We all go through times when we feel we are not good enough. We might feel that way at work or in school or even as a parent. Here are some things to remember when you feel like that.

1. When I started my Ph.D. program, I felt like the dumbest person in every class. I couldn’t believe how many smart people were there. I didn’t know if I could measure up to their intelligence or compete in the same league with them. Years later, I found out that almost everyone felt this way, too.

You are unique and have special talents. If you can barely make Hamburger Helper, don’t compare yourself to your sister who is a chef(厨师). I’m sure you can do many things that she can’t. 2. You are you. You are not your sister.

You need to stop chasing perfection. It doesn’t exist. What’s perfect to me is not perfect to you. So if you think that there is some objective measurement of perfection and that the rest of the world is judging you against, then you are wrong. 3.

4. Our sense of self-worth is based in our thoughts. We have been programmed for many years with thoughts about ourselves. Messages come from our parents, our peers, teachers, the media and our own labels. But guess what? They are only thoughts. Just because you think these thoughts, it doesn’t make them true. 5.

A. You need to change your thought patterns.

B. So focus on your own passions and talents.

C. You have the power to change your future.

D. You are not the only one who feels this way.

E. If you love yourself for who you are, other people will notice.

F. One of my favorite sayings is, ＂Don’t believe a negative thought you think!＂

G. Most people are too worried about their own lack of perfection to judge you.

高三英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

For years, a question that human beings often ask about the universe is: “Are we alone here?” In January, 2019, the discovery of new fast radio bursts (FRBs,快速射电暴) from deep space got many to ask it again.

According to Mirror, a Canadian led team of scientists found 13 FRBs with the help of a radio telescope. First discovered in 2007, FRBs are short bursts of radio waves coming from far outside the Milky Way(银河). Scientists have found over 60 FRBs so far. They last only a few milliseconds but release the same energy as the sun gives off in a day.

Among the 13 FRBs, a very unusual repeating signal was found, which came six times from the same location about l.5 billion light-years away. Such an event has only been reported once before, back in 2012. It may help scientists understand where FRBs are from and what causes them. More importantly, the new FRBs were recorded at unusually low radio frequencies. Most of those previously found have had frequencies of around l,400 megahertz (MHz), but new bursts are found at even 400MHz - the lowest frequency the telescope can discover. According to the BBC, the low frequency means that the sources of the bursts have changed. It also suggests humans can learn more about the environment where the bursts come from.

Avid Loeb, a professor from Harvard University, believes the radio waves may be evidence of alien technology. They may be “leakage from a huge, light-powered ship deep in space,” Loeb told The Independent. And even some Chinese internet users joked we shouldn't respond to them. However, most researchers believe that FRBs are formed due to the death of a star or the merging　　 (合并) of two black holes.

“Science isn't a matter of belief, it's a matter of evidence,” claimed Loeb. So only more advanced technology and more collected data will reveal the truth about FRBs. Time will be the judge.

1.What can we learn about the 13 FRBs from the text?

A.They release less energy than the sun does.

B.They are from somewhere in the Milky Way.

C.They cover l.5 billion light-years in a second.

D.The 400MHz FRBs may help man know more.

2.What does the underlined “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A.The year of 2012. B.The same location.

C.The radio telescope. D.The repeating signal.

3.Which statement might Loeb agree with?

A.More is needed to explore FRBs.

B.We shouldn’t respond to the FRBS.

C.FRBs are from sun-powered ships in space.

D.FRBs are formed due to the death of a star.

4.What might be the best title for the text?

A.What Causes FRBs? B.Where Are FRBs From?

C.Are Aliens Signaling to Us? D.Is Science a Matter of Belief?

It’s good to make mistakes, and here is why.

First of all, mistakes are a clear sign that we are trying new things. It’s always good to try new things because when we are trying new things, we are growing. If we never try anything new, how can we improve? How can we expand? The simple answer is “We can’t”. Look around us. With very few exceptions, either everything you see in your physical world or every single detail of every single thing is the result of someone trying something new.

Another good thing about mistakes is this: When we are making mistakes, we are learning. Consider this --- Edison failed 10,000 times before he perfected the light bulb. When asked how it felt to fail that many times, he said that he had learned 10,000 things that didn’t work.

Finally, when we make a mistake, we are much closer to success. Why? Because when all is said and done, we will have tried some number of things before we succeeded. Every time we make a mistake, we eliminate one of those things and are one step closer.

But all this doesn’t mean that we should go through life without considering the consequences of a mistake. Quite the contrary, when we try something new, we have to be willing to set some reasonable limits so that in the event that it doesn’t work out the way we want it to, we will be in a position to try again. We all have limited resources --in the form of time and money -- so we shouldn’t blow them all on one approach to a problem. Realize that it probably won’t be perfect the first time and allocate these resources appropriately so we can learn, make corrections, and try it again. Only by accepting and using our mistakes in this way can we make significant advances in our lives.

There is an old saying that goes, “If you’re not making mistakes, you’re not trying hard enough.” So go forth and make mistakes. And learn. And grow. And prosper.

1.From the second paragraph, we can conclude that ________.

A.mistakes are unnecessary for development B.mistakes let us see our own limits

C.it’s common for people to make mistakes D.making mistakes is better than not trying

2.According to the passage, if we try new things, we can ________.

A.move forward B.never fail C.obtain nothing D.be closer to mistakes

3.The underlined word “eliminate” means ________.

A.make up for B.get rid of C.avoid D.solve

4.According to the article, one thing we should pay attention to about making mistakes is ________.

A.avoiding making the same mistakes B.accepting the outcome willingly

C.making proper arrangements for our next try D.reflecting on the consequences after each mistake

5.The article is mainly about ________.

A.how to deal with mistakes B.what benefits making mistakes brings

C.how to achieve success D.how to make use of our mistakes

6.What may the writer probably suggest we say to ourselves when we make a mistake?

A.Never mind, I tried my best. B.That’s all right. I’ll try again.

C.Great! Now I have learned something. D.Look at this mess. Anyone would be upset.

Most people will agree that it is good to read, but not all reading is equal. Here are some tips for productive reading.

1. Take notes.

Even if you never refer to your notes again, the process of taking notes helps you sort out something important and will help you remember it. You can choose between computers or paper for your notes. 1.. On the other hand, many people feel they recall information better when they write it by hand.

2. 2..

If you are like me, once you commit to reading a book, it is very hard to give up until you’ve finished it. Given the number of books that are available and our limited life, it just doesn’t make sense to read a book that you aren’t getting anything from.

3. Variety is good.

While you don’t want to give up on a book that you are benefiting from, it is important to give yourself variety. You can pick up a book at random or intentionally looking for something different from what you normally read. 3..

4. Review what you’ve read.

If you want to remember what you read, take the time to review. 4.. When you finish a book, spend 15 minutes examining your notes in 2 to 4 days. Then 2 to 4 weeks after that and then 2 to 4 months after that. This will strengthen the knowledge in your mind.

5. Discuss what you read with others.

5.. If you can talk with people in person, that is ideal, but don t overlook the power of the Internet in connecting people with similar interests but different geography.

A. Don’t be afraid to give up

B. Make full use of reading time

C. It’s hard to get more out of your normal reading

D. This can be very valuable in giving you a different opinion

E. And you，d better go over things at ever increasing time intervals

F. Using computers will make it easy to find your notes later by search

G. The best way to get more from your reading is to discuss it with others
