请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。
You want to be confident and feel confident, but what if you're starting with little or no confidence? True self-confidence isn't an overnight acquisition. It takes dedication to realize you are a good human being that is worthy of respect and love.
Recognize your insecurities
What does that voice in the back of your mind say? Why do you feel uncomfortable or ashamed of yourself? This could be anything from regrets to friends at school or negative experience. Whatever is making you feel unworthy, or ashamed, identify it, give it a name, and write it down. You can also tear these written pieces to start feeling positive on those points.
Get rid of insecurities gradually
Each day you should weaken it. There's no quick fix. Get to the root of the problem; focus on it and understand that you need to resolve each issue before you can move on. Check if it is an old past emotion and if it is really still relevant or applicable in your life today. And that does not mean you have to get rid of whatever makes you feel bad (many times, you simply can't). You need to learn to accept yourself, your past, your circumstances as they are, without necessarily thinking of them as “bad”.
Identify your successes
Everyone is good at something, so discover the things at which you do extremely well, then focus on your talents. Give yourself permission to be proud of them. Give yourself credit for your successes. Inferiority (自卑) is a state of mind in which you've declared yourself a victim. Do not allow yourself to be victimized.
Be Positive
Avoid self-pity, or the pity and sympathy of others. Never allow others to make you feel inferior—they can only do so if you let them. If you continue to dislike and look down upon yourself, others are going to do and believe likewise. Instead, speak in a positive way about yourself, about your future, and about your progress. Do not be afraid to show your strengths and qualities to others. By doing so, you strengthen those ideas in your mind and encourage your growth in a positive direction.
Apply “facial feedback theory”
Studies surrounding what’s called the "facial feedback theory" suggest that the expressions on your face can actually encourage your brain to express certain emotions. So look in the mirror and smile every day, and you might feel happier with yourself and more confident in the long run.
Help others
When you know you’re of help to the people around you, and are making a positive difference in other people’s lives (even if it's just being kinder to the person who serves you coffee in the morning), you'll know that you are a positive force in the world—which will boost yourself confidence.
Now, dear friends, will you let confidence keep you company? Be confident, and accomplishing your goals will be just around the corner.

2016高考训练题。阅读理解。
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
Here’s a movie-a sharp, sugar-rush of fun that’s guaranteed to entertain the entire family.
With some terrific computer-generated effects, a great cast and a fun-packed storyline, Robots is the best animated film(动画片) since The Incredibles. Yep, it really is that good.
Set in a world populated by robots, Ewan McGregor plays Rodney Copperbottom, a young robot who leaves his small-town home to pursue his dream of becoming an inventor.
But after arriving in Robot City, his hopes of getting a job at Bigweld Industries are destroyed when he learns the firm has been taken over by the evil Ratchet (Greg Kinnear).
Egged on by his controlling mum, Madame Gasket(Jim Broadbent), Ratchet plans to reduce half on Robot City’s citizens to scrap metal by refusing to sell the spare Pans they need to survive.
Instead, he wants to make a fortune selling expensive upgrades that few can afford. As he says, “Why be you when you can be new?”
Aided by a few misfit robots known as the Rustles-including Robin Williams as the cowardly(胆小的) Fender (“I’m made of a metal called Afraidium”)-Rodney must track down the firm’s founder, Bigweld(Mel Brooks), and convince him to save the city from Ratchet’s plans.
The first thing that’ll strike you about the movie is the thought that’s gone into creating Robot City. It’s a wondrous world full of mechanical marvels including wind-up cars and walking streetlamps.
Also terrific are the special effects. This might be animated movie but at times you’ll catch yourself thinking it’s really a live-action film.
Of course, there have been plenty of animated movies that looked the part but were let down by a weak storyline(see Shark Tale, for example).
But Robots grips(扣人心弦)right from the start thanks to a heart-warming and thoroughly engaging plot that never bores.
My only complaints are with Williams who, as usual, has a one-in-10 success rate with his jokes. Also a letdown is a romantic subplot between Rodney and a shapely robot called Cappy(Halle Berry)that doesn’t go anywhere.
Complains aside, this is a mechanical marvel that’ll have you bolted firmly to your seat.
BEST QUOTE(引述)：Fender：“Even though you had a discouraging day, just remember there’s another one coming tomorrow.
BEST BIT：Check out those amazing images.
WORST BIT：Robin Williams’ character does an unfunny Britney Spears dance routine.
IF YOU LIKED…Ice Age, The Incredibles, Toy Story…YOU’LL LIKE THIS.
1. This piece of writing is a _____.
A. commercial advertisement B. film review C. movie poster D. 1iterary essay
2. The cast Of Robots is made up of all the following actors or actresses EXCEPT ______.
A. Ewan McGregor B. Robin Williams C. Britney Spears D. Halle Berry
3. What is Shark Tale an example of?
A great cast. B. A poor plot. C. Special effects. D. Clumsy animation.

【长春市普通高中2016届高三质量监测（一）】
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。
36 What we consider polite at home isn’t always accepted outside our borders. Don’t be regarded rude or disrespectful on your travels. Gift giving should be a happy, positive experience. 37 Giving sharp, pointy objects as gifts is considered unlucky. Be careful when presenting flowers in Russia. Yellow flowers suggest cheat or a relationship breakup. 38 Writing cards or notes while visiting South Korea, be mindful of your pen’s ink color. Writing a person’s name in red ink traditionally suggests that the person has passed away. 39 If you are invited over to someone’s home for a meal, it’s recommended that you arrive 10 to 15 minutes later than the requested time. When having a meal in Egypt, don’t use the saltshaker (调味瓶). Spreading salt on your food means you find the meal terrible. Japan is a very polite nation, and their politeness extends to the mealtime use of chopsticks. It’s considered ill-mannered to point or play with food with chopsticks. 40 Using the end that touches your mouth is extremely offensive (冒犯的), not to mention unhygienic (不卫生的).
A. When selecting a present in the Netherlands, don’t buy kitchen knives or scissors.
B. Punctuality is considered to be good manners all over the world.
C. When traveling, it’s important to learn about the customs of the global village.
D. Red carnations（康乃馨）are usually presented to Mothers.

精美句子
1、善思则能“从无字句处读书”。读沙漠，读出了它坦荡豪放的胸怀；读太阳，读出了它普照万物的无私；读春雨，读出了它润物无声的柔情。读大海，读出了它气势磅礴的豪情。读石灰，读出了它粉身碎骨不变色的清白。
2、幸福幸福是“临行密密缝，意恐迟迟归”的牵挂； 幸福是“春种一粒粟，秋收千颗子”的收获. 幸福是“采菊东篱下，悠然见南山”的闲适；幸福是“奇闻共欣赏，疑义相与析”的愉悦。幸福是“随风潜入夜，润物细无声”的奉献；幸福是“夜来风雨声，花落知多少”的恬淡。幸福是“零落成泥碾作尘，只有香如故”的圣洁。幸福是“壮志饥餐胡虏肉，笑谈渴饮匈奴血”的豪壮。幸福是“先天下之忧而忧，后天下之乐而乐”的胸怀。幸福是“人生自古谁无死，留取丹心照汗青”的气节。
3、大自然的语言丰富多彩：从秋叶的飘零中，我们读出了季节的变换；从归雁的行列中，我读出了集体的力量；从冰雪的消融中，我们读出了春天的脚步；从穿石的滴水中，我们读出了坚持的可贵；从蜂蜜的浓香中，我们读出了勤劳的甜美。
4、成功与失败种子，如果害怕埋没，那它永远不能发芽。鲜花，如果害怕凋谢，那它永远不能开放。矿石，如果害怕焚烧（熔炉），那它永远不能成钢（炼成金子）。蜡烛，如果害怕熄灭（燃烧），那它永远不能发光。航船，如果害怕风浪，那它永远不能到达彼岸。
5、墙角的花，当你孤芳自赏时，天地便小了。 井底的蛙，当你自我欢唱时，视野便窄了。笼中的鸟，当你安于供养时，自由便没了。山中的石！当你背靠群峰时，意志就坚了。水中的萍！当你随波逐流后，根基就没了。空中的鸟！当你展翅蓝天中，宇宙就大了。空中的雁！当你离开队伍时，危险就大了。地下的煤！你燃烧自己后，贡献就大了
6、朋友是什么？
朋友是快乐日子里的一把吉它，尽情地为你弹奏生活的愉悦；朋友是忧伤日子里的一股春风，轻轻地为你拂去心中的愁云。朋友是成功道路上的一位良师，热情的将你引向阳光的地带；朋友是失败苦闷中的一盏明灯，默默地为你驱赶心灵的阴霾。
7、一粒种子，可以无声无息地在泥土里腐烂掉，也可以长成参天的大树。 一块铀块，可以平庸无奇地在石头里沉睡下去，也可以产生惊天动地的力量。一个人，可以碌碌无为地在世上厮混日子，也可以让生命发出耀眼的光芒。
8、青春是一首歌，她拨动着我们年轻的心弦；青春是一团火，她点燃了我们沸腾的热血； 青春是一面旗帜，她召唤着我们勇敢前行；青春是一本教科书，她启迪着我们的智慧和心灵。
