ourselves over and over for days，weeks，months，and sometimes years，has a great effect on how we see ourselves.This also contributes to many mental health disorders.Many of us have problems with negative thoughts playing on the channel of our minds，but if youre buried in them and believe them，they could be wearing your sense of selfesteem (自尊)Here are a few beliefs that indicate you may need to switch the channel：Im not good enough？/I dont deserve.？/No one likes me？/Im a failure?Negative thoughts remind you of your bad feelings and they bring your focus on your failures，and they get you nowhere.What can you do？Here are some suggestions：Switch the channel when negative thoughts appear.Selftalk is not so obvious that we often dont notice its effect on our mood and belief systems.Key things to notice are “if only” or “what if” statements：the former keeps you stuck in the past with regret，while the latter keeps you fearful of the future.There is nothing you can do about the past，and the future isnt here yet，so stay in the present moment.Recognize that actions always follow beliefs.Youll find yourself behaving in ways that are consistent to your beliefs.So，start believing the best about yourself：act as if you believe that youre a valuable and worthy person.Develop positive selftalk rather than negative selftalk.Instead of always looking down upon yourself in your head，think of some things you actually like about yourself.What are your strengths？What are you good at？Instead of saying “Im a loser”，try saying，“I am capable./Im good at./I accept myself the way I am.”Thinking poorly about ourselves gets us nowhere and is extremely selflimiting.Decide today to turn off the negative selftalk channel in your mind and develop your true potential.1From the first two paragraphs we can learn that_.Alots of people have no sense of selfesteemBfocusing on negative thoughts may have bad effect on peopleCnegative thoughts will strengthen our sense of selfesteemDfew people have negative thoughts and mental problems2The underlined word “wearing” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to_.Astrengthening BprotectingCweakening Dreplacing3What do the suggestions in the text tell us?AOur beliefs always come after actions.BPositive selftalk does good to our mental health.CLooking down upon ourselves is a sign of modesty.D“What if” keeps you stuck in the past with regret.4The text encourages us to_.Aget rid of negative thoughtsBget anywhere we likeCthink highly of othersDturn off the selftalk channel5This text is most likely to appear in_.Aa recreation guide Ba medical journalCa science textbook Da travel brochure语篇解读文章主要告诉大家抛弃消极的思想，培养积极的思想。1解析：推理判断题。根据文章第一段中的“What we say to ourselves over and over for days，weeks，months，and sometimes years，has a great effect on how we see ourselves.This also contributes to many mental health disorders.”以及第二段中的“Many of us have problems with negative thoughts playing on the channel of our minds”可以判断出，消极的思想会对人产生不利的影响，故答案为B。答案：B2解析：词义猜测题。根据画线词前后的内容可知，这里指的是消极的思想可能会减弱人们的自尊感。故wearing在此与weakening的意思最接近，表示“减弱”。答案：C3解析：推理判断题。根据文章最后四段的内容可推知，积极的自我暗示对我们的心理有益，故B项正确。答案：B4解析：推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章鼓励我们抛弃消极的思想。答案：A5解析：推理判断题。由于本文主要说明的是消极思想和积极思想对人们所产生的影响，故本文最有可能出现在医学杂志上，选B。答案：B.。
