Writing Some people say that winning means being rich, some say winning means being powerful, and other think winning means being happy. I think winning means doing what you should do and being good at it. Most of us can only live in this world for no more than 70 or 80 years. We shouldnt think too much about what we can get form this world. Instead, we should think about what we can leave in this world. The one who can make more contributions to the world is a real winner. For example, cleaning the street is a humble job in many peoples eyes, but in my opinion, street cleaners can also be great winners. They make our city more beautiful. They give us a better environment and consequently a better life. But, on the contrary, some people make money at the cost of the environment. Some are even worse: they cheat or kill others in order to gain power or earn money. Winners or losers? Its time to give it a second thought.Unit 4 Psychology in Our Daily LifePart TwoPost-Readingl Reading Comprehension1.

For example, people cant resist the temptation to buy clothes on sale; patients feel much better after theyve taken some placebos.A. Wait, wait. I dont think it has anything to do with psychology.B. It does have something to do with psychology. People cant help buying clothes on sale because they have a very powerful psychological need that they feel they must satisfy. Patients who have taken some placebos feel much better because they constantly tell themselves that they will become better, and their strong will makes the wish to get better become reality.A: Oh, I see. Does psychology also play a role in such cases as talking with friends and listening to fast music?B. Yes, talking with friends can be relaxing, and listening to fast music can make people energetic or dynamic. According to psychology, these are god ways of keeping a distance from depression and pressure.3. WritingSample 1 Psychology plays an important role in our daily life. Our feeling and attitudes color the way we behave. Confidence is a good example. In reality, a great number of people complain that they are not able to do something or that their difficulties are too great to overcome. In some cases, this may be true. But in other cases, it means that these people allow themselves to get discouraged. For example, a confident man can accomplish many things. If you have confidence, you believe you can do things well. You might not always do as well as you hope, but you will try harder the next time. A man who lacks self-confidence might not be able to complete simple tasks. Without confidence you are likely to be nervous, unsure of yourself and confused about what to do and how to do it. You may think you will fail, so as a result you will not try hard enough. As the old saying goes, where is a will, there is a way. In other words, if you have the will or the determination to do something, you will always find a way to do it. Having confidence is an important part of our life.Sample 2 In our daily life, we often have to buy things. Most of us cannot really distinguish good quality form bad quality. Obviously we can see if an apple is rotten, but we cannot always see if something is well made. What thoughts make us buy things? A women may decide to buy a particular style of dress because several of her friends choose that style. She wants to be like her friends. A man might decide to buy a particular coat because it is expensive. He thinks that since it is expensive it must be of good quality. A student who has a lot of money might decide to buy a jacket because it was designed by a well-known designer. Wearing a jacket with the designers name on it makes him feel important. These are not the logical reasons for buy things, but they explain the motivation behind peoples actions or behavior. It means that psychology or our mental state plays an important role in many aspects of our daily life. Unit5 DreamsPart TwoPost-Readingl Reading Comprehension1.
