A popular saying goes, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” However, that’s not really true. Words have the power to build us up or tear us down. It doesn’t matter if the words come from someone else or ourselves— the positive and negative effects are just as lasting.
We all talk to ourselves sometimes. We’re usually too embarrassed to admit it, though. In fact, we really shouldn’t be because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit.
This “self-talk” helps us motivate ourselves, remember things, solve problems, and calm ourselves down. Be aware, though, that as much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negative. So in order to stay positive, we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves. We should also be quick to give ourselves a pat on the back. The next time you finish a project, do well in a test, or finally clean your room, join me in saying “Good job!”
Often, words come out of our mouths without us thinking about the effect they will have. But we should be aware that our words cause certain responses in others. For example, when returning an item to a store, we might use warm, friendly language during the exchange. And the clerk will probably respond in a similar manner. Or harsh (刻薄的) and critical language will most likely cause the clerk to be defensive.
Words possess power because of their lasting effects. Many of us regret something we once said. And we remember unkind words said to us! Before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: Is it true? Is it loving? Is it needed? If what we want to say doesn’t pass this test, then it’s better left unsaid.
Words possess power: both positive and negative. Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively. We can offer hope, build self-esteem (自尊) and motivate others to do their best. Negative words destroy all those things. Will we use our words to hurt or to heal? The choice is ours.

One night recently, I was driving down a two-lane highway at about 60 miles an hour. A car approached from the opposite direction at about the same speed. As we passed each other, I caught the other driver’s eye for only a second. I wondered whether he might be thinking, as I was, how dependent we were on each other at that moment. I was relying on him not to fall asleep, not to be distracted (分心) by a phone conversation, not to cross over into my lane and bring my life to a sudden end. Though we had never spoken a word to each other, he relied on me in just the same way.
Multiplied a million times over, I believe that is the way the world works. At some level, we all depend upon one another. Sometimes that dependence requires us simply not to do something like crossing over the double yellow line. And sometimes it requires us to act cooperatively, with friends or even with strangers.
As technology makes our world smaller and smaller, the need increases for cooperative action among nations. In 2003, doctors in five nations were quickly organized to identify the SARS virus, which saved thousands of lives. The threat of international terrorism has shown itself to be a similar problem, one requiring team action by police and intelligence forces across the world. We must recognize that our fates are not ours alone to control.
In my own life, I used to put great stock in personal responsibility. But, as time has passed, I’ve also come to believe that there are moments when one must rely upon the good faith and judgment of others. So, while each of us faces the case of driving alone down a dark road, what we must learn with experience is that the approaching light may not be a threat, but a shared moment of trust.
1.The author considers it very important ______.
|
A.to drive with a companion |
B.to have personal independence |
|
C.to gain certain responsibility |
D.to share trust and cooperation |
2.The author said that they depended on each other in the same way because ______.
|
A.the approaching car was very dangerous |
|
B.they both drove their car at a terrific speed |
|
C.he might be killed out of the other’s careless driving |
|
D.it was dark and the road was not wide enough |
3. From the second paragraph, we know the author drew the important lesson from ______.
|
A.only one experience |
B.many similar experiences |
|
C.a(chǎn) driver on a dark road |
D.many friends and strangers |
4.The need for cooperation increases because ______.
|
A.people’s fates can’t be controlled by themselves |
|
B.certain viruses can spread in a quick way |
|
C.terrorism can happen everywhere and every day |
|
D.the world has become much more dangerous |
5.We can infer from the last paragraph that the author has ______.
|
A.believed in one’s own personal responsibility |
|
B.counted upon himself alone in everything |
|
C.had no trust in others’ good faith and judgment |
|
D.had a change on his viewpoint of life |

Many teenagers feel lonely, even if no one understands them and the changes they are going through. Day by day, everything seems differently, yet the same. Life never seems to be going fast enough; yet, by other ways, like a race car, life seems to be rushing so fast to control. These feelings are a common part of adolescence—the time of life between child or adult. And, though it may sometimes be difficult to believe, you are not alone—every adult have gone through adolescence, and your friends are going through them right now along with you. It is common for teenagers to feel lonely and misunderstood. These feelings can be being thought of as growing pains— difficulties that teenagers face during they grow to adults.

A man came home from work late, tired and irritated, only to find his 5-year old son 1 for him at the door.
“Daddy, may I ask you a question?”
“Yeah,___2__ , what is it?”replied the man.
“Daddy, how much do you make an hour?”
“That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?”the man said 3 .
“I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?”pleaded the little boy.
“If you must know, I make $20 an hour. ”
“Oh,”the little boy replied, with his head 4 . Looking up, he said, “Daddy, may I please borrow $10? ”
The father was furious,“if the only reason why you asked that is that you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to 5 . Think about why you are being so selfish. I work hard every day for such childish behavior”
The little boy quietly went to his room and 6 the door. The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy's questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money? After about an hour or so, the man calmed down, and started to think: Maybe there was something he really needed to buy 7 that $10 and he really didn't ask for money very often. The man went to the door of the little boy's room and opened the door.
“Are you asleep, son?”He asked.
“No, daddy, I'm 8 .”replied the boy. zxxk
“I've been thinking, maybe I was too 9 on you earlier,”said the man, “It's been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you. Here's the $10 you asked for.”
The little boy sat straight up, smiling.“Oh, thank you daddy!” He yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills. The man, seeing that the boy already had money, started to get angry again. The little boy slowly counted out his money, then looked up at his father.
“Why do you want more money when you aready have some?”the father grumbled.
“Because I didn't have 10 , but now I do, ”the little boy replied.“Daddy, I have $20 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you.”
