But this morning, a fifth grader on the bus made fun of him, and he didnt want to come to class and get teased by other kids.”Ms. Nelson tried to convince Matthew to come inside, but since school rules prohibit kids from wearing hats indoors he refused explaining that the was afraid of showing his haircut to the other children in case they also made fun of him.“Finally, I said: If you take off your hat and come to class, Ill let you give me a buzz cut too,” Ms. Nelson explained.“I figured its just hair, and mine is already short anyway. I might as well get it shorter in time for the warm weather.”Matthew excitedly accepted the offer, and Ms. Nelson and another teacher gathered all the fourth graders together during break time.A school employee brought in clippers (修剪工具)which Matthew used to the cheers of his classmates, excitedly watching as the teachers hair fell onto the ground in the schoolyard.“It was a lot of fun for the kids, and it helped Matthew feel better about himself,” said Ms. Nelson.“You have to do what it takes to reach children.

Again and again her father said she would never accomplish anything in life. He told her she was a loser and that anything she did was sure to end in failure. With these words constantly ringing in her ears she grew up looking for someone who would love her and see her as a person of worth. This led her into relationships that disappointed her, ending in pain yet, which was another proof that she was worthless and unlovable. Where does our sense of self-worth come from?It is true that the foundation for a persons self-worth is laid in the home. Words that we hear in our home can build or tear down our worth. Encouraging words are words of life to us while words of criticism are words of death. Other people like teachers, friends and employers add to the collection of life-giving death words in a persons heart. Over time a person begins to see themselves in the light of these words. In this situation can one develop a sense of worth?Feeling worthless is possibly the most obvious symptom of low self-esteem (自尊心). But its easy to overcome. However tough your childhood is, you can still choose to enrich the world every day simply by the way you interact with others and make caring decisions. Whether we contribute anything or not is a choice. Feeling worthless means that youre not doing as well in the areas that matter to you and therefore you need to try to increase your self-esteem. To feel worthwhile, youll have to really work at it and never give up on yourself.All human beings are capable of adding value to society, including you. Thus there are no excuses for saying things like “Im worthless, stupid, useless, helpless” because you have the choice not to be any of these things.32. From Paragraph 1, we can know that .A.Marjorie was a very confident womanB.family education affects childrens growthC.fathers decide childrens future developmentD.children shouldnt follow their parents advice33.The third paragraph mainly shows up .A.what is self-esteemB.why we feel worthlessC.when we should make a choice D.how we should change ourselves34.It can be inferred from the passage that .A.all of us can contribute to societyB.our self-esteem is only built at homeC.people should treat children strictly like their parentsD.people should accomplish anything that matters to us35.Which of the following is the best title of this text?A.The Reasons for WorthlessnessB.The Importance of Fathers EducationC.Take Action to Become WorthwhileD.Study Hard to Get Self-esteem第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Lack of sleep isnt the only thing making you feel less energetic. 36 Some bad habits can make you feel tired.You make mountains out of hills. You assume that youre about to get fired when your boss calls you into a unexpected meeting. 37 When you catch yourself having these thoughts, take a deep breath and ask yourself how likely it is that the worst really will happen. 38 Trying to be as good as possible is impossible, and that makes you work much harder and longer than necessary. You set goals that are so unrealistic that they are difficult or impossible to achieve, and in the end, there is no sense of self-satisfaction.You skip breakfast. The food you eat fuels your body, and when you sleep, your body continues using what you consumed at dinner the night before to keep your blood pumping and oxygen flowing. So, when you wake up in the morning, you need to refuel with breakfast. 39 Eating breakfast is like starting a fire in your body.You have trouble saying “no”. People-pleasing often comes at the expense of your own energy and happiness. 40 So whether its your kids coach asking you to bake cookies for her soccer team or your boss seeing if you can work on a Saturday, you dont have to say yes.A.Avoid being the worst of all.B.You are a perfectionist.C.You skip exercise when youre tiredD.Skip it, and youll feel depressed and lazy.E.To make matters worse, it can make you angry over time.F.This anxiety can beat you and make you mentally exhausted.G.Little things you do can exhaust you both mentally and physically.第三部分英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分） 第一节完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。Love is a hot topic, but what is love?
