Popular Self-Help Books
Want to be happier, healthier and more successful Here are four popular self-help books to get you going．
How to Win Friends & Influence People —by Dale Carnegie
This is the book that started the self-help type．Carnegie says financial success is 15% professional knowledge and 85% “the ability to express ideas and inspire people”．Here are a couple of his top tips: Let the other person feel that the idea is his or hers; talk about your own mistakes before blaming the other person．
Who Moved My Cheese —by Spencer Johnson
This book is about how to adapt to (适应) change in your life．It’s a story about two mice and two “little people” (who represent humans)．They all live in a maze (迷宫) and spend their days eating cheese．But one day they discover that their regular supply of cheese has disappeared．The mice immediately start searching the maze for more cheese but the two “little people” get angry．Finally, one of the “little people” accepts the situation and decides to look for a new cheese supply．
The Millionaire Next Door —by Thomas Stanley
The author of this book spent years interviewing American millionaires to figure out the secrets of their success．And he discovered that most millionaires don’t live a life in an expensive way．They’re rich because they live below their means and reinvest what they earn．
59 Seconds — by Richard Wiseman
This is a self-help book with a difference．Wiseman, a scientist, says 59 Seconds is about the “science of self-help”．And he uses science to show many self-help ideas are false．Other tips in the book are: If you want to eat more healthily, hang a mirror in your kitchen．This can reduce unhealthy eating by 35%．If you want to be more creative, put a plant on your desk．

From climbing a human ladder to swimming with the crocodiles (鳄鱼), there’s nothing this Spanish botanist wouldn’t do in the name of plants．
Carlos Magdalena the Spanish botanist tried to ignore the “Crocodile Danger” sign as he walked into the lagoon．Based in the hot houses and labs of London’s Kew Gardens, he thought he’d spotted a new waterlily species and it wouldn’t be the first time he’d risked his life doing his job．His mission is to save the world’s most endangered plants．As well as Harrison Ford’s film character, the great gardener is also known as the Messiah, the Code Breaker and the Plant Whisperer．He’s suffered dehydration in the planet’s largest desert, driven through rivers to reach an uncommon vegetation and experienced sickness in the Peruvian Andes, where he climbed a human ladder next to a towering drop to reach a rare flower．
“Directly or indirectly plants provide the air we breathe, medicines, clothes, shelter, food and drink,” he says in a firm voice．“Without them we wouldn’t be here．It’s as simple as that．”
Carlos grew up rolling the peaks and valleys of northern Spain in search of natural wonders but quickly learned all was not well．
There are some 400,000 plant species, with many more waiting to be discovered, and it’s estimated that a quarter of them are facing dangers of dying out．“They need our help and we should use whatever means possible to ensure their survival．”
Often peering into microscope late into night, Carlos marked himself out in the botanic world．Before long he came to understand that plants have a way of talking and to understand their needs, you had to listen to them．His work was daunting (令人怯步的) but he eventually triumphed．“It was like scoring the winning goal in a World Cup final,” he says．
24．What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 suggest
A．He was good at gardening． B．He played a role in the film．
C．He was famous for his plant-saving work． D．He got along very well with the other three．
25．When he was young, Carlos ________．
A．learned all the plants B．took risks to look for plants
C．watched over different plants D．displayed intense interest in plants

Toy trends may come and go, but one thing remains unchanged: Kids love to ride in wagons．Never was this made clearer to Adam Garone than when his then 3-year-old niece, Charlie was diagnosed with severe brain disease．During her eight-month stay in the Rady Children’s Hospital in San Diego, the medical staff shuttled her around to chemotherapy treatments and MRI scans in a Radio Flyer wagon．
“The wagon was allowing Charlie to feel a little bit like a kid,” says Garone, CEO of the Starlight Children’s Foundation．“She could smile and have fun．” Garone did not know it then, but this personal experience would greatly inform his involvement with Radio Flyer the following year．
It was in 2019 that Garone and Radio Flyer CEO Robert Pasin decided to cooperate to improve the wagons for hospital settings．The newly patented design, the Hero Wagon, has been adapted specifically for sick kids transportation．
The new Hero Wagon features a medical-grade, easy-to-disinfect material, instead of the classic metal frame．The design is foldable, allowing hospital staff to collapse the wagon for storage and keep more on site．An IV support (静脉输液支架) on the back was added so that a nurse or family member can pull the wagon without also needing to hang on to equipment poles．Lastly, the team included a clear plastic bag on the outer side— a dedicated spot for kids to put a drawing or photo, therefore giving them a sense of ownership over their wagon．
The Hero Wagon is now in hospitals across 33 U.S. states．“It’s just been incredible,” says Garone, “We’ve gotten hundreds of photos and stories through the years from families telling us how the Radio Flyer wagon was a bright spot for them．”
28．What does the underlined word “shuttle” in paragraph 1 mean
A．Transported． B．Held． C．Cared． D．Adopted．
29．When was Charlie diagnosed with brain disease
A．In 2017． B．In 2018． C．In 2019． D．In 2020．
30．Which of the following best describe the feature of the new Hero Wagon
A．Light and foldable． B．safe and convenient．
C．Good-looking and popular． D．Environment-friendly and cheap．
31．What’s the main idea of the passage
A．Kids show consistent love for wagons．
B．The hero wagon improves hospital settings．
C．Adam made a contribution to medical service．
D．The hero wagon delights sick kids in hospital．
D
When we meet someone for the first time, we usually get a vague sense of what kind of person they are by the way they shake hands, talk, or walk．In the age of social networking, however, first impressions are sometimes made even before we actually meet someone in person— that is, by looking at their profile photo．
According to a recent study, these social images say a lot about our personality．In the study, a group of researchers from the University of Pennsylvania in the US used software to analyze the profile pictures of 66,000 users of one US social platform．At the same time, about 434 participants were asked to complete a survey about their personality type．
According to the results, open people are more likely to pose in an unusual way and use objects such as glasses or a guitar in their profile photo because they enjoy new and exciting experiences．Meanwhile, neurotic people often hold back their negative emotions．They try to avoid showing their face; instead, they use an image of something like a pet, a car, or a building．That’s because neurotic people are strongly influenced by the “strong social norm (规范) against a very sad or angry appearance in profile pictures．”
Apart from the objects in profile pictures, the colors used in them also give us some information about the photo’s owner．For example, extraverts were found to have the most colorful profile images, as they want to emphasize their personality and show themselves off．
Daniel Preoiuc-Pietro from the University of Pennsylvania wrote in the research paper, “Social media photos usually represent an extension of one’s self, but they also allow a user to shape his or her own personality and idealized view．” So, when choosing a profile photo, maybe we should ask ourselves first what kind of image we’d like to show．After all, first impressions always last．
32．Why do neurotic people often avoid showing their face in their profile photo
A．Because they are fond of pets, cars and buildings．
B．Because they want to enjoy new experiences．
C．Because they don’t want to show their negative emotions．
D．Because they are not confident about themselves．
33．What does the underlined word in Para．4 refer to
A．Open people． B．Neurotic people．
C．Negative people． D．Popular people．
34．What is the writer’s attitude towards the choice of a profile photo
A．Casual． B．Cautious． C．Worried． D．Unclear．
35．What does this text mainly talk about
A．The importance of the first impression．
B．Some advice on how to choose a profile photo．
C．The difference between open people and neurotic people．
D．The relationship between one’s profile photo and his personality．
