Unit 2 English around the world*阅读理解People who possess high selfesteem are able to mit better and produce a greater bond in relationships with others. Dr. Douglas feels that most people do not value themselves， but with love and selfrespect anyone can be above normality and grasp success with the family， the office， or others. We have bee too reliant on intelligence， beauty， and money for our own selfesteem. The loss of esteem reduces the will and ability to set and reach goals. In a series of reading Douglas teaches how to avoid negative statements， how to change them into selffacing behavior， and how to take charge of your mental attitude. Where other motivational and selfhelp work stops with the theoretical plan for success， Douglas takes everyday examples and puts them into his books. From raising children who believe in themselves to using selfesteem to help bridge the gap in the workplace， he gives readers concrete solutions to the problems that might ruin their interpersonal relations.Selfesteem building es from filling your thoughts with positive affirmations（肯定） and learning to react to failures with motivation instead of selfdestruction. These lessons are valuable for anyone who feels that life is even slightly out of control. People who feel they have adequate esteem can learn to use it to make their success grander， faster， and more beneficial for others. Douglas approaches this process of selfdevelopment as a means of more than creating good things for the individual but also for setting up keys for influencing good things for others.For more than thirty years， Dr. Douglas has addressed more than two million people on topics from time management to speaking effectively to raising drugfree children. He is the author of fifteen books， including How to Make a Habit of Succeeding.【解题导语】本文主要讲述了自尊心强的优势以及如何培养自尊。1.What can we infer from Paragraph One？A.Most people behave well enough.B.Selfrespect means being above normality.C.Selfesteem matters much.D.mitting better equals greater success.C解析：推理判断题。根据第一段的整体内容可推知，自尊心很重要，故选C。2.Why does Douglas put everyday examples into his books？A.To be reliant on selfesteem.B.To set and reach goals.C.To avoid negative thoughts.D.To offer concrete solutions.D解析：细节理解题。根据第二段的最后一句可知，Douglas把日常的具体案例写进自己的书里是为了给出具体的应对方法，故选D。3.What does the author advise those whose life is slightly out of control to do？A.Learn to be positive.BFace it unmotivatedly.C.Admit selfdestruction.

Some of them are harmless, some are _3_ (actual) helpful and some could even kill you. They are, of course, bacteria, fungi (霉菌) and viruses, and whether you like it or not, theyre on you, around you, and deeply within you. The fact _4_ bacteria are everywhere is not surprising. Its something you _5_ (learn) from your childhood when your mother told you not to drink water from someone elses glass. There are lots of bacteria _6_ are living in your tea kettle. There are bacteria _7_ (sleep) with you on your bed. Scientists are beginning _8_ (realize) the richness of the microbiome (微生物群系), which is as plex as the ones _9_ (find) in oceans, rainforests, deserts and woodlands. Your house has a microbiome and _10_ do you.1_2._3._4._5._6._7._8._9._10._篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。世上没有真正独自的生活，即使你单独在家，家里没有狗、猫或者鱼，你身边还是有成千上万的陪伴者各种细菌、霉菌和病毒。1as考查固定结构。There is no such thing as .

fact的具体内容。5learned/learnt考查动词的时态。根据下文中的told可知，应用一般过去时。6which/that考查定语从句的引导词。分析句子结构可知，空处引导定语从句，先行词为bacteria，指物，关系词在从句中作主语，故用which或that。7sleeping考查非谓语动词。bacteria与sleep存在逻辑上的主谓关系，故用现在分词作后置定语。8to realize考查非谓语动词。start和begin后跟表示心理状态或精神活动的动词时，如understand和realize等，常用不定式。9found考查非谓语动词。the ones与find是被动关系，应用过去分词作后置定语。10so考查特殊句型。“so助动词主语”表示“也如此”。*完形填空One morning Maila woke up with a start.She had had

Disappointing as I felt at the shabby campus and the poorlyequipped classroom, I found the teachers patiently and considerate. Beside, I enjoyed the friendly atmosphere in class. I decided to make the best of it. I worked hardly and got along well my teachers and classmates. Whenever I had difficulties, they are always available. Soon, I became one of the top student in our class, that greatly increased my confidence and I got more motivated. My experience tells me that it is not what you are given but how you make a use of it what determines who you are.答案：Three years ago I became a student in an ordinary school. as I felt at the shabby campus and the poorlyequipped classroom, I found the teachers and considerate. ， I enjoyed the friendly atmosphere in class.
