4.【题干】We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. One might say, “Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?” “When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy my luck?” “And Paul—why didn’t I pick up that he was friendly just because I had a car?” When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, it’s too late. Why are we wrong about our friends—or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we don’t really listen, we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone says to you, “You are a lucky dog”. There’s a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn’t see it himself. But bringing in the “dog” he puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that he doesn’t think you deserve your luck.“Just think of all the things you have to be thanking for” is another noise that says oneThing and means another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole. But is he? Wrapped up in this phrase is the thought that your problem isn’t important. It’s telling you to think of all the starving people in the world when you have not got a date for Saturday night.How can you tell the real meaning behind someone’s words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says square with his tone of voice, his posture, the look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake.Therefore, when you hear some one saying, please try to know what he really means. Don’t just listen to what he says with your ears but feel the words he uses with your head. In this way you may make less mistakes.16. 【单项选择题】This passage tries to tell you how to ______. 选项： A:avoid mistakes about money and friends B: “size up” people C:avoid mistakes in understanding what people tell you D:keep people friendly without trusting them

10.How to improve your self-confidence? If building self-confidence is a matter of changing your beliefs about yourself, it's going to take some work. You can say "I'm good enough; I'm smart enough and people like me …" into the mirror every day — and it couldn't hurt — but there are more practical, effective tools you can use, too. Be honest with yourself Charlie Houpert, the author of Charisma on Command, suggests being "hyper-honest" with yourself as a simple, everyday way to exercise your confidence. "For example, let's say someone asks you what you do for fun or what you do for a living," he said. "If you find yourself biting your tongue or hiding something, evaluate that. That's an indication to either stop doing that thing or, more likely, accept that part of yourself and own it." This doesn't mean you have to share every part of your personality with everyone you meet. You can share your geeky hobbies with your geeky friends but stick to work topics at work. However, you can find someone to share yourself with. When you stop hiding parts of yourself from other people, you'll find you feel more confident in who you are. Start working out Many people start working out to lose weight or build muscle, but exercise can also be a huge boost to your self-confidence. The American Psychological Association has noted that exercise can improve your mood and — along with regular treatment and therapy — help combat depression and anxiety. It can also help improve your confidence if you stick with it for a while. Working out regularly requires a commitment, and keeping that commitment is an accomplishment. Not only does sticking to a new healthy habit make you feel more confident, but you can also spot physical improvements to your body and health over the long term. Try things that make you uncomfortable Stepping outside your comfort zone is, as you might expect, uncomfortable. But that's the point. Confidence is ultimately about being comfortable in a wide variety of situations that would make most people feel uncomfortable. So if you stretch your comfort zone every day, very quickly you'll have a large comfort zone and be able to feel more comfortable even when outside of it. This can involve more daunting changes, like taking a new job or confronting someone you usually avoid. However, it can also take smaller forms, like striking up a conversation with someone new if you're normally shy, or trying some new food. It's more important that you regularly expand your comfort zone rather than occasionally throwing yourself into the deep end.

E:True friends love and appreciate each other just the way they are F:A true friend, on the other hand, has your very best interests at heart. G:However, you’ll soon realize that they aren’t the ones that tried to solve all your problems.
