B. The weather conditions won’t have effect on motorists.

C. There will be a decrease in the pollution caused by car.

D. All trains will burn less fuel than present.
