五、阅读理解。(22～23学年山西省实验中学期中)
请阅读下面的非连续性文本，按要求完成所给任务。
Do you often compare yourself with other people？Perhaps your best friend received something you really wanted，or you're not allowed to go to a concert that your brother or sister will attend.
Though people usually compare themselves with others，paying attention to your own progress is the most important.
Who should I compare with
“We are more likely (可能的) to compare ourselves with others who do better or not as well as we do，” says psychologist Nicola About.“But in fact，comparing with ourselves can be more helpful.This can make you know what you've achieved and become excited about what you might do.”
Whom to compare ourselves with？
What we often do：
Compare ourselves with others.
What we should do：(1)________________
What we will get from doing so：The sense of achievement and excitement.
Miya：I prefer regular school.You can have so many more friends and work with more people in groups.When I was having classes at home，I hated it.
Michael：If you're a slow learner，you can fall behind in regular school.But if you have classes at home，you can learn well.I'm having classes at home，and I make much more progress now than when I went to regular school.
TED：This free app is a great tool for those who are interested in public speaking.It provides more than 700 talks from the world's most famous thinkers，leaders and artists.It could be the first choice for many learners to develop their speaking skills.
Be realistic (现实的)
We often compare ourselves with those around us without realizing it.However，being realistic can help keep us from doing so.Remember that nobody is perfect.If you begin to feel low，pay attention to your own strengths and ask yourself questions to build up your self esteem (自尊).
Raising self esteem questions
●What am I good at？
●What do I feel proud of？
●What progress have I made？
Run your own race
In the race of life，there will always be someone ahead of you and someone behind you.So，why not just run your own race？Here are some ideas.
●Keep a diary and write down at least one thing that you are thankful for.You will know what you already have had instead of comparing with others.
●Create a “vision (视觉) board” to show where you would like to be at the end of the school year.For example，if you want to travel to London，you can put the picture of London on your vision board.This will encourage you to keep up the hard work to get there.Or you can put a picture of a model plane that you want.
●Write a “done” list instead of a “to do” list.This will remind you of what you have done and how far you've come.
24．Please translate the underlined sentence into Chinese.
尽管人们通常会将自己与他人进行比较，但关注自己的进步是最重要的。
25．Please complete the advice in the chart.
Compare with ourselves.
26．What question can help you build self esteem？(One example is OK.)
What am I good at？/...
27．What does “run your own race” mean in English
Pay attention to your own progress.
28．How does keeping a diary stop us from comparing with others
By letting us know what we already have had instead of comparing with others.
29．What will you put on your vision board？Why
I will put the picture of a model plane on my vision board，because I want to buy a new model plane./...

请阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，在方框内的缩写文章中，填入与短文意思最符合的单词。每空一词。
Becky，20，is a college student in England.She used to be shy when she was younger.“When I was in social situations，I never knew what to say，and I always felt others would laugh at me，” she said.She was also afraid to speak in public or to answer questions in class.When she finished high school，Becky made up her mind to change this.
So Becky started to push herself to get into more conversations.It was not easy for Becky to start talking with others，but with practice she succeeded in overcoming (克服) most of her shyness.“It was a lot easier when I finally realized that people didn't think my words were silly.”
If you find you are shy like Becky was，the first step is to know that shyness doesn't change your worth (价值).Often we don't have a correct idea of ourselves and feel like our worth comes from grades or beauty or what others think about us.Then we start to compare ourselves with others and it can influence our self esteem (自尊).Instead，we should remember that everyone has their own strengths (优点).Stop comparing ourselves with others，and it will be easier to start friendships.
All in all，in order to overcome shyness，you need to have a strong wish to change and start doing something.You won't go from being shy to outgoing overnight，but if you start today，you will be one step closer to becoming the person you want to be.

请阅读下面的非连续性文本，根据语篇内容，回答问题。
As part of our nature as humans，we normally don't like big changes.But changes always happen in our life.When we meet bad changes，we need to accept them and then work hard to overcome (克服) them.
The Two Main Kinds of Changes
Chart Ⅰ
In our daily lives，many people want to have good changes.Although different people have different ideas，we always want to become better.To make better changes，people often make resolutions.They usually have to do with exercise，study，food and hobbies.The following are Sarah's resolutions in this new term.
Chart Ⅱ
But most people find it hard to keep the resolutions.So，how can you keep them？Try these ways.
Tip 1：Write down your resolutions
Write your resolutions down on a piece of paper and put it on the wall.You can also use some pictures.For example，if you want to be a soccer player，you can draw a soccer ball.Every time you see the picture，you will spend more time on the sport.
Tip 2：Use a calendar
It is easy.Get a calendar.When you keep your promises，mark the day with a “√” on the calendar.Then try not to miss any day.
Tip 3：__？__
Tell your parents or friends about your resolutions.Ask them to remind you to keep your promises.
Tip 4：Make it fun
Sometimes you may feel it is boring to exercise or study，and you find it difficult to keep the resolution.Then you can try to make it fun.For example，if you allow yourself to watch your favorite TV show after finishing your homework，you'll start doing it right away.
16．What should we do when we meet bad changes
We should accept them and then work hard to overcome them.
17．What are the missing words in Chart Ⅰ？
Physical Change
18．According to Chart Ⅱ，what might Sarah be good at
(She might be good at) playing basketball.
19．When should we mark a day with a “√” on the calendar
When we keep our promises.
20．What is the best subtitle (小标题) of Tip 3
Tell others about your resolutions
21．What's your understanding of changes？How do you deal with them
I think changes are the only way of development.I always try to get used to the changes actively.
