Once there was an Englishman in Italy.He could speak little Italian.One day while he was walking in the street, he felt hungry and went into a restaurant.When the waiter came, the Englishman opened his mouth, put his fingers into it and took them out again and moved his lips.In this way, he meant to say, “Bring me something to eat.” But the waiter brought him a lot of things to drink, first tea, then coffee, then milk, but no food.
The Englishman was very sorry he was not able to tell the waiter he was hungry.He was ready to leave the restaurant when another man came in and put his hands on his stomach.In this way, he meant to tell the waiter that he was hungry.In a few minutes, the waiter brought him a large plate of bread and meat.At last the Englishman got his meal in the same way.

Once there was an 11 year old boy who went fishing with his father in the middle of the Finger Lake.On the day before salmon (鲑鱼) season opened, they were fishing early in the evening, catching other fish with worms.Then the boy tied on a small silver lure (鱼饵) and put it into the lake.Suddenly he felt that something very big pulling on the lure.His father watched with admiration as the boy skillfully brought the fish beside the bank.Finally he lifted the tired fish from the water.It was the largest one he had ever seen, but it was a salmon.
The boy and his father looked at the big fish.The father lit a match and looked at his watch.It was 10 p.m. — two hours before the season opened.He looked at the fish, then at the boy.“You’ll have to put it back, son.” he said.
“Dad!” cried the boy, “There will be other fish,” said his father.“Not as big as this one,” cried the boy.He looked around the lake.No other fishermen or boats were in sight in the moonlight.He looked again at his father.
Even though no one had seen them, nor could anyone ever know what time he had caught the fish, the boy could tell from his father’s voice that the decision couldn’t be changed.He threw the huge salmon into the dark water.The big fish disappeared.The boy thought that he would never again see such a big fish.
That was 34 years ago.Today the boy is a successful architect in New York City.He often takes his own son and daughters to fish at the same place.
And he was right.He has never again caught such a large fish as the one he got that night long ago.But he does see that same fish ... again and again ... every time he has an ethical (伦理的,道德的) decision to make.For,as his father had taught him, ethics are simple matters of right and wrong.It is only the practice of ethics that is difficult.
语篇解读:本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章通过叙述一个男孩与父亲的一次钓鱼经历,揭示了深刻的人生哲理:即使没人知道,做人也要坚持原则。

A.The boy and his father discussed what to do with the big fish.
B.The boy threw the salmon back into the water willingly.
C.The father lit a match in order to check the time.

解析:选C 细节理解题。根据第二段中的The boy and his father looked at the big fish.The father lit a match and looked at his watch.It was 10 p.m.— two hours before the season opened.可知,男孩和他父亲看着那条大鱼。父亲点燃一根火柴,看了看手表。是晚上10点,父亲发现离鲑鱼的“休渔期”结束还有两个小时,还不能捕鱼。由此可知,父亲是在看时间。故选C。
25.From the text we know that the father .
A.didn’t love his son
B.always disagreed with his son
C.disliked the huge fish
D.was firm and principled
解析:选D 推理判断题。根据第四段中的the boy could tell from his father’s voice that the decision couldn’t be changed可知,男孩从他父亲的声音中可以断定,这个决定是不能改变的。由此判断这位父亲的态度非常坚定,而且非常坚持原则。故选D。
26.The successful architect went fishing with his children at the same place because .
A.they might catch a big fish there
B.he was taught a moral lesson there
C.it was a most popular fishing spot
D.their children enjoyed fishing there
解析:选B 推理判断题。根据最后一段可知,当年那个孩子在成年后也带着自己的孩子来到与父亲曾经垂钓的湖边钓鱼。是因为在那儿父亲言传身教,上了一节道德课:即使没人知道,也要遵守规则。现在他带自己的孩子来到同一个地方,是为了把父亲教给他的做人的道理传给下一代。故选B。
27.What does the story imply
A.It is easy to say something, but difficult to do.
B.An ethical decision is always easy to make.
C.It’s hard to tell right from wrong sometimes.
D.Fishing can help one to make right decisions.
解析:选A 主旨大意题。根据最后一段中的For, as his father had taught him, ethics are simple matters of right and wrong.It is only the practice of ethics that is difficult.可知,正如他父亲所教导他的,道德是简单的对与错的问题。只有道德的实践才是困难的。分析选项可知,选项A的陈述(说起来容易,做起来难)符合题意。故选A。

If you think you have two left feet but would love to be a good dancer then why not try your hand at dancing
That’s exactly what I did five years ago and I immediately fell in love with dancing.To me, dancing is a magical experience: I’ve become fitter, look younger and feel more confident.I enjoy it so much that I will never give up this healthy pastime.
It’s very sociable as well.You meet people and make new friends while dancing the night away.Haven’t you heard stories about how dancing inspired new romances or rekindled (重燃) old ones My friends Joe and Rena just had their big day a few weeks ago after they met each other at a Ceroc workshop some three years before.
The word “Ceroc” comes from the French language.Without the complicated footwork, it is easier to pick up by beginners.Another good thing about Ceroc is that while it is a partner dance, you don’t have to bring a dancing partner.
Other popular styles of dancing in the UK include ballroom, belly dancing, lindy hop, salsa, tango and tap dancing, just to name a few.
No matter what types of dancing you do, one thing is for sure: you will become fitter.For office workers like me, dancing is good cardio exercise after a long day sitting in front of the computer screen.It also strengthens your muscles, improves your coordination (协调) and increases your physical confidence.
Few people will end up being queens of the dance floor.The aim is not to win a competition but to enjoy the interaction (交流).As long as you do the right moves, keep the rhythm and most importantly keep an encouraging smile to your dancing partners, you will always be a winner!

How long could we live in the future
Late last year, US researchers at the Buck Institute of Age Research gave a very exciting answer: 500 years.
Think about it.If that had been the case many years ago, a person could have lived from the Ming Dynasty until now.
But that idea was challenged by scientists at a recent medical conference in the UK, The Times reported.
Speaking at the conference, British neurobiologist (神经生物学家) Sir Colin Blakemore, 70, claimed there is a limit on how long humans can live, and how much the body can age.
Instead of 500 years, 120 years “might be a real absolute limit to human lifespan (寿命)”, he said.
His estimate was based on current statistics (数据) and a look at medical effects.
The number of people living past 100 in the world has increased by 71 per cent in the past decade, the Daily Mail reported.Blakemore agreed that this figure would continue to rise.But people living for longer than 120 years is “so rarely exceeded (超过)” that, even with medical and technological progress, it is unlikely that we can expect more than that, he said.
His claims contradict (与……矛盾) those made previously by researchers at the Buck Institute of Age Research in California.
In 2013, they changed two genetic (基因的) pathways in a tiny worm, and the creature lived life five times as long as a normal one. ①
If that technology could one day be used on human beings, it could extend human lives to 500 years, the Daily Mail reported. ②
But no matter which number is the ceiling (上限) for our lifespans, 120 or 500 years, it would take years for scientists to make that true for most people. ③
On 21 October the Gerontological Society of China published a report on centenarians (百岁老人) in China.There are 58,789 people above the age of 100 now in our country, with the oldest being 128 years old. ④
And by looking at these people’s lifestyles, the society worked out a recipe (秘诀) for a long life: outdoor activities, more communication with others, and a healthy diet containing lots of fruit, vegetables, and low fat food.
So how long do you think you could live If you play your part, your answer could be a satisfying one.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要通过引用各大报纸杂志对人类寿命极限的报道说明人类的寿命极限不应该是500年,而应该是100多年。
32.Which of the following statements does Sir Colin Blakemore agree with
A.It’s impossible for humans to live past 120 years.
B.It’s possible to expand humans’ lives to 500 years.
C.More people are expected to live past 100 years.
D.Chinese people live the healthiest way of life.
解析:选C 细节理解题。根据第六段Instead of 500 years, 120 years “might be a real absolute limit to human lifespan (寿命)”, he said.由此可知,Colin Blakemore认为人们活过500年不太可能,但是更多的人有希望活到100多岁。故选C。
33.The following sentence “We don’t have to completely rely on scientific breakthroughs to live a longer life, however.” can be placed in .
A.① B.②
C.③ D.④
解析:选C 推理判断题。根据本段上文But no matter which number is the ceiling (上限) for our lifespans, 120 or 500 years, it would take years for scientists to make that true for most people.可知,所填句中的however,进行了转折:然而,我们不必完全依靠科学突破来实现长寿。在下文的几段中也举例说明了在中国有很多不是通过科学手段长寿,而是通过自然手段长寿的例子。所以该句子位于③位置最佳。故选C。
34.According to the passage, people may NOT live longer if they .
A.take part in outdoor activities
B.take in high fat food
C.develop a healthy lifestyle
D.talk with others more
解析:选B 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段内容可知,通过观察这些人的生活方式,该协会制订出了一份长寿秘诀:户外活动、多与他人交流、健康饮食包括大量的水果、蔬菜和低脂肪食物。由此可知,当人们摄入过多高脂肪的食物时,他们可能就不会长寿。故选B。
35.What might be the best title for this passage
A.Future Lives “Shortened”
B.500 Years, Not a Dream
C.120 Years, the Limit Ceiling
D.Future Lives “Extended”
解析:选A 标题归纳题。因为本文主要通过引用各大报纸杂志对人类寿命极限的报道说明人类的寿命极限不应该是500年,而应该是100多年。由此可知,最佳标题可以是Future Lives “Shortened”未来的寿命被缩短了。

A Few Tips for Self Acceptance
We all want it ... to accept and love ourselves.But at times it seems too difficult and too far out of reach. 36 Here’s a handful of ways that will set you in the right direction.
● 37 Do not follow the people who make you feel not good enough.Why do you follow them?Are you hoping that eventually you will feel empowered because your life is better than theirs?Know that your life is your own; you are the only you in this world.
●Forgive yourself for mistakes that you have made.We are often ashamed of our shortcomings, our mistakes and our failures. 38 You will make mistakes, time and time again.Rather than getting caught up in how you could have done better, why not offer yourself a compassionate (有同情心) response?“That didn’t go as planned.But, I tried my best.”
●Recognize all of your strengths.Write them down in a journal.Begin to train your brain to look at strength before weakness.List all of your accomplishments and achievements.You have a job, earned your degree, and you got out of bed today. 39
●Now that you’ve listed your strengths, list your imperfections.Turn the page in your journal.Put into words why you feel unworthy, why you don’t feel good enough.Now, read these words back to yourself. 40 Turn to a page in your journal to your list of strengths and achievements.See how awesome you are
A.Feeling upset again
B.Where do you start
C.Nothing is too small to celebrate.
D.Remember, you are only human.
E.Set an intention for self acceptance.
F.Stop comparing yourself with others.
G.When does the comparison game start
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些自我接受的小技巧。
36.选B 由空前内容可知我们都想接受并爱自己。但有时它似乎太困难,太遥不可及。由空后一句Here’s a handful of ways that will set you in the right direction.可知,空处指你应从哪儿开始,B项符合语境。
37.选F 本空是段落主题句。由空后的两个问句可知本段主要讲不要和他人对比,故F项(停止与他人作比较)符合语境。
38.选D 根据段落主题句可知,本段主要讲要原谅自己所犯的错误。根据空后一句可知你会一次又一次地犯错,即是人都会犯错,D项符合语境。
39.选C 本段主要讲要认识到自己的优点并列举出你的成就,由空前一句You have a job, earned your degree, and you got out of bed today.可知,再小的成就也值得庆祝,C项符合语境。
40.选A 根据空前的list your imperfections和read these words back to yourself再结合空后内容可知,阅读描写自己缺点的词会使自己感到沮丧,A项符合语境。
第三部分 语言运用(共两节,满分30分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)
阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
The notion of building brand personality is promoted by Starbucks as a part of company culture to embed meaning in their products and thus attract more customers.
Starbucks literally changed the definition of “a good cup of coffee”.For Starbucks, the brand had three elements: coffee, 41 and stores.Strict control over the quality and processing of the beans 42 that the coffee would be of the highest possible quality.Outstanding store personnel were employed and trained in coffee knowledge and 43 service.Store design, atmosphere and aroma (浓香) all 44 the “Starbucks Experience”.
Almost all Starbucks stores were corporately owned and controlled.Starbucks prided itself on the “Starbucks Experience”, 45 coffee to provide a unique experience for its customers.
46 those traditional coffee houses providing you with the grab and go service, Starbucks provides you with more than coffee.You get great people, first rate music, a comfortable and upbeat meeting place, and 47 advice on brewing excellent coffee at home.At home you’re part of a family.At work you’re part of a company.And somewhere in between is a place where you can sit back and be yourself.That’s what a Starbucks store has been 48 to creating for its customers — a kind of “third place” where they can 49 , reflect, read, chat or listen.
The green Starbucks logo is a mermaid that looks like the end of the double image of the sea.It was designed by Terry Heckler, who got the 50 from the wooden statue of the sea.Mermaid logo also 51 original and modern meanings: her face is very simple, but with modern abstract forms of packaging; the middle is black and white, the only color on the outside surrounded by a circle.
Starbucks makes the typical American culture gradually broken down into elements of 52 : the visual warmth, hearing the way, smelling the aroma of coffee and so on.Just think, through the huge glass windows, watching the crowded streets, 53 sipping a coffee flavor, which is in line with the “Yapi”, the feeling of experience in the 54 life.
But the 55 of Starbucks is not about the coffee, although it’s great coffee.Coffee is only a carrier.Coffee consumption, to a great extent, is an emotional and cultural level of consumption.

阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Taking a photo or many photos every day and sharing it online can improve your well?being. A new study, 56 was published in the journal Health, has proved it.
Researchers have found that snapping and sharing isn’t 57 (simple) an exercise in narcissism(自恋), 58 an act of self care. Taking the photo encourages mindfulness, while the sharing 59 (promote) social interaction. “I will stop and take a photo of this insect 60 (sit) on my computer or something. Just taking a moment is very beneficial, I think,”one participant told scientists at the UK’s Lancaster University and University of Sheffield. Looking at photos gives the subjects (实验对象) a sense 61 purpose, and planning to take them is a motivational force, the researchers say.“It encourages me 62 (walk) out of the house sometimes,”another participant says. On the social side, comments keep people connected with 63 (they) friends and family, and even are 64 (help) in preventing people feeling lonely. Researchers conclude in a press release that posting photos online is “ 65 active process of meaning making”.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项新的研究发现:每天拍照并分享能提升人的健康和幸福。
56.which 考查定语从句。先行词是a new study,指物,逗号后面是非限制性定语从句,从句缺少主语。故填which。
57.simply 考查词性转换。本空所填的词起加强语气的作用,意为“仅仅是”,修饰动词应该用副词。故填simply。
58.but 考查连词。not ...but ...意为“不是……而是……”,是固定用法。故填but。
59.promotes 考查动词的时态和主谓一致。由上下文可知使用一般现在时,the sharing是动名词作主语,谓语动词用单数。故填promotes。
60.sitting 考查非谓语动词。此处insect和sit是主谓关系,用现在分词作后置定语。故填sitting。
61.of 考查介词。固定搭配a sense of意为“一种……感”。故填of。
62.to walk 考查非谓语动词。encourage后跟不定式作补足语, encourage sb to do sth意为“鼓励某人做某事”。故填to walk。
63.their 考查代词。本空所填的词用作名词friends的定语,提示词是代词they,应用形容词性物主代词their修饰friends。故填their。
64.helpful 考查词性转换。本空所填的词在系动词are后作表语,应该用形容词,故填helpful。
65.an 考查冠词。此处泛指“一种积极的过程”,应用不定冠词,而active的发音以元音音素开头,故填an。

参考范文:
Dear Editor,
I’m Li Hua.I’m writing to express my opinions about whether teenagers should have plastic surgery.
I strongly hold the view that teenagers shouldn’t have plastic surgery. Firstly, a teenager should not care about his appearance too much,but concentrate on his lessons. In other words, a teenager should improve himself by working hard. Secondly, a teenager is still growing and such surgery is likely to harm his health. Some teenagers had plastic surgery, which stopped him from returning to a normal life. Therefore, they regret having the surgery.
In a word, a teenager should keep away from plastic surgery. Read more books and lead a meaningful life.
Yours,
Li Hua

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
School mornings were always busy.The first sentence I usually heard was.“It’s time to rise!” It was Mom’s loudest voices, and there was no way I could pretend not to hear it or hide from it.
By then, I couldn’t get to the kitchen fast enough.In fact, it was a race between my sister, my brother, and me.We usually seated ourselves at the same time, sometimes knocking each other out of our places.After breakfast, we all rushed out to the bus stop as we took our lunch bags that contained a sandwich, fruit, and dessert.
Then, one day, much to my surprise, there was no dessert in my lunch! What could have happened to it Did Mom forget to make or buy it Oh, well, I thought.It’s only one time, so it’s no big deal.But, for the next few days, my lunch contained no dessert! So one day, after school, as soon as I got home, I asked, “Mom! Why haven’t you been putting a dessert in my school lunch?”
Mom answered, “Why, Eugene, I have been including a dessert in your lunch.If you’re not getting them, then who is?”
So then we thought of my activities, and what I did with my lunch each day.As soon as I arrived at school, I always put my lunch in the classroom closet (储物间) along with all of the other lunches.And that brought us to Carl — the bad boy of the third grade classroom.The teacher didn’t like him in class and would send him to the closet, where he would spend most of each day.
Carl lived in a group foster home (集体寄养之家).He was loud and somewhat of a thief, he would take just about anything that wasn’t fastened down (盖紧), so he wasn’t welcome at school.Mom and I decided that with nothing else to do Carl was probably going through the lunches and eating what he liked.
注意:1.续写的词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
Mom and I talked about ways to solve this problem.
Another day, Carl asked me if he could come to my house and meet Mom.

Mom and I talked about ways to solve this problem.After some thinking, Mom said she was going to put two packages of goodies in my lunch: one for me and one for Carl.And then I put my lunch bag in the classroom closet as usual.One day, Carl stopped me and asked why there were always two desserts in my lunches.I told him that one was for him.
Another day, Carl asked me if he could come to my house and meet Mom. I told him that he would be welcome at our house as long as he did not steal anything and did not fight or swear.He agreed.After that, Carl would come to our house every day after school and we enjoyed our time together playing games.I learned a lifelong lesson from Mom about how to treat others.

Once there was an 11 year old boy who went fishing with his father in the middle of the Finger Lake.On the day before salmon (鲑鱼) season opened, they were fishing early in the evening, catching other fish with worms.Then the boy tied on a small silver lure (鱼饵) and put it into the lake.Suddenly he felt that something very big pulling on the lure.His father watched with admiration as the boy skillfully brought the fish beside the bank.Finally he lifted the tired fish from the water.It was the largest one he had ever seen, but it was a salmon.
The boy and his father looked at the big fish.The father lit a match and looked at his watch.It was 10 p.m. — two hours before the season opened.He looked at the fish, then at the boy.“You’ll have to put it back, son.” he said.
“Dad!” cried the boy, “There will be other fish,” said his father.“Not as big as this one,” cried the boy.He looked around the lake.No other fishermen or boats were in sight in the moonlight.He looked again at his father.
Even though no one had seen them, nor could anyone ever know what time he had caught the fish, the boy could tell from his father’s voice that the decision couldn’t be changed.He threw the huge salmon into the dark water.The big fish disappeared.The boy thought that he would never again see such a big fish.
That was 34 years ago.Today the boy is a successful architect in New York City.He often takes his own son and daughters to fish at the same place.
And he was right.He has never again caught such a large fish as the one he got that night long ago.But he does see that same fish ... again and again ... every time he has an ethical (伦理的,道德的) decision to make.For,as his father had taught him, ethics are simple matters of right and wrong.It is only the practice of ethics that is difficult.
24.What happened when the big fish turned out to be a salmon
A.The boy and his father discussed what to do with the big fish.
B.The boy threw the salmon back into the water willingly.
C.The father lit a match in order to check the time.
D.They worried other fishermen may discover what they had done.
25.From the text we know that the father .
A.didn’t love his son
B.always disagreed with his son
C.disliked the huge fish
D.was firm and principled
26.The successful architect went fishing with his children at the same place because .
A.they might catch a big fish there
B.he was taught a moral lesson there
C.it was a most popular fishing spot
D.their children enjoyed fishing there

B.An ethical decision is always easy to make.
C.It’s hard to tell right from wrong sometimes.
D.Fishing can help one to make right decisions.

If you think you have two left feet but would love to be a good dancer then why not try your hand at dancing
That’s exactly what I did five years ago and I immediately fell in love with dancing.To me, dancing is a magical experience: I’ve become fitter, look younger and feel more confident.I enjoy it so much that I will never give up this healthy pastime.
It’s very sociable as well.You meet people and make new friends while dancing the night away.Haven’t you heard stories about how dancing inspired new romances or rekindled (重燃) old ones My friends Joe and Rena just had their big day a few weeks ago after they met each other at a Ceroc workshop some three years before.
The word “Ceroc” comes from the French language.Without the complicated footwork, it is easier to pick up by beginners.Another good thing about Ceroc is that while it is a partner dance, you don’t have to bring a dancing partner.
Other popular styles of dancing in the UK include ballroom, belly dancing, lindy hop, salsa, tango and tap dancing, just to name a few.
No matter what types of dancing you do, one thing is for sure: you will become fitter.For office workers like me, dancing is good cardio exercise after a long day sitting in front of the computer screen.It also strengthens your muscles, improves your coordination (协调) and increases your physical confidence.
Few people will end up being queens of the dance floor.The aim is not to win a competition but to enjoy the interaction (交流).As long as you do the right moves, keep the rhythm and most importantly keep an encouraging smile to your dancing partners, you will always be a winner!
28.What do we know about the writer
A.He has two left feet and dances with hands.

B.It’s a dance starting from France.
C.It’s a dance suitable for beginners.
D.It’s a popular ballroom dance.

How long could we live in the future
Late last year, US researchers at the Buck Institute of Age Research gave a very exciting answer: 500 years.
Think about it.If that had been the case many years ago, a person could have lived from the Ming Dynasty until now.
But that idea was challenged by scientists at a recent medical conference in the UK, The Times reported.
Speaking at the conference, British neurobiologist (神经生物学家) Sir Colin Blakemore, 70, claimed there is a limit on how long humans can live, and how much the body can age.
Instead of 500 years, 120 years “might be a real absolute limit to human lifespan (寿命)”, he said.
His estimate was based on current statistics (数据) and a look at medical effects.
The number of people living past 100 in the world has increased by 71 per cent in the past decade, the Daily Mail reported.Blakemore agreed that this figure would continue to rise.But people living for longer than 120 years is “so rarely exceeded (超过)” that, even with medical and technological progress, it is unlikely that we can expect more than that, he said.
His claims contradict (与……矛盾) those made previously by researchers at the Buck Institute of Age Research in California.
In 2013, they changed two genetic (基因的) pathways in a tiny worm, and the creature lived life five times as long as a normal one. ①
If that technology could one day be used on human beings, it could extend human lives to 500 years, the Daily Mail reported. ②
But no matter which number is the ceiling (上限) for our lifespans, 120 or 500 years, it would take years for scientists to make that true for most people. ③
On 21 October the Gerontological Society of China published a report on centenarians (百岁老人) in China.There are 58,789 people above the age of 100 now in our country, with the oldest being 128 years old. ④
And by looking at these people’s lifestyles, the society worked out a recipe (秘诀) for a long life: outdoor activities, more communication with others, and a healthy diet containing lots of fruit, vegetables, and low fat food.
So how long do you think you could live If you play your part, your answer could be a satisfying one.
32.Which of the following statements does Sir Colin Blakemore agree with
A.It’s impossible for humans to live past 120 years.
B.It’s possible to expand humans’ lives to 500 years.
C.More people are expected to live past 100 years.
D.Chinese people live the healthiest way of life.
33.The following sentence “We don’t have to completely rely on scientific breakthroughs to live a longer life, however.” can be placed in .
A.① B.②
C.③ D.④
34.According to the passage, people may NOT live longer if they .
A.take part in outdoor activities
B.take in high fat food
C.develop a healthy lifestyle
D.talk with others more
35.What might be the best title for this passage
A.Future Lives “Shortened”
B.500 Years, Not a Dream
C.120 Years, the Limit Ceiling
D.Future Lives “Extended”

A Few Tips for Self Acceptance
We all want it ... to accept and love ourselves.But at times it seems too difficult and too far out of reach. 36 Here’s a handful of ways that will set you in the right direction.
● 37 Do not follow the people who make you feel not good enough.Why do you follow them?Are you hoping that eventually you will feel empowered because your life is better than theirs?Know that your life is your own; you are the only you in this world.
●Forgive yourself for mistakes that you have made.We are often ashamed of our shortcomings, our mistakes and our failures. 38 You will make mistakes, time and time again.Rather than getting caught up in how you could have done better, why not offer yourself a compassionate (有同情心) response?“That didn’t go as planned.But, I tried my best.”
●Recognize all of your strengths.Write them down in a journal.Begin to train your brain to look at strength before weakness.List all of your accomplishments and achievements.You have a job, earned your degree, and you got out of bed today. 39
●Now that you’ve listed your strengths, list your imperfections.Turn the page in your journal.Put into words why you feel unworthy, why you don’t feel good enough.Now, read these words back to yourself. 40 Turn to a page in your journal to your list of strengths and achievements.See how awesome you are
A.Feeling upset again
B.Where do you start
C.Nothing is too small to celebrate.
D.Remember, you are only human.
E.Set an intention for self acceptance.
F.Stop comparing yourself with others.
G.When does the comparison game start

The notion of building brand personality is promoted by Starbucks as a part of company culture to embed meaning in their products and thus attract more customers.
Starbucks literally changed the definition of “a good cup of coffee”.For Starbucks, the brand had three elements: coffee, 41 and stores.Strict control over the quality and processing of the beans 42 that the coffee would be of the highest possible quality.Outstanding store personnel were employed and trained in coffee knowledge and 43 service.Store design, atmosphere and aroma (浓香) all 44 the “Starbucks Experience”.
Almost all Starbucks stores were corporately owned and controlled.Starbucks prided itself on the “Starbucks Experience”, 45 coffee to provide a unique experience for its customers.
46 those traditional coffee houses providing you with the grab and go service, Starbucks provides you with more than coffee.You get great people, first rate music, a comfortable and upbeat meeting place, and 47 advice on brewing excellent coffee at home.At home you’re part of a family.At work you’re part of a company.And somewhere in between is a place where you can sit back and be yourself.That’s what a Starbucks store has been 48 to creating for its customers — a kind of “third place” where they can 49 , reflect, read, chat or listen.
The green Starbucks logo is a mermaid that looks like the end of the double image of the sea.It was designed by Terry Heckler, who got the 50 from the wooden statue of the sea.Mermaid logo also 51 original and modern meanings: her face is very simple, but with modern abstract forms of packaging; the middle is black and white, the only color on the outside surrounded by a circle.
Starbucks makes the typical American culture gradually broken down into elements of 52 : the visual warmth, hearing the way, smelling the aroma of coffee and so on.Just think, through the huge glass windows, watching the crowded streets, 53 sipping a coffee flavor, which is in line with the “Yapi”, the feeling of experience in the 54 life.
But the 55 of Starbucks is not about the coffee, although it’s great coffee.Coffee is only a carrier.Coffee consumption, to a great extent, is an emotional and cultural level of consumption.

So then we thought of my activities, and what I did with my lunch each day.As soon as I arrived at school, I always put my lunch in the classroom closet (储物间) along with all of the other lunches.And that brought us to Carl — the bad boy of the third grade classroom.The teacher didn’t like him in class and would send him to the closet, where he would spend most of each day.
Carl lived in a group foster home (集体寄养之家).He was loud and somewhat of a thief, he would take just about anything that wasn’t fastened down (盖紧), so he wasn’t welcome at school.Mom and I decided that with nothing else to do Carl was probably going through the lunches and eating what he liked.

Mom and I talked about ways to solve this problem.
Another day, Carl asked me if he could come to my house and meet Mom.
